It's a matter of class. Anybody who deploys the shamelessly underhand tricks he did in the boardroom has none. Somebody who want it that bad needs to take a long hard look at themselves. He is also utterly petulant when facing any sort of criticism himself. A sure sign of insecurity.
I'm just glad its all coming to an end.
I don't like the remainder of the contestants so don't care who wins.
SAS = you may well rue the Apprentice you select, you deserve to.

Aww Lucinda! I thought she was great this series. One of the only good things about it. Good luck to her.
Alex gets worse by the week

I can see what you're saying, but she didn't throw a wobbly. She was having a whinge, and quite rightly imo because she was left completely alone and shoved to one side when she wasn't confident about selling and had said so. They only needed one person by the Zonda - Alex as he's the strongest sales person and Lucinda could have sold the raffle tickets there too, while Lee went off and rented out the other car. Lee did not manage that project well at all.
Considering she'd been brow beaten and bullied every day up until that point, I think she was well entitled to have a wobbly anyway. Personally, I'd have walked long before.

I agree, they also don't seem to stay that long either.

He conveniently only told a half-truth, which is what made it so vile. He forgot to mention that she later said that she really wanted the job after the last interview.
He didn't attack Lee for lying on his CV (which he was made aware of in the boardroom) which also would have been to his advantage.
Alex may only be 24 but he's shown that he can't be trusted.
Can Sir Alan throw another surprise and fire them all next week? Survival of the fittest between a back-stabbing "24 year old", a spelling-challenged liar, a motor mouth and Mrs potato head? Yawn...
The candidate who he fired mistakenly was surely either Shazia or Raef, and I believe that the candidate who "lost control of the task, yet still had the arrogance to believe that he was doing a good job" or words to that effect was Kevin

He would have if Lee was the coming across as weak...he'd probably sell his own ma and pa if it got him the job.
Well the only one with any integrity left now appears to be Claire.
The others have shown themselves to be extremely unprofessional.
As for Alex all I can say is a stereotypical salesman. If he was employed I'd recommend
his coworkers adopted standard daily practice of checking your backs for any knives sticking out. No integrity, no honesty, no morals.

I fear he may have been talking about Raef, much as I disagree....

Can you imagine how good it's gonna be? 4 teams completing a task in the final, one of them containing Raef, followed by 3 firings and the choosing of the winner! I'm now more excited about this than Big Brother's return tomorrow lol.

I always feel that Alex is playing at being a business man. It's as if he saw too many television series and based how he should act on seeing how they "act".
It was annoying that just before Lucinda could comment on Alex, that comedian interrupted with another "he's 24!" joke so we never got to hear what she thought of him.
Phew finally got to the end 
who did 'they' want? or just not him?!
They could come back and sabotage the tasks
Only 39 here!
Poor Lucinda. She was a great contestant - a class above. I didn't expect her to get through, but neither did I expect 4 of them to go through. If he was gonna keep 4 then why not 5. Or she should have at least been one of the 4.
As great as she is I think she probably isn't right for him (as wasn't Raef) - and will be happier else where. But I do wish she'd lasted till next week (as had Raef) since the other useless bunch did.
The spelling - forgiveable in many situations - but never ever on a machine which has spell check - and on one of the most important documents you've ever filled in. Shocking.
Would be claire for me too. But wonder if that would be too predictable...

Yes, it was bloody maddening that, I was waiting to hear him getting a good slagging off!
OMG
Just watched the Apprentice on iPlayer and I'm fuming!!!!
How could that gurning, back-stabbing plastic Alex get through and not Lucinda

Alex may look and act pretty cool most of the time and whilst he generally comes across as being a bit suave, I woudn't mind betting that when he walked out of the interview with the "bulldog", poor old Alex (he's 24) needed a clean pair of undies ... he certainly looked like he'd had a bit of an accident after squirming in the chair like he did!!

Wouldn't fit with Raef, as Raef was able to acknowledge that errors were made, where as Kevin never did....
Not liking Sir Alan's decision tonight, the man should have had the balls to kick Alex and Helene out - They are nothing but dead weight at this point.
Rooting for Lee and Claire on this one.
