If I could give Raef and Simon the same score I would. Similarly if I could Alex and Michael nil point I definitely would.

The class of Apprentice 2008 has been the worst of all the series.

But with a smile on my face it has been for me the best candidate ever in any series found in one posh likeable gentleman, called Raef apart from Tim Campbell.


Babeth

With 47 completed rankings in, there are only 8 points between the 2nd and 3rd placed candidate, and only one point between the 5th and 6th placed candidate. Down at the bottom, only 8 points separate the 14th and 15th placed candidates....

15 - Raef Bjayou
14 - Lee McQueen
13 - Simon Smith
12 - Jennifer Maguire
11 - Claire Young
10 - Lucinda Ledgerwood
9 - Shazia Wahab
8 - Nicholas de Lacy-Brown
7 - Sara Dhada
6 - Kevin Shaw
5 - Alex Wotherspoon
4 - Helene Speight
3 - Ian Stringer
2 - Lindi Mngaza
1 - Michael Sophocles
0 - Jenny Celerier

Any more for any more?

You don't need to be a psephological genius to realise that Raef and Lucinda are massively outscoring the rest of the candidates in the voting.

Only problem is, most of the DS regulars seem incapable of distinguishing between The Apprentice and Big Brother.

It's got nothing to do with who is the "nicest" person, it's all about who will best fit SAS's organisation and business style. And the 4 that are left fit the bill better than those who've been fired. Fact. Get over it.

You might be surprised there.....


In the context of this poll, it can be based upon whatever people want to base it on. If I had wanted people to base it on such a strict criteria as you have then I would have said so in the OP. This is just a bit of fun. It strikes me that you might be taking it rather too seriously.....

48 hours left to vote.....

15 (million) - Raef Bjayou
14 - Lucinda Ledgerwood
13 - Jennifer Maguire
12 - Simon Smith
11 - Claire Young
10 - Nicholas De Lacy Brown (Given the chance, this guy could have been great)
9 - Shazia Wahab (wasn't at fault, shouldn't have been fired)
8 - Sara Dhada
7 - Michael Sophocles
6 - Lee McQueen
5 - Helene Speight.
4 - Lindi Mngaza
3 - Jenny Celerier
2 - Ian Stringer
1 - Alex Wotherspoon
0 - Kevin Shaw

Those are THE rankings. Set them in stone.

15, Claire Young, Motormouth & a real star in this series for me.

14, Lee McQueen, All rounder & good fun & most important digs into tasks.

13, Raef Bjayou, Shame he left early. A decent guy who never has a bad word of anyone.

12, Helene Speight, No nonese northerner who was a good PM & got stuck in without moaning.

11, Lucinda Legerwood, Love the way she dresses & the way she thinks but sadly lost her way in the end.

10, Kevin Smith, A prat but he is the most person I have laurghed at in the series especially as head chef.

9, Alex Wotherspoon, Great at sales but a bit of a snake.

8, Simon Smith, The only person I felt sorry for when fired but nice bloke.

7, Michael Sophocles, Well what can one say?

6, Lindi Mngaze, Would of like to have seen more of has she seemed down to earth.

The rest where either a waste of space or complete ass****.
