Even though she may not have been right, She should of stayed on and Alex or Helene should of gone, even if she wasn't right it would of been a better final
For me, Lucinda is the real winner

Such a shame, but I am sure things will change for the better once people realise that teamwork is not about stamping on people or stabbing them in the back.
I wouldn't want to argue with the successful businesswoman on "You're Fired" just now who said basically that Lucinda's too good for Sir Alan's organisation and that her problems were not entirely her fault.”

Dear oh dear, you observations are utterly refuted by the inconvenient facts.
She knows nothing of team work, she almost sabotaged two tasks through her own indulgence and foot stamping and when she wasn't sabotaging she was being inept or babbling, air-headed nonsense.
Lucinda lovers seem to have some sort of beret fetish or just simply like to see some well dressed blonde swanning around and have no wish to evaluate her business skills, or perhaps they are simply are blinded by her bright clothes.
The Apprentice is not a fashion show! Nor is it a care in the community programme for providing the inept a leg up in business.

Whilst not of a religious disposition myself I shall simply hope that he can work through whatever it is that troubles him and emerge with a more positive outlook that will free him from the desire to be, well, just plain nasty.”

I don't detest Lucinda, she is ok as a human being, unlike someone like Jenny C, but I am stunned that some people can't see underneath the beret and see her self-indulgent, detached from reality air-headedness.
As a dress shop assistant she would be fine, as much else she is appalling.
Lucinda only wanted the position with Sir Alan to fuel her Ego. That's my honest opinion. Not fair for to take the role knowing she doesn't need the bloody position to begin with. Good luck to her though. I did like her dress sense. Very good.

Here's another 'inconvenient fact' for you (as you like to put it).
I doubt someone earning £100k+ on their own two feet need any care in the community programmes to help them. In fact she could probably afford to run her own.

Self knowledge is a wonderful thing.
It is just a shame that it doesn't come in bottles as that means we are unable to club together and buy you one to replenish your clearly completely exhausted supply.
I predict that she will be getting fewer contracts than she was before after her appalling performance in the Apprentice.

As possible the least perceptive and most detached from reality poster on this forum I don't think you are in a position to make comments about self-knowledge.

You might want to employ a risk analyst before making bets like that.

I'm quite sure that is what you would like to happen.
However, if you look at the sentiment of probably 95+% of the posters on this thread and if you look at her popularity in the site poll, and if you look at her reception on "you're fired", then unless the DS membership and the audience of "you're fired" hold opinions that are completely askew from the populace at large I suspect that you would be dissappointed.
She will go from strength to strength despite the futile wishes of a tiny minority of petty, viscious, small minded and spiteful people who just cannot stand for anyone to be different.

I think you're right, but I think in the end he did her a favour. Can you imagine a class act like Lucinda working for an ex barrow boy like him....................
waiting for Vivids comments..................................

Hehe, definitely! My God, he's made quite a few dodgy decisions this year. With "dodgy" being understatement of the decade.
I wouldn't work for Sir Alan if he paid me £100k a year!
What? He will...?
Sir Alan, stick it up your ill-informed arse!

I don't know if I can bring myself to watch the final - I can't stand any of the finalists and the thought of the chin-woman returning is making making my flesh crawl, already.
This year has been entertaining for all the wrong reasons and I've got a feeling next weeks show is going to serve up more of the same dross - I only hope Lucinda and Sara refused to appear because if they are featured no doubt they will continue to be blamed and marginalised by the rest of the baying mob.
It makes me feel so nostalgic for the first series when the candidates had a modicum of intelligence and business sense.

I think the vast majority of her supporters are interested in someone who smiles, who is well dressed, who is a bit kooky, who is entertaining and full of idiosyncratic mannerisms, who has a large range of stockings, who is novel, and wish to be entertained more than anything. These same people don't seem to have a grip on the business world or what constitutes competence.
These same people don't wish to acknowledge her petty attitude, inept brain and non-existent skill set and forget that this woman was intent on sabotage on several tasks in some sort of extended self-indulgent foot stamping exercise when she felt confident enough to assert herself.

I agree with everything you said.
The "baddies" will all be reunited next week (bar Raef) and the true champions (Lucinda and Sara) will be excluded further.
It will be an anti-climax whoever wins. The joy from the show has gone now.
I would agree that this crop of candidates is poorer than previous years. Where are the James Max's?

How on Earth can you say things such as her "inept brain"? What justification is there in such a pathetic attack?

Hmmm.
It becomes clear that you have been concentrating on entirely different aspects of this series than the rest of us.
Is there anything you would like to tell us?

Oh well I suppose the Beeb is happy they finally managed to concoct their own version of Big Brother which is ironic as Claire is reported to have applied four times to be on that show.
I think all the Lucinda fans should go down the pub next Wednesday at 9:00, wearing a beret, of course, and leave the pond life to fight it out.
In all honesty does anyone really care who wins this farce, now Lucinda's gone?
It's resembling a pikeys picnic.

What a brilliant idea.
(Having set the VCR/PVR, of course.

His entire existance is predicated on his hatred for Lucinda and Claire.
It's almost like something out of a Sci-Fi novel!

I may do the same (minus the beret) and raise a glass to her
