Probaly because she is sooooooooo borrrrrrrrring, that her interviews would send everyone to sleep. How she is still there is a mystery, I cant think of a single thing she has done in nearly 3 months. What will her best bits be ?

We can only hope that isn't a sign of her being the winner and they're saving the majority of interview footage until after its announced.

Wouldn't like to see Helene win.

Well it's a nice thought.

I'd love to see Helene win.

She hardly gets any airtime anyway, I often forget she's there till the boardroom. I guess she doesn't have much to add in the way of entertainment or input

I missed the intro on Monday nights profile programme, all the way through I was racking my brains as to who the 5th candidate was.

Memorable isn't a word I would use to describe Helene (I almost called her Claire, now there's one you can't forget )

Now you come to mention it she was not featured much in the interviews at all.

The only time I think was when she was being interviewed by Karen Brady. We never saw her being interviewed the men.

To me she looked close to tears all the time. Tears coming from Helene a real ballsy woman

Because in the interviewers' eyes, she was so brilliant, even though she has spoken nothing of business and she is going for a position in a business environment. And because of this brilliance, she didn't need any airtime because she is too brilliant for us to see and has contributed well to every task and so well that it's been noticed by all us Apprentice viewers.

I like Helene very much and I hope she wins.
Alex - too defensive and insecure
Lee - too much of a wide boy
Claire - She would be a good winner, but she's going to make it anway....

Helene's interview performance was dreadful. I'm now self employed but since when has it become acceptable to swear like a trooper at an interview?

Maybe they didn't really show her because it was so awful, but they needed 4 for the final.

Alex, Lee and Lucinda got the most airtime, probably because they were the weakest contestants and had worse CVs.
Helene really went up in my estimation last night.

easy. Because her interviews would put you to sleep. The show is regarded as entertainment, and she clearly lacks any personality.

Also the fact that she called the other contestants gobshites was so unprofessional. Made me cringe.

On the contrary, we saw too much of her - 5 seconds would have been ample.

No way will the BBC let Helen(e) win, it'll make a mockery of the entire series, since she's barely been in it.

Considering some of her language, perhaps they had to omit most of her interviews because the programme is only allowed to use a certain number of rude words per contestant/per hour?
Think anyone going for a job interview in the next few weeks could have picked up quite a few tips on 'what not to do or say at an interview' from last night's show.

I thought the gobs***es comment was a tad unprofessional but overall despite being dull she came across as good at interviews.

I doubt there was much to be learned from watching them and expect they were devoid of any entertainment value.

Absolutely and how long would it be before she started calling Sir Alan, his staff and his business colleagues foul names behind their backs?

Effing Frances.....

Minger Margaret......

Numpty Nick.....

Bullshitter Brady....

Bollocks Bordan...

.....Paul....?

....Claude....?

& Sir Alan ........?

I really don't know. I used to work in engineering and wouldn't dream of speaking like that in an interview

but then none of the interviewers even mentioned it so perhaps it's acceptable, who knows

Lying on a CV appears to be so now so what do I know

I agree. Also, for someone who is supposed to have fought against the tide and done really well despite such a hard background, where is her emotion, where is her passion? There's just nothing there. I don't understand how on earth she got this far, and how she didn't get fired last night.

Personally I think SAS just wanted Lucinda out, and I also don't think he ever had any intention of firing three people last night.

Using your parents having an illness is pathetic.

Wonder if she brought that up when she was unhappy because she "got the worst office at work".
