Last night's show managed 7.5 million overnights, which is likely to mean 7.7 or 7.8 million final figures. This is the highest the apprentice has had yet I believe.

So as much as we all moan about the four gobshites that are left, they must be doing something right, or we wouldn't all be sitting glued to our sets on a Wednesday evening.

I'm questioning whether I'll be around for it next week. I can't bring myself to care who wins. I probably will watch in the end but I feel like all the air's been let out of the series after last night and we're going to end up with a floppy spent balloon of a final.

I don't think I'll be bothered to watch next weeks. Looks like a non-event.

It is going to be a great final next week. Four gutsy people left and no crybabies

Whoever wins i'll be surprised if they last a year before moving on. It can't be such a dream job or why have so many winning candidates left?

Would anyone watch if Lucinda is in?

I'll be watching it, even though I'm not keen on the finalists. It's still going to entertaining in spite of them. Plus some of the other candidates will be back, so there's always that!

In all seriousness I think there is two good reasons to watch.

First I really think it is a strong line up, & for Raef, Kevin & Alex.
I will be glued.

No crybabies, except Alex "I'm 24 *sniff* *pout*" Weaselspoon.

All are gutsy though - except the aforementioned moron, and Helene "I'll sit back and ride on people's coattails and use words like 'gobshite' to make me look tough" Speight(ful). Gutsy also excludes Lee, who wasn't gutsy enough to own up to his bullshit CV, nor to resist hopping on the bandwagon instead of going against the grain when everyone was interrogating Sara.

I'll be watching for the ex-candidates and I might cheer on Claire, the best of a rotten bunch.

I'll be watching for sure, even though I don't like any of the finalists. Lucinda should definitely not have gone before the lying Lee and that gobshite Helene. Alex is actually acting even younger than his 24 years with his pouty, sulky demeanour and Claire still makes me cringe and I doubt she has changed her behaviour - shes just tempered it in order to get through.
