Yes, and it was Raef - still think Sir Alan was a bloody fool, especially now that Lee has fallen from grace.

I liked Lucinda from week one and adore her now.

Lucinda, Lee, Raef and Simon were my favourites but I would like to see either Alex or Lee win it.

The same as almost everyone else

Raef, Lucinda, and then Sara and Simon

As far as Raef and Lucinda goes, they were much too classy for the likes of Alan Sugar.

Sugar is a grizzled old scrote who deserves the four he's now left with. I can't stand any of them.

Simon, Lucinda, Saira and Raef

Alex and Lee.

Easily Raef and Lucinda, though I always feel it takes a few weeks before I support anyone properly. It's really hard to judge during the first couple of weeks, because there's so many of them there and some people just give off really bad first impressions.

Raef and Lucinda - they have class.
Simon - thoroughly nice.
Alex - I believe he has been much maligned.

The choice of our favourites points to two strong essentials in business; strong character and personality. That's the reason why Raef, Lucinda, Simon and Sara stands above the rest.

However, in SAS's empire it does not seem to count for much considering the calibre of the final four.

I have loved Lucinda from the beginning. Raef was awsome - still wish it was Lucinda v Raef final - that would of been awsome!

I know....it would have been the best final EVER!!!!

But maybe they are too good for the show in reality....

I agree with this comment. I think Alex has been poorly edited. Yeah, he has a snaky element to him, but I think it has been emphasised by the producers of TA to give the viewer a sense of dislike, character etc. to him which I think a lot of the others do have, but hasn't been made apparent to the unsuspecting viewer. His sales record (esp in car task), interviews etc. have shown him to be a good candidate to be the next apprentice.

Raef (favourite) - Very good, and by far (imo) the best candidate on the series overall in terms of business and as shown as a candidate (didn't resort to backstabbing etc.)

Also mentionable: Lucinda, Simon, Sara

Ive liked Claire from the start, and I liked Raef a lot throughout his stay. I liked Michael at first to, but that faded quickly, and Lucinda and Helene became favourites of mine in the second half of the series, after rubbish starts. I liked Lindi to, though she was rather useless in hindsight.

For most of the series I tried to remain natural which is not easy but I have to admite I liked Raef & was gutted when he left but SAS was right in fireing him.
Lucinda was my secound favoute in the early part of the series but quickly lost her as she did become a pain in the backside towards the end.

But I have to say Claire for me. She can be awful, Noisey, Fun & loveable. Also the other northerner Helene who I would of liked to have seen more of.

In my option this is the best series in terms of the range of canidates which is backed up by viewing figures.
Look forward to the grand final.

Lucinda

Now I want Claire

My favorites this year were Jenny Mc, Raef and Lee. (Hope Lee wins)

Alex is okay.

I went off Claire after the way she treated Simon and I am not convinced she has changed that much.

I never took to Helene, but then I dont know anything about her

Loved Lucinda's clothing, she brightened them all up but she would be nightmare apprentice material
