Poor Raef, stuck in a lift, then a car, with those two talentless, vinegary harridans. He is light years ahead of them in every way.

What a bad example to set to kids - that charm and courtesy and ability can get you fired, whereas backstabbing and bullying will get you places.

Raef is an utter gentleman, and a darling. Manners, looks and (I thought) enough business acumen - I hope he goes far.

You don't need to feel bad for Raef, he's the runaway winner of this years show regardless...

Raef will make more than 100,000 a year, he doesn't need sir alan!

Right now - if anyone asked who I would like to meet - I would reply "Raef and Lucinda" to shake their hands and to say "Well Done". Not easy to leave a show like The Apprentice with your dignity and integrity intact.

Raef a true gentleman ... Lucinda makes me ashamed to be a woman

Totally agree. They were the only two candidates I liked. Conducted themselves in the right way throughout.

agreed. Hes fab. I love a true gentleman, not a man that slams the door in your face

I am a supporter of Lucinda most of the time. But tonight she could have been fun with it and let bygones be bygones. But no, she had to get Raef involved. This was a final about the finalist. It was not the time and place.

Isn't that funny? I thought that Raef and Lucinda were male and female counterparts and I love them both!

I do think Simon showed her up a bit tonight...he was treated even worse than Lucinda than by Claire, yet he turned around and totally got behind her during the task and then was so supportive of her (and Lee) in that final boardroom.

Lucinda is great, but she did let herself down there and I hope she might realise that in hindsight....

What did I miss? Was that on "You're fired"? I never watched it!

Lucinda and Helene got in to it, and then she tried to drag poor Raef in to it, but he was having none of it...it was a shame really. I like Lucinda a lot but she did let herself down a bit.....
