You're Hired: The Apprentice: BBC 1 @ 9

Elmo

Yes the final is on tonight.

So it between Yasmina and Kate.

Who will be the Next Apprentice?

SoupyNorman

Very hard to call...

I like Yasminas savvy, be she has one sour face.

Kate is boring and safe but she is more aesthetically pleasing!

salad dodger

Kate seems to be off to a more focused start

SoupyNorman

Both their ideas are terrible...Yasminas more so.


The 'intimate' chocolates looked like a box of condoms!

salad dodger

That Phillip lad is a tool!!!!

SoupyNorman

Yasmina pulled it out of the bag on the presentation!

Ginny

She did but the flavours were awful from the peoples reactions.

salad dodger

Still not absolutely sure who'll get it!!

Ginny

Kate may have just shot herself in the foot.

SoupyNorman

She just spouted a whole barrel of business speak...very unimpressive.

Ginny

I really hope she gets it though.

salad dodger

G'wan Yasmina!!!

Ginny

OH jesus!

SoupyNorman

Meh, a very underwhelming final.

There wasnt alot between the two...ah well, see ya'll next year

salad dodger

Something just didn't sit right with me about that Kate one. She just seemed too prim and proper. Nobody can be that perfect and seemingly emotionless

RadioGaGa

I was sure Kate was getting hired, fairly surprised about Yasmina.
Btw anybody know the name of this piano tune that was played during the episode? Its a common tune but I haven't a clue what its called

but they were two excellent candidates, the lack of fireworks is mostly because they appear to have integrity and didn't try to win by assasination

Serena08

Ah sugar I forgot this nooooooooooooo is it repeated does anyone know?????

BeatNikDub

Underwhelming indeed but a good series overall, James being the star really

Btw, has Yasmina had a boob job or what?!! *shock*

Very good final but I think Sugar made the right choice in the end. Kate was good but Yasmina had something special about her - she has more character, firepower and ambition to succeed than Kate has.. Sugar often makes the wrong choice in the final (like picking Lee over Claire last year) but he got it right this year.

lostexpectation

thought kate would win

quarryman

Reminded me when i was watching the last final night; i remembered reading that Sugar actually employs both finalists for 6 months before making his choice.

So Kate being the obvious choice after the tasks may not have worked out as well when in the in job.

I liked Kate all along but I suspected she got favourite treatment at times. Sugar never lectured her and she had easy interviews. Maybe he had nothing to lecture her about..maybe her interviewers could find nothing to catch her out on...I don't know but I'd have liked to see her facing a really hard challenge or had a disaster to deal with to see how she'd cope, she did well on the cereal task but it wasn't one of the more difficult ones and the whole team worked well together.
She was more likeable than Yasmina I think, however I did feel at times Yasmina was the only one who I could see in a head to head row with Debra and getting the better of her so I wanted her to last in case Debra survived 'til the final.

Not sure about this. I think Kate's main strength is that she was unflappable. You could throw anything at her, and she wouldn't be phased. She just dealt with the interviews better than the others.

They record 2 endings and Sugar really only decides days before transmission which one he chooses.

Did anyone notice Lee McQueen in the audience with a big sour puss on him? They never even spoke to him. He must know his 5 mins of fame are up. Didn't like either of them but glad Kate didn't get it handed to her. And what is she doing with that Philip. What an idiot.
