The Apprentice appears to be so contrived, with candidates that quite clearly stand no chance of winning, but are in for entertainment value.

It is basically Big Brother for those that actually know where the term 'Big Brother' originates from.

It already exists. Not sure that it's all that successful.

Edit - beaten to it!

Oh, and Jordan claiming he has a "gentleman's agreement" with the actual business owners. I know the producers should never have allowed him on the show, but does he genuinely believe he has any interest in the business whatsoever? Completely deluded.

He was worth keeping in just to see his Rubik's Cube meltdown though.

Louisa has a track record of making money.

I think with Jordan the situation is more of a pissed up situation in a pub and 'Okay mate, if you can get Sugar involved then you're in'. Then as he leaves the table the two owners start sniggering.

The right two are through Luisa clearly is good at business, she's a manipulative little ****** though. I'm surprised no one had anything to say about her sly tactics inbetween interviews. Leah is bang on and botox is also booming at the moment and is one of the industries that has been unaffected by the recession. The last two winners were that nail clipper and the wrinkle cream stuff so it also fits in with the direction Sugar seems to be going

Why?

The right 2 are in the final after Neil Clough messed up project Neil Clough.

I found that bit hilarious.

I've coached football to a kid that can do it in under two minutes; I've actually seen him do it. Its a pretty awesome talent to have!

Leah is 24? Really?

Part of me thinks that what she appears to have achieved is amazing.

Another part of me thinks she comes across as the dullest 24 year old ever.

I think she'll win personally as Luisa comes across as a bit of a nightmare to work with.

I thin this bloke would have respected him more if he had refused to do the rubiks cube part.

It was entertaining to see the candidates squirm, but Sugars obviously rehearsed one liners were a bit cringeworthy

Francesca plucking £5m out of the air as it was a nice round figure was staggering, for that alone she should have gone, how can you enter business with someone like that?

As were his helpers laughing at said one liners - in fact more cringeworthy then anything the apprentices have done.

Evidently Leah's thought her business plan through and she's a doctor so fair play. But is anyone finding this "Leah's a genius" thing a little bit tedious? If anything, Luisa was the one who gave the better answers to the tough questions. Leah just drones some fairly stock Apprentice bullshit. Not helped by the fact her face is so paralysed you can see her whole body contort when she tries to raise a smile.

The three girls clearly had the best business plans.

Leah to win for me. She has actual expertise in what she wants to do, and has learned a lot about business on the way to pull off a win in the final.

I feel she would be on a more even footing with Alan Sugar too in the business.

Agree - Leah isn't the first doctor the world has ever seen. By the way she goes on, you'd think she was a leading brain surgeon.
