Defo agree with both that was fired this week.

Joanne's in the final 5. I could still win my work sweepstake. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Omg Elizabeth at the interviews, I cannot wait, that teaser was amazing enough *.

After tonight, I think it could be her vs. Michaela or James in all honesty. Is she the only one left that's won tasks whilst being project manager more than once?

 

She bores me a bit and is a bit monotonous (her talking on the catwalk nearly put me to sleep), but this isn't a personality show and she does seem to work hard/overcome certain situations (like when she had problems with Jade and Elizabeth etc..)

 

Looking forward to next week though!

Aww I like Joanna, I think she's got plenty of personality! Moreso than James who is a pretty face and nothing more.

 

If I had it my way it would be Joanna vs. Elizabeth, I think they've been the most consistent for me. I liked Michaela up until this episode, she came across a bit cold.

No real strong candidates this year.

 

James looks like the winner on paper for me. Lord Sugar loves people of his ilk.

I think you might be right, James wins almost all of the time when he is the project manager and if his money making claims are true then his business plan would be likely to be the most lucrative.

I think Joanna and James for the final, it depends on whether Michaelas already existing business works for or against her. Although we don't really know much about their business plans so someone who's been decent so far could come up with something absolutely ludicrous ;)

Elisabeth through to interviews *.* I'm a bit disappointed that Lord Sugar picked Sarah over Jade but the latter was more at fault in this week's task.

 

I still think it's James's for the taking but Joanna has had a similar edit to Alannah last year and has seemed like the underdog for a few weeks now.

I don't see why James should be front runner, he has done nothing of worth the whole series?!

Joanna is my favourite, hope she wins!

I think Jade should have stayed over Sarah.

 

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED about Elizabeth in the interviews. She's outstanding. It's going to be a f***ing car crash and I'm already living for it.

 

 

I still have 2 of my 3 picks in the competition so I'm in a good place to win a free lunch off my co-worker!

James is a great worker, but not a great leader. He was an abysmal PM the first time, and was more or less saved by Elizabeth and Joanna’s outstanding performance the second time. That said, I really like James - he’s not malicious or bitchy and is generally very positive, all (I think) is working in his favour.

 

Joanna is the underdog for sure. She could do very well actually. She is a good leader but not a great worker, though some of that is also down to the people she’s had to work with.

 

Elizabeth is hilarious, I’m so glad she has stayed so long. Usually people like her get the boot on like week 3. I don’t think she’ll win but she has excellent enthusiasm and drive.

 

Sarah is very levelheaded and measured. It’s not a bad thing but I don’t feel a lot of energy (or anything, at all - it’s almost like she’s on auto-pilot/dead) :lol: She comes across as capable, but she just has ZERO charisma.

 

Michaela is just the definition of ‘meh’ for me. I feel like she’s been quite lucky more than anything. I just find her quite cold and sometimes smug.

He runs a recruitment company, literally the type of business that is catnip to Lord Sugar.

The Aussie winner, was it Mark? If I remember correctly he had a recruitment company.

Yes! I knew there was a previous winner in that field but couldn't remember which. Poor Bianca with her tights was robbed!

Mark was ClimbOnline, improving where you place in search results.

 

Ricky Martin was HyperRecruitment Company for IT/tech recruitment and the Colony Gin woman from last year is working for him!

 

James is definitely a front-runner for the win because he most certainly should have been fired when he was Om the first time. He did nothing yet survived because of his past employment history and, presumably, a good business.

 

After this week’s task, I’m definitely rooting for Joanna now. She did really well in the industry she wants to build her business in which shows high potential. Michaela I thought had potential but she’s not been as good as I thought she was. Sarah is just too bland, dodging the blame and playing a good game at deflecting onto others. Elizabeth is Elizabeth and I’m SO excited to see her in the interviews!

 

Not happy that the Linda (?) woman is back for the interviews! She doesn’t listen to the candidates as she is tries to be nasty for the sake of being nasty, so she can boost ang fame. It doesn’t come naturally like it once did with Claude.

That's all well and good, but has he REALLY proven himself since the beginning of the series?! He's just kind of smiled and looked pretty throughout the competition. He was pretty much just a model in the last episode!

That's always the problem with the current format rlly, he knows the business plans so probably takes that into account when deciding who to fire and I think he's just got lucky, and it also means candidates can shine all the way through but if their business plan is rubbish, they've not got a hope and the last ten weeks are rendered moot. I've definitely noticed with James that he's been let off far too much, I do wonder if that would've been the case under the old format.

 

I think Joanna is a likely winner (well, unless she has a rubbish business plan), she seems to be getting the same edit as the likes of Bianca and Alanna in the sense of starting off bad and coming into the limelight more, whom a lot thought were surprise finalists/winners too. I find her a bit too argumentative and bitchy in general, but she did do a great job as PM.

Whichever one of Elizabeth and Joanne doesn't win for CBB tbh
