hmmmm...Big Brother makes its winners (and loosers) very wealthy and famous, Apprentice makes them slightly well know for 3 months and makes the winner work 50 hrs a week for £60k!
Not sure which i would rather win!

Well Syed got fired this week. I was sure Badger was going after her "I told him it was too much champagne but went ahead and bought it anyway" spiel. Syed lost it with his dishonesty about the raffle tickets issue.
What a crap idea that fun day was.
Loving the US series at the moment. Donald Trump seems pretty down to earth. He doesnt act the hardman all the time like AMS but still shows who is boss and doesnt take any sh*t. Challenges are a lot more interesting as well as the rewards. Glad Andrea got fired this week as her voice just grates on me.

Anyway he's gone now so good riddance. I suspect Badger might win now, but as others have suggested I don't think we have seen her shine as a project manager. Sales? Yes. Management? TBC. From memory the times when she has been in control she has been quite authoritarian and got people's backs up.

Syed was exactly what AS said he didn't like, yet the guy actually said he liked him ! An A8selicker, schmoozer and b8llsh8tter.
Thank goodness he's gone. I was very chuffed to see how he struggled when he had to do that live announcement on the ship. He was bricking it.

Think SAS wanted to get rid of Badger, but Margaret and Nick persuaded him otherwise. Like him or hate him, at least he listens to other people's opinions before issuing the immortal words.
Ansell is still my tip, just like Tim last year, goes about all the tasks in the right way, no song and dance, just results.

I think that Syed would have stayed this week, but he LIED ! and that what the final straw for SAS
He was asked a direct question by SAS, SAS knew more than he let on and then let Syed hang himself. Ruth as a sales person is very good when its going her way but as a manger can really P1ss the workforce off. Too hormonal for me
-Paul to win -

yep....never going to beat ruth (although even SAS would have rather kept him if it wasnt for the shows integrity)
all the talk of him being a bull****ter.....do you not think SAS cut a few corners and stood on some toes getting to where he is?
Ship fun day was a ****e idea but the big raffle thing was very badly edited - syed NEVER said he was going to leave the tickets out, it was only ever implied by Ruth when asked by the producers what she thought he might do.
T
ps- ruth and paul are obvious finalists with paul a better all rounder - but i feel a twist coming on

Thought Syed was on top form in the boardroom this time - quite calm, less BS & even and using The Badgers lines against her 'why you getting flustered?', 'keep it professional'. 'What's with the rosy cheeks chunky' [or similar] really made her radiant! She then rather lost the plot there in my opinion which swung it towards Syed for me on a personality level.
