Good interviews n' all. Big fish, little fish, no fish, goodbye and f**k off, fish Stella should win it IMO. Smooth prince of academia may just fly to glory, although he looks as if he has just got out of bed. He can be a model for CK1 or Head&Shoulders for sure.

No, one's an investment banker and one was a graduate trainee in an investment bank - but your point is still sound

Pretty much. This made Lord Vader realise what a to$$er the boy was and he sacked him because Vader realised he'd been played by the young Skyw@nker

I think when he called him a $hit he finally realised the game was up

I thought Stella worked for an investment bank - not actually making money management decisions. I thought she was like a Uber PA.


Baggs was on Breakfast the morning. Seems someone has had a word - he almost appeared to understand humility I also think they played up the issue of licenses to make the program more exciting. The issue with Stuart would be if something was going wrong he'd try and hide it rather than go to the boss cap in hand and get it fixed ASAP.

Shame the dumped Jamie on the basis he blames everyone else, he seemed the most down to earth. Chris although very good does seem to hide behind his IQ.

It would have been a Liz / Stella final if Baggs hadn't blagged it last week. You could tell Sugar was annoyed that he got duped by the ponies story.

Stuarts interview was comical. Viglen chap tells him he knows technology and I know what an ISP is, Internet Service Protocol. Shame baggs didnt pull him up on that but theyd have cut it out.

That whole line on his telecoms licence was bollocks. Since when do you have to offer multiple telecoms services to call yourself a telecoms company?

I think Chris will win but makes me laugh they keep saying he can make decisions on the spot after the Tours task. To me it looked like he didnt really know what he was agreeing with the Information Centre on commission for selling their tour tickets. Total fluke they won yet Sugars cronies keep bringing it up.

Stella is a dog and that pointy nose makes her just look smug all the time.

In all honesty, Alan Sugar is not exactly a TajMahal, nor does he have a fashion model nose, but he is a very successful business person.

The main thing sugar gave him stick on last week was backing up his statement about making his own way and not getting a hand from mummy & daddy. Nothing I saw in the interviews contradicted that so I dont understand why Sugar got so upset. All because of this telecoms licence incident that his expert interviewer harped on about. Looking at Stuarts website I guess its the fact he offers telecoms services like leased lines but seems he may doesnt have the licence to sell that (going on what was discussed on the show).

I wasnt comparing the two. Just my own personal reasons for not wanting Stella to win

I have funnily enough, started to quie like Stuart, when humbled a little he seems at his best and against all the odds, seems to be capable of self-depracation and might not be the collassal ****** he came across as at first.


I think watching himself must have made him squirm and was possibly the best thing to quell
his arrogance.

If I was interviewing for a business leader - Chris would not feature on my list.

They have had some good candidates in the past (and on this series) but I don't see 20% Chris being any good.

Right person won in my mind ......
But thought she possibly lost it in the board room, when she put that annoying moaning voice on as a plea to why LS should pick her ....

Typical Woman ..........

We thought the same. Once she started moaning we thought she'd just talked herself out of a job!
At least in the studio we got to see Liz again, looking very good.
Hopefully see her in FHM/Nuts soon
