ben is out! woohoo
now i want deborah to go next

I liked Ben, he was such a fool. Shame he's out, but oh well.

Agreed, Matty, Debra's a goat.

Well, my predictions aren't doing disgracefully badly.

The guests on 'The Apprentice: You're Fired' seemed to think it'll be a Debra/Yasmina final.

I'm looking forward to the interviews next week as you always get some surprises at that stage, with someone who'd looked strong coming in for unexpected criticism, and someone who'd looked weak getting unexpected praise.

The hardest part (At least that is what I think) of the show is going to be on tomorrow, the semi-final where the remaining contestants are going to be interviewed.

Great show last night....I wanted to punch the interviewers don't know how they kept their cool but well done to them.
Don't mind who wins now as they are both good. Just glad Deb is out,must be a nightmare working with her.

I did think that the interviewers were being negative especially the male ones. The female one was more or less being truthful (she was both positive and negative). Personally I would want interviewers to be positive most of the time and only be a bit negative if it's needed, for example when they have worries about the person they are interviewing. There is a big difference between being serious and negative.
I did think that James was going out because he is too nice although if I had the choice I would want him to have stayed. I liked when he mentioned Sir Alan being like Willy Wonker even though he isn't (it was only a joke).
I do like both the finalists and no more you're fired from Sir Alan, the magic words will be you're hired.

YASMINA

Tonight will be the last time we'll see Margaret...

Its a shame she is going but at least its for a good reason and not because she had a row with Alan Sugar or the production team. I heard something like that happened for Donald Trumps female assistant in the US version.

I thought Kate delivered the best pitch and the all round performance so maybe that was a reason for her to win. Whilst she was pretty, Yasmina has more passion which she has evidence for. A restaurant at 27 is probably more than what Kate has. Although Kate looked attractive and she was really bubbly in the 'You're Fired' show, she wasn't all that in the competition. Kate didn't seem as keen to learn about other areas outside 'Sales' compared to Yasmina.

I wanted Yasmina to win out of the final 2, and Debra to win out of the final 3. She may have been gobby at some points but that's just her being strong minded. Shame Margaret is leaving, she's the back bone of the show!

I was hoping for a montage at the end because we didn't see much of that lady who looked like a sad panda, that man with a beard, Paula, the sandwich shop owner and Kim really. It seemed to mainly focus around Kate & Philip.

I thought both of the chocolates were done very well, however in the future I can't see me and my girlfriend fighting over the last layer. It would be more like "You have that posh crap I'm going to get the Dairy Milk out of the fridge"

Well done Yasmina Looks like it'll be a good one next year as Sir Alan wants people who have been made redundant to apply....good on him.Sir Alan for Prime Minister.

Hi Lindy Lou, that does sound a grand idea. I wasn't able to see the show but will watch it on catch up soon. Couldn't avoid the papers and the result. Yasmina looked stunning in her white dress on the covers of several papers. I feel sure that Kate won't rest on her laurels and will soon be making big bucks somewhere, let's just hope she stays away from Philip as I don't think he was a good influence on her. I wouldn't be surprised if Alan Sugar wouldn't have minded hiring them both!

Woo, Yasmina! I liked her since week 2. I'm glad she won, she was the better candidate. Not that I didn't like Kate though... they were both worthy but Yasmina seemed better.

I'll miss Margaret and her funny face expressions... No one can replace her

Bring on next year's Apprentice!

About a month ago when news broke out over Kate and Philip's love for each other I heard about Philip being prepared to move closer to Kate and this was in the North Midlands I think. From there I had a funny feeling that Kate wouldn't win but didn't say anything about it until now because I didn't want to spoil it. I once kept a deal or no deal game secret for 3 months then once it had happened then I spoke about it.
I honestly thought that Yasmina was the best person because she was prepared to take risks as well as having the other business skills and he could prove it (when she re-morgaged her mum's house but having to pay it back later).
I am not sure whether Kate's claims that she was not influenced by Philip were true or not but it's almost certain that is distracted Philip.
I did think that Kate was a great person and I am sure she will do well.

Hope that next year's will be even better, I do hope there are funny people as well as really serious ones.

If the review at work doesnt work out then maybe I will take Sir Alan up on that

I wanted Kate to win. In my opinion, the best contestant always comes second – I think Kate was better than Yasmina, Claire was better than Lee, Kristina was better than Simon, and Ruth Badger was better than Michelle. (I didn’t watch it the first year.)

But there is an element of Sir Alan wanting someone with raw talent that he can mould rather than the finished article – he certainly always says that he’s “not worried” about the second-placed candidate because he thinks they’ll do just fine without him.
