Suprisingly lacking in real talent this year, I suppose I'd poke that Melody at a push and Zoe is not bad, but really not up to the standard required.

You'd have to find a way of getting Melody to shut the hell up first - her voice would make it impossible to be near her for longer than, ooh, 10 seconds.

Suddenly it all makes sense. She wasn't trained by the Dalai Lama as reported, but our very own Daley Lama  Edna is mental and irish Jim has the power of Jedi Mind control..."I'm taking Jim into the Boardroom" "That would be a foolish decision" "Thinking about it, that would be a foolish decision" Unbelievable. |

After two episodes, unless Awaggers can tell me different, Jim is the obvious winner.
I've no idea whether they are editing him good for a fall or editing him good for a final winner but for me, if I was going to give £250K to one of those, it's him all the way. AT THIS STAGE.
He's genuinely good so far, in a show where every fault is highlighted to the extreme, the only one they have so far is that he announced that he was going to mediate and then did so. That was week one when they all were strangers so I don't see that as bad.
I do hope he falls on his arse though, it's the ultimate dichotomy, if you're that good, why are you here in the first place.
I've tried persuading the missus that Leon looks a bit like Orlando Bloom, I'm actually trying to pimp one of the male candidates seeing as the lasses are not up to scratch this year.
p.s. totally agree GT. I'd find a way of shutting her up.

That was just anout the funniest thing on the show, apart from the little bit if bad app punnery in the back of the car... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00gw78k :  : Leon should've got sacked for being such a pussy.... |

I think Leon didn't really know what to do in choosing for the Boardroom because he couldn't believe that the team had lost when everyone had worked well. Perfectly decent novelty app flawed by being too culturally specific - the silly noises app probably got downloaded by a load of Japanese schoolchildren through no effort of the team.
Leon probably chose Jim first because he'd demonstrated high ability in the "kicking Alex for having contributed nothing" stakes and thought it would be helpful to have someone else doing that with him.
Disagree with daley on the "if you're that good why are you here" point - certainly correct for previous series where any of the under 30s other than the single mums and ones who'd left school at 16 ought to have been in better jobs than the one on offer already. In this series the prize is akin to getting a big investment in Dragons Den without having to spend years independently building up a new business idea.
That said, I'm not quite sure what the prize will really consist of - it is phrased as £250k of investment and "value". Half of that isn't to the benefit of the winner as Sugar is to take a 50% stake in the business. I wonder on what basis Sugar's "value" is to be valued. Arguably merely winning the series could be valued at a marketing value to the winner in excess of £250k. That would be hilarious - series ends with Sugar saying "great, now go and start up a business on your own and give me half of it, you've had my £250k worth already by spending 12 weeks in the Apprentice house, getting 15 hours of tv coverage of your personal abilities and access to all my business contacts who were involved in making the programme and setting the tasks.

He should have picked the micky mouser for his constant moaning and self-pity - he'll whine himself out of the process before too long. I would have said the geeky one with the bins (Tom?) but I reckon he's a bit of a dark horse who could come out fighting like a tiger whose balls have been flicked with a rubber band.

I concur that Tom is a dark horse.
Jim I liked until he turned boardroom bully/Jedi mind artist.
And as for Edna. I'm ballsy, but she takes it to the extreme.

i've no idea what their names are yet but the denbo household instantly thought the latest pm was like a posher version of orlando bloom, the sales muppet who forgot how to speak whilst pitching is zlatan ibrahimovic, the chap who was booted out was danny north formerly of grimbsy fame and the inventor is michael sheen who hasn't eaten for 3 months

Hurrah on the Orlando Bloom minkage, even if you are me and I am thee.
Re: The prize, will Alan Sugar decide purely on the individual or will he be swayed by what business the potential winners are in to? Methinks the latter.
