      Just a reminder that it's the final tonight from 21:00 - 23:00.

      The finalists:

      Helen
      Jim
      Susan
      Tom

      Slightly more difficult to predict the outcome this year as its just as much about the candidates business plan as it is about them.

      Playing the guessing game as to who will be the final two who Lord Sugar has to pick from, I'd have initially said Helen and Tom but I can imagine Tom's business plan being all over the place so am going to go with Helen and Jim even though I don't think Jim is the kind of person Lord Sugar would want to partner with.

      Edit: With Helen to win of course.

      Who do you think will be the final two and who do you think Lord Sugar will pick as the winner?

        Is there not a winner tonight then?
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          I thought it was the final.

          I like Tom and Helen. Jim's OK. Soppy Susan just gets on my nerves. So it'll probably be her who wins.

            Apologies, yes it is the final but I'm sure they will try and ramp up the tension by having it go down to two candidates before Lord Sugar picks his winner.

            Edited my OP to say that I think Helen will win.

              I'll take a stab at them being fired in this order:

              Jim - first to go despite his good sales ability and chat, he is a mediocre decision maker
              Susan - fast learner but still too naive
              Helen - methodical and mostly competent, but lack of something on the proactive business front

              leaving... Tom as the winner. Strange as that may sound.

                Nah. Helen and Jim left last I reckon, with H to win. I hope. In reality, Teddy Ruxpin will pick a nobber.
                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                  Jim is a liar and a bad one.

                    I really dislike him actually.

                      He's too much of a bulltuliper. Margaret is onto him.
