    Very difficult, if you are a recruitment consultant as that's the only job you could possibly get being such a thicky, twatty obnoxious barrow boy...

    Very difficult for a reverse Veloceraptor.

    He probably just spells words the way he pronounces them.

    His choice

    Slightly disagree with the Eliquant rationale here.
    He's put both Lee and Clare together as he would ideally like to choose between the two. Both similar street-fighters and bruisers - also educated in the 'University of Life', unlike somewhat posh Alex and (H)elena who may not fit his junkyard. Srallan hates well-spoken and educated people, that's a fact

    Also I saw how he paired up the 2 teams and each team has got a clear stronger candidate / favourite of Sir Alan so he doesn't lose too much when he picks the 2 out of the winning team.


    I reckon:

    Alex (Favourite) / Helene Vs Lee / Claire (favourite)

    All bets are on !

    Having seen some of the earlier series of that (appalling) show, it seems that this is the only strategy any of them have - which is why AMS fulfills his contractual obligations by putting the "winners" in charge of a doomed-to-fail project within Amstrad where he can get rid of them after a year and write them off as a tax loss.
    LOL I fully agree with you, it should be named 'The One Year Apprentice That Then Jumps Ship", many previous winners just don't last at Alan Sugars.

    They must get sick of it ... 17 hour days and weekends and taxed beyond belief, that 100K musn't seem worth it.
