Karen to go.
 
I have grown a liking for Catherine. She gets on the wrong side of a lot of poeple but she fights for her place and gets the job done. I reckon her and Tom in the final 2.

David should have gone.

He's all talk and no action. Never listens to anyone.

I loved his "talking is my walking" line to John Mitchell. That tipped the balance for me.

This, and I'm betting he got an A+
 
I'm told the exam has a very tiring practical component.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

You're not wrong there Hampster - a lot of people dislike her because of her bluntness, without actually realising that she and Tom are so much more competent than any other candidate who's been (or still is) on the show that it's not even funny.

David is a star in the boardroom....he was so getting fired until he turned it up yesterday.

Final appears to be him versus Thomas then.

It sucks knowing he won, but it's one of those things... like a big red button that says 'Don't Push', you just have to and I had to look when that waiver went out about who won on this thread, then Dave made an appearance on the forum saying he possibly didn't and that Terry puts up all the contestants in his hotel when they're in town...
 
But all this evidence is pretty damming that Dave does in-fact win huh...

Please say it ain't so!
 
I just watched a replay of last night ... Tom and Catherine so much more effective at tasks,  as already pointed out above. Dave can talk up a storm but is he the man Terry needs at his side? Tom's people skills are way above any of the others.

Oh I'm not saying I want him to, but just a few hints pointing in that direction.
A few too many to ignore...
I want Thomas to win personally.

Thomas seems like too nice a guy - I think he would get ripped apart working for Terry.

Yeah agree, and I think it's fine that he is doing it for his family and all, I think he gets far too emotional about it most episodes.

What are you all on about? Tom is ideal guy to work for Terry. Family is one thing and a great source of strength, but he does the business well and that is what Terry wants. A nice guy who can do all that with a great balance is worth their weight in gold.

A number of apprentice winners in the US version of the show had the same family strength background, but it never took them away of what needed to be done. In fact it is probably highly regard as an important selection criteria in the final for Trump.

You got to be silly to think that being nice and having family grounding is an issue in business unless it clashes head on. It's a side issue not a problem at all.

You should shoot down to the TAB, and chuck a fiver on Rovers to beat the Gooners while your there.
