I agree Ben deserved to go (because he's an arrogant twat), however I think this week Debra should have gone if only because the rocking horse was 99% her idea. That's not even mentioning the fact she's a complete, unmitigated bitch.

I think Kate or Howard should win. Lorraine is nasty and James strikes me as slimy, if not extremely cringe-worthy. I hope Debra goes next week.

Maybe if they were armed...

This video made me laugh. All of it is genuine footage from the Apprentice.

Peter.

Alan Sugar, tosser.

Who the hell does he think he is? So what, he might be a sir, but that gives him no right to talk to the apprentices the way he does.

I think I'd end up causing an international incedent if I went on...

I've just caught up with The Apprentice after being on my hols and I have to say- Howard, what a surprise and Kate- gone down in my estimation. I think that she was useless on the selling. Although the craft kits didn't give her much to go on, she was no better during the practice with the sat-nav. I know what Lorraine was trying to say (to Kate) and to me it was fair comment but Kate got a real cob-on and at that point I started to want her to go.

I am surprised that Ben went over Debra, but I still think that she won't be the "one".

Out of the five that are left, I think that James might surprise us yet, but Lorraine has strong support from Nick and Margaret. I think that Kate and Debra will go and if I had to put a bet on, my money would now be on Yasmina. But the big interview stage is Wednesday night and that's where most of the truth finally comes out.

Well, no major surprises there, apart from the fact that Sir Alan nearly chose Debra. Despite the attitude that we saw on TV, it was clear from her highlights on You're Fired, that she was actually quite popular with the rest of the candidates. I know one or two people who are fine, once you get past their gobby nature and I see Debra as one of those, although she was never one of my favourites on the show.

It was interesting that three candidates who many would have said would be among the first to go actually made it to the last five and Sir Alan found it extremely difficult to get rid of two of them and seemed to get rid of James more on the basis that he wouldn't fit in to Sir Alan's business structure, rather than the fact that he didn't like him/think that he was worthy.

Bally, please can you change your avatar!

It's too big! It's almost 2MB and whenever I try to scroll and your avatar is there it hangs my PC for a couple of seconds!

Please find a smaller version of it!

What's in your PC?

My PC has no issue loading it and it's a £400 budget laptop from over a year ago.

It slows down my work pc, it's not reasonable to have that kindof of bandwidth used and it does slow down my browser.

Funny video PG, the woman at the end looked like a frog



It slows my Sun Ray down at work and makes it jittery.

Do you use Evil-Empire Explorer by any chance?

Of the two left, my money is on the restaurant girl.

Yasmina will win if she can prove her own business isn't going be an issue I think. Although the final task brings back all the other contestants so you could get the muppets to screw it all up for you.

Slowed down my 50mb connection at work and my 8mb at home on ie and also on opera 9 and 10 beta unless I turn turbo on which I shouldnt have to on an 8mb onnection

I'd put other things on her too

.... like a bet for her to win
