It was very exciting,i thought the wrong person won aswell but im sure Yasmin will do just as well.I thought the series as a whole had some very funny and skillful tasks

For me the right person won I really liked Yasmina. Kate was good, but I think she hid her personality, and agreed when Sir Alan's associates called her robotic.

loved it! kate should of won tho

One of te best series for me!

I got it wrong, i thought kate was going to win....he's obviously looking for someone who would always bear cost in mind at all times, quality is not such a priority/in this economic climes. Was his amstrad cheap?

Wow! though didn't yasmina brush up well! she's looks like a different woman after winning.

But she was focused and listening to his instructions, not flashing her teeth at him at the slightest encouragement.

Surpised, but pleased Kate did not win. Don`t like perfect/plastic people.

Think the right person won
Did like Lorraine and James too though

I want chocolates that taste good, as opposed to shite, but I wouldn't pay £13 for them.

I don't think Kate was plastic at all.

LOVED Margaret's reaction to Ruby's comment about Nick licking the chocolate!

Loved the final and You're Hired

I didn't like either of the finalists, but I was very relieved that Kate didn't win.

Utter bollocks.

Yes, I would have named the chocolates thus.

Phils dancing was the best

I always thought Kate would win and wasn't bothered who did but at the end i think i was glad she came 2nd

i decided i don't like the way she stretches the worddddddddddds when she speakkkks and even on the show after she answers every question like shes in an interview

I thought this year's final was much better than last year's.

I wanted Kate to win but I thought they were both worthy finalists. I enjoyed the programme too - so much in fact, that I didn't watch BB till it was over. That has never happened before!

Not surprised. I'd prefer watching 2 intelligent people striving and doing their very best compared with 16 idiots assuming they'll continue and stabbing each other in the back.

Entertaining though, the Apprentice. Strawberry and Basil choccy anyone? Better than Cheese and Liver anyday!

I was so sure that Kate would win and was like when she didn't.

I think he chose the right candidate though

Glad Yasmina one,I liked her better than Kate.
Both are on TV now on "This Morning"

I wanted Kate to win and had she have priced the chocs in a more acceptable way I think she may have.

i liked yasmina and thought she won fair and square

i'm so glad Yasmina won, she'd been my favourite for some time.

Couldn't stand Kate from the moment she said she didn't like working with women on her CV...I mean what sort of fool would put that down, didn't it cross her mind for one second that she might be interviewed by or working with women??

Although very capable that would have lost her any job with me.

the right girl won, definately

Kate seemed quite ruthless, especially where Philip was concerned. She admitted that she would've walked all over him to get the job - said it when he was sitting there He just looked like a puppy dog

that IMO was the deciding factor, also I would like someone who knew accounts were public docs and the difference between gross and Nett turnover

I agree with all you say! I was so pleased Yasmina won. I also think there was something very telling about Kate when she said she wanted to have 'x amount of people beneath her' Her whole attitude smacked to me of someone who thinks people they manage really are 'beneath' her.

I thought Yasmina stood out throughout the series. She projected herself as someone who was pure business to the extent that she ensured that her appearance, as shown by how different she looked last night, didn't get in the way of her how her ability was perceived

Exactly what I thought too D2..

Kate was a little too robotic

You would if I was sharing them with you

Loved Yasmina. So glad she won. Definitely the right person won.

Those two women really excelled in that chocolate task. Their presentations were flawless and excellent. What nerves they must have, I don't think I could survive all that pressure.

In the end it was really difficult to choose between two excellent candidates.

If I was in Sir A's shoes I would have chosen both of them as Apprentices. There is no way I would leave an excellent candidate like Kate go to another company.

I think they both had some excellent qualities, but I feel that Yasmina just edged ahead of Kate, for me.

Did none of them realise that choc d'amour means shock of love in French?

Better then Intimate though. Was it Kate who came up with that name. I could imagine all the sniggering if she had to present Intimate chocolates She can thank Debra for saving her blushes

The Apprentice Final - What Did You Think?

I haven`t watched it at all, but saw the last couple of minutes last night.
O thought she had unhealthy, lanky hair.

I think Kate's fatal flaw was her lack of knowledge of costs and profit margin.

Yasmina knew exactly what each chocolate cost, hideous as those flavours sounded lol. Kate shown all the way through but I was let down when her response was "I'm sure we have a good profit margin" instead of product cost is X amount like Yasmina.

Staying in business IS all about the money.

Before Kate's lot even mentioned it, I said their effort looked like a box of maxi-pads. It still did, even with the name change.

And WHY is Phil still going on about Pantsman? And why's Ben still trying to skew every project to a sex angle? I thought he reckoned making money was better
