Four finalists (from left to right): Lee McQueen, Claire Young, Alex Wotherspoon and Helen Speight.
If you recall last year, I typed up a post on the legendary television program, The Apprentice. Well the series was on again this year, and tonight the final will be aired at 9pm on BBC 1! This year, the favourites to win are Lee McQueen (”There’s the Shreddies. Now THAT’s what I’m talkin’ about!”) and Claire Young (who will probably load up rounds and rounds of bull in to her AK47!). However, who knows? Sir Alan has been making some very funny decisions lately.
I mean-just look at his adorable face; You just have to love him!
Personally, my favourite to win before he got fired was Raef Bjayou. His dapper dress sense, charming manners, Southern accent and good looks just makes him a dream come true! I am disappointed that Sir Alan fired him-he just made a couple of mistakes, in comparison to Michael Sophocles-the Apprentice’s resident sleaze bag! Thankfully, most of the apprentices are going to be back on the box to help the finalist teams. Let’s hope plenty of air time goes to Raef Bjayou!
To rev yourself up for the final, why not try The Guardian’s “Which Apprentice finalist are you?” quiz. Unfortunately, I got HELENE-my least favourite! If only I’d filled out all the pterodactyl answers-at least I’d have gotten a decent answer.
“Ah werk in a corpora’e enviro’ment and ‘ave lawdes and lawdes o’ men aroun’ me.” Lovely, dear, lovely.
What a b****. Not even a good, charismatic, funny one either, like our beloved Katie Hopkins.
Maybe you’d prefer to listen to the theme tunes. Dru Masters, who make and compile most of the music for the series, have kindly uploaded almost the entire series’ music to Last.fm.
So make sure you catch this on television tonight with a bowl of popcorn, or even better, invite your friends round and dress up in business suits while eating caviare and champagne for an Apprentice party!

And the winner is…
LEE MCQUEEN! While we wanted SurAlan to give us a surprise and suddenly say, “Raef, get back in here. You’re my new Apprentice; this lot are a load of tossers!” or be inspired to crown Raef’s amazing hair and eyebrows as the next Apprentice, we weren’t disappointed with his choice in the end! Let’s all give a huge congratulations to Mr. McQueen. It was a close call between the brilliant Claire Young and equally well-footed Lee McQueen, but Sir Alan made his decision and chose the loveable pterodactyl.
It’s all come to a close now for another year. Whatever will we do on a Wednesday evening now!? O well! Let’s sit tight for next year’s round…
Hmmm. I’m Alex. I wanted to be Claire, boo it!
But on the plus side, I’m with you – bring on Raef tonight – the man is a legend!
