Gonna be an exciting final, I think Helen is the best fit with Sugar though, but bet Tom gets somewhere with his inventions off the back of this. Jim will become a worldwide bullshit guru and Susan will start her own newspaper empire when she takes advantage of a gap in the market.

Now I know what it's like to win a medal in the special olympics.
Interesting task, but so unreal it's not true. 48hrs to open a fast food joint from scratch, and they've been given a premises and location only millionaires already would be able to afford! They lack a sense of reality.
The pie concept was the clear winner, had a strong id. and they were quick. The other team just didn't get the fast aspect. Mexican food's a bit advanced for beginners also, not a good one to pick. It did look messy.
Most are saying Helen, but she seems quite badly lacking in creativity for a business venture, to me. I don't see her as entrepreneur, much more his usual type of manager/seller, she's another one in the wrong series. Tom would be my choice, definitely the safest bet for a business partnership.

I'm really surprised by your tenacity over this. Natasha was a weak contestant but one of the most likeable and least bitchy. Jim in fact is the biggest bitch in the show.
I'm worried that you identify with Susie for some reason. Worried because I think of you as a thoughtful and interesting person and she is something of a slow-brained gob on a stick.
Lets face it they are all crap! I could have done better, but not a shaggable 20 yr old.
As an attractive older lady, well BURN OFF! all contestants.
Yes, it is 'Apprentice' so ageist, grrr 
I bet the pies actually made a loss and they just had the sense to bullshit the figures.
Natasha lost because she should have been leader what with her degree and all.
Well that and she wasn't entertaining enough,
It's still Tom or Susan for me.
Jim is a bullshiter as Sugar says he has forgotten more about that than Jim ever knew. He don't need him.
Helen is dull with no experiance of setting up their own company. Her big successes on the show are getting big orders - again Sugar doesn't need that skill.
So it comes down to Tom or Susan.
I actually think Susan has been badly shown in this. Ifyou saw the final five program the other night her stock would have increased dramatically. He likes that sort of person.
So for me it could now go either way.
I'm guessing by the prewiew clips for next week that the comments about BS pertain to that Jim. ? Someone has been enhancing their CV with porlkies then. I thought they would have learned their lesson by now. That Suzy does have an bit of unbelievability about her though, to me, she only 21 and had her own successful business! Which she bangs on about. We might find out it was actually her dad's or something.
And if Tom is in the final with two women, then, I think because the show is due a rare female winner, he will miss out. It won't help Sugar's image if two females make the final and neither win. In that case I'll say Suzy to win. Or Helen.
I think he made a mistake letting Melody go. She had a good skill set easily transferable to setting up a business. She's far superior to Helen and Jim.
Easily. And he could have given her one in the boardroom, stockroom, etc. I'd pay money for that privilege! Erm...yes, I was surprised to her go.

Hee, no I don't like Susie either, she's a whiner and a bit of a victim.
I'm glad Natasha went, I find her epically unlikable and just useless.
Tom to win!
