If you were a bookie, how would you price the remaining apprentice candidates to win?

I know it is all pre recorded so it would not be possible. But would be interesting to see if there is general agreement.

Not a clue, but my gut feel is as follows :

Luisa - 2.0
Neil - 4.0
Leah - 6.0
Francesca - 12.0
Jordan - 26.0

Jordan LaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh not got a chance in hell, have you not seen the exchanges between him and Lord Sugar. That being said of all the business ideas that have been mentioned by the candidates so far this year his has a lot of potential and is probably the most realistic to invest £250K in to get a good return - its just is it really his idea.

On a slightly seperate note I wonder if the Radio Times will put the finalists on the front cover of the Radio Times before showing the penultimate episode - they somehow managed this a few years ago.

Oh I forgot to say the odds are skewed anyway because Sugar gets to see their business proposals before they start, so he already has his mind made up on which business proposal is going to make the most money and which will be a viable business therefore it doesnt matter how they perform in the series because he can always find a way to keep in the ones with the right business idea

I would be laying Luisa full bank if it were on here and not just in the betting terms

Eeternaloptimist is right.  Before, you could pretty much see all the form, now it's all about the business plan (which you haven't seen, but surely Lord Sugar has).  A risky move pricing this up, but in any format Luisa has no chance.

Neil or Leah.

I think the two blondes will make the final & favour Leah's business plan. Neil's business plan is no good.

Jordan got destroyed. How can someone with no business other than a "gentleman's agreement" get on the show, never mind make the final. Probably to make good tv, they must have known

What do you mean the outsider gets to the final?  Outsider for everyone on this thread and I would have made a killing if the market was up.  As I said and made a clear favourite before tonights episode and nothing has changed

Changed my mind after last night, can just see LS saying to Luisa 'I don't have to worry about your future, you will be alright'

Leah - 1.5
Luisa - 3

By:

They are both hard work! and he doesn't have to worry about Leah's future as she's a doctor.

Besides it's more like Dragon's Den at this stage.  Virtually all about the business plan and whether LS thinks he can make money from it, or at least not lose money from it.  With Leah it appears she is almost starting from scratch, whereas it appears Luisa is partially up and running.  If he doesn't like either much, he has to go with Luisa I think.

Luisa 1/2 I'd say. Has business up and running and if she is making a £1.5m turnover online it's not hard to fathom how her new business with the doors LS can open up would easily make a return on his £0.25m investment. Furthermore I really can't see LS wanting to put his name into the cosmetic surgery market, all bet it natural implants/fillers etc. He knows consumer markets inside out and Luisa represents the safe and right bet, all be it a bit of a punt. Either way it's what he will want to put his name to moreover Leahs business imho.

If it had been the old format of the Apprentice then you'd have to think it'd have been Neil vs Jordan in the final with Neil coming out on top.

sugar turned down a dodgy looking wine investment candidate in a final, and imagine he will be worried about a cosmetic clinic for similar reasons

luisa's plan is flawed, rubbish even, but she has identified a gap in the market, although lord s advertising the gap on bbc is hardly shrewd before he has taken advantage of it ....
By:

When: 12 Jul 13 15:53
You are all saying Luisa will be chosen because she already has a business and he wont touch cosmetics because of it is dodgy or the moral part.  He is a business man and there is more of a markup in cosmetics than her in her bakery ingredients delivery business. 

He will go where the money is and his only concern about Leah was the moral element and he asked her straight would you refuse people, she said yes.  She is a doctor and will not recommend people for the money her licence is more important. Now talking of morals and not wanting to be assocaited with tarnished brands and morals.....  have a look at these......  and this is why Leah has been favourit since the final 5 as I pointed out
