apprentice candidates pricing

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

?

its a tough one, I personally pur Jordan as second favourite behind neil

Something like

Neil 2.8
Luisa 3.2
Leah 5.5
Jordan 6
Fran 100

Francesca 3/1
Jordan 4/1
Neil 4/1
Luisa 6/1
Leah 6/1

more like...

Neil WHO CARES!!
Luisa WHO CARES!!
Leah WHO CARES!!
Jordan WHO CARES!!
Fran WHO CARS!!

Jordan 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.

Leah 1.7
Luisa 2.2
Neil 4.2.
Jordan 20
Fran 100

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'd have Luisa way shorter like 1/3

Luisa 1/3 Leah 5/2 Neil 8/1 Jordan 50s Fran 66s

I'd go

Neil 2.5
Luisa 2.7
Leah 5.5
Fran 5.5
Jordan 50

And a money back special if Jordan wins

It's become a glorified version of Dragons Den.

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.

Name	BF Odds
Neil Clough	2.5
Francesca MacDuff-Varley	3
Leah Totton	6
Jordan Poulton	10
Luisa Zissman	51

il take some of those 50s !!

Name	Formline
Neil Clough	Nice guy, bit over confident
Francesca MacDuff-Varley	Bottle blonde 1, likeable sort
Leah Totton	Bottle blonde 2, annoying Northern Irish accent
Jordan Poulton	Shorty, blew it with Sugar 2 weeks ago
Luisa Zissman	Dreadful winer, really annoying

lol Luisa is awful and I dont like her..but i still think she'll win

and as far as annoying goes..her voice is the worst

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

oi oi

Luisa and the ferry singer to be final two

The outsider sneaks in the final

Leah Totton	1.4
Jordan Poulton	3.1

oops, copied the wrong name

Leah Totton	1.4
Luisa Zissman	2.1

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

ferry singer..whosat? lol

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

No way

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

Think there is other elements you all failed to take into account....  research is key

yea i think WhiteHat is right my 5/6 too big i think Leah now Luisa's too much hard work

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 ....

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

dodgy or moral dont come into it much with shrewd businessmen they have very few moals imo

yea i agree kelly - Luisa's a horrible sleazy chav - single mum / involved with prostitutes/pimps/sex parties - hard work..very stubborn and arrogant 0 shes so arrogant youd think she wasrunning a FTSE100 company -- she's running 3 businesses which may aswell be 1..cake shop..baking accessories shop and cupcakes or something..3 businesses with small turnover and profit..its like saying sainsburys alcohol..Sainsburys electronics..sainsbuys food as 3 diff businesses...hers are small businesses that she oversells

Leah = educated and probably LESS hard work than Luisa

Leah has class..Luisa = desperate for attention http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2361771/The-Apprentice-finalist...

leah covers up ..luisa of course has to bare all to get attention and photos http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2361771/The-Apprentice -finalists-Luisa-Zissman-Leah-Totton-soak-sun-enjoy-beach-holiday-together.h...

I think your completely right, the new investment format is broken, as how did they did in the previous 10 weeks is almost irrelevant as long as they have a good business plan. Dont get me wrong i like leah, but neil was the best overall candidate.
