In 'real life' I presume The Apprentice is finished. If so, how do they all keep the winner such a secret ?? There must be so many people involved, both in the series as well as families, etc. I wish Claire's team had lost, by the way, I couldn't believe they won last night.

That was outrageous, I couldn't believe her team won, I was even more shocked that Sir Alan didn't sack the Cruela- De Ville lookalike
Hi smurfchops , ( like your username btw ) , I physically sunk in my chair when Claires team secured that large order and put them ahead in the takings !
Hi both

Agree - I was saying to myself PLEASE don't let that Claire's team win! I am hooked on the programme, I'm always working Wed. night and I rush in to watch it. I do like Sir Alan!I
I do like Sir Alan but in this one he did sack the wrong person. He should pay more attention and listen to what the teams are saying about each other. Jen should of went not Lucinda, i think he made a BIG mistake!
I agree Lisa, I think Jen should have gone but he's shrewd, I wonder if her unpopularity might prove her downfall and he knows she will have a mega come-uppance in the future !
smurfchops I agree - HOW does no-one spill the beans?
It finished several months ago! Lucinda was working for the same company that my brother works for and apparently they have to sign an agreement not to reveal who the winner is!

But surely when the programme finishes, and the winner works for Sir Alan and the rest find a new job, it will leak out through other people !?
Yeah smurfchops I tend to agree with you!
I agree, there must be an awful lot of people who know who the winner is who haven't signed an agreement such as family and work colleagues. As to who is going to win? Frankly, I don't think I'd employ any of them with the possible exception of the ex-solier who was fired last week. Every week, they commit fundamental blunders eg. making appointments with people who already make ice-cream, making exclusivity deals, losing customers' clothes, not pricing lobsters properly and that week with the laundry when the girls didn't have the slightest idea of how to price the jobs. �5 per pillow case!!! Look, you've got me started now. If they really are the best young business brains this country has to offer, then Gawd help us all.
Good question smurf, somebody out there must know something, but how would you know they were telling the truth anyway. If enough people answered with a different winner, somebody would get it right (a bit like Derren Brown foreseeing the winners of consecutive races on TV recently - we only got to see the winning combination). I believe The Apprentice's later episodes are recorded nearer the final date, maybe even as we speak, so the winner might still be unknown. Let us in on the secret if anyone knows more and spoil it for everyone else! lol
I asked a similar Q about a week ago.

I cant understand either why nobody has leaked it out or sold the outcome to the gutter press.

If you listened to what A/S said about why he sacked Lucinda, it seemed to make sense.
I think sometimes we look at the personality/looks of the contestants rather than their business potential.
Me included last night, I thought she was beautiful and should have stayed

I'm confused, I thought Lindi went last night. Alan told her that as manager of the sales side she should have not created leads to people that already make there own ice cream. x
-- answer removed --
I thought she managed well, too. Yes, she was a little laid back, but, like you said, she listened to their views.
I wouldn't trust any of them to manage a paper round.

Regional Sales managers
Global Pricing Leaders (whatever that is)
Risk Analyst

In their early 20's so that would give them about 2 years work experinece.

Whoopee do lol
Ooops sorry, slight keyboard malfunction! :- )
Question Author
I am sure AS watches the show that we have just watched, and maybe more before it gets to the cutting room floor, before they all go back to the boardroom (which is in a studio, did you read about it and his 'secretary' Frances in the Daily Mail?). Anyway, he asks all the right questions and knows exactly what happened. But it was strange that he didn't mention the fact that Claire got p****d on cider and didn't buy the oranges until very late in the day, though. Thought he would mention that. I like Lucinda but possibly not tough enough, maybe Raef to win? The silent one, looks devious to me, eyes too close together and too smarmy for my liking. I liked Simon !! Bring back Simon !!
It's compulsive viewing but they do make some great gaffs.
I agree - bring back Simon!
