The Apprentice.

[libertie]

Anyone else glad that Tim won?

[willowman]

Yes. Our family was behind Tim in the final. Sairao be lying to get where she was, her CV had a terminological inexactitude on it. Tim will be a great learner and a great asset. Paul once again showed himself to be a big mouthed loose cannon, always ready to fly off the handle if things don't go his way. He really acted like a spoilt child having a tantrum.

Well done Tim, but as I said before, if he wants to be taken seriously in the business world he has to get rid of the bright orange shoes!!

[willowman]

PS - that should be "Saira showed herself to be lying....."

[milly143]

yeah, I like Tim. He seems genuine and a really nice guy. That Saira just seemed like a pretencious cow to me. and how annoying was her voice!

[libertie]

Yep, agree with you both even about the shoes! thought Tim came across as being a really nice guy, and Saira as being totally self obsessed.

Don't know if anyone saw the follow up programme, but Sir Alan later admitted that he had had second thoughts about firing Miriam and sent her an email next day!

[QmunkE]

Yes, he was clearly the better choice. Regarding Miriam's sacking, I thought it was grossly unfair for her to go - I had always expected her and James to make it to at least the last four, and I imagine it would have been Paul who Sir Alan would have fired in her place. I don't know how he got so far, to be honest. I can't say that the performaces we saw were ever fantastic on the tasks.

[elgroucho]

Tim definitely deserved it. I couldn't stand Saira at the start, but I grew to like her. I'm just glad that Paul didn't win in the end.

[kick3m0n]

Miriam should have won.......I'd put money on the fact that Sir Alan would employ her in some capacity, he knows he made a mistake by firing her.  Tim was just a bit dull and instantly forgettable.

[GucciGal]

Yes!! I Lurved Tim from day one. Sucha nice chap.

Love ya Tim if you're reading this ;-)

[julesy]

I wanted Tim to win from the beginning, the very first thing he should do however, is to get rid of those awful shoes!
Julesy.

[crisgal]

I thought the follow up programme was great. That brummy bloke asked all the things I would have done!

The fireworks between Paul and Saira were fab!

[willowman]

Just a small point, but if Tim is employed as an apprentice on �100k, what on earth are Sir Alan's two henchmen on?

[Mikesmith165]

i much prefered him to Saira but i didnt really like him.

Also appearently tim and saira had already been working for sir alan (obviously not as high up) but just thought that was a bit odd.
