So come on, just for fun, let's all pick the winner from the very little we know already. Of course we don't know the business idea which is a massive floor in the format!

I'll pick Natalie Dean.



On the basis she is into football and "Shugs" might like that

HANG ON! - Brett Butler...............so close, frankly my dear I don't give a damn

[Laurel Green]

Well, I've studied all the candidates and, to be honest, can't say I fancy any of them for this year's title. Maybe it'll all end up being declared null and void.

Selina Waterman-Smith will win.

Well 21 years old Elle Stevenson is called an "Construction operations executive" which to me says PA. Yet she refers to herself as a Director and in the press has said she has sacked workers on the spot for slapping her bum, like all workers do to Directors

She has a bit of madness about her.

In the profile pic she looks like she has either overdone the botox or the photographers assistant just stuck a finger up her arse.

Elle said:

she says those who know her would say she is older than her years.

I must say I had trouble believing she was only 21.

Scott Saunders...."People do say they’ve never met anyone like me"

In my experience when people say things like that about somebody it isn't usually a compliment.

Ok, my money is on Elle Stevenson and Richard Woods for the final.

Also says he has 'no weaknesses' - management handbook blurb for I have no imagination and just repeat what I read (ironically, a weakness).

[veevee]

Why do they all seem to have picked pointless celebs as their 'business inspirations'? Taylor Swift, really!?

To be fair, a lot of them are probably decent enough. They're clearly told (or had 'help' with writing their tag lines and introductions) to come up with something cutting or controversial as part of their opening gambits.

Looking forward to the new series, hopefully they'll mix up the tasks a bit.

Jenny was looking promising, but she claims to be a keen feminist.

Tried watching the 'Meet the Candidates' thing on iPlayer. After about two minutes of Matt Edmundson it had to turned off.
