Didn't see that coming.

As I said, I do not want to spoil for others so will not confirm nor deny any speculation.

I know not why they were in my office, whether they have won or not, whether winning or losing had anything to do with why they were here, just that they were and it was quite a surprise on a Friday morning!
OK, they were the winner, which one was it?

Wow ! Cool result tbh in the end.
Neither was stand out and he's got £500k stuck down the back of his settee!

Let's hope she has better knowledge of relevant legislation than Alana!

I wonder how the bookies will pay out? Both winners or a draw?

Why do think he's doolally? He's got them loads of free publicity to give them a kick start, and his "investment" is probably less than his fee for the show.

Too much negativity on here as usual. rolleyes

I wish both winners all the best. party

Whether their ideas were any good or not, they both showed lots of passion, which I think Lord Sugar picked up on.

Personally, I wanted Elizabeth to win, but her business plan didn't stack up unfortunately.

The Apprentice is first and foremost a light entertainment show which gets the viewers talking, and in that it excels.

A nice twist with Sugar selecting both of them although neither would have made my final if I'm honest.
Both did well in the presentations, especially Sarah.
James must be pinching himself, he's worked for a few years as a recruiter, then gets sacked and now finds himself going into business with a £250k investment from Sugar on the strength of some flimsy 'cyber security' USP.

Sugar should mix it up further next year and just sack both finalists when it comes down to it hehe

What is the nonsense about naming the businesses and the branding?Surely like Sarah, if you have been in business for 7 years already, and have built up a 6 figure turnover, you are going to already have a name and an image, even if it needs tweaking?

When I started my business, the name was one of the first things that was sorted out.

I think they must be told they can't use any of their current business names or branding.
The final task is a bit of a jolly for the cameras although the presentations must be nerve wracking as hell for them.
