In keeping with the spirit of last years sweep stake I'd like the one who looks fit and turns out to be horrendous i.e can I share number 16 please?
Edit: Oh Lord, this one is from Bolton too.
Or is it random this year? Where is Paul when you need him?! Is Loose Women on? Too many questions!

I want Lindi Mngaza please, because her name is amazing, she has royal blood, and she looks a bit like Paris Bennett.
The general fitness of the contestants seems to be markedly improved this year. Well done, Apprentice production team. I look forward to the inevitably disappointing moment when I discover that all the really fit ones are arseholes.
(If there are too many takers for Lindi, can I have Lucinda Ledgerwood as my backup? Her name is also amazing.)
I am looking forward to Jennifer Maguire, since she "rate [herself] as the best salesperson in Europe." And as we all know, there is no more unbiased source in such matters than yourself. Also, she sells pieces of paper for £60. I wonder if they're £60 notes?

Can I have number 5, Claire Young? I like the fact she was convent educated and has a ridiculous Nike-thieved motto. Also, she's trying to hide her tummy by placing her hands artfully and posing to one side, bless.

Also, she's trying to hide her tummy by placing her hands artfully and posing to one side, bless. Also the first contestant to talk about their dedication by using a percentage over 100. In the sweep stake I'll take anything.

I am happy to be randomly assigned, but quite like No1's name - De Lacey Brown sounds suitably pompus. He won't win, but may be entertaining enough.

I'm sure I actually squealed out loud on the train home, when I was flicking through my Radio Times. I've had a quicks scroll through and it doesn't look like anyone has picked Lucinda Leddgerwood, aka The Lady In Red.
Seeing as The Welsh are doing quite well at the moment, I'll plump for the LL.

Can I have FIERCE number 2 please for the sweepy, and number 16 to play with. Thank you.

Oooh, I'll have No. 3, Jennifer Maguire for the sweepstake if we're choosing. Seeing as she is THE BEST SALESPERSON IN EUROPE* it'd be churlish not to pick her, really. Plus she looks a bit like a sour-faced Davina McCall after an a brutal attack by a liposuctionist.
12, 14 and 16 all look like they could potentially forge a career in specialist gay porn should their attempt at media stardom fail. This is not a bad thing. Though on second thoughts, 14 appears to have a slightly-too-small head, which might make for disturbing viewing.
*As chosen by Jennifer Maguire.

I'd like no 13 - Shazia Wahab please. I want to know just how many degrees a family needs to get a Guinness world record and she's a mosaic artist which sounds like a pretty job.

Oooh, I'm torn as to who I'd like for my sweepstake choice - it's between 7, 10 and 11. I am going purely based on their profiles, and not their looks which I know will be my let down. I love the fact number 11 probably did his classics degree based on his surname. If it's not random, I'll have any of those three that haven't already been claimed.
Number 6 is going to be this year's Katie in that red dress.

12 looks abslutely gorgeous- he is probably a prick but thats my type and I'll have to stick with it. Can we share?
If not I'll have 11.
Who is going to be so kind as to organise this sweepie?

Who is going to be so kind as to organise this sweepie? I'm happy to sit this one out, and let someone else take the reins, busy as I am with the American Idol one.

I'll do it!
I've never done one before and am therefore thrilled by the prospect. I'd prefer random selection, but if you all insist on picking your own I'll read through all this crap and do it that way.
Either way it will be ready for the first show.

I want to have sex with 12, 14 and 16. And maybe 11
From reading the Mirror article, I guess they've given up the "brightest business brains of Britain' tags - one of them seems very pleased with his BTEC.
I'm going with Jenny Celerier though.

Number 2 looks a bit like Karen from Pulling and therefore gets my vote.
Number 6 looks like she's got lost from the American Princess photoshoot.

Cherubic is organising the sweepstake properly. I will put the updates on here so we know whats what until he's ready to take it over. Here's the requests so far:
1. Nicholas De Lacy Brown, 24
A barrister, artist and property developer with a law degree, and an MA in Medical Law and Ethics who lives in west London.
The barrister adopted his grandmother's name De Lacy five years ago as he felt it was more sophisticated. "My name is very distinctive... it gets me noticed in business and life. " He claims one of the worst moments of his life was when he got a B grade in a GCSE. Since then, he has been outstanding in everything. He says: "From the moment I was born I knew I was destined for great things." He adds that he is "allergic to chavs".

The sales manager had her son at the age of 18 and while raising him educated herself to degree level and worked her way up the career ladder. She now oversees a team of 16 and was a budding entrepreneur at an early age, digging up all the flowers from her parents' front garden and selling them. She says: "I've achieved. I have won awards for my selling."
