A warning to you all - I just went to the newsagent to get myself a nice Raisin & Biscuit Yorkie, and they had a pile of Evening Standards there on the counter, with a DIRTY GREAT APPRENTICE SPOILER on the front page. It was too late for me to look away, sadly. I have been spoiled. But the rest of you - RUN!! SAVE YOURSELVES!!! I swear, some sort of regulation needs to come into force to stop the media giving away the endings or major plotlines of TV shows and films. I know doing so on the Internet would be impossible, but newspapers/magazines/radio should have to comply. Who can champion our cause? Who has the makings of a Mary Whitehouse for the digital age? Care to put it in spoilers?

I've only seen the cover and not the article but the headline says "Sralan's sidekick picks Claire" and goes on to say that Nick believes she will win. That isn't really a spoiler. I didn't actually notice the headline, oddly my eye went to the caption instead, which did give something away. I won't mention it in spoiler tags, as I know a lot of people just look at the Last 25 Posts (in which spoiler tags don't work). Only a few hours to go, anyway! EDIT: Turns out it wasn't the Standard, I went past a stand on the way home and was shocked to see a completely different front cover. It may have been the Express...

The Metro TV listings had what might be a spoiler for tonight. I'll need to watch and find out if what it suggest will happens tonight happens.

Jennifer Maguire has been FABULOUS this evening.

So, just how old is Alex? 6.30 I went to click the 'exalt' button for that. Made me laugh. I'm feeling sorry for Lee McQueen. Edit: utterly lulzed at Sralan rolling his eyes at being namechecked in Alex's vapidly shit introduction.

I'm not. He's already made me scream "FUCK OFF!" at the TV tonight.

He could've gone with a better name than Whyan.
And didn't the designer practically come up with Alex and Helene's concept? I hope they don't win.

Wtf? I was so sure Claire was going to win.

Nah. Claire was always the model of the runner-up. As soon as Sralan announced which team had won, I knew Lee was going to win. I still do not approve.

I think Lee's a fairly worthy winner - he had a few blips, but overall he was pretty good. (Blips being not managing Lucinda in the car task, ranting at Sara for something that seemed like nothing.)
I hoping Claire will be good value on You're Fired.

FFS. That is not what I'm talking abaaaht.
I'm 0/4 for picking the winner from the final two now.

Woo hoo I won another sweepie! I'm on a roll!
I think as far as what an apprentice means Lee suits it better than Claire. I think Claire would want to do her own thing more than what Sralan wants. I think Claire was impressive though.

Jennifer Maguire has been FABULOUS this evening. She was brilliant, wasn't she. I would totally have hired her. Another wrong decision from Sralan I think. He really doesn't like the ballsy women, does he? You're Fired: Amanda Platell??? What. The. Fuck. Was Michelle Moan busy or something.

I still can't believe that out of a selection of six people including Kevin, Michael Sophocles and Jenny Celery, Jennifer M was the last one picked. That defies all known logic.

It wasn't exactly a prime selection of candidates was it? But she'll always be the Best for Sales in Europe in my eyes. Was it just me or was the final a bit of a letdown? Especially the boardroom. The firings of HelenE and Lips happened with barely any argument at all. Which was weird, given it was the final four.

I can't believe Jenny Celery was picked first. Though I wished it wasn't true, the minute SrAlan criticised Lee based on his business skills, but Claire based on the fact that she might be annoying, I knew the McQueen had won. Just as a valid case could have been made for not employing Lucinda, but it got boiled down to "zany", Claire was rejected for being a bit gobby. Sexist twat. Claire will win in the long run. I can totally see her on Loose Women. EDIT: incidentally, isn't Simon a lovely bloke?

Congratulations to Becky and Cherubic for winning the sweepstake. Cherubic can't be here to accept his prize as he's holidaying on the continent. He'd like to thank the milkman and the doctors' receptionist, and Lee McQueen himself for his concern. And for Becky, a special themed gift that ties in with tonight's show.

I'm trying to decide which was more satisfying: Alex's bitter tears of defeat in the cab or Pirate Jessie's bitter tears of defeat after she lost Nancy. I'm going with the latter but it's close.

Simon Ambrose on You've been hired looked like a whipped, drained, bullied boy. He wasn't allowed to speak, looked as if he may cry, couldn't manage a smile and looked a shadow of his former buoyant self.

I totally agree! It was very much "get that camera off me".
I think You're Hired showed why Lee won - he was never in the Boardroom 3, won the projects he managed, and generally was liked by the majority of his colleagues (even Lucinda and Sara spoke well of him).

Obviously Siralan had the same fantasies about him that I did during the last series...
I wonder which mouthy, tough-talking, brilliant, ruthless yet basically likeable woman will get to finish second next year. How obvious can Siralan make it that he enjoys jerking around and dominating powerful women before the show gets taken off air as mysoginist porn?
Having said that, Lee IS a better winner than last year, so at least he bucks the trend of winners getting progressively worse.

Did I see Ulrika in the audience of You're Fired? Didn't she just give birth the other day? If so - look our Kerry Katona, Ulrika is after your mother of the year crown.
