The Apprentice: who to bet on

So lord sugar, who’s it going to be? You must have an idea by now, surely. You won’t tell us? Well that’s fine because I have an idea who the top candidates are

Jim looks to be most peoples favourite at the moment and understandably so. He talked his way out of the bottom 3 and negotiated well on previous tasks. Hasn’t project managed yet but seems to have a good idea whats he’s doing. As of yet, not appeared in the boardroom final 3.


Tom Pellereau

Cites Thomas Edison as an icon 


Age: 31
Career: Inventor
Lives: London




A somewhat quirky charchter but a logical thinker. Gets stuck in and brings enthusiasm to his teams. Hasn’t been in the boardroom bottom 3 although has yet to be on a winning team.


Ellie Reed

Once chased a burglar out of her house at 17


Age: 33
Career: Managing Director
Lives: Yorkshire


Dark horse of the competiton. She gets on well with her team mates and isn’t afraid to kick off. We haven’t seen a large amount of business noice yet but maybe as the firings get going she will take advantage of the opportunity and show much more leadership. Has been in the boardroom bottom 3 once.
