The Apprentice - Final

Tomorrow is the final of this year's Apprentice. In the running for the £100k job from Alan Sugar is Kate and Yasmina.

The two fiesty females won through the interview round which saw the really quite silly James dispatched, along with the lacking in confidence Lorraine, and the rather unlucky Debra.

James made a series of mistakes and came across as to flippant and trivial. He was quite frankly not serious enough.

Lorraine didn't have the CV and skills to compete against her rivals, and I think she knew she was doomed from the off. Lorraine also made a few errors in her CV, but unlike Lee McQueen from last year she could not engineer an escape.

Debra was aggressive and bullish but she did show emotion when James got the sack, but her faux pas was in her choice of referees. They slated her! What chance do you have if you pick a poor referee?

But Kate and Yasmina may count themselves lucky to have went through also.

Kate was accused of lacking passion and being too robotic. I would say she came across a bit false. She knows all the answers to interview questions but lacked the enthusiasm needed. She kept her cool - no bad thing - but perhaps she is too much of an ice maiden.

How Yasmina got through I do not know. She may well be an entrepreneur, but when Claude - one of the interviewers - grilled her over her restaurant's accounts, she was clueless. She didn't know her accounts were filed at Company House and therefore public, nor did she know the difference between gross and net profit! I cannot believe she got through after making such mistakes! In fact if she was on Dragons' Den she would have been shown the door.

Alan Sugar has recently been made Enterprise Czar by the Labour Government, which I am also a bit worried about! Alan chose Lee over Alex last year when Alex was clearly the best candidate and in fact even Kristina was a better candidate that Simon the year before (he was a bit like James!).

I would have taken Debra to the final and in fact I think she is the most capable of all the candidates though she does have to learn how to respect her colleagues, but she will learn I feel.

In saying that in the final it looks like a canter for Kate, but the way Alan Sugar seems to play to the entertainment side of the programme rather than the business side that means Yasmina will win!
