CLUE: IT WON'T BE HER
This is your chance to pick the winner of The Apprentice 2009. If you comment here with an accurate choice, come the end times your brilliant foresight will be recorded on the indelible pages of this website for posterity.
You’ll be able to brag to your friends that you’re as good as, if not better than Alan Sugar when it comes to recruitment!
It doesn’t get much more exciting than that.
So – who is most likely to get kicked out because they’re distracted by the fact they have a partner and kids?
Who will be the villain of the piece? (My money’s on Debra).
Who will put on an animal costume?
Where will the friction come from?
Who will WIN the damn thing?
And if you’re still thrown by the sheer number of them, here they are again.

hello.
i don’t actually care who wins. does that make me a bad person?
March 26, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Noorul Choudhury.
March 26, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Breeks, you could just pick a name out at random like i did.
March 26, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Debra Barr to win The Apprentice.
March 26, 2009 at 12:53 pm
i would like nick & margaret to win. failing them, then sugar himself.

Bloke in the shopping centre.
March 26, 2009 at 1:17 pm
The blonde girl with the sideways phone mouth will win.
March 26, 2009 at 1:20 pm
It is too early to say.
March 26, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Phil, clearly. Good old Phil.
March 26, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I also think the villain of the piece will be the red-headed one. I’m basing this on Jenny turning into a tyrant after a quiet start last year.
March 26, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I’m all about Paula Jones, because her name is Paula Jones. Paula Jones FTW! (even though she hasn’t spoken yet)
March 26, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I do like Phil, though, with his uncanny Elvis impersonation. What, you don’t see it?
March 26, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Phil your boots (see what I did th……)
March 26, 2009 at 1:47 pm
I see what you did there, Fourstar. Nice one.
March 26, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Thanks Nappers. It’s nice to be appreciated by someone with real class.
March 26, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Y’welcome, Fourstar.
Cheque’s in the post, is it?
March 26, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Sorry, Fred Goodwin has all my money. I’ve got a brace of pheasant?
March 26, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Phil Harmonic
Phil Istine
Phil Anphropist
Phil Eh Oh Phish
Phil Adelphia With Dill And Wild Smoked Salmon
That’s right, Fourstar. I brought it to the game.
March 26, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Thanks to the sucess of The Number One Womens Detective Agency, Nooral will win.
Could someone check my new blog to see if the pic works?
It did for me at first now it don’t.
Mwah!!!
March 26, 2009 at 2:07 pm
The Google Street View picture? Works for me.
March 26, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I am full of wonder.
Ta
I’m all over this technology stuff like Raymond Burr
March 26, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Of course I meant Raymond Baxter
March 26, 2009 at 2:43 pm
I’m gonna put my cock on the block and balls on the line and go for Rocky. He reminds me of somebody and I haven’t worked out who yet. That’s my highly specialised selection criteria.
As Mr Piqued would say, eat that.
March 26, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Do any of you know what that picture’s called that used to hang on walls in the ’70s (and in the flat in Bottom) of a blue-faced, possibly oriental, woman?
March 26, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I know the picture you mean. My boss (Dad) will know, but he’s in a meeting and I can’t really go bursting in to ask him. Or maybe I should?
March 26, 2009 at 2:50 pm
If you could, Who, it would be very helpful. Everyone had it on their walls in the ’70s – EVERYONE.
March 26, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Leave it with me, Nappers. He’ll give me the sack for being a thumping great oaf, but never mind.
March 26, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Thanks, Who.
*waits*
Well come on!
March 26, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Google it? ‘Blue face oriental painting monty python’ – that’s the search I’d use.
*uses search*

March 26, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I just put Who’s Dad out of a job.
*overwhelming guilt*
March 26, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Ah, that’s OK. He’s the boss man and he’s talking to important clients, so his idiot daughter will just make him look REALLY stewpit.
March 26, 2009 at 3:08 pm
I tried loads of different fucking Google combinations. It never occurred to me to throw ‘Monty Python’ into the mix.
I’M NOT GRATEFUL.
March 26, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Me too Naps. Where did the Monty Python come in?
March 26, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Gilliam no doubt used it, Nick.
March 26, 2009 at 3:16 pm
*nods*
March 26, 2009 at 3:17 pm
It was in the background of most suburban scenes, as far as i can remember – rather than animations. Gilliam tended to use second world war-era photography, according to my bad memory.
I could be wrong, this is more Napoleon’s territory.
March 26, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Seen ‘Elsewhere on the web’ here?

We are being monitored by the big boys.

He mainly used old masters paintings and Victorian photographs because they were out of copyright. And idea he nicked from Bob Godfrey.
March 26, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I like the way we’re listed as ‘Fan’. Bastards.
March 26, 2009 at 3:24 pm
My computer catched a virus and iz dead.
I have chosen this fleeting moment of illicit computer time on my colleague’s laptop to say I miss you all. Damned computer is in quarantine until end of next week – WHY OH WHY did my computer get sick when the Apprentice and all good tellys are on?
Debra is a cow.
So long old chums, so long…
March 26, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I see… a smart way of working.
I’m off to watch a brutal horror film.
March 26, 2009 at 3:25 pm
SO LONG CLARRY
COME BAK SOONS
March 26, 2009 at 4:05 pm
where the feck does everyone go at this time of day, eh?
March 26, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I did ask about you Clarry but no one said anything. I’m the only one who really care.
I’m not a fan. I thinks it’s rubbish.
But if BBC types are watching us…
*applies lippy*
*puckers up*
*flogs podcasts*
*feels dirty*
March 26, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I’m here breeks.
March 26, 2009 at 4:16 pm
i see, nick, i see you flogging yourself for any price.
March 26, 2009 at 4:21 pm
*tap dances*
Who me?
March 26, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Debra to win. She lives in sunny Sutton and nothing good has ever come from there.
March 26, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I think this was a typical case of, fire the ugly one ASAP.
March 27, 2009 at 9:14 am
Mornin’.
I am back in the flatlands, and just caught up with this last night. I reckon that Debra will get into the interview bit, but those men that do them will not put up with her bullpoo.
I don’t want this to be the case, but i fear it may be that cockweasel Phil that wins.
Nooral was the first to offer 110%, and yet claims to be a science teacher. If i were the education authority employing him i would send him to the gulags for immediate retraining.
