The way it had been cut, I was expecting it to be Alana and Frances. I am half expecting Courtnay to crumble in the final pitch given his track record!

I'm trying to be clever here, which has failed me dismally in the past, but IF Courtenay is indeed sitting on the left in the picture in the boardroom and IF the shot of Lord Sugar saying 'you're hired' is from this series, then his crooked finger appears to be directed towards Courtenay. I think Claude is definitely backing him, too.

Does Lord Sugar ever pick anyone in his final other than those from Southern England? I don't think we've ever had a Northern winner.

Well Sugar loves cheap tat so Courtney will probably win, especially with the negative edit of him throughout the series!

Always a bit strange though how they schedule the final for Sunday, and how the 3 fired candidates only get about 8 minutes each on You're Fired!

As the resident Alana fan on the forums, the only way I can express myself is with emoticons :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I have been hoping to see a lot more of Alana for a while .....;)

Will be interesting to see which of those fired earlier will not be back to "help out"

I'd love to see a special program that catches up with previous winners and controversial candidates to see what they are doing now !!

Don't you think Katie bloody Hopkins is on the telly quite enough already?

Another winner fell out with Sugar and took him to Employment Tribunal, and Stuart Baggs died in 2015.

It'd be really good to see how the businesses are doing. You occasionally hear that they're doing well, but not much more than that.

I'd like to veto Katie Hopkins. Just in general.

It's true, we don't hear too much about how the previous winners business' are getting on.

I think Courtney will win...

Ricky Martin shows up roughly once a season as well. Inventor Tom was shown the other year on you're fired...

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned anything about the result yet, or have you all forgotten the final was tonight (as I did initially!)? :lol:

One thing that struck me was the absence of Trishna amongst the returning Candidates. Also none of the Afro-Caribbeans (Male or Female) or The Scottish Girls appeared. :idea:

Well done my little blonde babe that short skirt did the trick. I was suprised he chose her over him.

I think he made the right decision in the end, although had Alana not taken some ownership on the branding and logo, it could have quite easily gone the other way

Didn't think she ever wore a particularly short skirt during the series, certainly not as short as on some of the other candidates, not that it ever does them any good, given the audience isn't voting!
