Anyone else watch it, looks like it could be the best series yet :D Only 10 contestants, so it'll be a sprint rather than a marathon.

Best excuse ever for failing in the first task

'Wind is my least favourite weather condition'

That from a boy who works on a farm :lol:

I see the most successful one outside of the contest got knocked out first. They said as his business didn't involve much man management and of course they chose the wrong market location in hindsight. So they sold next to nothing and dropped all their merchandise at a knocked down rate at the last minute.

Whereas only children would invent the cardboard camping table.

Coming next week, the chocolate teapot.

Another classic excuse this week. When asked why he couldn't carry 2 trays of cupcakes at a time, the boy who eventually got fired replied 'Because I'm not as tall as you two' :? :lol:

FS Record: FPL 134 overall 06/07 ... never close since
So the final is about selling a new (obviously needed) brand of bottled water :roll:

FS Record: not bad
Nice to see they continued with their peculiar plan to make as many people miss the final as possible by putting the last episode on a different day from every other one in the series. Just like they did with the 'grown ups' Apprentice. Excellent work :roll:

I assume this has been posted before but I'll post it anyway :)

Due to the world cup I suppose.

I though they said that the final would be shown tomorrow night though, at the end of the semi final episode?

For those that missed the final (like myself) it can be seen Wednesday morning at 2am on all regions except Wales.

It can also be seen on the BBC iplayer for UK viewers only :(

Thank god for SKY +

Those kids were rather impressive :D I wonder if they will be on the show again five years from now as SAS employs his 14th apprentice on a six figure sum :D

Lord Sugar was grossly unfair in the final to dismiss the girls 'teen water' product as being 'aimed at the wrong market'. Who knows what will sell?
After all there is a lot of competition for bottled water, being the first to aim at the younger consumer may have been a huge success.

Maybe so, but the Boys branding was absolute genius & not limited to water or even bottled products

A bottle of.., A packet of.., A can of..,

it's ethos was pure 'Sugar' too, ie cheap and cheerful, no frills. They were clear winners imho.

Eugene Levy is out! Sacre Bleu! :D Bottled water is purchased by girls and gay men who think it makes their skin look younger, no one else.
