Lord Alan Sugar's BBC1s the Apprentice 
This week it was the inevitable return of the interview stage, which always brings about fear and nerves in the candidates, and this week was no different. The harsh grilling of them one to one individually has been great in breaking the strong from the weak.

Also we have the return of Margaret. HALLELUJAH! The eye rolling is back.

The Apprentice: Best quotes Week 10...Shocking departure plus a return

This week on the BBC1's The Apprentice has been a shocking and odd week. The task itself although one on the hardest (selling bus tours of London's) yet boring challenge..but the boardroom was to shock.


Liz
Wasn't sure on this weeks task.
'Bus Station? No idea what it will be'

Jamie 
When discussing Joanna he said
'she is chewing my ear off'
'Jo is a rock-wilder'
Jamie Lester
Quote of the Week: Is from Jamie
'The River Thames, the second largest river in London'
He may have got that one a little bit wrong there.




Stella
'I can be fun and silly'
'I am not cold and wooden'

Stuart
'like walking into knives...don't know how badly you'll get cut'
'juicy money bags, want to dip my hands into their pockets'
'I have a field of ponies'
Stuart Baggs


Joanna
'They've got my customers' Running over in a panic

Lord Alan Sugar
When talking about Stuart
'a flies got enthusiasm...doesn't stop it hitting the window'
'you will cringe at this moment' - talking about Stuart's save me rant.
'you believed in the tooth fairy until a few years ago'
Lord Sugar



Ultimately the shock of the programme was the firing of candidate Liz..who was tipped for the top!
Not just me but many will believe Stuart was pipped to go..however he thought for his position.
YOUR FIRED
Liz Locke




NEWS ALERT
Margaret will be back next week for the interviews...and we are very excited here to hear of her great return...let the eye rolling continue. 
Episode Eleven - Next Time

Who will eventually win the apprentice??

I would love to hear what you guys think of the remaining candidates..and who you believe will win.

Throughout this series there has been a mixed amount of talent, from the obvious sellers to the sneaky brain boxes. Although you may think it is hard to consider a winner at this very point..they all appear strong candidates who may have the potential to go far.

Stuart Baggs -  Our favourite German Speaking Englishman
Young and foolish at times, but when it matters he can use business skills with little experience showing his raw potential at this stage of his life. He has become one of the series best characters with energetic outbursts, funny quotes and bizarre but funny behaviour. Will Sir Alan like the rough diamond...or is he wanting stability??
Stuart Baggs

Joanna Riley - Our biggest shock
For me she is the person who I thought would leave fairly quick in the process...however she has been improving each week. She may not present herself as the front runner..but I bet she would happily push her way up there. She says fantastic people skills..and she never appears to be mean to clients and others.. I think she may be the one to watch.
Joanna Riley

Chris Bates - Forbes magazine...
The posh boy has good business sense and a good knack for slagging...but it works.. He has made this far...I don't believe he will be standing in Lord Sugars company at the end..but he won't go down easily without a fight and his trademark frown.
Chris Bates

Jamie Lester - Up and down performer
He has the gift of the gab... and could charm his way to victory...but does he have a good business skill set beside selling..is he a number cruncher...is he creative enough to win. It is a surprise he made it this far..but he keeps picking himself back up..and Lord Alan Sugar admires that quality. 
Jamie Lester


 Stella English....................Front runner
Stella English
Determined to not be cold and wooden, this woman appears to have nothing to hide...great at sales, maths and creativity she has been nothing other than strong and focused throughout the process...but us she the rough diamond Sir Alan is really looking for?
