"Who's gona win?"
Helen or Tom, I think Tom could be like my namesake, on account of the face Helen would make a great manager, but maybe not such a hot founder of a corporation, which requires more entrepreneurial thinking.
+ a Rant:
I fucking hate it when I go to Google News, having not watched the show the night before (I watch on iPlayer, so it's the day after), and in full caps the Daily goddamn fucking Mail has a headline telling me who lost. Fuck you Mail, Fuck you. |

"I like Tom because he is a really nice bloke but I think Helen will win - she has definitely been the best this year.
"
I think Helen was fortunate enough to be on the winning team for a few weeks so went under the radar. Not so hot now it's head to head though.
Alan Sugar is a sucker for a good looking woman though so I would guess if he's true to form, Helen will win it though |

I think Helen could be great as an assistant as she has very good organising skills, but not sure about being her own boss, Tom seems a good bet as he's already brought a product to market from scratch and is really creative. Personally I'd love to see Suzie to win, she has been through an incredibly hard time in her childhood, she only 21 but has been running her own business for three or four years. She seemed a bit naïve at start but really has come along in the last few weeks, she has held her own in the boardroom and even got the better of Jim on the way back to the house, oh and she's oh so cute. |

Anybody follow the lives of people who win/don't win, and leave that process?
Well, it's not terribly different from the rest of business. Some do ok, some screw up. Just completing a course like that lasting a couple of weeks proves nothing. It's a game show. The kind of acumen you really need to get uber-wealth doesn't come nicely packaged in a game show. It comes from poring over details, being rigorous and skeptical in your business dealings, and investing your own capital at risk.
You want to learn this stuff real fast, become a drug dealer for a few years
I swear to god I'd rather have a clean guy from the street work for me, than a cloudy headed student from business school. What complete horse-shite we've been hearing from the 'business' people on that show! I hate their entire lingo, and I'm a die hard capitalist!
A knowledge of a collection of semantic descriptions, does not, a real capitalist make. Having sleepless nights worrying about your positions in the markets or warehoused capital, grinding down your expenses, that's the less glamorous but totally essential part of it.
Listen to Mama I say: Nobody got rich working for another man.

The bit that bugs me is that they're all pitched as the 'entrepeneural (sp?) elite', yet muck up even the simplest tasks: Performing for the camera can't be fun (we'll probably never know how many retakes they do), but some of the things that go wrong are mind-bogglingly simple. |

Mostly it's because they don't ask the right questions in their heads because they're so cock-sure they're the greatest things since sliced pan.
You'll generally notice the less confident members tend to produce better results and less bullshit.
There's a finite limit to such logic, you DO need a certain amount of confidence in business. |
