We have been told that Helene and Alex are on one team, and Claire and Lee are on the other. Whoever loses the task will get fired, and one out of the final two candidates will win.
I think Sir Alan has already made his mind up about who he wants to win. I think he is torn between Alex and Claire. This could be the reason he has separated them for the final task. That way, if one of them loses, he still has the chance to pick the other one to become the winner, rather than putting all his eggs in one basket by putting Claire and Alex together.
I could be completely wrong, but he obviously thinks highly of the both of them, especially Claire, as she has miracously managed to stay after 5 boardrooms. Alex has the potential because he is still very young.
Now that you have heard my opinion, who do you think will win?
I am glad Alex didnt win the apprentice. It wasn't like he even came up with the bottle concept, although the advert after that and evolving the Dual brand was very good, it was the designers that came up with the bottle idea. I think that was a significant reason their team didnt win (other than the cost)
