Apprentice Gossip

The Sunday Times printed a story yesterday giving some insight into the planned finale of the best programme on TV, in doing so they confirmed that filming of the programme finished 6 months ago.

Apparently, we will see one person sacked as usual this week, followed by a double sacking the week after. This would leave two contestants in the running for the £100,000 salary. The plan was then to give Sugar six months to choose which one of the pair he wanted to award the job to. They then shot two alternative endings for each of the remaining contestants. But, Sir Alan Sugar in his infinite wisdom, has given the last four candidates remaining, positions within Amstrad and has yet to actually decide who has won. Apparently filming finished 6 months ago and he's had the four of them working for him since then.

The Sunday Times quotes Sir Alan Sugar confirming that he hasn't made his mind up and that he's currently on a 10 day holiday to give him time to make the decision. The paper had photos of 4 of the 5 remaining contestants but did not confirm that these were the four that are currently working for Amstrad and therefore still in the running. They did however say that sources suggested that head witch Saria was one of the final four! I don't believe it, she can't still be in with a chance!

Update: 23:19 PM It would appear that The Sunday Times' story had some merit as Miriam was the contestant who's photo they didn't print. Interesting final four though.
