Alex must have something that is not coming across on TV - this might be deliberate editing. Lucinda went out with her head held high. @B'dum B'dum - I don't know. I think she's missing being part of a team in a corporate world and having the support structures that entails but I'm sure she will be inundated with work and job offers. @Paul – having 4 finalists says it all, you’re right.

To turn down the job at the end and get a media career? Lucinda was extremely talented, but why on earth was she there?

Lucinda was the only one with any decorum and sense of respect. Claire looked like she hadn't even washed her hair and that green tent thing she was wearing was a disgrace. Beleive me, as a bigger girl, I know there is no excuse for looking like shit. There's plenty of options out there. Lee was ok, no major issues apart from the CV. Helene swore. In an interview. I just about fell out of my seat when she called the rest of them gobshites! Unreal. And then Alex... I honestly have no idea how he got this far. He's like a doe in headlights. He has the charisma of a head of cabbage and is just exceptionally boring. Am I missing something? Everyone seems to think he's brilliant. I knew Lucinda's number was up, but I have to admire her tenacity to the end. She never shirked her morals and stuck to her ground. Ultimately women like her give all of us a positive image, but it's the Claire types who taint the image of women in business. *SIGH* Should be interesting that the strongest two are on the same team next week. Strategic move by Alan I'm sure! Can't wait! ;-) What amazed me in the interviews was the unprofessionalism of all four of the remaining candidates.

I think the interview episode fits perfectly into the light entertainment format of the tasks. It is impossible to take any of these people seriously - the candidates, SirA and his two cohorts and the four interviewers. Choosing four finalists shows just how poor the quality has been this year. He has to play it safe because there is no obvious winner and he fired the only one (Lucinda) who respresented something different and does not conform to any of the corporate clone stereotypes the others represent. It all proves just how deeply conservative the world of business remains. I have to dsiagree slightly. I think the interview episode fits perfectly into the light entertainment format of the tasks.
