Kingmaker2 Â Â 10 #217 Posted June 12, 2008 I really wonder if the Michelle Dewbury experience, i.e she got pregenant from fellow apprentice hopeful Sayhed Ahmed quit her job with Sugar has made Sir Alan very wary of female candidates. Given the choice of a female candidate or male candidate he always seems to favour the male. I may be wrong but isn't the score so far 3 males 1 female? Â Clare seemed to be the more proficient and skilled candidate than Lee but Lee gets the job. Remember last year?....Kristine was streets ahead of Simon on ability and shrewdness and yet Simon got picked! Noticably Sugar has dropped the "The person I'm looking for will be drop dead shrewd!" Well Simon wasn't drop dead shrewed. How about Lee, lying about his stay at university on CV wasn't exactly very shrewed. Surely next series Sugar will have to pick a female just to even out the ratio slightly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Perhaps that's why he dropped it. I would think he must have a specific position available 'saved' for the winner. Perhaps this position (which we don't normally find out about until a few weeks later) suited Lee better? Just a thought though. Â As a boss I would probably pick Lee over Clare, based on the limited/edited viewing that we see. Â It's also cleverly done that the last episode isn't like a normal task, where his 'preferred' apprentice might get knocked out in the losing team. In this task, he could fire whoever he chooses. Â Â I also take back what I said earlier in the thread about Helene's attractiveness. She's really grown on me, I thought she looked stunning 'in real life' on the show after.
