Thanks for all your excellent interview notes - you can keep sending us your observations using the hashtag #TheApprentice.

We'll be back on Sunday from 8pm to bring you coverage of the final, where we'll see both Vana and Joseph fight it out (although not to the death) for Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment - with a little help from Tricky Dicky, and the one and only Mergim.

Since you've been such good sports, here's an EXCLUSIVE clip from the final. That's right, you saw it here first.

Lord Sugar's trusted advisor & businessman

As always, the final is tense. Having got so far in the process, the candidates know they are credible and need to be absolutely at their best. They must demonstrate that they have the skill and aptitude to be Lord Sugar’s business partner and to persuade Lord Sugar that they can execute their business plan with the focus of turning a £250,000 investment into a profitable and sustainable business.

So that's it! A shell shocked Joseph and Vana head back to the house with the plumber declaring it a 'fight to the death'.

Someone had better tell Joseph he's got a little confused!

"I want to commit myself 100 percent." Richard decides to give up his existing company to get through to the final, but it's too late for Lord Sugar, who barely takes note and sends Vana into the final instead.

"I can tell you right now, Joseph, that you are going to be in the final," Lord Sugar reveals to the plumber.

"I won't let you down, I'm going to make you a lot of money," Joseph gushes.

"Well, you've got to win first," says Lord Sugar, stating the terms and conditions of the hiring process.

Vana makes a focused pitch for a spot in the final, as does Lord Sugar's biggest fan, Joseph. "Imagine what I could do in ten years," he projects.

"Richard, I'm going into business with somebody who's going to give 100 percent to the business we're going to make." Lord Sugar says, asking if Richard will give his shares in his existing company to his brother. Tricky Dicky's slippery behaviour comes back into the boardroom. Essentially no, he's not.

But will being a silent partner in an existing business be enough for Lord Sugar? Or has Richard's luck run out?

We KNOW, Justin - we wanted to be his first customers!

Lord Sugar asks for some quiet time with Karren and Claude, wherein the latter uses the metaphor of a hockey stick to describe what business risk Vana represents.

"Gary, I think your business plan is flawed. I can't go into business with you at all." Lord Sugar gives Corporate G his marching orders.

(Gary, give us a call about your mobile disco - we're running one of these live blogs after the final on Sunday and fancy an afterparty.)

Lord Sugar decides he's adjusting Joseph's business plan on the spot. Joseph is quick to react, sharing how in demand he is in the local plumbing industry.

"How much money do you think we can make?" Lord Sugar says. Joseph reveals he signed a big deal before joining the process - but is it enough to convince his would-be investor?

"I don't believe I can go into business with you at this time," Lord Sugar says, telling the hairdresser to follow Claude's advice.

Charleine graciously leaves with her head held high and a suitcase full of socks worked off during previous tasks.

Charleine shares her plans to move to London and make it big.

"You come to London and you'll be swallowed up" Karren says.

"Why not stay in Plymouth?" Claude kindly suggests.

Yet again, Charleine's ability to work her socks off is mentioned. She really, really needs to put some fresh pairs on her Christmas list.

"I've submitted a piece of gobbledegook," Richard confesses before putting his business plans into plan English. 

However, there's a new problem - Lord Sugar thinks his business plan is the same as the agency he owns with his brother. "It's almost word-for-word the same as your business plan," Claude says of the existing company.

Karren, Claude and Lord Sugar are still querying Gary's responsibilities for his former employer, and they're definitely not impressed by his 'better than Skype' virtual party app.

"I don't get it," mutters Tinder expert Lord Sugar.

Despite promising to bring together couples through scintillating-sounding brainteaser games, Lord Sugar is questioning her figures. He's also proving his own dating credentials with his Tinder knowledge. The saucepot.
