Yes, hate the promo, you could tell who is winning!!! Anyone heard of a movie named ”The Yes Movie”, it is about young people starting their business, apprentice fans might like it too.

The role was for a National Business Development Manager role in Bouris’ company. Morello is a good sales man and so was a better fit for the position.
After all, Bouris wants his company to succeed and so he was always going to go with the contestant with the best ROI for him. All the best to Morello, on the yellow brick road!

Like Many others I taped the final episode of the Apprectice through Foxtel, therefore unable to allocate extra time. The Mentalist was running late as usual, so I had a gut feeling the I would not see the final two minutes (the winner being announced) and I was right, totally spoild my night. Channel 9 you need to sort your programming schedules…not happy ….

I don’t know what use Mark Bouris would have for a real estate agent in a financial capacity. I would have thought a law degree would have been more attuned to business dealings of his calibre. Good luck I say….

Damn. This article spoiled it for me. WIN here didn’t air The Apprentice until tonight, but I saw this article title first.

Hang on, Morello is only 23? Ouch. And what the hell does he put in his hair? And his cologne in a vibrator won?

So many questions.

I think Heather was better, but she was severely lacking in the people skills department.

You’d think the promo producers would be smart enough to flip the image of Bouris to show him pointing to a different side of the boardroom table – as to not give away the winner.

The job of apprentice is to learn and be mentored. Do you think Bouris would throw Morello into a high flying position right off the bat? Of course not. The kid is only 23 and he seems like he would be enthusiastic and eager to learn. Imagine Heather taking instruction … as we have already seen it’s not in her nature.

heather lost because she was not a team player, ignored her assistants completely, morello was the right choice, its `all about being part of a team, thats what mr. bouris wanted, not a stand alone prima donna

Head of Business Development- marketing, legal, strategic, finance, administrative, planning, HR roles- while Morello is undoubtedly a nice guy and a very effective salesperson, I don’t get the feeling that he can step up and be the head of business development and take on all the necessary roles- not just sales. I wonder how the staff he will have working with him will respond when they realise that he really knows little about heading up business development .. While I enjoy the show, in the real world the marketing and sales tasks assigned to the competitors are not sufficient or accurate indicators of their business acumen, ability and skills for such a senior executive position eg selling pies in Hyde Park, being a TV presenter on TVSN. It obviously makes for good TV. Heather should have won, she had well rounded skills and would be able to take on the role wih more ease than Morello.

Morello had to win. For Gavin, he is already smart, qualified and successful, this job wouldn’t make him as happy as it would Morello. Morello would never get a chance to get a job like this in his life, but Gavin could. Bouris knew this.

It was really a tough choice for me.

Yeah I agree, the promo showed which side he was looking at when he said “Your hired!”… soon as morello walked to the other side, I knew it was him… Fail

Splendid show last night but I still would like Heather to win.
Hopefully there will be a 2nd series and maybe, just maybe the final announcement should be made with a live audience a la Survivor finale!
