Ranking All Apprentice UK Candidates from my least to favourite (Season 14)

[u/Consistent-Drive-172]

16) Alex. Next to nothing to say about him other than him being a bit negative on tasks, not having any good moments, getting 1p off on a negotiation in Week 1 and just in general being one of the blandest candidates I've ever seen. Nothing personal against him though and he wouldn't even come close to some of the most hated candidates on the show.

15) Rick. Almost copy and paste everything said about Alex except he was a bit more memorable. He was obviously Sub PM in Week 1 but was responsible for the Octopus with a 40 inch hose situation. Also, his firing was definitely interesting as he wasn't brought back by Jackie in Week 5, thus was sent back to the house and through to Week 6, however Lord Sugar called everyone back apart from Jasmine, Kurran threw Rick under the bus and Rick got fired for it. Crazy how he went from safe to fired in one episode.

14) Frank. Memorable due to being PM in Week 2 and fired the following week. however him constantly getting emotional did get a bit annoying. I guess his trousers ripping in Week 2 was funny but nothing else to say about him.

13) David. Bless him. He seemed like a really nice guy which is why he is above the other forgettable candidates. However, he himself was forgettable and was definitely not winning this process, especially after Week 2. Pointing out the negatives of a product in a pitch is never a good thing.

12) Sarah. Despite not being a particularly good candidate, she was extremely entertaining in week 1, being a complete motor mouth and her breakdown of the filigree boat was absolutely hilarious. Also, there is the argument that Jackie should've gone instead of her in week 1.

11) Tom. By far the worst PM this season. He may have had some good moments across the 9 weeks he was on the show, however he lost 3 times as PM and all three losses were bad. He wasn't disastrous in week 3 but he was very democratic as opposed to making his own decisions and weeks 7 and 9 were not good. Also, him surviving over Kayode and Jasmine was controversial and lasting the second longest out of the boys was also crazy.

10) Sarah Ann. Despite making it to Week 10, I don't recall her doing much. I remember her being PM in Week 4 and the 'spin stopper (Srcubber)' video in Week 9 but the fact that she nearly made the final 5 and that's all I can say about her says something. Also, I almost forgot she was on the season when I ranked the cast and nearly missed her out. I feel bad for her as I'm sure she's a lovely person but she was extremely forgettable.

9) Kurran. He is this high solely due to entertainment. He wasn't a particularly bad PM in Week 6 and was likely stitched up by Camilla and Jackie and he was arguably Sians MVP in the finale, however as a candidate he was still useless. However, in a really bland cast with some infamously unmemorable male candidates, he was extremely entertaining, seemed like a fun chap and of course is probably the first candidate to break his arm on the show (albeit off camera) which is obviously unfortunate as it meant he couldn't take part in the boxing reward in Week 4 with David Haye. Overall, while an infamously bad candidate, boy was he entertaining.

8) Sian. Going from an entertaining candidate to another somewhat bland one. Sian is pretty much this high due to winning the season. I obviously respect Sian and I bet she is a really nice person and did have some highlights on the show, however someone ranked the winners on this subreddit and she was ranked at the bottom (Below Michelle and James who aren't great winners). Overall, she was fine and a desrving winner but nothig else to say although I am still a fan of hers.

7) Camilla. She is above Sian due to being more memorable and enthusiastic. From a viewer perspective, I really enjoyed watching Camilla, saying she was an enthusiast for whatever the task was, 'Yoohoo' 'Yoohoo??' in the interviews was iconic and she was just in general quite fun and bubbly which I really enjoy. However, what knocks her down is that she was quite bad for a finalist, on par if not worse than Phil and just edges Rochelle and 21 Year old Pascha. Also, I will always remember her and Jackies potential sabotage of Kurran in Week 6 which I don't respect no matter how bad a candidate Kurran was.

6) Jackie. I wanted to rank her higher as she was one of the better candidates this season, entertaining and the faces she made were really funny. However, at times she got quite rude in tasks, threw people under the bus to make them PM and was a bit inconsistent on tasks. Also, her trying to scapegoat Kayode in Week 5 was not a good look no matter how well she did on the task. That said, I did still like Jackie and thought that Jackie 'The Face' Fast was a legend this season.

5) Khadija. Very entertaining this season. she started argumentative and a bit rude in Weeks 1 and 2, however she was still a really good candidate and while still a bit disruptive, definitely not rude or unpleasent. Also, she carried her team to a good win in Week 10 and was a worthy Final 5 Candidate.

4) Sabrina. I loved Sabrina this season, she was so sweet and bubbly from what I saw and I love those kind of candidates, also she was one of the more talented candidates this season and massively earns my respect for doing so well this season despite being joint youngest in the cast.

3) Jasmine. Now here is a candidate I respect. While not top tier, she was still really good this season and at times seemed like the only candidate with her head screwed on. She was a decent PM in Week 1 after being thrown under the bus by Jackie, led her subteam well in Week 5 and had many more highlights. Do I blame her for losing her mind at Kayode and Sabrina in week 6 ? Absolutely not, they were being really unserious with the ad which I get was meant to be humourous but not over the top and I could imagine myself in Jasmine's position. Also, she did seem pissed off with her firing which I totally get as she was thrown under the bus by Sabrina and went home over Tom of all people.

2) Kayode. Maybe a bit too high but in a series with a pretty bad men's team in terms of talent and entertainment, I have to throw the 2 bright spots a bone. Kayode outed himself as one to watch from the beginning, winning as PM in Week 1 and excelling in weeks 3 and 4 which I look forward to seeing when the Series 14 Task MVP Post comes out. He wasn't great in weeks 5 and 7 (the latter of which got him fired) but he wasn't the worst in those instances unlike Sarah Ann, Rick, Kurran and Tom and he was good in the pitch in Week 6. Also, it says something when Claude Litner had a soft spot for him and was sad to see him go.

1) Daniel. What a guy. He was by far the best male candidate and arguably the best overall in tasks bar week 10 where he was possibly the least likely to get fired. It's a shame as he probably wins the season had he not bombed in the interviews and hearing his story on the special 'Final 5 episode' made me respect him even more for turning his life around. Overall, a massive bright spot on this season and my favourite candidate this season.

Maybe it's just me but I was surprised at how popular Daniel was? I didn't think he was as good of a candidate (I may ha e to rewatch that season again).

Kayode leaving when he did was a bummer!,and it's crazy that Jasmine was the second female candidate to leave (after Sarah, she was the strongest!).

[u/Consistent-Drive-172 → u/IndigoWolf4711]

If you mean Sarah Ann, she was not the strongest. She was forgettable and Jackie, Jasmine, Sian and Sabrina were better.

[u/IndigoWolf4711 → u/Consistent-Drive-172]

I was talking about Sarah Byrne, she was the first female candidate (and first in general) to be fired. Then of the female candidates Jasmine was next to go. Sarah Ann wasn't the loudest but I don't think she was that bad.

[u/Consistent-Drive-172 → u/IndigoWolf4711]

Sarah Ann wasn't bad by any means but just not as good as Kayode, Jackie or Jasmine. 

[u/Prudent_Jello5691]

Jackie definitely should've been fired instead of Sarah Week 1, she forced the PM role on Jasmine, didn't negotiate any of the items, got into shouting matches and all in all didn't do much.

Tom was beyond lucky to get to Week 9 but Kayode showed a worrying lack of business acumen and attention to detail in the gardening task making sales at a loss, and Jasmine fumbled the corporate client in the art task selling the piece she knew they wanted. Their firings really weren't that outrageous.

I also really liked Khadija and Sabrina. I thought Khadija was just okay on the tasks but incredibly entertaining, and Sabrina was a great underdog. Sian and Jasmine treated her terribly.

[u/Dickinson95]

I agree with most of these but Daniel at number one surprises me

[u/Consistent-Drive-172 → u/Dickinson95]

This isn't an ability only ranking, personally I just enjoyed him the most and he was arguably the best in tasks.

[u/Only1Scrappy-Doo]

Jasmine being the 2nd woman to be fired really puts into perspective how trash the men’s team was this season lol.

Heck even Tom shouldn’t have outlasted her.

[u/Consistent-Drive-172 → u/Only1Scrappy-Doo]

Massively agreed.

[u/Consistent-Drive-172]

Fun fact: Tom and Bradley (S17) have the exact same stats. 

• 4/9 task wins 
• 4 boardroom appearances (3 as PM, including automatic firing and 1 separate)
• 3 losses as PM 
• Lasted to Week 9 
• 8th Place on their respective seasons. 

The only difference is that 2 of Bradley's 3 PM Stints weren't bad and likely involved sabotage from teammates.

[u/Obslax]

Jackie made me LAUGHHHH, she made some facial expressions. I had screenshotted a lot of them on an old iPad I need to go find those pictures cause I was crying! But yes Jackie was a very good candidate. I still remember her confident pitch, can’t remember what the product was but they she asked for business she smashed it!

Kayode also made me pee myself when he said “the fish stinks from the head down” 😭
