Kate was a real cow to her, just wasting her time on that task with the awful Phillip. She should have been in the final or even Debra, but definitely not Kate. Good Luck Lorraine, Mon 08 Jun 2009 20:38:54 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=19#comment172 she scares me! Mon 08 Jun 2009 19:11:20 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=19#comment171 Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Lorraine has been fired well isn't that a releif. If you ask me she should have gone along time ago. Yes she's not bad but there has just been way better in the apprentice this year. Also why is it she keeps slipping in to an irish accent now and then, has anyone else noticed this? Sun 07 Jun 2009 16:13:39 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=19#comment170 Lorraine,Sorry you didn't make it to the final. You should be proud of you achievements in the show and in life.Good luck in the future - I know you will find success in whatever you do.All the best.

Fri 05 Jun 2009 12:21:16 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=19#comment168 I think that she was the best there better than the others they are all crap Fri 05 Jun 2009 07:54:01 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=19#comment167 As time went on, she grew on me. 'Cassandra' did end up being quite likeable, down-to-earth and honest. I admired the way she stood up to that slime-ball Ben, and for having the guts to mention the schmoozy relationship he was having with Kate. Good on ya Lorraine, you entertained us for a while at least!

I wonder why Thu 04 Jun 2009 15:41:32 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment165 your fired ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Thu 04 Jun 2009 14:59:24 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment164 I thought she was great and that she should of won best by far better than the rest of them and i wish her the best in the future! Thu 04 Jun 2009 14:07:27 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment163 whata going on with the irish accent? Wed 03 Jun 2009 20:18:55 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment162 Believe in yourself! Your are better than most of them. Wed 03 Jun 2009 19:14:41 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment161 I'm wavering on this one. Sometimes she hits the nail on the head and other times she seems to be deliberately irritating. If she goes on about her "instinct" again tonight I'm going to scream into the nearest cushion. The last few times her famous instinct has been wrong, so leave it out now, love. That dreadful cat craft thing she chose last week was a classic example of why she doesn't have the business instinct; Kate's jacket and chip maker were inspired choices, just a pity that Howard and Lorraine couldn't sell. Wed 03 Jun 2009 18:46:45 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment160 Not a particularly awe-inspiring bunch this year, but Lorraine has a sound head on her shoulders. She has more than once been brow-beaten by the rest, when she actually had it spot on! Lone parents have to be multi-taskers, time managers, budgeters, practical, good communicators...I reckon she'll win - good luck to ya!! Wed 03 Jun 2009 18:32:19 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=18#comment159 If someone says don't underestimate them, then you shouldn't as they may just surprise you! People underestimate me too and when she says she is a slow burner in the thought process I know what she means as it takes time to think about something and see it happening before you go for it. And for that reason I think she'll win! But then again you never know who Sir Alan will fire or hire as my predictions always seem to be wrong.

You're going Tonight!hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha. Wed 03 Jun 2009 13:25:41 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment156 Sorry but I have to disagree with you jackstar41. Lorraine just really annoys me, Like she says she's a slow burner in the thought process which arn't good qualities for sir Allens new apprentice. So personnally I think Lorraine should have gone instead of Howard, as her choice of products wern't good and she didn't do particually well selling them either on all the tasks, she relies to much on her so called " buissness sence" what a load of rubbish!!!!! Lorraine prepared to be fired next week!!!! Mon 01 Jun 2009 16:55:16 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment155 Lorraine went to school, completing 2 or 3 years of secondary school in Ireland. That would be the equivalent of a Phd in the English education system. Fri 29 May 2009 23:27:55 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment154 I think Lorraine will go in the interviews Fri 29 May 2009 11:56:17 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment153 wtf does she keep goin irish? shes off er ed!shes a legend tho go on lorraine! Fri 29 May 2009 00:48:27 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment152 She seems to be a nice person but i find her incredibly annoying! Yes she has had a tough background but so have many people who have stumbled their way into business. Yes that is right ,"business" so what i would like her to do is stick with business and not sob stories! However she seems to have guts and good intelligence. Good luck! Thu 28 May 2009 14:06:15 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment151 Lorraine, showed good thought process and intelligence prior to going into the boardroom and when in there. (Only watched last 20 mins - footie)Her assessment of Howard and the task with regards Personality was correct.She clearly has good oratory skills and intellect and I expect her to apply them during the much anticipated interview stage. Thu 28 May 2009 11:20:46 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment150 Sob story or not, she rubs people up the wrong way and I, personally, would not enjoy working with her. She really needs to go now before we hear anymore of this "I said that early on..." but did nothing about it. Boring. Sir Alan, what are doing????? Wed 27 May 2009 21:22:15 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment149 Sorry posted last comment before I had finished....... Just imagine if we all had to be beautiful before we could be taken seriously on a professional level?? I wonder how many of us would be earning a decent wage??? Or any wage at all. Interesting thought.Anyway I am a firm Lorraine supporter and I really hope that she wins this. Good luck Lorraine and don't let the pointless comments get you down girl. Wed 27 May 2009 18:52:08 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=17#comment148 good luck to lorraine tonight, i hope she does well. Sounds like she's having a hard time (stories this week in various newspapers and mags)!?!. All she has done is entered in to "The Apprentice" not "Ms World" Wed 27 May 2009 18:30:05 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=16#comment147 I think Lorraine is a strong contender as she has impressed sralan so far and we all know that's pretty tough in itself. I do think she has had an unfair time of it with Phil bullying her like he did but she showed she had teeth in the boardroom, respect! Wed 27 May 2009 17:10:43 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=16#comment146 I am totally behind Lorraine. She deserves it all x Mon 25 May 2009 07:54:04 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=16#comment145 I cannot believe that Lorraine is still using that word "instinct" My instincts says this.... my instincts thinks that...Hello ...I have £25k to invest Lorraine, do I a) go on my instincts and invest in this X company or b) shall I do thorough research, ask pertinent questions and use my business acumen before I make my decision?C) None of the above - I am a slow burner and need more time to think. Fri 22 May 2009 09:04:36 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=16#comment144 I would given a chance work for this woman tommorow. A real gem in the sales world. Good luck girl hope you do it. Thu 21 May 2009 20:27:34 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=16#comment143 Mental as anything but much more of a real person than the rest - flaws and all. The others are so up themselves I am amazed they can see where they are going. Thu 21 May 2009 13:01:57 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates/biographies/c_400007.shtml?page=16#comment142 I want Lorraine to win. She is perceptive (a Cassandra), clear thinking, honest, straightforward and humble enough to admit when she has made an oversight/mistake, making her a good learner. She deserves to be Sir Alan's apprentice.
