Dara Obriain is much more fun on You’re Fired than Adrian Childs. Mind you some may say that root canal surgery is more fun than Adrian Childs. Dara is delightfully sceptical about the whole Apprentice process; not I think especially fond of the Good lord! Sugar; and conveys just the right blend of astonishment, vicarious embarrassment, justifiably cynical analysis of motives, and downright exasperation that The Apprentice and Apprentices in the Class of 2011 demand and deserve.

This programme was Dara’s ‘Greatest Hits’. So as a series aide memoir, with the final coming up on Sunday, and irrespective of whether one of Dara’s or not, I invite you all to contribute to the ‘best of’ 2011. Add to this list below if you can think of any I’ve missed. Then pick your top 10. Plus if you want, tell us who you think will win on Sunday.

Think that covers 'em! There've been some great ones.
On Dara - I was very disappointed with last night's offering. It felt contrived, repetitive and not very entertaining.
