Noorul ChoudhuryNoorul ChoudhuryHe might be the jammiest Apprentice candidate ever but Noorul Choudhury couldn't sneak past Sir Alan Sugar for another week.

We caught up with him to find out why he thinks he should have survived.


Do you think Sir Alan made the right decision?
No, I think Sir Alan made the wrong decision, but of course I'm going to say that - I wanted to go on and win. Out of the five of us on the team Debra and I played an integral role. Ben completely crumbled under the pressure and totally lost control of the team.

What do you think of Ben? He can be quite aggressive.

I'll be totally honest, he's a nice guy. He does contribute, I'm not going to take that away from him, he's had great moments like coming up with the pirate theme on the cereal task. He's got passion and he wants to win, but it does come across as very desperate at times.

When he's in the boardroom he thinks that only his points are valid. It's something he'll learn as he gets older. He'll be successful - but whether it's with Sir Alan, I don't know. I don't think he's the kind of person Sir Alan's looking for, he rubs people the wrong way.

Some of your colleagues felt you should have been fired sooner, what do you think of that?
I question that. I don't think anybody's said that at all. I did everything that was asked of me. I question why I've been portrayed in the way I have done.

Do you think that quietly getting on with it did you a disservice in Sir Alan's eyes?
No, Sir Alan bases his decision on feedback from Nick and Margaret, and obviously his own instinct but Nick and Margaret aren't always with us so they miss out on things.

If other people want to make a fool of themselves and show the arrogant, cocky side to themselves just to get more air time then let them do it. I treated it as a job interview, I let the project manager manage the task, and clearly I didn't do anything wrong otherwise I wouldn't have survived to week six.

Let's be honest, the task you project managed was a disaster.
I would not have done anything differently in that task. I might be a chemist, but had I made bubble bath in my life? No. It wasn't a walk in the park task for me. I suppose when you look at it we could have done things differently but everyone is under pressure and you go with what you have to go with.

Who do you want to win?
Someone who's coming out really well, and is such a lovely girl is Kate. I definitely think one of the girls are going to win. You've got Yasmina, Debra, Lorraine's a bit of a dark horse. Even James is showing a different side to him. It could be any one of them.
