Candidates
See also: List of The Apprentice candidates (UK series one)There were fourteen candidates for this series, and they were initially separated into two teams by gender. The women chose the name First Forte for their team, while the men named their team Impact. Curiously, the two eventual finalists never worked together on the same team - Tim and Saira were on opposing teams every week. Two candidates - Adenike and Miranda - never got the chance to be project manager.
The candidates were:

Famous quotes containing the word candidates:
“Latin America is very fond of the word “hope.” We like to be called the “continent of hope.” Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves “candidates of hope.” This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
“Which one of the three candidates would you want your daughter to marry?”
—H. Ross Perot (b. 1930)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
