Rachel Woolford is the favourite to win this year's final of The Apprentice
This week sees the final of The Apprentice air on BBC One and we now have a new favourite to win the show with Rachel Woolford leading the way in OLBG's hypothetical market,
Woolford was one of two candidates put through to the final by Lord Sugar after last week's Interviews task which saw the remaining five grilled by Sugar's aides.
Despite losing in 9 out of the 11 tasks over the series, Phil Turner was also put through to the final by Lord Sugar as he commended for his business as a Pie company owner.
OLBG have looked at the potential odds for the winner of The Apprentice this year with a 60% chance that it's Rachel who is hired by Lord Sugar as his next Apprentice.
| The Apprentice 2024 Winner | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Rachel Woolford | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Phil Turner | 2/1 | 33.3% |

What the expert says...
Former favourite Flo Edwards was one of three fired in last week's Interviews task
Flo Edwards had been favourite for a large spell of this year's Apprentice due to her impressive record week-by-week in the tasks but that all changed this week.
Flo was fired by Lord Sugar at the Interview stage due to her business lacking the appropriate financial structure that was needed for him to consider investing.
Lord Sugar's reasoning for firing Flo was given in last week's episode, saying, “Flo, I think you’ve underestimated the difficulty it’s going to be in starting from scratch. It is going to be hard".
