Interesting she refused to appear on You've been fired after

She went on TikTok to explain why.

 

She said that she was edited badly and that LS told her that she had to make all the decisions as PM (not shown), although neither explain what actually resulted.

 

Re: not going on You're Fired, she claimed it was in solidarity with Asif (who was cut from it earlier in the series).

Tre will probably win it.

It'll definitely be Tre or Flo

How has Phil made it to the interview stage? he must be the luckiest person ever on The Apprentice! Tre should win based on performance throughout the competition and he's the only person to win two tasks as project manager. However now it's just going to come down to whoever has the business plan that Lord Sugar likes the most so that could give Phil more of a chance.

His business is very, very successful apparently...

 

My money would be on him to win at this point!

This series has just been the biggest mess of any I can recall :drama: I'm backing Paul for the win now, and he seems to be in a really good position right now where he has Sugar's respect from performance in the tasks, so hoping his business plan can hold up in a similar vein to Leah Totton.

 

 

I think it’s a pretty strong final 5 - apart from Phil who must have a good business as people are saying.

Can confirm Phil's business is pretty successful - he's got a pie shop in my hometown and a few others nearby, it's always busy (though I think they're overpriced and not actually that great)! The fact he's got this far despite so many losses definitely makes it seem like Lord Sugar wants to invest and I think it'd be a smart choice. I can see Tre getting it too, he seems quite style over substance at times but he's clearly got experience.

 

Quite jarring how often I see this year's contestants posting Tiktoks hanging out together after throwing each other under the bus on the show, I think I'd hold more of a grudge :lol:

I didn’t think Raj deserved to go to be fair, yes she made some mistakes but her performance throughout the show has been fairly consistent.

 

Phil getting to where he is astounds me but it’s like that first winner with the nail file, we lost every task and then won the whole thing while the woman he was up against won every task then lost. Clearly it comes down to the business that they have.

I respect Paul soooo much for that!

Paul was my winner, but i'm fine with Rachel winning as she has been great. I like Phil but haven't been sold on his business just yet.

Really glad Paul didn't just cave in for the sake of progressing to the final as he clearly knows the worth of his business. Sugar just came across greedy wanting a stake in both when the likeliness is the new branch would be just as successful so he'd still be making mega money... :lol:

 

Would have liked Paul to win, and it's a shame Flo's business plan was as tragic as it was because she'd have been next in line. Rachel has to win this now because if she doesn't then Phil winning just summarises what an absolute car crash this series has been from start to finish :drama:

Paul definitely made the right decision not giving in to Lord Sugar's demand and besides getting into the final is no guarantee of winning the competition. It definitely shows that he would have been a finalist and probably the winner. I can only see Phil winning it now after making it this far and it's linked to the food industry which Alan Sugar seems to like the most based on past finalists.

Yeah, I think Phil's got the win in the bag now

Mike Soutar is the deadliest of all the interviewers. The level of precision that he has with the research he does is scary and the way he buys domain names before the candidates and then sells them back is vicious :lol: , him making Tre drink the whole sample of his own drink was very funny also :lol:

Big respect to Paul for doing what he did and not caving in.

 

Imagine asking Lord Sugar for half of his business for a fraction of the price :lol:

 

Phil winning would feel hilarious given he’s lost all but one task but he is pretty likeable and I genuinely don’t think he was ever solely responsible for the failure he was just pretty unlucky. I do think lord Sugar must see something in either Phil or his business though else he’d have been gone but it makes you think the likes of Raj for example just weren’t for him given she went the second she was on the losing team.

 

Rachel has been strong too. Interesting final to call as he’s recently invested in fitness based business with Marnie and there’s been a few bakery / desert based winners but not necessarily the pie market?

Paul the honourary winner.

I respect Paul so much for not giving up all his business and knowing his worth.

 

Why would he give half of his business away therefore make half the profit in order to set up a new dentist where he would also make half the profit giving him pretty much the exact same income across two businesses as he has now while Alan gets not just one business worth of profits but two for a fraction of what either business is or will be worth? Alan just came across as greedy.

 

Based on the series overall Rachel deserved to win more than Phil so her winning was the right result. Phil messed it up for himself when he said business is not all about making profits, that was a really dumb thing to say at the worst possible time. 2 years in a row of a gym being what wins the investment from Lord Sugar and the streak of female winners continues.

I'm quite shocked Sugar ended up going with Rachel given Marnie's win last year, but her winning was the only thing that could've saved this series so thank god for that :drama:

 

I do think now would be a good time for them to shake up the format a little bit, or condense it to a smaller number of episodes. I wouldn't mind having just an 8 episode series - 6 tasks, interviews, then the final (and a much smaller cast too - 18 always seems a stupendous number for a show like The Apprentice).
