Karishma is absolutely carrying this. Looks like she’ll be PM next week and I hope she smashes it, by far the most competent and likeable too. I also think it’ll be an easier watch when Kieran and Andrea get fired which surely won’t be too far away.

Karishma carrying the team and winning as PM I know that’s right! In spite of how poor some of the cast are this year, she more than makes up for it. I really hope she doesn’t have an awful week and gets fired because by now she easily comes across as the most competent and so endearing too.

Was gutted for Roxanne but she didn’t take responsibility for her faults, if she did I think Conor or Rajan would have definitely gone, the latter for sabotaging the pitch and the former for having zero direction as PM.

It was nice to see a team do well not just because they were less crap.

It was one instance of them deserving a treat.

Is it just me or so they not show the treats anymore?

Probably saving money - so no treat

I agree - it was great to see a team actually do well as a whole (even if Kieran was a part of it and was actually pretty competent), Rothna has proven herself to be a great leader with her head screwed on, redemption after her poor first week and meddling time since!

I really liked Vanessa but it really all went wrong for her this week, poor communication between teams, not knowing how much of a terrible idea the devil horn flower wall and pushing for more bouquets (which is admittedly my girl’s fault and I’m glad she survived) left them doomed and I think she knew from the moment she walked into the boardroom before the results were announced that they’d lost and she was f***ed.

Our first triple firing since 2017.

Carrington's oversight on not checking if the food is edible or not is probably what did it for her.

The corporate clients are never going to be fully satisfied if they put the candidates fully in charge of the food.

That’s my fav task each year but as you say if they are doing the cooking it’s never gonna go well!

OOF!

That was so rough but as much as I love Carrington, it was correct that she went with the other two. Poor track record and messed up her responsibilities that she was pretty confident with, cooking wedges is not hard especially when you have more time than planned because of the rest of the team being late. Megan was as useless as expected and Andrea once again doing nothing but talking and sounding like an idiot, no way they should have gone any further.

Really warmed to Priyesh this episode, he’s actually pretty sweet and clearly dedicated when he knows he can apply himself to something that he’s confident with. Karishma is still by miles the winner for me, favourite contestant in years!

Never even set eyes on the TL of the winning team this week, never saw him before this week!

You baked a cake, but it doesn't make you Mr Kipling!

Cackled!

The winning team was all down to Karishma and not Harry, I’m glad she got her flowers because she really is a powerhouse. If she doesn’t win the whole thing I’ll be annoyed.

This really should have been another triple firing, but how on earth Lawrence survived is beyond me, he’s absolutely foul and gave the team nothing to work with so he knew that he could gaslight them and throw them under the bus. I actually think he might be worse than Kieran now.

Sugar raging she stole that one off him!

Karishma carried her team. I feel Harry was only made PM as a potential scapegoat if they lost.

Lawrence is lucky that his track record in the process is decent enough, as that would otherwise be an easy firing.

I'll be surprised if either him or Levi last much longer.

GOD that was a dull episode.

Karishma screams winner.

I kind of get why they thought it was rude but it's the sort of thing Lord Sugar would come out with (and they wouldn't have an issue).

Ugh that really does confirm that Kieran is making to the interviews at the soonest, although he’ll be torn limb from limb which will make a great watch, as long as he makes it no further.

Harry was probably more cooked from the moment they lost and he was on borrowed time, but he was a nice lad.

Were the accusations about Levi confirmed to be true? Him and Rothna seemed to make a pretty good duo.

Harry seemed like a lovely guy, I'd have liked him to stay more than Kieran but I could tell Lord Sugar likes Kieran more (these type of characters are catnip for him lmao, the cheeky chappies/arrogant kind) so I wasn't too suprised that he didn't get fired but sad for Harry nonetheless.

Karishma really is carrying this series. And I suspect that mean (as seems to be routine now) she'll be binned at interviews for having a crap business plan. 🤣

I only really knew Harry was f***ed after they gave their reasons to stay... I turned to the other half and was like "well the other two have a convincing argument, at least...". Can't say I've noticed him much throughout the season, so it was probably his time to go (even if Kieran probably should have gone too, but a fair bit of that could well be any of the edit/a good business plan/Alan liking his personality for TV)

I actually really enjoyed that episode, and I don't think anyone on either team was that bad (for once) so I can see why the firing was a tough decision. I do like the Isle of Wight too so it was nice to see them running around familiar places. The sweets though...how did one team not pick them up at all? Every seaside town (and they went to many while aimlessly driving around) would have had them.
