Sralun will definitely bin him THE SECOND he gets the chance. Liam is an absolute simpleton.

He was bailed out by dreamy, competent Mia and they won despite him, not because of him. He is a thick dork

If Mia’s business plan ticks all the boxes, she’s won. Visibly shedding early contest nerves and insomnia, it’s ridiculous how good she is compared to the pack.

Yep.

Looking at the competition, Dean is a spiv who is prepared to take a chance but doesn't instill any confidence. Chisola is enthusiastic but offers little else, Amber-Rose is bland, Jordan is a gobshite with a comically inflated opinion of himself. He is literate and can sell, but is utterly devoid of any ideas or thinking outside the box. Anisa hasn't shown much, except she was meant to be a culinary expert and yet invented the worst hot sauce you will ever see. That leaves Liam. Liam is as thick as mince, utter cringe and a total embarrassment.

Mia is streets ahead of all of them.

I quite like laidback Dean. Tonight’s ending boiled down to ye olde British class war, the posh All England Lawn Tennis boy looked down on the oik who wanted to press some buttons :lol: .

Yes, Dean is not unlikeable. But that's now 4 boardroom appearances in a row. It was clear the first two times Sugar was never going to sack him, but now alarm bells are ringing. He needs a good performance in case he ends up on the losing side next week and isn't on the same team as Liam.

At this stage, all the nsc cynics educated me, aren’t the producers/Sugars advisors basing it on who has a viable business plan in a sector that interests Sugar? With an overrider that plainly awful/argumentative candidates get booted out.

Didn't Liam used to be in Eastenders? He should stick to acting.

I reckon Dean is kept in because Sugar thinks he looked like him when he was young. He's fukken useless too.

Liam reminds me of Harry Kane when he speaks. Has messed up a few pitches and was useless selling live on the shopping channel. Mia rightly took control through most of their brainstorming, secured the star item and just excels in all areas compared to the rest.
Amber-Rose is the only other one who has looked alright on some tasks. Think these two could be the finalists

I think this is probably the ploy from week 1. There’s probably only 2-3 business plans that are viabke, and they’ll be protected until the interview stage; the rest of the contestants are just there for the entertainment and LOLs.

As usual, it’ll almost certainly be a women that wins as the blokes left are useless. Im convinced that this is because men are generally self-confident risk takers, and a bloke with a genuinely solid business plan will go it alone rather than feel that they need to go though a convoluted and potentially humiliating process to get backing.

There were some outstanding male contestants a long time back eg Tim and a recruiting headhunter guy who won, seems like an age ago. For many years now the producers seem to target a large cohort of jokers or people who love to clash ….. it’s keep us entertained in our home. A really sensible business ideas contest with 18 intelligent and street sense contestants wouldn’t be for us.

That is absolute nonsense. The best person on every task from the start makes one mistake, not even as PM or sub-PM, and gets fired. Proof if it was needed that the business plans dictate who gets through from the beginning and the whole show is a charade.

All the finalists are absolutely clueless.

That should be the final nail in the coffin for the show. Mia was the outstanding candidate throughout. Anisa who made the awful sauce was allowed to survive after being told every candidate was allowed 'one big mistake', but Mia wasn't?
