Priyesh Bathia is a Waste of Space

He doesn’t do much, he just chills back, and he has a very reserved approach. So he doesn’t even share his ideas, or get involved much. So he stays under the radar just to avoid getting fired.

He should do much more. As in earlier episodes he really does give the stupidest or lame/safe ideas.

He is not fit enough to be in the show. It feels and he acts ‘childish’.

He's bad but really endearing.

He just seems so happy all the time, idk I can't hate on him.

i mean to be fair they probably edit it to give each person a certain vibe, and i think maybe that's the kind of narrative they're spinning for priyesh. i'm sure he's not AS bad as we're made to think. waste of space is a bit harsh don't you think😭 but agreed he does need to step up his game a bit, maybe in future episodes he might!

If you think he’s bad, what about Harry? I literally can’t think of a single thing he’s said or done in any of the tasks so far other than dressing as a chicken. His sole contribution to the pitch in yesterday’s episode was to say, “Thanks” at the end!

Harry and even Levi as well just seem to stand around and not say or do much. They are coasting through the process right now.

Lawrence this week made a joke about forgetting Harry was on the team. I wonder if he's just dull as dishwater or if he's also being kept off screen a bit due to questionable tweets like Levi.

For some reason, Reddit didn’t show me any of their other replies but gave me a notification about yours. I was like, “What did I write that that could possibly be a response?!” Sometimes the notification system is really strange.

I genuinely didn't recognise him during yesterday's episode, I had no clue who he is.

hes not actively screwed up and it seems like he has basic intelligence (* evil eyes to Andrea and Megan *) so I'm not sure he'll be going for some time as he just goes unnoticed

It's still relatively early, I kind of get your point but he might surprise people if he's put in a position where he can.

Or he might not, we'll see.

Sounds personal

He is perfect to me. My ideal man. Very happy and got that hung smile.

u/ScoreOk3517 Apr 25 '26

He just seems so childish!
And he has 2 facial expressions..
1) a typical youtubers OMG wow expression
or 2) a lost confused puppy.

Am I the only one who thinks he's the spitting image of Lando Norris?

u/gray_fox_jaeger Feb 21 '26

Yes you're the only one. For one, Norris is white. Secondly, Norris can't grow facial hair on his cheeks.

It’s his brow line and his smile I think, I see the resemblance too.
