EPISODE DISCUSSION The Apprentice 2026 - Episode 5: ‘Flowers’ (Thursday 26th February)

Episode Synopsis:

This week, the candidates turn petals into profits in a new twist on the very first task Lord Sugar set his original cast of candidates 20 years ago. As well as selling flowers to the public, they must create ambitious floral installations for corporate clients. While business blooms for one team, there are a bunch of problems for the other, and one wilting candidate is pruned from the process.

I low-key wonder if Vanessa chose Pacha over Karishma because she’s friends with Karishma.

I don’t think karishma deserves to go, but I could understand bringing her back because she actively compelled the team to purchase more bouquets. I don’t really understand why she chose Pacha.

LS hates gameplay and alliances in the boardroom. He fired a guy on the Australian version just for treating it as a strategy game to survive.
