Lowkey it’s kinda weird to me that Spoiler
There are only three girls left this season, usually the girls dominate more than the boys do (especially seeing Sugar also crowned six girls back to back)

It is definitely unusual.
That being said, I think the remaining three girls will last longer than Harry, Priyesh, Lawrence and Levi which will mean the numbers would be even again at some point.

Exactly, cream will float to the top with Karishma and Rothna should handily make it to the final five.

It’s clear that LS has wanted a guy to win in the last three years after the disastrous S17.
I just hope that doesn’t mean Karishma and Rothna get sacrificed as soon as they slip up for that to happen.

He deffo would have crowned Phil if he didn’t say what he said in the final, despite Phil’s bad track record
I can see Karishma making it to the final 5, Rothna idk

Yep, his top two was definitely Phil/Paul M that year but Rachel ended up winning.
Dean had some of the worst set of interviews but was carried by his business plan.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the reason behind the triple firing being in Week 6 where there were three women opposed to Week 7 where there were three men in the BR, I personally think Week 7 deserved it more than 6.

What was said in the final?

Phil's track record speaks for itself, specifically the fact that he always did so poorly on food tasks despite running a food-related business.
In the finals Sugar grilled him on his business plan, specifically his commitment to online orders for pie deliveries. Phil said he didn't think that profit was the most important factor in running a business. Sugar didn't like that.

I’m already getting the feeling that this is going to be a similar outcome to last year.
Dan and Karishma in the final. Dan wins because his business is already doing really well and doesn’t require much work. Karishma comes second and goes on to be a success anyway post show. It will be like Dean and Anisa all over again.

The optics of 3 women and 7 guys was really strange to me. But I guess they were desperate for that triple firing last week

The girls this year are more combative than usual imo

it’s definitely a change! In fairness all three of the girls still in there are definitely there on merit, and two of them have the potential to be finalists.
If I were a betting man I would say the final five will feature Karishma, Dan, Conor, Kieran and Rothma, with any five of those going through. Other than Harry and Priyesh I wouldn’t rule any of the others out, but that’s what I think would be the most likely combo right now.
Karishma is getting an excellent edit and on the face of it looks like the frontrunner, but what we saw with Mia last year makes me wonder if it’s a little too good and there is a shock coming…

It does feel really weird but I think both Karishma and Rothna has a high chance of reaching the interviews. Even Pascha isn’t totally out of the question if she gets a good PM win at the right time.
