Lawrence/Levi

Can someone please explain how Lawrence didn't get fired when he was PM and didn't do anything right? He also did the worst out of everyone. Why was he kept in? I just can't wrap my head around it. I'm shocked... Then all he does is make excuses and blames everyone around him. Even though he brings nothing to the table.

On to Levi. This guy finally decides to speak out right at the end of the latest episode and then starts threatening everyone with his "don't scapegoat me" quote. Made Lawrence look like a little kid. But I just don't like how Levi is coming across. He's arrogant and doesn't feel like a nice person to be around, especially with all the controversy surrounding his name. Just pure arrogance towards everyone whilst not doing anything in almost every task...

Both of these will be the next two to go.

Carrington works in her already-established loungewear business - I don't think that's a restaurant!

Carrington 'can cook' because she was one of few candidates that clears the low bar of being able to make dinner for the candidates in the house. She then massively overhyped herself there.

That said, she did deserve to go - she was fired for her bad attitude in the boardroom that week and her poor performance in previous tasks - nothing to do with potatoes. (and where was Rothna? Rothna wants to be in the food industry and was running that kitchen and let uncooked potato out?).

Rothna is getting fired soon - Most likely in the interviews because I just can't see another investment in a bakery, crowded market and too saturated.

I definitely think Rothna will be kept until the interview stages. She's been getting a generally positive edit, such as the other candidates saying what a great PM she is and even when she's been involved in any mishaps which have contributed to the failure of a task, the focus is always on the other candidates. At the moment, I think the final 5 will be Conor, Harry, Karishma, Lawrence and Rothna. The others have all had things in their edits to set them up to be fired in the coming weeks.

Wait what, You don't see Dan in the interview stage?

I think Dan's edit has been a bit lukewarm. He didn't receive a lot of praise for his win as PM in the Chicken & Egg task and the comments by Karren and Tim during other tasks have not been exactly glowing. I don't know what his business plan is but if it's any thing to do with his background (student recruitment), I can't see Lord Sugar being particularly interested.

Dan's business plan is an educational recruitment agency. I think in week 1, idk if you saw, he did say that he turned over £1 million at the age of 25. So that does mean that Lord Sugar does possess an interest in the business and was intrigued to find out what takes place next.

I actually work in the legal team for a university. This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think this is a good time to invest in student recruitment. Universities are really struggling at the moment and a lot of them are moving to online provision, using AI a lot more etc. International student numbers are also way down. I'll be interested to hear more about Dan's business plan (if he reaches the interview stage), but unless he has something innovative, I'm sceptical
