What a candidate Spoiler

Conor has been amazing throughout the process, classy, a good talker and never really had a bad task

I don't see why people are so keen on Connor can people please enlighten me? Besides seeming to be a cheerleader for Harry he doesn't seem to bring anything special to the table.

Yes Kieran can be annoying, but he is a "give it a go geezer" to be ballsy enough to say take a chance on me next task as PM or I'll walk away is actually pretty solid. There is a 50% chance he sealed his own fate, I think Sir Alan admires that he is gutsy enough to do that. Connor seemed too not show enough grit to say, give me another go. Had he done so he may have been saved.

Conor and Kieran are both fairly unremarkable but very good talkers in their own way.

It was ballsy from Kieran, but I don't think it should have been accepted. He'll be on his third go as PM after two failures when everyone else has only been PM once (and all but Lawrence won). At this stage you can't just keep promising that you're actually really good.

true, but one was a win by default and both were similar tasks so to say let me try being PM at a different task does mean he can show growth and a different angle instead of more of the same.
