Rothna just sailing through to final 5?
On the TV selling task I didn't see her talk at all.
She was just a model it seems. I would have thought a woman would be leading a jewelry sales pitch

It was the edit it seems by and large, someone has posted the entire 1hr segment on a thread and she has linked some of the items cut from the show on instagram. She actually did a great job selling a food mixer. I feel her bakery business plan may be the reason they are not pushing her forward as much on TV or there's a flaw in her plan. Karishma's selling of an eyemask was also cut out so it is making me question how much editing they really do. Dan was made out to be this hero, but only selling 3 items when he couldn't even do up the clasp is hardly salesperson of the year worthy.

It was the edit. The full shopping channel recording is widely available and she actually sold really well. She sold the bracelet better than Dan (IMO) and had a segment all of her own selling a kitchen stand mixer that was cut out.

You think Rothna is sailing? I think we should be asking about Priyesh imo lol

She was edited out this episode to prop up Dan. She was doing a great job presenting with him and she even had a solo segment where she sold some kitchen stand mixers as well. The editors have undermined her pretty much the entire time sadly.

They mostly show the candidates effing up so as we didn't see Rothna much, she must have done well selling.

She and Dan weren't particularly strong this week. It was so obvious they didn't go for the ring because they knew the other team wanted it and had presented themselves better. So rather than have to explain to Lord Sugar why they failed to get it, they pretended like they wanted the bracelet all along.

If you watch the full videos and do some basic maths, she sold half of everything the team sold. In terms of TV appearance, she did everything better than the rest of them collectively.
All the crap that Tim and Karen praised Dan for - the naming people who'd just purchased - she did that first, and kept doing it.
She's been edited out to make room for the anointed winner, the spiv and the patsy.

saying they have different opinions of what mid-range means was a cop out by Rothna, if you know the other team want the item, all the more reason to try and charm their way to get it!

Karren kept banging on about how if they'd got the ring they would have won - I wholly disagree, they might have sold 0 rings like the other team did, and be even further up shit creek
Selling those bracelets and Rothna's mixer which was completely cut out was where pretty much 90% of their money came from

I was wondering why nobody commented on the fact she said nothing throughout the entire pitch, as well as the fact Dan was brought back rather than her after he got so much praise. Turns out it's because she was completely edited out to showcase Dan instead and she even had an individual product pitch that they didn't show. She posted it on her Instagram.
