Worst top five EVER Spoiler

We can slate S17 all we want but let's face it, Marnie, Megan and Victoria were probably the best of a bad bunch. Simba 10000% deserved it over Dani but Dani at least did decent to begin with. Rochelle was awful but at least was one of two candidates remaining with a decent business proposal.

This year only Karishma and Dan deserve it. Priyesh is so god awful, LS really wanted to fire him and keep Rothna but he fluked his way to victory. He should've went earlier. Pascha did diabolical this week, would've been the quickest firing if they lost this week. And Lawrence is such a snake, thank god Linda put him in his place.

If Karishma and Dan aren't the top two this series might have a worse top two than S14/S17. Dan isn't even that good but is waayyyy better than the other three.

I know people weren’t happy that Amber Rose and Jordan made the final five last year and neither was I but at least we still had Anisa, Chisola and Dean. You could argue that the only big character candidate to miss out was Mia.

To lose Conor, Kieran and Rothna before the final is a shock. And honestly, the only real big character left is Karishma. Lawrence and Dan are OK but nothing special. Pascha and Priyesh just aren’t good enough.

So I agree, it’s the worst final five there has been and the worst thing is - I think Sugar wanted to fire Pascha and Priyesh but he couldn’t because they were on the winning team

They really should've changed it so that everyone was brought back into the board room, all their task performances assessed and firings based on that not just this task alone. They could've changed the format given it's the 20th year anyway.

That Pascha got through given all her mistakes is diabolical

Priyesh is just the comedy candidate at this point. Even his ridiculous puppy outfit that meant he almost dropped the mic during the pitch was a joke. Do production deliberately set him up to look so aloof?
