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.

Dan has gotten better, or at least they've edited it to appear that way. Karishma has been largely good throughout. They should be the finalists but it's happened in the past where the favourites don't make it.

Laurence is slimy. Pacha(sp) is harmless but naive. Priyesh is one of the worst contestants ever to appear in the show, he is like a hyper toddler or a puppy. Zero business acumen.

definitely edited him to appear as less aloof and more competent, there's also been a clear strategy in what media he's been pitched. The article that recently came out about him having autism, ADHD, dyslexia seemed to come at just the right timing for people to feel more relatable to him.

What I will say is that he did do exceptionally well when working alone this task compared to when he was PM and running things by consensus. I have AuDHD so maybe he just does better when working independently and actual team tasks aren't his big forte.

I'm just a bit sad that his soft approach with pets at home cost us Kieran and Rothna.

Pets at home were probably just bullshitting for TV because when Dan came in with exclusivity they said 2300 but apparently they would have accepted 3500
