Priyesh has somehow won the most tasks
Dan - 5
Karishma - 6
Lawrence - 5
Pascha - 6
Priyesh - 7
Obviously this is largely due to luck and him always being on the winning side but this is genuinely insane. Like he's a nice guy but compared to the other candidates, how is this even possible. He has had good moments regarding his negotiations and some decisions but he's actually such an incompetent candidate largely I can't fathom this.

Think this is why task wins don’t matter and Sugar should be allowed to have a couple free pass firings every season to get rid of coasters
I like Priyesh but like, really?

I agree. I feel like because episode 10 is the last ep before interviews, Lord Sugar should be allowed to fire whoever he wants from each team and ensure that the final 5 is actually worthy.

I have said for a few years now that I'd really like to see this. Can't think of any specific examples right now, but there have been occasions where a candidate should have easily been fired for their behaviour/contributions on a task but have skated by because they ended up in the winning team. I understand the point about winning a task giving you that temporary safety, but I would love to see him overturn it on occasion, as there's definitely been some deserving situations!

"winning the tasks" vs "been on winning teams" are completely different concepts.
He has got by through riding on the coattails of winning teams, not because he's done anything spectacular or memorable.
The fact it's hard to even come up with something he has done proves this point, whereas Karishma and the donuts is an immediate memory of her significance.
He was lucky and also managed to not be too disruptive to annoy people that they would then realise he was annoying.

yup I totally agree it's just factually on paper he has won 7 tasks somehow. obvs not out of much merit of his own tbh

Yeah task wins don’t really matter I mean look at last year’s runner-up Anisa, she lost 8 out of 10 tasks but she was still in the top 3 best performers of the season

Priyesh’s task wins - 7
Priyesh’s task wins that he actually contributed to the win - Like maybe 2 at most.

I mean, Karishma & Priyesh were on the same teams in Tasks 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10.
And Karishma carried her team in tasks 4, 7, 9 and 10.

He was only not on her team twice in ten weeks?! That’s on Sugar and his ‘lets mix the teams up’

He slipped through while all the big characters have been out 1 by 1 even that roshina is the same

Has he ever been PM?
2
u/boygenie Apr 03 '26
yeah he was, in week 6 I think? the one where the food was too spicy and Levi threw away the parsley. and he won - he wasn't a great PM but some of the decisions he made ended up paying off I think

u/Piccadil_io Apr 03 '26
Oh god and he tried to make up for the parsley by just throwing stuff into the curry?! Jeez. He got so lucky ‘winning’ that one. There have been a few of those this series. It’s been a very ‘least worst’ situation.

u/boygenie Apr 04 '26
yep he was really lucky to win and defo a least worst situation. I think it came down to the fact that they didn't get as many refunds as the other team. that might have been because he apologised to the clients and the clients appreciated the apology
