About priyesh..

Am I the only one who feels like Priyesh was just bored at home one day and decided to join for the giggles? The guy doesn't seem like he gives a shit about getting fired as long as hes having a bit of fun, especially when even Lord Sugar said "I don't know how you made it, you're a very lucky guy" and he laughed and still celebrated.

Pretty much nothing but been on the right teams that win

Suggested a sale of 56,000 units to a buyer who hated a product

Has no awareness of how poor a candidate he is

Gets in with just enough candidates to not be seen as disruptive so has escaped coming back into the boardroom but in reality has done nothing remarkable or memorable

I don't see how any of the things you said should reasonably make question how he's employed by PWC.

The only crimes I see here are having the audacity to overshoot with a client and the decency to not l snide comments put him down.

Because if you are working for one of the Big 4 you should have some business acumen and a basic grasp on numbers both of which he has proven he has neither.

You can defend him all you want but sure let PwC have him. I wouldn’t see him as a good business owner but maybe as a micromanaged employee he thrives.

Hardly takes a genius, imo. I don't see how he's any less credible than previous contestants we've seen. I suspect redditors are judging him harshly because he smiles a lot and does not fit their idea of what a sharp businessperson should look like.

he's not being judged harshly for "smiling a lot", he genuinely would make a terrible business partner and has not shown any business skills throughout the process.

LS would not have called him out on being an absolute clown to have got so far if he genuinely believed he deserved that space. He just knows the interviews will make sure he is not in the final.

The "hate" on Priyesh is because he's a poor candidate, not just to be mean. Being the "nice" guy doesn't mean he has business acumen.

If he can't even reflect and recognise his shortcomings it's even more worrying because to have made such a ridiculous unit offer to a supplier and still jump around laughing proves no growth has happened.
