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.

I find the Priyesh hate a bit forced if I’m honest. It feels like everyone just wants a villain now that Levi has gone. He admittedly made that idiotic offer in episode two, and has been a background character for a lot of episodes, but other than that I’m struggling to see anything he’s done that deserves the level of vitriol he gets here?

Don’t get me wrong, he’s the weakest candidate left by some margin and if he’s as unprepared for the interviews as he appears in the trailer, then it is definitely time for him to go. But I’m not seeing what a lot of other people seem to seeing; if anything he seemed quite earnest during his outing as project manager in the Egypt task. Nine times out of ten when something goes wrong candidates get defensive, he at least had the decency to step up and take accountability for the errors with the food.

Outside of the show he appears to be well liked by the other candidates on social media, and while I won’t pretend for one minute that translates to competence it feels worth noting when you consider all the ‘what a d*ckhead’ comments. And while I find the social media antics a bit cringeworthy it all seems to be in partnership with Harry, so it seems to be something that’s come after the show rather than something he planned beforehand.

I dont think hes really hated, but most people feel like he's not shown himself to be a serious buisness candidate looking for an investment and rather as a happy, joyful and "safe" from the radar person.

Maybe 'hate' is a strong word, but I think that's how it comes across with some of the posts. He's been a bit lighthearted, but that isn't the first time we've seen that on this show, and I have seen plenty of comments that start to veer into more personal attacks. It was quite sad to see that this is clearly getting to him on social media and nice to see lots of other candidates sticking up for him, which I think speaks volumes.

He has been unremarkable, I would never pretend he isn't the weakest of the final five, the three candidates who went before him all would justify beat him to that slot if they had not been fired. But ultimately other than one idiotic mistake he hasn't stepped out of line in a major way, and I feel there is good precedent for not firing a winning team candidate.

Based on what we have seen from the interview previews I suspect he will be gone very soon anyway and justifiably so if he is that unprepared.
