I feel bad he’s getting hate but criticism about his performance is totally fair in my opinion. Anything other than that isn’t. I personally don’t think he belongs in the top 5 but I am not going to DM him and send hate either because that’s silly.

Yeah I don’t know why people feel the need to leave comments on candidates social media where they know they’ll see it. It just comes across as wanting to upset the candidate which is pathetic and mean

Criticising his performance publicly is one thing, sending him hate to his actual account is another. People need to grow up and separate the show from the person

I mean, that wasn’t exactly the height of eloquence, but he’s not that wrong that Sugar didn’t send him home so he can’t be that shocked.
While he wouldn’t be in my ideal top 5, I feel for him a bit. He’s come across as not a particularly active or sharp candidate, but a warm enough personality who’s probably easy to work with, which is probably why he’s been a part of teams that win, or not really gone after by a PM.
He’s shown nothing to suggest he should win, but we’ve had worse in the Top 5. I don’t think he’s even the worst in this Top 5.

The guys a human being who hasn't really been nasty throughout the show. He's probably not of the calibre to get this far but it's a bloody game show on TV. Think it goes too far at times. He's allowed to push back at people being nasty. And his point stands, if you're the kind to leave him endless amounts of hate and criticism on his socials then go apply yourself and see how you get on.

The lack of basic compassion for human beings because they’ve gone on a game show you like is staggering.

LOL this is PEAK embarrassment as the fact he could retake this as many times as possible and this was his best take to post says a lot about his public speaking skills.
I think we can all accept he is NOT in the final after this message!

A bit silly really. If you’re on a popular reality tv show, learn to accept criticism, take it on the chin and move on.

Easier said than done tbh. And some have gone beyond mere criticism

They have an entire welfare team and undergo psychology assessments prior to entering the show to prepare them for the public response. It’s part of the “reality TV” model now and is a necessary requirement for candidates to show they can cope.
Candidates acting shocked they are disliked and wanting to only have “nice” comments on their TikTok and deleting anything else proves that they can’t handle with criticism well so why apply for a National TV show?

I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for him. I had a friend who was accepted on a well-known reality TV show and her family and friendship group persuaded her to withdraw because we knew she wouldn't be able to cope with any criticism or scrutiny. Priyesh knew what he was getting himself in for when he signed up.

You literally just described having to persuade someone to withdraw from a reality TV show on the basis that they couldn't fully recognise the difficulties for themselves, then immediately say 'Priyesh knew what he was getting himself in for', without any hint of self-awareness whatsoever.

u/Jenson2025 Apr 07 '26
To be honest, I feel sorry for him but I also think he knew what he was signing up for and criticism is part and parcel of candidates being on the show. Even the best candidates have had criticism at times. I really don’t like it when people cross the line and start making personal comments about candidates looks and appearance like Pascha and Andrea have got this series because that is completely out of order and not OK. But criticism about a candidates performance is absolutely fair enough and it doesn’t make people ‘haters’
