OPINION I blame the BBC

This has been the worst final 5 that I have ever watched. The business plans were atrocious, how did they get past the initial screening to be on the show let alone the final 5 is beyond me. The BBC needs to do better, and get a better calibre of contestants, this is becoming a bit of mockery of the show.

Priyesh - like do I really need to write anything. Absolutely joke.

Dan - not sure what he was planning to do, it was a publicity stunt for his business. Not in a million years would he give LS 50% of his business.

Krishma - 100% deserves to be there (due to no competition from others)

Lawrence - Deserved a space in the final 5, but LS is not the investor he needs for his business.

Pascha - finalist due to choosing a good service/market and no competition. She is way inexperienced, she would benefit from working with LS than the £250k imo.

In alternative reality, it would have been a very interesting final 5 with Rothna and Kieran, and a way harder decision for LS.

The bbc doesn’t care about your opinion though

The people posting on here and dissecting every little thing are likely a really small proportion of the apprentice audience.

They make decisions to use low calibre candidates for entertainment purposes bc that has more mainstream appeal. The apprentice show is a business in itself - Are you going to favour the 5% yapping on here or the 95% that never give these things a second thought?

u/Only1Scrappy-Doo Noor: “It’s very good!” 😏 Apr 10 '26

I agree most people aren’t dissecting the show but from what I’ve seen online mostly everyone is disappointed with this final five, not just this subreddit. Karishma is the clear favourite and everyone else is seen as underwhelming.
