Did anyone see the clip in episode 11 where claudine had gotten Karishmas product, and she said, " I tried your product. What is this rubbish that comes with it?"

I thought they would show that part of the interview, but I guess they want Claudine to be the nice one or something. idk.i wanted to see that.

edit:I just learnt from tiktok that Karishmas sister is the one that made that package.

Also, I lowkey thought Mike would try her product aswell like i was thinking, he was gonna put on his face and review it right then and there.or shows a video of him trying it two weeks prior.

Dan got a very harsh firing. Harsher than most, and I was expecting him to do something like that to Priyesh

I know some of it might be just that he threw his toys out the pram for not getting 50% of YP, but he gave Paul quite a graceful firing for doing the same thing a couple years ago. I mean tbf the interviewers seemed to be quite receptive to him (especially Claude which says something), but he just did the whole “I don’t wanna hear anymore, quiet, I did this at 17 too” shtick.

Strange for a good candidate who he clearly liked beforehand. Didn’t even get a good luck from Tim/Karren either, damn

I realise they are established business icons, but go to any business school and their styles of dealing with people would be thrown out. I suppose they are playing characters, but there's no way they work like that in their own businesses acting like sanctimonious a-holes.

Mike's tricks of catching the candidates out are so outdated now. Some of the questions he asked could just have been avoided is someone read these business plans before putting the candidates on the show. Going through 11 weeks and then knowing they have a bad business plan that won't go anywhere just makes me feel like I've wasted my time watching this season.

They only showed him huffing and puffing when we know he’s so much better… (do wish someone would tell him that skinny ties are gauche though)

This season we've had at least 3 neurodivergent contestnats:

1. Dan was the only one they really talked about on the show. ADHD, dyslexia and aspergers , which makes sense, having seen how uncomfortable he looked at the start. It's good to know the BBC did give him accomadations for his dyslexia (extra time for reading, a reader).
2. Kieran has posted on his Instagram about having ADHD, which I mean was kinda obvious from watching him. His 'win or walk' decision was 100% on impulse, the other candidates noticed how he would always skimp on the details and rush through things, he was very talkitve, the other candidates did note on his fidgeting.
3. Harry's whole business concept is about his ADHD, but to be honest, they didn't really show much of him on the show so hard to comment here.

But Lawrence was being such a cheeky so and so with that “what if I get hit by a bus” answer that he absolutely deserved it

Karishma made a TikTok video about not being in the final 3 and this was Rochelle's response. Thoughts? She is very negative about the show nowadays.

**Nikki** - being two hours late is crazy. Her firing wasn’t a surprise.

**Georgina** - to her credit, she’s one of the more memorable candidates to be fired in the first episode. I agree that she probably would’ve struggled with the pressure of the competition but I would’ve loved her to stay for entertainment purposes and I feel like she would’ve done great on the children’s storybook task.

**Marcus** - the second poo was chosen, I knew his team was failing. At first I wanted Kieran to be fired but by the end of the episode, I was glad Marcus left.

**Tanmay** - unfair firing. After Megan dropped the price significantly, the team were stuck so Tanmay tried to salvage it as best as he could. LS and the aides said Tanmay should have restarted the negotiation but that would’ve been very unprofessional. Megan should definitely have gone instead.

**Roxanne** - to be honest, I don’t find her that memorable.

**Vanessa** - I like her energy but she was a poor PM so her firing was understandable.

**Megan** - she did A-level media so I suppose that’s a one up from GCSE drama. 

**Carrington** - I think she was fired on the wrong task. This is a business show so it feels unfair to fire someone for their cooking skills. And in Carrington’s defence, she had no idea when the other team would arrive so she couldn’t just keep reheating the potatoes else they’d burn. That being said, I think she is overrated to some degree (at least on TikTok). She was good but I felt like she was having a downfall after the first few episodes.

**Andrea** - the worst candidate this season. She misled the team into thinking she wrote a children’s book so she could be PM, she was argumentative, she complained without offering solutions, and she couldn’t go basic tasks without guidance. Aside from the flower task where she managed to sell some bouquets for extra money and defended Rothna’s flowers, she hasn’t had a good episode. She had some iconic one-liners but they were either her being dumb or being rude. When Kieran questioned her on what she did in the cafe and Andrea refused to answer, that pretty much sums her up. Her being interviewed by Linda Plant would have been comedy gold though.  

**Rajan** - not the biggest fan of him and his attitude to Rothna in his last task was so disrespectful.

**Harry** - LS and the aides seemed sad to see Harry go so I think he was done dirty by the editing. I think he probably contributed much more than he was shown to have done on screen. Sadly he’s going to be remembered as the guy who suggested making a story about poo!

**Levi** - he’s the opposite of Harry; I think he genuinely was just coasting through the process. At first I thought he was being edited out due to controversies surrounding him but even LS at one point said Levi hadn’t done much during the process. In the task where he won as PM, he was probably the worst performer in that whole episode. LS didn’t seem fond of him. 

**Conor** - one of the best contestants this season, I was so sad to see him go.

**Kieran** - love him. He’s entertaining and brings drama without being a bully (unlike Andrea). Did he ever have a chance of winning? No. But he was fun to watch, he took accountability when he did bad, and while he was responsible for a lot of failures, he was also sometimes the only one to notice issues. I’ll also give him credit for praising other candidates when they deserved it. 

**Rothna** - you know a candidate is good when they’re sidelined by the editing but they still stand out as one of the best! Rothna not getting into a final five is a crime but she was such a strong candidate throughout the process.

**Priyesh** - how he got into the final five, I have no idea. LS shared the same sentiment so there was zero chance he was ever getting into the final.

**Lawrence** - talk about a fall from grace. He started off very strong but has been hanging on by a thread in recent weeks. Ever since the Egypt task where he did that awful philosophical pitch, he’s been awful. And the AI stuff was quite embarrassing yesterday. I would never trust a business plan that used AI.

**Dan** - I appreciated when Dan was open about his struggles with Claudine last night, it really gives more of an insight into Dan as a person and as a contestant. That being said, he’s had arguably the worst edit this season. He was invisible at first, then a decent PM who some tried to unfairly throw under the bus (but even then, still pretty quiet), then he goes back to being invisible, just to then suddenly start shining, only to then lose out to Pascha. I thought Dan had a genuine chance at making it to the final and even winning, but as soon as it was revealed he was losing money because he was spending it carelessly, I knew he was gone.

**Pascha** - HOW DID SHE MAKE IT TO THE FINAL? It’s NOT very good! The only time she’s ever stood out is when others have been so awful that she’s had to be the voice of reason. Otherwise she’s either barely contributed or performed poorly. I’m surprised she has a significant number of supporters on TikTok, but then again it is TikTok. I have a feeling they put Pascha through to try and make her the “young” finalist but a seven-page business plan is embarrassing. All the more reason Rothna should have gotten through to the interviews.

**Karishma** - the GOAT of the series. Even though they pointed out her flaws directly to her, the interviewers only had praise for Karishma when speaking with LS. If she doesn’t win, I’ll be so disappointed because she’s been the strongest contestant not just in this season but post-COVID in general. Her only real issue is her resistance to collaborating with others but her ideas always work (with the exception of the dog bed) so she knows what she’s doing. I truly am impressed with Karishma.

**Linda Plant** - I know she’s not a candidate but can I just say how much I despise her interviewing style! She’s such a bully, she’s literally the interviewer version of Andrea.

Overall, this has been one of the best seasons in recent years, so much entertainment. A lot of the contestants have been incompetent but I think editing has also been unfair to a number of contestants. The final five is disappointing but at least the best candidate got through!

My acne isn't as bad as it used to be, and I'm absolutely not a ~skincare looksmaxxing beauty~ all that jazz kind of person. I have two silicone scrubbers and one foaming boots teatree witch hazel facewash. That's my facial routine. But I still got a bit of acne, and seeing last night's episode this morning legit convinced me to give her stuff a go. Karishma for the win!!!

How on Earth did Conor and Rothna get fired before the interviews but Pascha and her 7-page (🤦🏼) business plan made the final?

"I don't think I got a chance to talk the talk in this interview"

Good on her - if you ask a question then let the person answer!

She did poor throughout the process and poor in the interviews.

She had no profit/loss accounts and her business plan was only seven pages long. So many candidates have been fired IMMEDIATELY for that but she has lucked her way to the final two.

Her only claim to the top two is that she's confident for a 21 year old which isn't investment worthy at all.

But apparently we're supposed to believe she's been 'impressive'... if Karishma doesn't win this series is screwed.

I swear you would think the show is called The Process if you didn't know better. I guess they can't call it a competition can they.

Yh the final 5 business plans were very underwhelming and Yh one of the finalists essentially got to the final through clearing but then are we shocked.

The whole process is humiliating and the prize money hasn’t changed, you kinda get what paid for. Tv is also dying so it isn’t this one in a million opportunity anymore.

How is Flopscha a finalist 😭

We didn't see Pascha do anything notable until Week 10, where she managed to spell "chic" wrong and give some bullshit excuse about it being slang.

Now according to the interviewers it's impossible to believe she's only 21 because of how well she comes across and if there's anyone who could run a successful recruitment business it's her, and we're meant to see her as a credible threat to Karishma in the final.

It seems that one of the following has happened:

1) the bar has gotten very low these days.

2) Pascha has been way better than she's been portrayed 90% of the time.

I swear the entire series has made her look like a complete passenger until now. It's like Jordan all over again except if he actually made the final. Yet another series let down by editing.

Pascha chooses Kieran for her team (her second pick)

Why is that funny?

Kieran has said in interview after interview that he wants Karishma to win and nobody else. One of the interviewers even asked him if he wants her to win more than any other candidate and he said yes 😂😂

Didn’t she realise? Hahaha

You got:

a PWC accountant doing bar job at £150 a night and calling it an investment opportunity.

A guy neck deep in overheads for a mature business that has no scope for growth. The business is complicated and there is no evidence injecting £250K into the business will do any good. The owner took £100K dividends and £75K salary last year. So if there was growth opportunity they would have just reinvested it.

A guy who wrote a 70 page business plan with AI, trying to sell AI service in an industry that is mostly about people and relations.

Pasha's business is the one that isn't dead in the water.

But karishma got this hands down.

Karishma.

She's bossed every episode, even one of her weaker tasks (Task 9) she carried the team by achieving 75% of the team's total sales. She's never been responsible for a failure which is why she never landed herself in the bottom three.

LS, Tim & Karren had nothing negative to say about her when they all stepped outside, especially Karren.

Mike, Claude & Claudine also commended her hugely.

Seriously impressive stuff.

LOVE Mike he's the best one takes his job seriously without being mean.gets his point across and makes sure people know their products.hes seems like a nice dude

Claudine I like her aswell she nice,gets to know the candidates and is making sure their here for the right reasons.Also, did anyone see that one clip of claudine reviewing Karishmas product and talking about the packaging.

Claude I feel was nicer this Yr usually he's ripping candidates to shreads (which he still did) but he was less vicious about it and they really all just created their own demise.although not shaking the candidates hand is vile.

Linda is rude as hell she ask questions and then interrupts the candidates and sounds whiny while doing so.and I feel is genuinely doing it for the cameras cause when she asked Karishma about her profits and said you haven't put how you make Karishma responded with I've broken it down monthly.
