The fact that the best episode of Series 8 is probably the English sparkling wine one purely because it has Jenna's advert :skull:

I don't remember anything about 8 other than stanning Katie and Laura

TomC 07-12-2017 10:39 PM

Week 4 was actually okay. It's refreshing to have candidate success celebrated and a lack of terrible puns from LS.

Also, Jenna and Laura's battle of the accent in the boardrooms was kind of iconic :love:

TomC 09-12-2017 11:50 PM

Series 8 has gotten better. It looked a bit bleak at the start and although by no means has it flourished Series 5 style, Weeks 5 and 6 are both pretty fun.

Also, what I like about this stage is that it's kind of divided into Heroes and Villains (even though the heroes are a bit unmemorable, and the 'villain's' are for the most part, dull af). To clarify, Nick, Gabrielle, Ricky and Jenna are the heroes. Laura's also a pretty iconic bitch. Adam losing in Week 6 was pretty satisfying: it's just a shame he didn't go and Katie did.

The thing is, the Laura/Jenna/Gabrielle triple hit is imminent, and that just killed the series. Series 8, whilst it was never gonna be a top tier series, really went to **** in the second half, and it's all due to the firing order.

TomC 09-12-2017 11:53 PM

Just finishing Week 6 and i can't fathom why he got rid of Katie. Like they're all wanky candidates, but Azhar was boring af throughout the process, and showed nothing, and Adam's just terrible in general. An all-time bottom 10 for me.

Lindsay is so annoying, the robot was so much better and would easily win but she went with the most boring toy ever :umm2:

TomC 14-12-2017 04:36 PM

Well done for picking one of the best series :clap1: It gets really overlooked on here.

Saira is amazing so far :flutter: (after 2 episodes)

I haven not seen 1-3

Saira's an all-time top 5 candidate. Series 1 for me is gripping TV, but most seem to prefer Series 2 and 3 - classic series for different reasons. I'm sure you'll love them on a first watch.

TomC 15-12-2017 12:10 AM

I'm up to Week 8 of Series 8 but still haven't done my Series 7 review so here goes.

Series 7
I'd say this is more of a 'story' season like Series 5 and to an extent 3 than a character/moment series like Series 4 or 6. The cast is...hard to weigh up. Like the final six is pretty stunning, but overall the Series 7 cast is comparable to Series 2's: a bit heavy on the dull/unlikeable people (I'm looking at Alex/Gavin/Leon/Zoe/Helen). Weeks 1 and 2 really are dross. Nothing of note happens. It's probably the worst first two episodes a series, tying with Series 5 maybe? Just like in Series 5 though, the likeable characters do start to emerge in Weeks 3/4. Whilst Susan emerges as a loveable underdog, and Vincent and Zoe emerge as terrible people. And so the series progresses tbh. This series is all about character development tbh.

Week 6 is an all-time great tbh. Between the completely original task, Susan slaying, Zoe ****ing up so terribly, and the Melody/Natasha catfights, I can comfortably identify this as my peak of Series 7. Week 7 is really good too, with Susan fighting back against her horrid team :love:

Week 9 is good for the Zoe and Melody catfight, and the terrible BixMix roleplay. Week 10 is fun if only for Helen's coup. Melody's downfall arc is pretty epic too. I must say though, even though the Final 4 were an exceptionally strong, diverse bunch, the prize change just didn't work here. There was too great a disparity between candidates' task performance, meaning the Tom win was a bit of a disappointment. It's nice to have someone break the usual winner mould though.

Overall though, Series 7 is pretty middle tier. Some great characters, like Susan, Tom, Melody, Natasha, but it is a bit bleak in places and takes a loooong time to get going. Also, the end result is poor.

I'm not gonna rank them on hireability anymore as it's too complex with the business plans.

Susan
Tom
Natasha
Melody

Edward
Ellie
Helen
Felicity
Edna
Jim
Glenn
Alex
Gavin
Vincent
Leon

Zoe

Wow, I didn't expect so few to make it into green.

Tom: Great winner, but not for his task performance. He's just a bit mad really. He was a reliable candidate throguhout but a bit safe, but he has a great personality.
Helen: So boring. And she was a lowkey bitch at times? Like to Susan in Week 4 when Zoe was having a go and to Glenn in Week 5.
Susie: Susie :love: A sweet girl who was misunderstood in the process. She really did grow which was nice, and she really should have won tbh. It was good that she scalped Zoe/Jim/Glenn in Weeks 6 and 7. And she had some righteous confessionals about Zoe :clap1:
Jim: I'm not a great fan tbh. Some love him as a character. I find him a smug dick. He was a cock to Susie in Week 7.
Natasha: Love her. A crazy, passive agressive mess :love:
Melody: Only love her because of how lacking in self-awareness she is. She's a nightmare, but she's a fun, watchable nightmare.
Zoe: Legitimately terrible. Like an all-time worst candidate. She did fall off a horse before Series 7 so idk if she had brain damage or something but the way she conducted herself thoughout the series was appaling. She was terrible to Susie in Week 6 and such a bitch to Melody in Week 9.
Leon: I find Leon a bit of a smug prick like Jim tbh.
Glenn: Glenn is nice but a bit dull. He's also a bit thick? :worry: Like he was always in Jim's shadow.
Edna: I like Edna. She should have gotten more airtime.
Vincent: Bit of a prick. I would though.
Ellie: Ellie is a bit moany, but I do appreciate her scalping Felicity and Vincent.
Felicity: Dull, and Ellie snatched her.
Gavin: Dull.
Alex: Bit messy, would have liked to have seen more of him.
Edward: VERY messy, but a perfect Week 1 boot.

TomC 15-12-2017 12:12 AM

4 > 1 > 6 > 5 > 3 > 7 > 2 (I think?)

Also, Series 8 is categorically the worst of the first 8, but I think I literally may prefer it to the post-Series 10 era? The show is just so annoying these days in how poorly it's edited and marketed, and the wtf James/Sarah final is a perfect example of this.

That's ridiculous , why is series 6 missing from every website I go on :conf::fist:, I wanted to watch it .

TomC 16-12-2017 03:59 PM

I'm gay, but there's something really sexy about Jade.

LukeB 16-12-2017 04:23 PM

Series One
1.Saira
2.Paul
3.James
4.Miranda
5.Adele
6.Ben
7.Miriam

8.Rachel
9.Tim
10.Adenike

12.Lindsay
13.Matthew
14.Raj


I absolutely loved this series that i would consider one of the best. It feels weird seeing the winner not having an investment in their business.1-7 were either entertaining to watch or really likeable. 8-11 were meh characters and the rest was annoying.

I'd say pretty flawless rankings except Paul is 12 places too high! Glad you recognise Series 1 for the masterpiece it is :clap1:

What did you think of the Paul/Saira rivalry?

And get ready for the Jo experience in Series 2. Literally the most nuts candidate you'll ever see.

TomC 16-12-2017 04:36 PM

Wow Jade really excels in Week 11, and it's reminding me why she slid so effortlessly into my pole position after Gabby's tragic firing :love:

I shouldn't like Paul but there was something about him and he was one of the most entertaining ones there with Saira, the two stars of the series.

And the rivalry was iconic and it made me like them both even more, pretty shocked Saira chose him on the finale.
