Yeah idg your sudden criticism of TA becoming a parody of itself or whatnot, I mean admittedly I've only seen 4 series but surely it's always been an entertainment show and they've always cast messy people for entertainment purposes?

I think you take this show too seriously tbh if you view it as some sort of prestigious business competition

Yeah it's always been an entertainment show but what they think people define as entertaining has very much changed. Now they seem to think we just enjoy seeing dumbasses fail whereas once upon a time, it was about putting fourteen reputable business people together and making them work on tasks; natural results are always best.

Idk, for me this is just the year TA stopped being interesting, but that's just how I feel.

When watching, i thought the twp products were equal on which one was going to win, but in hindsight there were too many problems inside of the all womens team for them to win.
Grainne should have really been fired after this as she has been terrible in these tasks far too much, yet she gets saved time after time... un-deservedly. If she gets to final two, it will be an error, but i wouldnŽt be shocked.

But i guess the color was the thing that solidified the loss and thatŽs why Trishna is gone.

After tonight, iŽm pretty sure that Jessica and Alana are the final two with Grainne and Frances as easy boots and Courtney just missing it by an inch.

Jess and Frances remain the best
Courtney is the one who makes me laugh the most, I think he's far from boring... In fact I really couldn't call any of this top 5 'boring', they've all had iconic and entertaining moments.

I really couldn't tell you anything Courtney's done, especially in comparison to some of the other amazing males there's been this year like Karthik, Sofiane and Dillon. I just Don't Get It.

And Claude is far from a bore lol, he's been the staple point of the interviews for years, it's the reason he got the job as an aide

Karthik was obviously the most entertaining but I'd rank Courtney after that. Sofiane and Dillon were nothing special.

Meh @ Claude, I wouldn't miss him if he wasn't on the show...he's just there for the most part. Even Karren is better tbh.

The most surprising thing about Claude is that he's actually a pleasant man!

Grainne has been lucky, nothing else. She used to be quite good and capable, now she is just slacking and underachieving on a regular basis. She shouldŽve gone weeks ago.

Maybe Lord Sugar has got the hots for her?

Karthik was entertaining but I find him overrated. He was really annoying in the early weeks. Sofiane was always tragic and by the time Dillon was fired, I didn't really care at all for him.

Grainne didn't deserve to be fired imo, she's got a real lot of potential and I think Lord Sugar knows that. She always brings up valid points, is 100% honest and can admit to her mistakes (and doesn't randomly point the blame at someone else). She or Courtney would be the people I'd want to work with most tbh.

Yeah i agree, Trishna lost them the task so it was the right decision, despite holding back for two episodes shes still a strong business woman.

I think she has been terrible for at least 3 episodes. Weakest or second weakest of the current candidates. Should have gone three weeks ago really.

Hopefully sheŽll be among the 3 fired next week. If not and she is one of the final two, the one next to her should gain an easy victory over her. Her winning at this point would be at least a minor travesty.

So is Frances though

And realistically I bet a lot of people thought Trishna would be part of the final 5 (I know I did) and unexpected results always happen especially at this stage of the show. The only thing I feel 99% sure about is Frances not being in the f2.
