    This was the first episode I've seen of this series and I only watched from the pitch onward but from that alone I've got Noor as one of the worst contestants they've ever had on this.

    Frances and Akshay are the only other people to hit 8 losses in series 12 & 16.

    Frances also held the record for most losses in a row at 6 which Pieman has SMASHED.

    In terms of being brought back to the boardroom the record is 6 and held by Akshay in series 16. He lost 8 of the 9 weeks he was there.

    I only half pay attention when this is on in the background but you have to be a special level of shite to have Rachael and Trey lose back to back weeks.

    On twitter it's come out Noor's 'business' is basically dropshipping jewellery from China on a website that has directly copied and pasted from someone else's and filled in the gaps with AI.

    It’s a more impressive streak than The Undertaker at this point. Shame it ends next week.

    I hope he wins just to really piss them off. Glad old crazy eyes and crazier eyebrows have been binned off.

    Yeah, she's already shit so giving her that much rope to hang herself with is also just helping your own team fuck it.

    Fix was in from the start. They make it a fucking food task and then give Phil the strongest member of the other team so he gets the extra person advantage.

    I'll be shocked if he doesn't win.

    Surprised Steve was fired, he seemed quite capable.

    Guess his friend finding app is bullshit.

    I'm sure those apps already exist.

    Also if he hadn't been up for the chop before he revealed how desperate he is then I'd imagine that sort of thing turns Shug right off.

    I think Claudine can't resist a touching backstory and if somebody has one doesn't want to get stuck into them on telly. Does make some of her clips look a bit substance free though.

    Much as the BBC cameraman couldn't resist her neckline when she was introduced.

    If he lets Paul just change his business plan entirely that might actually finish me off on this. The premise was already hanging by a thread.

    Glad Paul is out, hate that it's basically because Paul couldn't or wouldn't go for what Shug wanted.

    Paul was right not to give up 50% on his established business. Made no sense.

    The final is the worst episode every year now.

    Depends whether he thought Sugar would help him make more in the long run I guess but it felt more like Dragon's Den at that point.

    Paul's a weasel anyway so fuck 'im.

    If you turn up tp the interviews and your business plan is lolled out of the room that should be an automatic firing, not 'go and do a new plan'.

    Probably.

    Tre had a few cracking reactions to things the interviewers said.

    Good to see that we're going through the charade of an established business with 5 premises "launching" their business.

    I think he just didn't really like Phil but did like the business and really wanted to be swayed on the former.

    Apparently Beans on Toast purchased the domain for Prestige Pies and had it redirect to his own website. That’s almost good enough to make me forget about the beans, but not quite.

    Aoparently Rachel's dad is a multi millionaire and that's how she opened her first gym at 23. Combined with Phil it's an all nepo final, and it's since come out in the tabloids her gyms have never actually made a profit. Business plan model of the show needs binning.

    I've said this before as well but it's staggering that the show has been going this long with the same tired investor, crap jokes and unchanged format.

    It's rubbish and needs a massive revamp.
