So far:

Series 12

Oliver
JD

Currently, Michelle, Natalie, Aleksandra, Mukai, Rebecca, and Karthik are definitely not in this sequence.

One hint: the winner and the first to be fired are never in this sequence. It is also very rare for the Week 2 firing to be in the sequence, though, as Tim Stillwell shows, not impossible.

Not quite. For example, in Series 1 Matthew is on the list despite never moving teams.

As for jude_le's riddle, all of these were in the boardroom with the eventual winner. (You forgot David Stevenson in Series 11).

Week 8 has passed.

I now know that Samuel is on the list and also that Frances is not.

Djfunnyman's answer was coincidental for Series 12 (not any more since Samuel is on the list) but it does contain one interesting point which I will reveal later as it is a major hint.

Samuel is on the list having been fired first time he was in the boardroom

Not quite. JD is on the list despite being in the boardroom before. Consider all people on the list from all the series.

Week 11 has passed.

Series 12:
Oliver
JD
Samuel
Dillon
Trishna
Jessica

The winner can never be on this list, but at the moment if Alana wins then Courtney will be on the list. No one else can possibly be on the list.

People fired on their first boardroom appearance?

Not quite.

The series is over. Here is the final list:

Series 12:
Oliver
JD
Samuel
Dillon
Trishna
Jessica
Courtney

Here's a hint: the rule itself has nothing to do with switching teams. However, if a person fired on Week 2 is on this list, someone must have switched teams at the start of Week 2, which is relatively rare.

Also, it is irrelevant whether someone was PM or not or whether someone has been in the boardroom or not, although it is possible that people fired on their first boardroom appearance are slightly more likely to be on the list.
