According to The Sun (So take with a pinch of salt), Luisa and Jordan start a relationship:

This may not mean anything. Zoe and Glenn started a relationship in Series 7, but it wasn't broadcast on the show. However, I'd imagine that they'd both make it to Mixed Teams as the first two tasks took place about five days into filming, which doesn't seem long enough for them to form a connection.

In the video of the candidates speaking in the boardroom: http://youtube.com/index?&desktop_ur...?v=FDDvlqcYC9Q,
Leah says "I perform task after task after task" which implies that she lasts to Mixed Teams but this is far from concrete and just a general observation.

The first two Pics are nothing to write home about; they are clearly from the first task.
The next one, probably from Task 2 (Create an Ale) shows the boy's team from far out, but it's virtually impossible to tell anyone from that Pic.

The last two and most crucial two are these ones:

These show Alex, Zee, Uzma (I think) and Jordan all at Mixed Teams selling something. Based on the date (7th October), I'd say it's Task 5 or 6.

According to BelligerentBoss, Jaz, Jordan and Sophie all fail to win. Jaz and Jordan still seem to work for themselves and Sophie is working in Australia. I haven't seen most of their tweets, but Jaz tweeted on 8th October, around Task 5/6 suggesting she falls before then?

Again, according to Belligerent Boss, Uzma makes it quite a way in the competition as she didn't tweet between Sep 20 and Oct 25. She could still be in the running.

deivu47 also commented on the thread claiming Neil was away from his work for eight weeks. This heavily implies he gets far as that's well over the normal filming time period (About late Sept to late Oct/early Nov). He could well be a bet for the final.

The sub-teams for the Boys based on the Twitter pic and the clip in the car seems to be:

Jason
Myles
Kurt
Jordan

Neil
Tim
Zee
Alex

Here is a preview clip for Week 1:

Virtually nothing is known about the Girls on that task.

Natalie has started a fashion shop/label of some kind called Panya London with her kid sister, this company was registered on the 6th of March 2013. So, you can rule her out though it does give you a hint of her business plan. Also of note is that her kid sister said that she went away "for a bit", implying a short run rather then let's say being away for a month.

The guy has had seven jobs in 13 years, these are:
Regional Manager, Goals Soccer Centres, May 2010 – Present (3 years 1 month) Midlands

I am not even going to attempt to condense her profile, I haven’t the time!!! Another website for her has turned up though:

Neil - seems to have experience in quite a few areas (leisure/health, sport) which is a plus for the tasks. Possibly more sales-oriented than anything else. Seems to be similar to Ricky last year with the health/fitness aspect so LS is probably going to like his business plan.

Natalie - recruitment, recruitment and a bit more recruitment. Not much depth there. Probably going to go with a recruitment-based plan, which begs the question - would LS want to be a partner in another recruitment business as he already has that with Ricky? My guess would be no.

Tim - looks like he's from close to where I live (his new store opening is in my shopping centre). Food industry - hmm, it's been used for at least one task in both the previous 2 series, but those with knowledge of that industry have gone early (see Jane from series 8). Somehow I don't think LS would want to invest in him.

Uzma - oh no. That website will not put her in good stead with LS. Seems to come from the beauty industry though, which can be a good thing. Problem is LS has already invested in Susan Ma, would he want to go for that again?

Zeeshaan - investment company. Not a good sign. Remember the apprehension about Tom's wine investment idea last series? Zeeshaan's plan is most likely going to be on similar lines, so not a good omen.

Francesca - fitness/entertainment. Depends which side her plan leans towards. If it's fitness then LS might go for it, if it's entertainment then it's doubtful. Could go either way.

Kurt - nutrition. Again, probably a no-go area like Tim.

Myles - has his fingers in many pies so to speak, which LS will probably like. A property idea might be a good one as LS knows that industry.


So my 3 from there would be Neil, Myles and possibly Francesca.

Company Director at Dynamo Legal (Jan 2012-present)
Managing Director at Prestige Slate (April 2010-May 2012)

Currently not updating/using LinkedIn as of 22nd April

"I started selling lolly pops in school at 14 and set up my first "proper business" at 19 years old from a garage in Tondu and haven't stopped since."

2013 My Plans: After nearly 2 years work Dynamo Legal has started to flourish nicely and am currently recruiting more solicitors and para legals to join this project. I am also currently investing in a nationwide insurance company and will release more details as and when this business is ready to go.

- his current company looks easily accessible and useful. As a (hopefully soon to be ex) law student myself, that kind of business is definitely needed. The 22nd April bit of info looks to mean that he doesn't win.

LT Medical is led by a team of dedicated UK doctors who work in partnership with clients to achieve their aesthetic dreams. All treatments are administered by professionals registered with their respective professional bodies who have had extensive training in their field. All staff are fully insured and practice under a strict code of ethics and confidentiality and adhere to stringent standards of hygiene.

Despite working full time as an NHS doctor in the London area and being actively involved in medical research, Dr Totton returns to the province twice monthly for LT medical clinics in Londonderry and Belfast, where she offers a wide range of aesthetic treatments including Anti-wrinkle injections, Facial Fillers, lip enhancement, Skin Peels.

The popularlity of these once monthly clinics has been so great that LT Medical are in the process of securing their own clinic premises in the province, which plan to open in autumn of this year.

From her bio on the website (and her Twitter) she had a restaurant called Makan in Bristol (where she lives) which had closed as of the 15th Jan this year "hoping to reopen in a new location". Her twitter also says she won't be tweeting for a while and gives you other people to follow, as well as the website for the restaurant.

I've been on the blog for the make-up artist in Australia called Sophie Lau, and although it looks like her, the "About Sophie" section lists various photoshoots etc since 2009, when she would have been at university, so that doesn't seem right to me.

His last job listed on there ended in April 2012 and it looks as though he was working in the US for that.

He's had 6 jobs in just under 5 years:

Senior Programme Lead for Telefonica Ventures (Sept 2011-Apr 2012) in Mountain View CA
New Business Development Manager for Telefonica Europe plc (Jul 2010-Sept 2011)
President of Oxford Entrepreneurs (Jun 2009-Jul 2010)
President of Products for CrewDates Ltd (Oct 2008-Jul 2009)
Vice President and Director of Idea Idol - as part of Oxford Entrepreneurs (Oct 2008-Jul 2009)
Intern at Eurex AG in Frankfurt (Apr 2007-Oct 2007)

So he has a one year gap from Oct 2007 - Oct 2008, and another gap from April last year.

His twitter has nothing there yet (no tweets so looks as though he's only just set it up). BUT

Had a look at the one for Fuel Shakes (his company) and there was a tweet from him on 24th October last year responding to a customer, so if filming hadn't finished by then, then you know he didn't win.
