I'd agree with you both - generally the PM is one of the last people to come out of the BR, and it makes sense that he'd keep Scott with him (weak link).

So after the most recent ep (week 8), of the ones that we know have a chance of making ep 10:

Selina has been PM twice with 2 wins (weeks 1 and 8)
Gary has been PM twice with 1 win (week 7) and 1 loss (week 8)
Brett has been PM once with 1 win (week 6)
Charleine has been PM once with 1 win (week 5)
Joseph has been PM once with 1 win (week 3)
Richard has been PM once with 1 win (week 2)
Vana has been PM once with 1 loss (week 3)

After ep 9 - looks like Brett will have the same record as Selina, and Joseph will tie with Gary. So for task 10, it should be between Charleine, Richard and Vana for PMs (Charleine will almost certainly be one, unless either Richard or Vana move over for whatever reason).

Scott quits apparently

It says in the article in the next few episodes, but there is only 2 episodes left correct?

We know his team wins this week but maybe he is so useless in the task he quits anyway.

My guess Selina and Scott go this week and Gary the week after.

Wow; sounds like he pulls an Adele; That's a surprise. It certainly sounds like he jumped before he was pushed if we trust the source.


2 regular tasks left I assume you mean. We have interviews and the final as well afterwards. If Selina goes this week I think that means Charleine is gone next week but could well see Gary go this week and Charleine next week. Think Charleine and Team Brett are the only ones safe this week.

yes I meant only 2 more episodes of task before final 5 interviews and final 2 finale

I mean Scott could quit at interview stages as well but from the article it makes it sound like he quits after a task because Sugar says he had one of the worst performances ever

Maybe its from this week, in the first boardroom when they find out which team won maybe Scott is pulled up as the weakest of the team and then quits and after quitting his team finds out they won anyway; hence them leaving the boardroom without him and their shocked faces. Selina/Gary are then fired also; I would say Selina more because she is just waiting to be fired.

Will Scott appear on You're Fired then?
If Selina's petulant storm-out turns out to be true, we could have an episode where no candidate shows up...

From the previews for this episode, it does look like Scott's going. Shame. For the first half of the series he was a very solid contender, even in his PM loss. Selina I don't give a $#!t about. We've known she isn't the winner from very early on.

So my predictions for the rest of the series are...
Week 9 - Property
Connexus: Brett (PM), Richard, Scott, Vana
Versatile: Joseph (PM), Charleine, Gary, Selina
Scott storms out in this episode despite being on the winning team, whilst the "You're such a manipulator!" clip makes an appearance as Selina is fired (bonus prediction - for her attitude and losing the enthusiasm she displayed earlier in the process). I imagine of Charleine and Gary, Gary will be brought back into the BR because Joseph and Charleine worked together last week and seemed to work well together (stood up for each other in BR)

Week 10 - Health Snack
Connexus: Vana (PM), Brett, Richard, Vana
Versatile: Charleine (PM), Gary, Joseph
Connexus win and Gary is fired - Charleine crying clip is shown as she is "very close" to being fired? Or she could be fired in a Katie from last year way. Ah, Katie...

Week 11 - Interviews
First to go - Brett. Interviewers don't like his personality and something doesn't add up in his business plan, though Lord Sugar fires him with regret.
Next to go - Charleine, with sincere regret. Joanna firing here - her attitude sometimes gets in the way and an emotional Charleine congratulates everyone.
Last to go - Richard. Deemed too corporate by interviewers and his BP is not ambitious (a Francesca firing here)

Week 12 - Finals
I really have no idea who wins. My instinct is saying Vana, for the following reasons -
* Female. Three of the business plan winners have been male.
* Winner's "progression" edit.
* The last time a British person won the show was Leah - the last time an English person won was Ricky.
* Joseph is definitely, definitely getting the Roisin edit - if it was a job, he would win. However, his business plan has many flaws in it.
I could be completely wrong and I hope I am. I really want a Charleine vs Richard "clash of the Titans" ending

Joseph is now completely unbackable with bookmakers with Richard now joint second favourite with Vana. The final 2 isn't set in stone yet folks! Personally I have always felt Rich is the one to watch here, and I've never seen the fuss with vana- yet!

Not at all surprised with that Scott news, we were pretty sure from the previews he left the BR prematurely


I'd say so? You'd have to think he will- after Selina's rants you'd be sure producers have been getting on to him in any case

Good riddance anyway I'd say. Liked him early on, but his BR meltdown a few weeks ago put me right off him. Blanking Sam afterwards was the icing on the cake.


Yeah, Joseph will bring back gary and Selina, this can be seen from the episode intros

Selina to be fired- she's on last chance saloon


Should be a straightforward single elimination here unlike last year. Will he put the two "weaker" candidates on separate teams, Charleine and Gary? Would he want one of Brett, Richard or Vana to miss out on interviews? It'll depend on their plans I guess. I can see Charleine and Gary being on opposite teams though and the loser packing their bags


gary/Charleine- Brett- Vana in that order for me to go

Think Gary or Charleine will be torn apart in interviews myself! It wouldn't overly shock me to see Richard brought completely back down to earth here a la Roisin last year but I think he's the man to watch myself.

They'll probably make Brett out to be a bit of a spoofer in the interviews but LS definitely likes him, i could see him maybe even making the "final 3" so to speak


I don't really think those factors will matter. This is a real investment at the end of the day, if all the women have sh1t plans he's not just going to invest for fairness purposes.

Think it'll be a Richard/Joseph final.

Anyhow long way to go yet, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I had a Roisin daniel final I think this time last year

I think Gary and Charleine have to be on the same team - Charleine is more likely to make the interviews (there's no way Gary's making the interviews) and they're more likely to lose with a weaker team.

I don't really think those factors matter either, tbh, especially because LS has been accused of sexism before (think Katie Hopkins year), but it just seems likely I suppose. Karren will be drilling Lord Sugar for a female winner in spite of her castigating every living organism on the show.

I think it's any three of Richard/Vana/Joseph to reach the final, but I really want Charleine there...

Well, if he does survive Wed all he has to do is win the last task

From previews and the opening theme and so on I still don't think we've anything to go on with regard to who is on what team and who wins in task 10

Lets be honest, Gary must have at least a decent enough Business plan as LS could have easily chucked him out last week and he could well survive yet another final BR on wednesday. Sugar even specifically referred to the plan on Wednesday so he's definitely taken note of it

Charleine is getting a ridiculously heavy edit, so I'm sure she'll make the interviews tbh. can't see her making the final in a million years though. Maybe the result in task 10 is actually a shock but I think that's going to be the task result, the actual perception of the "firing" is subjective at the end of the day

WIth regard to the final 5 it wouldn't suporise me tbh - given the current format - if they just pick the best 3 plans from early on (potentially Joseph, richard and Vana or even Gary at this stage) and then allow a spot for someone like Brett who impresses LS throughout the series and can grow into a main contender, along with a final spot for someone for entertainment/viewing purposes (someone like Charleine who has developed into a love-to-hate character in a way, in that whatever you think of her she's entertaining viewing!)

It is now in the Daily Wail re Scott quitting.

It depends on where that clip of Charleine crying going into the boardroom is from. It is unlikely to be from next week as the three in the boardroom seem to be Selina, Joseph and Gary.
I thought it would be Week 10 as she's PM in that week and could get emotional if she loses, but it could be from interviews (Interviews have gotten very emotional before - think Neil Clough and James McQuillan) and Lord Sugar could simply have sent her out because she was upset over a firing (Joseph maybe?).

To be honest if the clip is from Week 10, then obviously Versatile lose that week. If it isn't then they probably win as it's difficult to see Charleine surviving a PM loss with her current edit.

One last question: Have we seen that clip of Charleine yelling at Selina in Loser's Cafe before? I know Charleine yelled at Selina in Week 3 (and vaguely remembered the seat positions matching) but it also likely fits the seat positions next week. Just for reference I'm talking about when Charleine yells "Do not talk over me"

I imagine we'll see it this week. Gary, Joseph, Selina and Charleine are on the losing team with Joseph and Charleine taking sides against Selina. She better be fired.

Selina is back on twitter, trying to set up an interview with a newspaper

http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/the-app...all-interview/

Could be this is the week she goes

Aw, diddums. Comes across rather as sour grapes, even if she does have a genuine grievance which, who knows, she may have. (I'm not buying it, though.)

Seriously though, who is naive enough these days to go on to a reality TV show and not realise that there is a risk of them being portrayed in an unflattering light, whether that is the genuine truth or a distortion of it for the purposes of making good TV?

Selina seems to have about 10 times the twitter followers than anyone else doing underwear shoots now so I assume it's just a step stone to Luisa type career

Charleine and Selina will not be on the same team

Perfect Housemate for CBB in Jan

Selina and Ola gawd help us

???

It's blatantly Joseph/Selina/Charleine/Gary v Richard/Vana/Scott/Brett next week.

It is indeed. Although you can probably guess who *won't* be on the same sub-team as a result ...

Perhaps I missed it, but when did they bring up her deceased parents?

Maybe I am the one being naive here, but surely if you do not want something to be brought up, do not tell anyone about...

They are

I think Scott must quit next week (not tomorrow) because one of the reports said that it caused the producers a major problem. We are now down to eight, with 4 weeks to go, so I'm guessing two get fired tomorrow-probably Gary and Selena. That will be handy, as it will save 'You're fired' the embarrassment of having no one to interview tomorrow.

Then next week is the last one before the interviews.. So two should go then, to provide four for the interviews. So maybe Sugar fires two, and was about to tell Scott he had made it to the interviews when he walked out. Can Sugar then recall someone he has fired two minutes earlier, so there are the right number for the interviews?

I do hope it's not edited in a way to make Sugar look good.

I reckon Vana, Brett, Richard, and Joseph for the interviews- the last two in the final, and Joseph to win.

Prepare to be disappointed...

It is tomorrow as from the previews Richard, Vana and Brett all leave the BR without Scott and he's on their team. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the papers they'll sensationalise everything


Yep prepare to be disappointed

I've a feeling they won't show him "quitting" at all, and that it'll be edited to look like LS fires him. LS implied the story was bullsh1t on Twitter anyhow, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it completely cut out the "quitting" part
