Is The Final Five show going to be repeated
Usually the Final Five show is shown on the Friday or Sunday evening before the interview show but it seems this year they sneaked it out on Wednesday after the "you're fired" spin off, which we missed as we were out.
Anyone know if it's going to be repeated? We don't have iPlayer so we can't do catch-up. |

The Karren-haters will be annoyed at all the positive things she says.

As for repeats, I don't think it is unless you've got Sky+ or iPlayer. That said, it will definitely be on YouTube shortly. |

It's number 4 on iPlayer at the moment, so definitely there if you have access to iPlayer.

Why can't you use iplayer ? If you're abroad it's relatively easy to access
![]() (unless you mean with tricks like changing your ip-address; in that case, no thanks )The show is however available on the usual channel, if you search a bit for it... |

Is it OK to discuss the programme now?
There were some interesting vignettes about at least three of the finalists. Joining the navy for a bet and serving for 11 years. The bittersweet story behind Charleine's pendant. Expelled from school but later inspired to start a business by a Christmas present of Lord Sugar's autobiography. Starting out after graduation by "smell what sells". Filling a suitcase with rubber ducks and photo frames and walking the streets selling to shopkeepers. Saving Private Ryan (UK version) The phone call in the middle of the night: "Hello; this is the Ministry of Defence. The fruit of your loins is underage and trapped in a war zone, but it is too dangerous to attempt an extraction so keep a stiff upper lip and fingers crossed." |

On the basis solely of their backgrounds as shown in The Final Five, so ignoring task performance and business plans, it looks as if in the interviews, Vana and Richard have to answer the James Max (from series 1) question: why do you need this? Both come from prosperous homes. Charleine and Joseph have to overcome the Joanna the cleaner from series 6 scenario: are their current businesses as much as they can realistically aspire to?
Which leaves boring, corporate Gary. |

The fruit of your loins is underage and trapped in a war zone, but it is too dangerous to attempt an extraction so keep a stiff upper lip and fingers crossed." Joseph, strangely enough, seems to be the only one who was still quite self-aware of his abilities. Richard seemed to kind of confess to them after week 10, but Joseph still regarded himself as the "Godfather" of business. Not sure if that highlights anything for Wednesday's show or not. Vana seemed to come across quite cold, I thought. I think that, had the first three weeks gone better, she actually wouldn't be here now. Strangely as that sounds, the fact that she lost as PM really came as a shock to her and she has done better since - he she won, she still would've been quite bitchy. Richard also didn't really seem to have an emotional story apart from his dyslexia. I can imagine that came as quite a shock to him, but if you compare that to being in the Navy for eleven years then losing your son, it's a bit different. He seemed much more humble on the show, though - I appreciated that. Then there's Gary, and I can imagine Karren was actually struggling to say positives about Gary. He was criticised so much as a PM in week seven, then Karren brought up how good he'd been. Hmph. Based on this, Charleine and Joseph would be the final two, with Richard coming third, Vana fourth and Gary fifth. |

Plus her twitter war with Selina (very finalist behaviour), her edit during the latter half of the show and her two boardroom gaffes. Think that all the candidates come out looking better, but that is the point of that final five show after all (mind you, even Richard's wife was telling him to tone down a bit). Don't think that the show was there to change opions on the candidates. For Charleine it is probably best not to make the final, as I think the backlash would become a bit more. There is a reason why many people rate her as fourth out of the final five. |

I watched it on iPlayer and found it really boring. Maybe it's the candidates?
Not very interesting at all. |

Based on this, Charleine and Joseph would be the final two, with Richard coming third, Vana fourth and Gary fifth. Gary's was mainly about being a nice guy and the comments about the business side felt kind of last minute in a way to justify him making it this far. I also felt like Vana was very over it. Maybe it's just how to-the-point she is anyway, but I got the impression that the show was done and dusted for her and she's now looking towards the future. Joseph's story about getting Sugar's book for Christmas took me back to when Simon won series 3, being an actual fan of Sugar makes the win so much more important to them. Charleine got alot of focus, her rivalry with Richard was even covered in her segment rather than Richard's. But she did seem kind of animated when she was talking about making the final. It was almost like she didn't believe it, or maybe she was just trying not to look so forceful or emotional about it, like she is on the show. I noticed Richard popping up in many of the other candidates segments, while he got alot of credit for his win/loss record, but there was always a huge "....BUT" that came with the positivity. However, the show is complete chaos now since it switched to business plans so it's almost impossible to predict. |

However, the show is complete chaos now since it switched to business plans so it's almost impossible to predict. Richard did pop up quite a lot and Gary didn't. I'm still baffled as to why he's here. As you said, everyone said he was nice and charming but there weren't many positive comments tossed around about his business acumen. The win/loss record thing shouldn't really be a record of how good a candidate is if you ask me. Sometimes it's alright - Helen Milligan only lost once and she was a very good candidate - but other times it's not. Katie Hopkins was on the losing team five or six times in a row, but (and I really don't want to say this) she was actually one of the best candidates the show has seen. She won twice as PM, and she seemed to strike a balance between being vindictive enough to scapegoat her teammates whilst also being good enough to land herself out of hot water. I really think the show needs a shake-up in response to business plans. It kind of sucks the way they've done it. Throughout the process, it could be like "Hey, you're the best candidate by a mile" and then they deliver something undeserving of being called a business plan. Neil Clough and Roisin fit this example, and I have a strong suspicion Joseph will too. They should really pick the candidates with already half decent business plans, that way, the only way they won't get through is if they're terrible or if they don't have the potential to pull it off. It's quite impossible to predict. Gary could even be the winner if he has a cracker of a business plan, much as I doubt it. Quote:
That is probably the least likely final (not counting a final option with Gary, lol). Any final with Charleine would be very unlikely, as the other candidate would be the massive favourite to win.

There is a reason why many people rate her as fourth out of the final five. I'd see it as a three-horse race between Charleine, Joseph and Vana. |

I have never gotten that impression in the past.For the rest, you can only say that Richard and Vana are upmarket and that Joseph and Charleine come from more humble upbringings. Also interesting point that it seems that the former two candidates come from a family of three children (Richard also has a sister) and the latter two candidates are only childs (no brother or sister in sight)? Interesting that only Richard got a talking head from all his competitors (shame really, would have liked to have seen everybody's opion on everyone). Also noteworthy is the fact that the odds on favourites to make the final, are the two remaining members of the original team Connexus And that in weeks 4, 5 and 7 80% of the final five were on team Versatile (which were also the last few wins for that team).Quote:

Personally, I think that Richard can only make the final if the editors/producers are doing a total double bluff with us (between the next week trailers, this show with even his wife pointing out negative stuff and the whole tricky dicky stigma). But, it wouldn't surprise me after all the boardroom twists this series

Did Joseph say anything about Richard? I've always found that to be an obvious flaw of the final 5 show, all candidates should contribute on each other. In fact, I think Vana and Charliene only contributed for Richard out of the other candidates

![]() Do think that they would show a sibling (at least one) if available (even grabbed Vana's sister along while going to New York for her parents). Just had a peak on the "meet the candidates" thread for the start of the series, and the final five I predicted (only based on their videos) have all long left the building (including Dan, Aisha and Selina ). Funny thing is that I did start my comments about the videos with Charleine, Richard and Vana, lol! Good thing to keep in mind for next year.

its not usually repeated so I cant see this one been different. I think BBC miss good opotunities by not repeating good shows these days like SCD
as mentioned though if you have series linked the show on sky+ it should have automatically recorded. It did on mine also. Not really interesting. Wonder if they will stay at 18 contestants next year or go back to 16? I think 18 seems the right number and it seems just right this year IMO. 20 was too many and 16 wasn't enough so just like this year happily go in the middle
