Just noticed there hasn't been a spoiler thread put up this series, so thought I'd make one in case we find anything out courtesy of tweets/pics; or studying the preview clips each week.

Post below if you find something

You can probably work out quite a bit from the start boardroom montage as they had the men mixed with the women

Based on who was seen in mixed tasks/a task clearly about something other than advertising jeans/people who had more than one task-briefing walk shot, here are the options for week 2:

Sugar does something next week he hasn't never done before.

Fire someone from the winning team maybe

As for the beginning preview, I have stopped my recording a few times, and you have switched Jess and Grainne on two occasions (seems like everybody has problems with keeping the dark-haired girls apart, though I have a feeling that neither will be going anywhere soon).

Problem is Sherlock, they look the bloody same! Did have to guess on a few of the ones that I thought were Jess so fair enough that I mixed them up a couple of times

Still, looks like Paul will last a while, and Jess, Dillon and JD too. Think Mukai might be out soon (I'm still willing to bet that the guys lose next week, Jess is brought back from the winning team for the meltdown as they won in spite of her, but Mukai (as losing PM) goes), possibly Samuel as well as he doesn't feature too much.

Anyone else get reminded of poor Jason every time they look at Oliver?

They mostly appear to be still alive in future weeks. Therefore they haven't all killed themselves in a desperate and frantic attempt to escape from Jessica's incredibly annoying annoyingness, so she must have been fired at an early stage.

Task 3:

Summary

Alan Sugar has a sweet task for the candidates this week, as they make their own confectionery and sell as many as they can to corporate clients and to retail outlets in Brighton. But first he shakes things up by mixing the boys and girls and appointing the project managers himself. Then it's into the kitchen to come up with the treats, where one stressed candidate threatens to throw a spanner in the works, while the rest of the teams try to get as many advance orders as they can. On day two, the hopefuls sell their treats at the seaside, with varied success - and before long, the candidates are left squabbling on the seafront about lack of sales.

Assuming the shots of Paul having a tantrum on the seafront and the two girls in the lab handling what appears to be candy rock before it's set, we can rule out these people from being fired in task 3:

It is definitely Courtney in that boat.

Based on the info my guess is a double elimination of Mukai and Oliver

Well, who could have foreseen that? To be honest, when I first went through the videos I forgot Natalie even existed

New intro credit clips from ep 2 (I'm sure Sherlock will come and correct me later so if I think it's a possibility of 1 or 2 candidates, I'll put both):

Spoiler


And week 3 clips (end credits/YF/website teasers):
Spoiler


So from PatheticFallacy's post (and the team high-5 clip), we know the outcome if Alana's team lose:

Spoiler


If Oliver's team lose:

Spoiler


For my money, I'd say Oliver's team must lose (otherwise I think Alana would be toast given her BR performance this week), and possibly a double as neither of them have been mentioned in any preview clips.

For me it was always clear that she would be fired as soon as she was on the losing team again (her edit last week was terrible; I even sent my sister a text that Nat would get fired if they lost).

Didn't spot the teams for next week properly, but looks like Alana is one of the PM so that intro clip in the boardroom is also coming next week probably.

As far as future teams go, I can see Courtney and Frances switching (as they can be seen with members from the other team in the intro).

Think that the likes of Samuel, JD and probably Oliver are deadwood at the moment and most of the women might make it to the halfway mark (depending on when the event task will be).

You will be pleased to know that I agree with you, haha.

Think I can explain most of the clips (with several candidates in them). Assuming Grainne and Karthik make the switch in week 5 with Jess, Trishna and Sofiane moving the other way.

In that case the shoe shop clip is from week four and the clip with the tech guy further down in the series.

And the high five clip also explains Alana seen having a go at Dillon and Karthik.

If this is correct, then the following candidates are in danger of not making it to week 5: JD, Oliver, Mukai and Aleksandra. Assuming we get a double firing before week 5, 3 out those 4 will be out of the show by then. Unless I have missed something.

By the way, I am now pretty certain that you were correct about the mirrored window clip (almost certain that it is from the same episode as the clip with the tech guy) in regards to the female in question.

Think we will need new clips to determine who is still there near the end of the series, as most clips could be from subteams (though they might have sneaked in one with a whole team of three or four).

I think 2 of the preview clips (both from ep 1) involving Paul might be key- there's the one with him/Rebecca/Frances outside the hospital, and one with him/Trishna/Jess where he's on the phone. Neither of these can be from next week, so I wonder whether a) could both be same ep, and if yes then whether b) this could be the opposing team to that in the team high 5 clip. If so, at least another 3 candidates have to have gone by this point, so could only be week 5 at the earliest.

Need a couple more clips to see if that might work out mind 😁

Different subteams on what looks like day one though, so I would guess those are different weeks/tasks. However, the former could be week 4 with the latter being week 5 (comic con task? The clip with the three girls, including Jess and Trishna, is also from that task on day two).

Do think that the comic con task = event task, which would place it in week 6 at the latest (see bbc media pack, tasks are in order).

Think we do indeed need new clips. For me only the boat subteam team and tech guy subteam are probably safe until week 6.

Ah see the media pack refuses to load properly for me so I haven't been able to view it. Is it just telling you the week and what sort of task it is?

Reckon we need just a couple more clips, the reason why I asked about those 2 clips in particular is because none of those 5 candidates are in the team high 5 shot, and usually week 6 or 7 is the limit for the preview clips in the early eps (the one exception was last year when there was a clip of Richard on his own outside a building that turned out to be from the interviews).

At the moment, I'd say these guys seem to be the ones that last a while:
Spoiler


And these are the clips that would involve some team swapping for them to be task 4:
Spoiler


As for the one guy that seems to be everywhere:

- The media pack only hand picks a few tasks and doesn't mention the week. However, last year the tasks were all listed in chronological order. And we also have one candidate confirmed for the VR task (somewhere between week 6 and week 8).

- The intro last year also had very early a clip for task 8 (Vanaf popping a balloon, with Richard reacting) and task 9 (the infamous Vana & Richard hug). So, they could have slipped in a later clip somewhere.

- As for who survives, think that Alana has as many chances as Rebecca and Frances to make it far (none of them are sure to survives week 5). The only one missing on the women side is Aleksandra.

Task 4:

S12-E4 Liberty's

For their latest task, Alan Sugar summons the candidates to the Drapers' Hall, where he informs them they are entering the luxury retail business, with each team taking over an area of world-famous department store Liberty of London. Over the course of two days, they must provide a personal shopping service for some of the capital's most discerning customers, and also launch a new product line. While one team chooses luxury luggage, the others opt for feline fabrics. But who will turn the most profit from their premium stock?

That explains a few Frances & Rebecca clips from the intro (the one with Paul is also in London, so will just assume that it is also from this task).
