I think Frances is the favourite after this week, but all depends on the business plans I guess.

I think that LS definitely favours Courtney and Grainne. the fact that they got off extremely lightly about the jet skis proves that. i have a feeling that if it were anyone else, they would have been slaughtered in that boardroom.

Yes I agree - especially as Sugar then asked Grainne who should go !

Also, although Karthick is a fool, as I said on another post there was no need to have demeaned him in the way that Sugar did.

I'm now feeling pretty certain that we're going to have a female winner this year. My prediction would be two out of Alana, Frances and Grainne in the finale.

Hope you are right - I am not keen on Grainne but happy with the other two.

Dillon will win that's who my money is on.

He had a rough week but he comes back strong in the next episode and shows he has real leadership qualities.

So the consensus is that I've done my money on Trishna? It is hard to think of any outstanding moments, good or bad. For a moment I had to check she has not already been fired.

tbf she was sub-team leader, so he had to ask her. however, she should have also been brought into the final boardroom, but she wasn't. he basically favours her.

and I totally agree with Karthik's firing. yes, he was a total flop, but even his firing felt way too harsh. I thought that he'd at least be fired "with regret" but he wasn't.

Eh, to be fair Paul's actually been pretty decent when he keeps his attitude in check, and Courtney can also do well when he focuses. But I don't see either of them reaching the final unless the three I mentioned either implode in the next three weeks or submit awful business plans.

Well Dave I agree with your post about the women - but not about the men.

Paul has indeed got a attitude problem - a big one - and with regards to Courtney, as I have said on a few posts, he is nothing more than a poser imo.

In my position I have met a lot of Courtney's - and they are all the same - they talk a good game but actually about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Frances is getting the most positive edit, so it suggests that she'll make the final.

I don't see it being Frances, regardless of how good she was last week. And Jessica I think will bow out at the interviews.

I think Paul, Courtney, Grainne or maybe Alane will win.

i really hope he makes the finals at least as I'm itching to know what his business plan is.

I'm thinking that Frances and Alana are coming across the most level headed but Frances may be a bit too young and isn't Alana in the cupcake business? I can't see LS going for that.

I still think it could be Sofiane.

i agree. i imagine that Dillon will have a very unique business plan, and it'd be interesting to see.

as for Frances, i think that she's slightly too immature to win. don't het me wrong; she has the skill, but she's a little young and doesn't seem to have a filter.

Frances and Alana are about the same age, actually.

Take your point about Frances but it is mainly on tasks so Lord Sugar might not see it.

Well we could probably rule out Courtney and Dillon now.
