I never took to Jessica, as I found her very harsh towards others. Her girls are lovely

I can't see her winning but she will get a celebrity career out of this
IAC here she comes or even CBB She will drive everyone crazy with her continual wittering. Probably too excitable to do presenting

I suppose Luisa is the obvious comparison but much more likeable

Luisa is much more controlled and unflappable

You'll have to calm down a lot Jessica, like taking many deep breaths

Argh, it's over! Found it very interesting, think it's between Jessica and Frances.

Thursday at 9pm should be fun

Yes I think that's the final two as I said this final five show always gives big clues

You mean, showing how a good sales person she is? She certainly has the energy for it.

I really feel we'll be getting an Alana vs Jessica final two.

I thought, of the existing businesses, Courtney stands out a mile, there's a touch of Tom Pellereau in him, the person who design "things". Unlike Tom, he has a winning record in the process as well!

The other businesses just don't look remotely scalable, and would there be issues with Jessica's sister being her current partner?

Having watched this unexpected gem, I'm more convinced than ever that Courtney is going to win. He won two tasks as project leader and has a flourishing business that is already selling abroad and in Paperchase, but it sounds as if he needs to buy premises, as he's managing it out of his bedroom at his parents' house.

Francis is out of the running now, as this proved she is a loser who dropped out of Durham because she didn't make any friends, then married a rich footballer who set her up with a couple of children's clothes shops.

Alana's business is just too small; it's not hard to manufacture half a dozen cakes and sell them online - we could all do something similar. Grainne is just a travelling make up artist and I can't see that appealing.

This leaves the Prodigal Fox and surely she is just too 'flappy' (as she says) and volatile for Sugar to consider her seriously.

Before today I had a feeling that Alana would go on to win.
But now I find out that she's into cakes I now think that she hasn't got a bloody chance now.

Courtney would be a ridiculous winner though. He's shown an ability to do pretty much nothing for weeks,, is laid back to the point of indifference, and has won inspite of his foul ups - because someone else fouled up, and someone else on his teams did a decent job

.He may win, but it makes another mockery of having the previous 3 months. He would also represent a sixth another just in , or outside, the M25, winning candidate - further confiming a London bias - that politically isn't tenable for the BBC - if the papers notice.

And Sugar can't have yet another, mediocre, male winner - when he's had 5 females in the last six - when it would also mean 5 of the 6 winners, under this new format, were male . it just looks totally sexist - and he would rightly be called out on it.

How is is he ridiculous? Winning 8 out of 1`0 tasks, winning twice as project manager?

His Giin was clearly successful last week as well. It's only his pitching that is bad

He has no charisma, can't pitch, has filled his catalogue with other people's designs and lives at home with his mum so she can do his washing.

Has nothing to do with his own personal skill, the team won, not him himself.

Seems to lack self-awareness imo.

So he hasn't designed all of the tat on his website after all The "country" instead of "county" was a nice pickup and something about top/head designer when in fact he was the only one Someone caught him telling porkies, mum should ground him.
