That 'walker' device was the most expensive piece of tat I've ever seen. Two footplates that slowly move backwards and forwards for many hundreds of pounds. Crazy. It's no wonder all the sales went through, the shopping channel must have been delighted to find so many mugs...

The fact that Phil and Flo stayed proved that it's all about their business plans and the finalists are pre-ordained. Yawn.
Well funnily enough that item peaked my interest. Not from them but my granny is in a home and sits most of the day. Sitting there with something similar to this would be good for the likes of her. She gets fluid build up in her ankles alot.

I’m amazed Maura and Raj made it this far. Utterly inept

Disappointed Maura went as she had promise but her performance on the TV selling was shocking!

Her dress on You’re Fired, though, was very pleasing…

You can get little mini pedal exercise things of all sorts and designs. My mum had one upstairs in a spare room and we agreed every couple of days, I would call her and chat/catch up while she used it - it became a great little ritual for both of us for all sorts of reasons….. she’s gone now and I’m glad we had that little ritual as it made me call her more!!

In the early hours of the morning, nearly all the TV channels become shopping channels selling tat for hundreds of pounds. Sometimes feel a bit sad for the vulnerable and gullible people being parted from their money.
My old boss never had any spare cash as his wife had done about £30k on one shopping channel in 1 year at her worst. She used to get invites to events for the shopper of the year or some such nonsense.
Lol my mum buys loads of stuff of QVC, mainly cosmeticy stuff. They have really good deals I got her an Elemis gift set that in John Lewis was about £150 for about £90ish.

Glad to see those that went go as they were both dead weight. I'm going for Flo and Trey for the final, the only two with any sense between them.

Hoping it's not a final like before, Flo and Trey are being portrayed as some sort of Elon Musk types but their business plans will probably be similarly naff to recent years.. she'll have an idea for a cup cake/jewellery/onesey emporium and Trey will be offering online beat box tuition or some sort of nonsense.

She had just started her own recruitment business, Sugar has invested in those before and had good results. Not sure what Tre's would be, some Wellness business no doubt.

If the formula isn't changed after this season then I'm done unfortunately. We've seen all these tasks before and the same type businesses win then generally fade from view.
It's unfortunately getting very tired, never thought I'd run out of enthusiasm for it but I have. If I miss it live I now tend to skim watch it on iPlayer them watch the boardroom shenanigans in full.

Trey seems the most competent of the bunch, but I thought he’d do better than he did on the TV shopping task, he struggled when the camera rolled.

Think his poor performance was down to the female on the mic who was meant to be giving him the info screaming into it so loudly that it was clipping and he couldn't hear what she was saying.

Agree that it will likely be either him or Flo in the final, wonder if all the cast will be invited back this year for the last task?

Trey, would have been a natural at this task, as he’s proved before in anything involving filming and editing; he was let down by the people giving him instructions.

Flo, is either a very good actress or she genuinely thought she was up for the chop, she had a real look of fear in the boardroom.

Definitely, Flo and Trey for the final, hard to choose, 3rd candidate irrelevant.

Suggestions that series contestants are the worst, I would disagree with. The previous couple of series IMO, seem to have far more incompetent airheads.

They only invite about six of the previously fired candidates back to help in the final task...

I think the most difficult challenges this season have been the winning teams pretending they are enjoying their prizes.
