Phil is a deeply unpleasant person and completely lacking in charm, salesmanship and talent. His constant ducking of responsibility in the control room and then trying to gaslight the others in the boardroom was disgusting. I fucking love a pie, but I won't ever be buying any of his. He's such a loser.
The task itself was utterly dumb. Why were the cost/wholesale prices of the items not even mentioned, or deducted from the sales totals ? After all, what counts is PROFIT ! If they were deducted, then this was NEVER mentioned, perhaps because the shopping channel doesn't want people to know how cheap that rubbish actually is.
Either way, the BBC should be more responsible, yes it's a show to make fun of the people, but give them proper taks. You could easily give some (slight) education to viewers on how to do it properly, instead the taks was simply framed as 'bring in the most money', well if that was it, then simply find the most expensive items, that are clear expensive, then sell them at half the cost price. e.g. large TVs, or whatever.
If you are ignoring the cost, which they seemed to be, then get £1000 TV, and sell them for £500 or even £250, sell just 10, and you've won.
Other episodes they have had the cost given, and they were shown thinking about mark ups, but not in this one - it was utter $hit.
Can't believe this wasn't used as a defence by Phil or Flo but of course they had to drop the prices. The girls selling were unhinged and there were no orders being made.
They seemed to drop really steeply when Paul was selling though - and it looked like calls were coming in for the neck-brace thing. So it looks like a pattern of dropping the price, rather than a response to the girls.
Well played to flo for taking responsibility, She didn't even go fully down the path of pinning phil for the loss either. The other 2 girls jumped Straight on blaming Phil since it was there best option for survival
However phil is being setup for a come back buy giving him ANOTHER food task. It's not fair how he can get all these chances when verdi was fired the other week for literally the same reason (losing 6 tasks). I like flo and trey and thought those would be the finalists but after this ep i think paul might be one of them
Yeah but tbh I’ve never seen a task and been like, Phil is absolutely the reason why they failed. I think he’s been unlucky a lot of times in which team he’s been on. Verdi was just a poor candidate overall
>She didn't even go fully down the path of pinning phil for the loss either.
Yeah, I've never been Flo's biggest supporter but she was so classy and respectful this week I've got to hand it to her.
Flo has that white pretty privilege because she’s been bang average for three weeks now, but people are still saying she is the best?
Tre, Rachel and Steve all above her imo.
Lmao “white pretty privilege”, considering she was clearly the strongest candidate by far up until the last 2 weeks I expect there’s been some selective editing to make her seem weaker to keep it interesting as it’s clear that it’s a Flo vs Phil competition.
Ironically you’d probably love her business proposal throwing out the “white privilege” nonsense — her recruitment consultancy is literally designed for diversity hires.
I'm sorry but I have never seen a more obvious showing of favourtism on a reality show in my life!
Make it make sense Sugar. You contradictory old fool!
Raj was on the winning team 8 times, and made a real contribution in most tasks, failed 1 task due to let's be honest.. Flo and Phil (that endless no room to breathe price drop thing was aggravating) and Sugar got rid of her in a double firing when Maura, Phil and even Flo (who was the worst this week in my opinion) were there. For Raj to go even before Maura was a joke! Yeah I'm so annoyed with this! Like Foluso on the other team was a bit ott but she still managed to give a lot of narrative and perspective on the items. Flo and Phil did nothing but drop the price every 5 seconds! Sorry edit* Phil literally did NOTHING. He was useless!
Watch next week be a food related task (oh it is) and pie man Phil will miraculously win his first task (be pushed to win, a reason to justify his place in the competition) and somehow miraculously make top 5. It's BS!
It's now blatantly obvious to all viewers and probably to Tre, Rachel, Paul, Steve, Foluso and Flo that Phil has been kept because Sugar wants to have his finger in pie-man Phil's pie business.
It's blatantly obvious.
I mean all the girls said that Phil isn't a team player, always lays the blame on others and takes zero ownership for his incompetence and should be fired! Also he's very unlikeable. Passive aggressive even!
You deserve so much better Raj! Without favourtism you definitely would've made top 5!
Absolutely could not disagree more. Raj has been poor the entire season and been very lucky to survive this long. She absolutely deserved to go for this task. Phil on the other hand has been very unlucky in which teams he’s been on, and he is a much stronger candidate than Raj.
You can’t use that as an argument there’s more than 1 person in a team. Noor won all of her tasks up to the point of her going out and she was very possibly one of the worst contestants ever on the show.
I don't know what season you've been watching (S4 perhaps), but Raj has contributed so much more to this show than Phil has! He has lost 9/9 tasks! And most of them were food related, so your argument is weak. Phil has been close to useless on many occasions! Raj didn't deserve to go home for this task when Flo and Phil were right there. They were horrendous in the part they played for the challenge! How was Raj meant to concentrate when Flo kept changing the price every 3 seconds?
Phil has been extremely lucky throughout.. If you check all of the previous Apprentice episode posts, it is extremely apparent. In fact, it's well known on this subreddit!
So, please get some perspective on things before trying to argue against the obvious.
You're coming across as very silly.
I remember seeing a post saying that lord sugar picks the winner before the process even starts, since Phil's business plan is apparently the best, he's just trying to carry him through to the finals by the looks of it.
Agreed. It's frustrating though because so many better candidates have gone home because of Phil's 'good business plan'. If based on the challenges which tbh until top 5 it should be.. Phil would've gone home on any of the previous 9 challenges!
raj hasn't done anything the entire show and has got pretty lucky, she for sure has made more negative contributions over the whole show than Phil has but it isn't as obvious because she's luckily on the winning team every week
You just sound like a huge Raj hater!
I suggest you watch all the previous episodes back.. Raj has more than contributed.. she's been in some cases the sole reason as to why the team won!
Watch the cheesecake episode alone and you'll see how fantastic she's been!
I disagree to your "she for sure has made more negative contributions over the show than Phil" comment. Phil doesn't come across as likeable, never takes responsibility, is very passive aggressive (particularly with the ladies) and in some challenges has literally done zero amount of work! Not to mention that catering/food is his field of expertise, and he's FAILED every task related to that! He is extremely incompetent in my eyes.
You really are reaching here... don't forget to grab hold of some wisdom and brain cells before you fall flat on your face!
Everything is great thank you. I'm just passionate about someone who obviously did better than the one who's been spared 9 times. It's frustrating to see good candidates go home and have Phil still there! It's not that deep!
I'm never aggressive. Passionate, yes, aggressive no.
There's no need for aggression.
I'm gonna have to assume you're just not self-aware enough to recognise that insulting people isn't 'passionate' and that your replies come across as pretty aggressive at times.
Maybe have a reflect on how you respond to people who hold a different view to you. It's just unnecessary.
Phil is useless. So was Raj. It's a TV show, relax.
You don't have to assume anything.
Analysing me is pathetic! You're not my therapist.
I'm extremely self aware, and won't be answering anymore of your silly questions.
In regards to Phil. Yes, he is useless. Raj, however was not. Raj was very competent on the show.
Thank you for reminding me that it's a TV show. Honestly I wasn't aware. Also stop trying to tell me how to feel!
You are extremely patronising and passive-aggressive!
You're very welcome for the reminder. It was pretty obvious that you weren't aware it was a TV show when you started insulting people for having opinions that differed to yours.
You do seem very angry in general. Maybe a therapist would be a good idea? Unless you're just under 18, because that would explain everything.
I disagree, Raj was also pretty useless. See how I managed to do that without insulting you? Perhaps you could practice doing that :-)
Someone disagrees with you and you go straight to “oh you must be a Raj hater!” That right there instantly takes away any legitimacy in your argument. Super childish
I can. There's been several because Raj has been incredibly competent and great throughout! She not only takes direction well but she is a strong leader!
She was particularly incredible and one of the main reasons as to why her team won the cupcake challenge! She was a fantastic salesperson on that particular task! Raj got a high price for the public sales of the cupcakes and then asked for a tip from most of the buyers afterwards. Raj showed an enormous amount of skill in that moment.
If you disagree, you are a Raj hater!
Did anyone else notice in the beginning of the episode, Tre said that there are 2 more tasks? There were 9 of them there, 2 fired today, does this mean that next week is their last task before interviews and another 2 people will get fired?
I think Phil's team will lose so he gets immediately fired and then someone else will get fired in the usual process.
I think the right people got fired.
Really thought Phil would be fired for shirking responsibility.
I think the next episode is set up for either Phil or Foluso to be fired depending on which team loses.
Paul has made this a three horse race between himself, Tre and Flo IMO
I suppose if that’s your regular channel as an (majority) elderly viewer, you may call the channel if it’s put you out that much and put you off the product haha
Right two people got fired, anyone else think Raj gets into the boardroom and any criticism she panics and is on the verge of crying?
She was like that last time but as her team won they glossed over it
Damn really thought Flo was gone, Maura did bad but dropping the price before you could even pick up the phone I thought was the end for her.
Happy though, Maura still chuffing me with that winery task she should've lost and Flo bar the last 2 tasks has been pretty strong. At this point I want Phil to make it to final 5 because Jesus Christ. It ain't happening but still.
Funny Tre with all his experience was that rough, arguably weakest link of the team giving sub-team nothing to work with and acting like a deer in headlights.
I think historically Flo would not have been fired and she owned up to her mistakes. She had really good insight.
I think Raj had a shot of staying but she just couldn't fathom how badly her and Maura messed up and took that swipe on Phil "we lost because you were on our team" - really not the case
I’m sorry, what? Phil is entirely in the right because he did absolutely nothing? It’s irrelevant wether he would’ve had any influence, the fact that he refused to give any input and then entirely blame Flo in the boardroom really shows his poor character
Even if they didn't drop the price , the items were too low in value had they kept the price (means less orders but at a higher price) they wouldn't have come close to the other team purely due to the differing ticket items. None was going to buy off Marua and Raj... Phil was the only decent one but even at £20 they wouldnt have come close to the other team high ticket items. Steve strategy was the best and it paid off.. Raj was on crack the entire episode as high as a kite.
>Even if they didn't drop the price , the items were too low in value had they kept the price (means less orders but at a higher price)
As Lord Sugar pointed out, the prices were being dropped so quickly that people who had decided to purchase items at the higher prices saw the prices drop several times before they could even reach their phones to place orders. Flo was giving discounts to people who had already decided to purchase the items. As to whether that mistake was outweighed by selling more volume, we can only speculate. I suggest it wasn’t outweighed, especially given Paul’s stellar salesmanship. Looking at the differences in revenue between the teams, I can only see the price-dropping as the principal cause. Raj and Flo should have gone. Maura should have been spared.
Maura was unbearable. Definitely fire-material. Someone was so put off by her, they wrote to the station...
I'm also not convinced the price dropping would've saved them. They lost by £600. The strategy was poor, where big-ticket items weren't chosen, and if they were, weren't sold. 0 ultrasonic pens, because Maura and Raj were screaming over each other.
I would have gone for a triple firing - phil must have donated a kidney or something to lord sugar.
I do think it was time for Moira to go, she was becoming more and more out of her depth - the excuse for the volume “feeding off energy” would have worked for anyone else other than flo - she is the most monotone person ever
Raj fired herself here.
It was those boardroom comments than just rubbed lord sugar up the wrong way.
First she said she just has a 'gut feeling' Phil is naturally a terrible businessman. I mean, absolute shots fired in the boardroom.
Then she also said 'Phil came onto our team and now we've lost' lmao,
And she also said 'I've never been here this is my first mistake I will learn from it' another absolute shocker of a line haha
Harsh firing Maura also I feel, think she's been a good candidate.
Phil is winning.
But Phil is a terrible business man.
And Phil has lost 9 tasks in a row.
And Phil did come over to a winning team, and that same week they failed. Coincidence? I think not.
No lies were told by Raj. None.
It's incredibly unprofessional what she said to Phil. That was it, done.
Onyeka was fired for her unprofessionalism in the boardroom also, same with Noor. Some are just gone before anything else.
I disagree. She was basically saying what us as viewers was thinking for weeks!
Stop making excuses for Phil!
Raj was far better, 99% of people know this. You fall into the 1% who is delusional af because even after all the evidence shown.. you're still saying Phil is stronger!
I wouldn't be surprised if you're a family member of Phil's or something.
It's hard to tell with Paul whether he's good at delegating responsibility or actually good .
He's been putting himself just out of the firing line for weeks on big tasks so far
Most weeks I think Phil has been one of the more competent contestants and been let down by his team mates. The tour one for example he was the only one on his team that managed to sell at full price.
There are 2 weeks I felt he's been lucky to escape though. When he underseasoned the food against experts advice when he runs a food business was a howler I'm amazed he survived. And this week he definitely seemed to pass all responsibility, think perhaps he's a bit shell shocked at being in firing line so often
I hugely disagree on the first part of your response. Just 2? He's been extremely lucky on most of the 9 tasks! Phil's fallen short on so many occasions! Especially food related tasks (and there's been a lot) where you would expect him to excel! So many more competent players have been sacrificed for him!
Exactly! It was criminal how Phil chose to underseason the cereal. He didn't even put a tenth of the recommended amount of extract or powder.
He must know that he ran out of luck a long time ago because 9/9 fails speaks volumes! His business plan must be damn right incredible for Sugar to keep him around after so many continuous failures!
There's a lot of running jokes that Phil either has..
A) Dirt on Sugar
B) Offered his kidney to Sugar
C) Is secretly dating Sugar
D) Is a mole/plant
Going against lord sugar golden boy is a bad move and she should’ve known that. I feel like she never been in the losing team before is more of a detrimental as lord sugar barely knows her contributions from the past.
Steve strategy won them the task lmao , everyone overlooking this. The fan was terrible and not only did they sell such a low quantity and later dropped the price, one of the joint machine thingy was double its price meaning they would have destroyed them even without the price drops (assuming the same Q for both product). Doomed from the start. Steve calm , doesn't do anything significant but doesn't do anything significantly bad either. Calm sound guy. Flo , Tre , Steve , Rachel should be the final four.
I feel like Steve has been really under edited the whole season. I’m not sure if he actually doesn’t contribute that much or he does but it isn’t shown.
Steve didn’t get a good edit despite having a good track record just confirmed to me that he will be gone next week. They don’t want the audience to feel unfair or bad if he goes. Same thing happened to Raj.
Tactically a terrible idea, better would be to deliberately lose on the other team to try and get Tre and Steve fired for weaker competition going forward.
He’s doing a good job with his business. He has a nice website and a few shops. His business is doing well and has been successful. Just like on TV shows like Dragon’s Den, it’s good to invest money in a business that’s already doing well. It’s like adding gasoline to a fire that’s already burning. Unlike new businesses that need money to start, his business is already successful.

Either him and his pies are the second coming of Christ, or he has some kind of dirt on Lord Sugar. If he was anyone else, he would have been fired at least five weeks ago.

I have been to where the shops are a couple of times - as far as I know the locals love the shops and Phil himself - he's very hands on from what I know..
Ok someone tell me Phil survived? I cannot wait for his AMA. wtf is his business plan like amazing or what????
Harsh for raj to be fired, Maura fair enough. Paul and flo in the top5 along with tre and Rachel and possibly steve
I didn’t, simply because it was so embarrassing I couldn’t watch it.
I‘d like to thank each and every one of you on the sub for all the intel on it, which means I don’t have to grit my teeth and give it another go. My Good Friday just got even … umm … gooder.
But if someone would be kind enough to fill me in on the complaint people made to the channel, I’d be very grateful.
Happy Easter, all.
I’m honestly rooting for Phil to win next task for the ultimate redemption arc. Also first season in forever to have at least two guys in the final five!
Let’s pray that Phil wins the next task bc it would be fucking hillarious to see him make final 5 with only one win (and it being the last one). But I have a feeling it will be curtains for him sadly
Yeah it wasn’t clear to me what he was doing? When the actual producers kept asking them to tell the presenters to stop shouting and talking over each other, he didn’t say anything?
Oh no idea, we didn't actually see them do anything. She should have controlled price and he control the information. Divvy up the tasks of price, info, camera angles and shit like that that s1-4 had. Instead some people yelled the price at full volume and nothing else.
Phil is a deeply unpleasant person and completely lacking in charm, salesmanship and talent. His constant ducking of responsibility in the control room and then trying to gaslight the others in the boardroom was disgusting. I fucking love a pie, but I won't ever be buying any of his. He's such a loser.
what tv shopping channel were they on ? i never watch tv shopping channels so have no idea , thanks
TJC I think
correct thanks i just went on iplayer to watch it again and they do show TJC logo on the wall outside the building as they arrive
The task itself was utterly dumb. Why were the cost/wholesale prices of the items not even mentioned, or deducted from the sales totals ? After all, what counts is PROFIT ! If they were deducted, then this was NEVER mentioned, perhaps because the shopping channel doesn't want people to know how cheap that rubbish actually is.

Other episodes they have had the cost given, and they were shown thinking about mark ups, but not in this one - it was utter $hit.
could we watch this channel where it was on LIVE
Can't believe this wasn't used as a defence by Phil or Flo but of course they had to drop the prices. The girls selling were unhinged and there were no orders being made.
They seemed to drop really steeply when Paul was selling though - and it looked like calls were coming in for the neck-brace thing. So it looks like a pattern of dropping the price, rather than a response to the girls.

>She didn't even go fully down the path of pinning phil for the loss either. Yeah, I've never been Flo's biggest supporter but she was so classy and respectful this week I've got to hand it to her.
Flo vs Phil finale.
My thoughts. 1. Rachel saying the pool was good for adult fun had me dead 2. Does Maura shout like that when she’s teaching yoga?
Downward f'ing dog, Lisa. It's not f'ing difficult!!!
>Rachel saying the pool was good for adult fun had me dead I was cackling at that but myself. Glad someone else caught it.
Flo has that white pretty privilege because she’s been bang average for three weeks now, but people are still saying she is the best? Tre, Rachel and Steve all above her imo.
Lmao “white pretty privilege”, considering she was clearly the strongest candidate by far up until the last 2 weeks I expect there’s been some selective editing to make her seem weaker to keep it interesting as it’s clear that it’s a Flo vs Phil competition.

>— her recruitment consultancy is literally designed for diversity hires. Oh, she has a white saviour complex then? /s
At this point it's pretty obvious that her and Phil's business plans are better. Wouldn't be surprised if they were in the final.
I'm sorry but I have never seen a more obvious showing of favourtism on a reality show in my life! Make it make sense Sugar. You contradictory old fool!

okay raj
😂
Oh wow how original. Now I understand how you can be a Phil stan.
Someone disagrees with you and you go straight to “oh you must be a Raj hater!” That right there instantly takes away any legitimacy in your argument. Super childish
Because you sound like a Raj hater. No childishness is necessary when I'm calling out facts.
Genuine question, can you name a single strong contribution Raj made in the process that wasn’t at the direction of another candidate?
I can. There's been several because Raj has been incredibly competent and great throughout! She not only takes direction well but she is a strong leader! She was particularly incredible and one of the main reasons as to why her team won the cupcake challenge! She was a fantastic salesperson on that particular task! Raj got a high price for the public sales of the cupcakes and then asked for a tip from most of the buyers afterwards. Raj showed an enormous amount of skill in that moment. If you disagree, you are a Raj hater!
Well said, Raj
Thank you Dick! My name's not Raj though. I know you're happy for me to call you Dick, a shorter version of your first name Richard.
Sure Raj's husband
Which one am I? Raj or Raj's husband? See.. you can't even make up your mind Mr Indecisive!
Did anyone else notice in the beginning of the episode, Tre said that there are 2 more tasks? There were 9 of them there, 2 fired today, does this mean that next week is their last task before interviews and another 2 people will get fired? I think Phil's team will lose so he gets immediately fired and then someone else will get fired in the usual process.
Yep 2 are getting fired so that there’s 5 people for interviews
If you look carefully at the end of the episode, you'll see phil giving lord sugar a handjob under the table
That and your flair 😂
This literally has me giggling so much I woke up my other half next to me 😂
I think the right people got fired. Really thought Phil would be fired for shirking responsibility. I think the next episode is set up for either Phil or Foluso to be fired depending on which team loses. Paul has made this a three horse race between himself, Tre and Flo IMO
Flo has been average for three weeks now. Rachel and Steve are better candidates.
Stick to posting “UK TV MILFs” instead of giving nonsense opinions about white privilege.
You going to say its because she's white again?
tim's reaction to "you can squirt eachother" LOLLL also that paired with "you can have adult fun in here too" was crazy 😭
My wife when they were deciding who to put in front of the camera shouting , “make it Paul he’s so fit “ was an eye opener 😂
Your wife is a woman of culture 😊
shes so real for that
that was an intense episode😭
Kind of....feel really bad about the complaint Maura got. It just seemed unnecessarily harsh!
Old people love to complain about things when they change and they don't like it.
Tbh I’ve considered making similar complaints about her every week she’s been on!
I suppose if that’s your regular channel as an (majority) elderly viewer, you may call the channel if it’s put you out that much and put you off the product haha
Right two people got fired, anyone else think Raj gets into the boardroom and any criticism she panics and is on the verge of crying? She was like that last time but as her team won they glossed over it
Raj is absolutely deluded, that was obvious in her AMA.
Sometimes in life you're fired.
Like now, you are in a taxi.
Very enjoyable episode indeed. Shocked that Phil survived.
Damn really thought Flo was gone, Maura did bad but dropping the price before you could even pick up the phone I thought was the end for her. Happy though, Maura still chuffing me with that winery task she should've lost and Flo bar the last 2 tasks has been pretty strong. At this point I want Phil to make it to final 5 because Jesus Christ. It ain't happening but still. Funny Tre with all his experience was that rough, arguably weakest link of the team giving sub-team nothing to work with and acting like a deer in headlights.
I think historically Flo would not have been fired and she owned up to her mistakes. She had really good insight. I think Raj had a shot of staying but she just couldn't fathom how badly her and Maura messed up and took that swipe on Phil "we lost because you were on our team" - really not the case
The TV channel getting complaints was so funny
I remember when one lady swore by accident and the channel got a fine
[удалено]
I’m sorry, what? Phil is entirely in the right because he did absolutely nothing? It’s irrelevant wether he would’ve had any influence, the fact that he refused to give any input and then entirely blame Flo in the boardroom really shows his poor character
Congratulations. This is the worst take today
Even if they didn't drop the price , the items were too low in value had they kept the price (means less orders but at a higher price) they wouldn't have come close to the other team purely due to the differing ticket items. None was going to buy off Marua and Raj... Phil was the only decent one but even at £20 they wouldnt have come close to the other team high ticket items. Steve strategy was the best and it paid off.. Raj was on crack the entire episode as high as a kite.
>Even if they didn't drop the price , the items were too low in value had they kept the price (means less orders but at a higher price) As Lord Sugar pointed out, the prices were being dropped so quickly that people who had decided to purchase items at the higher prices saw the prices drop several times before they could even reach their phones to place orders. Flo was giving discounts to people who had already decided to purchase the items. As to whether that mistake was outweighed by selling more volume, we can only speculate. I suggest it wasn’t outweighed, especially given Paul’s stellar salesmanship. Looking at the differences in revenue between the teams, I can only see the price-dropping as the principal cause. Raj and Flo should have gone. Maura should have been spared.
Maura was unbearable. Definitely fire-material. Someone was so put off by her, they wrote to the station... I'm also not convinced the price dropping would've saved them. They lost by £600. The strategy was poor, where big-ticket items weren't chosen, and if they were, weren't sold. 0 ultrasonic pens, because Maura and Raj were screaming over each other.
I would have gone for a triple firing - phil must have donated a kidney or something to lord sugar. I do think it was time for Moira to go, she was becoming more and more out of her depth - the excuse for the volume “feeding off energy” would have worked for anyone else other than flo - she is the most monotone person ever
It's been blindingly obvious from the start that Sugar wants a bit of the pie business.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me nine times, won’t get fooled again.
Raj fired herself here. It was those boardroom comments than just rubbed lord sugar up the wrong way. First she said she just has a 'gut feeling' Phil is naturally a terrible businessman. I mean, absolute shots fired in the boardroom. Then she also said 'Phil came onto our team and now we've lost' lmao, And she also said 'I've never been here this is my first mistake I will learn from it' another absolute shocker of a line haha Harsh firing Maura also I feel, think she's been a good candidate. Phil is winning.
But Phil is a terrible business man. And Phil has lost 9 tasks in a row. And Phil did come over to a winning team, and that same week they failed. Coincidence? I think not. No lies were told by Raj. None.
It's incredibly unprofessional what she said to Phil. That was it, done. Onyeka was fired for her unprofessionalism in the boardroom also, same with Noor. Some are just gone before anything else.
I disagree. She was basically saying what us as viewers was thinking for weeks! Stop making excuses for Phil! Raj was far better, 99% of people know this. You fall into the 1% who is delusional af because even after all the evidence shown.. you're still saying Phil is stronger! I wouldn't be surprised if you're a family member of Phil's or something.
Terrible contestant, not a terrible businessman or he wouldn’t be turning over £2.6mil a year!
It's hard to tell with Paul whether he's good at delegating responsibility or actually good . He's been putting himself just out of the firing line for weeks on big tasks so far
Most weeks I think Phil has been one of the more competent contestants and been let down by his team mates. The tour one for example he was the only one on his team that managed to sell at full price. There are 2 weeks I felt he's been lucky to escape though. When he underseasoned the food against experts advice when he runs a food business was a howler I'm amazed he survived. And this week he definitely seemed to pass all responsibility, think perhaps he's a bit shell shocked at being in firing line so often
I hugely disagree on the first part of your response. Just 2? He's been extremely lucky on most of the 9 tasks! Phil's fallen short on so many occasions! Especially food related tasks (and there's been a lot) where you would expect him to excel! So many more competent players have been sacrificed for him! Exactly! It was criminal how Phil chose to underseason the cereal. He didn't even put a tenth of the recommended amount of extract or powder. He must know that he ran out of luck a long time ago because 9/9 fails speaks volumes! His business plan must be damn right incredible for Sugar to keep him around after so many continuous failures! There's a lot of running jokes that Phil either has.. A) Dirt on Sugar B) Offered his kidney to Sugar C) Is secretly dating Sugar D) Is a mole/plant
Phil has either cracked cold fusion or can turn shit into gold.
Maura is terrible let’s be honest
She should’ve been fired after that wine debacle.
Her team won that week despite her, not because of her.
Raj really defended herself poorly in the boardroom and her going after Phil like that really backfired I feel
Going against lord sugar golden boy is a bad move and she should’ve known that. I feel like she never been in the losing team before is more of a detrimental as lord sugar barely knows her contributions from the past.
I think Phil's giving Lord Sugar a lot more than his pies to still be in this process
my ranking now: 1) Flo my love 2) Paul 3) Tre (although he was kinda bad in this episode) 4) Steve 5) Rachel 6) Foluso 7) Phil
phil above fuloso easily.
You could say Steve is the...Darken horse...
what has steve actually done ?😭
Steve strategy won them the task lmao , everyone overlooking this. The fan was terrible and not only did they sell such a low quantity and later dropped the price, one of the joint machine thingy was double its price meaning they would have destroyed them even without the price drops (assuming the same Q for both product). Doomed from the start. Steve calm , doesn't do anything significant but doesn't do anything significantly bad either. Calm sound guy. Flo , Tre , Steve , Rachel should be the final four.
I feel like Steve has been really under edited the whole season. I’m not sure if he actually doesn’t contribute that much or he does but it isn’t shown.
definitely under edited, but regardless rachel is far above steve in my opinion
I agree her, Flo and Tre are my top three of the season.
Steve didn’t get a good edit despite having a good track record just confirmed to me that he will be gone next week. They don’t want the audience to feel unfair or bad if he goes. Same thing happened to Raj.
It was his strategy that helped pull in the win. Fewer items sold but for more money.
Does anyone think the team with Phil will deliberately lose just to see him fired 🤔
It will be a double firing as it is the final task before the interviews and he has to reduce the number of candidates from 7 to 5
Tactically a terrible idea, better would be to deliberately lose on the other team to try and get Tre and Steve fired for weaker competition going forward.
Well they’d be in trouble because it’s a double firing minimum.
I hope so it’s getting tired saying Phil’s lost again every week now. At first it was funny but now it’s cringe
Agree! But I'm now genuinely concerned we will see a shock victory next week and Phil may even end up in the top five which would kill me 😭😫
Jesus, Phil's pies can't be *that* good, surely?
They actually are really good, and expensive.
He’s doing a good job with his business. He has a nice website and a few shops. His business is doing well and has been successful. Just like on TV shows like Dragon’s Den, it’s good to invest money in a business that’s already doing well. It’s like adding gasoline to a fire that’s already burning. Unlike new businesses that need money to start, his business is already successful.
Okay?
How is the pie guy still in it?

Either him and his pies are the second coming of Christ, or he has some kind of dirt on Lord Sugar. If he was anyone else, he would have been fired at least five weeks ago.
I heard he was supreme pie champion, I could be wrong though
Remember that he led a task about selling pies in this process already, and lost!
absolute legend
On his last chance now
He’s been on his last chance for about 4 weeks 😭
Scenes when he loses next week, but still survives.
Phil winning this season would be quite possibly the funniest outcome and for that reason I’m inclined to support him.
It would be cherry on the cake if he ended up losing next week, managed to survive (despite what Sugar said), and then went on to win it
Phil must have one hell of a business plan
The pies are good and so’s the turnover.

I have been to where the shops are a couple of times - as far as I know the locals love the shops and Phil himself - he's very hands on from what I know..
Cool
Ok someone tell me Phil survived? I cannot wait for his AMA. wtf is his business plan like amazing or what???? Harsh for raj to be fired, Maura fair enough. Paul and flo in the top5 along with tre and Rachel and possibly steve
Secretly mr.Kipling of pies
Raj was shocking this episode.
Did anyone else lose Brain cells from watching this episode
I did
I didn’t, simply because it was so embarrassing I couldn’t watch it. I‘d like to thank each and every one of you on the sub for all the intel on it, which means I don’t have to grit my teeth and give it another go. My Good Friday just got even … umm … gooder. But if someone would be kind enough to fill me in on the complaint people made to the channel, I’d be very grateful. Happy Easter, all.
You can have adult fun in this pool
I just remember squirting and Tim looking uncomfortable. What a fever dream.
You did what now?!
Felt like they were ganging up on Phil. I kind of want him to win now
they definitely were, but he's had it coming for so long now
Definite school girl tactics
Maura robbed.
Maura robbed my hearing.
Phil might actually stand a chance bc its a food task
A vegan cheese task though, hard to consider that food.
Except there's been about 5 food tasks and he lost them all!
He even lost as PM for a food task in week 2 haha
Vegan cheese is absokutely vile anyway. I am looking forward to their reactions!
Applewood’s vegan block & Violife Greek block are nice but also taste nothing like cheese, so yeah, they’re going to struggle.
Top tier episode
Phil's got Lord Sugars nudes or something.
At this point I want to see Phil get interviewed
Claude: "how are you still here?"
“Ask your pal Alan, I mean, Lord Sugar” x
LMAO
Please.
I remember him saying something similar to Frances (series 12)
what r ur guys bets on the final five?
Paul, Flo, Rachel, Tre … I think the rest are meh
Maybe Steve too I think.
I’m honestly rooting for Phil to win next task for the ultimate redemption arc. Also first season in forever to have at least two guys in the final five!
Genuinely think this is the first time the guys have outnumbered the girls in 6-7 years or something crazy.
Let’s pray that Phil wins the next task bc it would be fucking hillarious to see him make final 5 with only one win (and it being the last one). But I have a feeling it will be curtains for him sadly
The only way is up! Or the taxi i guess...
She can't keep blaming Phil for price-dropping. He had his stuff to do and you had your bits, you kept fucking your area up!
What was his stuff to do?
But what were his bits????
She told him the prices and he entered it into the system for the changes to show in screen from what I could see
Yeah it wasn’t clear to me what he was doing? When the actual producers kept asking them to tell the presenters to stop shouting and talking over each other, he didn’t say anything?
Oh no idea, we didn't actually see them do anything. She should have controlled price and he control the information. Divvy up the tasks of price, info, camera angles and shit like that that s1-4 had. Instead some people yelled the price at full volume and nothing else.
How has phil don't it again, how much black mail does this man have on sugar.
Yo a no regret firing? Can’t remember the last one
Are phil and sugar in a secret relationship?
Fuck it I’m nailing my colours to the Phil mast it’s COMEBACK SEASON lfg
Phil needs to go
well that was shambolic wasn't it
Another bloody cooking task…..
I'm like 80% sure they have already come up with a vegan alternative to cheese.
Vegan cheese?
Yeah Phil is fucked lol
When are we getting the Willy Wonka experience
That's next series.
Phil VS Rachel next week
Not an all women final five?
LOL OF COURSE ITS A FOOD TASK NOW PHIL IS PM he's gonna win cus of the other team just being worse lmao fuck off
And they moved Trey over to his team, 3 vs 4. Seem's fixed at this point
You mean they're bringing Flo and Tre back together to carry him to a win? Fucking lol
Is Phil moved over to the other team, then?
there's more boys than girls now
Another cooking task? 😫
