Just watched the first episode - I see they’re all as moronic as previous seasons.

Virdi surviving because reasons
Did not know that Virdi was an MC who travelled the world.
But most of them wouldn't get an Alan Davies question wrong on tv.
How do they manage to assemble so many ghouls in the one place. Most of them would struggle to spell their own names.
The show clearly attracts a specific kind of person.
Apple crumble topping on the fish cakes 
How Virdi didn't get fired who knows, he was responsible for them being late to dinner which had all the knock on effects. What's even worse is it was because he kept faffing around dancing etc - the looks on the customers faces after the first time suggested he should perhaps leave it!
If I were one of the customers, I'd have been delighted we were too late back to do the cringey dancing lessons
The annoying thing about when he becomes a business partner, is he knows from their business plans who will make him the most money. When it was choosing someone to work for him, skill set would have been more important

Watching this now. Karren Brady looking fine as hell in that initial boardroom meeting scene. 
Crumble on the fish cakes?! Hahahaha.

Christ these cheesecakes look horrific
This is a comedy. I will not have anyone tell me otherwise.
The boys have been terrible for a few seasons now. That sub team leader was so bad.
Mr Tumnus digging a hole for himself.
I don't know much about this nonsense, but every one of the blokes have beards and, to me, they all look exactly the same.
The doctor clapping at his team having to give 50% back in refunds causing them to lose the task was particularly moronic
He’s a doctor as well but comes across as a complete idiot, has to be scripted at this point.
The girls on the other hand are all switched on and miles ahead of the boys but im certain they have all got shit business plans.
Harsh on @Niall.
Absolute top w@nker ….imagine having to have that arsewipe as your GP
How shit were the boys?!
Karen looking fine, again.

Fishcake crumble suggests otherwise.
"It's supposed to be realistic"
Oh my, that pitch.
Also, "Steven Spielsberg."

“If I explain, it will be self-explanatory”
fecking hell. Every single person who was pitching for Fallen Escape should be fired. That was embarrassing.
I still watch this show, even though I stopped enjoying it years ago. With tasks like the game though, how are they really expected to come up with something good in just a few days?
They seemed to be trying their best to talk the investors out of backing them
Most of the tasks are like that really. It works better if you don't take it as a serious thing and just enjoy watching people who talk like they're amazing doing incredibly daft things.
See the show is following the same pattern as the last 6 seasons.
Boys team stacked with clowns who you'd struggle to believe exist in the real world. They fail all the early tasks. Eventually end up with an all-girls final 5. Then, surprise surprise, it turns out all their business plans are shit, and revolve around the same 2-3 themes - baking/cosmetics/fashion. Their business plans and inability to do basic maths get shredded and Sugar looks like he's sitting on a fresh haemorrhoid thinking about having to actually give his money to another certain failure.

Scandalous.
Phil making it to the final is utter, utter bullshit. Flo has been far superior in every way over the course of this series. She's been better in every week and every task. The show has unfortunately fecked it by being too much like a more convoluted version of Dragons Den.
Paul was also a better shout for the final than Phil. They've pretty much made the rest of the series redundant except for the interview and final episodes.

To be fair she was planning on using up all the money in 3 months
Phil hasn't seen the accounts in 6 months
This has felt like the worst bunch so far.

Tbf her business plan was absolute rubbish. I mean to get all the way to the final to then give a plan for a financial recruitment agency in the UK is suicidal. Phil at least had a successful running business that just needs a bit of fine tuning. I also think that Phil wouldn't be there either if the other guy agreed to giving up 50% for the total of his dentistry business.
I hate that it now goes to the business plan. I preferred the old version.
I unfortunately found out the winner a few weeks ago so I haven't kept up with it as much but what the feck were the business plans this year? Majority sounded terrible and just put together the night before

And the fact they let Tre even get that far in while knowing all along he didnt have a real business plan to invest in. And spent the entire time waxing lyrical about him anyway, turned the show into his own free PR exercise.
They did this at least once before a few years ago, pretty much letting someone through this far, then realising the business was not up Alan's alley.
But I think this is the first time there's been someone giving a business plan not just with no projections or product, but also no brand and not even a name.
I dont know how you decide to make an energy drink without coming up with a name and logo. Makes his place in the show seem like a complete con.
At least he got to try his drink.
Yeah, that's a bit much. Admittedly, I wasn't paying attention to most of it.
I bet the BBC crew threw that together themselves
Always a good sign when a drink is 60% sediment
Here we go.
If Phil wins this, I'm burning this fecking country down.

Last episode was bad enough in the days when contestants were actually trying to start new businesses.
now every finalist is some kind of already established food or fitness chain pretending to relaunch with a fake brand. it makes it even more of a farce
Peel it all away it’s just two mediocre family businesses run by mediocre people in sectors that you know for a fact Sugar doesn’t give a shit about
