Quite interesting to see the total breakdown of Richard.

Almost warmed to him after the interview with the plastic lady

man alive, both the ladies were lucky to still be in after last night

Charlene was a car crash in the kitchen, and the encouraging premise of the dehydrated raw vegetable crisps was completely overcome by the incomprehensible Vana decision to completely ignore the amount of oil recommended in the recipe


three go next week. who are your final two ahead of seeing the business plans?

without knowing the business plans and the various issues of copyright, securing web addresses and having a business plan that stands the first scrutiny it's hard to say who gets through next week. Based on no particularly scientific approach I'm expecting Vana and Joe to make it.

i am sorry you would think that the business plans would of been examined before they got this deep into the exercise
sir allan was left with 5 contestants and only 1 business he invest in and even that is a very long term deal

LordSirAlan has a clear choice between a slow steady accumulation of profits from Joe or a bust or boom investment with Vana.

Vana and Joe/Joseph (?) were the two short ones when I checked. Not watched any of the show but those were the names at the top. Seems the bookies knew. Who could have foreseen?!

They were both evens each of two after the first show of course.  Why else would bf offer prices on the rags who couldn't win (it is illegal to do this under GC rules) but happy to offer the correct prices on the yet to be recorded final?

You're right there George, it's been a sweet series for Al.

Only low point was when I had both pms last week, and you get £x for winning pm, so I'm a lock - nope, no winning pm for first time in shows history Cheesy

But ran good on the "with regret" part of the bet, knew Charliene would be nailed on for that one.

Vana ftw pls, she's my girl, Joseph is Dave/Stato's.

Vana must be like 1/10 to win the final.  There is no upside at all from a plumbing business for sug.  Pimlico pumblers has the kids business plan wrapped up decades ago in London.  

bf sportsbook make the bird an 11/4 dog?  Wtf is this already recorded?

I'm not sure I can cope with this next year. 5 terrible business plans. Honestly no clue what anyone was thinking going in with these models. Charlene and Joe have to escalate so quickly that despite being safe bets as the businesses will be profitable, the upside is a bit low. Vana has absolutely 0% chance of being a success. I have absolutely no idea why anyone would use a dating app without being able to see the person they are talking to. Furthermore, her point about attracting the good guys seems absolutely ludicrous. Surely every dating app has to appeal to women and men will follow. I know Ashley Madison had a ridiculous ratio between males and females and I think the appeal of Tinder is that women feel a lot less pressure and can be more selective. These apps need to capture market share and I think her USP was a huge negative instead of an actual selling point. Gary's model was an absolute waste of space, I wish big Al got rid of him weeks ago. Richard just put his foot in it and I really enjoyed him getting punished.

How did the new interviewer claim that 3m in revenue = 3m value of the business too by the way. I'm not sure if it was a weird edit or the beer but it seems like a completely bullshit statement too. A little underwhelmed by it all as I was really looking forward to this. I think I'll stick to Shark Tank in the future instead of this load of cobblers. They need to fix the premise of the show, it just makes no sense and I hope the pile of shite we saw today will force them to do that.

Apologies for the lack of etiquette earlier,

Regards RFG.

Interviews were somewhat anti climactic.

Can't see  vana winning. Has sugar ever chosen a true punt which stands to burn cash alarmingly. Give super Mario a couple of vans and a few tools and he can prob triple his biz in a couple of years. Some kind of return from a kid he likes and with an investment considerably south of 250k.

probably the right winner

he would have had to invest more than £250k and give a chunk to 3rd party investors with Vana.
