Gonna make some predictions
JoannaWeakest by a mile, no way she wins, only way she can make top 5 is if she wins every task, maybe she gets moved to a team with Sarah/Jade/Micheala and they carry her into the top 5!
ElizabethRidiculous person, I think Lord Suggy has known for 6-7 weeks he is never going to work with this women, but has some sort of hidden respect for her bullish methods. Also he knows she is a real nightmare to work with and its a good test for his legit candidates to see how they handle her. I actually think she's probably a good business women and I wouldn't be shocked for her business to be legitimately good and her business plan might be one of the best...
BushraNot shown much really, been pretty solid and stayed out of trouble, very unlikely to make any massive donk offs so has a fair chance of making the top 5, think she's got a lot of ground to make up on the strongest people. She's won a lot of her tasks and a strong few weeks along with a good business plan could easily see her make an Alana style run at the gold though, wouldn't rule it out - would love a big price bet on her!
HarrisonMade a few pretty big mistakes in tasks and lost a lot of them, Karen and Claude like him and everyone seems to respect him, seems to be improving and the kind of guy Lord Suggy could work with as he'll be a real grafter, he might not turn his £250k into £25m but he'll probably die trying. I think he might struggle to get away with a huge mistake but might be forgiven a few little blunders as long as someone else is there to fire.
JamesSeems confident and strong, but has actually made loads of stupid mistakes, got bashed from pillar to post by Elizabeth and think Suggy reaching the end of his tether with him. Very well presented though and handles himself pretty well, can see him getting to the final 5 barring not mistakes and can see him having a solid business plan, think he's an unlikely winner but probably favourite for top 5 and got an outside shot at heads up.
MichealaStrong, bossy, handles the boys, gets the job done - made a few clangers (the Jeffriii / Siiimon incident was inexcusable) but she's good with sales, works hard, gets stuck in - can't imagine there's much for Sugar to dislike about her at this point, hardly lost a task and never been in the boardroom. Seems to already have a successful business too, which has pricked Sugar interest - I reckon she could be forgiven a medium sized blunder in the next 3 weeks.
Jade Hardly lost a task, never been in bottom 3, strong, good at sales, seems very well liked, doesn't take nonsense an strong in the boardroom, also on the strongest team at the momet regardless of who joins them alongside Micheala and Sarah - I think for her to get booted before the top 5 would need to be a series of huge donk - offs. Close to a lock for top 5 and without seeing her business plan, I think she'll be sick in the interviews but have a feeling she might have a stupid business plan... decent business plan and I reckon she could be a close favourite.
SarahLast weeks incident with the bird crap was her first real wobble, she lead the rabble to victory on week 1 with everyone loving her, you can tell everyone thinks she's great, she's super solid, talks a lot of sense and I think ticks all the boxes Lord Sugar is looking for, like Jade she would be forgiven all but the most horrific of errors in the next 3 weeks and has to be close to a certainty for top 5, seems pretty unflappable and should interview well so would have to make her favourite at this point.
