Anyone else looking forward to the new series?

First task is the classic buying task, but it's taking place in Hong Kong.

There's also a new companion show - 'Unfinished Business' - let's hope it's a return to form after several years of the 'All About Tom Allen' show 😆

Karishma is smashing it so far.

She might be my favourite. I also like Rothna as well.

Oh that avatar (??) looks horrendous!

If it was a game called horrendous breast implants workout zombies. Then yeah they hit that nail on the head!

PinterandPirandello · 12/03/2026 22:02

Karishma doesnt look the part but she’s got her head screwed on business wise and is shrewd. Think she’ll go far - what’s her business idea?

Levi seems a bit useless. He hasn’t stood out in any way this series.

The only thing hes stood out for were his hideous views on women, Muslims and police.

Judgejudysno1fan · 14/03/2026 13:32

Brownbananaspot · 13/03/2026 09:00

I don't like Levi at all, you can see he's got a temper. Not sure I'd fancy working for him.

Yeah, the whole coming back to the house and sneering with his face all twisted up saying DON'T EVER MAKE ME A SCAPEGOAT.

Cringy and stupid.
Lawrence was standing there quivering like a wet lettuce.

Nomorevape · 14/03/2026 14:22

I got the impression LS, BB & Tim didn’t like Lawrence.
He has seemed ok in previous tasks esp the selling but seemed insufferable in this one

And I'm disappointed that we can now find out what there business plan is before the interviews episode. Or maybe you always could and I just didn't notice. I try not to find out or it would spoil it a bit for me.

Oh, thanks!
I hadn't realised that their plans are online.
I'd rather not know until they're fired or get to the interview stage but ultimately I do like to know.

Karishma for the win 🥇

I could have sworn there was a past episode where SAS had criticised a team member's performance and when the Project Manager didn't bring them back, they got stick and fired for it as it was deemed a stupid decision given the circumstances??

PistachioTiramisu · 15/03/2026 18:58

Karishma seems the most sensible of those left - i want her to win. Also like Rothna, and yes, Kieran. Harry? the PM this week seems OK but a bit of a dark horse - not heard much from him which leads me to believe he will come to the front over the next few weeks. None of the others have made any impact on me.

I'm pretty sure that's happened multiple times over the years. Like all good capitalist leaders, Suralan changes the rules to suit himself.

Kaishmas business plan is upscaling her beauty/skincare brand. I think she's the standout candidate and deserves to go far but the plan is a bit questionable given the saturated skincare/beauty market, unless she has a great usp.

I noticed she was very gracious too when Sugar mentioned her not being in the pitch and her saying the guys had all the info, when really they were useless without her and she won that task for them.

I think she is savvy enough to know when something doesn't need to be said.. They already been told that the level of investment had gone down following the pitch.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 15/03/2026 22:30

Is anyone else fascinated by Pasha’s makeup? Her contouring (?) is all over the place. I’m no expert but I’m not sure she should have such obvious demarcation zones

Noshadelamp · 17/03/2026 09:09

How do they get ready in 20 mins at 5 am? I need two coffees, two poo’s, shower, hair, makeup and more. @WineBeforeWhine

I don't know if they've always said this but I noticed recently they say *the cars will be outside in 20 minutes", not necessarily leaving in 20 minutes. So I'm guessing that's how it's justified.
"We're not lying, cars are outside, that's all we said".

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 19/03/2026 21:07

Love how theyre now repeating tasks! Just less exotic location

murasaki · 19/03/2026 21:10

They were epically shit last time.

SabrinaThwaite · 19/03/2026 21:11

Tim is in his IoW holiday outfit.

murasaki · 19/03/2026 21:14

He looked like a rubbish spy.

kotordreams · 19/03/2026 21:14

Is Tim doing a bet? He looks ridiculous

EdithBond · 19/03/2026 21:31

Judgejudysno1fan · 14/03/2026 13:26

She might be my favourite. I also like Rothna as well.

They’re both strong contenders IMHO

IAmKerplunk · 19/03/2026 21:33

I like Rothna too

SabrinaThwaite · 19/03/2026 21:33

Who’s going to buy a second hand paddle board?

IAmKerplunk · 19/03/2026 21:34

Kieran’s suit is awful

murasaki · 19/03/2026 21:35

IAmKerplunk · 19/03/2026 21:34

Kieran’s suit is awful

It suits him, a spivvy suit for a spivvy man.
