As we head towards the final stages, it's shopping TV up next - can the current bunch recreate the glory of James Max and the Wolf jacket? Will it be happy days or chuffin' hell?

The place for conversating about it all!

And the wolf coat flew off the shelves. They listened to the bloke explaining the products, and took his advice about it being a bestseller despite the fact they thought it was a ludicrous thing to wear.

The candidates now don't have the same listening skills or ability to be objective.

The Final - Tonight!

From the wintery depths of January to the full bloom of an April spring, we have followed the 20 candidates for 12 weeks as, from Georgina and Nikki (who?) to Dan, they have been whittled down to two.

Karishma - runaway favourite, seldom put a foot wrong in the tasks and showed up strongly in the interviews. Owner of an established and profit-turning skincare business, selling acne-clearing rosehip oil online. A crowded market but she made a convincing case for her product's USPs when challenged by Mike Souter. Her numbers in the business plan were wobbly and, in the tasks, she suffered occasionally from an inability to listen to her team and follow advice, but overall has consistently been the strongest candidate.

Pascha - outsider. Not conspicuous in the tasks but did well in the interviews and seems well-liked by the candidates. Her business proposition, a recruitment agency for workers in the care industry, is only at the concept stage, but she has sound experience in this field. It could be very profitable, but will Lord Sugar value a mere idea at £250k, and would his investment even be enough to get it off the ground?

We all thought we'd see Dan in the Final, so strange things can happen and the outsider might sneak home - who knows?

We'll also see the return of some favourites and not-so-favourites Levi to 'help' our Finalists tonight.

Join the Mumsnet watchalong and tune in at 9pm tonight, BBC1!

Here for it!

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2026 21:03

I like Nick and Margaret too. Old school!
The girls look stunning.

AlwaysRightISwear · 16/04/2026 21:05

I've forgotten half these candidates.

CrushingOnRubies · 16/04/2026 21:07

I’m my biomedical science degree I think we had like a maximum of 2 lectures on dermatology. Having said that i am rooting of Krushna.

IHeartMyTissues · 16/04/2026 21:08

No, lose the Anne

Pascha had first pick but has ended up with the second rate team.

No, lose the Anne

I’m immediately thought of Anne summers and the branding around that

Fatfreefatball · 16/04/2026 21:15

How on earth has Pascha ended up in the final? And how can you take her seriously when she looks like she"s been punched in the mouth? She's only 21 yet feels
Like she needs lip fillers!

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2026 21:15

Why hasn’t Pascha thought about this before ? The Anne thing is bad.

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2026 21:16

If I saw ‘ be the sun’ I’d think it was sun screen.

IHeartMyTissues · 16/04/2026 21:17

Be The Sun?

I thought the product would have rose hip in the title somewhere ?

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2026 21:19

I used to like the 70s sun ads! So loud and brash.

JellyBeanSpring25 · 16/04/2026 21:21

Keeping Kieran on a tight leash! Can’t help but smile at him.

AlwaysRightISwear · 16/04/2026 21:22

Could there be a blander name than Real Approach?

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2026 21:22

Keiron is a character isn’t it.
He wants an action movie vibe!

SweetBaklava · 16/04/2026 21:23

I can’t see Karishma losing this

AlwaysRightISwear · 16/04/2026 21:23

I thought Karishma already had her product formulated.

JellyBeanSpring25 · 16/04/2026 21:23

“Pash’ann Care” would work (passion)

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2026 21:24

To many Ingredients and it’s an awful name ‘ be the sun ‘ I bet they all think it’s sun screen.
