Karishma: Wow she killed it!! Besides one week she performed amazing every week and is one of the best to do the show. Worthy winner.
Pascha: Maybe I’m missing something but I think the hate for her is disproportionate, she was mid throughout but because there was barely any very strong contenders except Karishma I can see why she made it this far.
Dan: I liked him a lot by the end, he massively improved in the final tasks compared to the rest of the tasks. Having said that I think the two women were more consistent.
Lawrence: I’m so confused what happened to him because he was so strong in the beginning but was barely noticeable after he fluffed up his task as Project Manager. He deserved to make the final five but his firing was fair.
Priyesh: He is the luckiest candidate I’ve probably ever seen. I don’t think he ever really knew what he was doing and that was reflected in his dreadful interviews. Very lucky to have made the final five.
Rothna: She was definitely second best!! She had the best win in the flowers task and always displayed competence. It would’ve been a more exciting final five/two if she remained.
Kieran: Second luckiest candidate after Priyesh because he got about three second chances when he really should’ve been fired after his first one. He had his moments but they were far less frequent than his mistakes.
Conor: I don’t know what he did other than nag at everyone else for their mistakes without providing solutions but he deserved another chance since he was faultless besides that task.
I didn’t really feel strongly about any of the other candidates (except Levi, Megan and Andrea who were outright poor) so I didn’t bother with them but here are my opinions post-final.
