Maybe if you’re trying to be a serious business show, don’t cast people with terrible business ideas and don’t decide who gets to the final stages through a set of completely irrelevant tasks?Sorry, I don’t think they are being overly harsh. The contestants are asking for a £250,000 investment and if they cannot produce a basic document then it is going to be pulled apart, savagely or not. Furthermore, not many of their business models even sound like a great venture to buy into. A lot of style over substance - and some of them lack even the style to be fair.

And they seem to think Rochelle’s existing business can work (just not the unrealistic expansion).Marnie seems like the only realistic prospect here and yet they still did their best to make her look like a fool in interviews, but sing her praises in the boardroom.

I think we’re just not on the same page. The interviews have always been tough, but for me this episode leaned too much into nastiness. I found it really uncomfortable to watch.But they know what they are signing up to. It has only been revealed this week that one of the contestants signed up for Love Island too, so it just goes to show, that some do not even take it seriously and just want the fame.
I completely agree that nobody should be spoken to or treated nastily, that’s a fact. But I also stand by the point that you don’t go to a business meeting asking for an investment with ‘pie in the sky’ figures and fantasy ideas from ‘cloud nine’.
