I'd only heard of Deborah Meaden and Zoe Ball, but thought it was a great episode, agree above, with the chemistry this lineup would have worked for a whole series.
Oh he just seems tailor made for it. Will probably over think some things and try and be too creative but feels like an inspired choice from Alex. I've not seen that much of Nick Mohammed as himself to be honest.
I’m a big fan of John Robins and Elis James’ podcast. He could either be brilliant or a car crash so interested to see which way it goes. At the very least, he’ll be very competitive and likely will have a few pedantic arguments with Geg.
seems like a classic mix of elder statesman/legend, wacky, competitive-but-likely-to-come-unstuck and two people I've never heard of. Should be a good one.
First episode possibly one of the strongest starts to a series I've seen for a while. There's a lot of potential for this cast to be one of the best of any series. No spoilers but an all time worst task attempt in the first episode is quite something.
This is a very very strong cast. I knew very little of Sophie or Joanne beforehand but they've brought so much so far. I knew what to expect from Steve,John and Nick but Sophie has been such a pleasant surprise.
I'm preferring it to the last 2 series mainly because there's no one outright annoying like Lucy Beaumont or a clear and obvious winner like Mae Martin. I do think ultimately it comes down to Steve or John to win this series but Joanne will probably run them close. This is the first time I've seen Nick Mohammed actually as himself and not in Ted Lasso or as Mr Swallow, I expected a bit more madness from him but currently it's just failure after failure for him.

Nick Mohammed has been a bit dull since far
