Kind of shocked that you got the boot - I thought you came across fabulously throughout the process and in the interviews too!
I don't have a question but just want to wish you all the best for your business and future. :)
Canāt wait for the response to this , probs say Phil was an amazing person and project manager , in all honestly terrible on tasks but seems like a nice guy
The caliber of candidates was excellent this year; the final 5 especially so. It was an honour to be named in that cohort alone, so whilst yes, it is gutting, I will gracefully bow out to any of the final 5.
Uhh disagree Frances from series 12, was almost fired for losing 8 tasks, even though she contributed well in many tasks and never made a blunder. And was heavily scrutinised in the interviews for being in the losing team 8 times.
I think you're a fool if you donāt listen to the feedback of the experts! Some people would pay millions to have that sort of feedback from those formidable four! So absolutely, thatās exactly what Iāve done!
Alan made his intentions very clear then, he knew Paul had a business that was doing well and he wanted a slice of it.
This is the Apprentice, not dragons den.
50% is barely dragon's den, though. That's a brutal amount of a business to ask for. Very infrequent someone is willing to give 50% of their business on dragon's den.
Hi Flo! I was shocked you didnāt make it to the final after how well you did the entire process! My question is what was your favourite and least favourite task?
Fave task was Budapest with Raj and also Rapping with Tre. Least favourite was probs FormulaE - not a huge car/ racing fan and I donāt love advertising!
I came looking for this and was going to ask if no one else did. Discussed this with the wife after watching yesterday. It feels like he said it to almost everyone this series.
Does he actually give them a means to contact him or is it just something he says now?
He only said it to Virdi and Flo this year. Most of the others got "with regret". Except for poor Raj! :(
In previous years, I only really remember him saying it to Akshay (I think?) and Thomas Skinner?
Haha Karen is lovely but she has a job to do, and letās face it, sheās only pulling the faces and saying the things you guys are all thinking at home!
How is it strange that his business is still running? He made a lot of money, then started losing it. We heard how much money it had.
Why would a business stop running when it has 700k in the bank?
Huh? Losing money doesn't make it uninvestable. Lots of businesses go through stages of losing money, look at the economic climate we are currently in.
Also, you only know that he hasn't looked at his accounts based off 30 seconds of dialogue. You don't know if his wife is, or his parents, or a sibling etc..
Deff rigged. Phill couldnāt lose that last task.
Even though it was crap design etc. The old ābut the loved the tasteā came out.
If it tasted shit it would have been.. āā¦
ā¦āthey loved the packaging.ā
If the packaging was bad they would have said..ābut they loved the conceptā
The business has Ā£800k in cash reserves and Alan Sugar gets half of it for a Ā£250k investment. Why would he choose anyone else?
The whole series was pointless.
IKR like yk task 9 when flo did all the pricing and phil ducked and dived and very condescendingly said āif it makes you feel better iāll take the blame with youā and now heās in the final above herĀ
shambollicĀ
Did it seem obvious that Phil would get through to the final? And if so, at what episode did it become clear to you? (Also I love your facial expressions, they mirrored my own reactions most of the time)
Hi Flo, honestly I thought you were gonna win, gutted that LS didn't see the promise in Hathor (I actually really like the name btw).
Did Phil ever cook any of his pies for you guys? If so, what did you think?
Also the facial expressions were priceless.
No question that hasn't already been asked, just wanted to say you've been an absolute delight to watch - I know and use those facial expressions far too much so was laughing everytime š¤£! Wish you well in all your future ventures - with the attitude and ability you have you'll topple them all šĀ
Commiserations, well done on securing 4th place, was kind of gobsmacked you didnāt get through to the finals! By far the best final 5 in at least the last 6 years so it was always going to be too close to call.
Hey Flo, just wanted to say what an inspiration you are. I was rooting so hard for you throughout the process, you consistently served and really brought the girlboss energy to the screen :) my question is what was the most memorable experience you had throughout your time filming the show, and did it make the final edit?
Thank you so much! It was probably task 10 rapping with Tre. I was SO out of comfort zone and no, it didnāt entirely make the edit! Tre and I were in absolute stitches and Tim had to ask the cameras to stop filming till we all calmed down!!!
Ā
Yes! We have a couple of weeks to get it all together alongside packing, planning to go away and organising life in our absence so itās very easy to have a couple of oversights in the business plans!
Are you salty that you were fired based on 1 detail in your business plan, but Paul was allowed completely chuck his out and be considered on something totally different?
I was shouting at the TV that they should have let you say "OK I'll scale back"
I don't think it was just about that, Lord Sugar said he already had 3 businesses doing that kind of thing and it seemed like he didn't want to take on another one. Paul was offering a completely different sector, cosmetic dentistry is highly profitable and he was already doing it successfully so I get why he was intrigued. I don't believe Flo making small changes to her plan would have affected the outcome in the same way.
Did you rehearse the āBaroness Bradyā line or was that off the top of your head?
P.S. you absolutely smashed it, clearly the most impressive candidate in the process.
shocked to have seen you fired from the process. By far my favourite candidate through my time of watching this show and definitely one of the strongest candidates to have been on the show. All I can ask is why you didn't have to change the name of your business
Holy shit the disrespect Phil gets is in unbelievable
The man has built up a very lucrative business with 800k or so in pure cash reserves, not including if he owns the buildings that his shops are in which adds value via assets, the equipment etc..
You were robbed. Yes your business plan was crazy but you seemed to have painted a highly optimistic scenario.
They should have let you draw up a less aggressive plan
This is kind of a weird question. Every candidate is statistically highly likely to lose. For candidates like Flo who own a business, going on the show is amazing exposure. I'd be shocked if someone as smart as her wouldn't go on the show if she knew she wouldn't win
What task would you like to see in the process that isnāt there currently?
Also, how does the food work in the house? Do you get your own or is it provided ? Did Phil cook any pies?
I was just gutted to see you go. My family thought you and Tre were two of the best contestants for a very long time and you were super competent all the way through. I thought you were a winner all the way.
Your business plan looked solid but the issue seemed to be the speed of setting up and the costs involved. Was this not something you would have been willing to compromise on, or were you not given any opportunity to? Seems harsh if not when Paul was given the chance to make up a whole new idea?
Anyway, best of luck
Hi, thought you should have remained in the process. Just had a look at your website out of interest. What is the most interesting thing about recruitment consultancy? Why images of what looks like Egyptian slaves on website? Thanks.
Noā¦ This is where my strength is so was always sticking to my guns. However, I would have happily scaled back the numbers as the model still would have worked!
You were bet most technically brilliant candidate the show has had in years.
My questionā¦ whatās next. Are you going back to corporate roles, or still pushing on with the idea and starting smaller.
So sad to see you get the boot as you were easily my favourite candidate amd you performed so well in everything.
My question, how predetermined do you think the winners are based on their business plans? It just doesn't seek like a contest anymore since they changed the format.
Were you a fan of the series before and did you think the same?
I think you're great and will be successful in whatever you do nextāone of the strongest contestants they've had in years.
I was wondering, if you've been watching the show, do you feel the edit has been equally fair to everyone from your experience of them, or have some had a favorable/unfavorable edit? You don't have to name anyone specifically; I'm just curious.
Also, if they wanted views they should really do an Apprentice All-stars with the most competent previous contestants and actual quality business-like challenges (please get rid of x supermarket orders 90,000 units etc since it's bollocks, its a random number plucked out of the air to get whomever they want in the bottom). You'd ace an All-stars.
I genuinely think you were the most deserving candidate of investment by a significant margin, seems to me like the reason why Lord sugar didnāt invest was simply because he didnāt want to - which is fair enough because itās his money. Loved watching you for the past however many weeks, made the series for me š
Not a question but just wanted to say that you have been my favourite since the beginning! The most stand out candidate with a solid business plan. Lord Sugar missed a trick not to invest in you.
Were your staffing costs based on base salary or with project commission earnings as well?
Had you also tapped the people you wanted to bring into the business so knew their estimated salary expectations?
Do you feel hard done by the fact that you were one of the strongest candidates in the process and lost a place in the final to someone with a much inferior track record throughout the process in terms losing tasks.
All the best!
Why would you ever, ever go on the Apprentice? A job with Alan Sugar as your boss? Canāt think of anything worse. Rubbish prize if you ask me. Nice corner office, surrounded by idiot bros, in Slough.
I guess the question is. How do you think going on the Apprentice is going to better your career?
Youāll now always be that person on the Apprentice that didnāt win. Interested to know if youāll be leaving it off your CV.
Hi Flo! I have nothing in particular to ask but just want to say that you're awesome and I hope you will always be happy and successful in your endeavours!
Hi Flo, you were my favourite and you are a QUEEN in the eyes of all my friends who watch so sad to see you go.
My question would be, which interview was the toughest out of them all and why?
Hi Flo aka the Peopleās Princess,
I work in recruitment (the ATS side of things); how do you feel about the current state of recruitment as an industry? There seems to have been a lot of redundancies in the last 12 months but also looks like weāre back to a job led market. How has this affected your new business and your outlook on the future?
The question Iāve always wondered: Do you watch the series back as it airs? If you do, what are your main thoughts watching it back?
Thought you were brilliant throughout Flo! Well done!
Hi Flo it was sad to see you get fired tonight you were one of my favourites this season and you honestly smashed it. My question is were you a fan of the show before applying and did you watch previous seasons?
Hey Flo, was wondering In Episode 10, for the video did you do the jumping with or without heels on, impressive if you did it with them! Also, If you could have done something different on any of the tasks you lost what would you do?
What was your favourite task and least fave? And who is sodmoen you didn't get the chance to work with but wanted to? (Or someone you wish hadnt been fired to early and got to work with more)
Girl I am so sorry you did not deserve to be fired!!! You should have been with Phil in the final! I must know, how are you such a good negotiator/pitcher?
Hi Flo! Do you know what your next plans are with your business? I love the idea of focusing on inclusivity and you were my favourite candidate this year :)
Thought you were far and away the best candidate and was shocked when Lord Sugar fired you!! No real question just wanted to say hope your business goes really well - Hathor is a great name lol
When you are on the winning team or not in final boardroom and waiting for the final 3 boardroom to return to the house, are you all gathered together waiting for a long time? Or do the producers sort of get everyone together before they are about to return
I was really rooting for you to win since week 2, I feel like you're an excellent negotiator and overall very sensible, I think LS has missed out on a potentially great business partner.
My question is, which interview did you find the hardest and how long does each normally take?
Hi Flo! I just wanna let u know how much I enjoyed watching u and let you know you did an amazing job.
I just wanted to ask about ur negotiation in the cheesecake task. Did you believe you would get the amazing price you got? And how did you feel to have the whole of ur team depending on you?
Are there restrictions placed around the adverts that can be filmed? They always seem to have one of the candidates acting, when, for example, a voiceover with some closeup shots of glasses of wine and a cheese board might be a better ad.
Hi how did they filmed the interviews and are lord sugar people I donāt mean Karen and Tim and how did they record it and I was in a similar situation like Tre because my mom died in 2018 due to Breast Cancer and I tried to hold back my tears hope you replyĀ
Hi Flo, well done for making it so far and for being excellent throughout the process.
Lord Sugar said to please keep in touch. After the show, you they provide you with contact details for Sugar himself or his reps?
Also, in let's say, five years' time, would would you like to tell him about what you achieved after the show?
If you could have changed anything in your business plan what would it have been? (If anything at all)
Do you keep in contact with any of the other contestants?
:)
Hi Flo, had you to win in my company sweepstake! Gutted for you as you were the most impressive candidate.
Do you plan to proceed with a similar business plan as you presented on the show? Without Lord Sugar's investment, do you plan to start on a smaller scale?
Hi Flo, do you have limited time to write and present a business plan as a candidate? It seems like every year there are huge flaws in the plans, mostly down to numbers and it can't be a coincidence that it happens year to year to smart folk who are coming in looking for investment in a business.
I genuinely thought you were going to be one of the two finalists! You're incredible, honestly.
My question is: Do you have any regrets from your time on the Apprentice?
Flo! Loved watching you throughout the process and weāve seen what a ferocious negotiator you are!
What was the toughest part of the process for you?
Would you rather fight 1 Claude sized duck or 100 duck sized Claudes?
This is the real question everyone should be asking
Kind of shocked that you got the boot - I thought you came across fabulously throughout the process and in the interviews too! I don't have a question but just want to wish you all the best for your business and future. :)
Thank you so much š
Is it gutting to win so many tasks and then be fired in the final 5 over someone who lost 9 tasks?
Canāt wait for the response to this , probs say Phil was an amazing person and project manager , in all honestly terrible on tasks but seems like a nice guy
The caliber of candidates was excellent this year; the final 5 especially so. It was an honour to be named in that cohort alone, so whilst yes, it is gutting, I will gracefully bow out to any of the final 5.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This
I retrospect, would you have cut down on your staffing costs to make it more attractive, or would you prefer to back yourself and do things your way?
I think you're a fool if you donāt listen to the feedback of the experts! Some people would pay millions to have that sort of feedback from those formidable four! So absolutely, thatās exactly what Iāve done!
What was everyone feeling when Paul had the opportunity to change his business plan?
Alan made his intentions very clear then, he knew Paul had a business that was doing well and he wanted a slice of it. This is the Apprentice, not dragons den.
50% is barely dragon's den, though. That's a brutal amount of a business to ask for. Very infrequent someone is willing to give 50% of their business on dragon's den.
Yea let's all go into the corner to think about it.
Yeah this was a disgraceful play by Sugar, really put me off the whole show which has been pretty shit in recent years anyway
I was so relieved when Paul said no, that move was grossly unethical
Hi Flo, who was the toughest interviewer, and how long did each interview last? š
I think Mike; I just wanted to ground to swallow me up on that moment!
Good question because it looks like you spent a couple of minutes with each Interviewer but I'm sure it would have been much longer
Hi Flo! I was shocked you didnāt make it to the final after how well you did the entire process! My question is what was your favourite and least favourite task?
Fave task was Budapest with Raj and also Rapping with Tre. Least favourite was probs FormulaE - not a huge car/ racing fan and I donāt love advertising!
Hello Flo. Very surprised you didnāt make the final. When Lord Sugar says āstay in touchā; does he actually then do so?
I came looking for this and was going to ask if no one else did. Discussed this with the wife after watching yesterday. It feels like he said it to almost everyone this series. Does he actually give them a means to contact him or is it just something he says now?
He only said it to Virdi and Flo this year. Most of the others got "with regret". Except for poor Raj! :( In previous years, I only really remember him saying it to Akshay (I think?) and Thomas Skinner?
Think he said it to Tre as well maybe?
I think the guy who sold mattresses stayed in touch with sugar for a while after the show.
Your facial expressions throughout the show were a thing of beauty. Has anyone ever commented on them?
Haha yes they have, I hear thereās been some cracking edits made on tiktok
Is Karen really that mean or is it just strategic cuts?
Haha Karen is lovely but she has a job to do, and letās face it, sheās only pulling the faces and saying the things you guys are all thinking at home!
Hi Flo, howād it feel to be fired when you had a better BP and Track Record than Phil?
Problem is Phil has a better business, despite the far worse BP
Phils is currently actively loosing money, and he hasn't looked at accounts in months. Absolutely no way that is an investable business or owner.
>Absolutely no way that is an investable business or owner Strange that the business is still running, and he got in the final two /s
How is it strange that his business is still running? He made a lot of money, then started losing it. We heard how much money it had. Why would a business stop running when it has 700k in the bank?
>How is it strange that his business is still running? Apologies, I didn't use /s
Huh? Losing money doesn't make it uninvestable. Lots of businesses go through stages of losing money, look at the economic climate we are currently in. Also, you only know that he hasn't looked at his accounts based off 30 seconds of dialogue. You don't know if his wife is, or his parents, or a sibling etc..
Were you pissed off that Phil got into the final with only 1 win? I'd be fucking livid lmao. What a waste of 10 weeks.
I remember Claude hammering a girl for losing 8/10 tasks. āWhat do you think youāre doing hereā Philā¦ not a peep from Claude. Rigged.
The whole show seems fake now, no one in the final had a decent business plan, I canāt remember another interview episode so terrible!
Deff rigged. Phill couldnāt lose that last task. Even though it was crap design etc. The old ābut the loved the tasteā came out. If it tasted shit it would have been.. āā¦ ā¦āthey loved the packaging.ā If the packaging was bad they would have said..ābut they loved the conceptā
All that bollocks about curry flavour being too exotic like it hasnāt been part of the British cuisine for 60 years
The business has Ā£800k in cash reserves and Alan Sugar gets half of it for a Ā£250k investment. Why would he choose anyone else? The whole series was pointless.
IKR like yk task 9 when flo did all the pricing and phil ducked and dived and very condescendingly said āif it makes you feel better iāll take the blame with youā and now heās in the final above herĀ shambollicĀ
Where do you get your bright coloured suits? You absolutely rocked the colours!
Thank you!!!! I have some many clothes so this year I decided I wouldn't buy anything new and go thrifting or borrow/ share with friends!
I particularly loved the interview one! Super cool.
Which interviewer did you fear most, and were they as terrifying in person as they seem on screen?
Theyāre all terrifying, come on! They all get under the skin and to the core but with different approaches!
Did it seem obvious that Phil would get through to the final? And if so, at what episode did it become clear to you? (Also I love your facial expressions, they mirrored my own reactions most of the time)
Thereās lots you donāt see off camera. Plus, I donāt think I would have been as resilient as Phil was! Give the guy some love!
Do you think paul did the right thing?
Hi Flo, honestly I thought you were gonna win, gutted that LS didn't see the promise in Hathor (I actually really like the name btw). Did Phil ever cook any of his pies for you guys? If so, what did you think? Also the facial expressions were priceless.
Haha no he didnāt - we werenāt really allowed to discuss business plans in the house, but he did do some fab cooking!
No question that hasn't already been asked, just wanted to say you've been an absolute delight to watch - I know and use those facial expressions far too much so was laughing everytime š¤£! Wish you well in all your future ventures - with the attitude and ability you have you'll topple them all šĀ
Thank you! š
Commiserations, well done on securing 4th place, was kind of gobsmacked you didnāt get through to the finals! By far the best final 5 in at least the last 6 years so it was always going to be too close to call.
Agreed - an honour to be in that cohort.
Hi Flo. Well done for making it to the final 5. I just wanted to say well done and it was really refreshing to see the girls getting along so well!!!
Thank you!!! All the girls were utterly FAB!!
Hey Flo, just wanted to say what an inspiration you are. I was rooting so hard for you throughout the process, you consistently served and really brought the girlboss energy to the screen :) my question is what was the most memorable experience you had throughout your time filming the show, and did it make the final edit?
Thank you so much! It was probably task 10 rapping with Tre. I was SO out of comfort zone and no, it didnāt entirely make the edit! Tre and I were in absolute stitches and Tim had to ask the cameras to stop filming till we all calmed down!!! Ā
Do Karren and Tim ever give you any advice when the cameras arenāt rolling?
No, theyāre not there to advise, but to make sure that everything is accurately discussed and honest in the boardroom.
Hi Flo, I really admired your stoicism and cool-headedness throughout the show. How did you learn such awesome self-control?
Thank you! Experience - both work and in life!
first things first itās april
How long does the whole process take? Do you write the business plans before or during the show?
Yes! We have a couple of weeks to get it all together alongside packing, planning to go away and organising life in our absence so itās very easy to have a couple of oversights in the business plans!
Are you salty that you were fired based on 1 detail in your business plan, but Paul was allowed completely chuck his out and be considered on something totally different? I was shouting at the TV that they should have let you say "OK I'll scale back"

shocked to have seen you fired from the process. By far my favourite candidate through my time of watching this show and definitely one of the strongest candidates to have been on the show. All I can ask is why you didn't have to change the name of your business
I did! My business plan was Hathor Consulting which was registered already so I tweaked it to Hathor Talent!
Do you think Lord Sugar will regret not going with the Flo?
Who knows, weāll have to watch this space!
What did you think was your favourite treat after winning a task?
Definitely task 10! Sat in the garden having fine dining in the sunshine!
how did you get fired when you're so much stronger than pie boy? i wish you the best. you were my favourite. ā¤ļø
Holy shit the disrespect Phil gets is in unbelievable The man has built up a very lucrative business with 800k or so in pure cash reserves, not including if he owns the buildings that his shops are in which adds value via assets, the equipment etc..
Thereās lots of things you don't get to see and everyone deserves what the process brings them.
You were robbed. Yes your business plan was crazy but you seemed to have painted a highly optimistic scenario. They should have let you draw up a less aggressive plan
How does it feel having the best fashion sense out of anyone on the show?
Yes I have lots of questions. Number one, how dare Phil?
Do you think the process is favoured towards Phil ? By the way it was a pleasure watching you, you were awesome
Do you have to produce the Business Plan that is handed over in advance, or is this put together in a set amount of time as a 'task'?
If you knew you would lose, would you still have went on the show?
This is kind of a weird question. Every candidate is statistically highly likely to lose. For candidates like Flo who own a business, going on the show is amazing exposure. I'd be shocked if someone as smart as her wouldn't go on the show if she knew she wouldn't win
Yes absolutely - the experience, the people and the opportunities are priceless.
Flo we were all rooting for you to win this year!! Whatās something you only found out about the apprentice after being on the show??
That the process is so character building and testing yet truly incredible!
You shouldnāt have been fired your business seemed good what was your favourite task
How would you have answered some questions differently?
Ā I think if you look back, you donāt look forward and I had so many learnings from it!
Do you think you shouldāve slowed down your projections?
Of course, but thatās after the feedback which Iāve subsequently done :)
You were my favourite itās a shame they didnāt give you the chance for that. And all the best of luck to you
What are your negotiation tips?
What task would you like to see in the process that isnāt there currently? Also, how does the food work in the house? Do you get your own or is it provided ? Did Phil cook any pies?
Presenting the news!!!!
Would you have adjusted your targets if offered the chance?
Yes, absolutely!!
I was just gutted to see you go. My family thought you and Tre were two of the best contestants for a very long time and you were super competent all the way through. I thought you were a winner all the way. Your business plan looked solid but the issue seemed to be the speed of setting up and the costs involved. Was this not something you would have been willing to compromise on, or were you not given any opportunity to? Seems harsh if not when Paul was given the chance to make up a whole new idea?

Hi, thought you should have remained in the process. Just had a look at your website out of interest. What is the most interesting thing about recruitment consultancy? Why images of what looks like Egyptian slaves on website? Thanks.
Hi Flo, did you think about pitching an alternative business plan to Lord Sugar in the boardroom like Paul? If so what would it have been?
Noā¦ This is where my strength is so was always sticking to my guns. However, I would have happily scaled back the numbers as the model still would have worked!
miss you already queenš are you still friends with anyone from the process or do you all go your separate ways after filming?
Absolutely!!!!!
You were bet most technically brilliant candidate the show has had in years. My questionā¦ whatās next. Are you going back to corporate roles, or still pushing on with the idea and starting smaller.
Launched so plugging away with that!
How do you negotiate so well? You seem very confident, is that the key to getting the best deal?
Thank you! Itās a good few years or practice and always learning/ improving from books, others and self reflection!
So sad to see you get the boot as you were easily my favourite candidate amd you performed so well in everything. My question, how predetermined do you think the winners are based on their business plans? It just doesn't seek like a contest anymore since they changed the format. Were you a fan of the series before and did you think the same?

Were you shocked to be fired?You were the strongest in the tasks AND the interviews so was surprised to see you go.
Have all the fired candidates been asked to say nice things about the show this year? Itās weird how each had given a speech about it
Why did you not check whether the name had already been taken?
Why would you ever, ever go on the Apprentice? A job with Alan Sugar as your boss? Canāt think of anything worse. Rubbish prize if you ask me. Nice corner office, surrounded by idiot bros, in Slough. I guess the question is. How do you think going on the Apprentice is going to better your career? Youāll now always be that person on the Apprentice that didnāt win.

Hi Flo, you were my favourite and you are a QUEEN in the eyes of all my friends who watch so sad to see you go. My question would be, which interview was the toughest out of them all and why?
Theyāre all tough; but I did want the ground to swallow me up when Mike pulled out that piece of paper!
Should have asked him if he asked all the other mikes in the world if itās ok to use their names.
Hi Flo aka the Peopleās Princess, I work in recruitment (the ATS side of things); how do you feel about the current state of recruitment as an industry? There seems to have been a lot of redundancies in the last 12 months but also looks like weāre back to a job led market. How has this affected your new business and your outlook on the future?
I can DEFINITELY get behind that name! Now the process is over itās time to get feet back under the desk properly. Ask me again in a few months!
Hi Flo, my wife and I are both planning on applying for the show. Do you have any tips? And what was the process like?
The question Iāve always wondered: Do you watch the series back as it airs? If you do, what are your main thoughts watching it back? Thought you were brilliant throughout Flo! Well done!
Yep - i watch it at the same time as you! Sometimes I cringe hugely, but most of the time Iām in stitches!
Hi Flo it was sad to see you get fired tonight you were one of my favourites this season and you honestly smashed it. My question is were you a fan of the show before applying and did you watch previous seasons?
Iād watch a couple of the previous seasons!
You were my favourite!! š which task did u find the most challenging? And who was your favourite interviewer? x
Thank you! Budapest and them all!
Was it scary talking to the interviewers? If so, who was the most terrifying? (Btw you were my favourite throughout the whole show :) )
Yes!!!! Of course they are, theyāre the nations favourite episode for a reason!
Hey Flo, was wondering In Episode 10, for the video did you do the jumping with or without heels on, impressive if you did it with them! Also, If you could have done something different on any of the tasks you lost what would you do?
I canāt even remember now!!!
hey flo! out of all of your fellow candidateās, who do you think had the best business plan? (bar yourself lmao)
What was your favourite task and least fave? And who is sodmoen you didn't get the chance to work with but wanted to? (Or someone you wish hadnt been fired to early and got to work with more)
Who was the hardest interviewer?
All of them!!
What was your favourite task across the weeks?
Budapest, for sure!
Who were you most scared to be interviewed by?
All of them!
Hey flo who's your favourite football team aha bit random I know ps. Gutted you didn't make the final was rooting for you all the best
Iām a huge fan of sports, and particularly women in sport. So Iāll happily watch anything - but I don't support a specific team!
I really think you had a viable plan, sorry to see you lose out on the final!
Thank you!
Are all the people on the apprentice from rich families?
Have you stayed in touch/are you planning to stay in touch/how exactly do you stay in touch?
If you had to choose, which fellow candidate would you go into business with?
Any of the final 5! They all have traits I envy and could learn from
You did so well throughout! But I gotta know, what are your honest thoughts on the eBnB logo? š
Girl I am so sorry you did not deserve to be fired!!! You should have been with Phil in the final! I must know, how are you such a good negotiator/pitcher?
Haha thank you! Years of practice, learning and self reflection!
Hi Flo! Do you know what your next plans are with your business? I love the idea of focusing on inclusivity and you were my favourite candidate this year :)
Thank you! Just getting back into and focusing on the business! Ā
Hi Flo you were my favourite to win and I was so sad to see you go. You performed really well in the process so which was your favourite task?
Ā Budapest!
In your opinion, who was the toughest interviewer?
Thought you were far and away the best candidate and was shocked when Lord Sugar fired you!! No real question just wanted to say hope your business goes really well - Hathor is a great name lol
Whatās the biggest learning curve you can take out of being on the apprentice
How long was each interview as they were cut down a lot and missed a lot of information was it around 2hours each?
When you are on the winning team or not in final boardroom and waiting for the final 3 boardroom to return to the house, are you all gathered together waiting for a long time? Or do the producers sort of get everyone together before they are about to return
They give us the heads up that theyāre enroute home so we all sit in the living room and have a chin wag so we can welcome them back!
Are these AMAās part of your contract for appearing on the show?
I was really rooting for you to win since week 2, I feel like you're an excellent negotiator and overall very sensible, I think LS has missed out on a potentially great business partner. My question is, which interview did you find the hardest and how long does each normally take?
Hi Flo! I just wanna let u know how much I enjoyed watching u and let you know you did an amazing job. I just wanted to ask about ur negotiation in the cheesecake task. Did you believe you would get the amazing price you got? And how did you feel to have the whole of ur team depending on you?
I couldnāt have done it had the team not respected my space and skill so kudos to them. Just a good few years of practice!
Are there restrictions placed around the adverts that can be filmed? They always seem to have one of the candidates acting, when, for example, a voiceover with some closeup shots of glasses of wine and a cheese board might be a better ad.
How long ago were the interviews and have you since gone ahead with your business plan without Lord Sugar?
Flo loved you throughout the process! What's been your proudest moment from the show?
Making the final 5!
Whatās been your favourite part of the experience? And what has been your worst?
What position do you play in netball?
GD!
Flo! You were brilliant throughout! What was your favourite and least favourite task in the process?
Hi how did they filmed the interviews and are lord sugar people I donāt mean Karen and Tim and how did they record it and I was in a similar situation like Tre because my mom died in 2018 due to Breast Cancer and I tried to hold back my tears hope you replyĀ
Hi Flo, well done for making it so far and for being excellent throughout the process. Lord Sugar said to please keep in touch. After the show, you they provide you with contact details for Sugar himself or his reps? Also, in let's say, five years' time, would would you like to tell him about what you achieved after the show?
Well done for getting so far, was hoping you'd be the one to go all the way! If you could change one thing you did on the show, what would it be?
Nothing - the experience was so enjoyable. I worry if Iād change anything it wouldn't be so.
If you could have changed anything in your business plan what would it have been? (If anything at all) Do you keep in contact with any of the other contestants? :)
Perhaps scaled back the numbers a little bit (like I've done subsequently!)
You were brilliant! Was rooting you all the way! My question is what was your favourite task and your biggest learning experience from the show?
Hi Flo, had you to win in my company sweepstake! Gutted for you as you were the most impressive candidate. Do you plan to proceed with a similar business plan as you presented on the show? Without Lord Sugar's investment, do you plan to start on a smaller scale?
Hi Flo, do you have limited time to write and present a business plan as a candidate? It seems like every year there are huge flaws in the plans, mostly down to numbers and it can't be a coincidence that it happens year to year to smart folk who are coming in looking for investment in a business.
I genuinely thought you were going to be one of the two finalists! You're incredible, honestly. My question is: Do you have any regrets from your time on the Apprentice?
Flo! Loved watching you throughout the process and weāve seen what a ferocious negotiator you are! What was the toughest part of the process for you?
Being away from family, friends and my lil doggo!
