We used to pray for times like this 🙏🏿🥳

[justasare. @justasare]

MELICA AND EMMA GONE IN THE SAME WEEK!
I might have to pop some champagne 🥂
#TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

Nah it’s so true though, without Melica and Emma, both of their teams would have had the same result 😪#TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

4 of my final 5 predictions are seating in the boardroom. I’m scared 😳 #TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

This deliberation between Lord Sugar, Karen and Tim shows there’s a clear agenda over who they like 😭 #TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

Finally someone bringing up Emma’s lack of contribution 😭 #TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

Both teams lost? Lord Sugar wanted to cut costs on the winners prize this week 😭 #TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

@justasare But tbh it was good thinking on her feet 😭

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

I think both teams handled those questions well #TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

@_n4tss It’s sad to see 😪

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

The second “show of hands” from Anisa was too awkward 😭😭 #TheApprentice

[abs. @AbakaDebrah]

Max handling questions how Keir should have handled them last week 😭 #TheApprentice
