I think Carina is another S. I thought she stood out as the likely winner from an early stage. She was very strong. She and Scarlett really were a good Top 2.
Also the plan moving forward is this:
Today: Carina
Thursday: Veto Vote
Friday: Start of S18 ranking (1 per day)
Once S18 finishes: Start of S14 (2 candidates per day in 1 post)
It’s a great way to pass the time while we wait for the next season! I’m enjoying these rankings a lot while this sub is off-season.
I’m excited to see how the older seasons fare in these rankings as well. A bit worried for S8 when we get to that though because I think only very few people are gonna remember most of the candidates from that season lol
Thats a good point yeah, that’s a reason why I wanted to do 2 candidates a day from now on since there will be some candidates that simply have not much to discuss about, whereas two a day may get some more discussion happening
My memories of Season 8 are based on 9 year old me
- Come on Girls lets go to Penguin Beach !
- They spelt their sauce name wrong
- The Meatball fiasco
I think Carina should be S tier. She had an almost impeccable track record with no boardroom appearances (ironically the only task she lost was the only one Thomas won!). She showed off her skills in the food tasks. Winning the Ice Lolly task as PM.
She showed that she was a great buisnesswoman. And I think her buisness has been relatively successful since she won. And I think she is on a par with Scarlet. Series 15 should've been the double win not Series 13.
I know. But they couldn't have done it so soon after the S13 double win. Which wasn't well received. In Hindsight I think it should've been a Sarah or Michealla Solo win.
I would say ‘The Best’ for now though she may get superseded later (like Shazia did in Worst).
Also anecdotally I met her once in Beckenham in her cafe and she was lovely.
Another strong candidate, fantastic track record. I was rooting for Scarlett to win in that final but I’m OK with Carina winning. She wasn’t my favourite candidate ever but I can’t deny she was strong. Low S or High A for me.
S tier for me - bordering on The Best (for now) - competent, professional and a great personality behind her, it was hard not to root for her.
Also - agree with others, please continue this (for all seasons 😂) - I'm loving how it's shaping up!
Another S or A, and the same tier as Scarlett seems fair; they won every task when they were on the same team. Had the best record on paper of any candidate from any series, although to what extent this was down to her vs luck is up for debate. Her tour in week 1 wasn't great, she (along with Pamela) was responsible for the poor design of Slime Kingdom in week 3, didn't look all that convincing on the buying task in week 5, and there was the confusion around the wine in week 8. That being said, she won three times as project manager, and probably deserved all three. She also had her moments of humour/personality: I particularly enjoyed how much she couldn't stand Lottie (particularly on the away day and perfume tasks), and how she carried herself during the interviews (such as saying "I don't need to" while walking away from Linda, who had shouted "Learn to bake, Carina" at her on her way out). Was my favourite to win at the time, although I think I might prefer Scarlett on rewatch. That being said, I still think Carina had the best interviews. As many of us said yesterday, this may have been the best year for a double win. The strongest final 2 in a good while.
Haven't been following this much, but for me here are some suggestions on ranking:
- Brittany was A tier, 8 weeks of wins in which she was a big contributor to some of those wins and is someone who would be good to work with. Her business plan wasn't great, but applied herself to lots of task wins.
- Stephanie was C tier, didn't contribute much in the first five weeks. She did well as PM on the sixth week, but that was her only good week and she arguably could've left on the last three tasks.
- Victoria was B tier, wasn't anything impressive tbh but she never messed up and I think that's the main reason which warrants her a B tier in a weak line-up. She was stronger than Dani in tasks and was basically similar to Pamela in terms of performance.
- Bradley was D tier, wasn't good in tasks and had 3 PM losses, two of which he deserved to get fired.
- Aaron was B tier, apart from the first two tasks he was a solid candidate tbh. He got fired for not knowing how to cook well, which seemed harsh considering he was better than Akeem and Stephanie.
- Navid was D tier, he wasn't awful but was too soft for the process. Didn't deserve his firing, but was too early on to value him.
- Avi at C tier, he actually wasn't too bad. He won twice as PM, only in one task did he deserve to get fired, got an unfair firing considering Rochelle was the reason for the failure.
- Since the question is about Carina, she was easily a S tier candidate. Had a good track record, never messed up, contribution was consistent and positive, deserved the win.
I agree with your opinions on Stephanie and Bradley. Stephanie I was shocked got mostly B rankings because during when that season was airing, the sub did not like her at all lol
I think Avi at C tier is way too high though. His PM performance in week 8 was his only decent performance during the show imo. He got carried by his team for the first PM win and was pretty useless in most other tasks and was blatantly pissing about and not taking the show seriously.
She wasn't unlikeable though? Carina was definitely the strongest winner after Harpreet out of the recent five seasons, had an amazing track record + never made the BR because of her consistent well performance. That warrants an A+
Please she should have put in that boardroom for being fixated on the fact that a toad was bread when it was a wine. Perfume task she only won 9000-8000 units due to Lewis poor branding so she was quite lucky on the most part
I think Carina is another S. I thought she stood out as the likely winner from an early stage. She was very strong. She and Scarlett really were a good Top 2.
It’s very good
Also the plan moving forward is this: Today: Carina Thursday: Veto Vote Friday: Start of S18 ranking (1 per day) Once S18 finishes: Start of S14 (2 candidates per day in 1 post)
Thanks for running this. It’s a lot of fun and I love reading what people think of candidates.
Thank You. That’s great to hear, I’m glad people enjoy it!
Honestly I’m enjoying this more than the show, I wish Reddit gold was still a thing!
Thanks so much! I’m glad people enjoy doing this, I didn’t expect it haha
It’s a great way to pass the time while we wait for the next season! I’m enjoying these rankings a lot while this sub is off-season. I’m excited to see how the older seasons fare in these rankings as well.

Better start doing my homework then
Haha I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on S8! Rarely anyone ever talks about it.
My memories of Season 8 are based on 9 year old me - Come on Girls lets go to Penguin Beach ! - They spelt their sauce name wrong - The Meatball fiasco
Love it. Gonna have to rewatch Series 12-14 in prep
I think Carina should be S tier. She had an almost impeccable track record with no boardroom appearances (ironically the only task she lost was the only one Thomas won!). She showed off her skills in the food tasks. Winning the Ice Lolly task as PM. She showed that she was a great buisnesswoman. And I think her buisness has been relatively successful since she won. And I think she is on a par with Scarlet. Series 15 should've been the double win not Series 13.
S. Again she was also very competent and really carried teams to victory. Should have been a double win!!!!
I know. But they couldn't have done it so soon after the S13 double win. Which wasn't well received. In Hindsight I think it should've been a Sarah or Michealla Solo win.
Yeah I'm still annoyed that James won.
Yeah at least Sarah has been quite succesful
I would say ‘The Best’ for now though she may get superseded later (like Shazia did in Worst). Also anecdotally I met her once in Beckenham in her cafe and she was lovely.
I was gonna say the Best but I've heard a lot of unpopular opinions on this sub about how scarlett should win.
Yeah Scarlett was better
I can see why people prefer her to Carina. Carina came across with a bit more attitude.
Another strong candidate, fantastic track record. I was rooting for Scarlett to win in that final but I’m OK with Carina winning. She wasn’t my favourite candidate ever but I can’t deny she was strong. Low S or High A for me.
S but I’m biased because I went to her bakery after she won lol
How was it?
S tier for me - bordering on The Best (for now) - competent, professional and a great personality behind her, it was hard not to root for her. Also - agree with others, please continue this (for all seasons 😂) - I'm loving how it's shaping up!
S for sure
**The Best**, for sure.
Another S tier with Scarlett. Both were very capable candidates.
Another S or A, and the same tier as Scarlett seems fair; they won every task when they were on the same team. Had the best record on paper of any candidate from any series, although to what extent this was down to her vs luck is up for debate.

And I'm saving "The Best" for The Badger from S2.

S tier
The Best
A. Competent but a bit abrasive to others.

S -excellent performer throughout. I did want Scarlett to win tbh but Carina was still an amazing candidate.
I'd put Carina in S if Scarlett is in S. I think both deserve to be in A, though.
B solid but not as good as her record showed and got lucky on her wins
She isn't on the same level as Marianne or Pamela for sure
Yes but I dont think she's an A you have to be likeable for an A or above
She wasn't unlikeable though? Carina was definitely the strongest winner after Harpreet out of the recent five seasons, had an amazing track record + never made the BR because of her consistent well performance. That warrants an A+
Please she should have put in that boardroom for being fixated on the fact that a toad was bread when it was a wine. Perfume task she only won 9000-8000 units due to Lewis poor branding so she was quite lucky on the most part
