Karishma Vijay has moved into a commanding position in the betting to win The Apprentice 2026 after a dramatic episode that saw two candidates fired and the market reshaped.
| Candidate | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Karishma Vijay | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| Rothna Akhtar | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Dan Miller | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Kieran McCartney | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Lawrence Rosenberg | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Priyesh Bathia | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Pascha Myhill | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Vijay is now the clear favourite at 8/11, a significant shift from the 2/1 price she was available at earlier in March. Her strong performances in recent tasks have seen sustained backing, leaving her as the standout contender to secure Lord Sugar’s investment.
The latest episode delivered a major twist, with both Conor Galvin and Levi Hague eliminated following a high-pressure TV selling task. Candidates were required to pitch products live on air, testing both their sales ability and confidence under scrutiny.
Team Alpha recovered from early communication issues to deliver a strong performance, successfully selling key items including a high-value ring. In contrast, Team Eclipse struggled to build momentum, with weak presentation and limited engagement proving costly in the boardroom.
Rothna Akhtar has now emerged as the main challenger at 2/1, gaining ground after a series of consistent displays throughout the process.
Dan Miller, priced at 3/1, remains firmly in contention, while Kieran McCartney sits at 4/1 and still has an opportunity to close the gap with a standout performance in the coming weeks.
Further down the market, Lawrence Rosenberg is available at 6/1, with Priyesh Bathia at 7/1 and Pascha Myhill at 8/1. All three remain outsiders, with time running out to make a decisive impression.
