The Apprentice viewers predict huge finale twist involving Gen Z contestant

The Apprentice final is just hours away and fans are convinced there could be a humungous twist in store.

The landmark BBC show sees aspiring entrepreneurs compete in a series of challenges in order to win Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment in exchange for a 50% stake in their business.

And this year, a whopping 20 candidates were welcomed to the boardroom for the special series as the reality TV show is celebrating it's 20th season.

Tonight's final (16 April), which will air at 9pm on on BBC One, will see Gen Z women Pascha Myhill and Karishma Vijay, battle it out to become Sugar's next business partner.

The duo, who are 22 and 28 respectively, eliminated all of their competition across 12 difficult weeks and have just one final task left before it's revealed who will secure the victory.

But, viewers have come up with a wild theory that there could be not one but two winners crowed tonight.

That's right, fans are convinced that the BBC could have a special twist in store to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show, and will give both women the investment.

One X user theorised: "Both will be hired as it is series 20 special!" while a second guessed: "Wouldn’t be surprised if you hire both."

A third questioned: "Certainly the pick of the bunch. Could we see two businesses invested in this year??"

Someone else argued: "Karishma, the only contestant in a long time who truly deserves to win."

To which another social media user replied: "Yes agree, but the opposite will happen like it always does. Pascha will win or both hired."

And another fan penned: "I reckon you’ll invest in both of them as it’s the 20th year."

This has only ever happened once before back in 2017 when Lord Sugar chose both Sarah Lynn and James White as his business partners

At the time, he said he 'genuinely couldn't decide' and so told the duo: "This particular year, I'm going to double my investment. I'm going to start a business with both of you."

So, it has happened before, and maybe the internet really could be onto something.

Others are firmly rooting for their favourite, with a lot of fans arguing that Karishma has been 'the best contestant ever'.

She was the only contestant in this series to win twice as project manager, as well as impressively avoiding being in the bottom three throughout the entire season.

Fans penned on X: "1000% Karishma, she's the best contestant ever on #TheApprentice" and "Karishma owns this series. #TheApprentice".

While another demanded: "If this young lady doesn’t win I think the FBI will need calling in. Think I can safely say that in the 20 years or so of The Apprentice she’s one of the best contestants EVER. #theapprentice #karishma."

The 28-year-old is seeking investment for her cosmetics company Kishkin, while Pascha is looking for Lord Sugar to help fund her a private healthcare recruitment company.

As for who wins, we'll have to wait and see...
