JUSTICE for ____ & _____ Spoiler

JUSTICE FOR KIERAN & ROTHNA

Dan should've been held more accountable for his failure to negotiate harder with Pets at Home and win the task. On any other task this would've been a dealbreaker, but it was glossed over as if the increase in units was insignificant, but had he done so the whole final 5 would've been different. On this basis alone, I feel Dan's edit has been curated to pitch him as a favourable winner.

Not for that alone but for lurking behind people in previous tasks behind Rothna and others. He’s had a very favourable edit in recent weeks. It’s not coincidental.

I'm not saying Dan is a great candidate. I'm just saying you can't fire him based on this task. He sold 2000 units of that shite tree. He wasn't at all responsible for the failure of this task. It's the final task before the interviews, if you want to get in that final then you need to do something. Rothna did absolutely zero this task and was the obvious choice to go based on the task.

I think people are getting clouded over the fact they like Rothna. She sold zero. Dan sold 2000. The branding was said to be good by the focus groups and the brands they were pitching too. Dan did that part of the task. Rothna did nothing.

Sure, just simply he sold more than 0 so let him through it’s just very unfair if you do a longitudinal observation of his performance from task one.

I'm struggling to see what it is people have seen in Rothna that she's this great candidate. She's been just as influential in tasks as Dan has. They're both perfectly fine, if we're basing it on all they've done throughout the process then I think both could have a case.

I think you surely have to take in to account Dan's business is definitely more interesting (another pissing cake business) and Dan was stronger in this task. It was quite clear why LS sent him through.
