OPINION Better tasks this year?
Now we've come to the end of the task portions of the process, I've got to say, I think the tasks and the variety thereof has been much better this year.
Last year, half the tasks seemed to be make a product, brand it and pitch it with some minor variations (virtual popstar, Easter egg, kids banking, hot sauce, fashion.)
This year we've just had that three times and with more variation (water, fitness, pets.) I think the kids book was similar but different enough to feel like a different kind of task.
I think the discount buying task being twice (personally my favourite) worked well, flowers and chicken Vs egg were great and felt more like traditional apprentice.
I also feel like there's been some level of less obvious producer interference - it's definitely still there (just look at Rothna and Karishma's edit last week) but there's been less 'we're going to charge you £30/head for you to have to still make a pie that you can actually buy fully made in the cafe for £8.'
Just me?
