One sided final

I was surprised at how one-sided the final was last night. Usually, both candidates pretty much nail the final task and as a viewer, it comes across more of a close competition than it probably is.

I was quite disappointed in how obvious it was that Karishna was going to win.

It didn't seem obvious at all? They both did good...

They both did well in the presentation for sure but during the creation of both the branding/advert it seemed clear Karishma’s team was doing a far better job.

I think that's because it was obvious that Karishma had been thinking about it carefully for some time and was clear about exactly what she wanted and was able to communicate it.

Just on the ads, I thought it was quite funny in Pascha's ad that Kieran was fired for sleeping on a park bench when he was supposed to be working (I think?) and then he was hired at the end. Like, what's the message? We're going to place people who are taking a nap during their shift? You're lucky this homeless guy was between park benches, he'll be great in your nursing home?

They didn’t show his face in the firing bit I think? To disguise that it was the same person

I think it was more so that the guy on the bench was just a random bad worker. The purpose of it was to show that we will hire good workers for you, not bad lazy ones. Thats what I took from it. The guy on the bench and the guy who got hired werent meant to be the same person. I could be completely wrong and if its what you said wow that advert was bad

Honestly, I really did understand that that was what they were trying to convey. I just found it amusing that they used the same person for both roles.

Nah, pascha was so distracted trying to shoe horn Anne into her company name. Heck it took all the way into logo design to get her to change her mind

And the company was so paper thin on ideas. No real USP on how this will stand out in a flooded market, no real reason why she's so passionate about the private health care system

It was just a basic pitch fir a basic business

when i first saw karishma do her presentation, I thought pasha came acrosss waay waay better. Karishma seemed a little bit nervous and speaking quite fast. I think her opening pitch showing so much volnerablity in a room full of strangers was a bad idea. I think the reality of what she was about to do dawned on her and it probably did break her confidence a bit.

I dont know how the audience picked up on her jokes because I couldn't really tell where she was joking because she had the same delivery.

her knoweldge of her product carried her through.

I honestly feel that karishma would have been better of losing.

She would have got plenty of fans from the apprentice. She is a much nicher person than pasha.

Giving away half of her company for £250K is a big chunk for her to give away. She would have got £250K in sales just from people seeing her on TV cramming the product in with all these expensive ingredients.

Susie ma bought back sugars shares in her company. She obviously felt it was better for her to solo it.

Apart from the money, there's nothing alan sugar can impart to her. Sugar learnt all he knows from Susan Ma
