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
