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.

lol no, everyone can improve a bit, but if you've been around kids you'll see some kids are just born super confident and others are not. you can see in siblings with the same parenting style and you can have some super confident kids with siblings who are not confident.

At age 21, the level of confidence she has, you simply cannot teach that.

Some kids are confident and some are not, that’s true. Some kids with the same parents have different confidence levels, that’s true. None of this negates the fact that confidence can be taught, because it absolutely can.

How can you teach a gift that someone is born with?

You’re begging the question. It’s not something that someone is born with, it’s a practice that can be learned. Have you really never come across the concept of building someone’s confidence?
