The Apprentice 2009

Actually, although I think that Kate was better in the overall series, I don't agree with you that her chocolate product was better even given your fixed scenario. I thought it was tacky and cheesy in tone, I thought the overall design was unappealing, I thought that her target concept didn't fit with her view of price point and I thought that its apparent concept was wafer thin in any case (what do you even mean by a "chocolate for him"? Why are they different?)

I think that the team had a good stab at it given the time constraints and lack of specialist knowledge, but I don't think their stab was better than Yasmina's.

Only just caught up on this...

Yaz's product was dull and would never had sold. Kate's product was interesting and original. Pity Surallen doesn't want that. Amstrad has rarely sold ground-breaking products, and when they did they bombed.

I thought Kate was much better at the entire series. Which was the problem. Surallen is looking for lackey to do his dull jobs. Yaz was a bit shit all the way through and obviously isn't more than a fancy waitress. (A Finance Director that doesn't know anything about profit, or even her profit for the last year...) Which is what the Apprentice is all about. Surallen looks for not very good people who show promise to do boring but worthy jobs.

Kate will be ok and will find a good job pretty fast...

Oh noes...! Am I fired...?

If anything, I expect Kate to open a Beauty salon so we can find out how to have huge, pearly white knashers like her...

two out of six...kinda Ben standard I'm afraid...

Yasmina did have this going for her -- she was a very good manager of people. She had excellent machiavellean skills, in the best possible way, in that she got people to do what she wanted without them even realising that she was doing it. So she'd be a good middle manager. Again, what Brown Sugar probably wants.
