She doesn't have a cat in hell's chance of winning. Only about 2 or 3 of them do.
No chance.
I will be shocked if Siralun chose a woman again , though...
Well a lot can happen in a week!:D
She must have learned from her mistakes in the first task and got her act together this time - but I'd have to see more of her doing well to convince me she's got what it takes...
Indeed.
Last week she was being almost universally written off.
A mere seven days later she seems to be in with a chance.
A win as leader is good, but Mona didn't have to do much leadership. They even had individual books.
The thing is, none of the others are actually standing head and shoulders above her.
Except, perhaps, Yasmina who has been seen as pro-active on most tasks and hasn't really done a lot wrong (unless you want to count the catering episode which didn't impress me a great deal).
I see Yasmina as probably getting to the final two, not Mona so much. I have a feeling it will be two women in the final this year though a) because a man has won the past two years and I SAS does to an extent respond to what the audience thinks b) both times it was a man and woman in the final and if they did the same this year it would be all too obvious the female candidate would win
I'm probably wrong though
I was looking forward!
I think in the first episode she wasn't great (I think that was as much down to the thrown in situation of the first episode) though she showed a lot of potential but since then she's been under the radar not doing all that much and the only thing she's done really bad was the presentation (and Lee last year was rubbish at that too).
The thing I've noticed about Mona is she does think ahead, she plans, not just for the short term but the long term. Part of what saved her in the first task I think was her argument about the job they did on the cars, if it were a real business the company would continue to use them. Ok it's a bit pointless in a one day task which require immediate results but it was an interesting and valid point in boardroom terms when the prize is a long term job that I don't think any other contestant has ever thought of using before.
Also this week with the choosing of the objects, it wasn't some overlooked error that they didn't pick items to suit the store meetings set up, it was a concious decision. Maybe it was misjudged, maybe not (we'll never know) but even so it had been something that had been thought out and weighed up, that they'd looked at the task as a whole and made a decision on it instead of just winging it as they went along. She showed some foresight and the ability to form stratagy even if it meant risking one opportunity in favour of another. That is an excellent quality in business.
She also seems to be a good sales person. I know people knocked her re the car cleaning but she still got the job for about double the going price and this time managed to almost double up on the order of sleeping bags. You can knock her technique but it works.
