It may seem like I'm overstating Kate's contribution here, but it just doesn't usually happen like that the way it did
I like Kate and she did well here, but I do think you are over-stating her contribution. She had the stronger team by far. All its members are potential winners. Even unpopular members like Ben have shown before that they can perform. |

I can't actually remember much about that task, other than I thought it was quite cringeworthy with the way it had been marketed - and Simon's rap and dance in the ad was quite embarassing.....
In the real world I dont think anyone would want to buy those 'Street' trainers, but I actually liked the look of that cereal and would maybe buy it. ![]() I thought that this was the best and worse execution of a task I've seen on the apprentice (I only started watching in series 3, so maybe better in 1 or 2). The pants thing was terrible and I was cringing so badly at Mona's presentation. Although I felt sorry for her as she did state she'd be rubbish at it. The parrot stuff was excellent and I particularly liked James, who seems to be coming into his own. |

I think that Kate's team were very very good - I cant remember many of the marketting tasks from before, but this surely is up there.
I think Kate has put herself right up the top of the pack now. She was the best PM of this series so far, though probably not the best ever. I think she is looking very good for the Interview stage at least at the moment. |

I think one of the most impressive things for me was when Ben (who I generally feel is a pillock) accepted the team taking his idea and changing it (in ways he seemed to disagree with) to make it a better idea without throwing a Philip style hissy-fit.
If only he'd shown the same team spirit when they were tasked with making exercise equipment - not a torture device for the next saw movie (someone else's gag I know but I thought it deserved repeating) he might be being argued as one of the better candidates on these boards. |

But I also blame Sugar (or the production company) for not keeping control of the situation. |

Ben is often underrated, in my opinion. |

And some of the negatives are a bit trivial: Braces, funny walk. So you may well be right. He'd have to pull something pretty spectacular out of the hat to redeem himself in most people's eyes, though, I suspect. |

Mona just shouldn't present - she doesn't have the charm to carry it off
you are all forgetting my 'most heinous pitch' moment when that woman (I can't even remember her name I was so horrified) took off her shoes and danced! I still have nightmares about that - think it was first series? |

I think he'd disliked more for the very negative impressions he's caused rather than a lack of positives.
