I was pointing out that the conclusion seems rather counter-intuitive

Not really... the contexts are a bit different...

Not only did Sugar come up with that weird logic, (why would people take big risks during a recession?) he criticized the team with the smaller priced products - and yet they won. He was saying "where's the more expensive items?" (or words to that effect). Had he done the task he would have been on the losing team! 100 percent prove he doesn't get it right all the time. Still, he's super-rich and I'm not so what do I know!

Yeah - at the time I was thinking 'wouldn't people go for lower cost items at this time'. But like you said, he's this rich guy.. though, I remember that awful beauty product he tried to sell with Tim Campbell.

He got mega-rich from his Amstrad computers which were one of the first home computers back in the prehistoric era we call the 1980s.
But Amstrad never became a global brand. Had it become a global brand I suspect he'd be up there with the likes of Bill Gates and have a multi-billion dollar empire.

At the risk of agreeing with Sir Alan, not choosing any high price items should have been a fatal mistake, and it's only the awful presentation / direction of the other team that saved them. Yasmina is my favourite and I really thought she had blown it. They said it last night, two more chip friers and the other team would have walked away with it; anyone half competant would have done that, luckilly for Yasmina and co, the others proved not to be particularly competant in this instance.
