its between tim and arjun, both work well in teams and have good ideas


zoe cant seem to work in a team environment, she's always pulling weird faces and has a bad attitude.

Am I the only one who thinks Arjun looks 14, Tim looks 24 and Zoe looks 22??!

Arjun to win.

For me the right girl went last night - Emma was a nice girl but there didn't seem to be much to her, as much as I dislike Zoe I think LAS was right to keep her in.

tim will win if this is a charity organised by sir alan.

like when that lee dude won it...crazy, sometimes it seems sir alan likes grafters only,not smart people”

and whats wrong with grafters, thats whats wrong with this country at the moment, you get pillarised if you work really hard, but get everything if you do nothing but can say a few good words every now and then

Is that because of the lipstick she uses. She now on 1 stick a day. Agree about Tim though, maybe he thought he was applying for the proper version

If Arjun wins, could he apply next year for the proper version seeing as he will be 18?

Grafters are usually workers who are as smart ut work damn hard, yeh of course i applaud that,but doesnt mean they should auto be picked over people who study and are smart

arjun won and deserved it, it would have been a travesty of justice if tim had won even if he did out perform on the final task

Fantastic!

Happy with the order as well although I don't believe Kirsty deserved a place in the final at all.

He seemed strong to me early on, but that was overshadowed by his not really pushing himself. He had the "credit crunch lunch" idea, for example, and then didn't make enough partly because of the wind. He got more flak for ducked out of the camping pitch (no pun intended) but frankly I didn't blame him because Hannah left them woefully under-prepared. So he had early signs of promise and good reasons for his faults. The last two tasks he was great.

Where-as on the last two tasks, Arjun wasn't, and I'm a bit surprised he won.

I liked Zoe early on, but as the series progressed it seemed to me she wasn't very competent. In the final, she did a lot, but it wasn't very good. There was a lack of joined-up thinking in her campaign.

The wind is still a pretty poor excuse really.

Unless someone wanted to run the risk of grit being blown into the packed lunches it seemed an infinitely sensible decision to make.

If only he'd come up with that reason at the time, his decision wouldn't have haunted him for the rest of the series.

Asking myself 'did the right person win' I'm inclined to say no. Obviously the task was too big for one person to fulfil all the necessary roles, but imo Tim could have done so. He was the most creative (the bottle design was his idea), the backdrop for the launch was his idea, he shared the pitching and was clearly capable of directing the advert.

Arjun is more articulate but no creativity at all - without Tim he couldn't have got started.

I also found his argument that "Tim has the ideas, I bring them to life," ridiculous, though in fairness he was trying to make a case for himself as the eventual winner.

Not forgetting that in the penultimate task, when they were charged with the task of getting Dutch designers into the UK market Arjun's team failed to negotiate on price for bulk orders - that was a very basic error.

I think that's a bit of a stretch. What, because of the outside chance that a bit of grit might blow in to the food (I've seldom found the wind to be carrying many bits of grit) nobody making food outside can operate? It's not like the odd bit of grit would be such a disaster anyway; we all have to eat a peck of dirt before we die!

I think that's well thought of; as a creative thinker none of the other contestants could come anywhere near Tim. His weakness at the start was that he couldn't seem to carry his ideas through, and I think he raised his game in that respect as the trasks progressed.
