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.
