So, we finally got to see the brand as PM - and as usual, he didn't dissapoint us in terms of entertainment . On YF, they thought he was totally awful and deserved to be fired, understandably.

Personally though, I think he gave a more mixed performance. He did make the right calls:
[LIST]
He did not make too many disks, and thus did not overspend.[/LIST][LIST]
He raised the price. That was a risk, but it paid off in his favour. Though he was helped greatly by Joanna's strong salesmanship.[/LIST]
His problem, though, was that he went the wrong way about managing and communicating (again). I don't care too much for his management style, and it seems his team didn't either. Stella in particulary looked p**sed off. He also wasn't organised well enough in the backroom to get a good prduction line going.

Overall, he did have a strong concept and strategy, as well as good ideas, but imo he nearly messed up and largely has Joanna and Stella to thank for his victory - and the fact the other team messed up big time.

Both teams only made one video.

The racing one Sandeesh's team used was a 'stock' one for motorbikes apparently. Well that's what was said when they decided to use it.

Yep, we all make mistakes . But I stick to my original point about Stuart - he wasn't totally bad, but he was saved this week.

It was the owning up quickly that made me reply positively to your post. I wasn't taking the urine. Honest

Stu showed far too many flaws as PM and it was the strength of the team that pulled him through - that and the fact that it was Sandeesh as PM that he was up against.

He's completely disorganised
talks AT people rather than TO them
Doesn't listen
Lacks integrity (upping the price & forgetting that it was already stated on the receipt)
He'll be comepletely torn apart at the interviews (if he gets that far).

His high pricing only resulted in people not coming back to collect them. The other team according to Sandeesh didnt have that problem. I think if he lowered the price he would have sold more and they would have been collected. I am not sure why the wrong child ended up on the DVD and whose fault that really was. I would have thought it was Stella's not his.
