Apollo won despite Stuart Baggs being PM

Stuart `the Brand` Baggs is a total ********, he may have been product manager but the team did well to win despite him. If I`d been in his team I`ve have throttled him!

I`m sitting here wondering if he got through to appear on the programme just how bad were the people who didn`t get through?

He makes me laugh so much because he is so inept & so much rubbish comes out of his mouth. He really believes he`s so great

I think most of the rejected applicants would be better with regards to the job, but dont make good television. SB would not have got through if it wasnt for his ego. I dont think he'll make it much further though, I'm putting my money on an all woman Liz v Stella finale.

My only consolation is that there is no way he could survive the interview round. It would suit the show perfectly, they get his entertainment value, we see the back of him.

I dont know what everyone sees in Liz. All she has done so far is read a pitch from a prepared statement. Joanna seems to be the only one so far with any ideas. Chris has always the 'wrong' ones!

I agree, the team won despite The Brand, and mainly down to Joanna who I think is the only one who really shone in that task.

I was expecting Lord Alan to say something similar to what he said to Melissa when her team won when she was PM - congrats, but I don't think it was down to you. Shame, because I think Stuart's ego could have done with it.

But if Stuart wasn't the PM, the team would have used the skiing idea and they probably would've lost.

Further (while I think he's an erse) Baggs called all crucial parts right, whether by luck or judgement.

Product price = correct
Cost outlay = correct
Background film i.e. product to use = correct

He may have been lucky but he did call it correctly.

I have my own thread on this giving the opposite opinion:

Personally I did think Stuart made the right calls (having Joanna in Sales, not making too many disks and raising the price) but he was really lucky that he had Joanna's strong salesmanship and Stella's organisational skills on his side. He also went the wrong way about communicating (again) and didn't manage the back-room well. Joanna was probably the major contributor to the win.

I think the fact that at the start of the boardroom meeting when Sir Alan did the usual 'So, what was he like as a PM' question to the rest of the team they didn't do the normal polite 'Oh he was fine' response but instead made it quiet clear what they all thought of him

And at the very end when they were back at the house and Stella said 'We were lucky that you lot screwed up so much because we deserved to loose' - the look that went between her and Stuart was pure hatred!
