The OP has been bashing Stella for weeks. Sour grapes.

Chris is the worst finalist in the history of the series. Should have been fired before the halfway mark.

I think chris was the right choice. Stella started strong but she'd dipped the past few weeks - I'd gone off her in the end.

No way, Stella was the best candidate. I think a lot of people wanted Chris to win purely because they fancied him, lots of the comments I've seen on Twitter this evening seem to reinforce this.
Not at all I fancy Stella more than Chris and Im a straight female. I wanted Chris to win beuse I felt he was the candidate with the most potential.

Yep, sour grapes indeed. Oh you could just be talking bull... Please. Chris' idea was better, Stella went for the boring route.

Too much focus on the one task, the decision was based on the whole process... and she was absolutely the correct choice.

An ugly triangle that looks like something a child came up with is not a good idea. I won't get started on his dismal performances over the past 10 weeks. I personally think it's quite insulting to Stella that he was in the final with her.

I really liked Stella, she was one of my favs but her rudeness towards Chris in the boardroom put me off her a bit.

For most corporations offering a 100k job Stella is the no-brained choice ... But Sugar said he wanted a different sort of person, a risk taker, he should have gone with Chris who was innovative and daring throughout and had the raw superior intelligence to handle any other situation

Still, Stella is a class act

Lol, the fact that he's about as charismatic as paint drying seems to be getting overlooked
Or the fact that Stella thinks she's god's gift to women and the first person to come off a council estate to achieve something with very little in the way of charisma or likeability as far as I can see. Arrogant, smug and full of it.

Prism actually looked stylish and would have stood out at the back of the bar, exactly what they said. Urbon didn't stand out (vinegar bottle) it would have been lost among the other Whiskeys and by the sounds of it, tasted nasty as well.

Prism would be the only one that would have made serious money.

A shame that they didn't try it out in the market to find out.

You clearly missed the information regarding current market trends.

None of that is the problem.

The problem is the fact that they are blind to her major fault - She pisses off everyone she comes into contact with. WHAT people skills? She was extremely rude to Chris in the recording there, most of the contestants have clashed with her at one point.

Don't worry about it, she won't last long, if she doesn't change her ways.

I wouldn't like to open/pour/hang onto the prism bottle after I'd had a few, that's for sure. Just not practical really.

On the other hand, it would probably look quite attractive on a shelf.

This is what I've said in another thread about the decision:

Wanted Stella to win over Chris, but it had to be said based on tonight's show, Chris was better in every aspects. Shocking how bad Stella was in the boardroom.

The comedian presenter is really trying to undermine what Chris has achieved with the final task. to make Stella a worthy winner.

Loved Stella throughout the show but if getting the job is based on the final task, Chris should have won.

I got the sense Alan Sugar always wanted to hire Stella, she had it very easy in the interview process in comparison to the others and on the tour bus task she come up with the worst idea and got away with it.

I reckon Alan Sugar loved the idea of Stella growing up in a council estate and making something out of herself.

If you missed it, then I am afraid you missed it... but it was mentioned more then once.

Number of Chris appearances in the boardroom? SIX.

Nuff said.

You don't get anywhere in business by being nice though. It's a very ruthless world.

Wouldn't diss triangles as they make great shapes. Chris' bottle was more interesting, and easy to spot than Stella's was. Stella was just another contestant like Chris was, and I don't think he was insulted that Stella was in same place as he was, so why should anyone be.

But if you're too ruthless, you're going to lose clients. Being nice to people is the better way to be, but you have to be honest about it.

Just so wrong. Chris came up with the better concept, the better idea. He's much more creative. Stella idea was boring, which is something LS said he didn't want.
I thought Stella's was the stronger product by far! She captured both genders in her market, whereas Chris's would really only appeal to females, losing 60% of your market

I disagree, Stella was the superior candidate all series long.
