for 100k a year most would clean toilets with a toothbrush and still be over the moon, what's your point?

After some thought, I think smug is the wrong word.
i would say wooden.
Yes, wooden would be an apt description of Stella.

Yes - but they were both worthy finalists. Maybe it is all ion the editing but the final show seemed to be setting up a Chris win. He seemed more impressive on the task in general and certainly came up trumps in the boardroom with perfectly reasoned arguments for his character and a much more mature and level headed response to Stella and her personal attack on his lack of passion. I would have given the job to Chris on the evidence of the last few shows but Stella was a very good candidate too. .
