Lee made a very good point on BBC Breakfast this morning. He said that under the old format without a doubt Helen would be the out and out winner and would be hired to work for LS. But now that the prize has changed it looks less likely and more likely that either Tom or Susan would be the eventual winner.

I was trying to find that on You Tube but came across this (with Lee) instead. He said Tom in this as well.

I didn't like Lee, which is why I'm upset he seems to have the same opinion on this as me.

Well yes, but the show becomes pointless if only three or 4 of the candidates can actually win because they alone already have businesses. iIs worse because the criteria have been applied differently to different people. Tom is still there despite some terrible performances and total lack of ability shown as PM - presumably as he may have some invention to offer . Zoe who would also qualify for the final on her CV, went on the old criteria because she lost as PM - for all we know she had the best idea of all and a CV to support it.. If the show has any meaning, failures in the tasks that raise fundamental issues about ability have to count deciding who goes into the final and who wins it. On that basis, Tom's failure as a (biscuit) inventor in week 9, and as a PM in week 8, ought to disqualify him - and several other people could have claimed his place for showing lesser faults.

I liked Lee and was very happy that despite of the CV incident he was given a chance.

I don't think there is set of criteria for LS to use when he makes his choice. Zoe had to go because of poor performace and lack of any potential. LS keeps losing PM when there is some expectations left. It was not Tom's failure in the biscuit episode. He was not communicated that the biscuits were at the higher end. It was again Zoe's error. Instead of conflicting with Melody she should have been concentrated on the task.
