Surly it would have been better to have
A) more weeks to fire candidates OR
B) fire 2 in one go before now , didn't like the way this was done the way it was done

It just killed the final for me. The task should have been won with the Empire State product, because I cannot believe in a million years that the supermarket would have placed such a big order on something so unique. Harry H made a good point when he said his product could be seen as an impulse by when placed next to the DVD's - rubbish result last night for me.

It was Harry M that said that about the impulse purchase

It was pathetic IMO. Lost so much potential, like Harry H. (not the blonde one cause I get confused).

I didn't rate Harry M, no one loses every week through sheer bad luck, but a final three would have included Harry M and Lizzie in my book

The winning team should have been decided by LS, Nick and Karren based on input from the buyers, rather than left to a throw of the dice in terms of numbers of (hypothetical) orders. The stakes (firing of a whole team) were too high IMHO.

Was totally shocked at the abrupt loss of 4 contestants.

And the losing team should not have automatically gone, it should have been a decision made on performance, not just orders. If it had been, I think Harry H would have been in the final.

Couldn't agree more.

They should have had two go last week and on week 4. Then two (the losing team) would go from this week.

I think the split was unfair on the contestants who went home, but realistically, I think the Top 2 candidates in the eyes of the board were put on seperate teams anyway, just so either way they have a winner they want.

People have been complaining saying that the two finalists don't deserve to win, but I have no doubt in my mind that whichever one of them won was in the boards top two all along. I would imagine that Harry H. was the other possible winner. There's no way that the winner would have been the boards fourth or fifth choice, that's for sure.
