Exactly. Therefore Adam can't have been retained because he'd done well in previous tasks. He managed the team poorly, but lost because he took the bad location advice given to him. Perhaps he should have questioned it but Katie was adamant the football match was a great place to sell expensive food and Stephen was insistent his tour bus deal was a task winner.

Adam and Jenna were being put to the test, clearly. But the fact that Katie was mainly fired on the basis of the task puts to bed some of the criticism about the show no longer being about the tasks. Overall I think Stephen was the worst in the team, but Adam must have realised Stephen would make mincemeat of him if he'd brought him back. Therefore he wasn't in the firing line.

In the last two weeks promising candidates have been fired purely on the basis of that weeks performance.

Katie was also fired because it was her third time in the boardroom. She would almost certainly have been fired on the first task if Bilyana had been capable of keeping her mouth shut. On the third task, Katie was team leader and got a lot wrong. She didn't oversee production, and it was a disaster. She didn't give them any guidance as to quantities. She designed a poor label for the product, and printed it with a spelling mistake. About the only thing she got right was realising she needed to increase the price.

On this task she also made numerous mistakes. She got the location wrong. She got the price wrong. She thought dressing up as a pizza was the way to sell premium meatballs. (I wouldn't sell pizza like that, never mind meatballs, never mind premium meatballs. Did that costume say "premium" to you?) She was part of the bus fiasco.

I'm surprised that anyone can be surprised that she was fired.

I can't believe he kept him, he purposefully went against everything the task was about.

Katies logic was right, with so many people around the football ground, did they really lose out than if they'd been at Grassmarket earlier? I don't think they did.

The fact he chose crap and went against the Gournet side of things is why they lost afaic

He did go against the task brief, but then Katie's logic was no better because why would a football crowd be interested in expensive gourmet food. It was only by cutting prices that they began to get better sales.

They lost out in the move to Grassmarket because they weren't selling during the peak lunchtime period. As they only lost by £20, it wouldn't have taken too many extra sales to win the task. They would have been better off either staying at the stadium (and catching people as they left the ground) or spending the whole day at Grassmarket and getting more trade from tourists.
