Yes, pretty huge.

Nick, do you think enough people would want to buy a black and neon garment for your business to succeed?
Ye,s I think many teens would love to buy a funky, neon garment.

Either clubbing or at a party or relaxing at home and impressing mates.

George, please can you tell me why you think you should be hired.
I think that I should win Virtual Apprentice because I have put my heart and soul into every task, and I have worked so hard. I'm sure that Nick or any of the other people will agree that out of the seven people who entered this process, I am the one who has taken the tasks the most seriously. I have maintained my professionalism throughout every task, even when things have been going badly. I concede that Nick may be more of a natural businessman than I am, but I think that I have the strongest work ethic. I have thrown myself into every task, and done everything that was asked of me and more - for example, on the Twitter task, Nick and I worked fantastically well together, but I was the one who posted up the majority of the jokes, and I spent an incredible amount of time making sure that we were following enough people.

I have also come up with lots of great ideas, from Juvenis Investments last week to the team name Mercury at the start, which I still think was a fantastic team name. I know I have come up with some bad ideas as well, such as on the TV task - but every creative person has ideas from time to time that aren't quite up to standard. I have made mistakes, just like everyone, but I have always tried to be completely fair and honest. Whenever I have made mistakes, I have held my hands up to it straight away, I have always told the truth and I have never tried to stitch anyone up in the boardroom.

In all honesty, I did come into this final task expecting to come second, because you indicated last week that unless I was particularly impressive on this one, Nick was more likely to win. I know Nick's idea got more praise from you, but I think I did better than Nick this week. I can't see what there is about his company to tell it apart from another teen clothing company, whereas mine had a distinct intention behind it that was consistent with the way the world is thinking at the moment, it was aimed at a clearer target market and it was completely fair and ethical, and something you'd be proud to have your name attached to. I made a huge mistake with the workers' wages estimates which was highly embarrassing, but other than that I think I did a very good job this week, and on all the other weeks. I think I deserve to win, and if you hire me, I will not let you down - and as I think I have shown you, I am a man of my word.

I have seen how professional you've been and I've told Stuart that.

Nick, could you now please post why you should win Virtual Apprentice.
When i first joined I made alot of mistakes. Especially with the PopPopBox which was awful, But I've learnt from them mistakes and I promise you I deserve to win.

I took on your feedback from last week when you said I have a lack of effort but I changed that this week and worked very hard to produce a product which I believe could be very succesful.

I'm a hard worker and I put 100% into every task.

So please pick me to win virtual apprentice.

I do agree, you have improved quite a lot since week one, but probably haven't been the best throughout the series.

I may have not thought through most things but I do have the best track record.

Well, George, you have been the best candidate throughout the series, in terms of your strengths. But you show great weaknesses and these areas let you down a lot.

Nick, you have improved and it has been good to watch. You are also the best all rounder, but haven't performed as good as George has in some tasks.
