Obviously we can see where this has gone, but we'll still see the result of the third pitches.
That pitch was to Aliyah for abstract and surreal art and was carried out by Roxie from Team Inspired and Iain from Team Aptitude.

Well done Team Inspired 
That's unfortunate for us though, well done Naruto and Steve though you made a good effort.

Aliyah also decided that Team Inspired was her winner, which makes it a clean sweep!
Congratulations to Team Inspired for winning this task - I must say that I was very impressed with all of your pitches, as were the buyers - the feedback each of you who pitched received was excellent. Arran, I'm still not really sure what you did this task and you're lucky that your team mates performed so well to assure you the win - I hope to see an improvement in the next task.
Team Inspired, you may leave the boardroom.

Oh my god! Thank you so much Aliyah! And I really can't believe it but we've won at last! I think we all worked so hard on this task and found 3 really incredible artists and delivered some great pitches! Really great job guys and I'm so happy about that.
Commiserations to Team Aptitude however who I did think chose some great artists as well. Good luck to you all.

Thanks George and well done on the win
As for Team Aptitude, not really a great result for you and a bit of a thrashing from Team Inspired. One of the buyers said it was a close decision but the other two stated that Team Inspired won by a landslide. What do you think went wrong?
I think it was the lack of art knowledge that we had, especially me as I had extremely limited knowledge.
Maybe it was the way that I tried to explain in detail and that I needed a lot of help in order to do that.

I think our lack of knowledge and being placed out of our comfort zones may have been a factor, however, i think it may have been just the wrong artist. Considering it now, the Skeletons were the best of the three that were presented to us however i can see how Inspired's models would eclipse ours, similar to to the other artists we had chosen.

Honestly I think we'd lost the task before we'd even started. Very much there was a negative attitude towards the task right from the start particularly from Steve and clearly the other team put in a lot more thought and effort into their choices. I think the combination of the 2 was the ultimate reason for the lose though we all could have put in more effort had we tried. Of course our lack of knowledge didn't aid us either
A frequent comment I got from the buyers regarding your team was that they felt there was a lack of passion from your team - do you think you could have improved on this in hindsight? or do you think it is merely a result of your lack of knowledge and interest in art as a team?

I think our lack of knowledge and interest in art contributed but I think if we had spent more time in general in making our decisions we could have done better. In hindsight maybe I should have gone with my heart and taken a risk on my original choice of artist as maybe I could have gotten more passionate about the artwork.
