The candidates this year were far more impressive than last year.Just look at the last 4 this year versus last 4 last year.Any of this years last 4 would have won last year in my opinion
Kristina was better with her business acumen than Simon. It wasn't surprising that Simon won though. The best person business wise never wins. It was obvious he was gonna win once Naomi was fired. I wasn't surprised that Simon made the final but was shocked that he won as I thought that just for once SAS would take a risk with the person he hires. He hired a "yes" man again.

Not sure why you've brought Naomi into it. She should have gone week 3!

That's debatable. And debatably the same could be applied to Simon. In SAS'a words , Simon has "ideas". Well that's all we saw from him. I didn't see any strong business skills. Well , not as many as Kristina's anyway. I seriously think that Simon would have struggled without Tre.
I think I'll make my final judgement on Simon in a years time when we see if the "£70 m hotel and golf course development" progresses in to reality or not.
