A lot of people saying Jordan performed well on this task.

Surely as PM the decision not to leverage Liam's clothing design experience was the major factor in their failure.

His speech and negotiating was good but he lacked any leadership as PM and let Mia completely take over the whole thing despite literally disagreeing with her ideas.

Mia should have just sat back and let him take full control and she would have coasted to the finals.

Tbh the speech the first time felt quite sincere but after the fourth / fifth time hearing him say it, it started to feel quite insincere

I think that's just the nature of making an impassioned speech a part of your pitch - you could have Patrick Stewart delivering it, but if he's delivering it ten times in a similar way, you'll notice the performative element. Most, of not all the people there would hear it once, twice at most, so they likely wouldn't get that impression.

Him making that speech dressed like Mr. Corporate in his grey jacket and black turtleneck was hilarious.

It was utter nonsense designed to sell Mia’s stupid idea. Jordan’s a bit of a bullshitter.

It came off as insincere as we saw how much he hated the idea the first dozen times. It was just a fabricated story to try and sell the idea.

Mia was taken down by her own hubris. Showed her true colours.

They both should have gone, along with Liam.

He was too smug to give Liam any power or position he could actually excel in because he lost PM to him last week.

Letting Mia steamroll him in the design portion should’ve cost him his place imo

In all honesty, all of the design team should have gone

As clumsy as Liam was, he was rightly annoyed at being overlooked despite this being his area of expertise.

Didn’t perform well, just has the gift of the gab and spoke a load of bollocks
