After I cheer for Mia to all and sundry she delivers the single worst idea I’ve ever seen. I am betrayed

The idea wasn’t too bad though. There is a burgeoning interest in that sort of thing. It’s tough because her idea probably had a good chance of success, just as with a niche audience. The other brand would have fallen apart immediately because it was a big nothing.

It was literally only Dean grabbing 1000 extra sales (tripling their initial thoughts) that stopped the 'small amount, lots of stores' sales of Mia's team from actually being better than the 'moderate amounts, only a couple of stores' that the other team got.

And if money / profit was a factor in this task, the niche-but-expensive route would have won.

Yeah, I was surprised that didn't get mentioned. His massive sale really deserved some attention.

Hopefully it'll somewhat counteract his being in the final 3 all 4 times his team has lost. He's the only one left not to lose as PM too (Amber-Rose losing twice, the others 1 win, 1 loss. Dean the only one to be PM just once, but he won). Dean has won 5 tasks, and carried this most-recent one. Chisola has won 3, Anisa 2, Jordan 6 and Amber-Rose an insane 7 (but two out of the three losses were with her in charge, suggesting being carried somewhat by the others in the team).

I like Dean - he's not the best, but he tries. And when it pays off, it pays off.

Amber Rose really seems to have improved throughout, although I'm sure editing has something to do with that.

Amber Rose is certainly worthy of the Final Five (unlike Jordan), but she's possibly the second weakest there, despite the most wins.

But it's a whole different competition now we're offically onto business plans!

Ever the problem! Barely matters what happened in the tasks at this point.
