I want Chris to win. I used to love Stella, but I'm not so sure about her. :D

Claude is a hard, hard bastard. I know this is the whole point of TA, but I felt he was really cruel. :D And Stuart...wow. Probably one of the cruellest and most uncomfortable things I've seen on TV for a long time.

Except to Stella...did anyone else think they went remarkably easy on Stella?

Probably comes down to editing. After all, we only see a few minutes at most of what is probably a good 15 minute interview. Saying that, I think she came across the best out of the five of them.

Chris bores me. Now that Ludalan regrets sacking Liz: a Stella vs Liz finale would have been far more thrilling. Chris never once stood out in this whole series.

Agree with you about Liz vs Stella. Chris' 20% deal last week, while more luck than anything else, did stand out. As did his sweary but polite confrontation with Stuart. :ROFL:

The outcome was clear to me since the second week.
However, in last night's episode there was a moment of sheer creative genius, when Stella came up with the name Urbon. That was the moment she won it.

I didn't like the bottle, though. It should have been tall, thin and square; like a skysraper. No bottleneck; a black cap of the same width and shape. That would have made it perfect.

Mostly, though, it's her biography that's compelling; someone who pulled herself up by her shoelaces. Chris give the impression of being born into privilege. I don't know if it's true; he just seems that way.
Stella is not just a great businesswoman: she's nice, too. She doesn't backstab, (ETA: except for that little did at Chris last night) she doesn't kick people in the balls, she doesn't shout and scream. She has a quiet authority, which is always the best kind.
