C'mon, someone saw it right?! What did you think? I was happy Lee won it, it's good to see someone winning who's actually nice *and* competent. I liked Claire thought too.

RE: the you're fired! comments to Helene. Do you think women are more bitchy in business (at least to other women)? I kind of think they are, although I suspect it depends on the industry. There often seems to be Admin wars anyway:)

I actually thought the other team had a better product, and I got the feeling that he was slightly biased towards Claire and Lee, but then I would have been to as they were the best out of the four.

I have to admit I liked the product better from the losing team - and it seems so did everyone, so it's a shame they lost. I think without the price constraint of £29.99, Alex would have come out on top.

It just goes to show, lying on your CV really does work.

I'd been championing Alex since week 1, but I'd rather Lee had won it than Claire. Not because I'm a sexist pig, but because I felt he fitted the bill more than her. Plus she irritated me.

On another note, has anyone seen these?

pure genius, there were clips on Adrian Chiles' show last night.

meaning, among the Administrators (usually women in the departments I've worked in) often divide into camps. Office politics I guess, but I call it the Admin War . . .

I'm so glad Lee won-he's passionate about what he does, has a sense of humour, and gets the job done. I thought he was going to blow it with the presentation, but he kept his cool.

I was really stoked for Alex, but recently he seemed to have gone a bit nasty.

Did anyone catch the You're Fired afterprograms? Funny as always, although I think Helene got a bit of a raw deal-the panel weren't exactly kind, I thought.

I think Lee deserved it - he's been good though-out and always did well as a project manager.

I never liked Helene - she didn't seem a very nice person and never seemed to contribute all that much either.

And yeh, i did actually think the design for Alex and Helene's team was better but it kind of detracts from the achievement that it was the bottle designer who suggested it :-P

That's because she was a bitch.

Ahh true, but I felt they were much harsher on her than say, Jenny C, who was awful.
