Apprentice Winner 2010
Well it now down to the final two between Stella and Chris, there called to meet Sir Alan at The Langham Hotel where they are reunited with some of their old team mates
They are told that they have to create a alcoholic beverage and design a bottle plus do one of their biggest pitches ever, their drink must also retail at £20.
Chris picks Jamie, Liz, Alex, Stuart and Shibby as his team they decide that rum cocktails are really hot at the moment and with pomegranate as the mix will go down well, thinking of names they come up with cube but is quickly dumped
Liz and Shibby have been trying out flavours who think a pinkish colour will go down well while Chris and Jamie are still thinking a clear coloured drink is best, but Chris is not happy with this as he is sure it will be to girly.
Chris realises his advert maybe in trouble because his advert implies getting the girl a drink wins him a date and taking her home and therefore is struggling for other ideas and because the advert is to be filmed the next morning is in a rush to make a decision.
Chris and team are very pleased with their final prototype but the next big job is the advert but its turning out more complicated than he had imagined but finally he is happy with the shots they have.
It’s the day of facing 100 industry experts and Lord Sugar and as Chris practices his speech the rest of his team are bored bu his monotone and Jamie does his best to make his speech a bit more exciting,
Chris makes his debut infront of Sir Alan and co for his brand Prism, a rum and cranberry spirit drink, featuring his ad which Sir Alan shakes his head at disapprovingly.
Chris faces some tough questions but his light hearted spirit and jokes go down well
Stella picks Jo, Christopher, Melissa and Paloma as her team they think a bourbon with a twist will win them the task, they instantly get started on discussing ideas with a marketing group.
Their ideas of blue bourbon don’t go down to well but they are offered alternate ideas of cinnamon and other spices with bourbon.
Stella still needs a name but is off to discuss the design of the bottle with a stroke of luck they come up with Urbon Drink as their brand name, meanwhile Melissa and Christopher are testing out bourbon with flavours of spice and honey.
Stella and co have problems also when they find out their advert may not be suitable because they are implying that their drink is a quick drink to get drunk on and so have to rethink about it coming across as a shot drink.
Stella is pleased when she receives her prototype of the drink they also now have to concentrate on the advert, they are finding it a lot easier to get their advert together and Stella is clearly pleased.
Stella is also preparing for facing the experts and possibly future boss Sir Alan, as Stella practices her speech but is getting confused by her bickering team who are all shouting ideas at her.
Next door to Chris Stella is doing her pitch for Urban the bourbon and honey/spice drink and though she is also faced with tough questions she goes down well and manages to crack a laugh, to which her team are confident they have won.
Chris and Stella now face their final trip in facing Sir Alan in the boardroom alongside their teams; Stella is confronted on why she didn’t decide on the taste of the drink herself as the taste of honey over powered it on a whole.
Chris is also questioned on why he delegated out the job of creating the flavour of the drink to which he does point out he didn’t actually want a pink drink.
Chris is told his advert wasn’t very good but the three thing along with the three sided bottle was very good, Stella hears it tasted a bit like a vinegar but its brand name was very clever.
Stella and Chris both state their cases to the best they can though on a personal note I would like to say that Stella has a constant habit of sneering and smirking and all round rolling her eyes at other people is a bad trait and really gets on my goat.
Sir Alan decides that Chris is FIRED!
Stella is HIRED!!!
