Matthew, Nicky, and Jake.

This is perhaps the cruelest part of the whole process. You've all shown willing, talent, and stamina, and all 3 of you are only one step away from the final.

Jake.

You've been consistent throughout. You've followed the briefs, hit your deadlines, and you've looked for ways to add value and impress. For the most part you've generally delivered. Your city was easily the best, you designed your own mascot and you even got your rugrats involved.

However, I do have fears about whether you've flown under the radar a bit, and the fact that sonya and her trumpet was your weakest task, and also one of the most recent has me thinking that maybe you peaked too early in this process.

Matthew

You started off at a disadvantage missing nearly the whole first task, and I'll be honest, I didn't expect you to last very long at that stage, but you've grown into it and you were the clear winner of Gemma task, and you've been getting stronger throughout. That MS paint unicorn (or whatever it was) was genius.

However, does that compensate for the fact that you missed a whole task?

Nicky

Another one that's grown into the competition. You didn't quite get it at the start, but over the tasks you've been producing better and better results. Your fox was definitely the most handsome mascot, you gave us an interesting tour of your city, and your enthusiasm has been off the charts.

However, I think you know you overstepped the mark on occasion, and anyone who is going to be my business partner can't be doing that.



So you see my dilemma here. 3 good and worthy candidates.

Hmm.

Now I've been in business a long time. Longer than I care to remember, and one of the key indicators for me on how someone will pan out, is consistency.


And it's on this basis, that the first candidate going through to the final will be...

Spoiler:

Jake

Congratulations Jake. We'll see you in the final.
