I think this is Ruth's for the taking for sure. Out of the remaining 4, she's the one with the most impressive commercial experience and even though she lacks creativity, she's proved she can organise, plan, consult and get her hands dirty, and obviously she can sell like a demon. Ulitmately, that will override any perceptions about what Siralan thinks about women in business. She's also proved she's not afraid to fight her corner and highlight her strengths, which, at the risk of generalising about women in business, is kind of rare.
Michelle, from what I've seen in the tasks, has been happy to ride on Ruth's coat-tails to get this far, and I'm not exactly sure what her strengths are. That she's lasted this far has been down to luck more than ability, in my opinion.
Despite the impressive feat of having never been taken into the boardroom, Paul is far too much of a wide-boy to be taken seriously - he's not in the same bullshitting league as Syed but his sales patter is very limited and patronising, and he's also demonstrated a total lack of respect for women in charge.
Ansell has been happy to remain in the background, and although he's good at selling, his one stint as PM showed that he can't manage other people effectively. Like Tuan, he's happy to take a backseat role and I think Siralan has seen this.
Therefore, I reckon it will be a Ruth-Michelle final, with Ruth as the winner.
And not just because she makes me moist in a special secret girl's place. |
