This week’s task saw the candidates visit Meteor’s head office, where they were requested to create and produce an advert for Meteor’s Broadband To Go device. Humour, engagement and a sense of irishness were the key factors to incorporate, along with demonstrating Meteor’s position as a value leader.

The two teams set off about their task with Lucinda joining team Platinum. It was this team that dived into the task in great team spirit however over on the other side, things were beginning to heat up. Samantha and Steve Rayner just could not agree on anything and it was noted that Steve’s treatment of Samantha was anything but acceptable.

After concepts were created, ad’s recorded and produced, the teams pitched their concepts to Meteor’s marketing team. Although Meteor felt that team Cú Chulainn had the better TV ad, they were not impressed with the animosity that shone through in their presentation. For this reason, team Platinum were chosen as the winners.

In the boardroom Bill was tough on all candidates. Steve in particular got an earful for his inconsiderate behaviour towards Sam. Maria was questioned on her presentation skills and her ability to keep the team together.

In the end Bill made a surprise decision and chose Maria as the candidate to leave.
