Rebel Billionaire Final

[Ona]

Did anyone else watch this?

I can remember seeing the first episode seems like a loong time ago. then last week caught it again so I had to watch the final tonight. Also just started to read his book so had some added interest.

Enjoyed seeing the contrast b/w the Branson and Trump persona's.

I didn't mean to stay up for it - but just got caught up in the show!

I personally didn't like Shaun - but I suppose Richard is looking for someone who will benefit from his mentoring - I don't think Sarah would have learned as much - and he saw her business was surviving well enough without the $1m prize.

Did anyone see him on Sunrise (Ch7) this morning? Those beanbag things he sells look comfy - but definitely not space saving!

I thought it was great that Shaun won. Even though everyone had nothing bad to say about Sara, to me she didn't seem as deserving (maybe because her business Spanx (http://www.spanx.com) was already successful).

I think it was a great display of character on Shaun's behalf to pick Gabe to be his right-hand man, even after Gabe had screwed him over twice in the space of one day. I am interested to see what happens to LoveSac (http://www.lovesac.com/) now that Shaun is President of Virgin.

Kind regards,

Ben (Ducky).

63 stores worldwide - just opened one recently in Fox Studios (to coincide with the ending of the show)

I believe he's finished his 3 month co-presidency stint with Richard & is still deciding whether to take up a role at one of the Virgin subsidiaries or go back to his business.

wonder if Shaun would have selected Gabe if he knew at the time that he'd argued for Sarah :?:
