Have you ever watched this programme before this particular series?
This series has differed greatly from the last couple, where I would argue that a lack of cooking skills would have meant elimination pretty early on.
As I said above, if all they want is a concept and some entrepreneurship then fine, but I think that they should have stressed that this was a very different type of series.
I would agree with you that the winkers have been the talking point and the main entertainment of this series.
Win or lose they are now in a win-win situation. If they do win then great, they are in partnership with RB et al.
If not, then they have received amazing amounts of publicity for their cocktail bar.
