So how does it work? I know that there is a book of rules for each task, and we viewers don't get to have completely explained.
But with the shoe task, there were loads of 'major' shoe retailers there placing orders. Team A are horse-trading... flexible on price and rather than sell 200 shoes at, say, £35... they got deals for a thousand shoes at £25 - obviously massively more turnover... but how much money would they make (or lose!)? (I know I'm making up figures somewhat, because I don't remember them... but it's the principle that matters)
Team B was sticking much more to the agreed prices... and presumably made a much bigger margin on their shoes.
But when it came to announcing the results, the winning team was the team that got the highest gross sales. Nothing to do with margin. That can't be right!
And would those orders ever have been fulfilled? Would the shoe retailers really put those shoes on sale, when no one has tried one on? (Yes, I know it was Clark's people designing/manufacturing... so there is some credibility there.) But if the retailers knew that these were not 'real' orders, then is it all a sham?
