I had been backing Ellie from the start. Initially because I felt I had to support someone, and the only relatable aspect is that she has a Media degree, and I am studying Media myself.

But she really proved herself as the weeks went on.  What baffled me most was that on the first episode of the show, the judges worried that she was too "serious" - she was the craziest person on that show! Her video project with Peter Andre proved that.  I don't think I would have had the guts to tell Peter Andre that his songs were "sh*t," no matter how true this statement may be. It's Insania.

In comparison to the other rookies, she definitely showed the most potential.  Felix just copied the ideas of others.  He had no voice, he never seemed to do any research, and I found his style of interviewing very awkward, with him just blurting out inappropriate questions.

Stu was great.  He didn't really show it, but I believe that he really did want this opportunity.  He may have been in with more of a chance if he had shown passion for anything else but himself.

What I didn't like about the show is that we didn't get to read the articles the rookies had written. When competing for a job in journalism, writing is a main aspect, and we didn't get a taste of it at all.

I just hope the right person won!
