I remember using instant coffee in a pinch way back when I was in my 20's. What was second grossest (first is the taste), was the foam kind of stuff at the top of the cup. Yuck!

The only Good instant coffee is Maxwell House good to the last drop ((wink wink))

The other instant coffees, including Nescafe are blecchy. (in my opinion)

**** ((now I shall wander offtopic LOL))
Our generation is spoiled! Think of all the whole beans we can buy!! buying ground coffee USED to be a specialty iten and very expensive...and lets face it, a PRE-ground bought coffee is a very small step up from instant.(imho)

Someone above mentioned cooking with coffee...It is wonderful when making Dark Russian Ryebread

The thing about event planners... you HAVE to have a plan. They can't organize something from nothing. That's why Net Worth succeeded whereas Magna failed. It's really not about who has the better event planner, but who has the better PLAN. And it's Net Worth's plan that created the most buzz and why the Nestle/Nescafe folks chose them as the winners. Yeah, it's a bit subjective. But they did have a cohesive theme, and really speaks volumes for marketing plans.

Danny was, really, a disaster. Yeah, so he's a high tech marketing guru. Marketing in the high tech industry (and/or on the Web) is just about 100% different than marketing to "real people." The type of "buzz" created is different too. But mostly, it's all about execution. There's different flash created online -- and that type of flash is harder to replicate off line.

/-2{I have a small jar of instant coffee in my disaster kit (along with a jar of peanut butter, crackers, and cat food -- some basic necessities! <grin>). But honestly, it's only cause I swear I have to have coffee... I hate instant coffee but I figure instant is better than nothing!}

Costa - would you be drinking that instant coffee in cold water if you were in a survival situation? If NO, then get yourself some of those single serving coffee-filled teabags.

PS - Is there bellini mix in that survival kit?

How many of you actually belive DT drinks Nescafe and thinks it's great? Danny did a lousy job of leading, no doubt about that. And now I must part so I can run to the store for a jar of Nescafe, because DT thinks it's wonderful?

Considering that in past challenges they were given lists of contacts (i.e. from whom they can buy or hire), perhaps they were given a list of event planners and this task expected the use of a professional group to do much of the grunt work. Leadership skills were tested in 1) who did you hire, 2) what was your "hook", 3) how did you work together at the event???

Eeyore... gag! No, instant coffee in cold water would be, well, gross! I have a small propane burner that I would use to heat water. Those single-serve coffee bags are great, but they do go stale after a while. An unopened jar of instant coffee will last about as long as an unopened Twinkie! Of which I have none, I'll have you know! <grin>

Kona may have a good point... There may have been a list of people they could utilize to assist in their "event". Which makes absolutely great sense, because I was a bit surprised that both teams went the event planner route!

It is beginning to surprise me how some tasks they are allowed to hire people to do grunt work, and then sometimes they are doing the dirty work themselves, like renovations and painting. I'm not sure what I fully think about it, but it is interesting to me.

Just saw Danny on the Ellen Show!

WOW talk about an EGO!! I liked his application video though...very inventive and musical. However, I would have liked to hear him talk about What made him apply for the Apprentice.

On the Ellen show Danny seemed to be trying to "plug" his designing of clothes and of course, his music.
