I am so sorry to see it end. I relly liked Branson. No sarcasm and mean spiritedness from him. He really seemed to like the contestants. I am so over Trump.

I agree, Kitty. I loved how Sir Richard related to the contestants. I really think he helped them all with the constructive critiques he gave. Shawn showed me alot when he still picked Gabe at the end to go along for the ride. And didn't Shawn and Sir Richard look like they were having a blast together? I do think Sarah will be okay, but Shawn was a better fit, I'm thinking, for a Branson protege.

And how great was it to see Branson show emotion with a few tears in his eyes when Shawn was reunited with his wife. That was so genuine and real, I really like his warmth and charisma versus DT's cold impatience.

The helicopter flying looked like so much fun! Do they offer that to tourists at the islands now?:

I thought this ending was hogwash. Branson picked Shawn, even after his dismal nonability to answer questions or remember what ANYONEs job was?? yeah, I want someone like that working for me? NOT

When asked about donating money to charity Shawn said he WOULD NOT!! He would put the money to good use and hopefully have more to donate later.

Ummmmm the clincher for me was when Branson offered the check for the million OR Shawn could risk it on a coin toss. He kept saying MAKE UP YOUR MIND, I'm Waiting etc....yet Shawn was paralyzed with confusion and couldnt focus.

Unable to make a decision on his own (like when he was parts of the teams) FOURTY-FIVE minutes later Shawn reluctantly says he needs the money to pay his employees and takes the money.

((You mean that all the gloating and bragging about his successful business was a Lie?? He cant even pay his workers??---Once again I must say "I want someone like that working for me? NOT"))

Sir Richard then Congratulates him on being such a great guy and not doing something stupid like going for the coin toss. GAK!!! This guy wanted to do the coin toss......for FOURTYFIVE MINUTES!! He had to be convinced NOT TO DO IT by Gab.

So Sir Richard tells Shawn that he gets to work beside him for THREE months and Shawn gets to choose a person he feels to also be deserving to be working with him. TO others complete shock he DOESNT choose Sara!!!!!! Even Sir Richard changed expressions.

Then Richard gives a job and a start up amount of 750,000 to Sara for running a new charity as a subsiduary of his company.

****

Many of us thought shawn was a shoo in for this position right from the start. Music business Mogul has show which contestants compete for a job running his company. However, only ONE contestant is of a similar background of music. The rest of this show was simply timefiller. Shawn showed himself in a disjointed flippant nonteamplayer negative way throughout the show yet still won. Only in America ROTFL

JUST MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!

Sun, Richard's charitable organization is giving the $750,000 to Sara's charitable organization that she is setting up. Her charity will not be a subsidiary of Richard's company.

Let me get this straight. Shawn is now the head of the virgin empire PERMANENTLY? or did Mr Branson LIE LIKE A RUG this whole time?

this was an american production. That is why all the contestants were american.

I may be incorrect. I read it somewhere though.

And at that big VIRGIN employee concert (where shawn sang and the other girl streaked)....Sir Richard said that he was working on an AMERICAN TV show and these were some of the contestants.

KL, he is sharing the job as head of the virgin empire for 3 months, lol. Then he will be head of a subsidiary, IF the 3 month thing works out.

did you REALLY expect Branson to give up his job to someone he met on a reality show?
