00:00This is not a game.
00:04This is a job interview from hell.
00:13From all corners of the country, 16 people have come to London.
00:18I don't care where you come from,
00:20whether you started in a council flat
00:22or born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
00:25All I'm looking for is somebody who is drop-dead true.
00:30They're here to compete for a job worth £100,000.
00:35With a man famously hard to please.
00:39No-one's going to make a fool out of me.
00:43Sir Alan Sugar has built a global business empire worth £800 million.
00:51Now, once again, he's on the hunt for an apprentice.
00:54I think this has been a bloody disaster.
00:57And I promise you, my friend, you will be out that door so quickly.
01:00You wouldn't know what's itching.
01:01To succeed, they're going to have to live...
01:04This is the life.
01:05...and work together.
01:07We are going to make some money.
01:09We really are.
01:10I am your boss.
01:11No, you're not my boss.
01:12I am your boss.
01:14You're nothing to me.
01:15It's the chance of a lifetime.
01:17You went out and lost me money.
01:19You're fired.
01:20You're fired.
01:21You're a total shambles.
01:23You're fired.
01:23You're going to take the best of British food products
01:38and you're going to go and sell it to the French.
01:41Project manager Lohit went for high-quality goods.
01:44Oh, wow.
01:45Have a sniff of that.
01:47While Paul's team bought sausages,
01:49he planned to cook using an old army trick.
01:52Set that alight, stick that in there,
01:54then put your frying pan on top and cook your sausages.
01:56Perfect.
01:57Across the channel, Lohit's food sold well.
02:00Cut me.
02:02But Paul's sausages stayed raw.
02:05If you don't cook, they'll take older.
02:07While he took Katie to offload stock,
02:10Christina took matters into her own hands.
02:15It's always him and Katie.
02:17And, you know, half of me wants us to get into the boardroom
02:19because I'd mail them.
02:21In the boardroom, the numbers said it all.
02:25Stealth, led by Paul, made a loss of £225.84.
02:31It's Dunkirk all over again.
02:33Your back's to the wall.
02:34Try and rescue yourself.
02:35I'm a dear.
02:36These guys chat about it
02:37and then don't produce the goods at the end of the day.
02:40And Paul's relationship with Katie was out.
02:43Paul's decided not to choose Katie.
02:45Why not?
02:45They're two close.
02:46They're two good friends.
02:48Friends?
02:49Yeah.
02:49They've got a personal relationship.
02:51Are you telling me they're carrying on in there?
02:52Yes, they are.
02:53If she sits on your lap and you're stroking each other
02:55and God knows what,
02:56that constitutes a relationship as far as I'm concerned.
02:59Paul became the seventh casualty of the boardroom.
03:02On the way back to the house,
03:07Christina and Adam made a pact.
03:10I'm not going to go jeopardise my chances for that.
03:13It needed saying in the boardroom.
03:14It did.
03:15At the same time,
03:16I don't think there'd be any advantage to be gained
03:20from telling Katie that that's what's been said.
03:22Nine candidates remain to fight for the chance
03:26to become The Apprentice.
03:286am.
03:42Another early start.
03:43Nope.
03:45This is Francis from Sir Alan's office.
03:47He wants you to meet him at the Lloyds building.
03:49The cars will be there in 20 minutes sharp.
03:5320 minutes.
03:53With Paul gone,
04:04his relationship with Katie is still the talking point.
04:08I think Katie will be able to put it behind her.
04:11She's very good at what she does.
04:13It's not a fantastic thing to happen, is it?
04:17He came home from the last task after Paul was fired
04:30and said that the better man came home
04:32and that to me is the highest insult he could have paid
04:36and utter bullshit.
04:38Sir Alan is meeting the candidates in the city,
04:46part of UK business.
04:52Here, getting the best deals is the key to success.
04:55Good morning.
05:10This particular task is going to be about buying.
05:13I want to see your skills in negotiating.
05:17It's where I give you 10 items that you have to go out and buy,
05:21lower than the prices that the vendors are trying to sell them to you for.
05:26I've given you guide prices.
05:28It's all in the dossier.
05:29Read it very, very carefully.
05:31You've got to be back in that boardroom at 6 o'clock tonight.
05:35The team with the most amount of money left over is going to win
05:39and the team that has the least amount of money will lose
05:42and in that team, one of you will get fired.
05:46It's a tough task.
05:48So watch out for the time.
05:50Got it?
05:50All right, off you go.
05:55With only the yellow pages to help them,
05:58they must buy all 10 items by 6 tonight.
06:02The team that spends the least money will win.
06:06In their offices, they're given dossiers containing a set of rules,
06:10the list of items they must buy and Sir Alan's guide prices.
06:13So number one, leather trousers.
06:18Unicycle.
06:19Yep.
06:21Marble.
06:22Night Jealousies.
06:23Does anyone know what they are?
06:25No.
06:25They just look like coffee to me.
06:27After surviving the firing line three times in a row,
06:31car salesman Adam has volunteered to lead stealth.
06:35If it had been a competition of dressing up and walking down a catwalk in a bikini,
06:39I'd have put myself forward as project manager, to be honest,
06:41because I've still had to prove myself.
06:43Guys, if you can all take notes on the items...
06:45On Eclipse, Cambridge graduate Simon has also offered to lead.
06:51I'm about as competitive as they come.
06:53I'm like a rottweiler that refuses to let go.
06:55I just will not give up.
06:56And I'm relentless and I'm utterly determined to win this.
06:59Do you sell wetsuits?
07:01No, we don't have a shop at all.
07:03No? OK, no problem. Thanks very much.
07:04It's Simon's first time as project manager, and he's an enthusiastic boss.
07:08I'm asking every single person you call for a number.
07:11Who sells them in the area? Where's the best place to get them?
07:14To explore every avenue.
07:15We need to get moving, guys, because we can do all this stuff in the car.
07:18There's no reason why we can't do this one way away.
07:20Let's take Easterland.
07:22Sir Alan has set the task to test key business skills.
07:26Research, negotiation and time management.
07:31Can you tell me, do you sell unicycles?
07:33Have you got any white rabbits at the moment?
07:35No, a bin that you put rubbish in.
07:41Simon has split his team.
07:43His half is going for leather trousers first.
07:46For the leather trousers, we're going to go to Brick Lane Commercial Street
07:49because that's kind of the hub for leather wholesalers.
07:52We should be able to get everything in each one.
07:54Keen to avoid West End prices, Simon sends Judene and Lohit south.
08:00Yeah, look, there's a salon.
08:01But they don't know, that's nails, that's nails.
08:02Keep going, keep going.
08:04Hello?
08:05Keep me in touch.
08:06Give me a call every half an hour at minimum.
08:08Too much.
08:09We'll try our best, Simon.
08:11OK, all right.
08:11OK, great, bye.
08:14Don't be a control freak.
08:1610am.
08:18Simon arrives in the East End, home of the cut-price hullsail.
08:22A few men's leather hullsailers.
08:23OK, we just need to get this done while we're here, all right?
08:25And it's done.
08:27To save time, Simon wants negotiations to be quick.
08:31Hello, gentlemen, how are you?
08:33How are you doing?
08:34How are you doing?
08:35How are you doing?
08:35How are you doing, boss?
08:35Is that how she goes to you?
08:37Is that how she goes to you?
08:37Is that how she goes to you?
08:37Is that how she goes to you?
08:38Yeah, I mean, we can cut it and make it shorter, yeah?
08:40Yeah, especially for us first.
08:41How many do you want it?
08:42Just one.
08:42We need one for today.
08:43Just sample.
08:44Sir Alan has insisted the teams must pay less than the asking price.
08:51Is there anything we can do?
08:52No.
08:53Nothing actually.
08:54Can you just give us 50p off, a pound off, anything?
08:5659 pounds, fine.
08:58I'll do for you.
08:58For me, yeah?
08:5959 pounds?
09:00OK.
09:01Maybe 59 there.
09:04Sir Alan's guide price is 100 pounds.
09:08At 59 pounds, Simon's got a bargain, but he's only negotiated a one-pound discount.
09:15No problem.
09:16Very much appreciate, boss.
09:17Thank you very much.
09:18Bye-bye.
09:25Adam has also split his team.
09:28His first item is three kilograms of nigella seeds, an ingredient in Asian cooking.
09:34But he and Gazelle haven't a clue what they are.
09:39I'm actually thinking it's those pellets that you get on the new kind of astroturf stuff.
09:45Hi, hello.
09:46Do you know the new style, sort of plastic football pitches, like at the JJB soccer duns and all
09:52sorts of places?
09:53Yeah.
09:54They use like a black rubber pellet instead of sand.
09:57Could you tell me what that's called?
09:58It's rubber granules.
10:00Is it?
10:00Yeah.
10:01Are they ever referred to as nigella seeds, by any chance?
10:05I don't think about nigella seeds.
10:07Yeah.
10:08Not that I'm aware of.
10:09No.
10:10You're right.
10:11I thought I was onto something there.
10:12They just look dead like them rubber pellets.
10:15Adam has given Katie and Christina the other half of the list.
10:20Christina and I know that we don't get along with each other.
10:23However, we both recognise that as professionals, when we need to get a job done, when we're working
10:28together in a team, we will get that job done and we'll do the very best we can.
10:32They're in North London to get some leg wax.
10:37We're just looking to purchase one jar of...
10:40Microwavable.
10:42Yeah, microwavable wax, really, Hettel.
10:44But probably...
10:45The shop price is £7.99.
10:48We're trying to get ourselves to the very best price we can.
10:51But, you know, if we could get this down below £5, we'd be doing really well.
10:55OK, we're all right then.
10:56£4.99.
10:58Hettel.
10:58That's a little bit too close to the £5 mark.
11:01We were hoping...
11:02The figure we need to achieve, really, is around £4.
11:06Yeah.
11:07Can we do that, Hettel?
11:08Just...
11:09And then, you know, because it's a one-off thing.
11:11Yeah.
11:11A £4 figure would be really helpful for us, wouldn't it?
11:13It really, really would.
11:15And then we can make it a deal and we will probably disappear forever.
11:18OK.
11:19Um...
11:20OK.
11:21£4.
11:22Hettel.
11:23£4 it is.
11:25Katie and Christina have got 50% off.
11:30We know from previous tasks that Katie and Christina don't like one another at all,
11:34but they've made a political decision that it's a good idea for them to work together on this one
11:39and each to do her best to ensure that neither of them gets fired.
11:43They've left the two weak members of the team to sink or swim together.
11:47Simon, we're waiting.
11:48Let's have a look.
11:49Let's have a look, all right?
11:5111am.
11:52Simon is still in the East End.
11:55He's on the hunt for a cheap tile shop to buy a square metre of marble.
12:00We're walking to a tile shop that we don't know...
12:02We know it sells baths and we don't know where it is.
12:05Let's just have a look for a second.
12:06We're getting the wrong way down the street.
12:08Keen not to waste time in traffic, he's hoping to find it on foot.
12:12If you want to go, then we'll own them to go.
12:13Come on, come on.
12:14Let's have a look.
12:14I'll see it. It's all the way down there.
12:16Be careful.
12:17Unless they're half a second.
12:18I would describe myself as slightly erratic and creative and spiral in my way of thinking
12:24as opposed to linear, which can be an advantage or in some circumstances it can be a disadvantage.
12:29I don't even think we're on the right road.
12:31I think we should have been on the main road.
12:32Excuse me, mate.
12:33Do you know the tile shop around here?
12:36It's down there.
12:37Whereabouts?
12:38No, it's on Bethnal.
12:39Bethnal Green?
12:40No, it's gone straight down.
12:42It's near Nudhoe King.
12:43Near where?
12:44Nudhoe King.
12:44Nudhoe.
12:44Nudhoe.
12:45Nudhoe King.
12:45All right, let's get started on that.
12:47I was going to say my strategy.
12:49My strategy is to try and get as much as we can in this area.
12:51Yeah.
12:51All right?
12:52That's my strategy.
12:53Anything else about strategy?
12:55I do if they don't have it in this area.
12:56That's the thing.
12:57Sam's got a very agile mind and sometimes agility can be confused with being something of a grasshopper and I think he's got to settle down a bit and just concentrate on the job in hand.
13:09With no tile shop in sight, it's back to the car.
13:14A bird in the hand here is worth two in the bush in Walthamstow.
13:18Because if you have to abandon ship because if you have to abandon ship because of traffic, then I want to make sure we've got as much as we can here.
13:22And I think you guys are right.
13:23We shouldn't be running off down wild goose chasers.
13:25I'll take that on board.
13:26So from now on, we won't do that.
13:27We'll just stay in the car and we'll drive places.
13:28All right?
13:29On the other team, Adam has put nigella seeds on hold and moved to more familiar territory.
13:37I need a 1997 1.4 Peugeot 106 battery.
13:491.6, 1.4.
13:5634 pounds.
13:57What could you do one for for us?
14:00Well, that's the price.
14:01I'd give a basic price and that's it.
14:05Right.
14:05Is it negotiable?
14:06No.
14:07Do you think you could do one as a one-off about 20 pounds?
14:09Yeah.
14:10Impossible.
14:11Put a little bit of something on it for us.
14:13No, I'm sorry, I can't.
14:15The style that I use is usually quite joking, quite chatty.
14:20But at the same time, there's an underlying killer instinct there that's going for the deal.
14:25Could you do anything at all for us?
14:27No.
14:30Anything?
14:31No, I'm sorry.
14:32No.
14:36We'll have to go somewhere else, won't we?
14:37Yeah.
14:38Fair enough.
14:38Okay.
14:39Thanks, anyway.
14:39Okay.
14:40Bye-bye.
14:40Let's go get the bun.
14:48Lunchtime.
14:49With just five hours left, there's no time to stop as they work their way through Sir Alan's list.
14:54November, Indigo, Golf, Echo, Lima, Lima, Alpha.
15:02Don't go and tell anybody about this now.
15:05Shhh.
15:05Don't run with the rabbit, look it.
15:10You don't need any unicycles anywhere.
15:11No, I'm not, I'm deadly serious, actually.
15:16I need to buy a unicycle.
15:18I just wanted to make sure that they've got the Kramer Marfield tiles, marble tiles there.
15:22If you took the wheel off, you put on a cheaper wheel.
15:24It wouldn't make a difference because the wheel's unique to that bike.
15:28Do you know what Nigella's seats are?
15:29Sorry?
15:29Do you know what Nigella's seats are?
15:33By early afternoon, both teams have got four out of the ten items.
15:40Simon is still hunting for bargain basement marble tiles.
15:45He's found a stone merchant who quoted £40 over the phone, £10 under Sir Alan's guide price.
15:52Where's the boss?
15:52Boss man.
15:53What it is, is we need to get hold of Kramer Marfield.
15:56Leave one metre.
15:57One metre square in tiles or whatever.
15:59We spoke to Paul and he's given us a guide card.
16:01He said go down and talk to George so that we can do.
16:03We need it as cheap as possible.
16:05Show us what you've got, boss man.
16:07If it means scraps, give us scraps, as long as it's a metre square.
16:09We've got a budget of about £20 for this.
16:13I'd have to ring my boss up and see what he can do.
16:16OK.
16:18The team must remember not to pay the asking price.
16:21I've spoken to my boss and like 20 quid, he can't let them go for 20 quid.
16:26I can give you 305 by 305 tiles or we'll make a metre, but they're second.
16:34Can we go cheaper than 20?
16:35Can we get it for 15?
16:37He said to me 20 quid, so that's...
16:39Have you got them here?
16:40Yeah, we have got them.
16:40Can you give us a receipt for them?
16:41Yeah.
16:42Can we give him another call and just try and get it for under 20?
16:45Maybe 17.50?
16:47I don't think he's going to do it, because he actually said like 20 quid, just give it to
16:52him for 20.
16:52That's right, because our quoted price was...
16:54That's fine, that's fine, that's fine.
16:55All right, 20 quid, that's perfect.
16:58And that's the metre squared, is it?
16:59Simon's team buy the seconds at the asking price of £20.
17:04So that's 20 quid?
17:05Yes, please.
17:05Project manager Adam is back on the trail of nigella seeds, and he's taken another guess
17:16about where to find them.
17:18We're trying to find nigella seeds.
17:20More white, the colour.
17:22What?
17:22Black.
17:23I don't know exactly, you know, it is what it is.
17:29We have...
17:31I don't know the name, because name is Chinese name.
17:35It does look like them, but if it's a Chinese name, it's why I have to take the risk on it.
17:42What do you use those for?
17:43That is for kidney function.
17:47That's fine for urine.
17:47But that's just the medicine, is it?
17:48Yeah, this is horrible, yeah.
17:51It's probably the wrong thing, I don't want to take a risk on it.
17:53But thanks very much.
17:54All right.
17:55You're welcome.
17:58If they don't get all the items, the teams face heavy fines.
18:02Right, nigella seeds are becoming a total nightmare to track down.
18:09Yeah.
18:10What we'll do, we'll get the bin, get the rabbit.
18:13If there's time, and we've tracked down what they're on, where we can get them, we'll get them.
18:17If not, we might have to take a hit on it.
18:19But I'm starting to think this is a bit of a wild goose chase.
18:22Adam and Gazelle move on to their next item, a designer rubbish bin.
18:31Designer kitchen places?
18:35No.
18:36OK, thanks.
18:39Excuse me.
18:40Hi.
18:40Can you tell me if there's any other designer kitchen places near here?
18:43No.
18:44No?
18:44OK.
18:47Finally, they locate a kitchen supplier.
18:50Hello.
18:51All right, then?
18:51I was wondering if you could help us.
18:52We're trying to find a brand new, is it Barbatella bin?
18:55Rabantia bin.
18:56Rabantia bin.
18:57What's that?
18:58It's a posh, it's a posh bin.
19:00Ben, is it stainless steel?
19:03Yes, it is, yep.
19:04You might get a second-hand one up there.
19:07We need to, we'll have to buy a brand new one.
19:09Have you any idea anyone that sells them?
19:11Pound shops, San Biffy Green Road.
19:12Bethnal Green Road, Pound Shops.
19:14Pound.
19:15Pound Shops.
19:16We won't get one in there, no.
19:18Right, all right, never mind.
19:19Thanks a lot.
19:19Sorry.
19:20Thanks.
19:20I don't think she understood what we're asking for at all, did she?
19:25Fucking pound shop.
19:28That's definitely three foot.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Across town, Katie and Christina are on their third deal,
19:34and they're still driving hard bargains.
19:37I couldn't do it for about ten.
19:38I know I'm really, really pushing you, but I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to.
19:45Yeah.
19:45Okay.
19:46Start.
19:50She said, can I have her for another one?
19:53At 60% off, it's the best deal so far.
19:56Can we just turn around, Dan?
19:57But their project manager hasn't bought a thing for two and a half hours.
20:02Or worked out what nigella seeds are.
20:08I need to include two more brains on something.
20:13Right now, at this minute, we're struggling with nigella seeds and the dustbin.
20:18Yeah, and we haven't...
20:19We just need some help, I think, really, now.
20:24And we're still making as many phone calls as we can, okay?
20:27Okay, well, crack on, and I'll speak to you in a bit.
20:29Yeah, thank you.
20:30Bye.
20:30See you. Bye.
20:31He's just relatively inefficient to everything, to be honest, with that phone call.
20:39Time ticks on.
20:42Katie and Christina are almost through their half of the list.
20:45Is there a pet shop around here?
20:47Pet shop.
20:48Just down there?
20:49You have to go in the back somewhere, somewhere around here.
20:52Can you just drive to Shatsby Avenue for a minute, Dan?
20:54If you can find out for me.
20:56Dan.
20:56Yeah.
20:56Just drive to Shatsby Avenue for a minute.
20:59Simon's team is still speeding through negotiations.
21:02Unless it's a £200 suit normally.
21:04£60?
21:05No.
21:06£60 and you've got a deal, deal, deal.
21:09It's too small, isn't it?
21:10You can't get it.
21:11£20 and I can't come lower.
21:13You're twisting my arm now.
21:15Can you move up a little bit?
21:16I'm from the side.
21:16I seriously can't.
21:17Man, I've got no space at all.
21:18Look, we're in a bit of a rush, so I don't mind.
21:20I'll just take it like that.
21:22In less than two hours, both teams must be at the boardroom with everything.
21:29Simon has to make one more deal.
21:32But it's the one item no-one can pin down.
21:36Hi there.
21:36I'm trying to get hold of some my jealousies.
21:38Do you know if they're edible?
21:39Are they some...
21:40They might be...
21:40Yeah, yeah, no, they are.
21:41That's why you put them to the, you know, the CDC in non-breads.
21:45In what?
21:45In what, sorry?
21:47In non-bread.
21:48Non-bread.
21:49All right, brilliant.
21:50Thanks for your help.
21:51Cheers.
21:51Bye.
21:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:53Most Turkish shops we can get in from, you know that.
21:55I can't believe we're so stupid.
21:56It's in fucking non-bread.
21:58Non-breads.
21:59Now we know what we know.
22:00This should be easy.
22:00I'm looking for some Nigella seeds.
22:04Do you sell them at your cash and carry?
22:06Yes, yellow.
22:08I'm sorry?
22:10Yes, yes, cash and carry.
22:11Yes, I supply the restaurant, yes.
22:13And you have...
22:14Do you have Nigella seeds?
22:18Yellow?
22:20No, no.
22:21You don't have any Nigella seeds.
22:22Okay, thank you.
22:24All right.
22:24Bye.
22:25Let me try TRS again.
22:26Most TRS number.
22:28No, is that TRS?
22:29It is.
22:30I'm thinking...
22:30I need to buy some Nigella seeds for naan.
22:35Which one?
22:36Nigella.
22:37It's black seed that you put into naan.
22:39No, I don't think so.
22:40We're doing.
22:41But I will ask someone again.
22:43Because if you can have a look at the black seeds that you sell...
22:47No problem.
22:48I will ask someone.
22:49And I will call you in five minutes.
22:51Not five minutes.
22:52It's a cash and carry to bake.
22:54Give me 15, 20 minutes.
22:55Okay, I give you 15 minutes.
22:57Okay, bye.
22:58Thank you, bye.
22:59I love that you get there.
23:01You get much in your nation.
23:02Don't be silly, yeah.
23:03I am coming in 20 minutes.
23:05I'm going to come soon.
23:06If you can do this for me, it is great.
23:07I'm going to come now.
23:07Please, can you look for me?
23:09You're my friend.
23:10I will not be too long.
23:11You're my friend, you know.
23:13The Couch and Horses, they'll buy a Couch and Horses.
23:14Well, you've got to adapt yourself, isn't it?
23:16Yeah.
23:16On the other team, Ghazal has found the number of a seed importer.
23:24I'm trying to source Nigella seeds.
23:26I wonder if you can help me.
23:27Um, we do have some, but not a large quantity.
23:33It's not really a main product for us.
23:35Three kilograms at all?
23:37We would probably have three kilograms, yeah.
23:40OK, um, right, can you tell me your address and whereabouts you're based?
23:45You have to come up the M11, um, past Standard Airport.
23:52I don't know if we can make it there and back on time.
23:56What are these seeds?
23:57They've got several different names from what they could be called,
24:00which is why, you know, you may find them under different names.
24:02OK, what are the other names?
24:04Uh, Colongi seeds.
24:06Colongi seeds? Oh, my God.
24:08OK, I know where we get Colongi seeds from.
24:10OK, what else are they called?
24:11Uh, black onion seeds.
24:13Black onion seeds.
24:14Right, fantastic.
24:14Listen, thanks very much for that.
24:16I know exactly what they are.
24:17Thank you very much.
24:18Bye-bye.
24:19Right, I know exactly what Colongi seeds.
24:20We get Colongi seeds from any Asian herbs or spice shop.
24:24Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
24:284.40pm.
24:30The race is on for Nigella seeds.
24:33In north-east London, Trey spots a Turkish supermarket.
24:40I've got some, I've got some, I've got some, I've got some.
24:47100 grams.
24:48So they have more of them.
24:49But the shop only has 300 grams.
24:52Have you got...
24:53They need ten times as much.
24:57Nigella seeds, do you have bigger bags?
24:59No, only this one.
25:00How many of these do you have?
25:02No, not only is that.
25:03Not only was that?
25:04Haven't you got any more in the bag?
25:05No.
25:05I've got the number of the manufacturer in the packet.
25:07Do you know where we can buy bigger bags?
25:10The name of the company.
25:11Yes, there.
25:11It's right there.
25:12I know, I'm calling them.
25:15They're around the corner.
25:16Yeah, I know.
25:18Calm down.
25:19Relax, relax.
25:20Hi, I'm after some Nigella seeds.
25:24Yeah, but I need three kilograms.
25:26Yeah, you can buy 30 kilograms.
25:28How much would that be?
25:30We're coming right now to buy them.
25:32Thanks, guys.
25:32Ghazal is still calling Asian food shops.
25:39We're trying to source three kilograms of colongia seeds.
25:42Do I have three kgs?
25:43Yeah.
25:45No.
25:45You don't.
25:46How much do you have?
25:49Probably about half a kilo.
25:50Half a kilo.
25:52Time is running out.
25:54The only place they've found with enough seeds
25:56is the importer near Stansted, 30 miles away.
25:59We're in the gills.
26:00Oh, man.
26:02All right, girls.
26:06Mega, mega, mega urgent one.
26:08It's no jealousies.
26:10It's the Stansted airport.
26:12You just about get there and back.
26:15It's M25, M11, so the time will be tight.
26:18I think it's a no.
26:21Right, OK.
26:22Adam came up with the genius idea that Christina and I should drive to the Outer Hebrides
26:29to go and pick up some seeds that he'd finally located, having sat on his arse all day.
26:34They were actually in Stansted or somewhere similar.
26:37You know, that really was a mastermind of a plan, and we greeted it with as much enthusiasm as we could muster,
26:44which was frankly to tell him to bugger off.
26:45In less than one hour, the teams must be at the boardroom, or they'll be fined 50 pounds.
26:53Are you Gamma?
26:54Gamma's over here.
26:55Gamma's over here, dude.
26:57Hello.
26:58Hi.
26:59Are you Gamma?
26:59Are you from Gamma?
27:00Did we speak to you a moment ago?
27:01About getting some seeds.
27:03Nigella seeds?
27:03Yeah, that's right.
27:04Three kilograms, yeah?
27:05Yeah.
27:06So we have 30 packs?
27:0730 packs.
27:08You guys are awesome.
27:09Thank you very much.
27:10Much appreciated.
27:11Right, let's go talk to the boss about price.
27:14Simon's team still has to negotiate a discount.
27:18So how much are the three boxes?
27:19£5.90 each box.
27:22OK, is there any way we can get that down a bit, because we're buying three boxes?
27:26We've budgeted about maybe £10 to buy this much.
27:30No, we can't do that.
27:31What's your best price that you can even give us?
27:34Actually, you have to buy 10 cases to get phone box free.
27:38OK.
27:39I'm going to empty my pocket here.
27:40Yeah.
27:42There's a pen.
27:43I can give you a pen.
27:44And I can give you £10.50.
27:45And £13.50.
27:46How about that?
27:47This is a special one of this for us, but I can give you a 5% discount.
27:51Yes.
27:51OK, we'll buy it.
27:52OK.
27:53OK, let's go.
27:55Time to hot-foot it to the boardroom.
27:58The boardroom, Caitlin.
27:58Shut the door, shut the door.
28:01We'll go to the boardroom, we're all done and dusted.
28:06On all levels.
28:09Qualitative, quantitative.
28:10We rock.
28:11We rock.
28:14Fortunately, we've now run out of time.
28:16If we'd have found out a different name for them earlier, we could have probably found them.
28:19And me and you could have gone and picked them up.
28:21But the problem was just that flipping long to find out what they are.
28:24Crossed the I's and dotted the T's.
28:29Everything was perfect.
28:30It was.
28:30It was.
28:31It was.
28:315.50 p.m.
28:47A few minutes to ponder their fate.
28:49Simon's team got all ten items, but their discounts were small.
29:00If we lose this task, it would be Simon's fault.
29:03Nobody else's fault.
29:04Because the rest of us did and did work hard.
29:07And it was just stupid decisions he was making when we were in negotiations.
29:10Katie and Christina got Adam's team big discounts.
29:16But as they fail to get Nigella seeds, they'll be fined £80.
29:21I do not regret putting myself forward as project manager.
29:24I've put myself under the microscope and he will make an opinion based on what he's seen.
29:30I can go through to the boardroom now.
29:57Evening.
29:58Evening.
30:00You're going to find this very, very hard to believe.
30:09But one of you has won by 97 pence.
30:14Close.
30:19Unbelievable.
30:20It is.
30:22This task is all about negotiating.
30:25You lot, leather trousers then.
30:27Someone, someone got a pound off of a £60 pair of leather trousers.
30:33Who's the leather trouser buyer?
30:35I got the pound off.
30:36Not very good negotiation, yeah?
30:40Nigella seeds, £17.70.
30:42You got 90 pence off.
30:44Don't look like you is doing much negotiating on your side here, Simon.
30:48Personally, I did some negotiating, but I had a lot of confidence.
30:51But was your strategy, just get it in, get it done, get out?
30:54No, not at all.
30:55My strategy was always to negotiate and my target was to try and halve the asking price.
30:59Some of the negotiations took maybe 30 seconds.
31:02I mean, you were very, very fast.
31:04We bought the tiles.
31:05We were quoted £40 plus VAT, which is £46 for £47.
31:08We got them for 20 cash.
31:10We got them for less than half.
31:11Well, you see, I hear a different story there.
31:13What you bought was actually seconds.
31:15They weren't quite seconds.
31:16They just didn't match.
31:17They were seconds.
31:18They didn't match the colour of his main line.
31:20They were seconds and they were offered to you because I think it was Naomi who said,
31:24we've got 20 quid to spend.
31:26Yeah, she negotiated as well.
31:27So the bloke said, okay, I can't do those for 20 quid, but I'll do you these seconds for 20 quid.
31:32Now, in my book, that is his first price.
31:35Yeah.
31:36So why didn't you get it less than 20 quid?
31:38I could have got it less.
31:39Because it's a different commodity.
31:40I could have got it less.
31:40I take responsibility.
31:41I negotiated.
31:42Right, okay.
31:42Well, let me tell you something.
31:45That cost you 50 quid fine in his calculations.
31:48No, it didn't because...
31:49No, it did because they're my rules.
31:52Yeah.
31:52And I'm telling you, it cost you 50 quid fine.
31:55I know.
31:57On the stealth team, good bit of negotiating I can see going on here.
32:02The unicycle, 95 quid.
32:04Who bought that?
32:05Christine and Katie.
32:07Got that for 60?
32:08Yeah.
32:10But you, of course, couldn't find your Nigella seeds.
32:13We did find them later in the day, but I made the call that it was important to get back on time.
32:19Let me tell you that within 10 minutes' drive of this location, a shop that is open to midnight tonight has got them.
32:27Right, okay.
32:27All right?
32:28Okay.
32:29Good team leader?
32:32What's that supposed to mean?
32:34You're not in France now.
32:35You know, I'm speaking English.
32:37Good team leader or not?
32:38I don't know that we saw a lot of our team leader.
32:40Did you speak to him on the phone or what?
32:43Yeah, we spoke a lot on the phone.
32:44So you must have got a gist on the phone.
32:46You know, was he directing you okay or not?
32:50It's here or there.
32:51Here or there?
32:52Yeah.
32:52Okay.
32:53Well, mistakes on both sides, fines on both sides.
32:58One of you lot's going to be kicking yourself over 97 pence over something that, you know, you could have sorted out easily.
33:09Right, okay then.
33:10Well, let's put you lot out your misery.
33:12And it is misery, I've got to tell you.
33:14Okay, well, after taking account of the fine and the guide price for the Nigella seeds, Stealth came back with £458.71.
33:28Eclipse, eclipse, taking into account the £50 fine, came back with £459.68.
33:38You won by 97 pence.
33:47You're lost by 97 pence.
33:53Bit of a joke, isn't it, really?
33:55A total joke.
33:58Your treat is that you're going to the Jonathan Palmer Racing Experience at the Bedford Autodrome.
34:05You'll be driving Formula One cars.
34:08Brilliant.
34:09Okay?
34:10Fantastic.
34:11Off you go.
34:13Thanks very much.
34:17Simon, you are so lovely.
34:19Simon, you are such a wanker.
34:21I'm going to smack your guard.
34:22I'm seriously going to get you.
34:23I'm going to smack you.
34:24Shh.
34:29Adam, I'm going home.
34:32It's late.
34:33You're going to go home also.
34:35We're coming back to this boardroom tomorrow where we're going to more details of what went
34:39on and then one of you is going to get fired.
34:43Okay?
34:44Off you go.
34:4597 pence.
34:5797 pence.
34:57What a joke.
35:0497 pence.
35:05And all to do with, looking at this paper, all to do with absolute stupidity.
35:11Either they can't bloody read or they can't manage time.
35:15It's unbelievable.
35:16I mean, this lot, they could have won by 50 pounds if they'd just read the bloody rules.
35:21I'm kind of annoyed that we're going to be in the boardroom, and that's kind of a waste
35:29of a day, but I'm pleased because hopefully it will mean the end of Adam.
35:33I'm absolutely gutted.
35:38I really, really wanted to prove myself to him.
35:40I'm absolutely gutted.
35:44The bloody car racing is a surprise as well.
35:47God, I love that.
35:48That's my favourite thing in the world is racing cars.
35:53Bollocks.
35:54I need a drink.
36:17It just doesn't seem right.
36:22At the end of the day, I really want the job.
36:24I really want to work for Sarah Allen.
36:26He's allowed me to stay on three occasions, and I'm hoping this is going to be the fourth.
36:31Because I want the job.
36:32I've given up a lot to be here.
36:35It's just very difficult to know that tomorrow, yet again, I'm in the firing line.
36:40What a day.
36:41What a piss-up.
36:42Here's to us.
36:43Here's to us, and here's to kicking Adam's ass.
36:44Tomorrow.
36:45Tomorrow.
36:46Tomorrow.
36:47The next day, for the winners, another race to the finish.
37:03You think you're big time?
37:04You're going to go down.
37:05Big time.
37:06But even off-duty, their eyes are still on the big prize.
37:10It's going to be a sprint to the finish, I think, from here on in.
37:15There's not much between strong candidates and a left, so hopefully I'll come in first
37:22and hit the chequered flag and be on the top of the podium with Sir Allen handing me
37:27the champagne.
37:28It was a big fishbowl.
37:29Lots of the fish have died.
37:30The piranhas are in the fishbowl.
37:31And I feel that a lot of the piranhas are waiting to bite.
37:35It's going to be a sprint to the finish, I think, from here on in.
37:38There's not much between strong candidates and a left, so hopefully I'll come in first
37:41and hit the chequered flag and be on the top of the podium with Sir Allen handing me
37:44the champagne.
37:45It was a big fishbowl.
37:46Lots of the fish have died.
37:48The piranhas are in the fishbowl and I feel that a lot of the piranhas are waiting to bite.
37:58At the boardroom, the losers are back.
38:13I would like to be the person that secures Adam's exit from this and also secures his
38:25route back to the north and his northern chums where I do feel he rather belongs.
38:32It's going to be a siege mentality and I can absolutely guarantee that they will say that
38:41it was all my fault and that I could have done lots of different things.
38:44You can go through to the boardroom now.
38:45Morning.
38:46Good morning.
38:47Morning.
38:48Good morning.
38:49You've had overnight to think about what went wrong or why you didn't do better.
39:18So, who wants to kick off and start telling me?
39:21I thought we negotiated well.
39:23I thought we negotiated some very good prices.
39:25The reason that we didn't win was the fact that we didn't get the seeds.
39:29Yeah.
39:30Looking down this list, if I was in your position, all of you, I would have taken one look at this
39:37list and gone, nigella seeds bothers me.
39:41I'm out of my comfort zone.
39:42I don't know what they are.
39:44And I did.
39:45And I would want to deal with that within the first hour of this task.
39:49Yeah.
39:50Tell me what you did to try and get hold of these nigella seeds.
39:53We did a research.
39:54We ran quite a lot of places.
39:55We managed to get hold of food importers that told us that they had a number of different
40:00names.
40:01Where was that?
40:02Who did that?
40:03I did that.
40:04Well, tell me about it then.
40:05I called an importer that specialised in seeds, etc.
40:08Spoke to them and they said, we can give you the seeds.
40:10Well, where were they?
40:11They were near Stansted Airport.
40:12But at the same time, I said to her, look, I'm having trouble finding out what these seeds
40:16are.
40:17Can you give me some more?
40:18So you located them, right?
40:19Yeah, they were located.
40:20And you located an importer of them?
40:21Yeah.
40:22And that was at Stansted Airport?
40:23It was far out of that.
40:24Right.
40:25And did you ask the obvious question to the importer?
40:27I asked them, why can we not find what these seeds are?
40:30And at that point, she told me, they've got two names.
40:32They're either known as Kolonji seeds or they're known as black onion seeds.
40:35So then I started calling other places that could possibly...
40:38Stop, stop, stop, stop.
40:39You found an importer.
40:40Yeah, we asked them.
40:41What does an importer do?
40:42They supply.
40:43We asked them if they...
40:44What does an importer do?
40:45They supply other people?
40:46They wouldn't give us a list.
40:47They weren't allowed to give us a list of who they supply them to.
40:49It's the same with the bins as well.
40:50Well, hold on a minute.
40:51I'm the importer of some electronic item.
40:54A member of the public phones out and says, I understand you're an importer of this item.
40:59I want to buy one.
41:00Can you tell me where I can get some?
41:01Yeah.
41:02Oh, sorry.
41:03I'm not going to tell you where I sell them to.
41:04Yeah, it was ludicrous.
41:05Now, don't be ridiculous.
41:06Don't be ridiculous.
41:07You didn't express...
41:08I didn't ask the question.
41:09I didn't ask...
41:10I did ask you to ask that question.
41:11Did you ask the question or not?
41:12I didn't ask you to ask me to ask that question.
41:14You're lying.
41:15You did not ask me to ask the question.
41:16You're saying that you told her to ask the question.
41:18I didn't ask the question.
41:19And she's saying you didn't tell her to ask the question.
41:20Five minutes ago, you were telling me, no, they wouldn't tell us.
41:23It was secret.
41:24So it's a lot of bullshit, isn't it, you're giving me?
41:27You want me to treat you seriously, you've got to realise that you've got to tell me the truth.
41:32Okay.
41:33Isn't it an obvious thing to have asked?
41:35You've found the importer, you've found the jewel in the crown, and you know, you made the fatal error of not asking where I can buy it.
41:44Give me one of your distributors.
41:46Why did you let them go?
41:47As soon as she said colondia, that was my mind going off in different tangents, thinking, okay, if it's colondia seeds, then I know we can get them from Asian food shops, Asian cash and carries.
41:56So what, did you do that then?
41:57We got through to lots of people that said, right, we've got them in a hundred gram bags.
42:02And as soon as I said that, you change the direction of the car about five different times because you're panicking about time.
42:08Just tell me in simple terms, right, why didn't you go to those cash and carries stores?
42:13Because it was Adam's decision to go back because we were getting late.
42:16Back where? Back to the boardroom.
42:17Back to the boardroom.
42:18Because you didn't have enough time.
42:19Because you didn't have enough time.
42:20I didn't want the fine for getting back late, and the fine for not getting anything else.
42:23But did you read the rules properly?
42:24Yeah, there was a fine of £50 plus the value if we didn't get something, a fine of £50 for being late.
42:29And what about if you did get something, but you was late?
42:32Actually, getting home late, you would have had, but with the stuff, you would have only, you would have been £30 better off, and you'd been out there racing cars at the moment.
42:43Do you understand?
42:44Yeah, I do.
42:45Do you think he's very bright?
42:47I don't think Adam is the brightest guy in the house, no.
42:50You being superiorly clever than your team leader, why didn't you think to yourself, right, if he's definitely got the place, and that's where I'm supposed to go, and I'm going to get there and I'm going to damn whether we're going to be late.
43:01Your point's correct.
43:02I mean, it was an oversight. We didn't discuss it.
43:07You didn't read the rules properly.
43:08It cost the whole task, wasn't it?
43:10Because you weren't going to be any worse off, were you?
43:12It's that time for you to decide who you're bringing back in the boardroom with you. Who is it?
43:20Katie and Gazelle.
43:22Right. Why does Christina go free?
43:25I actually felt that Christina had worked hard.
43:28You didn't think the others worked hard, then?
43:30I thought that Katie's head was a little bit down, especially in the early part of the day, and it was a little bit...
43:35Why would her head be down in the early part of the day?
43:38The only possible thing I can come up with is obviously she's missing a friend who left on the last week.
43:43That's the only thing I can think of.
43:44What? Captain Manoray?
43:45Yeah, I just didn't feel that I got 100% from her for the whole day.
43:48This is going back to a week ago when Christina told me about all the canoodling going on in the house between you and Captain Manoray.
43:55And you were down on that, was you?
43:57That's a fairly low blow, to be fair.
43:59Low blow for who?
44:00I think that's a very poor attempt at coming up with a reason.
44:03He thought you were depressed because you didn't feel that I got 100%.
44:06So I stood there, I gripped the room, I found us a place to go and get the leg waxed.
44:10If that's someone with their head down, Christ alive, you know.
44:13When your best friend's Mr. Pino, Mr. Grigio, you want to watch it?
44:17Lost on me.
44:19Fine.
44:20I can't be worried.
44:21I know what Pino Grigio is, but I mean, whose best friend is...
44:24The insinuation that perhaps it's Adam's best friend, is that right?
44:26That was the insinuation, I think.
44:28That's correct. If we're going to go personal, let's crack on.
44:30Well, it actually wasn't him that went personal.
44:33It is, by talking about...
44:34No, no, talking about...
44:36I mean, I only knew about you and your relationship with Paul because Christina brought it up to my attention.
44:42That's all.
44:43I think personal and business are separate, so...
44:44Also, I think you also thought that you'd lost a good friend and he should have gone instead of the good friend, possibly, that was in your mind, yeah?
44:51Christina, you can go back to the house, you three go and wait outside, alright?
44:57Katie's decided to take her gloves off.
45:12Well, I think Adam's very silly, saying that she was down in the morning.
45:16Anyway, look, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll call them back in and I'll decide which one is going to go, I think.
45:31Frances, can you send the three of them in, please?
45:33Yes, sir.
45:34So, I'll see you now.
45:38Why did you bring Gazelle back in here with you?
45:55The thing that I've found with Gazelle is she has abilities, but I think the abilities are more sense of somebody to be a personal assistant.
46:04She's very polite, she's very well-mannered, and she's a lovely girl.
46:10Gazelle, there is an underlying feeling that you're a kind of a, and I put this in the nicest possible way, a kind of a hanger around, a kind of an apprentice to the apprentice, really.
46:21To put things in perspective, you know, if you were in the kitchen, yeah, okay, I would be doing the washing up, really, rather than actually cooking the food, so to speak, using that as an example.
46:33How do you address that?
46:34If that's how you feel, then I will address that, because I'm not the type of person, Sir Alan, that will sit back saying, I'm all this and I'm all that.
46:39I have been a leader, so I can clearly do it. Give me an opportunity to prove it to you, Sir Alan.
46:43Well, I have, in this past seven weeks.
46:46And I have made a distinct improvement.
46:48If that is the feedback I'm getting, give me an opportunity, make me a project manager on the next task.
46:55I'll give that consideration.
46:58Adam, what's Katie doing here?
47:00Katie didn't give me the extra effort that I needed.
47:03I felt that if we'd have had more effort and more commitment...
47:06So you're saying lack of effort?
47:07I could not have put more effort into yesterday.
47:11I frag myself to the bone yesterday to try and make this thing work.
47:15Your reasons for bringing me in here just do not stack up.
47:18Right, okay.
47:19One on a personal level, two on a business level.
47:20Sir Alan says he does not know about my personal stuff.
47:23He knows about it because you talked about it, because Christina talked about it.
47:26Fine, bin that.
47:28But if you want to go personal, I'll go personal.
47:30I very much strongly advise you not to take me down the personal route.
47:34At a business level, you have one speed setting, and that speed setting is slow, slow, slow.
47:39Someone put the wrong speed dial in when they created you, sweetie, which is why when the phone rings, I always drop.
47:45Because I know that phone call will take forever to hear something either I already know or I can get done quicker myself.
47:51So you know what?
47:52You're just barking up the wrong tree.
47:55I wouldn't expect a Christmas card from her this year.
47:58Not at all.
47:59Nigella Seeds, you decided that you didn't want to go to effort to find them, so we had to do that.
48:03Uh, absolutely incorrect.
48:04Okay, okay, Katie, let the man talk.
48:07It will take a long time, though, Sir Alan.
48:08Well, it doesn't matter.
48:09I've got time.
48:10Okay.
48:11In the morning, your head was down.
48:13You're the only person that we're questioning.
48:14Katie.
48:15Sorry, sir.
48:16Your head was down.
48:17It was down.
48:18End of story.
48:19You were the person that we're trying to question.
48:20Let's kill this off, shall we?
48:23I want to question whether that affected her attitude towards the work.
48:28Her attitude towards me and towards the work.
48:30Was you there?
48:31Did you think her head was down?
48:32Did it affect the attitude?
48:33Katie did a fantastic job in the morning.
48:35She had the most amount of input, even more so than you.
48:37So that's a lot of bullshit.
48:38That's bullshit.
48:39It's head down bit.
48:40Her head was not down.
48:41Even if it was down, did it affect her doing the work?
48:44Absolutely not.
48:45My head was down.
48:46Absolutely not.
48:47Adam.
48:48Start again.
48:49Right.
48:50Okay.
48:51I still believe that your head was down.
48:52Your commitment wasn't there.
48:53At the end of the day...
48:54Did we stop the head down bit?
48:55Did we not just agree that my head wasn't down?
48:56Okay.
48:57At the end of the day...
48:58At the end of the day...
48:59Before I let you go again...
49:00No, before I let you go again...
49:01I'm moving on to something else.
49:02No, I'm not going to let you until we agree...
49:03I'm moving on to something else.
49:04No, until we agree something.
49:05If something's been dropped, let's drop it.
49:06I'm moving on to something else.
49:07I'm moving on to something else.
49:08Don't move on once you've...
49:09Alright, it's dropped.
49:10I've ruled.
49:11Head down is dropped.
49:12Move on.
49:13Moving on.
49:14At the end of the day, when you were supposed to make the extra effort to get the Nigella
49:17seeds, you didn't make a single suggestion and I looked at that and thought, if they
49:21don't want to make the extra effort to go and get it, if they don't want to make the
49:23suggestion of let's go and get it anyway, why is that?
49:26Right, let me reply to that.
49:27Did you want us to win the task in the end?
49:29Do you want to know how many commodities...
49:30Or did you want to make yourself look good?
49:31Do you want to know...
49:32You did enough during the day.
49:33Do you want me to know...
49:34I'm speaking.
49:35I am speaking.
49:36Well, it's dull, so I'm going to speak right over the top of you, sweetie.
49:38Did you want to win the task or did you want to do enough to make yourself look
49:41good?
49:42Christina said that you did.
49:43With a lollipop.
49:44Don't bring Christina into this, sweetie.
49:45Don't bring Christina into this.
49:46Listen, let's just chill out now.
49:48Let's stop this now, okay?
49:49Katie, I'm starting to think about where can these people slot in somewhere into my
49:59organisation?
50:00Are you honest?
50:02I mean, are you one of those people that is going to tell me as it is?
50:06Or are you going to dance around and backbite and go behind people?
50:10One thing I can say to you, Sir Alan, which I think I can say above some of my colleagues
50:13here, is that I've never lied to you and I won't lie to you.
50:17I don't bullshit and I am a grafter and those two things together-
50:20Are you a corporate animal?
50:21I mean, are you one of those people that kind of whispers in the ear and loads the bullets
50:25and lets someone-
50:26I'm no corporate animal.
50:27I just work bloody hard.
50:28I've always worked bloody hard.
50:29Are you sure you don't just whisper in the ear and-
50:31I'm no whisperer.
50:32I don't talk about people's personal lives if they don't interfere with business.
50:35Let's get off the personal life again.
50:36Okay.
50:37I am not a corporate animal, but I do know how to be sophisticated in a corporate environment.
50:42I am someone who can deliver at the highest level and I will deliver for you.
50:47Adam, you've been here four times, sitting in this position.
50:54Okay.
50:55I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm not a religious man, but if there is someone
51:00up there, maybe they're sending me a message.
51:04The evidence is piling in so much against you.
51:09But I do know that you desperately want this job.
51:13You want to be the apprentice, right?
51:15But given all this stuff that people are saying, you're dangling by a thread now.
51:21Tell me, why shouldn't I fire you?
51:24Right.
51:25I am the person that can be the next apprentice.
51:28I've proved that I could negotiate on the last task.
51:30It was a negotiation task and I've proved that I'm a very good negotiator.
51:33I've proved that I can sell.
51:34I've proved that I can lead a team and motivate people.
51:37These guys are now in a situation-
51:39Excuse me.
51:40This is a siege mentality.
51:41You are talking to me as if I ain't been here for the last seven weeks.
51:44Yeah.
51:45You're a great negotiator.
51:46On this task.
51:47No.
51:48You're selling maybe, possibly, and leading a team.
51:51No, this is you saying it.
51:53Right?
51:54Right.
51:55You haven't led the team well.
51:56The team's not with you.
51:57You motivate us about as much.
52:00Thank you very much.
52:01Thank you very much.
52:02I'm capable of talking myself.
52:03Yes, sir.
52:04On this task, as far as I was concerned, they were given explicit instructions on what
52:09to do.
52:10Adam, I don't want-
52:11I don't want-
52:12What do you want to know?
52:14I want to know if you can, in a nutshell, if it's possible, to tell me why I shouldn't
52:21fire you.
52:22Because I have the abilities to be the next apprentice.
52:25I can work hard for you.
52:27I can negotiate.
52:28I can lead a team.
52:30I can do whatever I need to do and get a job done.
52:33If you give me a job to do, I'll get the job done.
52:35Well, it's that time now, really.
52:38It's a difficult one.
52:39I've got three separate dilemmas here.
52:42I have a concern about you, Adam, that you've been here so many times.
52:51So many, many times.
52:52Shut up now.
52:54That you've been here so many, many times.
52:57And so many, many people are pointing in your direction.
53:00Right?
53:01A very, very big concern.
53:02Gazelle, I don't know whether you're just too young for me.
53:12I really don't.
53:13Don't look at my age, sir.
53:14I'm talking now.
53:15I don't know whether you're too young for me.
53:18I don't know whether you're lacking that experience.
53:23Katie, I don't know if you're going to be hard work.
53:31You're clearly an intelligent person.
53:33I think for the first few weeks, you may have played a kind of a sitting back game.
53:40Today, for the first time, you showed your true colours.
53:44I've got to make a decision.
53:54Adam, your luck has run out.
53:56You're fired.
54:08I've got nothing further to say to you that I haven't already said.
54:11You go back to the house and I'll see you when it's time to set the next task.
54:32Too many, too many times, really.
54:35Too many times, too much evidence.
54:37He lost, you know, I mean, he's just, he isn't a good leader.
54:42He can't organise, can he?
54:43He can't, he can't lead, he can't organise.
54:45I think he's a good salesman.
54:46He's a good bloke.
54:47He's got his heart in the right place.
54:49It's now coming to a stage where it's showing.
54:53He's completely out of his depth now.
54:55He's got a revenge for last week when the wrong man went.
55:03Revenge for last week when the wrong man went.
55:17Exactly.
55:18The only thing that would make me even happier is if it was a double firing with Christina.
55:22To actually use your impulse scenario in front of Sir Alan, I mean, why did Sir Alan not see what she's doing?
55:29She's just a hard, evil little wench.
55:36Well, we had to keep her out of our way.
55:39Back at the house, Christina tells the winners what happened in the boardroom.
55:45What has annoyed me is the Pinot Grigio comment is personal, and that never affects the way Adam works, if you know what I mean, in terms of what he drinks.
55:53And I think that that was unfair.
55:55I think Katie's a very smooth operator. I think there's no questioning her talent, her skills, her skill set.
56:01But I also think that she's playing quite a dangerous political game in some people.
56:07Katie's here.
56:09Katie's here.
56:10Katie's here.
56:11Katie's here.
56:12Katie's here.
56:13Katie's here.
56:14Hi.
56:15How you feel, man?
56:17Katie's here.
56:18You're right.
56:19You're right.
56:20You're right.
56:21You're right.
56:22You're right.
56:23You're right.
56:24You're right.
56:25You're right.
56:26You're right.
56:27Adam brought up, he didn't think my heart was in it, maybe because of personal issues.
56:31Oh.
56:32Seriously.
56:34What did Sir Alan say?
56:35Like, what was his response to that?
56:36He said he didn't want to hear personal bullshit, he didn't interfere with business, and he didn't appreciate whoever's been feeding Adam's lines to him, because he didn't think that came from Adam himself.
56:45If you're referring to anything I might have said, Katie, to, to, um, to Adam, I didn't.
56:52So Alan, I think, is seeing that if people are being fed lines, he works out pretty fast where they're coming from.
56:58Yeah, yeah.
56:59I didn't think Adam was playing a game. Adam knew he was going. I didn't think he had a game left in him.
57:03With too many fingers pointing at me, um, I've not come here to make friends, I've not made myself the most popular person in the house.
57:16I've come here to win it, and people know that, and people know how much I wanted it, and they saw it as a threat.
57:20So if people are throwing mud around to make me look bad, then I think a lot of that is more down to the threat level that they're sawing me.
57:29One job, now eight candidates. Sir Alan's search for his apprentice continues.
57:42Next week on The Apprentice, the candidates have to create an ad campaign for their own brand of trainer.
57:47Can I speak to you about your trainers? Yours are quite trendy, aren't they, over there? Action!
57:52Well, I think now I understand what bump and grind is. Serious, yeah? We've got advert to finish. We don't have a dance line.
57:58Wicked! Oh, for fuck's sake. This is just going wrong.
58:02What the hell is this? That doesn't make sense. And that was the first thing that my eye was drawn to.
58:06F, that's your opinion. Fine. And in the boardroom, one of them gets the boot.
58:11You wouldn't work for me if that's your mentality. Your advert sucks. You're fired.
58:22So, poor Adam's luck has finally run out. See what he thinks about being fired over on BBC Two now.
58:28And leaving the boardroom behind, Sir Alan himself gets grilled by Jonathan Ross.
58:33Well, that might be the other way around, on Friday at 10.35 here on BBC One.
58:38Later tonight, it's Chelsea against Man U in Match of the Day.
58:42We'll see you next time.
