0:00:02 > 0:00:03You haven't used any of your skills,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06any of the things that you claim that you're experts in.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07A disgusting result.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I don't want to hear anything more. You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- APPLAUSE - You're fired.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Good evening, I'm Jack Dee, welcome to The Apprentice: You're Fired!
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I've been assured my job is safe but the night is young.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35This week was bob-a-job week or, as Lord Sugar likes to call it,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37three for the price of one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And the candidates showed they were ready to do anything for money.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Well, almost anything.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45To power wash our stands, all the grease,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47all the cigarette butts, there'll be bird poo.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Question, if we get this bid, do we have to do it?
0:00:53 > 0:00:58No, Sam, the elves will come in overnight and do it for you, silly.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Team Versatile were left crossing their legs once Joseph took over.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04No messing about, no stopping, no toilet breaks,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07literally hitting it, solid, yeah?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Let's hope it's not a big job.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13After last week's outburst in the boardroom, Brett has been asked
0:01:13 > 0:01:17not to swear any more but somehow you can still tell what he's thinking.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yes, as Brett might put it,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28he's inadvertently located himself in an expletive-based scenario.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Joining me in return for a badly negotiated hourly rate
0:01:32 > 0:01:33are our three panellists.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36International entrepreneur, Lara Morgan, comedian Joe Lycett
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and it's DIY week, so make up your own insult, it's Romesh Ranganathan.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44APPLAUSE
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Is everyone well? Have you calmed down from that?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54It sort of made me American. I watched the third and I was like,
0:01:54 > 0:01:55"Oh, no, he didn't!"
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I thought he might fire everybody.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02"And, Claude, you can sod off and all."
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Right, well, in tonight's task,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08one candidate was hoping Lord Sugar would be
0:02:08 > 0:02:10in a forgiving mood. PUTTY wasn't.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I admit, that pun doesn't really work but I didn't have time to finish it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20In your day job you organise the construction of basements.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Well, in this particular task, you've dug yourself a very,
0:02:23 > 0:02:24very big hole.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- You're fired.- Thank you very much for the opportunity.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Karren, Claude, thank you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Elle Stevenson.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42APPLAUSE
0:02:54 > 0:02:57What a week that was. I mean, were you actually shocked?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Because you didn't even get into the final three.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Did you expect to go at that very point? Was that...?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Yeah, I was shit.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- LAUGHTER - Let's all be honest.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08You weren't thinking that at the time, you weren't thinking,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10"Oh, just sack me now, there's no point in carrying on."
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Kind of, in all honesty. Do you know what?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15The moment was, for me, the second he said,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17"Elle, you're going to be project manager."
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I thought, "That's it, time to go."
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I thought, "I know I'm going to balls it right up."
0:03:22 > 0:03:23You actually said in the taxi,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Lord Sugar would have been an idiot not to fire you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Let's have a look at why you said that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Elle, Karren said that you relied totally on him
0:03:32 > 0:03:34and you're supposed to be the expert.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Joseph, the second we get in that theatre,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I am no longer the project manager, you are that project manager.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41How long are we thinking it's going to take time-wise?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Joe, how long do you reckon it'll take per one of those?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45That's it, good job.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48There is another paint brush there, Elle, so if you want to paint, yeah?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- I can't do anything. - Well, just paint in an area.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53There's loads around there that needs touching up.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54I don't really know what to say, to be honest.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, you ain't got a lot of time, so make a decision.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58And what about the flyers?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Elle, you've missed the deadline. - Great(!)
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Mistake on that, mistake on this, six times the loser.- Yeah.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08There's no point carrying on, Elle.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Six times a loser. He's got those lyrics wrong, hasn't he?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It's Three Times A Lady, I always thought.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18What I liked about that clip was you looked upset that you'd spilt
0:04:18 > 0:04:23the paint onto the floor, which is exactly where it was supposed to be.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26You were overwhelmed right from the beginning but this is a task that
0:04:26 > 0:04:27should have suited you cos it's kind of
0:04:27 > 0:04:29what you do for a living, isn't it?
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Not really. I wouldn't actually go on site and physically do stuff.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- You don't actually do anything at work?- No.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I just give it to someone else and leave it with, like, that...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- because, no, I don't do anything. - Lara, I'm going to come to you now.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Elle has been very ready to admit her mistakes. Is that a good strategy
0:04:47 > 0:04:49in business? To own up when you've done something wrong.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I think you learn from your mistakes, I think
0:04:52 > 0:04:55you have to time, to some extent, when you're going to admit them.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I thought you were great at praising
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Joseph in terms of his participation but you nailed yourself.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I think, at that point in the boardroom,
0:05:02 > 0:05:03I knew I was going anyway.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05The second we lost the task I knew I was going and I thought,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08"I'm not going to drag other people under the bus with me."
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I just think it's best to own up and say,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13"I couldn't have done anything without this person."
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'd rather kind of leave with my integrity.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Joe, would you be as generous, do you think?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19To Dick Dastardly? Erm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21LAUGHTER
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Of course, Joseph was given immunity this week, which is very rare.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Do you think he deserved it? How well do you think Joe came through?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34He did very well but he was blessed by the fact the task was
0:05:34 > 0:05:36something he does every day.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39But, actually, I also thought he showed some good leadership skills.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41He really encouraged other people on the task
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- and you delegated to him in the taxi and gave up...- Yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46..it seemed to me.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48OK, in previous weeks, Lord Sugar has praised you for standing up
0:05:48 > 0:05:52for yourself but apart from this week there was one other
0:05:52 > 0:05:55occasion where you were particularly flummoxed
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and I seem to remember it had something to do with the boat.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Oh, God.- Let's just remind you of what happened.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Elle, tell me about the boat.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- TO A BEAT:- Boat. Boat. Bloody boat. No-one's got a dinghy.- Mm.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08This boat. That boat. Bloody boat. No-one's got a dinghy.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11It just seems mental. We need the boat. Bloody boat.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Buy the boat.- Bloody boat. Leave the boat. Bloody boat.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- No-one's got a dinghy.- Mm. - Bustle, boat.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- She bought that boat. - Boat, boat, boat.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- She bought that boat. - Bloody boat.- She bought that boat.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- No-one's got a dinghy.- Mm.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Boat. Boat. Bloody boat. No-one's got a dinghy.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Mm.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Sorry, Adele, that is the Christmas number one.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35APPLAUSE
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So, do you agree with Karren that...she said at the time that you
0:06:41 > 0:06:43should have gone with your gut feeling and not bought the boat?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- Did you feel that was a fair comment? - It was, it was fair.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Having said that, Vana had said at the time, "Buy the boat."
0:06:51 > 0:06:54To a certain extent, you listen to your project manager
0:06:54 > 0:06:56but then I also feel that I probably could have been a bit
0:06:56 > 0:06:59more forceful in saying, "I don't want to buy the boat."
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And I was faffing around quite a bit.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Lara, what do you think? Should Elle have stuck by her instinct
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- and gone against her project manager? - Yes, she should have.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I mean, you knew in your heart of hearts, you had that gut feeling.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And, actually, in business in general,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17just speaking personally, every time I disobey my gut and I don't
0:07:17 > 0:07:20listen, it always turns out worse and I think the really good
0:07:20 > 0:07:23businesspeople sometimes get that discomfort but they do it anyway.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So you should have taken her on.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28On that task, Vana told Elle to buy the boat
0:07:28 > 0:07:31but, this week on Team Connexus,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Vana did really well by managing the expectations of the owner
0:07:35 > 0:07:38of the garden who Scott had somehow convinced
0:07:38 > 0:07:42he was going to recreate the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45How do we think that Vana is doing?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Thought she was really good this week.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50She made a call and actually she rescued them
0:07:50 > 0:07:53because she talked about money and time as opposed to just the promise.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Apart from the market research bit...- A disaster.- ..where she was
0:07:56 > 0:07:59going around saying, "Do you know anyone who's got a shit house?"
0:08:02 > 0:08:05So, Elle, sadly Lord Sugar isn't going to be
0:08:05 > 0:08:06investing in your business.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Let's have a look at the advice he's got for you in the future.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Elle was the youngest candidate, very, very bright young lady,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15very articulate.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Her day job was actually organising builders in the construction
0:08:19 > 0:08:23industry and then, who better to be on this task than her?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Because this was all about repair
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and do-it-yourself type of stuff. I think that she needs
0:08:28 > 0:08:31to get a little bit more confidence in herself
0:08:31 > 0:08:35and she needs to decide not to rely upon others and get in and get
0:08:35 > 0:08:40stuck in herself when she sees things going a little bit wrong.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I'm very confident that this young lady is going to go places.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46When she picks up a few new skills, she's going to be a very,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48very successful person.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- That is a nice compliment. - That's really nice.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Very confident you're going to go places from Lord Sugar saying that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- That's really nice.- That's great.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Which bit of advice are you going to take with you from that?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I think all of it, I think he's spot on.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I think I sometimes have the right idea
0:09:01 > 0:09:04but I just don't have the confidence to really push for it.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Get more stuck in in the future? - Yup, definitely.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Well, it's time to find out
0:09:08 > 0:09:11whether we agree Lord Sugar should have fired Elle this week.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Lara, do you think Lord Sugar did the right thing?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Yeah, I mean, six times on the losing team but also get stuck in.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Thank you.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25- Joe?- Yes, you seem very nice but, yes, I think he was right.- Romesh?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I think you're lovely, I think you've been a great candidate
0:09:28 > 0:09:30but 100% you should've been fired
0:09:30 > 0:09:32and I think if anyone here votes hired,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36they need to be fired from the audience.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37And so to the audience vote.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired",
0:09:40 > 0:09:42if you don't agree, hold up "hired".
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Oh, no, that's embarrassing.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- That's... I think that's pretty much overwhelmingly...- That's outstanding!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Even your family want to fire you, so...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Elle, we're really sorry to be losing you from The Apprentice.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02You're a lovely candidate, you've been a great guest on the show
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and, as you know, we always like to give you a little something to
0:10:06 > 0:10:10go away with and I didn't know what to get you, so excuse me one second.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I spoke to Vana and thought, "What would you like?"
0:10:14 > 0:10:17And she said to me, "Buy the boat." But, as you know, that was £250.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I only had £10 on me, so I went to a toy shop and I...
0:10:21 > 0:10:25ELLE LAUGHS APPLAUSE
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- That's for you.- Thank you!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Thank you very much.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Enjoy that, you've been a great guest on the show.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Let's have a look at your highlights. - Thank you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Do you ever, like, get woken up
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and then look around and think, "This isn't worth it"?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Because I really feel like that right now.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I love Elle so much. She's just... She's hilarious.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Like, she's so honest.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I'm disgustingly ambitious.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I've got shit on my tights.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Elle's lovely, she has a great sense of humour.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55That fish doesn't have a head.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Maybe we're going to Ireland.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Not from Dover!- I just don't know.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01If I was an animal, I'd be a lion
0:11:01 > 0:11:04because a lion never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05I'm not going to be the bitch that goes,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08"Oh, yeah, it was excellent," and then turns round and says,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10"Listen, there were some things that I didn't like."
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Bloody boat. - You are a genuine princess.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Ladies and gentlemen, Elle Stevenson. - Thank you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20APPLAUSE
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Well, it is far from over.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29We've still got two more candidates to meet. Who's up next?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Mergim, I'm going to say this to you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I don't think you have the potential,
0:11:33 > 0:11:38at this moment in time, of being my business partner.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42It is with sincere regret, Mergim, that you're fired.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Thank you.- We'll stay in touch.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mergim Butaja.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56APPLAUSE
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I think...
0:12:08 > 0:12:09I think you've already...
0:12:09 > 0:12:10CHEERING
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Whey!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I think you've already made some fans out there.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- That was quite a speech you made in the boardroom...- Yeah.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20..about how your whole background,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- your family must be incredibly proud of you.- They are.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25My little sister said to me, "Mergim..." She's like,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I think she's eight. Yeah, she's eight, ain't she? Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29LAUGHTER
0:12:29 > 0:12:32And she said to me, "Mergim, you're my role model."
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Oh, it did bring tears to me, really did.- That is nice, poor her.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41You certainly made an impression, although not always in the right way.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Let's just remind ourselves.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- What happened?- Unfortunately, it went pear-shaped, Lord Sugar.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Couple of shelves I could do with fixing.- It's quite simple.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- I tried to tighten it with a screwdriver.- Mergim.- Yes?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Do you know what you're doing? - Screwing a nail.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The hole was getting bigger and bigger. Oh, no.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I did say it was probably her wall as well, Lord Sugar.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03It's quite a big hole.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- We had to sand down and paint the front of a shop.- Right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12As I was painting the top part, I accidentally went over the sign.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15That ain't coming off. Everything's done.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Am I allowed to get away with that, am I?- You're kidding.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20They couldn't put up a shelf, they painted over a sign.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Mergim has grown a reputation as being a little bit of a joker.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27You've got to grab your opportunities in this process.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28There's no time for joking now.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33You said you'd never picked up
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- a screwdriver in your life. - That's right.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Was it wise of you, therefore, to volunteer to put shelves up?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I wanted to prove a point that I could use a screwdriver.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45LAUGHTER
0:13:45 > 0:13:47You didn't even know if you could.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yeah, but sometimes I want to try the impossible,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- do you know what I mean? - LAUGHTER
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I want to do it. - We know you're enthusiastic,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57we saw you trying to sell fish in a vegan restaurant.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01You look like you're having a lot of fun, you gave us a lot of fun.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Do you think sometimes you should've taken yourself a bit more seriously?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07In life, right, I've got a bit of a character behind me,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10a bit of personality and that's made me successful up to this point.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13My history proves how successful I've been, so why should
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I change now? Why do I need to be so serious? If someone said to me,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19"Mergim, I can guarantee you to be a millionaire, be serious."
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'll do it but there isn't, do you know what I mean?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- I'm myself, love me who I am, if you don't, your loss not mine.- OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Well... Another great speech.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Last week we saw Mergim sell some books to a focus group
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and we saw him hand-make the flyers for his team.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39There is a big entrepreneurial spirit in Mergim, do you not think, Lara?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think there's an entrepreneurial spirit but actually, Mergim, I think
0:14:42 > 0:14:45you could take away from the process that we all evolve.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I started my business when I was 23 and I'm not the same person
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I was then and I've made millions of mistakes and the enthusiasm does
0:14:52 > 0:14:56get you to some place but, actually, your... Part of the journey,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I think, of enterprise is taking advice
0:14:59 > 0:15:01and hearing advice and learn as you go.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Yeah.- I promise you, you'll go further faster.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05I think you're very charismatic.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I mean, you can see how popular you are.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You're great to watch and, you know,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I really do think you'll be a success. You've got that energy
0:15:12 > 0:15:15and you've got that ambition, it's amazing.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17You just make some fundamental mistakes!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19LAUGHTER
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Like what, Romesh(?)
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- When you painted over the sign... - It's an easy mistake.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28It IS an easy mistake but then what you can't do is bring
0:15:28 > 0:15:30the lady out and go, "It's a shame about that."
0:15:30 > 0:15:32LAUGHTER
0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's not a shame, Mergim, you did it, mate.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39You know what it is?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I was a bit too much for Lord Sugar,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42do you know what I mean?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I'm the one with the banter, Lord Sugar just learnt off me,
0:15:45 > 0:15:46do you know what I'm saying?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Right, well,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Mergim, Lord Sugar praised you for your opportunistic attitude
0:15:52 > 0:15:56last week but we've unearthed some footage that proves there was someone
0:15:56 > 0:15:57else you were trying to impress.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Let's have a look.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Wow, what a woman, Karren Brady.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I think Mergim wants to go into the final three
0:16:05 > 0:16:08so that he can spend a little bit more time with Karren.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09He loves her.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I just want to see Karren Brady again, I really do. Honestly.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I don't think I've seen her enough. I keep seeing Claude.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I don't want to see you, mate.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Mergim definitely fancies Karren Brady.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23He doesn't stop talking about her.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I tried to say hi but I got too nervous, didn't I?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Every time I look at her, I get a bit of a tingle in my body.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31She walked past earlier, I had to hold on against his arm.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Nearly melted, didn't I? I was like, "Oh, help!"
0:16:34 > 0:16:37She really does make my heart melt like butter in a microwave.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42APPLAUSE
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Now, Mergim, do you know what a restraining order is?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I think that's in place already.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So Lord Sugar said in the boardroom that he was going to keep in touch.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57A really nice thing.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59But he's not going to be investing in your business.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Let's have a look at some of
0:17:01 > 0:17:02the advice he's got for you for your future.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Now, Mergim is a really likeable chap
0:17:06 > 0:17:11and when you listen to his story, you have to admire him personally.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Cos he was a young person when he came to
0:17:13 > 0:17:16England as part of a family of refugees
0:17:16 > 0:17:20and took responsibility to look after his family,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22showed a lot of entrepreneurial spirit in what he did
0:17:22 > 0:17:24in having four or five jobs,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27and that is going to help him in the future.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28There is no question of it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30He's got the right ingredients to succeed.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33He came to me too early, I think.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Given another four, five years and a lot more experience in life,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39he would've been a good contender.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Wow. One to watch says Lord Sugar,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43that's a pretty nice one to take away with you, isn't it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Yeah, exactly, he can see the future in people as well.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48What's next for you? What are your plans now?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51At the moment, I'm in the process of setting up a business that
0:17:51 > 0:17:54specialises in selling corporate businesses,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56selling businesses and land as well.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59But also what I want to do is work with younger adults who
0:17:59 > 0:18:01come from a non-affluent background.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I think this country has given me a phenomenal opportunity
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and it's time for me to give something back.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09OK. Well, it's time to find out
0:18:09 > 0:18:12whether we agree that Mergim should have been fired tonight.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Lara, do you think Mergim should have been fired?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I think it was time to go but, really, there's so
0:18:17 > 0:18:19much potential in you and I...
0:18:19 > 0:18:20What Lord Sugar said,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23you should really graft some more and you'll be there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25That's great, that's a nice comment, isn't it?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28How about you, Joe?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30No, I think he should have got rid of David instead, I thought
0:18:30 > 0:18:33David didn't really pull his weight.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Really seemed to get a bit lost this task and I think you had more
0:18:37 > 0:18:40to give, so I'm going to say Lord Sugar was wrong.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Wow. 1-1. Romesh. AUDIENCE GASPS
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Mergim, I like you. You're a very humble guy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50LAUGHTER
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I think, because you were responsible for actually
0:18:52 > 0:18:54losing money, you know,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58you were paid less money as a direct result of your actions,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- I think you had to go. Sorry, mate. - That's fine.- Let's ask the audience.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired",
0:19:05 > 0:19:07if you disagree, hold up "hired".
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Let's see how that goes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12I reckon that is...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15That's 50-50, I'm going to say, that is definitely 50-50.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Are you happy with that?- Yeah, I'm happy with that.- You can't complain.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Everyone has the right to their own opinion.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24LAUGHTER
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- We can vote again.- Shall we?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30You know, you've been a fantastic candidate on The Apprentice.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Everyone has loved watching you week by week,
0:19:32 > 0:19:33you've been a good guest on this show.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- As you know, nobody leaves empty-handed.- I know what's coming.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Do you know what's coming? What's coming, then?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I've got a funny feeling it's going to be a screwdriver.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42LAUGHTER
0:19:42 > 0:19:44What's the odds? Come on, let's have a look.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47It's a golden screwdriver. Not just any old screwdriver.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50APPLAUSE
0:19:50 > 0:19:51There you go.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's not only that. We've...
0:19:57 > 0:20:00We've had it engraved with your immortal words.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Can you read it for us? Can you see what is says?- Oh, God.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Thank you.- That's for you to take away and, Mergim,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13you've been a pleasure to watch. Here are your highlights.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I don't want to be a millionaire, I want to be a billionaire.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I want to be richer than Lord Sugar.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Do you want to say hello to my giraffe?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I will love you forever and you got the privilege of meeting me today.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Increase the price.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Mergim is the life and soul
0:20:28 > 0:20:31of not only our bedroom but the house.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33HE SINGS
0:20:33 > 0:20:35You're having a good day, aren't you?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38He doesn't take things too seriously.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Mate, what's the best achievement? - Winning the Olympics.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I was happier selling balloons, mate.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Mate, that was a cheeky little deal. - That's how we roll.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Ladies and gentlemen, Mergim Butaja.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56APPLAUSE
0:20:59 > 0:21:03But that's still not all, there's a third candidate yet to meet.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09April, I do believe that you have been standing back,
0:21:09 > 0:21:15I do believe I can't see you as my business partner.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17So, April, you're fired.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Thank you, Lord Sugar, thank you, Karren and Claude.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome April Jackson.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Sit down.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42April, great to have you on the show. Once you'd been fired,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44were you thinking he was going to go for David as well?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46He was going to sack everyone?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49No, I think I knew I was the last person out of there.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Let's have a look at how you ended up in the boardroom.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55How much are you charging for that?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57For our DIY work we do £10 an hour.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59For three of you, it is very, very cheap.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04April, where's your business acumen here? Three of you, £10.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Clearly, in hindsight, it was an error
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and then I tried to learn from that and do better the following day.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- Could you tell me the size of the window?- It's quite high.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Who spoke to the lady?- April.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18You spoke to her about the size, didn't you?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21She said she's 5"6' and it's above her.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23It's definitely above her.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25In week one, you told her that if it were week four,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27five or six she would be gone.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And we are at week six.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, well, at least Claude put in a good word for you.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35It has to be said,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38your pricing strategy, little bit erratic over the weeks, wasn't it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- We had £10 for three people to do an hour's work.- Right.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44But it was £9 for a salad.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Have you reviewed your pricing strategy?- Well, I think...
0:22:50 > 0:22:51I blame other companies
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and their advertising of cleaning services
0:22:53 > 0:22:55that I clearly didn't understand
0:22:55 > 0:22:59how much someone would pay for us to put a hole into their wall.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Romesh, what did you think of April's pricing?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06At first, I thought it was weird that you've basically charged
0:23:06 > 0:23:09the price that means your wages are illegal.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11And the person that accepted that job is probably undergoing
0:23:11 > 0:23:14an investigation right now.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17But then, when you think about it, I imagine that when they said,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19"How much is it?" you looked at Mergim
0:23:19 > 0:23:22holding the paintbrush the wrong way round and thought,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25"Ten quid. That seems like a fair price."
0:23:25 > 0:23:27To me, it looked like you were mucking in
0:23:27 > 0:23:30but do you agree with Lord Sugar's point that, after making a big
0:23:30 > 0:23:33presence in the first task, you then stood back a little bit
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and tried to keep out of the firing line. Is that fair?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38No, I don't agree and I think there's a reason why,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42although I lost many times, I wasn't brought back into the boardroom
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and on that particular task with the DIY,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I definitely got my hands dirty.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I mean, it is always a gamble, as we know,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50being project manager on the first task.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Yeah, I didn't want to. But when you're presented with a food task
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and everything you want to do is about food,
0:23:55 > 0:23:56it would be ridiculous not to.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00But I think I would've benefited from perhaps understanding
0:24:00 > 0:24:02the process a bit more before doing that task
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and I would have definitely done some things differently.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And can you clear up once and for all what everyone actually wants to know?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10What was the specification for the fishcakes?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15The specification, I would have to ask Brett
0:24:15 > 0:24:17because it clearly meant a lot to him.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18It meant a lot to him, didn't it?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22This is your nemesis in the kitchen - wasn't it? - was Brett.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26And this week over on Team Connexus, Brett actually was running things.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29How impressed were you by Brett this week?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30I don't like Brett.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I think he looks like someone's put some stubble on a sweet potato.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37We're not going to war,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39we're cleaning some steps, aren't we, Brett?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I find people like that very difficult to deal with,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44so I have a lot of sympathy for you, particularly
0:24:44 > 0:24:47when there's specifications. And somebody who says,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51"I formulated a flyer," can just get in the bin as far as I'm concerned.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I thought he was great. I thought Brett was excellent.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55I did think he was excellent.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I thought he managed it well, he was good.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58He was dealing...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00In Selina and Sam, he was working with
0:25:00 > 0:25:02two people that didn't really...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Not only did they not know what they were doing,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07they didn't have an appetite for that type of work at all.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09And he managed it very well, I thought.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12To Selina's credit this week, she also grafted
0:25:12 > 0:25:13and they got on with it.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I think Brett shot himself in the foot
0:25:15 > 0:25:17because he didn't deliver on the task.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18They didn't deliver the project.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Sadly, April, Lord Sugar isn't going to be investing in your business
0:25:22 > 0:25:24but let's have a look at the advice
0:25:24 > 0:25:26that he's got for you for your future.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Well, April is a very intelligent young lady.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32She took the challenge of being the project manager on task one
0:25:32 > 0:25:34and bang, bang, bang, we're going to do this,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37we're going to do that, we're going to do nicoise salad,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38we're going to do fishcakes,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41let's get on with it and that's the name of our team.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Blah, blah, blah, let's get out and get on with it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45That was very good, I like that.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48She showed me some very good things in the early stages.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51My only advice to her is - continue to be decisive but,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55when you've made a decision, when you've set the foundations,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58when you've set the idea up, follow it through,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01don't just think it's going to happen.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, are you going to take on board any of that advice?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- I'm glad he liked my decisiveness cos it hasn't gone.- Good, good.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09And it sounds like you are now following through
0:26:09 > 0:26:11because you've opened your restaurant.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Yeah, luckily other people think that I could do something amazing
0:26:14 > 0:26:16so I was able to open my place in Brixton.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18What's the best thing to have in your restaurant?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I actually have a £9 salad on the menu and, yes, there is
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- tuna and people do pay for it, so it's all good.- Fantastic.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well, good luck with it all and it's been great to have you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28It's time to find out
0:26:28 > 0:26:31whether we agree that April should have been fired tonight.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Lara, do you think Lord Sugar was right to fire April?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38You've left me in a quandary because you come across delightfully.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40And cheery and smiley.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43But I do think your standoffishness came...
0:26:43 > 0:26:46meant you came a cropper, so, yes, I would have fired you.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Joe?- I think...
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Not because... You are clearly a very good businesswoman, I think
0:26:53 > 0:26:55it obviously wasn't going to work with Lord Sugar.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- So I think, yes, he made the right decision.- Romesh?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I don't think you weren't any more culpable than Charleine was,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04you know, in terms of she was there as well,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07you got stuck in the same amount as she did, so, in this case,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- I don't think you should have been fired, no.- Thank you.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12OK, well, it's time for the audience.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired",
0:27:14 > 0:27:15if you don't agree, hold up "hired".
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Let's have a look at those cards now.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think that's a fired as well, April, I have to say.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26That's a fired from the audience as well
0:27:26 > 0:27:29but you've been a great candidate on The Apprentice.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32As you know, nobody leaves empty-handed from this show,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35so I had to think about what I'd get for you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It had to be a fishcake.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Don't worry, I have checked with Brett to make sure it is...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45It is specifically to the specifications.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47It's to the specifications, don't worry about that.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- This is for you to take away with you.- Can it fit over my bun?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It will go over the bun. There we are.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- There you are.- Thank you. - All right, good stuff.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58APPLAUSE
0:27:58 > 0:28:00April, you've been a real pleasure to have on the show.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Let's make magic happen.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I'm taller than the average person and I have a lot of confidence.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- She knows what she wants. - Fishcakes, that's what we're doing.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13A lovely strong, strong lady.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Over and under and over and under.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I get what I want, I just go, I ask nicely,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I ask the right person and I smile.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24My first dog was a dachshund and it was Anastasia Edwina Jackson.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And I now have a Yorkie called Diva.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Done deal.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31April is really exuberant and full of life.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Made salad with these hands.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43That sounds hilarious coming out of your mouth.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Ladies and gentlemen, April Jackson.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47APPLAUSE
0:28:50 > 0:28:54That's all for tonight. Thank you to Lara, Joe and, well,
0:28:54 > 0:28:55all right, then, Romesh.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23You just want to smash him all the time.
