0:00:03 > 0:00:04You haven't used any of your skills,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07any of the things that you claim that you're experts in.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09A disgusting result. I don't want to hear anything from you.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11You're fired.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Good evening, I'm Jack Dee. Welcome to The Apprentice - You're Fired.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Well, this week, the candidates set up rival discount stores in
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Manchester's Arndale Centre, although Gary seemed to misunderstand the task
0:00:33 > 0:00:36and he tried to set up the world's most disappointing theme park.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Just take a handful out and add to the presentation.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Then we've got our little beauty world as well.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43House world.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45So, this is our toilet world.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51So that's his business plan! Come to Toilet World!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Yeah, not sure about the water slide.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54AUDIENCE GROANS
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Meanwhile, Charleine dazzled us all with her powers of observation.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01You all right, Charleine, yeah? Yeah.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The heavy candles are heavy.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And Vana nearly gave one elderly Mancunian a heart attack.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Discount Haven, you should check it out.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Right over there next to Ann Summers. Thank you!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16LAUGHTER
0:01:16 > 0:01:19So, if you're looking for a scouring pad and a dildo,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21you know where to go.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Joining me after hours for this week's
0:01:23 > 0:01:27stock-taking are high-quality product Lord Sugar's right hand woman,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Karren Brady, our very own branded goods,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32The Apprentice Online's Matt Edmondson
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and unexpected item in the bagging area, it's Romesh Ranganathan.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40APPLAUSE
0:01:42 > 0:01:46In tonight's task, one candidate was hoping to do TROLLEY well
0:01:46 > 0:01:49but he couldn't quite CASH-AND-CARRY it off.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50AUDIENCE GROANS
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Sorry, I know that was a very poor-quality pun
0:01:53 > 0:01:56but it was incredibly cheap - I got it from a discount store.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Sam, I have visions of you just going through the motions.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04You may have reached the end of the road here.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Sam, you're fired.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Thank you. Thank you anyway. Thank you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sam Curry.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Sam...
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Oh!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Welcome to the show. Thank you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34How are you feeling? You OK? Yeah, I'm fine.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38That was one of the tensest boardrooms, really, for some time.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Yeah. A lot of the tension, I have to say, was in your face.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You know, you got really angry -
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'm not used to seeing you like that.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48What was it like having to fight for your survival?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I think the whole task was tense, you know?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53As you saw in the boardroom, I think with Scott
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and Selina on a team and everyone else, it was just...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Everyone was just at each other the whole task and do you know what?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02By the end of the boardroom, I was like, "Thank God!"
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Karren, were you surprised to see Sam showing his teeth like that
0:03:06 > 0:03:07at that late stage?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I think what a lot of people don't realise is
0:03:09 > 0:03:14the pressure in these tasks mounts week after week after week,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17and it's about this time that people start to realise that yes,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20it's important to work as a team but you need to defend yourself,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and I think that's exactly what you were doing.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Good. I love you, Sam. Aww! I really do. Thanks.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I found your losing your temper in the boardroom...
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Well, looking to lose your temper,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34looking like you lost your temper, like, very entertaining.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Just the way you went, "That is outrageous! I can't believe it!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40"I've never been so insulted!"
0:03:40 > 0:03:42It was brilliant to watch.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Just with, like, rapiers and a full-on sword fight. Brilliant.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48As we've seen, it was another very highly-charged boardroom for you.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Let's see how you ended up there.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54It sounds to me less of a pop-up shop and more like a cock-up shop.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Total price of ?333.70.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Total amount is 368. Brilliant. Yeah?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02It's not. Is it not? Hold on.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06You messed up on calculations yet again. It was quite embarrassing.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Sam was sort of crawling round on the floor with his calculator.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13It wasn't my finest moment. He didn't have a good day yesterday.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16He messed all the figures up and he's lost his way again today.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Hi, sir, how are you?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Do you want to come and look at our new discount store?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Sir, yourself? No worries.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Ugh...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Self-tan wipes? They're really good.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Do I look like I need a tan? Well, no.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You may have reached the end of the road here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31BEEPING Oh, shut up.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Ugh...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35BEEPING CONTINUES
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Screw that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Yes, an important rule of business - if at first you don't succeed,
0:04:40 > 0:04:41screw that.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Look, Sam, you admitted yourself you're not very good at maths
0:04:44 > 0:04:48but you're not even good at calculators, are you?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50What happened at the cash-and-carry, then?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Cos that was where there was quite a big mistake there, wasn't there?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I think it was to do with this 2.5% or something
0:04:55 > 0:04:57that we'd got off right at the end.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01And I think also we worked out if we were to take 2.5% off
0:05:01 > 0:05:05we'd buy six extra selfie sticks, or something like that. So I...
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Ugh, do you know what?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Screw it, right?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I think that was my attitude. I was like, "Numbers, go away!" OK.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, Matt, do you have any sympathy with Sam? How's your maths?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Massive sympathy. I think the problem is you're too nice.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19So if someone says, "Someone has to do the maths,"
0:05:19 > 0:05:21they give it to Sam cos you're not going to argue.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You're not there to self-preservate, as Brett would say.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Didn't have that in mind. And I think it's difficult, right?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You're in a big building, loads of shiny things,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31you're getting distracted.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Karren, you at one stage were that close to buying a meerkat
0:05:34 > 0:05:36with plugholes for eyes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Very easy to sort of go off the track there. Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And I think we've all had that thing where you
0:05:41 > 0:05:44go for dinner at a restaurant and you have to split the bill
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and everyone adds up their own bit and at the end you're ?4 short.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Right. And someone's not added on the... Service charge. Exactly.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53So I can totally sympathise with you. Thank you
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Was there any part of you that was slightly annoyed with Karren
0:05:55 > 0:05:58and the way that she grassed you up? Because...
0:05:58 > 0:06:00LAUGHTER
0:06:00 > 0:06:02You must have thought...you must have thought you'd nearly got
0:06:02 > 0:06:05away with it and Karren went, "Hold on a minute..."
0:06:07 > 0:06:10You properly put the boot in.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Alan needs to know everything - that's Alan to me,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Lord Sugar to you, Romesh. Yes, yes.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16He needs to know everything.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Well, I've been told! Yeah!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I think that's called thug life, isn't it? That's what it is, yeah.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, you had trouble with figures last week as well, didn't you,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31with the handyman task? Yeah. Do you...?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34This started to happen rather regularly.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Were you volunteering to be in charge of sums or...? No.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39What was happening?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think what happens a lot in the tasks is
0:06:42 > 0:06:44so many figures are thrown around and someone's like,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46"Oh, we need five more of these and actually,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48"give them 2.5% off and take this and..."
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So sometimes it's not necessarily just the figures themselves,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53it's all the noise.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And you're kind of writing down hundreds of different calculations.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Because, for example, the task before was the construction,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01when we had the two figures. I think it was a ?100 discrepancy. Mmm.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's because we made up a figure based on how many hours
0:07:04 > 0:07:06we should work and then Brett was like,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09"Oh, just chuck on 100 quid and we'll do it like that."
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So then you're like, "77... Oh, no, wait." Do you know what I mean?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Now I'm confused. Were you struggling to add 100?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17LAUGHTER Yeah, yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19It wasn't just your maths that Karren and Lord Sugar weren't too
0:07:19 > 0:07:22impressed with, it was your selling skills as well.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Was that a fair comment, do you think? Erm...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I mean, everything's relative, right?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I'm not the best seller in the world.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I had a good day on the first day.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I think I sold more than Scott and as much as Selina
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and on the second day as well.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I'm not a salesman naturally but I did... I thought I did an OK job.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think part of your problem is you don't look like
0:07:45 > 0:07:47a discount store dude.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48I take that as a compliment!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, you look like somebody that's accidentally
0:07:50 > 0:07:53wandered in there by mistake, do you know what I mean?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55"Might as well sell some stuff while I'm here!"
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So, there's a lot of friction within Team Connexus this week.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Now, were you feeling that, particularly, that friction?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08It was awful. It was just... Scott and...
0:08:08 > 0:08:12I mean, they're lovely, but on certain tasks very easily angered
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and I think when you're trying to kind of progress as a team...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Everyone kept talking about teamwork and positivity like we were
0:08:19 > 0:08:23at some sort of yoga retreat, but it is important and I think we just...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Everyone was at each other's throats
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and as you can see in the episode, everyone was like,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29"I want to sell most," and it was like, "Oh, God."
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It was almost like it was some sort of competition.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34LAUGHTER
0:08:34 > 0:08:36What was that...?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40What was that flare-up between Scott and Brett? What was all that about?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Because that almost came to fisticuffs, it looked.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yeah, David Attenborough probably should have narrated that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48"Here we have two male..."
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You can clarify for us, Karren - you were there, weren't you? Yup.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Brett, he didn't actually say, "I will smash your face in," did he?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59He just said, "Do that again, say that again to me and I'll...?"
0:08:59 > 0:09:02That's exactly what happened. Yeah. The tension was really high
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and I think this rumour went round the team
0:09:04 > 0:09:07that individual sales was much more important than teamwork,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09so everyone was then out for themselves
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and everyone was trying to side-track everyone's sales and
0:09:12 > 0:09:15almost jumping on people's sales, and pressure started to build up.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19And Scott was messing around with what things go at the front
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and what things don't go at the front and there was just a face-off.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24There was a lot of tension between you and Scott
0:09:24 > 0:09:26in the boardroom, and afterwards.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Have a look at this.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42#Awkward!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44What happened there? Did he just walk off?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Yeah, he did. Erm...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49We were both really angry at each other.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Scott went for a kind of personal attack,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53which was unsubstantiated - he doesn't know me that well.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And I think he got bits of different information from throughout
0:09:56 > 0:10:00the house and kind of formulated an attack that wasn't fair.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I thought Scott was bang out of order, actually. Thank you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06He was... He has been such a nice guy throughout the process
0:10:06 > 0:10:10and then in that boardroom, he suddenly turned. Yeah.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It was like he thought, "I've had a bad task here.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14"Am I in the firing line?"
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And then he's spotted that he could attack you
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and then he just went for you non stop. It was insane.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Well, Scott certainly had a lot to handle as project manager,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24and it didn't look like he enjoyed himself very much.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Let's have a look at this.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Scott has not had an easy day. Right here.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Anyone got a smartphone, iPhone? No.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You don't know what I'm going to say!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Anyone want to buy any Maltesers or, well, body wash or anything? No?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's all right, I'll talk to myself.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41OK, right.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44'Everyone thinks their idea's the best and it has to be that way.'
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Everyone's annoying me in some aspect.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I think there's a heated moment of just everyone just...
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Having a go at you, Scott?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53I sold the most yesterday.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56OK, you did sell the most yesterday but this morning you didn't.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Whatever, whatever. I want that stuff in there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Speak to me like that again... This is horrendous.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03It wasn't pleasant, though, was it?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It wasn't a very nice experience.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09And before you write in, they were talking about the task,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11not visiting Manchester.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15What did you think of Scott as project manager?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It felt like Scott had a very personal week
0:11:17 > 0:11:19and took everything very personally.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Even people walking by, strangers that didn't want to buy
0:11:22 > 0:11:25a selfie stick, he really took it to heart.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27"Oh, you don't want a selfie stick? Whatever!"
0:11:27 > 0:11:28He'd gone borderline insane.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Like, he was on the escalator, tried to sell Maltesers and then went,
0:11:33 > 0:11:34"Oh, don't talk to me."
0:11:34 > 0:11:36How is that transaction going to go forward?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40How are you going to do the change? What are you talking about, Scott?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41People are not...
0:11:41 > 0:11:45There's no transaction that's been done on an escalator.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Just shove a PDQ at them.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50They're not being rude, they think you're mental. Nobody...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Karren, you were full of praise for Vana and Brett.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Well, as you've all alluded to, the dynamics in the team didn't work.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05Scott talked himself more and more into a negative, you know, mind-set
0:12:05 > 0:12:08and that spilled over into the team.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12But saying that, Brett and Vana were always upbeat.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14They were always pushing forward.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I think they realised, if no-one else did, that actually
0:12:17 > 0:12:20if your team win, neither of you are ever being taken
0:12:20 > 0:12:24back into the boardroom and I think the rest of the team sort of forgot.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Wasn't Brett sort of the one who said,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28"Hang on a second, it's every man for himself here?"
0:12:28 > 0:12:30He's obsessed with statistics, obviously,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and knows that Lord Sugar has got some spreadsheets
0:12:33 > 0:12:35where he's clocking up sales and wins and worries that it's
0:12:35 > 0:12:38going to come back and bite him when he's in the boardroom.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40But when they were sent out to go and do the marketing,
0:12:40 > 0:12:41they did go and do it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44They didn't stand their ground like some others who didn't want
0:12:44 > 0:12:48to be told where to go and continually kept on and on
0:12:48 > 0:12:51and moaning, which actually brought the whole morale down.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54They didn't like it, but off they went and they did it
0:12:54 > 0:12:55and they did it to the best of their ability.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Sam, you said Selina was very negative
0:12:58 > 0:13:01but she didn't look any worse than any of the others.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I just think maybe in terms of the dynamic of that group
0:13:03 > 0:13:05with Selina and Scott.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I certainly found it harder working with the two of them
0:13:08 > 0:13:10in conjunction than when I was working with Brett and Vana.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Yes, not so easygoing, as it were.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14You hate her, don't you? No!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I don't know what's going on with Selina cos I watch the show
0:13:17 > 0:13:20and I quite like her, but everyone seems to really hate her.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24I think the problem is her resting face is quite, kind of, grumpy.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I can't imagine what that would be like to live with, Jack.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29LAUGHTER
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I...
0:13:31 > 0:13:35In fairness to Selina, she got taken away from selling twice,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38so she was a bit upset by that. That's fair enough, isn't it?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40She felt she was being perhaps manipulated in a way
0:13:40 > 0:13:45she didn't want to go in. What were your thoughts on Selina in that task?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, she really made her feelings known.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50But I think there are times in business when you're asked to do...
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Everyone is asked to do things you don't particularly want to do.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Things that you, you know,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57don't think you're particularly skilled at.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01But if your tasked with doing them, you have to make your point and then
0:14:01 > 0:14:04get on with it and that's the point I was making about Brett and Vana.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07They made their point but they actually got on with it
0:14:07 > 0:14:08and they carried the task through,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12whereas Selina has this hangover effect of carrying on
0:14:12 > 0:14:15the disappointment with people and her body language was...
0:14:15 > 0:14:17She never gets listened to, though, that's the thing.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I think there's a slight boy who cried wolf thing with her
0:14:19 > 0:14:21where she can sometimes make good points,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23but because it's come from Selina, everyone goes,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26"We're not interested, we don't care about your points..."
0:14:26 > 0:14:28But then, is that not a learning experience about how to
0:14:28 > 0:14:31communicate with people and how to come across to get yourself heard?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33She's not a wordsmith, Sam.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36But let's move on to the winning team,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Team Versatile, with their project manager Gary.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40He came in for some criticism from Claude
0:14:40 > 0:14:42but he delivered a fairly impressive victory.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44How did you think he got on?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Well, Gary is Mr Corporate.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51He's spent his entire life in retail and boy, did it show.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I mean, he was talking about customer journey,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57the halo effect of lowering prices,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and actually, he was very good at it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I absolutely loved Gary. I thought he was brilliant
0:15:02 > 0:15:05and I think that he's got a great enthusiasm.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I'm really pleased that he did deliver, not least of all because
0:15:08 > 0:15:10he gets to keep the nickname The Postman,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12which would have sadly gone if he'd lost the task.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16But also, just his enthusiasm about setting up those zones
0:15:16 > 0:15:17and those areas, asking,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19"Does a jammy dodger go with washing powder?"
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Unless you're in a Heston Blumenthal restaurant, no, it doesn't.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24But in that case, nice.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25No-one, including Gary,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28seemed to understand the concept of a loss leader.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29I think they soon realised,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33cos they were a couple of doors down from a very well-known pound shop.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39Yes. I was trying to think of what it was called. A Land Of Pounds?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41LAUGHTER Yeah, exactly.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44And people were coming in, going, "Oh, no, it's cheaper over there,"
0:15:44 > 0:15:47so they had some market pressure that they had to respond to.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49But they actually chose very good products.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53The store looked pretty full, whereas ours looked...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I mean, not ours, yours. Yeah, sparse.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Did he do the right thing by going off to restock two hours
0:15:58 > 0:16:01before they were going to close? Do you think that was a smart move?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04No, I don't, because actually there was some items of theirs
0:16:04 > 0:16:05that were sold out,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08so had they gone earlier in the day they would have got the margin.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But actually, the whole point of this task is, it's the cash
0:16:11 > 0:16:13you have, the stock you have that is the value of the business.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I think another instant sacking moment is when
0:16:16 > 0:16:19David asked for clarification on how much the item was
0:16:19 > 0:16:22that that guy bought from the pound shop.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24LAUGHTER
0:16:24 > 0:16:29"That was ?1?" "Yes, mate, clue's in the name of the place."
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, although Team Versatile won the task, there is
0:16:31 > 0:16:35a certain problematic relationship within the team which has been
0:16:35 > 0:16:37building for a couple of weeks now.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I wonder if you can guess who I'm talking about?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Hello, ladies, how are you doing? No, Richard!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44We're selling today lovely candles.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think the thing with Richard
0:16:49 > 0:16:51is that he thinks he's better that everyone.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Who's that? It's Richard, how are you doing?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56What we wanted to do is... Can you stop talking one second, Richard?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Is David there, please?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I think Charleine absolutely doesn't trust me.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Richard, because he is a little bit irritating, he really gives you
0:17:04 > 0:17:07that extra edge because you just want to smash him all the time.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Do that again, Charleine. Mate, it's all about selling the maximum.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13All we want to do is... Charleine, first of all...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15At the end of the day, you snooze, you lose.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Honestly, she is a nightmare to work with.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Just be a little bit more professional, Charleine.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Yeah, you too!
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Do you fancy, when you move to London, getting a place round there?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Charleine? Yeah, not with you, though, Richard.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Oh, please move in together! That's a reality show I'd watch.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Karren - Charleine and Richard,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37they just seem to rub each other up the wrong way the whole time.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39What did you think of that? What did you make of it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44They're both very competitive people and they both really want to win.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I mean, their dynamic is quite similar,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50although different ways of translating that style.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54And each one wants to get the upper hand on the other.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55So Charleine saying,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57"I don't want to speak to you, I'll speak to David,"
0:17:57 > 0:17:59to try and put Richard down.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Richard's putting Charleine down by questioning her professionality.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So I think just sometimes you get personality clashes.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08In the case of Richard, he's obviously very effective
0:18:08 > 0:18:10but is difficult to work with.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Does that...? Would that work against him in the process?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Would Lord Sugar - as you've made it clear I need to refer to him as -
0:18:16 > 0:18:19would Lord Sugar put that into consideration?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Would he think, "He's really effective and it doesn't matter
0:18:22 > 0:18:23"that he's working well in a team
0:18:23 > 0:18:25"cos he's going to be a leader going forward?"
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, I think that Alan would also look at it to say
0:18:28 > 0:18:30it's not a personality contest.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But you clearly much prefer to work with people you get on with,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37that you like, than people you don't like.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41But Richard hides behind this level of professionalism.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44He's always very in sync with what he's thinking,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47he's very careful about how he approaches things, and I'd
0:18:47 > 0:18:52like to see a bit more Richard and a little bit less textbook manager.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55In fairness, Richard did ask Charleine to be more professional.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You know, like this.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Hi, madam. Let me tell you what this is all about.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06We are Manchester's newest discount store.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I've even got a T-shirt saying it. It means it's true.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Come with me and ice skate.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12What was that?! That was terrifying.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Hiya, madam, how are you doing? Get the fishing rod out.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18You're walking so fast!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I'm an ice skater, how are you?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23He so reminds me of David Brent.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26See ya later!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Not if they see you first, Richard.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Matt, do you think the people of Manchester will ever
0:19:30 > 0:19:33recover from that? I really like his technique.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34I think it would have been better
0:19:34 > 0:19:37if he'd tried to incorporate some of the products he was selling,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39otherwise you think, "Are you doing an ice rink?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41"Is there one of those on at the moment?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43"Is this guy selling invisible fishing rods?
0:19:43 > 0:19:44"What's the plan, here?"
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Karren, you would know this - you're a very successful businesswoman.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Is that a popular opening gambit?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53"Hello, I'm an ice skater. How are you?"
0:19:54 > 0:19:58It's not a line I've used myself, I have to admit.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03But I know it looks a bit cheesy and I know it feels a bit cringey,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05but in that type of environment,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07when you need to engage with people
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and you're only open for a limited time,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12you have to use all your energy and all your techniques,
0:20:12 > 0:20:13no matter how bizarre,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17to create a little bit of something around your shop and get people in.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And that's one of the reasons why they won, actually.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Because people got so...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You know, watching Richard skating,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28people went in and they bought something.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31And unfortunately, the team I was watching didn't have the same
0:20:31 > 0:20:33technique and didn't draw enough people.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Didn't do the same thing, OK.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38So, Sam, although this week didn't go so well for you,
0:20:38 > 0:20:43probably your high point was week five when you masterminded,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46really, the wonderful Snottydink when writing children's books.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Here it is. APPLAUSE
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I mean, tell us about that task.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58At the time you said you weren't that pleased with it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01The thing about that task was I was upset on the task
0:21:01 > 0:21:04because we lost and because of that one of my team had to go home,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06which I didn't feel we deserved... anyone deserved to go home.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10That's why I was sad. But, no, the book itself, I was...
0:21:10 > 0:21:11I'm proud of what we created.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I think it kind of delivers on what we wanted.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17It's got a strong moral message, it's well written,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20it's educational... It is.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22You agonised over it and, Karren,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25you witnessed the rather torturous birth of Snottydink.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I mean, you tortured yourself over every word,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32the positioning of every word, every illustration.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I think, actually, it's a pretty good book.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's a pretty good book for a one-day task.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Mm-hmm, OK. Well, you know what?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Although your maths may have let you down a couple of times,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44your words certainly never did.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Prithee, look upon this.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I am a wordsmith. A story dies without good plot.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53The Barbican Centre has like, got a theatre, cinemas...
0:21:53 > 0:21:57In my wildest dreams, let's say that it's direct a play
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and sell tickets to it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00He's very theatrical.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So, my advice when you're talking about the calamari,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06you want to bring out, you know, the spicing of the cayenne,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08the sourness of the lemon...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10He likes to kind of complain about things
0:22:10 > 0:22:12like he's some sort of Shakespearean hero.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I think there's the sort of shadow of the unused calamari
0:22:16 > 0:22:17hanging over us.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Sam did try and teach the likes of Brett and Mergim how to speak,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24you know, a bit more correct.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Sam always gives eloclusion...
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Sam always gives...those lessons to people.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Elocution lessons. They don't always work, though, do they, David?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36So, you're a lover of language.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Did you find that that helped in the process,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40apart from writing Snottydink?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Erm...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44In this process, maybe not,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47but I think in life in general, absolutely.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I've always kind of professed the virtues of language
0:22:51 > 0:22:56and communication and I think the world dies without language.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59It's how we connect as humans, mostly.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You probably found a kindred spirit in Brett, didn't you?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Do you know what I will say in Brett's defence?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Potentially, the amount of neologisms
0:23:07 > 0:23:09and coinages that Brett comes up with... Mmm.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Maybe...we might claim, you know, herald him as the new Shakespeare.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Like, he is creating his own blooming dictionary.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17He's quite creative, isn't he?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Sorry, the day that we declare Brett as the new Shakespeare is
0:23:20 > 0:23:22the beginning of the apocalypse.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Probably, yeah.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So, Sam, sadly Lord Sugar won't be investing in your business plan
0:23:28 > 0:23:32but let's see what advice he's got for you for the future.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Sam, a charming chap.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Highly intelligent and a lot of academic qualifications.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Education is a fantastic tool but of course the most important thing,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49and particularly in business, is life experience.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53And you can't pass exams, really, about business -
0:23:53 > 0:23:56you learn most of it from actually doing it.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I found him very creative and that can be a very,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03very useful tool for him in future.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06He needs to make sure he applies it in a way which can be
0:24:06 > 0:24:09commercially viable, and that's something which, you know,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11he needs to turn his attention to.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16So, some good advice there. Lord Sugar really rates you.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's clear he finds you really creative but you need to find a way
0:24:19 > 0:24:21of making it more commercially viable.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Is that a fair comment? Is that something you'll take on board?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Yeah, I think his comments about life experience...
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'm 24 and I've only...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I was at university, so I've only had two years out of it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32So I think that's valid.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37I think creativity and commercialism is a difficult line to tread.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Yeah, difficult to get the balance right. What is next for you, Sam?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42What are you up to? I'm starting a tutoring company.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It works on a sub-contractor basis,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46so we have different tutors that we send out.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48So I am not tutoring anyone in maths.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50LAUGHTER It's OK.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Well, it's time to find out
0:24:52 > 0:24:56whether we agree that Sam was the right person to be fired tonight.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Karren, do you agree that Lord Sugar was right to get rid
0:24:59 > 0:25:01of Sam at that point? I do.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I think, as Alan said, you are absolutely charming,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09but you've gone as far as you can go in this process
0:25:09 > 0:25:11and I think it was the right decision.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12OK. Matt.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I would say no. You should have stayed - I'd like to have seen
0:25:15 > 0:25:18more of you on the telly and I think Brett should have gone.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22His time is coming up and I think he might be due a firing sometime soon.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Hmm. Romesh. Erm, I don't think you should have been fired, Sam.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I think you're absolutely wonderful. Aww, thanks.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31That's nice. There's a lot of support for you there.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33APPLAUSE
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I'm going to cry!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37But, I mean, you weren't great on this task.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39But I do think that arguably Scott should have gone
0:25:39 > 0:25:42because I thought he managed the task pretty badly.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Well, let's onto the audience vote.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up fired. If you don't, hold up hired.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57That is 50-50, I would say.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Now, I know maths isn't your strong point...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04That means... Yeah, there's a lot of support for you in the room.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You've been a fantastic candidate on The Apprentice,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10a real memorable candidate, I would say, and a lovely guest on the show.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13As you know, nobody leaves You're Fired empty handed.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15So, I had a thought what I could do.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I went back to the candidates' house and I unscrewed this off the walls.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I felt you should really keep it. Oh, wow. It says...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That's for you, hope you enjoy that.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Well, Sam, you've given us some great moments.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Yeah, I like this idea. Is that OK for you guys?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47How awesome would that be?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Ii think integrity is the most important part of life.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Merci beaucoup!
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Perhaps this could be the time for you to show your true talent, Sam.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01He is absolutely phenomenal.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03What about Manny Moist? Ugh!
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Oh! What if it's...? Oh, my goodness!
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Congratulations.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11When he speaks, you really want to listen.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Calamari, there's no waste because you sell the tentacles,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15you do the body, everything.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Ooh, yeah, desert-defeating hair.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Helps to retain the moisture in your hair.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Yes! That is the one, Sam.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24So cool!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Ladies and gentlemen, Sam Curry!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Well, that's all for tonight. Thank you to Karren, Matt and Romesh.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41So, it's onto task number eight for our candidates.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47What you need to do is to throw the birthday child a party to remember.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Fantastic. I don't have children and I don't like them.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53So we need to get something to put in the party bag. Ooh, zombies!
0:27:53 > 0:27:56On your marks, get set...
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Go!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Yeah! Party Bus! Let's get the party started.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Doof, doof, doof!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I think they've forgotten this is a party.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Shit.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09We're literally having a disaster.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11THEY CHEER
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Who wants bacon?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17First rule of party planning is don't poison the client.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18And then we go...
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I don't want any help.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25They didn't miss a trick, except one.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30And the balloon. Thank you very much!
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Go to BBC iPlayer to see exclusive clips of Matt's Apprentice
0:28:34 > 0:28:37episode summaries, all in rap form, obviously.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39We'll be back next Wednesday at ten for more You're Fired
0:28:39 > 0:28:42when alongside Romesh, I'll be joined by Gabby Logan
0:28:42 > 0:28:45and expert events planner Anabel Fielding. Goodnight.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48APPLAUSE
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Battery life on smartphones is the best thing about them,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26cos when the battery runs out, then I'll interact with my kids.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Be down the park, I'm like, "That's run out.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30"Better find out where they're going with those old men."
