Episode 9 The Apprentice: You're Fired

You haven't used any of your skills,

any of the things you claim you're experts in. A disgusting result.

I don't want to hear anything more from you. You're fired.

You're fired. You're fired.

This programme contains some strong language.

Thank you! Good evening. I'm Jack Dee.

Welcome to The Apprentice: You're Fired.

This week, as well as a firing there was a shock

resignation in the boardroom, but luckily nobody overreacted

and everyone just took it in their stride.

What is he doing?!

Oh, my God!

HE GASPS THEATRICALLY

LAUGHTER

But, for me, that wasn't the most shocking moment of the week.

Lord Sugar's aide, Karren Brady, got it badly wrong.

No show flat, no floor plans...

They're just a plate of biscuits.

You are wrong!

There were jam tarts on that plate and you know it, Brady!

And Gary showed that when it comes to selling,

he knows how to charm the ladies.

-Nice throne!

-I think he needs to stay in, yeah?

Yeah, I could do with a moment but I don't want to put the clients off.

Yep, he's thinking, "Probably best not do the leave-a-deposit gag."

Joining me for this week's viewing are much sought-after

international business adviser, Allyson Stewart-Allen,

handy for the station, Radio 1's Greg James

and sitting tenant is Romesh Ranganathan.

Welcome to You're Fired.

APPLAUSE

Now, Selina was fired tonight, as we know.

She's not going to be joining us this evening,

but we do wish her all the best for the future.

However, that wasn't the only story of the night.

Yes, in tonight's apartment-selling task,

one candidate got himself into a REAL ESTATE...

after his performance was a little FLAT.

LAUGHTER

I'm sorry, I'd like to exit the process at this point.

Scott, I've got to tell you, from what I'm hearing, you are a very,

very lucky man.

Anyway, I'll see you on the next task, OK?

I'd like to just quickly say, thank you for the opportunity

but I would like to...

I would like to exit the process at this point.

Oh, my God!

You're doing my job for me!

-All I can do is thank you very much indeed, OK?

-Thank you very much.

Oh, my God!

-Scott, what are you doing?!

-I'm off.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Scott Saunders!

WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Listen to that! They love you!

Scott!

-Whoo!

-Whoa!

That's quite a reception. They love you. Welcome to You're Fired.

I can't even call it You're Fired, can I?

-Maybe change the name.

-Are you trying to put me out of a job?

That's It: I'm Off - that's what this show is called from now on.

-Why did you do that?

-Um, well, first of all,

I feel a bit kind of star-struck

-just being here in front of you guys.

-Don't worry about them.

-Completely understandable, mate.

-LAUGHTER

Um, to be honest, I think maybe I outstayed my welcome,

especially on that task, judging by what Lord Sugar said.

I think, you know, there is two people in the investment process

and I think possibly me and Lord Sugar...

I don't think we'd have worked for the business going forward.

I don't know, I think there's better people suited.

In which case, you chose your words very carefully,

but weren't you tempted to...

You could have said anything now you knew you were going.

You could have called him Alan! LAUGHTER

Yeah. I chose the words carefully purely because

he's a very respectable person and he has accomplished so much.

It's a great opportunity to even be there,

so when I made that decision, I don't think it's right for me

to continue if there is other people there who may be best

suited for Lord Sugar, and I didn't want to take that opportunity.

Even though you were on the winning side,

Lord Sugar said you were lucky not to be fired.

Let's have a look at why he would have said that.

According to the feedback I got from Karren, when push came to shove

you didn't know the answer to a lot of questions.

So this area here would be for your washing machine and also...um...

it would be for your...fridge?

I... I didn't know everything straightaway.

You didn't know ANYTHING, actually, Scott.

-And this would be walking into the dining room.

-Scott?

-Yep?

It's the lounge.

The pitch was...OK. I mean, it wasn't great.

So we're just here and it's very highly populated by everybody.

It was just a train crash.

It's a nice open space for the windows to have the sun

come in throughout the day and the night.

LAUGHTER

The contrast between the two teams was staggering.

You two were impressive, you two, not so much.

-MUMBLES:

-What else...is there to do...?

LAUGHTER Resign?

Listen, Scott, you got quite defensive in the boardroom

about the fact that you'd never sold property before.

But all you had to do was remember a layout of the flat,

and the walls were only that high,

you could see it from where you were standing.

What was your problem, did your mind go blank?

Er, there's a lot to learn in a really small amount of time.

And I'm good at designing and selling if I know exactly what

the product is, and when I'm really confident that's great for me.

I can go in really hard.

On this, I just couldn't pick up everything from it.

It just wasn't coming to my mouth and when I was speaking to the few

people that came through, I just was getting everything wrong.

And if it wasn't for Brett, I would have been sat there like a turkey.

It was so strange, because you were sort of...

I mean, I was thinking, "I'd quite like to live with Scott.

"This guy doesn't care what the rooms are.

"He'll eat in the bathroom, take a wee in the kitchen.

-"This guy doesn't care."

-When I'm drunk, that happens!

Lord Sugar challenged you and you said, "I haven't any experience as an estate agent,"

-but you do have experience of living in a house.

-LAUGHTER

Surely you can sort of identify the rooms.

Allyson, if you want to buy a property,

does it matter how well the estate agent performs?

No-one thinks, "Oh, it's a perfect house, it's the right price, but

"hang on, that estate agent, didn't like his aftershave - I'm not buying it."

Does that happen? It's got to be the right person you buy from?

It matters a lot, yes, because what you're selling is more than just

-a physical place to live.

-Yeah.

You're selling a romantic idea for people,

so it's more than just a transaction.

If you're spending that kind of money you want a bit of a relationship,

you want to trust the person, you need the reassurance,

so there's a lot more to it than just, "Let's do the deal."

It perhaps wasn't the most eloquent sales patter on that occasion,

but tell us more about these windows that let in the sun during the day and the night.

LAUGHTER

Well, I think we should look into that. It could be a new prospect...

You were bigging up Clapham! It's good. You called it "The Clapham".

Yeah. It should be known as its own place, I think.

It's got a lot to offer.

It has. Well, not any more, but, you know...

It's always the case that when teams split between high-ticket

and low-ticket items, there's always competition,

but you were very, very touchy

about wanting to sell the high-end, and then later admitted you

knew nothing about property, which is a pretty strange strategy, isn't it?

-I thought I knew everything about property...

-You did?

And then it turns out there's more to just bricks and rooms...

-If you want windows, there is.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Romesh, did you feel for Scott?

-Yeah, I really did feel for you,

because you could feel that you were beaten down by the task

and I thought you did things that actually,

if you were feeling positive, you'd have tackled it better.

For example, when the couple asked for a discount

and you obviously had not a great discount to give - a 1% discount -

I think that in another week you would have sold that better.

You would have told them what the monetary value of that was.

You'd have gone, "Well, I can do this...

"It works out as this amount of money."

Yeah, I really felt for you because your skills,

which you obviously have - you proved you have skills -

they just abandoned you in that task.

This might have been the final straw, this task,

-but your energy did seem to decrease over the last couple of weeks.

-Yeah.

Just have a look at this to remind yourself.

Team Versatile just says anything that comes our way,

we can basically deal with it.

Really confident in taking the pitch on. It can't go that wrong.

-19 quid, then, yeah?

-LAUGHTER

I would love to put myself up as project manager.

I've been in the winning team three times in a row.

I feel like I'm in my element. I love selling.

Probably the best children's book on the market right now.

I can imagine it looking amazing, especially in the summer.

-How are you doing?

-Yeah, I'm not interested.

You don't know what I've got to say! I haven't even said anything!

How can you say, "I'm not interested?" Yeah, whatever.

I didn't feel good at any part of the task.

-You're going to be canned again?

-No, it's just been...horrendous.

MELANCHOLY STRINGS PLAY

ALL: Awwwwww!

I was expecting Pudsey Bear to come in and give you a hug!

-I would hug him right back.

-That was so sad.

When we hit the Manchester task, the discount buying,

that's when it really hit me.

-Um...

-It broke your spirit, didn't it?

-It did, actually.

A lot. I put 100 million per cent into every single task...

How does that work?

Figures might be a problem for you.

-LAUGHTER

-You're right, I stayed away from them.

I put so much effort into everything I did.

-I'm really passionate about what I do.

-Yeah.

And when it came down to the discount buying,

I felt a bit let down because I was really trying to pull

everyone together, and that's when it hit me that...

Because you started kind of acting quite weird. You started harassing

strangers and talking to people on the escalator,

trying to sell people Maltesers randomly.

I knew my whole flow was off. I wasn't in sync.

I wasn't in my element, like I normally am.

OK. Well, Karren pointed out in the boardroom that the difference

between Brett and Scott and Richard and Vana was staggering.

And Vana, in particular,

really did seem to know what she was doing this week.

Let's have a look.

We love this experience.

We felt it from the moment we saw your office,

and seeing the building, I mean, it's really incredible.

OMG!

Vana understood that the man was very passionate

about his building and talked architecture with him.

I think the guy was very impressed.

My parents are architects in New York, so...

-Then it's an easy conversation.

-Yeah, yeah.

Canary Wharf has a brand name to it that makes it really attractive.

Where are you from, by the way? Are you Italian?

From Brazil!

You've been chosen as one of the exclusive customers

that we've called today.

-Hi, Mr Jamil. I'm Vana. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

My parents have a three-bedroom in New York

and they're architects, so I know what the flow will be like.

Let's go for it.

What do her parents do again? LAUGHTER

I felt she should have mentioned that a bit more.

Allyson, Vana took a few risks there,

and she and Richard decided not to use the show flat

because it was a bit too much like a building site.

She effectively ended up doing a made up plan on the back of an envelope.

Is that the way to go? Would you have done it that way?

-Well, I think people want to see SOMETHING.

-Yeah.

-You know.

So I would have used that show flat...

I don't know why they didn't. I was really kind of like...

I didn't understand why they didn't go in there.

I didn't understand either.

-Greg, where you impressed by Vana's performance?

-I was.

I feel like I'd be ground down by her being so nice and interested

in everything

and I think I'd probably have bought a house off her.

And... But...

In the task as a whole, who are these people that are just

turning up and going, "I haven't seen it, but, um...

-"Yeah, let's go for it."

-Yeah!

One woman said, "Oh, my husband is going to kill me!"

LAUGHTER

-Like it's a pair of shoes or something!

-Are you joking?!

But I think Vana, her conviction, I really believed in,

and that bit where the guys turn up in the Rolls-Royce

and she was there going...and she crept in and went,

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-"I've done absolutely everything we can for you."

I'm like, "OK, I believe you!"

"I believe this means so much to you! Have all my money!

"I want to buy the house! I'll buy ten! Let's go! Yes!"

To be honest, those guys, I mean, they probably

bought a flat on their way to that meeting, know what I mean?

LAUGHTER

Let's talk for a minute about the really important stuff.

What did you think of their snack selection?

-I thought it was unacceptable.

-Yeah.

-ALLYSON:

-Mm!

I mean, if you haven't got a floor plan, you've got to have vol-au-vents.

-LAUGHTER

-That is a basic rule.

Jam tarts?! What?!

I think Lord Sugar should have come out and gone,

"Is this the snacks? You're fired."

-LAUGHTER

-There's no way that should be allowed.

-I'm surprised he didn't.

So Vana saved your skin, didn't she, in the handyman task?

Because you basically promised this woman you were going to

-transform her home into the Eden Project...

-You know what...

..but with nothing but a trowel, and Vana came in and said,

"Hold on a second. Basically we're going to mow your lawn,

"get rid of the mattress and the syringes and that's about it."

Because that saved a big embarrassment for you, didn't it?

Yeah. Um, Vana grew within the process.

At the start she may not have done that well, but this task

especially, the property, she was in her absolute element.

You couldn't fault her. She knew the industry inside out.

-She's grown up on it, you know. It was made for her.

-Has she really(?)

-Yeah! Did you know her mum and dad were architects?

-They're not!

-I swear to God!

-LAUGHTER

Well, at this point we normally talk about the winning team,

but things have been turned on their head this week,

so we're moving on to talk about the losing team, Team Versatile.

Selina was the fired candidate, of course, as I mentioned.

She isn't here tonight, but let's have a look at her journey

through the process and how she ended up in the boardroom.

I'm going to be project manager.

Scott, Charleine and myself are all going to go and sell.

-Yeah, all right.

-Amazing. Whoo-hoo!

I just don't like questions that make no sense.

You're right, I shouldn't bring up anything that I have an opinion on.

Por favor! No, not por favor, s'il vous plait!

There's an old saying, no smoke without fire.

You are a different person on task than you are in this boardroom.

Hey!

This will be the best purchase you've made all year.

I sold the most yesterday.

OK, you did sell the most yesterday, but this morning you didn't.

She looks like she got the hump to me.

Now, Selina, this is right up your alley - party planning.

OK, and...make a wish!

-They loved it!

-Well done on your win.

-I think for me it's not going to be today.

-Mm-hm.

I think it's a real shame that I didn't confirm any business.

On this task, it seems you couldn't even flog a property

playing Monopoly, Selina.

You're fired.

Allyson, Selina got the job that she wanted,

-selling high-end properties, and she didn't sell anything!

-No.

-Was it her fault, do you think?

-There were a lot of things going on.

One was her consistent lack of taking on ownership of the problems.

And as I watched not just this episode,

but all of the last ones,

she clearly is assuming that every mistake is everybody else's fault,

so that's a problem.

But it's also about this romancing of the customer, listening.

Not having just her own agenda top of mind

but really wanting to know, what does that customer - in this case,

what does this buyer - really want in a property?

And I didn't see a lot of demonstration of true

understanding or listening, so that's a problem for me.

Romesh, the criticism's been levelled at Selina week after week

that she sits back, she's not proactive enough,

doesn't help out and lets other people do the work.

Generally, is that fair?

No, I was devastated to see Selina go.

LAUGHTER

I think the reason she didn't make the sales

is clearly Joseph's fault and...

I'm joking! I mean, she...

I think the problem is that... She did do good things.

You know, she was project manager first week out,

she's won as project manager when it came to the party planning -

she did do good things, she has got qualities.

I think the problem is, one minute

she's saying the guy that had the properties didn't like Joseph

and she was the one that was suited to selling high-end properties

and then the next minute, when she doesn't sell

a high-end property, it's because Joseph wasn't giving her guidance.

Is Joseph good or is Joseph rubbish?

She needs to make up her mind on that, do you know what I mean?

So I think that, although I think she does have qualities,

she would do well to listen to some criticism a bit more

and use that to improve as the process goes on,

rather than just shutting it down and saying,

"No, it's not my fault, it's somebody else's fault."

There was this thorny topic of who may or may not be polished enough

to sell to millionaires. Should that matter?

If you can sell, can't you sell to anyone?

It should matter and it does matter, especially at that top end.

So when you want to spend that kind of money,

you have to trust the person that's selling you that property

and, if that polish is missing, seeds of doubt are sown.

Joseph was told to lose his braces and the pink shirt

because it didn't give off the right image, or whatever.

In fairness, he does look like Tony Soprano's nephew, doesn't he? It's...

But did they have a point, telling him to change the way he looks?

Absolutely.

If there's a huge disconnect and you don't look like them

then you're basically raising lots of flags in people's minds,

like, "How come you don't look like me?

"You should look like me, I want to trust you,"

and we trust people that look like us.

I think that's a massive issue cos there's definitely

no-one else in the country that has that moustache.

That needs to go.

But all credit to Joseph for keeping his quiff, even with a hard hat on.

LAUGHTER

Joseph as project manager, generally, did you... Good job or not?

I think he did a good job.

I think he just went for it

and I think because he's quite young you can't really fault that.

He's just going, "Yeah, I'll give it a go."

The way that he went in to those negotiations about

taking on the high-end properties was insanity.

You know, he could see the guy's passionate about this new complex

and he just went straight in to,

"I think we should talk about the price."

You know, you've got to show...

They're not going to be short of people wanting to

sell £1 million properties, you know,

so you're not in short supply here - you've got to sell yourself.

-He didn't do that and he could have done.

-OK.

Well, it wasn't just the clients Joseph had to handle, it was his

team as well, and the relationship between two of them in particular.

I definitely didn't want to put Charleine and Selina together.

They've knocked heads throughout.

Do you think it maybe should've explained that on the bottle

and actually said "cactus oil is..."

-There's no point talking about that now, Charleine.

-Can I speak?

I really appreciate feedback.

Unfortunately we had people on the sub team that really wanted

to be project manager.

It's all about Charleine, as usual.

-What I'm saying is what you do, Selina...

-Do you need to shout?

Oh, Selina, you're just like an irritating wasp at a picnic.

That's your issue.

She shouldn't be in this process

and I'm amazed that she has any business at all.

# I'll be there for you... #

Do not talk over me, right? Give me a chance to speak!

I've just had to deal with Charleine screaming at me for five minutes...

-Because you don't let me speak, Selina.

-Oh, my God.

..making personal insults. I'm not here to make personal insults...

LAUGHTER

And breathe.

Now, Scott, Joseph admitted that he arranged the teams the way he did

because he didn't want to put Selina and Charleine alone together.

Meanwhile, seven million viewers going, "Do it! Do it! Do it!"

What would you have done in his position?

Erm, to be honest, I probably would have done exactly the same as him.

They're two great characters and they're very similar age -

same as me and Brett, very similar aged -

and they just went at it, at each other all the time.

You couldn't keep them together anywhere. Like, it was ridiculous.

That is definitely, 100% what he should have done.

Why was he running away from that?

It's only win-win there, do you know what I mean?

Strategically, put them together and then you can do whatever

you want cos they're just going to kill each other.

You can just sit back and chill out -

you don't have to make a single call.

If Lord Sugar says, "You didn't sell anything."

"Yeah, but everyone's alive in my sub team."

I don't know why he didn't go for that.

I mean, Allyson,

surely rivalry within a business team can be a good thing, can't it?

Absolutely, and many companies do this on purpose

because they know that actually you're upping the ante.

But it's done in a functional way, not a dysfunctional way.

And it's also depersonalised, in a sense,

so you're competing for performance, you're competing to get

a result commercially - you're not competing against a personality.

If it's done well, it's productive.

Once the disappointment about not being allowed to sell

the high-end properties had subsided, Charleine actually went on

and did very, very well with the medium-range apartments.

-Were you impressed?

-I was.

I think there's something very interesting about Charleine's MO,

her modus operandi, how she operates.

It's the presumptive close.

So in selling, you assume you've got the deal done,

you assume the sale, and in almost every episode you see

Charleine saying, "So, that's a deal."

So she's assuming it's done, and there's

a lot about the psychology of that that really does work.

I think we need to address the fact that Charleine did something

that was completely out of order in this task,

and that is go out into the street and canvas clients.

I just thought,

you're encouraging estate agents to leave their natural habitat.

LAUGHTER

We're no longer safe anywhere we go.

We could be shopping anywhere

and you get accosted by someone going, "Want to buy a house?"

"Piss off!"

I thought that was a horrible precedent to set.

Well, as we know, this series, Romesh has been investigating

what it might be like to be an Apprentice candidate.

What have you been looking at this week?

Actually, I have been observing the candidates throughout the process.

I thought it would just be a good experience for me to watch them on

the tasks, just mainly to reinforce my belief in my own superior skills.

But I'm surprised you've never noticed me...

Actually, the truth is you won't have noticed me

because I did disguise myself pretty well.

This is me first off in the Desert Secret task here,

secreted behind the cactus. The next task...

Basically I went to France and I decided to blend in with the locals.

And what I found there is that the locals really enjoy

basic stereotyping, that's sort of what I found.

The next task, I wore one of the most versatile garments that

I've ever worn, actually.

You can wear that with a suit, you can

wear that with a tracksuit, you can wear that with a bikini...

It's brilliant. Next up, this is me in the cash and carry task.

Here I had hidden myself so well that I nearly got shipped to China.

LAUGHTER

Then I decided to join in with the property task.

That is not actually me being greedy, I just took that so that

I could chuck it at Richard to knock some of the smug off of him.

-Thank you very much, Romesh.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

I've got an idea for Christmas, Romesh. You know Where's Wally?

I'm going to get a little woolly jumper, stripy jumper for you

and a stripy hat and put you in the middle of a big crowd and go home.

LAUGHTER

So, Scott, sadly...

Sadly, Lord Sugar isn't going to be investing in you,

which is a great shame. Not that you gave him a chance, really.

But let's have a look to see whether he's got any advice for you.

Scott had performed very, very well throughout

the course of the process up until this particular task.

And it was clear from the information given to me

that he had made some serious mistakes, and I have to say

that I pressurised him quite a bit and so did Karren.

Up until then he'd been quite good.

He'd been very helpful to his other colleagues,

he'd been cohesive in keeping the teams together.

I was very surprised that he took that attitude in the end

and all I can say to him is that maybe lesson learnt there,

because he's quite good at encouraging

his colleagues and workmates.

I think he let himself down a little bit in the end.

Yeah, Lord Sugar's putting on a brave face

but underneath he's still hurting.

Scott.

Do you think there's fair comments there?

There was some good stuff there, wasn't there?

Yeah, it is really fair. I mean...

As we've been going through, talking about it,

I wasn't performing as well towards the end

and everything he said there is completely, you know, fair.

So, what's next for you, Scott?

So I've just launched my company, which is

a first-of-its-kind payroll comparison website.

It compares contractor accountants, umbrella companies,

insurance companies all in one place and it's the first to exist

in the world, so it's a good place for the self-employed to...

-Good luck with that.

-Thank you very much.

I hope it goes really well for you.

Well, usually at this point we find out

whether we agree that Scott was the right person to be fired

and that's not going to work this week, obviously.

But just for fun, let's find out if you would have hired or fired Scott.

Allyson.

For this particular task, I'm afraid, Scott,

I would have fired you.

I think you have great potential. You heard Lord Sugar talk about your

enthusiasm, I just didn't really see that coming through, so...

-Fair point.

-Greg.

I think, in terms of the whole show...

-I would have definitely kept you there.

-Thank you.

-I think you're one of the good guys so I would have kept you on.

-Cheers.

Romesh.

Scott, I think you are a phenomenal seller.

I think you're going to go on to be a massive success

and you've got great qualities.

But I would say you needed to be fired for your own safety.

LAUGHTER

And so to the audience vote. Would you have hired or fired Scott?

-I'm afraid that's looking pretty much like a fired, Scott.

-I know!

-I feel hurt.

-OK, you can put them down. Thank you very much.

-OK, so I'm going to leave.

-No, no, don't!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Well, you know what?

We're really sorry to be losing you from The Apprentice

because you've been a joy to watch.

When you walked out, you passed on the opportunity to enjoy

one of the coveted Apprentice treats.

We didn't want you to miss out,

so I've got you the speedboat experience kit.

So that's your own speedboat, you see? I'll put that there.

-You've got all the characters there.

-Oh, brilliant.

-If I do that, you get the wind in your face.

-Oh, really feel this.

-Really feeling it.

-You would if it worked.

-Yeah.

-You'd get the wind in your face.

-Oh, cool.

-I got it from a discount shop so it's not...

-Wow.

-There you are. Then a bit of water on you.

-Really setting the scene.

-All right?

-That just feels weird.

APPLAUSE

And this...

As you know it's the BBC, so we have to be health and safety...

I need you to wear those at all times.

Well, Scott, you've been a great guest, great candidate.

Let's have a look at your highlights.

Ready?

Got sweets here, two for £1.50.

There's too much bush.

Scott just wants the best out of himself
