0:00:02 > 0:00:04Useless. Totally, absolutely useless.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I feel so angry.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08I can't put up with loose canons.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09You're fired.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10You're fired.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12You're fired.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Ah!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Good evening. Good evening and welcome to You're Fired.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31I'm Rhod Gilbert.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32In this week's task,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34the six remaining candidates competing for
0:00:34 > 0:00:37a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar were tasked with
0:00:37 > 0:00:41creating a new gin brand and bringing it to market.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45A mammoth task, then, which Grainne managed to sum up perfectly.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I-I keep forgetting I don't want it... I want it to... but I thi-think...
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I need to stop drinking this.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55In Apprentice news tonight...
0:00:55 > 0:00:56BELL CHIMES
0:00:56 > 0:01:00The girls go through Claude's man-bag and find his aftershave.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Ooh!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04LAUGHTER
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Grainne regrets giving her mobile number to Karthik before he was fired.
0:01:08 > 0:01:1019 missed calls?
0:01:10 > 0:01:11LAUGHTER
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And Trishna demonstrates why she lost her job at the library.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16What they really want more than anything is
0:01:16 > 0:01:18a drink that means something.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19It takes them on a journey...
0:01:19 > 0:01:22CLATTERING ..of taste, so we've developed a journey of taste for them
0:01:22 > 0:01:25within our brand. It's about rejuvenation...
0:01:25 > 0:01:27CLATTERING ..excitement and spices.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28LAUGHTER
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And Karren tries to explain why Donald Trump's face looks that way.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35The colouring came from natural orange peel. Well, it didn't.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36It was added in as an additive,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40to turn it that sort of strange tangerine colour.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And that is tonight's Apprentice news.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Let's meet our panel, ready to distil this week's gin task
0:01:53 > 0:01:55until their mouths go dry and their heads hurt.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57International entrepreneur Frances Dickens,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00broadcaster and Apprentice fan Sara Cox and comedian Nathan Caton.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Welcome to You're Fired.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04APPLAUSE
0:02:07 > 0:02:11So the latest candidate to get slung out the saloon doors of
0:02:11 > 0:02:14the Apprentice was poor Trishna.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Trishna, the failure of this task has a lot to do with the colour,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and that was down to you,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24so it is with regret, Trishna, that you're fired.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26No problem.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Please welcome Trishna Thakrar.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Listen to that! Listen to that! How amazing.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Have a seat.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54What a response!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Listen to that - whoops, cheers...!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- What a response. Hear that?- Yeah, amazing response. Thanks, guys.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04That's got to feel quite good, hearing that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, amazing, I think. Obviously gutted, but really good response.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Every week I sit here going,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11"She said some sensible things," and then here you are.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I didn't expect you to be here.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- I didn't expect to be here, either, to be honest.- No.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I think that I obviously had some suggestions or things
0:03:19 > 0:03:21that I thought we should do that didn't quite work out and I think
0:03:21 > 0:03:24that was probably ultimately why I got fired, mainly because of the
0:03:24 > 0:03:27colour and that was my suggestion so can't really complain in that sense.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Hm.- But I just feel, like, throughout the process,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I'd done more and shown more
0:03:31 > 0:03:33than maybe Grainne, and I felt, like, that...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36LAUGHTER
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Just pluck a name from the air.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Maybe Grainne, perhaps.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So, yeah, I was disappointed, but looking at it,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- I can see the reasons why I was fired.- Yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Frances, you've been in a lot of boardrooms in your time.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Ever seen one as blame-me as that? It got very blame-me, didn't it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Yeah, it did, yeah. Well, thankfully, no, I haven't.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59These guys are in a really super-heated situation
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and they're literally fighting for their lives, but I think,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06in the real world, you would definitely try and not let things
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- escalate to the level where your boardroom's becoming a complete war zone.- Yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Sara, could you handle that pressure?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I couldn't handle that pressure, no.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I mean, at Radio 2, it's a nice lady smiling at me
0:04:16 > 0:04:20through some glass and we might put the kettle on and have a biscuit.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I mean, I couldn't sit in that boardroom...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25But you've got five million people listening while you're having a biscuit.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Yeah, but it is relaxing cos you're essentially there just talking to them through a microphone.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32You're not seeing the sort of whites of their eyes.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35There's been quite a few tears this series, and I'm not surprised,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- cos I think I would dissolve into tears.- I haven't cried.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- You've not cried?- All right.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45When Trishna was fired, Nathan, she said, "No problem."
0:04:45 > 0:04:48It looked quite casual. How would you feel in that situation?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Er...I think I would've been a bit more...bit more rational.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53You know, like, if Lord Sugar went, "Nathan, you're fired,"
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I would have been like, "Yeah? Your mum's fired!"
0:04:56 > 0:04:58LAUGHTER
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Very cool. Very cool lady.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Thanks.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Courtney and Nebula had a jolly good knees-up while
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Grainne's Titans were left looking like a sticky pub carpet.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Let's see where it went wrong.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Who decided to make it coloured?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- We should look at maybe doing orange as the colour of the gin.- Yeah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- With the taste of the spices, it will fit really well.- Yeah.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19The colour of the liquid looks a bit like, you know,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21a Scottish soft drink.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24We wouldn't want to take away the colour - that is what the brand is all about.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26This colour cost them orders.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29If you don't think that what's going to happen is effective, tell her!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I just felt that that pitch didn't go very well because...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Why don't you tell her yourself?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I think the problems with the last pitch, we do need to learn...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- There's an absolute lack of structure.- What?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41She really created an atmosphere.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Trishna, bad moods, having the hump...that's not the calibre
0:05:46 > 0:05:49of person that I could work with.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Oooh! Bad moods, hump, atmosphere.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58On the morning of the second day, Grainne said you were in a honking mood, Karren said you were furious.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00What was the situation?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I just think I was...I went into day two feeling like we'd already lost,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and I just feel that that took an affect on my mood
0:06:07 > 0:06:10and I just felt that obviously the ingredients didn't go on the bottle
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and I just felt that the day didn't go well.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I wasn't sure whether you were frustrated with how things
0:06:16 > 0:06:22- were going or whether you were just hungover, to be honest. - Yeah. It just...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Was there a bit of that?- Maybe!
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Do you know, in the supermarket pitch, Frances said, "Oh, we can change the colour."
0:06:29 > 0:06:35- Then you said, "Oh, no, the colour is a key element of the brand. We're not changing that."- Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Did you think that was, in retrospect, perhaps the wrong thing to do,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- to contradict her like that? - I still don't think so.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44If you're going to go in with a product that you believe in, that you've created,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48you can't just go in to a pitch and say, "If you don't like that, we'll change it."
0:06:48 > 0:06:51But once she's already said that, can you then come back...
0:06:51 > 0:06:55But the other lady said, "If you're going to change the colour, what's your brand all about?"
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Which is right. What have you gone in there to pitch if you're just going to change everything?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02So maybe I was wrong, but I think that I still should have said that.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Frances, where do you stand on that one?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08You should've spent some time brainstorming what are the things they're likely to ask,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10how are we going to deal with it,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and probably more importantly,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- who is going to deal with those kind of questions.- Questions, yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17For me, that should have been Grainne.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20She's the PM, she should have stepped in and dealt with that.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23They were too busy, though, because they had to rehearse their Beyonce thing with...
0:07:23 > 0:07:28# Who runs the world? Girls. Who runs the world? Girls. #
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Talking of the pitches, Sara, did you enjoy, as I did,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35the wonderful comedy sketch of Frances trying to deliver
0:07:35 > 0:07:38a pitch while Trishna got...stormed around in the background?!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42It was like someone had pushed a drum kit down a flight of stairs.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And also, in a past series of The Apprentice,
0:07:45 > 0:07:50does anyone remember when someone was stabbing that microwave meal?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Like tok-tok-tok-tok-tok-tok-tok. Tok-tok-tok.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58And it was that similar thing, like, "Really, is this happening?!" It was brilliant.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It was like a one-man band in the background. What was going on back there?!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Cos I opened the ice box, ready to make the cocktail,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07which I had to make in time whilst Frances was delivering
0:08:07 > 0:08:10her part of the pitch and I opened it, and I'm not joking,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13it was like it was coated in duct tape.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The stuff was wrapped so much, I couldn't get it out!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I just couldn't get it out, and I was trying...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20By the time I got it out, she'd finished!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23You were like two men unloading a truck in the background.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I had such a small space as well, and then I just was trying
0:08:27 > 0:08:30to get it out, everything was falling, it was just a catastrophe.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, there can only be one winner of The Apprentice,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and tension has been mounting in the house over the last few weeks.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38As this bit of unseen footage shows, the candidates have been
0:08:38 > 0:08:42employing all sorts of mind games to freak each other out.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53LAUGHTER
0:08:53 > 0:08:55HE MUTTERS
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I mean, that clearly worked on Sofiane. He's gone!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Who was going to be next on your hit li... Was there a lot of pranks?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Cos we get a very serious side sometimes.- Yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Is there a lot of fun and games in the house?- Yeah, definitely.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I think the mood and everything came across on that task, but I'm not a moody person at all
0:09:15 > 0:09:17and I know how to have a laugh and in the house, yeah,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I was very much a sort of prankster and, yeah, made people laugh.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Right. We're going to talk about your product, the Colony Gin, the famous Colony Gin.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29This is it. Um... Why this colour?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I don't know. I don't really know about gin.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36If I knew, I probably wouldn't have done that, but I thought it'd make it a bit unique,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40stand out and I thought, "Let's make it a colour." It was a suggestion I gave to the project manager,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44"Shall we make it a colour?", and she said, "Yeah." So had she been like, "No," we would have been...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Grainne agreed.- Yeah, she said, "Let's do it."
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- I think the time you talked about getting the colour with the spices and the brand and sort of...- Yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55We thought there were going to be spices from different parts of the world and things like that,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and I thought it tied in quite well to make it a colour.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Frances, Trishna was, you know,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02fired in large part cos of the colour of this,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05but there's a lot of sense in what she's saying, isn't there, that you've got the spices,
0:10:05 > 0:10:10you've got...you know...why not have to follow through the brand with the colour? Why not?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I think there is.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15It's just such a horrible colour, which I hate,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and the other problem is they didn't really follow through.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22They talked about having an orange and brown label, as well.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I don't see any orange and brown on that label.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27And then I also hated the shape of the bottle, so...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- It's not great so far.- No!
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- Sara, you famously enjoyed a party...- Yes.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38..in times gone by.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43In my 20s, I used to take the odd dry sherry like Emily Bishop on Corrie.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I do like...- Would that have put you off, the colour?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You know what? I don't like the colour.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It reminds me a little bit of the water that...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53If you was to sluice down a spray-tan booth,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I think that would be the water that would be trickling away afterwards.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02OK, I've got the other product here. Courtney's team and his "giin".
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I found the whole thing a bit odd.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08The concept of it was...seemed to be this revolutionary new idea
0:11:08 > 0:11:11that it was...a drink that...a gin that you could drink...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I think Jessica said, "Literally with your friends."
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Yeah.- I was thinking, "Is that going to work, like, a social thing?"
0:11:17 > 0:11:19What? Hang on a minute. What, like...?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I can't see booze working in that environment.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24A gin you can have in the shed on your own, of course!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I use mine in the toilet cistern, drink at work at lunchtimes...
0:11:27 > 0:11:32A drink you could literally drink in a social...almost like a pub, really.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Can you see that happening?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Yeah, I never thought of that, so hang on a minute...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yeah, so you'd be together with your mates and somebody would,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I suppose, say, "Anybody want a drink?" and you'd all go, "Yeah!"
0:11:43 > 0:11:47It's new, out there... Have you ever heard of this, Nathan?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Could you imagine a drink taking off in that way in a social environment?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- No.- No. But you like the concept? - Yeah, I liked it.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I think I would have liked it if there were three "I"s, not just two.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Oh, yeah, but then it would've taken all day to pronounce.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It was long enough. "Would you like a giiiiiin?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08"What's that? Happy hour's finished? Oh, bugger!"
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Get that out the way for the moment.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12In hindsight, given that they ended up with
0:12:12 > 0:12:15a map of Africa when they were talking about India,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19and a slightly controversial brand based on the Colonies,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Nathan, was it a mistake to let Frances do the branding on her own?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25She said she got an A-star in Geography, apparently.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29INAUDIBLE
0:12:30 > 0:12:33It's also the name, as well, it's like,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35who was the target audience with that name, Colony?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Cos I can't imagine me and my West Indian family going like,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40"Hey, guys, let's have some Colony."
0:12:41 > 0:12:44No, I can't imagine you, either.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- This bloke that went round getting these spices from "afar"...- Yeah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Was meant to be, like, India, Africa.- Yeah.- But...- Africa, mainly, by the look of it.- Yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Also, it's weird, cos Frances is so young, so the minute she went,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05"Colony Gin" it was weird cos you'd expect, like,
0:13:05 > 0:13:11a 90-year-old Tory peer to go, "Colony Gin. The good old days."
0:13:11 > 0:13:13She's so young, and where did that come from?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16It was quite an odd brand for young people to come up with.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- I think the whole thing was very odd, frankly, yeah!- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20It does stand out.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I mean, it would stand out on the shelf and you might go,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- "Ooh, what's that?" But I'm not sure you're going to want to drink it. - Yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29There were just six hardy souls left going into this week's task,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32but Frances found herself up against her foe,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35more formidable than any Apprentice candidate.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I can honestly put my hands up and say I've tried a lot of gin.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Oh!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I'm going to try my team, see if we can hear from them.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51'This is the Vodafone voice...'
0:13:51 > 0:13:53PHONE CUTS OUT
0:13:53 > 0:13:55That's quite nice, isn't it?
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- 'This is the Vodaf...' - Why does my team ignore me?
0:14:01 > 0:14:07- Oh. That makes you...- No-one's answering my calls whatsoever.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Really tastes like...- So nice!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12'This is the Vodafone...'
0:14:12 > 0:14:15No-one's really listening to me today and it's actually starting to really piss me off.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Can I get a Colony Spice, please? - Make that two.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So there's five minutes going till the deadline,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24God knows what they are doing.
0:14:24 > 0:14:2519 missed calls?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Let's talk about the product itself, then.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I'll have a Colony Gin, please. I'm going to give it a little whirl.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I've seen how you do gin tasting.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I've watched you and Grainne, the experts.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Ah. It is spicy. Oh, they're from afar, aren't they, the spices?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Oh, definitely... Don't worry! Stop writing.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Put your pens down, Tunbridge Wells. We swapped the bottles.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00That is a fizzy Scottish soft drink.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Although it has gone to my head a bit, I'll level with you.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Why didn't you spit it out when you were trying it? The other team...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I don't know if you noticed...
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Yeah, I just felt like, unless I swallowed it,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I wasn't going to know how strong it was.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I just thought I'd have to... LAUGHTER
0:15:14 > 0:15:16..I'd have to try it. How am I going to know?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19There's sort of logic in there somewhere, isn't there?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20APPLAUSE
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I think I forgot to swap the bottles.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Did you not realise that drinking truckloads of gin would affect
0:15:27 > 0:15:29your ability to do the job?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Uh, well, obviously, at the time, no, but looking back on it,
0:15:33 > 0:15:34I shouldn't have.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I bet my dad's really upset about this.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Dad, are you upset?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- VOICE FROM AUDIENCE:- No. - No!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45But I shouldn't have, I should have been more professional
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and not done that, but what can I do? I done it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Yeah. "What can I do? I done it."
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Spiced gin, Nathan, is that your tipple?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Actually, I used to be a massive gin drinker.- Did you?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Then I had a really bad experience, so I stopped.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Basically, I watched the episode.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06That's it, no more gin now.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, Trishna may not have been firing on all cylinders this week,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12but Karren picked up the slack,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15firing on all her own cylinders, and a few more besides.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18SINGING:
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I don't know about gins. I'm completely...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I don't drink gin, I don't know about gin,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- OK? I try to just come up with suggestions.- You drank enough of it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35LAUGHTER
0:16:41 > 0:16:44So, we are down to the final five.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Let's talk about some of the other candidates quickly. Jessica?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Yeah, I love Jessica, I think she's amazing.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I think she can definitely brighten up a room, she's just got
0:16:52 > 0:16:56so much positivity, she lifts morale and I think she's a real contender.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Could you see her winning, Frances?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Yeah, absolutely, she's in my top three.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I think she's very strong.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I think she needs to be quite careful in the interviews to listen
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and perhaps speak a little bit more cohesively,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12but I love her personality,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15her positivity and I think she has some great ideas.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Jessica, Sara, do you think she's a contender?- I do like her.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I think she's like a very beautiful cross between
0:17:23 > 0:17:26a labradoodle and Su Pollard,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28because I just think she's quite excitable.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm sure she'll take that as a massive compliment.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Su Pollardoodle.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37But I think she's really likeable and I think she is very warm.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40People seem to sort of like her, but I just...
0:17:40 > 0:17:45I can't see her with Lord Suges coping
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- with her exuberance. - Yeah, is she too exuberant?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Does she wear her heart on her sleeve too much?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Yeah, I think perhaps she does a little bit
0:17:52 > 0:17:54and I don't know how long you'd be able to cope with that for.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I think she could win just from exhausting Lord Sugar.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03"OK, you're hired, just stop talking. Oh, gosh!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- "Please!"- Just wear him down, you think?- Exactly.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10OK. Frances didn't have a great week, again.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12How do you rate Frances?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Um, I think out of all the other candidates,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16she's probably the most calculated.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I think that she's really worked out how to kind of not be
0:18:18 > 0:18:22in the bottom three, she plays to the project manager a lot on tasks.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26She's lost eight times out of ten, I think,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28but only ended up in the bottom three very few times.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Yeah, and I think that's because she knows what she's doing a little bit
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and she kind of plays up to the project manager
0:18:34 > 0:18:36to makes sure she doesn't go back in there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38That's why I had to call her up on it on this task,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I just thought she'd done it too much.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Frances, do you think our Frances is in with a chance?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Um, I think she is. She's quite a good all-rounder.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49She's quite creative, she presents well,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52and she does have some pretty smart business ideas.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Nathan, her stats are the worst of anybody in terms of wins and losses.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Do you still think she can win?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02She's probably got a one-in-five chance.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- That's an accurate stat. - Yeah!- I don't know.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I mean, I agree with you, she does play the game quite well,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13but I do think there are stronger candidates there, so I think...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- I can't see her winning. - Sara, can you see Frances winning?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The first couple of episodes, I thought, "She's out quick."
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's like when you watch a disaster movie and you think,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24"Yeah, she's dead, he's dead, she's going to fall off a building.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26"She'll fall down the earthquake," or whatever.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29You think, "They're all gone," and she's clung on, she's still here.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Courtney's the last guy in, Nathan.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Oh, he's a cool guy, he's a nice guy, but when he does his pitching,
0:19:37 > 0:19:38it's like, "Switch off, man."
0:19:38 > 0:19:42He seems to bring the same energy in front of 300 people,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45he's exactly the same as if he was making a cup of tea
0:19:45 > 0:19:46in his pants at home.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- There's just no difference, he's got one gear, it seems.- Exactly.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53But then what made it worse in this week's task is that you had Courtney
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and you had Jessica doing the same pitch, so you had two extremes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58You've got Courtney, who's going, "Yeah, uh...uh..."
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and you've Jessica kind of just like MCs her way through the pitch.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04RAPIDLY: "Da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-da-ba-da-ba."
0:20:04 > 0:20:06HE CONTINUES GABBERING RAPIDLY
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, girl.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Courtney has led his team to victory again this week.- Yes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16He's won I think eight, am I right in saying?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I think it's unbelievable that he's done so well.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19I mean, he's a nice guy.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I can't help think of him as a member of a boyband.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I think he's kind of run away from a boyband
0:20:24 > 0:20:26and found himself on The Apprentice.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28There was bits this week where he went...
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- IN CHILDLIKE VOICE: - "They like the taste of the gin."
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Then he was going, "I want to buy a heli-fopter,"
0:20:34 > 0:20:37at the end, and it's like he's regressing,
0:20:37 > 0:20:38he's like a four-year-old.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41It's like Benjamin Button, he's getting younger each week.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Frances, very quickly, Courtney,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- can you sum him up?- I'm sure he's a nice guy and he's quite funny.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- But if he's to... - LAUGHTER
0:20:50 > 0:20:53You know, business, you don't have to be good at everything,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56but what you do have to do is recognise what your weaknesses are
0:20:56 > 0:20:57and mitigate them.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Don't keep putting yourself up to present.- Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01What about Alana?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I think she's really good. I think that she's been underestimated.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I think she had a tough first few weeks, but as it's gone on,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11she's really come into her own and she's not been scared
0:21:11 > 0:21:13to say how she feels, she's provided opinions
0:21:13 > 0:21:15and I think she's a real, real contender.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18She's stood up for herself and been very composed under
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- a lot of pressure, I thought.- Yeah, I think she can be really composed.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22I think, when she's pitching,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26she's really engaging, she's super-relaxed.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28When Courtney couldn't get the board up and he's giving it
0:21:28 > 0:21:31a touch of the Chuckle Brothers in the background and all that
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- and she was like, "Why don't we just pop this on here?"- Yeah.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You instantly relax and you instantly take on what she says
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and the same in the boardroom. I think she's really calm
0:21:39 > 0:21:41and she's got a really nice way about her.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I think she does sometimes have a touch of the Princess Diana's,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46with the under-the-fringe sort of look up kind of thing
0:21:46 > 0:21:47that she does quite a lot.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49She does that kind of coy thing, which I find a bit strange.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51She did step in at the right moment and relax the situation.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53She sees things, what's going on.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57She got very excited this week when she went, "Final five, final five!"
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Can she win? - Definitely, most definitely.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I think she is definitely one of the strongest in there.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03She's got so much to give
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and I think that she's started to show that
0:22:05 > 0:22:07as we went past the first few weeks, so, yeah,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I definitely think she can win.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Is she too meek, Frances, to be Lord Sugar's business partner?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Uh, I don't think so, no.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20I was really heartened this week to see her be a bit more assertive.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23She made a pretty passionate pitch for wanting to be PM.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I know she lost out to Courtney,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27but that was really a function of Jessica
0:22:27 > 0:22:28having worked with him before
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and having more confidence in him and sometimes
0:22:31 > 0:22:35in business it goes that way, but I think she's really smart,
0:22:35 > 0:22:40I think she's engaging, I think she has a smart brain on her
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and I'd like to see her in the final for sure.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, Trishna, unfortunately,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48somebody who won't be in the final...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- is you.- Yeah, cheers, Rhod(!)
0:22:52 > 0:22:55That's one thing we do know - Lord Sugar won't, unfortunately,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58be investing in you, but he does have this advice for your future.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Trishna - a very bright young lady.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05I picked that up because she seems to absorb things very well.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Very good memory.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I think Trishna went wrong in this particular task as they actually
0:23:11 > 0:23:15coloured the gin orange and I think it's certainly affected
0:23:15 > 0:23:17the level of orders for the product.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21My advice to Trishna is get a little bit more technical
0:23:21 > 0:23:25in the business that she's doing and become a recognised expert at it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Become a recognised expert?- Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34You're going to be recognised now, anyway.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36No, I think that's fair.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I definitely will be an expert in my field.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I already am, but I hold information really well.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43LAUGHTER
0:23:43 > 0:23:44"If I say so myself."
0:23:46 > 0:23:48What's your business plan? What would you have done?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It was to set up a specialist IT recruitment business,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54something that I'm obviously really experienced in already and, yeah,
0:23:54 > 0:23:55I still plan to do that, so watch this space.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well, Trishna, Lord Sugar made his decision,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01but does our panel feel it was the right one? Frances.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Um, I think it's unfortunate.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06You definitely weren't firing on all cylinders tonight, so I do,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10but I'm surprised that Grainne wasn't hot on your heels
0:24:10 > 0:24:11going out the door, as well.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I think the orange was your undoing, which is a real shame,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18cos I really, really like you, so with regret, yes,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20it was right that you were fired.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Nathan.- I think you've been one of the strongest candidates
0:24:24 > 0:24:27throughout the whole process, so I would have fired Grainne instead.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28TRISHNA: Thanks. Thanks, Nathan.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, that's what the panel thinks of it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Let's see what the audience make of everything.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38If you agree with Lord Sugar, then hold up "Fired" now,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and if you disagree, then hold up "Hired", please.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44That's definitely more "Hired".
0:24:44 > 0:24:46LAUGHTER
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Waay! Back in your box now.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Ladies and gentlemen, Trishna, you are hired!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Cheers. CHEERING
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I mean, you're not, obviously, you're fired,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57but, you know...
0:24:57 > 0:24:58you're not.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Definitely hired from the audience,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04but, unfortunately, it was a red "Fired" from Lord Sugar.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06But no-one leaves here, Trishna, empty-handed.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I've got you a rather wonderful gift.
0:25:08 > 0:25:1019 missed calls.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well, never miss a phone call again, Trishna,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16with this Apprentice answering machine.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Beautiful, it's got your face on there, it's got Apprentice.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Listen, there's one thing this needs, obviously,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24before I give you it. This will need a message.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm going to record it for you
0:25:27 > 0:25:29so that it comes ready-loaded. Here we go...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- BEEP - This is Rhod Gilbert.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I'm afraid Trishna can't come to the phone right now.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37She's getting bladdered on Colony Gin.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Don't bother leaving a message, she's ignored 19 already. Goodbye!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Thank you, thank you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Never miss a phone call again.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52You're looking on the back to see if there's anything else - that's it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54"There must be something else on the back,
