0:00:02 > 0:00:04Useless. Totally, absolutely useless.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08I feel so angry. I can't put up with loose cannons.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09You're fired.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Good evening. Good evening and welcome to You're Fired.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30I'm Rhod Gilbert.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32In this week's task, the final five candidates competing
0:00:32 > 0:00:35for a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar
0:00:35 > 0:00:39were put through their paces by his most trusted advisors -
0:00:39 > 0:00:41a gruelling Bear Grylls survival exercise,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43complete with business plans.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46And Alana learnt that the way to a man's heart might be through
0:00:46 > 0:00:48his stomach, but it only works if that man has a heart.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50LAUGHTER
0:00:52 > 0:00:53What's that?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I thought, as my business is in cake manufacturing,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- I would let you have some of them to try.- Right. We'll leave that there.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Can you just sit back a bit?
0:01:02 > 0:01:03With three candidates to meet,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05there's no time for The Apprentice News this week.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So as they say in business, let's crack on.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09As usual, we have our panel,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12ready to pick up where Lord Sugar's aides left off.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Apprentice winner 2012
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and my sister's favourite Latin pop star Ricky Martin,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18presenter and Apprentice fan Matt Edmondson,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19and comedian Sara Pascoe.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31So, the first of our three candidates to walk through
0:01:31 > 0:01:35the famous frosted glass doors of The Apprentice boardroom
0:01:35 > 0:01:38for the very last time was make-up artist Grainne.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Grainne, I'm going to be honest with you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- I just can't see this.- That's OK.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47It's been nice to be associated with you, but it is,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- with regret, that you're fired. - Thank you so much.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I really appreciate everything.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53- WHISPERS:- Best of luck, all of yous.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Please welcome Grainne McCoy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- How are you?- Welcome.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Ha! When you applied, did you think you'd get to the final five?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20No, I'm shocked and privileged to be sitting here now.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23You know, when I got it, made it through all them people
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and then through the ten tasks, and now I'm in the final five.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Yeah.- Well, was.- Were? - Yeah.- You are.- Yeah.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30You can say, "I'm in the final five.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- "I was the final five." - I'm in the final five.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- "I was part of the final five." - Thank you very much.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36It's all hopeless, you haven't won. LAUGHTER
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Hold on.- You can say whatever you want.- My mother still thinks I did.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Oh, was that your mother we spoke to before the show?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45One person shouted out, "Grainne is going to win!"
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Bless her.- Thanks, Mum.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I have to say that when you got fired
0:02:49 > 0:02:52is the happiest I've seen you look all series.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I know, people said I don't smile. I actually do, but...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Not that much normally.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59That was you looking extremely happy when you got fired there.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I smiled a lot.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Obviously, I felt that it was the right choice
0:03:04 > 0:03:06for Lord Sugar to fire me first, because, my God, I went in
0:03:06 > 0:03:08and changed my whole business plan in front of him.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- So it wasn't a surprise? - No, it wasn't a shock to me, like,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- I knew I was out the door. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Ricky, you've been through this process, what is it like?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It is a hell of a lot harder than I think anyone has any idea. It's...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23You've got ten weeks' worth of getting absolutely battered
0:03:23 > 0:03:25week after week, and you want to give it your A-game,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27but you're probably on your Z-game.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29So it's really hard. So, anyone even to get there has done well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- So, well done.- Thank you very much.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Mark, when Grainne was questioned about her previous business stuff
0:03:35 > 0:03:36and her business plan, she said...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think the words you used were, "I've been spendy happy."
0:03:39 > 0:03:42If you're getting £250,000 from Lord Sugar,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44he probably doesn't want you to be spendy happy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46That will make him spendy unhappy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48If you won... If you won that money, I mean,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51you could go out and buy an expensive tailored suit
0:03:51 > 0:03:53or, like, a natty polka-dot tie,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56but I think he would really frown upon that one, really.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Yeah, well, do you know what? He loves the tie.- OK.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Well, one long day,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04five nervous candidates and four terrifying face-to-face
0:04:04 > 0:04:07interviews that make Jeremy Paxman look like Barry Chuckle.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Let's see where it all went wrong for Grainne.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Grainne, I'm a little bit confused about your idea.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- You want to be an agency for beauty counter staff.- Yeah.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- You want to be an agency for make-up artists.- OK.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21You want to run a physical and online store.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's just too much in one go.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26So she is maybe shooting too high there?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I am half qualified...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- You're not even qualified yet?- Nope.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Not certified yet.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Sounds like I might need certifying
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to actually invest in this, then.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- You said those interviews are worse than childbirth.- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Mike, Linda and Claudine are in our audience.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Mike, contractions times 20 worse than childbirth?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I guess that's a fair enough analogy.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50You're going to take that comment?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Linda, Grainne's business plan,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55where...an online and retail store,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58you want to be the managing director, be the brand,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00do all the training, do all the make-up yourself.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Do it all.- You are going to clean. - I was going to take over the world.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Did you think she tried to take on too much there?- Yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11I think her problem was there was four or five parts to Grainne's
0:05:11 > 0:05:13proposed business with Lord Sugar,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16but she had no experience in any of them, bar one.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I think that was her downfall.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Yeah.- I agree.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22LAUGHTER
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- I totally agree. - I'm glad you said that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26I wasn't sure where to take it.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30One of the more memorable moments was the gin task.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Yeah.- Where...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I don't know quite how to put it. How would you put it diplomatically?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Drunk.- Drunk, in fact.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I was going to say you tested the product very robustly,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42you took a long time getting the spicing just right, but, no,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think drunk... Bladdered, you got bladdered.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I think it was the scent in the distillery,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- it wasn't the actual sipping.- Yeah. It could've been that.- Could've.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Let's go with that one.- Yeah, let's go with that.- No, it wasn't.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Was that very unprofessional, or do you think that was...?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- No, I thought it was very professional.- Thank you.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57What is rude is to spit.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00We would do wine tasting, and they're spitting all over the place.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02And it's food waste, in this day and age...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I thought it was incredibly professional of them.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06See, I've never heard of anyone spitting out alcohol.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09LAUGHTER
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Tell me about the aquarium,
0:06:11 > 0:06:16where you did very well selling the tickets for the real-life mermaid.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Well, I told everybody that this woman could hold her breath,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22she was like some sort of, like...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Well, you told them she was Man From Atlantis.- She was!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I've got a little bit of a surprise for you tonight
0:06:26 > 0:06:28because she... In fact, her name is Grace.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- The mermaid from that very task is sitting...- Hi!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Hi, Grace.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41There did seem to be a little bit of confusion, Grace.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Do you A - immerse yourself in a tank for several minutes
0:06:45 > 0:06:47in an incredible feat of human...?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Or do you B - sit around in a sleeping bag singing?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- SHE LAUGHS - Well, both.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57I am a qualified free diver, so that is part of my main act,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01and I do normally do that, we just couldn't on this particular episode.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Every aquarium and tank, you have certain tests you have to do.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Which are?- To make sure that the shark doesn't eat you.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Oh, there were sharks in there?! - Yeah, there were sharks in there.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And you've got to make sure you're not going to ruin the environment
0:07:13 > 0:07:15and that they're not going to be surprised.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Listen, once you said sharks, that's enough.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Job done. I take it all back, I'm really sorry.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21I don't want to say I told you so.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I'm really sorry.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I said you were a woman in a sleeping bag, I feel a fool.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- I'm sorry. - It's a very expensive sleeping bag.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Ladies and gentlemen, Grace, the mermaid. Congratulations.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Well, aren't I the fool?!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Anyway, Grainne, unfortunately, Lord Sugar didn't put you in the
0:07:39 > 0:07:42final two, but he does have this advice for your future.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Grainne, bright girl.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Only spoke when she needed to.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And when she did speak, she spoke common sense.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I found Grainne very calm, collected.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55She adapted to every task that I set
0:07:55 > 0:07:57and tried to work very, very hard.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59A great team player.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01The problem with Grainne's business plan
0:08:01 > 0:08:04was she was trying to do too many things,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08and it was a bit confusing as to what the real business was,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12and that's why I think she needs to concentrate solely on one thing
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and hone in on that.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Concentrate a bit, hone in on one thing and do that.- Yeah, he's right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22And, you know, I'm chuffed with the words that he said cos
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I know I worked very hard through every task,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26so I'm very happy with that, yeah.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Well, he decided, you agree with him,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30let's see what the panel thinks. Ricky.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31I think you're a standout candidate,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34but your business plan wasn't worth a quarter of a million pounds.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- So, it was the right decision.- Mark.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37You have been one of my favourites to watch,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39but I have to agree with Lord Sugar.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- That's all right, I agree too. - It was time for you to go.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I completely disagree. I think you're brilliant.- Oh, thank you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Really brilliant. Well done.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It's time to find out what the audience think.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "Fired".- (Green.)
0:08:53 > 0:08:56If you disagree, hold up "Hired" now, please.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I'm going to have to have help from the Eye in the Sky.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm going to have to name a blush shade for that red.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03It's red.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- AUDIENCE:- Aw! - It is red, I'm afraid.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Don't say "aw" now, you voted for it!- It's all right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, Grainne, unfortunately, Lord Sugar didn't choose you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13But nobody goes away from here empty-handed.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17It did seem as though you were a little bit too ambitious.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20In your company, you needed to wear too many hats -
0:09:20 > 0:09:22managing director to training to online and off-line...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Is this going to ruin my hair?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Well, we just thought you needed to wear a lot of hats
0:09:27 > 0:09:30to do everything in your business from top to bottom,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- so we thought we would get you one hat.- Aw!
0:09:33 > 0:09:34With a duster.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37That's the duster. This is one hat.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Oh, that's the calculator for your finance department.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42You've got your mobile phone when you're out and about.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44There's a make-up brush for doing your own make-up.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47This is a torch. A torch and walkie-talkie there. There we go.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Oh, it works.- That is one hat. - Should I tried on?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- I presume you do your own cleaning. Can I move your sandwich?- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54LAUGHTER
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Sorry.- How's that?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Spin it round?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Grainne, thanks for being on the show.- Thank you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04You've been a good sport.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Let's have a look at your highlights.- Thank you.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- # Who runs the world? - ALL:- Girls! #
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Oh, sorry. Are you interested?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Do you want to come up?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16If he doesn't want to listen to me, fine, let's lose.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Awkward!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20She's so genuine. She's strong, she's driven.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yeah, she's lovely.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24# All night long... #
0:10:24 > 0:10:27We've had probably the most heart-warming moments together,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29the most hilarious moments together.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32She just is brilliant.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33That was amazing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34That's interesting.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36That's, um, a bit of a shock.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38You did it! Well done.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Ladies and gentlemen, Grainne McCoy.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Well, hot on Grainne's heels,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51the second candidate to pack up their troubles
0:10:51 > 0:10:53in their little flight case
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and make their way calmly to the emergency exit was Jessica.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Jessica, I think you've got great sales ability,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03but it's a very, very risky idea.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Jessica, it is with regret that you're fired.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Thank you so much. It's been absolutely incredible.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10- WHISPERS:- Good luck, everyone.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Please welcome Jessica Cunningham.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Ah!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Rah!
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I won't kiss you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- How do you feel?- Oh, I'm gutted. I'm properly gutted.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39I thought I was going to win it!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42LAUGHTER There must be a bit of you
0:11:42 > 0:11:45that's really chuffed to get this far, though, as well.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yeah, but I think when you enter The Apprentice,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50you enter because you want to win Lord Sugar as a business partner
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and £250,000, so for me, the final five is amazing,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55but I was there to win it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I used to imagine Lord Sugar ringing me and being like,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59"You've won, Jessica," every morning.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01No, I did, it was like...
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- It did look pretty brutal. You said, "It ripped me to shreds."- Oh, God.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I felt physically sick after Linda just tore into me. Sorry, Linda.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Yeah, which, like...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15"You're right, I'm failing in life. This is not good."
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- AUDIENCE:- Aw! - Linda!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- "Failing in life" you made Jessica feel.- I never said that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I changed it round, don't worry.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Ricky, it is obviously an incredibly tough process,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27did you get a sense that Jessica didn't quite know her stuff
0:12:27 > 0:12:28as well as she might?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I was so disappointed for you at that point, because up until then,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- you'd been such a good candidate. - Oh, thank you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35And it's almost like you crumbled in the interviews
0:12:35 > 0:12:37and your business plan just fell apart.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Cos I think if you articulated better, you had a great chance.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Sara, how would you get on in there, do you think?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Oh, I couldn't.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I couldn't. It'd break my heart. I'm a baby. I'm too much of a wuss,
0:12:47 > 0:12:48and they're horribly mean.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Why are you being so mean? - Oh, we're not being mean at all.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54The most important thing to remember here is Lord Sugar
0:12:54 > 0:12:58has £250,000 at stake here,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01and our job is to make sure that the people
0:13:01 > 0:13:03that get through really do deserve it,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04so I think you are there to be...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07to have to answer the really tough questions.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- And, in some cases, you just crumbled.- Yeah.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Sometimes, when people ask me a question,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14if I get a bit panicky or worked up, I do waffle,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17and then I forget what they're asking me, and then I get worked up.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah. - I hadn't noticed that about you(!)
0:13:20 > 0:13:21LAUGHTER
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- It's not something that came across at all.- I hide it well.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Well, Jessica's plans for a brand with dresses, T-shirts,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30jeans and jackets were all ripped to shreds.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Let's see why she was the second candidate this week
0:13:32 > 0:13:34to fetch her coat and leave.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I'm confident in my ability
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and I know what I'm talking about.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Fingers crossed.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42One of your biggest costs - £10,000 per month,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44the so-called celebrities, whatever they are.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Don't you think that is a bit of a risk?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- ..used at my previous business. - But that business didn't work.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's high risk and I think you could easily lose your money
0:13:51 > 0:13:53very, very quickly.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54So, you made a loss,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55you don't know how much loss.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57If you had money in the bank, it dwindled.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Do you know what you're talking about?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- No, I don't think I do, actually. - No, that's what I think.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Claudine, what was good about Jessica's business plan?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well, she understands the power of social media,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16but I have to say that probably the biggest asset Jessica has
0:14:16 > 0:14:21is her herself, because she's so vivacious and tenacious,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and she's just a really engaging person.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Like, I think she's just going to be successful...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Oh, thank you.- ..as a person.- Oh!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, in such a long, difficult process,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33the candidates can get a little tired,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35and in this bit of unseen footage, it's clearly on the gin -
0:14:35 > 0:14:39sorry, "zhin" - task that Jessica started to crack.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49So, erm, yeah, just tell me - what do you like about it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- HIGHER VOICE:- I think it tastes really, really great.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'd definitely buy into this. The raspberry essence is wonderful.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- NORMAL VOICE:- Fantastic, OK.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00What would you rate this out of ten?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- HIGHER VOICE:- 12. - NORMAL VOICE:- Goodness!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07What would you drink this with?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08- HIGHER VOICE:- A friend.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- NORMAL VOICE:- Oh! I was thinking about a tonic, but that'll do.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Oh, I think- I- need a friend.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17APPLAUSE
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Completely lost it. Totally lost the plot.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- HIGHER VOICE:- I don't know what you mean, Rhod.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- NORMAL VOICE:- I don't know what he's on about either!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31The business you wanted to set up with Lord Sugar...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Lust And Lies was the name. - Yes.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37There's been quite a few times where you've bent the truth a little bit.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Yeah. - Ricky, where do you stand on this?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Where do you stand on sort of, you know,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43embellishing the truth when you're in sales?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- I kind of get where you're coming from...- Yep.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47..but I always say "people buy from people,"
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and you've got such a great personality,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and I've backed you all the way, as well.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52- Oh, thank you. - Such a good personality.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54If you'd just used that, you'd have got a sale,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57but to put a massive blag out there and expect someone to go with it,
0:15:57 > 0:15:58is where it fell down there.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Sara, have you ever bent the truth to get what you wanted?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Yeah, I'm a fibber.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Like, if I'm trying to seduce someone,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I'll kind of pretend I haven't got a boyfriend.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10LAUGHTER
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Little lies! There's no harm in it! - Not important things(!)- No.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Not important things, if you're watching.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Not important things, boyfriend. Erm...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- So close, very close... - Yeah.- ..yet very far.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24No investment from Lord Sugar, but he does have this advice for you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Jessica was very enthusiastic, good at sales,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32and got on quite well with the people around her.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Jessica's business plan, when you dived into it,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I don't think she'd really covered all aspects of the things
0:16:39 > 0:16:41that have to be done to make it work.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'm sure she doesn't need me to tell her this,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47but she just basically does need to take a deep breath,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49think through what you've got to say first of all.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I think, if she does that,
0:16:51 > 0:16:56together with enhancing her own business, she'll do quite well.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Advice you can use?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Definitely. No, yeah, to be fair, he hit the nail on the head. Erm...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I would just get so nervous, and then I just used to waffle.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09But, Lord Sugar made his decision -
0:17:09 > 0:17:11but does our panel think it's the right one?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Ricky?- Based on that business plan, it was the right decision.- Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15- Matt? - I'm sad to see you go.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I think you're one of the best Apprentice candidates of all time...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Oh, my God! Thank you! - ..but, I think, on this occasion,
0:17:20 > 0:17:21right decision.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I disagree. I think you'll be able to buy these people one day.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28You're my new PF - personal fave.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32So, it's time to find out what our audience thinks.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "Fired".
0:17:34 > 0:17:37If you disagree, hold up "Hired," now, please.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- That's tight. That is close. - It's definitely hired, Rhod.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I think you might be right. I think you might be...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I like the way you wore a suggestive green dress,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49to try and subliminally project your messages.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- It is green! The dress worked, ladies and gentlemen.- Woohoo!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- I love you all! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:17:57 > 0:17:58They disagree with Lord Sugar.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Jessica, thanks for coming on the show.- Oh, thank you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03You've been a wonderful sport, and a fantastic candidate to watch,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07People say I'm like the female version of Jim Carrey.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I believe it's cos I'm quite animated with my face,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and a bit crazy with my hands.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Wah! Action! Hello!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Whoa!
0:18:16 > 0:18:18That looks ridiculous.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Whoa!
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Jessica is the biggest bundle of energy I have ever met
0:18:24 > 0:18:27in my life, and my God, she's lovely.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29High five me now, honey!
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Jessica - an absolute bundle of joy to be around.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Whoo!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35She is an amazing woman.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Choose your concept, then we'll think of the ideas around.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42I can see you eyeing them up! Use your common sense. Ooh, OK.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Hello!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Jessica, unfortunately, Lord Sugar didn't put you through
0:18:51 > 0:18:54to the final two, but nobody goes away from here empty-handed.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56We have got for you... Very early in this process,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59you established yourself as a master of physical comedy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The world knows and loves you as the female Jim Carrey.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Oh, I'm dreading this!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Your signature joke from that very first episode
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- was the fantastic fake vase drop. - Oh, yes!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14And we thought we would get you something that allows you
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- to do your very own fake vase drop, wherever...- Oh, thanks.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Whoa! - Whoa!
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Whoa! Oh, shit!
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Oh, I'm gutted!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'll treasure it forever.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39We'll bag that up and have it sent on to a forwarding address.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Oh, thanks.- Ladies and gentlemen, Jessica Cunningham.- Oh, thank you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45APPLAUSE
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Well, with Grainne and Jessica gone,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53there were just three candidates left,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56and only two seats booked in Lord Sugar's limo to final city,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00and it was poor Frances who headed off home in a black cab.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Frances, this idea is not scalable. I want a big business.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I wish you the best of luck, but I'm not going to be investing in you.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- You're fired.- Thank you. Good luck, guys. All the best.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Please welcome Frances Bishop. APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- So, first question always - how are you feeling now?- Pretty good, yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- I'm OK, I'm over it. I'm all right.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39- You're over it? - Yeah, I'm over it. I'm over it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42You said in the taxi you have a bright f... What was it you said?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44"A bright, brilliant future"?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Yeah. I mean...- You still feeling chipper?- Yeah! I, you know...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Lord Sugar even said himself I've got a good business,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52and that was known throughout the process.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55And I love my business, and I love what I do,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and I can't wait to get started.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Yeah. Oh, well, crack on. - Yeah, get on.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Er, well, ex-karate champion Frances
0:21:03 > 0:21:06was the third and final candidate to get the chop this week,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08so let's see how it happened.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You put in your application that you're really disorganised,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and your filing is in your handbag.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16So, I previously had a business partner.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18She did the accounts and the figure side.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Good. Well, I can see you miss her.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Your business plan says you've got two stores. You actually had three.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29This business plan is trying to pretend that the mistakes
0:21:29 > 0:21:31that you've made, they don't matter.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Well, they do matter.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Matt, did Frances sell herself...?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You seem very honest at times,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38forgive me, but you were sort of, "Oh, I'm horrific at figures,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41"I'm totally disorganised, all my filing's in my handbag" -
0:21:41 > 0:21:44was that the most sensible thing to do, or was it...?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Well, I don't know. I think you're possibly too nice, Frances.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47- That's the thing.- Aw!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49You're too nice, you're too honest about these things.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The whole point of The Apprentice is you're meant to go on and say
0:21:52 > 0:21:54that you're going to be a billion dollar unicorn, you know?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Yeah, yeah.- Which is obviously the carpet standpoint.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I think to go on and say, "I'm human, I've made mistakes" -
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I find that endearing, and that makes you seem trustworthy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04But, I guess in a situation where you're trying to fight
0:22:04 > 0:22:07against all those other people, who aren't taking that approach,
0:22:07 > 0:22:08it's a little bit difficult.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Sara, what's your CV like?- Oh!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Does it lean to the over-honest, or the over-embellished?
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I think maybe, similarly to Frances, my CV does have the truth on it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Like, it does have all the places I have worked,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23but also I'm always hoping that they do not ring any of those places,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24and find out why they fired me.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Over to our interviewers - Linda, Frances said, and I quote,
0:22:31 > 0:22:32"They tore me a new one".
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- Was that the intention?- Not at all, I think I was very kind to Frances.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41LAUGHTER
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Love you, Linda. Now.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Let's look back at the process.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Matt, on the virtual reality task,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Frances had a real problem with suspending disbelief.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I mean, we can see it here. There were certain elements of it...
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I mean, we were dealing with a virtual reality,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57we were in space, we were badgers.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Frances was fine with most things,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00but seemed to have a problem with one thing.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03The branding is frankly pathetic.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06What planet are they on? I mean, he's got a bloody quiff.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08The badger's got a quiff! It's just embarrassing.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11It's utterly embarrassing.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- I was very angry, wasn't I? - I know!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The one big problem you had was the badger's hairdo. I couldn't quite...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Would it have been all right if he'd had a centre parting?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Was it...? - Yeah, I mean, I draw the line...
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Or a Rachel, would that have been all right?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23No, I just drew the line at a quiff.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I just think that you were in a bad mood about that badger,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28because it seemed like Courtney and Jessica had just gone off,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31had a lovely time, gone, "What's the craziest thing we can think of?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34"A badger in space. That'll do, let's have the afternoon off."
0:23:34 > 0:23:37And, actually, it was a good idea, as everyone said, in the end.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39You've got to get on board with that quiff now, surely.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yeah, I'm going to have to.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I mean, you know, I won a task, so I have to get on board with it,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47cos I actually did win one, finally.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Well, Frances, unfortunately Lord Sugar won't be investing in you,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- as you know.- No.- But he does have this advice for your future.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Frances started her own business, and she had multiple shops,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02actually, and employed people already,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and I think that is very commendable.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Frances needs to stick to what she knows.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I think she needs to scale it up a bit.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13She's got a great concept there, very determined young lady,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15and I know that she will succeed
0:24:15 > 0:24:20if she focuses primarily on building her business up.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Focus on scaling it up. Is that the plan?- Yeah. Erm...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Next year, I want to open an additional two more shops,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32and then get a warehouse, and...
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Yeah, smash it!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Big plans. Smash it! - Yeah, smash it!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Well, Frances, Lord Sugar made his decision,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40but does our panel think it was the right one? Ricky?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'd LIKE to disagree.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I actually think that the investment wasn't right for you
0:24:44 > 0:24:47and your business proposition, either, so based upon that fact,
0:24:47 > 0:24:48it was the right decision.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Matt? - Despite losing most of the tasks,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54you have been incredibly consistent, and I think...
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- LAUGHTER - No, no, but I mean as...
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Cos as a force for good on the teams that you've been on,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I think you probably should have been in that final.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Aw!- Yeah!- OK.- I agree.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Joyful, joyful Frances in the final.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12So, that's what our panel thinks.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Let's see what the audience thinks, though.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired".
0:25:15 > 0:25:19If you disagree, hold up "hired", now, please. There's a lot of red.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I think it's... I think it's red, though.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- It is fired. I've had it officially, ladies and gentlemen.- No!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26It is fired, I'm afraid.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It was a good - lot of green - but I'm afraid there was more red.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34But no-one leaves here empty handed. I have a lovely gift for you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38You did seem to have a problem with a badger...
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- with a quiff.- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So I thought I would restore equilibrium,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43put everything back right with the world -
0:25:43 > 0:25:44a badger that won't disturb you,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47that won't frighten you, that won't worry you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You've got a beautiful badger...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51LAUGHTER
0:25:51 > 0:25:54..with a really sensible ladies' business haircut.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Oh, I love it! - APPLAUSE
0:25:57 > 0:26:00A good old-fashioned...
0:26:00 > 0:26:02no-nonsense...
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Frances, thanks for coming on the show. You've been a great sport.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I'm an ex world karate champion,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and I'm really not afraid of a fight.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12SHE SCREAMS
0:26:13 > 0:26:16If this goes badly wrong, I'm holding you personally responsible.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Frances is very clever.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20She's very credible, she excelled in every task.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21- Just make some decisions.- OK...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Tell us what you want us to do, and we'll do it for you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I really enjoy working with you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I absolutely love Frances. You know, Frances is a little fireball.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31She has a massive heart,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34and she was a pleasure to be around in the house.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36- Mm.- Mm.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I think that's really lovely.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Smashed it!

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Those are the kind of words that really engage people.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30I'm a little bit concerned.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31I like it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33What's your favourite animal?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35"Gooey" is a really nice word.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49You melt my heart.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Do I scream luxury?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Just cos it's luxurious doesn't mean it has to be dull.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Bottom line - I'm pissed off.
