Interviews The Apprentice: You're Fired

Useless. Totally, absolutely useless.

I feel so angry. I can't put up with loose cannons.

You're fired.

You're fired. You're fired.

APPLAUSE

Hello.

Good evening. Good evening and welcome to You're Fired.

I'm Rhod Gilbert.

In this week's task, the final five candidates competing

for a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar

were put through their paces by his most trusted advisors -

a gruelling Bear Grylls survival exercise,

complete with business plans.

And Alana learnt that the way to a man's heart might be through

his stomach, but it only works if that man has a heart.

LAUGHTER

What's that?

I thought, as my business is in cake manufacturing,

-I would let you have some of them to try.

-Right. We'll leave that there.

Can you just sit back a bit?

With three candidates to meet,

there's no time for The Apprentice News this week.

So as they say in business, let's crack on.

As usual, we have our panel,

ready to pick up where Lord Sugar's aides left off.

Apprentice winner 2012

and my sister's favourite Latin pop star Ricky Martin,

presenter and Apprentice fan Matt Edmondson,

and comedian Sara Pascoe.

Welcome to You're Fired.

So, the first of our three candidates to walk through

the famous frosted glass doors of The Apprentice boardroom

for the very last time was make-up artist Grainne.

Grainne, I'm going to be honest with you.

-I just can't see this.

-That's OK.

It's been nice to be associated with you, but it is,

-with regret, that you're fired.

-Thank you so much.

I really appreciate everything.

-WHISPERS:

-Best of luck, all of yous.

Please welcome Grainne McCoy.

-How are you?

-Welcome.

Ha! When you applied, did you think you'd get to the final five?

No, I'm shocked and privileged to be sitting here now.

You know, when I got it, made it through all them people

and then through the ten tasks, and now I'm in the final five.

-Yeah.

-Well, was.

-Were?

-Yeah.

-You are.

-Yeah.

You can say, "I'm in the final five.

-"I was the final five."

-I'm in the final five.

-"I was part of the final five."

-Thank you very much.

It's all hopeless, you haven't won. LAUGHTER

-Hold on.

-You can say whatever you want.

-My mother still thinks I did.

Oh, was that your mother we spoke to before the show?

One person shouted out, "Grainne is going to win!"

-Bless her.

-Thanks, Mum.

I have to say that when you got fired

is the happiest I've seen you look all series.

I know, people said I don't smile. I actually do, but...

Not that much normally.

That was you looking extremely happy when you got fired there.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I smiled a lot.

Obviously, I felt that it was the right choice

for Lord Sugar to fire me first, because, my God, I went in

and changed my whole business plan in front of him.

-So it wasn't a surprise?

-No, it wasn't a shock to me, like,

-I knew I was out the door.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Ricky, you've been through this process, what is it like?

It is a hell of a lot harder than I think anyone has any idea. It's...

You've got ten weeks' worth of getting absolutely battered

week after week, and you want to give it your A-game,

but you're probably on your Z-game.

So it's really hard. So, anyone even to get there has done well.

-So, well done.

-Thank you very much.

Mark, when Grainne was questioned about her previous business stuff

and her business plan, she said...

I think the words you used were, "I've been spendy happy."

If you're getting £250,000 from Lord Sugar,

he probably doesn't want you to be spendy happy.

That will make him spendy unhappy.

If you won... If you won that money, I mean,

you could go out and buy an expensive tailored suit

or, like, a natty polka-dot tie,

but I think he would really frown upon that one, really.

-Yeah, well, do you know what? He loves the tie.

-OK.

Well, one long day,

five nervous candidates and four terrifying face-to-face

interviews that make Jeremy Paxman look like Barry Chuckle.

Let's see where it all went wrong for Grainne.

Grainne, I'm a little bit confused about your idea.

-You want to be an agency for beauty counter staff.

-Yeah.

-You want to be an agency for make-up artists.

-OK.

You want to run a physical and online store.

It's just too much in one go.

So she is maybe shooting too high there?

I am half qualified...

-You're not even qualified yet?

-Nope.

Not certified yet.

Sounds like I might need certifying

to actually invest in this, then.

-You said those interviews are worse than childbirth.

-Yes.

Mike, Linda and Claudine are in our audience.

Mike, contractions times 20 worse than childbirth?

I guess that's a fair enough analogy.

You're going to take that comment?

Linda, Grainne's business plan,

where...an online and retail store,

you want to be the managing director, be the brand,

do all the training, do all the make-up yourself.

-Do it all.

-You are going to clean.

-I was going to take over the world.

-Did you think she tried to take on too much there?

-Yeah.

I think her problem was there was four or five parts to Grainne's

proposed business with Lord Sugar,

but she had no experience in any of them, bar one.

I think that was her downfall.

-Yeah.

-I agree.

LAUGHTER

-I totally agree.

-I'm glad you said that.

I wasn't sure where to take it.

One of the more memorable moments was the gin task.

-Yeah.

-Where...

I don't know quite how to put it. How would you put it diplomatically?

-Drunk.

-Drunk, in fact.

I was going to say you tested the product very robustly,

you took a long time getting the spicing just right, but, no,

I think drunk... Bladdered, you got bladdered.

I think it was the scent in the distillery,

-it wasn't the actual sipping.

-Yeah. It could've been that.

-Could've.

-Let's go with that one.

-Yeah, let's go with that.

-No, it wasn't.

Was that very unprofessional, or do you think that was...?

-No, I thought it was very professional.

-Thank you.

What is rude is to spit.

We would do wine tasting, and they're spitting all over the place.

And it's food waste, in this day and age...

I thought it was incredibly professional of them.

See, I've never heard of anyone spitting out alcohol.

LAUGHTER

Tell me about the aquarium,

where you did very well selling the tickets for the real-life mermaid.

Well, I told everybody that this woman could hold her breath,

she was like some sort of, like...

-Well, you told them she was Man From Atlantis.

-She was!

I've got a little bit of a surprise for you tonight

because she... In fact, her name is Grace.

-The mermaid from that very task is sitting...

-Hi!

Hi, Grace.

There did seem to be a little bit of confusion, Grace.

Do you A - immerse yourself in a tank for several minutes

in an incredible feat of human...?

Or do you B - sit around in a sleeping bag singing?

-SHE LAUGHS

-Well, both.

I am a qualified free diver, so that is part of my main act,

and I do normally do that, we just couldn't on this particular episode.

Every aquarium and tank, you have certain tests you have to do.

-Which are?

-To make sure that the shark doesn't eat you.

-Oh, there were sharks in there?!

-Yeah, there were sharks in there.

And you've got to make sure you're not going to ruin the environment

and that they're not going to be surprised.

Listen, once you said sharks, that's enough.

Job done. I take it all back, I'm really sorry.

I don't want to say I told you so.

I'm really sorry.

I said you were a woman in a sleeping bag, I feel a fool.

-I'm sorry.

-It's a very expensive sleeping bag.

Ladies and gentlemen, Grace, the mermaid. Congratulations.

Well, aren't I the fool?!

Anyway, Grainne, unfortunately, Lord Sugar didn't put you in the

final two, but he does have this advice for your future.

Grainne, bright girl.

Only spoke when she needed to.

And when she did speak, she spoke common sense.

I found Grainne very calm, collected.

She adapted to every task that I set

and tried to work very, very hard.

A great team player.

The problem with Grainne's business plan

was she was trying to do too many things,

and it was a bit confusing as to what the real business was,

and that's why I think she needs to concentrate solely on one thing

and hone in on that.

-Concentrate a bit, hone in on one thing and do that.

-Yeah, he's right.

And, you know, I'm chuffed with the words that he said cos

I know I worked very hard through every task,

so I'm very happy with that, yeah.

Well, he decided, you agree with him,

let's see what the panel thinks. Ricky.

I think you're a standout candidate,

but your business plan wasn't worth a quarter of a million pounds.

-So, it was the right decision.

-Mark.

You have been one of my favourites to watch,

but I have to agree with Lord Sugar.

-That's all right, I agree too.

-It was time for you to go.

-I completely disagree. I think you're brilliant.

-Oh, thank you.

Really brilliant. Well done.

It's time to find out what the audience think.

-If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "Fired".

-(Green.)

If you disagree, hold up "Hired" now, please.

I'm going to have to have help from the Eye in the Sky.

I'm going to have to name a blush shade for that red.

It's red.

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

-It is red, I'm afraid.

-Don't say "aw" now, you voted for it!

-It's all right.

Well, Grainne, unfortunately, Lord Sugar didn't choose you.

But nobody goes away from here empty-handed.

It did seem as though you were a little bit too ambitious.

In your company, you needed to wear too many hats -

managing director to training to online and off-line...

Is this going to ruin my hair?

Well, we just thought you needed to wear a lot of hats

to do everything in your business from top to bottom,

-so we thought we would get you one hat.

-Aw!

With a duster.

That's the duster. This is one hat.

Oh, that's the calculator for your finance department.

You've got your mobile phone when you're out and about.

There's a make-up brush for doing your own make-up.

This is a torch. A torch and walkie-talkie there. There we go.

-Oh, it works.

-That is one hat.

-Should I tried on?

-I presume you do your own cleaning. Can I move your sandwich?

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

-Sorry.

-How's that?

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Spin it round?

-Grainne, thanks for being on the show.

-Thank you.

You've been a good sport.

-Let's have a look at your highlights.

-Thank you.

-# Who runs the world?

-ALL:

-Girls! #

Oh, sorry. Are you interested?

Do you want to come up?

If he doesn't want to listen to me, fine, let's lose.

Awkward!

She's so genuine. She's strong, she's driven.

Yeah, she's lovely.

# All night long... #

We've had probably the most heart-warming moments together,

the most hilarious moments together.

She just is brilliant.

That was amazing.

That's interesting.

That's, um, a bit of a shock.

You did it! Well done.

Ladies and gentlemen, Grainne McCoy.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Well, hot on Grainne's heels,

the second candidate to pack up their troubles

in their little flight case

and make their way calmly to the emergency exit was Jessica.

Jessica, I think you've got great sales ability,

but it's a very, very risky idea.

Jessica, it is with regret that you're fired.

Thank you so much. It's been absolutely incredible.

-WHISPERS:

-Good luck, everyone.

Please welcome Jessica Cunningham.

Ah!

Rah!

I won't kiss you.

-How do you feel?

-Oh, I'm gutted. I'm properly gutted.

-Are you?

-Yeah.

I thought I was going to win it!

LAUGHTER There must be a bit of you

that's really chuffed to get this far, though, as well.

Yeah, but I think when you enter The Apprentice,

you enter because you want to win Lord Sugar as a business partner

and £250,000, so for me, the final five is amazing,

but I was there to win it.

I used to imagine Lord Sugar ringing me and being like,

"You've won, Jessica," every morning.

No, I did, it was like...

-It did look pretty brutal. You said, "It ripped me to shreds."

-Oh, God.

I felt physically sick after Linda just tore into me. Sorry, Linda.

Yeah, which, like...

"You're right, I'm failing in life. This is not good."

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

-Linda!

-"Failing in life" you made Jessica feel.

-I never said that.

I changed it round, don't worry.

Ricky, it is obviously an incredibly tough process,

did you get a sense that Jessica didn't quite know her stuff

as well as she might?

I was so disappointed for you at that point, because up until then,

-you'd been such a good candidate.

-Oh, thank you.

And it's almost like you crumbled in the interviews

and your business plan just fell apart.

Cos I think if you articulated better, you had a great chance.

Sara, how would you get on in there, do you think?

Oh, I couldn't.

I couldn't. It'd break my heart. I'm a baby. I'm too much of a wuss,

and they're horribly mean.

-Why are you being so mean?

-Oh, we're not being mean at all.

The most important thing to remember here is Lord Sugar

has £250,000 at stake here,

and our job is to make sure that the people

that get through really do deserve it,

so I think you are there to be...

to have to answer the really tough questions.

-And, in some cases, you just crumbled.

-Yeah.

Sometimes, when people ask me a question,

if I get a bit panicky or worked up, I do waffle,

and then I forget what they're asking me, and then I get worked up.

-Yeah.

-I hadn't noticed that about you(!)

LAUGHTER

-It's not something that came across at all.

-I hide it well.

Well, Jessica's plans for a brand with dresses, T-shirts,

jeans and jackets were all ripped to shreds.

Let's see why she was the second candidate this week

to fetch her coat and leave.

I'm confident in my ability

and I know what I'm talking about.

Fingers crossed.

One of your biggest costs - £10,000 per month,

the so-called celebrities, whatever they are.

Don't you think that is a bit of a risk?

-..used at my previous business.

-But that business didn't work.

It's high risk and I think you could easily lose your money

very, very quickly.

So, you made a loss,

you don't know how much loss.

If you had money in the bank, it dwindled.

Do you know what you're talking about?

-No, I don't think I do, actually.

-No, that's what I think.

Claudine, what was good about Jessica's business plan?

Well, she understands the power of social media,

but I have to say that probably the biggest asset Jessica has

is her herself, because she's so vivacious and tenacious,

and she's just a really engaging person.

Like, I think she's just going to be successful...

-Oh, thank you.

-..as a person.

-Oh!

Well, in such a long, difficult process,

the candidates can get a little tired,

and in this bit of unseen footage, it's clearly on the gin -

sorry, "zhin" - task that Jessica started to crack.

So, erm, yeah, just tell me - what do you like about it?

-HIGHER VOICE:

-I think it tastes really, really great.

I'd definitely buy into this. The raspberry essence is wonderful.

-NORMAL VOICE:

-Fantastic, OK.

What would you rate this out of ten?

-HIGHER VOICE:

-12.

-NORMAL VOICE:

-Goodness!

What would you drink this with?

-HIGHER VOICE:

-A friend.

-NORMAL VOICE:

-Oh! I was thinking about a tonic, but that'll do.

-Oh, I think

-I

-need a friend.

APPLAUSE

Completely lost it. Totally lost the plot.

-HIGHER VOICE:

-I don't know what you mean, Rhod.

-NORMAL VOICE:

-I don't know what he's on about either!

The business you wanted to set up with Lord Sugar...

-Lust And Lies was the name.

-Yes.

There's been quite a few times where you've bent the truth a little bit.

-Yeah.

-Ricky, where do you stand on this?

Where do you stand on sort of, you know,

embellishing the truth when you're in sales?

-I kind of get where you're coming from...

-Yep.

..but I always say "people buy from people,"

and you've got such a great personality,

and I've backed you all the way, as well.

-Oh, thank you.

-Such a good personality.

If you'd just used that, you'd have got a sale,

but to put a massive blag out there and expect someone to go with it,

is where it fell down there.

Sara, have you ever bent the truth to get what you wanted?

Yeah, I'm a fibber.

Like, if I'm trying to seduce someone,

I'll kind of pretend I haven't got a boyfriend.

LAUGHTER

-Little lies! There's no harm in it!

-Not important things(!)

-No.

Not important things, if you're watching.

Not important things, boyfriend. Erm...

-So close, very close...

-Yeah.

-..yet very far.

No investment from Lord Sugar, but he does have this advice for you.

Jessica was very enthusiastic, good at sales,

and got on quite well with the people around her.

Jessica's business plan, when you dived into it,

I don't think she'd really covered all aspects of the things

that have to be done to make it work.

I'm sure she doesn't need me to tell her this,

but she just basically does need to take a deep breath,

think through what you've got to say first of all.

I think, if she does that,

together with enhancing her own business, she'll do quite well.

Advice you can use?

Definitely. No, yeah, to be fair, he hit the nail on the head. Erm...

I would just get so nervous, and then I just used to waffle.

But, Lord Sugar made his decision -

but does our panel think it's the right one?

-Ricky?

-Based on that business plan, it was the right decision.

-Yeah.

-Matt?

-I'm sad to see you go.

I think you're one of the best Apprentice candidates of all time...

-Oh, my God! Thank you!

-..but, I think, on this occasion,

right decision.

I disagree. I think you'll be able to buy these people one day.

You're my new PF - personal fave.

So, it's time to find out what our audience thinks.

If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "Fired".

If you disagree, hold up "Hired," now, please.

-That's tight. That is close.

-It's definitely hired, Rhod.

I think you might be right. I think you might be...

I like the way you wore a suggestive green dress,

to try and subliminally project your messages.

-It is green! The dress worked, ladies and gentlemen.

-Woohoo!

-I love you all!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

They disagree with Lord Sugar.

-Jessica, thanks for coming on the show.

-Oh, thank you.

You've been a wonderful sport, and a fantastic candidate to watch,

Let's have a look at your highlights.

People say I'm like the female version of Jim Carrey.

I believe it's cos I'm quite animated with my face,

and a bit crazy with my hands.

Wah! Action! Hello!

Whoa!

That looks ridiculous.

Whoa!

Jessica is the biggest bundle of energy I have ever met

in my life, and my God, she's lovely.

High five me now, honey!

Jessica - an absolute bundle of joy to be around.

Whoo!

She is an amazing woman.

Choose your concept, then we'll think of the ideas around.

I can see you eyeing them up! Use your common sense. Ooh, OK.

Hello!

Jessica, unfortunately, Lord Sugar didn't put you through

to the final two, but nobody goes away from here empty-handed.

We have got for you... Very early in this process,

you established yourself as a master of physical comedy.

The world knows and loves you as the female Jim Carrey.

Oh, I'm dreading this!

Your signature joke from that very first episode

-was the fantastic fake vase drop.

-Oh, yes!

And we thought we would get you something that allows you

-to do your very own fake vase drop, wherever...

-Oh, thanks.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Whoa! Oh, shit!

Oh, I'm gutted!

I'll treasure it forever.

We'll bag that up and have it sent on to a forwarding address.

-Oh, thanks.

-Ladies and gentlemen, Jessica Cunningham.

-Oh, thank you.

APPLAUSE

Well, with Grainne and Jessica gone,

there were just three candidates left,

and only two seats booked in Lord Sugar's limo to final city,

and it was poor Frances who headed off home in a black cab.

Frances, this idea is not scalable. I want a big business.

I wish you the best of luck, but I'm not going to be investing in you.

-You're fired.

-Thank you. Good luck, guys. All the best.

Please welcome Frances Bishop. APPLAUSE

-So, first question always - how are you feeling now?

-Pretty good, yeah.

-I'm OK, I'm over it. I'm all right.

-Are you?

-Yeah.

-You're over it?

-Yeah, I'm over it. I'm over it.

You said in the taxi you have a bright f... What was it you said?

"A bright, brilliant future"?

-Yeah. I mean...

-You still feeling chipper?

-Yeah! I, you know...

Lord Sugar even said himself I've got a good business,

and that was known throughout the process.

And I love my business, and I love what I do,

and I can't wait to get started.

-Yeah. Oh, well, crack on.

-Yeah, get on.

Er, well, ex-karate champion Frances

was the third and final candidate to get the chop this week,

so let's see how it happened.

You put in your application that you're really disorganised,

and your filing is in your handbag.

So, I previously had a business partner.

She did the accounts and the figure side.

Good. Well, I can see you miss her.

Your business plan says you've got two stores. You actually had three.

This business plan is trying to pretend that the mistakes

that you've made, they don't matter.

Well, they do matter.

Matt, did Frances sell herself...?

You seem very honest at times,

forgive me, but you were sort of, "Oh, I'm horrific at figures,

"I'm totally disorganised, all my filing's in my handbag" -

was that the most sensible thing to do, or was it...?

Well, I don't know. I think you're possibly too nice, Frances.

-That's the thing.

-Aw!

You're too nice, you're too honest about these things.

The whole point of The Apprentice is you're meant to go on and say

that you're going to be a billion dollar unicorn, you know?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Which is obviously the carpet standpoint.

I think to go on and say, "I'm human, I've made mistakes" -

I find that endearing, and that makes you seem trustworthy.

But, I guess in a situation where you're trying to fight

against all those other people, who aren't taking that approach,

it's a little bit difficult.

-Sara, what's your CV like?

-Oh!

Does it lean to the over-honest, or the over-embellished?

I think maybe, similarly to Frances, my CV does have the truth on it.

Like, it does have all the places I have worked,

but also I'm always hoping that they do not ring any of those places,

and find out why they fired me.

Over to our interviewers - Linda, Frances said, and I quote,

"They tore me a new one".

-Was that the intention?

-Not at all, I think I was very kind to Frances.

LAUGHTER

Love you, Linda. Now.

Let's look back at the process.

Matt, on the virtual reality task,

Frances had a real problem with suspending disbelief.

I mean, we can see it here. There were certain elements of it...

I mean, we were dealing with a virtual reality,

we were in space, we were badgers.

Frances was fine with most things,

but seemed to have a problem with one thing.

The branding is frankly pathetic.

What planet are they on? I mean, he's got a bloody quiff.

The badger's got a quiff! It's just embarrassing.

It's utterly embarrassing.

-I was very angry, wasn't I?

-I know!

The one big problem you had was the badger's hairdo. I couldn't quite...

Would it have been all right if he'd had a centre parting?

-Was it...?

-Yeah, I mean, I draw the line...

Or a Rachel, would that have been all right?

No, I just drew the line at a quiff.

I just think that you were in a bad mood about that badger,

because it seemed like Courtney and Jessica had just gone off,

had a lovely time, gone, "What's the craziest thing we can think of?

"A badger in space. That'll do, let's have the afternoon off."

And, actually, it was a good idea, as everyone said, in the end.

You've got to get on board with that quiff now, surely.

Yeah, I'm going to have to.

I mean, you know, I won a task, so I have to get on board with it,

cos I actually did win one, finally.

Well, Frances, unfortunately Lord Sugar won't be investing in you,

-as you know.

-No.

-But he does have this advice for your future.

Frances started her own business, and she had multiple shops,

actually, and employed people already,

and I think that is very commendable.

Frances needs to stick to what she knows.

I think she needs to scale it up a bit.

She's got a great concept there, very determined young lady,

and I know that she will succeed

if she focuses primarily on building her business up.

-Focus on scaling it up. Is that the plan?

-Yeah. Erm...

Next year, I want to open an additional two more shops,

and then get a warehouse, and...

Yeah, smash it!

-Big plans. Smash it!

-Yeah, smash it!

Well, Frances, Lord Sugar made his decision,

but does our panel think it was the right one? Ricky?

I'd LIKE to disagree.

I actually think that the investment wasn't right for you

and your business proposition, either, so based upon that fact,

it was the right decision.

-Matt?

-Despite losing most of the tasks,

you have been incredibly consistent, and I think...

-LAUGHTER

-No, no, but I mean as...

Cos as a force for good on the teams that you've been on,

I think you probably should have been in that final.

-Aw!

-Yeah!

-OK.

-I agree.

Joyful, joyful Frances in the final.

So, that's what our panel thinks.

Let's see what the audience thinks, though.

If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired".

If you disagree, hold up "hired", now, please. There's a lot of red.

I think it's... I think it's red, though.

-It is fired. I've had it officially, ladies and gentlemen.

-No!

It is fired, I'm afraid.

It was a good - lot of green - but I'm afraid there was more red.

But no-one leaves here empty handed. I have a lovely gift for you.

You did seem to have a problem with a badger...

-with a quiff.

-Yeah.

So I thought I would restore equilibrium,

put everything back right with the world -

a badger that won't disturb you,

that won't frighten you, that won't worry you.

You've got a beautiful badger...

LAUGHTER

..with a really sensible ladies' business haircut.

-Oh, I love it!

-APPLAUSE

A good old-fashioned...

no-nonsense...

Frances, thanks for coming on the show. You've been a great sport.

Let's have a look at your highlights.

I'm an ex world karate champion,

and I'm really not afraid of a fight.

SHE SCREAMS

If this goes badly wrong, I'm holding you personally responsible.

Frances is very clever.

She's very credible, she excelled in every task.

-Just make some decisions.

-OK...

Tell us what you want us to do, and we'll do it for you.

I really enjoy working with you.

I absolutely love Frances. You know, Frances is a little fireball.

She has a massive heart,

and she was a pleasure to be around in the house.

-Mm.

-Mm.

I think that's really lovely.

Smashed it!

Ladies and gentlemen, Frances Bishop.

APPLAUSE

And also, please thank tonight's Apprentice fans and guests,

Ricky Martin, Matt Edmondson, and Sara Pascoe,

and the men and women of Lord Sugar's right hand -

interviewers Mike Soutar, Claudine Collins, and Linda Plant.

APPLAUSE

Cor, if I had a drum, I would roll it, because, ladies and gents,

next week it is the final.

Courtney and Alana are going to lock horns

in the culmination of their 12-week battle

to win Lord Sugar's investment.

Here is a sneak preview of how they got on.

So, for your final task, I want you to launch your businesses.

-SHE SCREAMS

-Are you OK?

I'm so glad you guys are back.

Bingo Bongo or Ringo Dingo.

Those are the kind of words that really engage people.

I'm a little bit concerned.

I like it.

What's your favourite animal?

"Gooey" is a really nice word.

They're rubbish.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

What time to you have to go home?

What are you hoping to achieve?

-Oh.

-It is weird, isn't it?

You melt my heart.

Do I scream luxury?

Just cos it's luxurious doesn't mean it has to be dull.

Bottom line - I'm pissed off.

It's all a bit real, isn't it?

HUMMING

It's a tough one.

You're going to be my business partner.

Yes, ladies and gents,

we're on the cusp of the final of The Apprentice 2016.

This Sunday, Courtney and Alana will leave the house

unfeasibly early one last time,

to battle it out for that massive investment, and afterwards,

on You're Hired, I'll be talking to both of them, one a winner,

and one not, as well as Lord Sugar himself.

So, join us for a two-hour Apprentice extravaganza,

this Sunday the 18th, BBC One, 9pm.

See you then. Goodnight.
