I'm not impressed with any of you. This is a bloody shambles.

0:00:020:00:04

You didn't follow the money.

0:00:040:00:06

I've got two teams here and they're both rubbish.

0:00:060:00:08

You're fired.

0:00:080:00:09

You're fired.

0:00:090:00:10

You're fired.

0:00:100:00:11

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:160:00:19

Good evening, good evening, and welcome to The Apprentice: You're Fired.

0:00:230:00:26

I'm Rhod Gilbert.

0:00:260:00:27

This week, the candidates took on the world of high fashion,

0:00:270:00:30

tasked with choosing a designer

0:00:300:00:31

and putting on a fashion show to showcase their talents.

0:00:310:00:34

After the task, bored with sending fired candidates

0:00:340:00:37

home in a black cab, Lord Sugar tried out a new idea.

0:00:370:00:40

LAUGHTER

0:00:420:00:44

Here to help us figure out who was haute couture

0:00:450:00:47

and who was HAUTE of their depth,

0:00:470:00:49

please welcome this week's panel of Apprentice fans and guests.

0:00:490:00:53

Creative Director of bespoke tailor Norton & Sons, Patrick Grant.

0:00:530:00:56

Stylist, fashion journalist and TV presenter, Angela Scanlon,

0:00:560:00:59

and comedian Dane Baptise, welcome to You're Fired.

0:00:590:01:02

Thank you!

0:01:020:01:03

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:030:01:06

Patrick, how do you think it went this week?

0:01:090:01:10

Well, you know, it's nice to see fashion represented.

0:01:100:01:13

It's a big industry, employs lots of people.

0:01:130:01:15

This was a simple marketing task, and I don't think many of them

0:01:150:01:18

emerged from this with very much credit, I have to say.

0:01:180:01:21

-Right. Angela?

-Yeah, surprising, across the board.

0:01:210:01:25

I think the people I thought would sail through didn't, and those

0:01:250:01:29

who I thought would get it in the neck managed to dodge a bullet.

0:01:290:01:32

Intriguing. Dane?

0:01:320:01:34

I think, yeah, really good episode.

0:01:340:01:36

Interesting that there would be an episode about fashion, cos

0:01:360:01:40

I notice that a lot of candidates tend to wear blue suits everywhere.

0:01:400:01:43

LAUGHTER

0:01:430:01:44

So I didn't know how fashion-savvy they were going to be.

0:01:440:01:46

We'll be discussing this week's shock double-firing

0:01:460:01:49

when we chat to both the fired candidates a little later on.

0:01:490:01:51

But first...

0:01:510:01:53

CLOCK CHIMES

0:01:530:01:55

..in Apprentice news tonight...

0:01:550:01:57

..there's high drama as, just before she heads into the boardroom,

0:01:570:02:00

a live crab gets stuck in Michaela's shoe.

0:02:000:02:02

LAUGHTER

0:02:050:02:07

A cruel hypnotist makes Harrison feel an electric shock every

0:02:070:02:10

time someone mentions his name.

0:02:100:02:12

I'd have to say that Harrison didn't contribute anywhere near as much...

0:02:120:02:15

LAUGHTER

0:02:150:02:16

Claude goes undercover...

0:02:180:02:20

Some of them...

0:02:200:02:21

LAUGHTER

0:02:210:02:23

..and James finds that trying to have a meeting

0:02:230:02:26

while standing on a record player isn't easy.

0:02:260:02:28

Right. God, that was stressful!

0:02:280:02:31

LAUGHTER

0:02:310:02:32

That's tonight's Apprentice news.

0:02:320:02:34

APPLAUSE

0:02:340:02:36

So, after strutting no stuff whatsoever in the fashion

0:02:370:02:41

industry, Lord Sugar decided that Harrison didn't measure up

0:02:410:02:44

and showed him the CHRISTIAN DIOR.

0:02:440:02:47

Harrison, I don't know what you did on this task.

0:02:470:02:49

In fact, I've had a bit of a problem understanding what you

0:02:490:02:52

did on other tasks.

0:02:520:02:54

It is with regret, Harrison, you're fired.

0:02:540:02:57

Cheers.

0:02:590:03:00

Thanks for the opportunity.

0:03:000:03:01

Please welcome Harrison Jones!

0:03:060:03:08

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:03:080:03:10

-You all right?

-Yeah, good, man, thank you.

-Grab a seat.

0:03:120:03:15

It's Harrison, ladies and gentlemen, it's Harrison!

0:03:150:03:18

CHEERING

0:03:180:03:19

Look at that!

0:03:190:03:20

-Listen to that!

-Nice welcome.

0:03:200:03:22

What a welcome.

0:03:220:03:24

IN COCKNEY ACCENT: Harrison, Harrison, Harrison. What happened, mate?

0:03:240:03:27

LAUGHTER

0:03:270:03:28

I messed up, didn't I? Big time.

0:03:280:03:30

IN OWN ACCENT: How long are we going to carry this voice on for? No, it's actually my voice.

0:03:300:03:33

-Oh, I know.

-Oh, right, yeah.

0:03:330:03:35

Go on, tell me what happened.

0:03:350:03:36

Well, I didn't know a great deal about women's fashion, um...

0:03:360:03:39

I think, yeah, evidently I got fired, so...

0:03:390:03:42

-Didn't go too well, to be honest.

-I was hoping for a bit more insight than that!

0:03:420:03:45

LAUGHTER

0:03:450:03:47

The word "grafter" comes up quite a lot.

0:03:470:03:50

Perhaps you're not, you weren't quite versatile enough this week, that showed that, perhaps.

0:03:500:03:54

I think I was versatile throughout the whole process.

0:03:540:03:56

I mean, I've gone from picking up dog poo to singing,

0:03:560:04:00

to running a catwalk show, to painting a wall yellow, so...

0:04:000:04:04

Yeah, no, I think I've...

0:04:040:04:06

That's quite an array of skills you've got there.

0:04:060:04:08

LAUGHTER

0:04:080:04:09

-It really is.

-Think I've been pretty versatile, to be fair.

0:04:090:04:11

Harrison was in the boardroom with Jade and Sarah, Patrick.

0:04:110:04:14

Did you anticipate the double-firing?

0:04:140:04:17

Well, I didn't anticipate it, but I can't say I'm entirely surprised.

0:04:170:04:21

You know, you seemed to just,

0:04:210:04:23

kind of, decide that you weren't that interested and you were

0:04:230:04:26

sort of a, you know, in the best possible way,

0:04:260:04:28

sort of, a wet lettuce throughout the entire thing.

0:04:280:04:30

LAUGHTER

0:04:300:04:31

It was like, you just, you just dodged it.

0:04:310:04:33

Angela, were you surprised that Sarah didn't go, as well?

0:04:330:04:36

Definitely. She doesn't really do anything for me,

0:04:360:04:39

and, yeah, I think she should have gone...

0:04:390:04:41

-..before the other two.

-OK.

-Yeah.

0:04:410:04:44

-You made a last-minute appeal...

-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

0:04:440:04:47

..to Lord Sugar. AS HARRISON: "No-one will graft harder than me!"

0:04:470:04:50

LAUGHTER

0:04:500:04:51

"My drive and determination are second to none, Lord Sugar!"

0:04:510:04:54

Yeah, had to be done.

0:04:540:04:55

Did you think that was going to work, Dane,

0:04:550:04:57

do you think, that appeal at the last minute?

0:04:570:04:59

I think if I was in your position, the first thing I would be like,

0:04:590:05:02

"I've picked up dog poo for you, Lord Sugar!"

0:05:020:05:04

LAUGHTER

0:05:040:05:05

If someone's not prepared to accept you're going to pick up dog poo to win a task...

0:05:050:05:08

-Exactly, yeah.

-..then maybe it's just, yeah, just creative differences.

0:05:080:05:12

LAUGHTER

0:05:120:05:13

Unfortunately, when it came to the catwalk,

0:05:130:05:15

Harrison was less walking cat and more nodding dog,

0:05:150:05:18

-as he let Sarah and Jade make all the ISSEY MIYAKE decisions.

-Ooh!

0:05:180:05:24

Ah! Beautiful!

0:05:240:05:25

LAUGHTER

0:05:250:05:26

Let's see where it all went wrong.

0:05:260:05:28

Harrison, you say that your best ability is to adapt

0:05:280:05:32

to your surroundings.

0:05:320:05:33

I threw you in this fashion business.

0:05:330:05:35

You didn't adapt to it, did you?

0:05:350:05:37

I won't be putting myself forward for project manager as you're

0:05:390:05:42

going to have more experience of women's fashion.

0:05:420:05:44

What on Lord's green earth is it?!

0:05:440:05:45

LAUGHTER

0:05:450:05:47

I'm not really here to try and shine.

0:05:470:05:49

I'm not putting a business plan that involves anything to do

0:05:490:05:51

with catwalking. Yeah, whatever.

0:05:510:05:53

It reminds me of one of those things when you're

0:05:530:05:55

freezing cold, the paramedics put over you.

0:05:550:05:57

I worry for Harrison, cos there's nothing he's done on

0:05:570:05:59

this task that has made any difference.

0:05:590:06:01

He's really just an assistant.

0:06:010:06:03

Oh, he's just brought back the dress for you.

0:06:030:06:05

What use were you? I mean, they had enough mannequins.

0:06:050:06:08

So they obviously didn't use you for that.

0:06:080:06:10

-LAUGHTER

-Aw!

0:06:110:06:13

-That was a bit harsh, Karren saying you did nothing. You carried the dress over.

-It was heavy, as well!

0:06:130:06:17

LAUGHTER

0:06:170:06:18

Looked heavy! You carried that over. You put the chairs out...

0:06:180:06:21

-Exactly. Very straight lines as well, so...

-Is that what you went for?

0:06:210:06:24

Yeah, they had like, wooden lines

0:06:240:06:25

-and I made sure all the fronts were up against them. So...

-Did you?

-Yeah.

0:06:250:06:28

-And then people go, people say you do nothing!

-Exactly!

0:06:280:06:31

LAUGHTER

0:06:310:06:32

It did seem like you sort of... I mean, rabbit in the headlights.

0:06:320:06:34

-That's what you looked...

-Is that what I looked like?

0:06:340:06:36

-That's what you were.

-That's fair enough.

0:06:360:06:38

No, to be fair, when I opened that box and I saw, like,

0:06:380:06:40

a tinfoil, what, like overcoat...

0:06:400:06:42

RHOD LAUGHS

0:06:420:06:43

..um, yeah, I've never seen anything like it, so, yeah,

0:06:430:06:46

-it was a bit of a shock.

-Yeah.

-Mmm.

0:06:460:06:48

Angela, do you think he could have thrown himself in a little bit more than he did?

0:06:480:06:52

I think he could have got stuck in a bit more.

0:06:520:06:54

I mean, the choice of designer

0:06:540:06:56

by Jade made it quite difficult.

0:06:560:06:58

Those clothes...

0:06:580:07:00

I think I would find it difficult,

0:07:000:07:02

and I'm a pretty good saleswoman.

0:07:020:07:04

-But, if all else fails, LOOK busy!

-Mmm.

0:07:040:07:07

LAUGHTER

0:07:070:07:08

Let's talk about the designs a bit.

0:07:080:07:10

It looks really good, and Stylist magazine got behind you.

0:07:100:07:13

How much easier would you have found it if Jade had picked a more

0:07:130:07:17

high street, kind of, less high-end, less, sort of, avant-garde designer?

0:07:170:07:21

Um... Well, yeah, it would have changed the whole task, definitely,

0:07:210:07:24

so yeah, it would, everything would have changed,

0:07:240:07:26

cos not a lot of people will buy lots of £1,000 dresses.

0:07:260:07:30

So, yeah, I think a low, a low level item would have done better.

0:07:300:07:34

Dane, I'm sure you've spotted, as I did, the futuristic, regal,

0:07:340:07:37

rock and roll, gothic theme across the collection.

0:07:370:07:39

LAUGHTER

0:07:390:07:40

The designer even mentioned it was kind of post-apocalyptic.

0:07:400:07:43

Like, if there's any advice...

0:07:430:07:44

If you hear the word "apocalypse" in a product,

0:07:440:07:46

probably should leave it, in a task.

0:07:460:07:48

LAUGHTER

0:07:480:07:49

Er, Patrick, the task was all about commission.

0:07:490:07:51

Was it, Jade going for a high-end designer, is that more of a gamble?

0:07:510:07:54

That was where this, that was the big failure in this task. I mean,

0:07:540:07:57

yeah, how many people in this room spend more

0:07:570:07:59

than 150 quid on a garment on a regular basis?

0:07:590:08:01

Not, you know, that's MOST of us.

0:08:010:08:03

The market for contemporary fashion is enormous.

0:08:030:08:06

The market for high-end fashion is incredibly small.

0:08:060:08:10

And that was the big error.

0:08:100:08:12

I mean, they could have had 40% commission

0:08:120:08:13

-and they would not have won this task.

-Yeah.

0:08:130:08:16

Well, as any budding model or fashion student knows,

0:08:160:08:19

there's nothing like top tips from experts.

0:08:190:08:21

And this week was nothing like that.

0:08:210:08:23

Do YOU want to be the next top model?

0:08:230:08:26

Then join the...

0:08:260:08:28

OK, work it. Work it. Work every bit.

0:08:290:08:32

Our experienced models will teach you all you need to know about...

0:08:320:08:35

LAUGHTER

0:08:350:08:36

What that represents to me is, sort of, amateur magician.

0:08:360:08:39

As in, she could be like this.

0:08:400:08:42

She's posing as a teapot.

0:08:420:08:44

And learn about high-end fashion from our expert, Harrison!

0:08:440:08:47

Yeah, whatever.

0:08:470:08:48

LAUGHTER

0:08:480:08:50

APPLAUSE

0:08:520:08:53

-Oh, I do love that "whatever". I do love that "whatever".

-Ah.

0:08:530:08:56

We're down to the final five.

0:08:580:08:59

Last guy in the process, James, I can tell you, I've got the stats.

0:08:590:09:04

Ten tasks, so far. He's won five, lost five.

0:09:040:09:06

What's he like to work with?

0:09:060:09:08

Yeah, yeah, James is good.

0:09:080:09:10

I'd say he's got, like, an all-round skillset,

0:09:100:09:13

so I'm quite confident that he's going to go a bit further.

0:09:130:09:16

Well, he definitely has gone further, but, I mean, further than that.

0:09:160:09:19

LAUGHTER

0:09:190:09:21

But, yeah, no, he's good at business, definitely.

0:09:210:09:23

This is James' cover, of course.

0:09:230:09:24

LAUGHTER

0:09:240:09:26

There's James on the...

0:09:260:09:28

LAUGHTER

0:09:280:09:29

..on the front cover.

0:09:290:09:30

Patrick, how did he do as an amateur model?

0:09:300:09:32

I don't understand this idea of taking

0:09:320:09:34

one for the team by being a model.

0:09:340:09:36

They, surely that's doing your team a massive disservice.

0:09:360:09:38

There were professional models offered to you.

0:09:380:09:40

Take them.

0:09:400:09:41

Angela, can you see him going all the way?

0:09:410:09:43

-Do you think he'll be in the final?

-I think he will go through the interview stage

0:09:430:09:47

and I think he'll get to the final.

0:09:470:09:48

I don't know that he can win it,

0:09:490:09:51

but I really enjoy watching him, he's very positive.

0:09:510:09:53

He's got a good energy. He takes risks, you know?

0:09:530:09:56

He kind of does throw himself into it.

0:09:560:09:59

And he's got amazing teeth...

0:09:590:10:01

LAUGHTER

0:10:010:10:02

..which I think Lord Sugar appreciates, a good set of...

0:10:020:10:04

It's important, especially if you're working

0:10:040:10:06

for someone with the surname Sugar, and you have good teeth, that's...

0:10:060:10:09

LAUGHTER

0:10:090:10:10

-Lord Sugar said he looked constipated.

-Yeah.

0:10:100:10:12

Think it's a constipated, kind of, like, a haemorrhoid chic kind of look.

0:10:120:10:15

LAUGHTER

0:10:150:10:16

He looks very pensive.

0:10:160:10:18

He was kind of like, "Do I...proceed with business or get laxatives?"

0:10:180:10:21

LAUGHTER

0:10:210:10:22

Let's talk about Elizabeth.

0:10:220:10:24

She's been on the winning team seven times.

0:10:240:10:27

The one time she was project manager, she won it.

0:10:270:10:29

-Is she a contender, Patrick?

-I think she has good instinct.

0:10:290:10:32

You know, I think she makes good decisions

0:10:320:10:34

and she undermines them all by being completely

0:10:340:10:37

incapable of dealing with human beings in a very human way.

0:10:370:10:41

And that's a fundamental part of business.

0:10:410:10:43

You know, it's about working with other people

0:10:430:10:45

and getting the best out of other people.

0:10:450:10:47

And, you know, if she could be in a business of one I think

0:10:470:10:50

she would absolutely thrive,

0:10:500:10:51

but I don't suspect Lord Sugar's looking for a business that size.

0:10:510:10:54

I love her. I think she's...

0:10:540:10:56

-You're a fan of...

-..absolutely bonkers.

0:10:560:10:58

I think she's misunderstood, actually.

0:10:580:11:01

And...Lord Sugar has a soft spot for her.

0:11:010:11:05

That's my read of the situation.

0:11:050:11:07

-Yeah.

-So you think she might...

0:11:070:11:08

So I think she'll definitely be in the final and I think she's a good chance of winning it.

0:11:080:11:12

Elizabeth was chuffed to be on the winning team this week,

0:11:120:11:15

but as this bit of unseen footage shows,

0:11:150:11:17

she isn't one to make a song and dance about it.

0:11:170:11:19

LAUGHTER

0:11:260:11:28

£25,000 for our client!

0:11:280:11:31

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:11:320:11:34

Sarah - six wins, four losses for Sarah.

0:11:380:11:41

She's been back in the boardroom three times.

0:11:410:11:43

I'm not surprised Sarah's in the final five.

0:11:430:11:46

On the whole, she seems pretty sound.

0:11:460:11:48

-I think she's a competent individual.

-Yeah.

0:11:480:11:51

I think she makes decent decisions.

0:11:510:11:52

I think, you know, she's also an honest person.

0:11:520:11:55

If she's cocked something up, she'll admit it. She won't try...

0:11:550:11:58

You know, she won't add lies to lies and unravel herself.

0:11:580:12:02

She's not outstanding, but she's definitely,

0:12:020:12:05

-sort of, dependable, is my read.

-Yeah.

0:12:050:12:07

Er, so, Harrison, unfortunately Lord Sugar won't be investing in you,

0:12:070:12:10

but he does have this advice for your future.

0:12:100:12:12

Now, Harrison is a hard working fellow.

0:12:140:12:16

Didn't shirk any of the responsibilities in the tasks.

0:12:160:12:19

He even, actually, sung at Wembley.

0:12:190:12:21

But the problem in this particular task was

0:12:210:12:24

he threw his hands in the air because it was women's fashion.

0:12:240:12:28

And he didn't know anything about it.

0:12:280:12:29

But the business essence of it was sales, promotion,

0:12:290:12:34

presentation and marketing.

0:12:340:12:36

And, anyway, fundamentally, he's

0:12:360:12:38

so likeable that he's going to go a long way in business.

0:12:380:12:40

-That's nice.

-Yeah, I love that.

0:12:430:12:45

And what was your business plan?

0:12:450:12:46

I'm launching a healthy eating brand

0:12:460:12:49

starting with meal prep and launching in January, so...

0:12:490:12:52

-Good luck.

-..keep your eyes peeled. Thank you.

0:12:520:12:54

Er, well, Lord Sugar made his decision,

0:12:540:12:57

but does our panel feel it was the right one?

0:12:570:12:59

Patrick.

0:12:590:13:00

I think, throughout,

0:13:000:13:01

you've shown yourself to be a really decent guy, and...

0:13:010:13:04

..but this week you just shirked it,

0:13:040:13:06

-so I think it was the right decision.

-Cheers.

0:13:060:13:08

Similar. Extremely likeable, everyone gets on with him.

0:13:080:13:11

I think Lord Sugar would love to work with him, but, yeah,

0:13:110:13:13

no hiding this week.

0:13:130:13:15

-Thanks.

-OK. Dane?

0:13:150:13:17

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with the other panellists.

0:13:170:13:20

Think you've been good through the competition, but, yeah, as Lord Sugar said, in this particular task,

0:13:200:13:24

kind of threw your hands in the air,

0:13:240:13:26

kind of left your own fate in the hands of others.

0:13:260:13:29

-Whatever, innit?

-Whatever.

-Whatever!

0:13:290:13:31

LAUGHTER

0:13:310:13:33

It's time to find out what our audience thinks.

0:13:330:13:35

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

0:13:350:13:38

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

0:13:380:13:40

Ooh!

0:13:420:13:45

-Harrison, I'm afraid...

-It's a landslide.

-..it is red.

0:13:450:13:47

Now, er, Karren, at one point,

0:13:470:13:49

said that you were your own one-man fan club.

0:13:490:13:52

Ah!

0:13:520:13:53

So we have signed you up for a 12-month subscription to the

0:13:530:13:57

Harrison One-Man Fan Club.

0:13:570:13:59

Member one of one.

0:13:590:14:00

You've got your own hat, mate, with "I Love Harrison" on the front.

0:14:000:14:03

-Lovely. Cheers.

-Got a lovely T-shirt for you.

0:14:030:14:05

LAUGHTER

0:14:050:14:07

And of course, what fan club would

0:14:070:14:09

be complete without a newsletter?

0:14:090:14:12

This has got...

0:14:120:14:13

Look, it's got Harrison's fashion tips, where's that?

0:14:130:14:15

Let's have a look. Oh, that's blank.

0:14:150:14:17

LAUGHTER

0:14:170:14:19

It's even got a little letter to yourself from the editor, of course.

0:14:200:14:23

There's a picture of you, the editor.

0:14:230:14:25

"Dear Harrison, welcome to the first

0:14:250:14:27

"edition of the Harrison One-Man Fan Club newsletter.

0:14:270:14:30

"You may be wondering what I've been up to lately.

0:14:300:14:32

"Just been fired, so it's a bit quiet, to be honest."

0:14:320:14:34

LAUGHTER

0:14:340:14:36

-That is yours to keep, Harrison.

-Thank you.

0:14:360:14:38

-The only one-man fan club in the world.

-Cheers, thank you very much.

0:14:380:14:40

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:400:14:42

Been a great sport. Thanks for coming. Glad you really enjoyed it.

0:14:420:14:44

-Lovely.

-Let's have a look at your highlights.

-Thanks.

0:14:440:14:46

I've just been born.

0:14:460:14:48

Harrison, nice to meet you.

0:14:480:14:50

Harrison's a super nice guy. I've

0:14:500:14:52

never met anybody as warm as him.

0:14:520:14:54

-Two for 15, then.

-Yeah? Perfect.

0:14:540:14:56

-Cos you've smiled.

-Thank you!

0:14:560:14:57

-Well...

-There you go.

-..there we go.

0:14:570:14:59

-Other paw?

-Oh!

-Yay!

0:14:590:15:00

-Well done, we performed.

-Yeah.

-Well done, everybody.

0:15:000:15:02

He's kind, he's got a huge heart,

0:15:020:15:04

and he's a gentleman, as well.

0:15:040:15:06

I take a lot of positives from that.

0:15:060:15:07

I'm happy to go two packs each.

0:15:070:15:09

Thank you very much.

0:15:090:15:10

The way they've mixed in new buildings

0:15:100:15:12

with the old is literally ingenious.

0:15:120:15:14

Healthy, kicking, chicken curry.

0:15:140:15:16

I think gold ghost.

0:15:160:15:18

That's my main concern at the moment, chickens, funnily enough.

0:15:180:15:20

# I did it...

0:15:200:15:21

# My way. #

0:15:210:15:25

Harrison's the greatest gentleman in the house.

0:15:250:15:27

He's polite, kind and courteous,

0:15:270:15:29

and his mother should be proud of him.

0:15:290:15:31

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw...

0:15:310:15:33

Ladies and gentlemen, Harrison Jones!

0:15:360:15:38

Hot on Harrison's Louboutin heels, the second candidate to get

0:15:410:15:44

Kate Moss to ride out of the process was poor Jade.

0:15:440:15:47

Jade, this was a big mess-up.

0:15:470:15:51

I've definitely been able to prove myself on the other tasks, though.

0:15:510:15:54

-And the business plan...

-Yeah, Jade, I don't want to hear any more.

0:15:540:15:57

I'm sorry. You're fired.

0:15:570:15:59

Thank you for the opportunity, it's been unbelievable. Thank you.

0:15:590:16:02

Please welcome Jade English!

0:16:100:16:12

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:120:16:13

Hello.

0:16:200:16:21

How are you feeling, Jade?

0:16:230:16:25

Oh, I'm gutted that I'm not there in the final five but, yeah,

0:16:250:16:29

it was such an amazing experience.

0:16:290:16:31

Did you think you'd be in the final five?

0:16:310:16:34

Do you know what, I thought after I'd project managed,

0:16:340:16:36

I got the highest win of the series,

0:16:360:16:38

I was, like, absolutely, I've bossed it, of course I'm going to make it.

0:16:380:16:41

And then when I didn't...

0:16:410:16:43

Yeah, I was really gutted, to be fair.

0:16:430:16:45

You lost by 3,000 quid.

0:16:450:16:48

-I know!

-You don't muck about.

0:16:480:16:50

-When you lose, you lose.

-Yeah, but when I win, I win, right?

0:16:500:16:53

That's it. You win big, you lose big.

0:16:530:16:56

Patrick, you're our fashion expert.

0:16:560:16:58

-Is she unlucky to be sat here or not?

-I think she's unlucky.

0:16:580:17:01

I think she got chucked under the bus royally by her team-mates,

0:17:010:17:05

who had no intention of taking this task on.

0:17:050:17:08

I think you made a decision at the beginning which I think

0:17:080:17:12

a lot of people would have made.

0:17:120:17:13

You were lured into the sort of glitz

0:17:130:17:16

and glamour of the high ticket fashion which I think

0:17:160:17:18

a lot of people would have made the same mistake.

0:17:180:17:20

That was the undoing of the entire task.

0:17:200:17:22

After that, there was nothing that could have been done to win it,

0:17:220:17:25

-I don't think.

-Dane, if you got fired, what would your exit be?

0:17:250:17:28

Would you go quietly?

0:17:280:17:30

I'll be honest, I think you handled that in a very dignified manner,

0:17:300:17:33

Jade, cos if I was fired, I'd have been going mental.

0:17:330:17:36

I'd have personally been going crazy, been very vocal

0:17:360:17:39

and been like, "I'll tell you something else,

0:17:390:17:41

"Alan Sugar, most of these people owned a Commodore.

0:17:410:17:43

"I had an Amstrad." And then maybe,

0:17:430:17:45

as I was being dragged out by security,

0:17:450:17:47

I'd be like, "Well, you know something, Lord Sugar?

0:17:470:17:49

"I support Arsenal anyway."

0:17:490:17:51

So, despite her passion for fashion, Jade managed to lead her team

0:17:520:17:55

all the way down the catwalk and straight into its litter tray.

0:17:550:17:59

Let's see where it all went wrong.

0:17:590:18:01

Jade, I mean, she has admitted she made a mistake on this,

0:18:010:18:05

-made a mistake on that.

-We can ask if we could offer a discount.

0:18:050:18:08

-Discount to the buyer?

-Yeah.

0:18:080:18:09

We can't offer any discounts because we haven't...

0:18:090:18:12

Well, I haven't negotiated that.

0:18:120:18:14

It says Hellavagirl, is that who you're talking about?

0:18:140:18:16

When we've spoken to her, she'd wanted to put Helen Woollams.

0:18:160:18:19

OK, fine.

0:18:190:18:21

My only issue is it's Helen Woollams as opposed to Hellavagirl.

0:18:210:18:24

I think, as project manager, Jade took on a lot

0:18:250:18:28

of the responsibility

0:18:280:18:29

and she wasn't strong enough to see it through.

0:18:290:18:31

You're not going to be able to get this

0:18:310:18:33

anywhere else, and have

0:18:330:18:35

that really quality-based ingredient.

0:18:350:18:38

I have no idea what Jade's talking about.

0:18:380:18:41

I don't think they do, either.

0:18:410:18:43

Jade, you admitted all of the errors

0:18:430:18:47

and mistakes that were made in this task.

0:18:470:18:50

Lots to talk about there but let's start from the beginning.

0:18:500:18:53

You chose the designer.

0:18:530:18:54

Difficult clothes, I guess, if you're not an expert to sell,

0:18:540:18:57

-to describe.

-Yeah, definitely.

0:18:570:19:00

So, I think that was the most uncomfortable part for me

0:19:000:19:04

because I didn't necessarily know what each piece was about.

0:19:040:19:08

-So I had to make it up as I went along.

-Yeah.

0:19:080:19:11

It was painful, wasn't it?

0:19:110:19:13

"Look at these, ladies and gentlemen,

0:19:130:19:15

"fresh, quality ingredients."

0:19:150:19:17

I know, when I said "ingredients,"

0:19:170:19:19

-I was thinking, "Oh, that was last week's task."

-Last week's food task.

0:19:190:19:24

The other team had it so easy, didn't they?

0:19:240:19:26

The other team were, like, "Here we go, a pair of trousers.

0:19:260:19:29

"Oh, look, a top."

0:19:290:19:31

Angela, if you had to represent a designer,

0:19:310:19:33

would you have gone for that kind of thing, or...?

0:19:330:19:36

This is going to sound terrible,

0:19:360:19:38

would you have gone for something a bit more low-end?

0:19:380:19:40

I think somewhere in the middle.

0:19:400:19:42

You don't want to go to kind of too low where you're competing

0:19:420:19:45

with the high street, cos you can never compete

0:19:450:19:48

with the high street, in terms of pricing.

0:19:480:19:50

But, yeah, somewhere in the middle,

0:19:500:19:52

somewhere that has a good origin story, that has a collaboration,

0:19:520:19:54

that has something interesting to talk about, maybe a new fabric.

0:19:540:19:58

But it's really difficult to sell at that price point

0:19:580:20:02

and it's quite intimidating.

0:20:020:20:03

I think for you, even in terms of describing it and selling it,

0:20:030:20:06

and the language that surrounds it, and then the audience looked...

0:20:060:20:11

-slightly dumbfounded.

-You're surrounded by people like Patrick

0:20:110:20:14

who know this industry. It must have been so intimidating.

0:20:140:20:16

You know, you didn't pick up on the fact that she went by this

0:20:160:20:19

brand Hellavagirl and that's what she wanted to be promoted as.

0:20:190:20:22

You sort of got away with it.

0:20:220:20:23

There was a lovely moment where you sort of fudged it, said,

0:20:230:20:26

"Oh, we're trying to promote the designer, go beyond the brand."

0:20:260:20:29

-I mean, total bollocks, wasn't it?

-A little bit.

0:20:290:20:32

So, when they brought that up in the pitch, at Stylist, I think

0:20:320:20:36

you could see on my face thinking...

0:20:360:20:38

"Oh... Oh, no. What has happened here?"

0:20:380:20:41

So, moving forward, when Helen came up to me, I thought, right...

0:20:410:20:45

Yeah, I mean, I've got put my hands up here.

0:20:460:20:49

-Take those balloons down right now.

-Jade got sort of...

0:20:490:20:52

They sort of got away with it, the designer took it very well,

0:20:520:20:54

and quite good at lying. I mean, creative excuses.

0:20:540:20:59

Would you have been good in that environment, could you have

0:20:590:21:01

come up with something there?

0:21:010:21:02

I would have definitely come up with some creative excuses.

0:21:020:21:05

I'm someone, Jade, I never tell lies. I always tell the truth.

0:21:050:21:07

Doesn't mean that my truthful answer is the answer

0:21:070:21:09

to your question at the time, but it's always the truth.

0:21:090:21:12

Like, for example, "Hey, Dane, why are you late for work?"

0:21:120:21:14

"My grandad died."

0:21:140:21:15

That happened in 1997. But, still...

0:21:150:21:18

Therefore it's not a lie.

0:21:180:21:20

Well, Jade may not have got everything right this week but it's

0:21:200:21:24

not easy when you're essentially operating as a one-woman sub team.

0:21:240:21:28

# All by myself... #

0:21:320:21:37

Oh. There we go.

0:21:370:21:40

You made Harrison's day.

0:21:400:21:42

# Don't want to live

0:21:420:21:44

# All by myself... #

0:21:440:21:48

Yes, Elizabeth!

0:21:480:21:49

# Celebrate good times, come on! #

0:21:490:21:51

# ..any more

0:21:510:21:53

# All by myself... #

0:21:550:21:56

APPLAUSE

0:21:560:21:58

So, let's talk about the final five a little bit.

0:22:000:22:02

Joanna is the candidate I can tell you with the strongest record.

0:22:020:22:06

Statistically, out of 10, she's got eight wins.

0:22:060:22:09

You and Joanna, famously, you've had your ups and downs.

0:22:090:22:13

I can't remember any ups.

0:22:130:22:14

Was it hard to be beaten by her this week?

0:22:140:22:17

Do you know what, I think we're both just quite similar people in

0:22:170:22:20

the fact that we're both fighting for the same ambition,

0:22:200:22:24

and we do have strong personalities

0:22:240:22:25

and sometimes you can't get on with everybody in business. And it sucks.

0:22:250:22:29

I would have loved to have got on with everybody in the process

0:22:290:22:32

but you can't. And I wish her all the best. So, there you go.

0:22:320:22:36

Angela, would you like to see Joanna in the final?

0:22:360:22:38

No.

0:22:380:22:39

LAUGHTER

0:22:390:22:41

No, I really want to bring her home and give her a cup of tea.

0:22:410:22:45

She looks like she's going to cry every time I look at her.

0:22:450:22:48

She may buckle under the interrogation in the interview

0:22:480:22:50

stage. I just can't see her ploughing through that.

0:22:500:22:53

What do you think, Patrick? Joanna at the interview stage.

0:22:530:22:56

Yeah, I think she definitely appears a little fragile. And...

0:22:560:23:01

You know, I haven't seen much of her that I've been madly impressed by.

0:23:010:23:06

I think she seems like a perfectly nice person but I can't...

0:23:060:23:10

I can't see where the fire is.

0:23:100:23:13

Michaela? Four losses, six wins.

0:23:130:23:15

You know, I think the way she dealt with...with a customer who...

0:23:150:23:19

..who said no wasn't entirely the most professional.

0:23:190:23:24

But I like her. She is a straight talker,

0:23:240:23:27

she looks like she wants to roll her sleeves up and get stuck in.

0:23:270:23:30

She's all about the hustle and she's all about the graft,

0:23:300:23:33

and I think Lord Sugar really responds to that sort of ethic.

0:23:330:23:35

Can you see her going through the interview stage?

0:23:350:23:38

I think she has a really good chance, yeah.

0:23:380:23:40

So, Jade, unfortunately, Lord Sugar will not be investing in you

0:23:400:23:44

but he does have this advice for your future.

0:23:440:23:46

Now, Jade has been an avid seller throughout the whole of the process.

0:23:470:23:51

She's been very enthusiastic and always got stuck into sales.

0:23:510:23:55

Now, sometimes her enthusiasm detracts her from

0:23:550:23:59

working on the detail.

0:23:590:24:01

In this particular task, for example, she focused

0:24:010:24:05

on the designer's name

0:24:050:24:06

rather than the designer's brand name.

0:24:060:24:09

In business, the devil is always in the detail.

0:24:090:24:12

And Jade needs to focus on detail, I think, in future.

0:24:120:24:16

And, if she does that, she should do very well in her business career.

0:24:160:24:20

What was your business plan, Jade?

0:24:220:24:24

It's a revolutionary website that will help people

0:24:240:24:26

fulfil their career dreams.

0:24:260:24:28

However, I'm going to follow up with my broadcast journalism degree

0:24:280:24:32

while seeking investment in my business still.

0:24:320:24:34

-OK, good luck with that.

-Thank you.

-Well, Lord Sugar made his decision

0:24:340:24:37

but does our panel feel it was the right one? Patrick?

0:24:370:24:40

Despite a bit of a clanger this time, I think

0:24:400:24:42

throughout the process you've been one of the stronger candidates,

0:24:420:24:46

and I would have hired you.

0:24:460:24:47

-Angela?

-I agree.

0:24:470:24:49

I think Lord Sugar should have given Jade a break this week.

0:24:490:24:52

There were definitely weaker candidates on both teams

0:24:520:24:55

-and she just got a little bit unlucky, I think.

-Dane?

0:24:550:24:58

I feel like, in this instance, he made a good decision

0:24:580:25:01

but when you juxtapose the decision for that week with

0:25:010:25:04

all of your previous work, I don't think it was particularly fair.

0:25:040:25:07

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

0:25:070:25:09

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

0:25:090:25:11

-If you disagree, hold up "Hired".

-I can see you all.

0:25:110:25:14

-Look at that. I think that's green.

-Yeah, definitely hired!

0:25:170:25:22

It is definitely green, you are hired!

0:25:220:25:24

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:240:25:26

Well, Jade, nobody leaves here empty-handed,

0:25:270:25:30

so I thought I'd get you a beautiful dress.

0:25:300:25:32

Unfortunately, I'm not a very good negotiator. And I only negotiated...

0:25:320:25:37

..10% of a dress.

0:25:370:25:39

If you'd like to stand up, Jade.

0:25:410:25:43

-I mean, the dress was fantastic that this sleeve came off.

-I love it.

0:25:430:25:48

If you'd like to pop that on...

0:25:480:25:50

-So chic.

-There. That is it.

0:25:500:25:52

How about that, ladies and gentlemen?

0:25:520:25:54

10% of a beautiful dress.

0:25:540:25:56

Jade, thanks for coming on the show, you've been a great sport,

0:25:560:25:59

let's have a look at your highlights.

0:25:590:26:01

Jade, nice to meet you.

0:26:010:26:02

This is so much fun!

0:26:020:26:04

Thank you, Tom!

0:26:040:26:05

Action!

0:26:050:26:06

Jade is kind. Jade is giving.

0:26:060:26:09

Jade is funny.

0:26:090:26:10

-I've just done his bottom.

-Have you?

0:26:100:26:13

But, more to the point, Jade's very talented.

0:26:130:26:15

One...two...

0:26:150:26:17

I know I'm handsy but that's handsy.

0:26:170:26:19

Turn a negative into a positive.

0:26:190:26:21

And I'm going to pitch my bum off.

0:26:210:26:23

Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:26:230:26:25

Jade's fantastic and,

0:26:250:26:26

yeah, she's just got a real energy about her.

0:26:260:26:29

SHE SCREAMS

0:26:290:26:30

Give us a "Grr!"

0:26:300:26:31

Jade is, in every way,

0:26:310:26:33

a fabulous human being.

0:26:330:26:35

Cheers!

0:26:360:26:37

Ladies and gentlemen, Jade English!

0:26:410:26:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:440:26:45

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

0:26:480:26:51

Patrick Grant, Angela Scanlon, and Dane Baptiste.

0:26:510:26:54

And if you think you have what it takes to be Lord Sugar's business

0:26:580:27:00

partner, applications are still open to take part in next year's series.

0:27:000:27:04

Head over to:

0:27:040:27:07

for more details.

0:27:070:27:08

Next week, our five remaining candidates

0:27:080:27:10

take on their toughest task yet.

0:27:100:27:12

Head-to-head interviews with Lord Sugar's most trusted aides.

0:27:120:27:15

An experience so harsh it makes the boardroom

0:27:150:27:18

look like an episode of the Antiques Roadshow.

0:27:180:27:20

I've asked four of my most trusted business advisers to go

0:27:200:27:24

over your plans. So you better hope everything is in order.

0:27:240:27:29

Just get through it, don't be sick.

0:27:290:27:31

My business structure is very, very... Um...

0:27:310:27:34

How do you feel about confrontation?

0:27:350:27:37

Fine.

0:27:370:27:38

This makes you look like a rank amateur.

0:27:380:27:42

# The final countdown... #

0:27:420:27:45

You've got no product.

0:27:450:27:47

Nobody's perfect. I'm sure there's things

0:27:470:27:48

-that you're not good at, Claude.

-Really?

0:27:480:27:50

Much of it simply didn't work.

0:27:500:27:53

-Your flowers don't look that special to me.

-Well, I thank you for that.

0:27:530:27:56

Oh, my God.

0:27:560:27:58

-You don't know how much you don't know because you don't know.

-Yeah.

0:27:580:28:02

-Did they sack you?

-They did, yeah.

0:28:020:28:04

I think you should take your tone down.

0:28:040:28:07

HE GRUNTS

0:28:070:28:09

Thought you said she was nice!

0:28:100:28:11

SHE SIGHS

0:28:110:28:12

Join me next Wednesday at 10pm for more You're Fired. Goodnight.
