0:00:02 > 0:00:03I'm not impressed with any of you.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06This is a bloody shambles. You didn't follow the money.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10I've got two teams here and they're both rubbish. You're fired.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Good evening. Good evening and welcome to You're Fired.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30I'm Rhod Gilbert. In this week's task the final five candidates
0:00:30 > 0:00:35competing for a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar face their toughest test yet.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Bruising encounters with Lord Sugar's most trusted advisers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41CVs were ripped apart and business plans trashed
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and Michaela almost came unstuck
0:00:44 > 0:00:48when the 47 espressos she'd had for breakfast all kicked in at once.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50LAUGHTER
0:00:52 > 0:00:55And James came up with a novel approach to get
0:00:55 > 0:00:57rid of the competition.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58LAUGHTER
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Here to help us make sense of the interview process
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and figure out who will be captain of industry in five years'
0:01:04 > 0:01:08time and who will be a bowl of fruit, please welcome this week's
0:01:08 > 0:01:10panel of Apprentice fans and guests.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Fresh from putting the fear of God into our remaining candidates,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15be afraid, be very afraid, it's Mike Soutar.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Be less afraid by TV presenter and broadcaster June Sarpong.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And don't be afraid at all - it's comedian Hugh Dennis.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24APPLAUSE
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Mike, you were there.- I certainly was.- How do you think it went this week?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It was absolutely vintage, wasn't it?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36You had candidates all fighting for their lives.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You had business plans being absolutely torn to shreds.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44And then you had, I think, one of the most nail-biting final three
0:01:44 > 0:01:48decisions that I think Lord Sugar has ever had to make.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- June?- I really felt it for the Apprentices this week.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57I thought that you guys were so hard. And I think they handled themselves well.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58OK. Hugh?
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Did you think that some of them, in terms of the stuff that they'd never revealed,
0:02:02 > 0:02:08you go, "Have you ever watched The Apprentice?" You go, "Why didn't you just hide that?"
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Don't have it on your website.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14The first of our three candidates to crumble under the weight
0:02:14 > 0:02:16of interrogation was poor Joanna.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Take this as good advice from me. Go and get a job in that industry.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Learn it inside out and then do what you want to do.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28But at this moment in time,
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Joanna, I have to say to you that you will not be my business partner.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39- And, regretfully, you're fired. - Thank you. Good luck, Joanna. - Thank you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I appreciate it more than you know. - Don't give up your dream.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45If you still have the passion for it, go for it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47All right. Thank you very much.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Please welcome Joanna Jarjue.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Feeling good?- Yeah, good.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, first up, how are you feeling?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Yeah, good. I mean, I'm really disappointed.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I was there for the 250K, but, I mean,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm really proud of how far I've got,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16so I'm just grateful to have got that far.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Mike, you interviewed Joanna. She survived.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Yes, she absolutely did.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I mean, Joanna, you really did give as good as you got.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I thought there were some flaws within your business plan.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I think you hadn't done enough research, really,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33to back up the claims that you had within there,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37so what that meant was that you were left with a great idea in fashion,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- but just not a good enough business plan.- Yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You did have a great record.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think it was eight tasks you won and two you lost.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47So, June, the strongest record on paper of all...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Did you see Joanna getting fired this week?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Well, it wasn't a case of whether or not I saw Joanna getting fired.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I think, without question, you are a rock star.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I mean, to win eight out of ten is unbelievable.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01And I think one of the things that, perhaps,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04you should have said was that you are the customer,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06so that in itself is why you know
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- that there is a need for this sort of brand.- Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I think, in the interview process, it seemed like they just didn't
0:04:13 > 0:04:15let you talk, so there was all that stuff about,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18"Where are you getting it from? What wholesaler? Where's the wholesaler?"
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Yeah.- And I just wanted them to be quiet for a minute
0:04:22 > 0:04:24and to actually hear what you were going to say.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So where were you going to source it from?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28More of all that in a second. LAUGHTER
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Don't you start, don't you start,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- don't you start!- Where ARE you going to source it from?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34More of that in a minute,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- more of the detail in just a moment. - You've got nothing! Nothing!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Joanna came, she saw, she sat down, she went up in a lift,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44went down in a lift, came in again, sat down,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46stood up, left, went in, sat down, went down an escalator,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49went back up an escalator and then went home in a taxi.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Let's see where it all went wrong.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Joanna, she wants to start a fashion business.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Has she got a shop? Has she got a warehouse?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56She has nothing.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I want you to explain to me how you would go about it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I would call wholesalers and see if they can send me some catalogues
0:05:01 > 0:05:03of the kind of things that they actually stock.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Yeah. They won't send you a catalogue
0:05:05 > 0:05:07because it just doesn't work that way.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Where are you going to get these products from?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11So, that would be ad hoc from wholesalers.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Ad hoc from wholesalers?!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17She has zero experience of the industry which she wants to enter.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Have you got a business without the product?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23That's an obvious no.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24You can't just suddenly wake up
0:05:24 > 0:05:26one Monday morning and say,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30"You know what, I'm going to start an online fashion business."
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That interview with Linda...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yeah, I knew what was coming, I... - Savage!- I knew what was coming,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41and it was actually me that had warned the other candidates
0:05:41 > 0:05:44and I was like, "I've seen Linda interview people before,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47"and she's like, That's rubbish!"
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I've never seen her...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50AS A DALEK: "Do you have a business? Do you? Do you?"
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It was like a bloody Dalek!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56"You have nothing without the product!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57"Do you, Joanna?!"
0:05:57 > 0:06:02It was literally like that and I said that to the other candidates.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I was like, "She will literally make you forget your hopes and dreams,"
0:06:06 > 0:06:09because you walk out of there, thinking "Well, actually,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13"no, I don't have a business, no actually, I don't have a product."
0:06:13 > 0:06:15But Lord Sugar made me remember again in the boardroom.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, he said, "Don't forget your hopes and dreams.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20HIGHPITCHED: "Don't forget your hopes and dreams, Joanna."
0:06:20 > 0:06:21"I won't, Lord Sugar!"
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It went all Christmassy.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Lord Sugar told Joanna to go off
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and get a job in the fashion industry
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and then sort of build from there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, I think he give her great advice
0:06:31 > 0:06:35and I think, for anybody who has a fashion business
0:06:35 > 0:06:39that is watching right now, you are someone to hire.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Mike, you've got a few bob, I think you should hire her.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Yes, Mike!- We can have a chat after.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47What a great end to the show that would be!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50You could do the hired thing. You're hired. Brilliant.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Unfortunately, Joanna, Lord Sugar won't be investing in you,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55but he does have this advice for your future.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Now, Joanna is very impressive.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02As the youngest candidate in this process,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05she's very strong-willed, she is very driven.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Now, the problem is that she wants
0:07:07 > 0:07:10to move into the fashion industry.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12While she's interested in it,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14she has no experience of it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I mean, if she wants to do it,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19she needs to go off and get a job somewhere in the industry
0:07:19 > 0:07:21and, once she has learned that,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23then she can apply it to her own business
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and I'm sure that if she is that determined,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28she will go on and be very successful.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Good advice?- Yes, definitely good advice,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38but my passion is still workwear, so, Mike...
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Do you want me to model?- Yes!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Can I ask you one quick question?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46So, this workwear, where are you sourcing it from?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Em...!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Lord Sugar made his decision.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Does our panel feel it was the right one? Mike?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Joanna, you so earned your place in the final five,
0:07:57 > 0:08:02but unfortunately, at the end of the day, you didn't have a business plan
0:08:02 > 0:08:06that was ultimately investable, so, reluctantly, I have to agree.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- OK.- June?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I agree with Mike.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11You didn't have the business plan and I really think you should
0:08:11 > 0:08:15go and work for somebody first and then do your business.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Like, for example, Lord Sugar.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yes!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Let's try to find out what our audience thinks.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired" now.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25If you disagree, hold up "hired", please.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Joanna, it is red, I'm afraid.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It is. The audience agrees.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35However, thanks for coming on the show.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Thank you. - You've been a great sport.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I'm glad you enjoyed the process. We've enjoyed having you here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Like me, little but feisty.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I would love to be project manager.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Joanna is very serious, really driven,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51really, really, really mature for her age.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53£25, will that be OK?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- That's great, yeah. - OK, brilliant.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Hello, would you like any candyfloss?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Good luck, everybody.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00This first dish that we've got
0:09:00 > 0:09:02doesn't necessarily have pea in it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05As I've got to know Joanna, she's just such a fun girl.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07She is really spirited and smiley.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh!
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Rugelach!
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Oh-ho-ho-ho!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- BOTH:- Ohh!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Tears of joy?- Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17It's absolutely incredible.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Is there such a thing as a tree with fur?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Aw!- How does it feel, watching that back?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Really nice, really, really nice.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's showing me how much of a journey that I've been on,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32so, yeah, I just loved it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Now, a lot of people laughed when you asked
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- if there were such a thing as... - A fur tree.- ..a fur tree.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Well, look that way and I shall get your gift.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I looked into it and, I tell you what,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46those people will be laughing on the other side of their faces.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50People will be laughing on the other side of their face.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I had no idea. There is such a thing as a tree with fur.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56There is such a thing as a tree with fur!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00That is Joanna's fur tree. That is there for you to keep.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Honestly, I was one of the laughers.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I am laughing on the other side of my face.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Ladies and gentlemen, Joanna Jarjue!- Thank you!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Well, hot on Joanna's heels,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14the second candidate to wilt under the intense pressure
0:10:14 > 0:10:19of the interview panel was our very own sunflower, florist Elizabeth.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22The backbone of the economy of this country
0:10:22 > 0:10:26is made up of people like you, but you know I'm interested
0:10:26 > 0:10:32in big business and, at this stage, I can't see the scaling up,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37so it is with regret, you're fired.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Thank you, all, it's been my honour and my pleasure.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Best of luck. - The very best of luck to you.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Thank you.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Please welcome Elizabeth McKenna.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Grab a seat.
0:11:02 > 0:11:0411 long weeks in the process.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Did it end as you anticipated it would end?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09It was beyond my wildest dreams to have got to the final five
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and I'm so pleased to have got that far.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Aw, you seem really emotional.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- I am!- Yeah, you are. - I really, really am, yes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Lord Sugar fired you, of course. - He did.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21But in the same instant he said he really liked you as a person.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Did that take the edge off it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23No.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25LAUGHTER
0:11:25 > 0:11:27June, Elizabeth has been enormously popular.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Were you sad to see her go?- I was.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I've got to say, you really do give as good as you get, don't you?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I mean, the whole argy-bargy with Linda, I was loving it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'd pay good money to watch that again!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, for 11 weeks, florist Elizabeth has kept us entertained
0:11:44 > 0:11:47and woven herself inextricably into our hearts and minds,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49like a Japanese knotweed.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53But this week Lord Sugar decided her time was up,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55so let's see where it all went wrong.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Elizabeth runs three small florists.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Her business plan is to expand into
0:12:01 > 0:12:03a nationwide delivery service.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You need to send flowers to somebody,
0:12:05 > 0:12:06I send them for you nationally.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08So, that's what Lord Sugar has got to...
0:12:08 > 0:12:09It is a very simple idea.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I think it is a bit too simple, actually.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15You are describing an online florist.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17You're doing nothing different,
0:12:17 > 0:12:18so far as I can see.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You are absolutely impossible
0:12:20 > 0:12:21- to work with.- Right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's been a trauma to actually watch you
0:12:24 > 0:12:27throughout every single task, just taking over.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30She's probably brilliant working on her own,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32but in partnership, I would have some question marks.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34She might try and fire me!
0:12:34 > 0:12:37My concern is there are so many other people
0:12:37 > 0:12:38in the flower business,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41there doesn't seem to be any USP there.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Let's start with the USP bit.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Do you sort of take what they are saying there?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Absolutely, taken on board.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I went back to my shop and I've come up with a unique USP,
0:12:52 > 0:12:53which I think is very different
0:12:53 > 0:12:55from what is currently on offer in the market.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ooh, are you allowed to tell us?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00It's the way that we design things and the deliverability of them.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04People can actually see the size and what they are getting.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07OK, so, you reckon you have got the USP thing dealt with.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08I hope I have, yes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12But if Mike would like to look at it again, I'd be really pleased.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Pass it across, he's not busy!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Linda and Claude were tough, Mike, but I thought you
0:13:17 > 0:13:22were below the belt when you started reading Elizabeth's online reviews.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I mean, Hugh, as a comedian, Hugh, there is nothing in the world
0:13:26 > 0:13:28worse than having to read your own online reviews,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31never mind have them read to you by somebody like Mike!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Well, through a tannoy system at Waterloo station or something,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- but no, awful. - Did you enjoy it?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40The whole process, how much have you enjoyed it?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I very much enjoyed it from start to finish.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I've had the biggest of highs and the biggest of lows,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47it's been great, it's been epic. Epic!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's fair to say you've been a standout character.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I don't think there would be anybody at home,
0:13:52 > 0:13:53going, "Which one is Elizabeth again?"
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I'm a bit difficult to miss, put it that way.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Elizabeth, so close, yet so far. No investment from Lord Sugar,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03but he does have this advice for your future.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Elizabeth, well, what a great character, what a great person.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Stark raving bonkers,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14but then again, that's what you get in life
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and what she showed was her passion
0:14:16 > 0:14:19that she wanted all the tasks to go right
0:14:19 > 0:14:23and sometimes she kind of drowned everybody out
0:14:23 > 0:14:26and didn't allow people to do anything else.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29She just needs to be a little less bossy, more collaborative,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31and I'm sure she will go on and be very successful.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37What is your take on that?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Maybe it seemed I was taking things over a little bit,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41but maybe that's because I was coming up with ideas
0:14:41 > 0:14:43and people said, "Go with it."
0:14:43 > 0:14:44If you let me take the lead, I will,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47but if you can give me something to do, give me a job and I'll do it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50That's what I'm about. Give me a job and I will get it done.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So, you said you are pushing ahead with this business plan?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yes, I've been in my business for ten years
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and I intend to continue on with it.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Our online range is there and it is active
0:14:58 > 0:15:01and we are working with businesses, we are working with private clients
0:15:01 > 0:15:02and we are doing really well.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm looking forward to the future, it's really exciting.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- Great. Good luck with it. - Thank you.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Lord Sugar made his decision, of course,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10but does our panel feel it was the right one?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Now then, Mike?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Elizabeth, I think you have been such a strong candidate
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and such a strong character
0:15:16 > 0:15:20and I love the fact that you spoke your mind the entire time.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I think you were right to get to this stage,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25but I think it was right to jettison you at this point.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I think you would have probably given Lord Sugar an ulcer
0:15:28 > 0:15:31if he had become your business partner,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- so I'm agreeing with him on this one.- June?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah, well, I disagree with Claude.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38I do not think you were a trauma to watch,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- I think you are an absolute joy to watch.- Thank you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44But I agree with Mike and I agree with Lord Sugar.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I don't see how you scale this business to the heights
0:15:47 > 0:15:49that Lord Sugar needed to invest.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Thank you.- Hugh?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I think that there is sort of unfair criticism, you know,
0:15:55 > 0:15:56"It's just an online florist,"
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and the criticism about, "You'd think you'd set up a website."
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Well, that is coming from Lord Sugar
0:16:00 > 0:16:03who, when he wants the candidates in the mornings,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05he phones one of them on a home phone.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09He hasn't even set up a WhatsApp group!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12LAUGHTER
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I think you were fantastic to watch, but I do think, actually,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18at that stage, that was probably right.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Time to find out what our audience thinks.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22If you agree with Lord Sugar hold up "fired",
0:16:22 > 0:16:24if you disagree, hold up "hired" now, please.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29That looks very close to me. What do you think, Elizabeth?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, I'll leave it to you because you're the judge,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- but I know what I'm... - In that case, it's fired.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35LAUGHTER
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I mean, if you've learned nothing,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39don't leave anything to anybody else, Elizabeth!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It is fired, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45But as you know, no-one leaves You're Fired empty-handed.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Lord Sugar has referred to The Elizabeth Show
0:16:48 > 0:16:49many times during this process,
0:16:49 > 0:16:55so we have got you a fabulous DVD box set of The Elizabeth Show.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Wacky fun for all the family.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Follow Elizabeth as she bosses her way from one task to another
0:17:00 > 0:17:01in her own hilarious new sitcom.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Starring Elizabeth, directed by Elizabeth,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07commentary by Elizabeth, DVD extras - more Elizabeth.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- That is yours to take home and keep. - Thank you.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Elizabeth, thanks for coming on, we've enjoyed having you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16To infinity and beyond!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18My God, what a rollercoaster!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I guess it's something to do with being a florist.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Are they usually this crazy?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Yes!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Because, I mean, I've never... - LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It's no wonder I'm blinking barking mad!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Bash this enough, we won't have to remix.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34She is just fantastic and she's really pragmatic
0:17:34 > 0:17:38and focused and a real asset to a team.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Doom-doo-doo! Deal! Thanks.- Thanks very much.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Oh, my good God!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45She's either really, really serious...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47People can play with it, you can pick it up, you can put it down.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Or she is...just...Elizabeth!
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Get out of the way, get out of the way!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Yes!
0:17:55 > 0:17:56We absolutely bossed it!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Ladies and gentlemen, Elizabeth McKenna!
0:18:02 > 0:18:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Well, with Joanna and Elizabeth gone,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09there were just three candidates left
0:18:09 > 0:18:10and, after a tough final fight,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14it was Michaela who bolted off to Bolton.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20Michaela, this business has got to be 100% with me.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I don't want you being defocused somewhere else.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, whether I'm right or wrong...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30..Michaela, you're fired.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32No worries, thanks very much.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- You are very, very welcome. - It's been emotional.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- I wish you the best of luck. - Thank you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40When we're building our next site,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I will come onto this website of yours, OK?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Four grand, though, no mates' rates!
0:18:45 > 0:18:46LAUGHTER
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Please welcome Michaela Wain.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Michaela, Michaela, no-nonsense, straight-talking Michaela.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12In your usual direct manner, how are you feeling?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Em... Yeah, I'm buzzing, actually.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I was obviously a little bit gutted that I got fired,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I sort of think it was unjust,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26but, yeah, yeah, no, I'm pleased that I came third.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Lord Sugar said he would come to you when he is building his next site.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- You said no mates' rates. - Yeah, I stand by it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I might even charge a premium because he fired me.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Was the main reason Michaela got fired, Mike,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42seemed to be that she was already
0:19:42 > 0:19:45working 23 hours and 59 minutes a day on 400 other businesses?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Is that what it came down to?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I think it was certainly an element.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50You left a doubt, I think,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53in Lord Sugar's mind about whether your full focus
0:19:53 > 0:19:55could the on the new business, but I think, as well,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58what you underestimated was the scale of competition
0:19:58 > 0:20:02you would enter with your website that does tendering.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07The competitors there have hundreds of researchers
0:20:07 > 0:20:11working on the business and the idea that you could go in and compete
0:20:11 > 0:20:15with just ten left you looking a little bit under-resourced.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I do disagree with that point, though, just saying.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Because if everybody thought the way that you lot see things,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22of, "Oh, these businesses are so large,"
0:20:22 > 0:20:24then nobody would go on to start a new company
0:20:24 > 0:20:27if you were worried about your competition.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I think you're right, but your proposition
0:20:29 > 0:20:31has to be really clearly different.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33What you weren't able to do in the interview process
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- was convince us otherwise.- Yeah, yeah, no, I appreciate your opinion.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I'm loving this business tennis!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I appreciate your thinking, but I think you are wrong.- 30-30!
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Hugh, Michaela has obviously been a very, very popular candidate.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Would you have liked to have seen her in the final?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I really, really would.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Aw, thank you, Hugh! - Yeah, but again,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56the weakness, which is that you've got these other 600 businesses,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58would you be able to focus?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I would've thought the thing to do is to go,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05"Yeah, I will employ you and I want the rights to every business
0:21:05 > 0:21:07"you come up with in the next two years."
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Actually thinking of new things, that's the difficult bit.- Always.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11And then making them successful,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14which is what I do all the time, Mike.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Come on, it's panto season!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Well, Michaela has worn her heart very visibly on her sleeve
0:21:28 > 0:21:30and her glasses very visibly on her face.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32This week she was very visibly worn down
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and then left the process for good.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Let's see where it all went wrong.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Michaela.- The main problem is, she will be 100% with you
0:21:39 > 0:21:42and then something will happen with one of her other businesses
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and I think that is a real risk.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46How many companies have you run or co-owned?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- I don't know.- I've got the details here of them.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51There is a holdings company.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53These are my companies now, yeah?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Are you a serial entrepreneur,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57or are you just bored easily?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I don't know what a serial entrepreneur is.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01There is a utilities business.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04There's a plumbing and heating business.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Oh, yeah, yeah.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07She said she really lacks confidence.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09She couldn't look me in the eye.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I didn't know whether to hug her or shake her.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Doesn't that look like somebody
0:22:14 > 0:22:17who is going to be massively overstretched?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm looking for a business partner that's going to be
0:22:20 > 0:22:24100% concentrating on the business that we are going to be in.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Did you expect the interviews to be as sort of invasive, you know,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33to dig as deep in your background and into your life as they did?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yeah, it could have got a lot worse, to be fair,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38if they would have dug a tad deeper.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40He didn't dig deep enough!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I missed something!
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, you missed a few, actually.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47No stone unturned. You've left stones unturned, Mike!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Looking back at the process, how has it been?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Have you enjoyed it?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Oh, honestly, it's been the best experience of my life.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Has it?- Oh, it's changed my life as well,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59because I used to be a nervous wreck,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I didn't like driving to Manchester,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03which is like ten miles away.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I was just always having panic attacks, and I've not had one
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- since I've been in the process, so...- Wow!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- It has changed my life. - That's amazing.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I might apply again next year, try again.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Unfortunately, as you know, Lord Sugar won't be investing in you,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19but he does have this advice for your future.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Michaela has businesses already and, therefore,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27one could class her as very entrepreneurial.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33But as I've always made very clear, it's a prerequisite on this process
0:23:33 > 0:23:36that the winner will focus themselves
0:23:36 > 0:23:39100% on the new business.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41She lacks a bit of confidence sometimes.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45If she can get her confidence boosting a little bit more,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49she can go on and be a real big-time entrepreneur.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Big-time entrepreneur.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Big-time!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Is that going to be you? - Yeah, definitely, 100%.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'll be competing with you soon, Mike.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Bring it on!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Focus on scaling the business up. Is that what you are doing?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah, yeah, just sorting out my other businesses and whatnot
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and then, yeah, I'll just invest in myself.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Lord Sugar has made his decision.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Does our panel feel it was the right one? Mike?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21You have shown so much incredible entrepreneurial spirit
0:24:21 > 0:24:24but I think you will do brilliantly even though you're out,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26so I am going to agree with Lord Sugar
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- and bid you farewell at this point.- No worries.- June?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I definitely disagree with the decision.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I think you should have been in the final.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37In fact, I think you should have won.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40But what I'm excited for you is, I think, five years from now,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43you are going to be a name to watch, I think you are going to be
0:24:43 > 0:24:45in a lot of female entrepreneur lists
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and I'm excited to see it happen.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Thanks, June, I love that! - Yeah, good luck.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Beat that, Hugh! LAUGHTER
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Yeah! No, I think you should have been in the final,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57but I think, in the end, you'll be pleased that you weren't,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00actually, because I think you will do far better this way
0:25:00 > 0:25:02than you would have done if you had been in the final,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04but I think you should have been in the final.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Aw, thank you.- It's time to find out what our audience thinks.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "fired".
0:25:09 > 0:25:13If you disagree, hold up "hired" now, please.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20It is overwhelmingly green, I have to say, Michaela.
