0:00:03 > 0:00:05I'm not impressed with any of you. This is a bloody shambles.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07You didn't follow the money.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09I've got two teams here, they're both rubbish.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11You're fired.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Good evening.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Good evening and welcome to The Apprentice: You're Fired,
0:00:31 > 0:00:32I'm Rhod Gilbert.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36This week saw our candidates hunting down gifts to celebrate
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Lord Sugar's 70th birthday.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41The items included your usual party staples, like scarlet doeskin
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and 100 bricks, but there was mortar...this task...
0:00:46 > 0:00:50..than met the eye. And with such a busy day, Joanna
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and Anisa were worried they wouldn't get home in time for Eggheads.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55It's nearly five to six.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57OK, so if we can get in and out by five past six,
0:00:57 > 0:00:58I reckon we might just do it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Here to help us figure out who pinned the tail on the donkey
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and who got kicked in the ass...mule, please welcome tonight's
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Apprentice fans and guests, fashion entrepreneur
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and confidante to Lord Sugar, Linda Plant,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14the wonder that is Jenny Eclair, and comedian Ed Gamble.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23So, how do you think it went this week, Linda?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Well, I loved this episode because you really get to see
0:01:27 > 0:01:30if the candidates have got what Lord Sugar is looking for -
0:01:30 > 0:01:36negotiating skills, strategic planning, sourcing ability.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Or not.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Or not.Jenny?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Well, I think they missed a trick
0:01:41 > 0:01:45because what everybody wants for their birthday is an extra surprise.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So, it's all very well having a list
0:01:47 > 0:01:50but I think if they got him a bouncy castle as well...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54..they might have got extra points for initiative.Ed?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Well, this is always my favourite episode of the series as well
0:01:58 > 0:02:01especially as every series it seems to be Lord Sugar just getting
0:02:01 > 0:02:03people to do his errands for him.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I think next year we're going to move onto him just getting them
0:02:06 > 0:02:09to pick up his dry cleaning and cleaning the wardrobe.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Well, the fifth unlucky candidate will be here any minute to
0:02:13 > 0:02:15help us understand where it all went wrong, but, first...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17BIG BEN CHIMES
0:02:18 > 0:02:20In Apprentice News tonight,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24the candidates are against the clock, and on such a time-sensitive
0:02:24 > 0:02:26task, Anisa starts abbreviating words
0:02:26 > 0:02:28to save valuable milliseconds.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Ultimately, if we're heading... Yeah, we're heading N...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Valuable time saved there.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Andrew gets hiding his face and picking his nose in the wrong order.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Probably another 20 minutes away, if it stays like this.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Bushra takes time out to have a needless pop at Scooby-Doo.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51An uncontrollable...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53..unprofessional...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55..cartoon character.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Not looking where he's going, a cyclist accidentally pedals
0:03:02 > 0:03:04straight down Sajan's ear canal.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07The only fear I have is that we haven't got all the items.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Where did he go?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Where did he go? Let's see that again. Where's he gone?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16The only fear I have is that we haven't got all the items.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Tasked with getting a 70th birthday cake for Lord Sugar and an item
0:03:22 > 0:03:26made in 1947, a razor-sharp Harrison puts two and two together.
0:03:26 > 0:03:2970th birthday cake.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31An item made in 1947.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'm guessing Lord Sugar was born in 1947.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And that's tonight's Apprentice News.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Early in the task, Ross admitted that the thought of spending
0:03:46 > 0:03:49all day driving around London didn't appeal to him.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51So, at the end of the task, Lord Sugar put him
0:03:51 > 0:03:54out of his misery and booked him a black cab home.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Ross, you are a very articulate fellow but, I believe,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01and I say this very respectfully,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03you are a fish out of water in this process.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08For that reason, I wish you all the best but, Ross, you're fired.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Thank you for the opportunity. It was really...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I appreciate the opportunity.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Good luck.Thank you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Please welcome Ross Fretten!
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Come in, grab a seat. Grab a seat, Ross. How are you feeling?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Could be better. I did just get fired, so, you know,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38not the optimal situation I find myself in.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43A bit raw?A little bit raw, but I think we're all right. It was fun.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46We're all dying to know at the end there where you said, "It's been...
0:04:46 > 0:04:50"It's been really...something," and then you just kind of cut-off
0:04:50 > 0:04:53and went, "Thanks for the opportunity." What had it been,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56really, what had it been?It had been so many things, you know.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59You go into it thinking it's going to be one thing and it's not.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00And...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03What was the one thing you thought it was going to be and it wasn't?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It was different to my expectations and it was interesting.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08That's what I'm going to go with.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, so you were going to say, "It's been really interesting?"
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Yeah.And then changed your mind?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I thought it could be misconstrued as a negative,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and I didn't mean it to be. It was interesting for lots of good reasons
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and I didn't want it to come off as if I was feeling a bit raw,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25as you say, and trying to get a dig in because I really wasn't.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Did you think you were going to go?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Did you think you were going to get fired?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I have to admit, I was so arrogant I thought there was no way I was
0:05:31 > 0:05:33going to get fired when I had Saj sitting next to me, if I'm honest.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You thought Saj was going to go? I was certain he was going to go.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39But, from the conversation, I knew I was on the back foot
0:05:39 > 0:05:41because I hadn't contributed at all.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43No-one can get away from that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yeah, that is on the back foot slightly.Slightly, right?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Not the best game plan. No game plan.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52No, no.I think you should have said,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54"Well, that was a waste of time!"
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Oh, go back to being a genius. It's hard work, you know.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I loved it when Lord Sugar said to you you haven't contributed
0:06:02 > 0:06:04at all, and you very proudly went, "I knew you were going to say that."
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm that smart. I'm that smart, Ed.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10You fought your corner in the boardroom, though.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14You didn't just roll over. You never do in a boardroom.No, why would I?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17And, to be honest, the boardroom's probably the most fun
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I was having in the whole process.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I really actually enjoyed it more than the tasks,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25and more than the treats in fact. Yeah.More than the treats!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28"You've won, Ross. Your treat is you can come...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30"Shut the door and come straight back in."
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It really was that, I really would. "Just go around,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35"turn round by my secretary over there, come straight back in."
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I want more, Lord Sugar, more!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Why did you enjoy the boardroom so much?I just find it really fun.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It's intellectually stimulating, it's about creative problem-solving
0:06:42 > 0:06:45off-the-cuff, and it's very raw compared to the task.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You can go in there, you can spar with people, you can get the better
0:06:48 > 0:06:51of them if you're smarter than them, which, by the way, I am, OK?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Everyone clear?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So, I just really enjoyed it for that reason, actually.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59You famously now... We call it Uninterrupted Gate.Oh, yeah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02From the time when in the boardroom you said to Lord Sugar,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05"If I may continue - uninterrupted would be ideal."
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Talk us through that.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So, I very much doubt Lord Sugar got to where
0:07:09 > 0:07:11he is today by surrounding himself in yes-men.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So I actually don't think it was as big of a deal as everyone
0:07:14 > 0:07:16seems to think, personally, and I stand by it.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19If someone's going to interrupt and it may be a bit
0:07:19 > 0:07:21counter-productive in a conversation, there's no
0:07:21 > 0:07:23harm in respectfully telling them that, and that's what I done.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Linda, you know Lord Sugar personally.Yes, I do.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Has Ross got a point there?Er...no.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Absolutely not.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37He might not surround himself with yes-men,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39but he certainly wouldn't need a no-man.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43And Ross is an absolute no-man for Lord Sugar.No way!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47OK, maybe for Lord Sugar, yes, but generally I'm not a negative...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49But you were in the task! Ross, bit of a tip.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53If someone says you're no-man, don't answer with, "No, I'm not."
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You got me there.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Despite winning their first task just seven days ago, Team Vitality
0:08:05 > 0:08:08managed to get their losing streak back on track this week.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Let's see where it all went wrong.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Hello, Ross.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Where was you on this task, Ross? What did you do?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Don't know London at all. I've never lived here.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Is EC1 anywhere near E14?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Guys, we just need to know what the hell we're doing.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24This is getting a bit frantic. No-one knows where we're going
0:08:24 > 0:08:27or what we're doing.Do you have another suggestion?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Please feel free to tell us because I think we all feel
0:08:29 > 0:08:31like we're at a loose end, mate.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Did you buy anything?No.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Were you a waste of space in this task, or what?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Right there, two stores away from us. Is it worth us popping in there?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42The supermarket is clearly not a Jewish, kosher supermarket.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45This has been a complete and colossal waste of precious time.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I think the issue with Ross in a task like this is he's not
0:08:48 > 0:08:50made himself want to negotiate,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53therefore he's not really contributed anything to the task.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56LORD SUGAR:Ross, you've shown no genius as far as business acumen
0:08:56 > 0:08:59is concerned so far.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Harsh.Is it harsh to watch that? No.Did you...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04If you don't mind me saying so, on the start of this task,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07you looked sort of defeated before you started.Yeah, I mean...
0:09:07 > 0:09:11If I'm completely honest...Your heart wasn't in it from the start.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It wasn't. It was a task that I was dreading.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I knew I'd underperform in this task unless I could pull something out,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18so I knew it wasn't going to be a good one.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Was that a self-fulfilling prophecy, though, if you went in
0:09:20 > 0:09:22with that attitude?Actually, no, if I'm honest,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24because I did take ownership during the day.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I actually said to Saj, "Mate, your leadership sucks.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29"You've given me nothing to do, not because you don't trust me
0:09:29 > 0:09:33"but because we've basically condensed five interactions
0:09:33 > 0:09:37"or transactions into three people." Me and Saj both had nothing to do.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40So his response to that was to allow me to lead the afternoon
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and if that had happened, I wouldn't have been in the boardroom
0:09:42 > 0:09:45and we wouldn't be having this discussion around contribution.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49However, as we know, Harrison and his team messed up the computer,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51and the afternoon got derailed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54So, you know, I was a victim of circumstance.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57However, I will put my hands up and say, if I really fought for it
0:09:57 > 0:09:59that day, I probably could have found more ways to be involved.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Jenny, considering that the winner of this process goes on to
0:10:04 > 0:10:08work with London-based, proud Cockney, Tottenham Hotspur devotee
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Lord Sugar, do you think when Ross said, "I don't know what I'm doing
0:10:11 > 0:10:13"in London, I don't want to be here,"
0:10:13 > 0:10:16do you think he sort of signed his own P45 before he started?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19He wasn't on his own. The girls...
0:10:19 > 0:10:23One of the girls actually said... actually said on camera,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26"We don't know what London is."
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Yeah, Elizabeth said that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32You're clearly a very intelligent man, Ross, but I don't think
0:10:32 > 0:10:36necessarily a genius in that sense is cut out for this process.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Like, Albert Einstein was a genius,
0:10:37 > 0:10:43I wouldn't send him off to get a good price on bricks.Yeah.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I totally take that point, and... Horses for courses.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50I think the point to make is - to succeed in this process,
0:10:50 > 0:10:51you need a plethora of skills.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Sorry, if people don't know the word plethora. You need lots of skills.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56AUDIENCE:Ooh!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm loving this, I wish I'd seen this during the show!
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Ross, you're playing the pantomime baddie tonight!I say it with love.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09No, but in all seriousness, you do need...
0:11:09 > 0:11:13..you do need lots of skills, and intelligence is just one of them.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And I think maybe there were other candidates in the process, and I'm
0:11:16 > 0:11:21sure you guys would all agree, that had those skills more so than I did.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Linda, when you find yourself in that situation, you know
0:11:23 > 0:11:26it's not your strength, what should you do?So many things.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28He was so negative.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Try to contribute,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34try to show you've got some entrepreneurial skills.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Try to entice Lord Sugar in some way.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41And, then, when you got in the boardroom, it was, like, "Oh, I'm...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44"Here I am, the victim again, I knew you were going to do that."
0:11:44 > 0:11:47It was, like, "Don't speak, don't interrupt me."
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Everything that you did was completely against what would
0:11:51 > 0:11:54entice Lord Sugar to be your business partner.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You know at the interview stage...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58..I thought you were just playing a character.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Good job I'm not interviewing you, then! No, you were dreadful.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You were dreadful!
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Hey!I need a hug.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Sorry, everybody.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16I may be a narcissist, but I'm quite fragile, Linda.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Jenny, Ross sort of held his hands up and said
0:12:20 > 0:12:23he wasn't looking forward to this task, he was out of his depth.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Has not knowing anything about something ever
0:12:25 > 0:12:27stopped you piping up? Hasn't stopped me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I've got a long way on very, very little.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I got a D and an E at A-level, I've got no talent to speak of,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37and, yet, look at me sat here like a queen.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Ed, are you a strong negotiator? Do you haggle ever?Absolutely not.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I'd rather order everything I buy online
0:12:46 > 0:12:48so I don't have to interact with other human beings.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'm an awful negotiator.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51If I'd been in that task,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I'd be sat where Ross is right now wearing a £500 Tottenham scarf.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Which, by the way, I did some research into that scarf,
0:13:02 > 0:13:047.99 on eBay.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Well, Ross risked the wrath of Lord Sugar a few weeks ago
0:13:11 > 0:13:13telling him to button it in the boardroom.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16But this week he had a little less luck with Karren.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30People who do absolutely nothing are no good to me.And I agree.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I was project leader on week two.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34You lost week two.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Let's talk about the task a bit more. Sajan was project manager.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Terrible team leader. Sorry, yeah.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Well, he said he brought you in for your...
0:13:46 > 0:13:50The word "analytical skills" came up a lot.Yeah, yeah.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I mean, it sounds a vague sort of
0:13:52 > 0:13:54fudge on a task like this, analytical.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58So, with Saj as team leader, it wasn't great, let's be honest.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00He didn't really have control of anything,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03really, from the beginning. I do have so much fondness for Saj,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I think he's an absolutely great guy,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08but I do feel like he was a bit out of his depth on that and,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12ultimately, we paid the price with the team, and it's effectively me
0:14:12 > 0:14:13that that came down to,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and I hope he has a lot of sleepless nights over that.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It did come down to you. Lord Sugar in the boardroom, Linda,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22said he was lucky... Saj was lucky he'd caught him on a good day.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Was he lucky there wasn't a double firing?Absolutely.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30I would have fired Sajan. I would. He absolutely messed up.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34He did not buy the two biggest ticket items, and he...
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Having shown initiative to actually get the dealer of the computer
0:14:39 > 0:14:42to come halfway across London to meet him,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44he then just abandoned him.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I thought it was bad business, and bad behaviour, actually.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Jenny, if you'd been project manager on this,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52what would your strategy have been?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Well, their biggest competition in this,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58their biggest struggle was against the capital city that is London.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And I'd have kidnapped a London cabbie.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That's what I'd have done,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11because they know where to go.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I'd have kidnapped a London cabbie, bunged them in the car
0:15:14 > 0:15:15and said, "Oi, mate..."
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Sorry, mustn't do that, cos that's what the girls did, didn't they?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20"Oi, mate!"
0:15:20 > 0:15:21That was the most extraordinary...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Building a rapport, I think that's called.Yeah. Banter!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Eurgh! With brickies!
0:15:26 > 0:15:28"Oi, mate!
0:15:28 > 0:15:30"S'cuse me, fella!"
0:15:30 > 0:15:32The boys did it, as well.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35"All right, fella!" The boys did it as well. Couldn't help themselves.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36The only thing they did well was
0:15:36 > 0:15:39there were some fabulous hairdos going on.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44The hair gel. I mean, the person who should win is Sajan's hairdresser.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Thought you were going to say that!That quiff, you know.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And Andrew - very good hair as well.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53They're both divas, let's be honest. They're both very diva-ish.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Maybe that's one of the qualities I alluded to earlier,
0:15:55 > 0:15:56about going far in the process,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59one of the ones that's less desirable for someone like me.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Diva-like qualities, maybe.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Says he... in a slightly diva-like way!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05LAUGHTER
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, no - I'm out of my depth here!
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Sorry!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Sajan tried to rescue a bad situation in the boardroom
0:16:14 > 0:16:17with a rousing humdinger of a speech that would have moved anyone
0:16:17 > 0:16:19with a heart to tears.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Let's see how it went down with somebody who doesn't have a heart.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23ROUSING CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:16:29 > 0:16:30I'll tell you what I am.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'm very hard-working, very passionate at what I do.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Where I've come from, it's been difficult.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36My upbringing's been very different.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'm young, I might not be experienced as these guys, but
0:16:38 > 0:16:41there's definitely something that I'll give you which is hard work.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I'm here to be mentored. I'm still building my confidence
0:16:44 > 0:16:46and I've still got a long way to go in this process...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50RECORD NEEDLE SCRATCHES
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I'LL decide whether you've got
0:16:46 > 0:16:50a long way to go in this process.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Such prowess.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Let's talk about what went right, Ross, because you got back in time.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Yeah, we got back in time and we had, um...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10..a reasonable amount of items, not that that's good,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12but if we decided to take an hour,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15two hours extra, we'd have absolutely got the handkerchief,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17absolutely got the scarf.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18We actually hit the deadline,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21which apparently the other team were incapable of doing.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23But the main bit of the task, surely, is to get the items,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26it's not just getting to the House of Lords on time?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Ican get to the House of Lords in eight hours.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32But YOU would have ended up in Lourdes in France.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35With no items, naked.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39That's where you'd have ended up if you were involved in this task!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Let's talk about some of the other candidates, Ross. Joanna.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Hasn't had an easy time of it in there.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Had quite a frustrating week last week.Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48She's still in there, though.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Yeah, I actually have a lot of sympathy for Joanna.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52I think she's quite competent
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and I think she's quite emotionally intelligent, I think she can
0:17:55 > 0:17:59read a room very well and read social dynamics quite well, as well.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00However...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03..I think just circumstances mean she's been on the back foot
0:18:03 > 0:18:06and she's having to over-assert herself I think, to try
0:18:06 > 0:18:08and get her point across and that's being
0:18:08 > 0:18:12misconstrued as aggression, which I don't think is fair.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14She was PM this week, Linda, Joanna.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16She was under quite a lot of pressure,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20because she knew from the end of the last task that she was going
0:18:20 > 0:18:25to be PM, so I think she performed very well and they won the task.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Yeah. She cried big, fat tears of relief or joy,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31was it, at the end there, Jenny? That was quite a moment.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Have you ever invested
0:18:32 > 0:18:34so much in something that you've cried at the end?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Shoes?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41A lady...Shoes?!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43No, I haven't, I'm not that type, I don't know why I said that!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48An exhausting day racing aimlessly around London
0:18:48 > 0:18:52and missing deadlines clearly took its toll on Joanna this week.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00TINKLY LULLABY PLAYS
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Ed, Joanna's been in quite a competitive environment,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16it's been quite argumentative, a lot of debate.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Would you thrive in that sort of environment,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21or in a more conciliatory team, like the boys have had?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I think neither team, really.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Neither type of team.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Not a team player?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Absolutely not a team player, that's why I do stand-up comedy.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I can't bear the idea of anybody else having a say in what I do.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I mean, a lot of the time I turn up to gigs
0:19:34 > 0:19:36and I'm annoyed that an audience is there, quite frankly.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I mean, it's not often.No!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Bushra was sub team leader on Graphene this week.Yeah, yeah.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Where you impressed with Bushra generally?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I think she's an intelligent girl, I think she's very smart.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I think she's playing her cards quite close to her chest,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57definitely. So I'm not sure which way it's going to go - I think
0:19:57 > 0:20:01she could either really thrive and go quite far in the process,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04or maybe just be outed as a bit of an impostor, I'm not sure.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I think and hope it's the former. Jenny, what do you make of Bushra?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10She was sub team leader this week.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Her and Elizabeth, they're great, aren't they?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14They should do panto together.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Um...She called Elizabeth an unprofessional cartoon character -
0:20:18 > 0:20:20was that harsh? Fair? Harsh but fair?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24It's only something I've been called on many, many occasions, so...
0:20:25 > 0:20:26..I think, yeah, I think that
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Elizabeth totally rubs up Bushra the wrong way,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34because I think Bushra is probably quite a professional woman...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Definitely...and Elizabeth just goes gallumphing in.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Gallumphing in?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I love her. I think she's great.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44But not for the right reasons!
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It sounded like Bushra was setting us a riddle at one point,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Ed, when she said, "I am from London,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53"but I do not travel through London."
0:20:53 > 0:20:54"What am I?"
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I am a child in the morning!
0:20:59 > 0:21:02She was narrowing it down as they got further through the task,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05like everyone was going, "I'm from London," and later on
0:21:05 > 0:21:07they were going, "It's not my part of London, though."
0:21:07 > 0:21:08By the end, she was just going,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10"I only really know my house, and that's it..."
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Let's talk about Charles a little bit.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18He puts himself forward for project manager this week - again, rejected.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Wasn't that every week?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Er, he has put himself forward a couple of times,
0:21:22 > 0:21:23he's been rejected again.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Linda, why do you think they went with Sajan
0:21:25 > 0:21:27and not Charles this week?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Um, well, I haven't got a lot of sympathy for Charles,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31because I think...
0:21:31 > 0:21:32You surprise me.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33LAUGHTER
0:21:35 > 0:21:41Look, I think that Sajan, he's got more charisma than Charles and
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I think he did show initiative and
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I think that people recognise that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Charles did well on the task, though,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49he knew what the rugelach was,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51he knew where to find it,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53he knew what it was.No, I disagree.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I don't think he did well.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57In the discussions, he said,
0:21:57 > 0:22:01"Oh, rugelach - that can be found in Golders Green or Stamford Hill,"
0:22:01 > 0:22:05and then he took the team to Hampstead -
0:22:05 > 0:22:07very short drive from Golders Green,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09paid a lot more money in Hampstead.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It's not the area you would go for rugelach,
0:22:12 > 0:22:17and I think that actually throughout the task, he was pretty passive.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Harrison - once again, has to be said, invited to be sub team...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23He gets this a lot.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26But ended up in the boardroom again, so people obviously have
0:22:26 > 0:22:29confidence in him, Ed, but is it misguided confidence, do you think?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I don't necessarily think so - I quite like Harrison.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You can tell he puts his all into it
0:22:34 > 0:22:37because about halfway through the day, his hair starts getting
0:22:37 > 0:22:41wilder, he gets five o'clock shadow at about 1.30...
0:22:41 > 0:22:42LAUGHTER
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So, Ross, unfortunately, Lord Sugar won't be investing in you
0:22:47 > 0:22:50but he does have this advice for your future.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Ross was a very interesting person, he's a technology man.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Of course, I'm a technology man also,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00but he went wrong on this particular
0:23:00 > 0:23:02task basically doing nothing and
0:23:02 > 0:23:03it was something which regretfully,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I saw in the previous task also.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08He said travelling around London,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11finding products was not his forte,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13but I'm not sure what his forte was
0:23:13 > 0:23:16as far as business is concerned.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'm optimistic for Ross in the
0:23:18 > 0:23:19future, he's a very smart guy,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22very technical, very analytical,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and I'm sure that he'll turn his
0:23:24 > 0:23:27skills to something where he will flourish.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Nice words.Nice words.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I'm happy with that and I actually don't disagree with anything
0:23:33 > 0:23:36he did say. What was your business plan?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38My business plan is a dog training and health app
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and a connected collar for your dog,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43so people can get puppy classes in their pocket
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and understand if a dog is healthy and happy. Really simple,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49really easy, really exciting. Good luck.Thank you.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51So, Lord Sugar made his decision,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54but does our panel feel it was the right decision? Linda?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I do. Absolutely.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I'm shocked to the core that Linda would say that.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03That came out of nowhere!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Jenny?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Oh, I think Lord Sugar was right to fire him,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11he'd have been miserable staying, miserable.Ed.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I thought during that task,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16you were taking everything in and you were about to pounce,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18you were choosing your moment, and then you never pounced.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It was like watching a nature documentary where there's a lion
0:24:21 > 0:24:23watching antelopes and then they just walk off.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I think you're clearly very clever, but you weren't quite cut out
0:24:28 > 0:24:31for that, so I think they made the right decision.OK.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So that's the panel. What do our audience think? Let's have a look.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38If you agree with Lord Sugar, then hold up Fired,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40if you disagree, hold up Hired now, please.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Ooh!Oh, my God!That's brutal!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Even my friends have got Fired!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52What the hell?!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55They wanted you home, Ross - they wanted you home!Yeah, that's it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Guys, the people holding up Hired, you know
0:24:57 > 0:25:01you're not supposed to look at the side you want to hold up, right?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02There's one changed up there!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Unfortunately, it is red, Ross,
0:25:08 > 0:25:09I'm afraid,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11but nobody leaves here empty-handed.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Because, Ross, you are justifiably proud of your genius.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19You said at the outset that you are normally the smartest
0:25:19 > 0:25:23person in the room.Did you see my implicit caveat, there?Normally.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Normally.Well, why take that risk? Yeah, I know.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I've got a gift that eliminates all risk,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31to guarantee that you are always the smartest person in the room,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Ross, do not look round now, I'm going to bring it to you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Face that way, my friend, do not look, it's a surprise.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I'm getting goose bumps with the excitement.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Just cos I touched your shoulder. It's also that!
0:25:42 > 0:25:46You need never take the risk again, you can always be
0:25:46 > 0:25:47the smartest person in the room...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52..with my beautiful handmade PPR,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54it's the Portable Personal Room...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Oh, wow!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Take that wherever you go.I love it.Ross, you've been a great sport.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Thanks a lot.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Enjoy your PPR, thanks for coming on the show.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Normally, I'm the smartest person in the room.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Absolutely.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Ross is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14This has quashed that immediately.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15He's very analytical.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I don't think his brain ever stops working.
