Episode 11 The Apprentice: You're Fired

Olympic flame. Expect some strong language.

This is my boardroom, this is my number. The product sucks. You are

fired. You You screwed it up.

You are fired. You're fired. You are fired.

I don't know what you were thinking. You're fired. You're also fired.

Good evening. Welcome. That salute means it is

the last edition of The Apprentice: You're Fired as we move to BBC One

to become part of the aPrentice Final.

We will We will be looking at the four left who are battling for the

�250,000 investment. You know the cute thing mere cats do, they move

their heads together at the same Let's meet our panel, Ruby wax and

Kelvin Mackenzie, welcome to You're Fired.

Tonight I am going to have to say that Adam,

you're fired. I wish you all the best for the

future, and I hope you do well. Keep in touch.

Please welcome Adam Corbally. Were you gutted or there was a look

in your eyes that you knew? It was my time to go, it was a good time.

I have written it down here! Let's look at your joury on the

atren tis tonight. They are spending time tasting

chocolate. They have failed. vision is a big vision. As soon as

you opened your mouths it started to go down hill a lit bit.

Christmas, birthdays, Easter, and Valentine's Day. No attention to

detail. No way on the planet that it will be me who goes tomorrow. No

way. The screwedness, the plot, the getting of the plot, that is where

you are lacking. OK, firstly you love tasting, don't

you? Absolutely. Any chance to tuck in, we have seen you get hammered

in the past. Yes. But really, it was that nervousness giving the

pitch. The pitch was terrible, let's face it, it was. But we had

no time to practise. Jade was lard to work with. Practising the pitch,

they didn't want to know. It was a sales task. I set the shop up great

and I did well with the people face-to-face, but you know, the

business model was wrong, and the strategy let me down. I am bringing

it back to your bit here. Sorry. It's something you have done so

well on and you haven't had that cough before. It was a nightmare,

we were all very tired. When you felt like it, talking about

chocolate, I don't really eat it. We will get to some of the issues.

Angus, where did this chocolate business fall apart. The task was

about luxury, something you feel passionate about to start with,

like chocolate, you could tell you are were going to lose straightaway.

The other guys chose hair grooming product and you could see they buy

a lot of that!. You have to have some sense of purpose, some passion

behind it. All the stuff you were flogging, I have seen ever where

before. The The cost. You need to have an entry level pricing, to

entice people to try the stuff out. Then you have a core pricing, which

is the middle bit where you make most of your money and then a

stretch at the top end, where you try and get all the big spenders to

go for it. Yours was all down to �2.99. 99 is not a nice ending for

a luxury product. Of course it isn't!

I would like a Ferrari, but I would like one penny off the price.

I think you would make a great squishy toy as a human being. It is

so weird when you see people on TV and you see them here. Likewise!

Do I look better in real-life. a big fan. Don't bullshit me. You

look in the show like when you are driving in a car and you are about

to hit the rodent and the roadkill, you look startled and now you look

cool, and saying it's smi time to go, like you are going to die after

this show! You look cool. I don't get what is

acting and what is really you. Are you saying lines or are you really

like this? I don't get it. This is me, what you see is what

you get, absolutely. I am very disappointed that Adam hasn't gone

through because I don't agree with Lord Sugar at all. I thought the

other lot were a dull load of spuds and what they produced, not in a

thousand years would get me in, so I am very sorry that you are going

home. Thank you. Let's talk about the one who got away because Nick

said fairly painlessly through this process when he was put under

pressure in the boardroom tonight. You have got a coffee shop already.

Yes, you could say similar to the proof you have asked for. You were

thinking of doing high quality hot chocolate. I did try but failed.

Snu didn't try that hard. I like a bit of everything. I would have

thought you should have been more persuasive. I am expecting awkward

questions today. What have you decided on the recommend retail

tries? Maybe 2.99. Or 4.99. didn't you step in and assert more

authority. You don't win the task, you are going to get tired. How

often did Nick eat his breakfast in the shed at the bottom of the

garden. It was a weird shot. Were you disappointed with him? Do you

think he should have been the one to go? I said he was fluky, he was

on the winning team a lot. Let's contrast this with your reaction

when you were asked to pick one person on the team. I wouldn't go

into business with him. How do you think Nick did? To be successful,

you have to demonstrate some sense of commitment. I haven't seen that

from Nick at all. He's been like the invisible man. You are full of

passion, full of commitment, throw yourself in, everybody likes that

about you. Nick was always in the back. Taking a back seat. I sailed

into the final five in a yacht, Nick is in a submarine.

Describe for me the yacht. My image of you wasn't as much a yacht as of

a Viking boat, rowing furiously on your on and drumming and rowing.

Going round in circles. Nick, flumph and all that, Nick is a

technical man. He didn't put any energy in. He said he is an indeed

but it was bashed away. I thought he was massively lucky to go

through. The one thing you do need is plenty of punch. If you are

going to be an entrepreneur, you have got to believe in something,

because someone is putting into you, they want to make sure you are

going to die for it. Clearly a delefr guy, but -- clever guy, but

he's 25, he could have been 55, he was very old for a 25-year-old. He

seemed a nice enough guy and he was lucky enough to come through.

Throughout this process, you have been praised for throwing yourself

wholeheartedly into every task, even when they have been out of...

You know the phrase. You couldn't get anybody more out of his comfort

zone than him. Two of something are not always the

same. It's the same but it isn't the same.

It's not this, it's not here, it's this.

I do worry about him. You started off like a bit of a nutter. He's

mouleded his way into the process. A lot of made of how difficult it

would be for you. I know. Did you find it patronising? I was always

out of my comfort zone, but I was always comfy clam

--!. Did it flatter you a bit, because you have a market stall and

you have a property business, you are not Dell Boy here. In a world

of art, why, I have never heard of such a thing, did you get

flabbered? I performed all the -- better in both tasks than all the

other candidates. What show were you watching? The English sparkling

wine, your recollections may be hazy. We did see a lot of you

enjoying a lot of English sparkling wine. I had the bottle. It was like

"I love you Tom ". But what qualities do you think Adam

demonstrated throughout the process? I think you showed great

quality in getting stuck into something and adapting and learning

very quickly. That is one of the models of how you can be successful

as a sprur. You get get traction, get into it and most markets are

moving at such a dynamic pace, you have to keep evolving your business.

You are quicker and likable, and I think to exhibit leadership you

need to be something that people like to follow. I am a role model

and that is what I try to do. are not quite there yet. This

notion of out of smi comfort zone, is it a handy stance to take.

fact he is in total denial about what he did on that show. He is

saying he's out of his comfort zone. We are all out of our comfort zone.

Business is not about feeling all all squishy. I have been in

business a long time. Yu are you so lackadaisical. I wouldn't say that

at all. It's coming across. It's a TV show. Whenever you guys

are ready. Every morning, if you ask any of the candidates, I was

the guy they wanted on the team, I was aggressive and determined. I

always have a laugh. You spoke - you are a confident man, but you

are quite shy when you were younger. Massive shy. You cried on stage.

cried on stage. I am starting to go the other way, I love you. What

happened? How did you go from being a shy kid? I don't know, I left

home and school at 16 and I had bills to pay, you have to get stuck

in. You have to overcome anything that gets in your way and get on

with it. We couldn't let it pass without hearing your interesting

comments about women. We need to stop the showers wife industry,

that is who you are going to be aiming it at.

Hairdressers are typically women. When you get to the top end, the

boys really know their stuff. The trolley Dolly will be around

soon. I stand by those comments.

stand gi those comments. Name the hairdressers. Do you have a

girlfriend? No, single. It's going to be a long haul for you. If you

ask any of the female candidates, who the gentleman was, they will

say me, I am in no way sexist. Let's find out who was the jam in

He's my kind of guy. He is my closest friend in here so far.

He makes me laugh. # I love you just the way you are##

He is a good lad. I love the guy. He's a cracking lad.

Belting. I have a lot of friends I love very much, I don't dry hump

them on the couch. Any port in a storm.

There was another candidate who you had a less friendly relationship.

We are keen to see if Lord Sugar has with me on my team. We will be

a strong team. You said to Jade, you go off and make us some

chocolates. I am a successful business woman. Jade has proved...

You don't even know what I do. has bad manners. It's like being

with an an annoying brother and sister. Jade, you think it should

be Adam who should go. We won't be going on a date any time soon.

you stand by that? I stand by the comments, 100%. I have respect for

every candidates, I know what they have put on the line. That goes

from Billy to whoever wins it. I have respect for everyone. But I

don't rate Jade at all. She is negative, not good at what she says

she is good at. But in the last task, from what we saw, pretty much

was all Jade. Credit where it is due. Me and Jade didn't get on.

Sometimes you don't get on with people. When we worked together, to

be fair, the videos, we clashed, but when we worked together we

generally did a good product at the end of it. Maybe I am being harsh

on her. I didn't say you worked well together. I said most of the

things in that task, she did.! So you are saying is it should be

her sat here and not me. I am not saying that at all.

I thought she had a spark of creativity there. Some of her ideas

were a bit raw, but at least there was a spark there and I haven't

seen that in a lot of the other candidates. I think she has shown

herself to be an astute negotiator both in buying and selling. Maybe

she is a bit abrasive and gets people's backs up a bi. She is very

young. I think she's somebody of quality. She is my hunch for the

final. When she talked about what she was going to do, which area she

was going into, it is clear she was going into the area that she's an

expert in right now. It was that that told me that she was going to

do what she does, and that is a very, very good way. So I think

she's the one that will win comfortably to be honest. I think

she has more about her. It is time to hear what Lord Sugar and your

former colleagues have to say about you.

Adam is a person that you have to admire. He threw himself in to

every task, but in this last task he misunderstood the business.

is a lot of fun to be around. He is confusing as a project manager.

came up with the product, name. Adam just told us what to do.

think somebody that has got some really business nous and that's why

I had to fire Adam. Some encouraging words and some

criticisms. Fair comment. I have a lot of respect for Lord Sugar. I

had the opportunity to show a lot of what I've got in the business

world. It is his money and fair comment to him. In the task, you

have done lots of things, you weren't expected to be able to do,

have you learnt anything? I have learnt a hell of a lot. What will

you take back? I can turn my hand to anything, with aggression and

enthusiasm and do well at it. Whether it is out of my comfort

zone or not. Yet more confidence at the end of it than you came in

with! Let's take a look at tonight's

winning team of modern gentlemen. What is your name? Sandra. Do you

use moistureiser. I do myself, but then I am a lady.

As a woman, have you ever said "I do use Moyesureiser, but then I am

a lady ". This is what did it for them. They had rehearsed this. The

product itself. At the end of this, everybody in this audience knows

you can buy any of that stuff anywhere.

Sorry about that one. You are making it worse. When was

the last time you did any cleaning. House wives love them!

If we can get back to their pitch. They chose a subject area they were

interested in and that meant they were probably going to win because

of that. The product itself? Terrible. I was not impressed by it.

The colour was horrible and I thought the packaging was third

rate but it goes to show, do your homework beforehand, and if you can

tap dance well, you may well have a chance even with an inferior

product and inferior entrepreneurial energy. Who do you

think is going to win? I think Ricky is my favourite candidate. I

think he shows the right degree of passion. He's also resolutely

optimistic as well, which you have to be if you are starting something

brand new up. I think Jade, but I actually think it will be Ricky.

Kelvin? Jade to do it, she is the right age, 29, having seen what

she's done tonight as well, she's got some creativity as well as

being a numbers cruncher. I am really up for Jade. Tom? I rated

Tom at the beginning and he did good tasks, the one in Brick Lane

where he was amazing, but I don't think he's resolute enough sor

optimistic enough, and I think to be out there, starting something up,

you have to be definitely a half glass full person. I am not sure he

is. Nick, he's turning over whatever. He's really going to make

t not in this show, but he's going swrrks he's fantastic. Let's get

the reaction of stars attending this week's BAFTA celebrations.

Am I a fan of the Apprentice I love The Apprentice. Nick might steal it.

Nick is going to get it, he's the most handsome. I like Tom. He is a

lot of get up and go. Go Tom. This is my Nick Hugher impression.

Jade to win it. She knows what he's doing. Ricky for the win I would

say. He's got some brains and a good quiff. You're fired! You're

fired. You're fired. As for the vote today, Angus, do

you think Lord Sugar was right to fire Adam? Definitely not. What

should have gone? Nick. I think you should have gone but any other day,

I think you are a great salesman. Nick should have gone because he

didn't seem to contribute anything to the whole game. Let's see how

you do. If you agree with Lord Sugar hold up fired, if you don't

hold up hired. That's a fired!

We do like to give you something to remember the whole process by. Just

because there was one thing that stood out, just remember those

magic words "I'm out of my comfort zone"

Here are your highlights. I can bring people up when they are
