0:00:02 > 0:00:03This was mayhem.
0:00:03 > 0:00:04That don't look good.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06It is not rocket science.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08You couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Bloody clueless.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14You're fired.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Good evening and welcome to The Apprentice You're Fired.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32With six tasks completed, we are at the halfway stage,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36so tonight we'll be casting our eyes over the ten candidates who
0:00:36 > 0:00:40remain in the fight for Lord Sugar's £250,000 business investment.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And we will also see how being polite can sometimes stop you
0:00:44 > 0:00:48giving someone the honest answer they deserve.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53There's no point in us paying you £50 per head just for stuff,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55so, thank you so much for seeing us.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57OK, no problem.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00While we're here though, can we buy some piping bags from you?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07How she bit her tongue I do not know. Now to our entertaining panel.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Events entrepreneur Archie Archer, broadcaster Trevor Nelson
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and comedian Russell Kane, welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Tonight's task of running a corporate awayday
0:01:21 > 0:01:24resulted in one candidate making their way home.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29I do know what my instinct is telling me about you, Rebecca.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35You haven't proved yourself to me at all, so, Rebecca, you're fired.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Thank you for the opportunity.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Please welcome Rebecca Slater.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Mwah. Mwah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Please, sit down.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Rebecca, are you disappointed?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Of course, I'm gutted, I would have loved to have got through,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08but I guess I didn't stick up for myself
0:02:08 > 0:02:10too well in the boardroom, but, yes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Was it a surprise when you were in there, could you feel it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It was, because Francesca said, "I'm not bringing you in," beforehand,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19"Don't worry, I'm not bringing you in,"
0:02:19 > 0:02:21so I thought, "Oh, I can relax."
0:02:21 > 0:02:23When did she say that?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Beforehand, but no criticism...- Out the window, when it came down to it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I mean, I love Francesca, she's great...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Yes, she's saying that to everyone, "I'm not bringing you in,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34"I'm not bringing him in, not bringing you in.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36"None of you are coming in, it's all on me. None of you.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39"Take the rest of the day off, knock yourselves out. Go on home."
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Let's take a look at where it went wrong for you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Wine-tasting in a school?!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It wasn't solely down to me, it was a suggestion.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Why don't we choose wine-tasting?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Do you want to do the waffling, or do you want me to do the waffling,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54or do we just do it between each other and make it comedy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's not so much that we are connoisseurs on wine, but
0:02:57 > 0:03:03we know which is the most expensive and therefore the nicest quality.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Your team lost by £500.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You were charged 600 quid for your motivational speaker.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I'm very keen on the motivational speaker.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I think we can do that ourselves. - No, no, no.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'm hearing that it was Rebecca's idea for the wine-tasting,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Rebecca's idea was for the motivational speaker,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24that's £900 worth and you would have romped home.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Difficult to know where to start.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You do the waffling, I'll do the waffling,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33and we'll just make comedy. It's the recipe.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Let's start with the motivational speaker.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38A lot of blame give to you for some reason
0:03:38 > 0:03:40as if you had specifically burned £600.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, to be honest, that definitely was my thing,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I really did want to go with a motivational speaker
0:03:46 > 0:03:49because I thought that was the sort of business content of day.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I could see the way things were going,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and the way things were forming in the day and I thought
0:03:54 > 0:03:57we need somebody in who's professional,
0:03:57 > 0:03:58who can put that across better.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Archie, you've booked people for these kind of events?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Well, I kind of have a little bit of respect, also, for you
0:04:05 > 0:04:08for actually going with the motivational speaker,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12because I don't know if anybody stood up enough to the job.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Definitely, that happened, yes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17So you might have been in even more trouble
0:04:17 > 0:04:20had you not hired somebody in professionally.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22There is something to be said for it,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26because I'm not sure if I would have liked to have sat through
0:04:26 > 0:04:29a motivational speech given by Jason or Louisa!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I'm not sure the massive business lessons Jason could teach me
0:04:32 > 0:04:36about 18th-century Protestant church architecture would have been...
0:04:36 > 0:04:39But would you have been able to remember it and repeat it the next day?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42No, I'm amazed I got that entire phrase out just there,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46let alone the following day when I'm running my Internet travel company,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49going, "I suppose, there's lots Plato said about this."
0:04:49 > 0:04:53You know, you're a professional speaker, I'm a professional speaker,
0:04:53 > 0:04:54we've all done gigs, I mean,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57we should be fighting in this part for more professional speakers,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01rather than bluffers coming in and doing the job instead, shouldn't we?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Listen, I totally agree with what you did, I think
0:05:03 > 0:05:07you did the right thing, you were just unlucky the other team had
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- an inspirational motivational speaker for free.- Yes, he was good.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13We watched it and we thought, "Mmm, this is going..."
0:05:13 > 0:05:17and then the motivational speaker came on and everyone's attention was like this,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19looking at him like this, and that's what you do on awaydays,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22we've all been on them, and you need that,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27and you are sticking to a brief there, and that was the only part of your whole task that you got right!
0:05:27 > 0:05:32And if you didn't do that, you'd have been in real trouble.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Can you imagine what the fine would have been
0:05:34 > 0:05:36if you have saved yourself the £600.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38People would have gone, "I'm not sure we want to pay for cupcakes
0:05:38 > 0:05:41"and...the wine-tasting!"
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, everybody likes a glass of wine.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I thought it might relax people and we could try
0:05:46 > 0:05:50and turn it into some kind of interesting event.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- How much do you know about wine? - About that much. I know what I like.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The different prices of the wines you'd bought that day
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- would be the sum total of your knowledge.- Absolutely.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So people were expecting something rather than, you know,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm not an expert on wine,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07but I've heard there are different types of grape, for example.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11There are different countries, there are different terroirs,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13it's more than just, "Darling, this is a special occasion,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15"I have bought a £20 wine."
0:06:15 > 0:06:17LAUGHTER
0:06:17 > 0:06:21"Hmm, this £20 wine tastes £5 better than the £15 wine we had yesterday."
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Are you a wine expert?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26For me, this is where the failure was, I mean,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28the £600 speaker for me is a false lead,
0:06:28 > 0:06:32the wine-tasting didn't fit with the day, didn't fit with school.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It fitted my school, 20/20 over the park, by the dog poo bit,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39but, maybe in a posh school you have a Merlot before Latin, I don't know.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43It didn't make sense, and it didn't have any narrative to it,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46it didn't relate to any business objectives,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and didn't have any relevance to the overall objective of the day.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53That said, that's my kind of awayday, let's go and get pissed!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Just a box of booze, let's get off it!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's even better, a box of booze,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00"Which one of these came from a box?"
0:07:01 > 0:07:03The wine-tasting skills...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I can taste the cardboard, it's a wonderful vintage, is it Aldi?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10"Let me refill that, don't look!"
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Put it in a water pistol, wahey!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Any call for wine-tastings on corporate awaydays?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Well, yes, it's a really popular thing to do, but you chose
0:07:21 > 0:07:26a theme which was school, and it just didn't fit with your theme.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I think we were running out of ideas, to be fair, though,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31and it was like... what shall we go with?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But surely school is the easiest thing in terms of coming up with like...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37the sports day thing went out of the window quite quickly,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39you got the planks, the team-building planks,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40which are very important.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And actually, that didn't look too bad,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45it seemed quite successful, I didn't see it because I was cooking,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but that seemed to go pretty successfully, actually.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52The business message was vague, at times, almost tenuous.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55This may be unfair to do this to you, but I want to see again
0:07:55 > 0:07:59how you linked the wine tasting to the tenuous business message.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Uh-oh!- Let's enjoy the tenuous business lessons you're trying to get across here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It's to link in with your company, which is,
0:08:07 > 0:08:13I know you provide five-star events and arrangements,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17with different costs, so it is to do with costing and quality,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and that is why we have linked this in.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21LAUGHTER
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Bravo.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26On closer examination it made no sense whatsoever,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28but you did roughly get it...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31We have, by the way, some of the attendees of your day,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- and of the other day...- Hello!
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Give a big wave to them.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Some of the wine people there, as well.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yeah, I recognise them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40And the guy who went, "I got bored."
0:08:41 > 0:08:44The man who got bored during a... that's him, up there, waving away!
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Let's get a shot of you, the man who, midway through a fairy cake
0:08:49 > 0:08:53demonstration, went, "I'm bored of fairy cakes."
0:08:53 > 0:08:56By the way, have you enjoyed today so far?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yes, great, that'll be five grand.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Because I know you people pay for anything.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We give you a drink outside, you've seen a television show,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07yes, divvy up there, my friend.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Obviously, if you want to look at the most egregious
0:09:10 > 0:09:12examples of corporate speak,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Francesca was the project manager of the losing team
0:09:14 > 0:09:18and for the most hideous uses of jargon alone could have been expelled.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Of all the tasks so far, this is the perfect one for me.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Francesca, a lot of the comments in here are saying that these people were
0:09:28 > 0:09:31trying to take us as mugs, they said that you were blagging them.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Moving you forward, to the one goal.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Success at work, success in yourself, or just success in life. And happiness.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Do you believe what you're saying? Can you hear it? Can you hear what you're saying?
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I wanted to be a policewoman, I'm not a policewoman now.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Sorry, what was the point of this?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm not quite sure yet what is going on.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I thought it was just me. I don't know what you're talking about.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Can everyone hear me OK? Am I loud enough?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59All you keep doing is saying, "This is motivational."
0:09:59 > 0:10:01If you say it enough times, you convince yourself.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05This was a total disaster.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Everyone happy?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11DARA CHORTLES
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I like it. "One goal, one goal.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17"Success in life, success in business, success in yourselves,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19"and happiness."
0:10:19 > 0:10:22That one goal was quite impressive.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I thought the Dalai Lama was going to burst out at the wine-tasting.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Enlightenment is achieved.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I also liked the, "I wanted to be a police officer."
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I mean, is it that easy to be a motivational speaker?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35"Well, I'm going to talk to you today about how my dream of being
0:10:35 > 0:10:38"an astronaut didn't work out, I'm not an astronaut now."
0:10:38 > 0:10:40But I think that's why,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42with you actually having a motivational speaker,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44had Francesca been the motivational speaker,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47that would have really been quite disastrous.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Yes, well, when we had the brainstorming session,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I know Jordan in the boardroom piped up and said,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55"I was more than prepared to be a motivational speaker,"
0:10:55 > 0:10:59but he truly didn't, but had he put a good story across,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- I'm sure we would have considered it.- Did you not step up?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Me, personally?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I genuinely didn't feel I had, you know,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09the expertise to put it across, really.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I wanted to do a really good performance, so, yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I don't think your style in The Apprentice would have
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- worked as a motivational speaker. - Thanks.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24I like your style, it was very sort of, how can I put it, judgemental.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26A little cold at times, I'm just being honest.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29A little cold at times, but it was perfect.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It was perfect for the boardroom, we'll get to that bit later,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34but I just don't think you had anyone in your team that could have
0:11:34 > 0:11:36pulled that off the way Neil did.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38If she had done the speech, Francesca, I mean,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42just saying I want to be policeman, that's what you said when you were eight, wasn't it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46It's like, "Punch my BCG, see how much pain I can take. Thank you."
0:11:46 > 0:11:49What would you have recommended for the school team,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51as opposed to what they did?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I think you could have carried the theme more, I mean,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57the other team, they had the military...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Nobody was dressed as a teacher!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Exactly, you could have had a bit more uniform.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- How does a teacher dress? - Well, the mortar and a hat.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, a corny teacher!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I didn't go to that kind of school, did I?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Well, that's not what a real army man looks like, either.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- In a suit, with his two black lines.- Really?!
0:12:24 > 0:12:28That's not what a flamingo looks like a lot of the time, either.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32It's like rigid, and about eight feet tall.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Or fire.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Nothing...looked like it was.- OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It's the corporate world, it's the world of magic and illusion.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45On the awayday itself, you were twinned in the kitchen with Jason,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47which has happened before on the farm shop task
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and you have become a fairly slick machine, the two of you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Jason's speed is one speed, which is glacial...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Quality takes time!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I'm getting worried that our standards are slipping.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02She's very, very quick in what she does,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06especially if she's in the kitchen. Bang, bang, chop, chop.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11No, carry on peeling. Quick as you can, mate.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Leave that to me. No, no, I'm doing them.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15How do you do the time?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Just twist it and press start.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I'm trying to figure out how to do it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Just get it out first.- It is in.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Just go like that and press play.- Oh, OK.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Awww!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31He's sweet!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I don't think it's, "Press play," by the way, on a microwave.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It's a really dull film of your lasagne slowly
0:13:42 > 0:13:44rotating around at a set speed.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47In the kitchen,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- was there tactically a bad mistake?- Jason?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Well, is Jason tactically a bad mistake?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Jason is the mascot of the whole show, I mean,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59we can't lose Jason, I mean, every time you see him,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02you just start smiling, but I would never want to work with him,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I would never want him to work for me,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I would never want to do a task with him, I can't believe he's still in the show.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- Would you want to invest £250,000 in him?- £2.50 at most...with Jason!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15But we love him, he's just lovable.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18He's such a nice guy, how can you not like him?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- He is fab, and eccentric.- But is he of any use at all in the kitchen?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Actually, you know, he did get quite polished in the end,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and he was pretty slick by the end. I whipped him into shape.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Good for you, very good.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I quite like Jason, I know he's a bit bimbling,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm not quite sure what his business is.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Nobody can imagine what his business is.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43He's taking scrapings from Egyptian ruins
0:14:43 > 0:14:45in order to examine them...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48He's got this massive horse, "I'm going to hold soldiers inside it,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52"and we'll go into a fortress, it'll be brilliant.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54"Troy won't know what's coming!"
0:14:54 > 0:14:57"I want to rewrite Carter's history of 18th-century Protestant churches.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59"It's not representative at all."
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It will be something, if he comes in,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05it will be something really wrong,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09he will be like, "Yes, I want to export people to work in mines."
0:15:11 > 0:15:13What?! Where did this come from?!
0:15:13 > 0:15:16"Young people, I will make them work hard,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18"with their little fingers digging for diamonds."
0:15:18 > 0:15:20What?!
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Really Cockney or something. "I want to open a Wetherspoons!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27"With a difference. Wallop!"
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Randomly open an off-licence in a really bad area,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32in the middle of the night
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and we'll sell the booze cheap, you know what I mean?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39That's my plan. Yeah, it's not going to be that, let's face it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41While we're on the subject of Jason, by the way,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45we're always on the lookout for candidates' little traits and habits.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47And this is what we found about him.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I just feel that... FLY BUZZES
0:15:50 > 0:15:51I think it's... TONGUE SLURPING
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I'm...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55And...
0:15:55 > 0:15:56TONGUE SLURPING
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I just feel that...
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Yeah...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Watching them...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I'll have some water.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16FLIES BUZZING
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Usually when the candidates dislike something, they say it's
0:16:30 > 0:16:33out of their comfort zone, and Luisa does speak more bluntly.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I hate the corporate world, the boring black suits.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What do you think this is? We're in the corporate world.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41You can't go into something saying, "I don't agree, I dislike it."
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I think a lot of empty words are spoken in the corporate world.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50- You're talking to leading people from the corporate world, saying you don't like what they do.- Successful
0:16:50 > 0:16:52cos they don't stand there and talk a load of crap to people.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55You might find that a rough attitude when you get in front of the bank,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58asking for investment in your business.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You say you're very unforgiving
0:17:00 > 0:17:03and, "If you push me and push me, I will flip.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06"And when I flip, you don't want to be there."
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I'm not difficult to work with.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I find Luisa obstinate and argumentative.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt today.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19You're 25 years old. But I've got my eye on you, OK?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Yeah, it does seem an unusual show to go on
0:17:22 > 0:17:24if you hate the corporate world.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27It was such a weird way to open though, wasn't it?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Imagine if I sat here and went, "I hate the whole show,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33"I hate The Apprentice. First question please, Dara."
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Do you know what I hate? I hate ice and I hate dancing.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40And I really hate dancing ON ice. Welcome to Dancing On Ice.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Karren's point was very well made in the boardroom.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Most of Karren's point was made in the look Karren gave
0:17:48 > 0:17:52after she made the point. When she kind of went...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You and Luisa didn't get on particularly well.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Well, you know, big characters, big egos, you know.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I think she's pretty one-track minded. She's very focused.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06So, we'll see how she goes from here.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Yes.- It'll be interesting to see. I'll enjoy it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13RUSSELL MAKES CAT NOISE
0:18:13 > 0:18:16We do like an honest candidate on this show.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- How are you finding it? Have you been watching Luisa? She's fiery. - I quite like Luisa.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25She keeps going on about, "It's just not easy being this fit.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29"Do you know what it's like to be this hot? It's so random!"
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I think she's like... The thing about her, she's Real Talk Lu.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37You know, it goes in brain, goes straight out the mouth
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and if she doesn't like you, she just says it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Obviously, in this task, you know, by letting the cat out of the bag
0:18:44 > 0:18:48by saying, "I don't like corporate," was just unbelievable.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50OK, well, I want you to brace yourself, though,
0:18:50 > 0:18:55because we do now get to hear what Lord Sugar and your former colleagues have to say about you.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Rebecca was behind the flawed decisions of hiring
0:19:01 > 0:19:04a motivational speaker and the wine-tasting.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09She's just, like, the glorified cook, really, and good salesperson.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11On the second day, she played it safe.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14She put herself in the kitchen. Lord Sugar's not looking for a cook,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17he's looking for a business partner, and I don't think that's her.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Rebecca failed to demonstrate that she has the judgement that is needed
0:19:21 > 0:19:25to go into a joint venture with me, and that's why I fired Rebecca.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Frustrating, irritating? - Yeah, disappointing.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34You know, Lord Sugar - I value his opinion.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39And, you know, everybody else - they're entitled to theirs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Fair enough! I get the impression of how much value you put on it, though!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46What have you learned from this process?
0:19:46 > 0:19:51I think to have conviction in myself and really push that through.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Yeah, definitely be a bit more forceful in that way.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Are you still in surgical sales?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I'm still in surgical sales, which I absolutely love,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00but I'm also going ahead with my business plan
0:20:00 > 0:20:02which I wanted to put towards Lord Sugar,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06which is selling moissanite online.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Your business is... Yeah, it's... - It's a gem, moissanite.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14You've brought... The list of things you've brought to market...
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Yeah. I used to manufacture, so I used to sell bindis.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Wow. I love those. They're gorgeous.- They're things you stick on your head.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You brought bindis over to us
0:20:23 > 0:20:27because you went to India looking for a business idea.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I went to India with a grand, and I knew I was going to set up a business
0:20:30 > 0:20:34and I came back with a few bindis, and I just came back at the right time
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and I managed to get them into all the big department stores,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40so, yes, I kind of created this huge craze.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Then went from bindis to henna, essentially...- So Madonna went to India
0:20:43 > 0:20:47to do her video, Frozen, and then I was supplying Miss Selfridge,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50so I was in the right place at the right time. Sole Indian supplier,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53so I brought out the first henna kit and then flooded the market.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57And then from being a henna artist, I met lots of other performers
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- and it just seemed a natural progression to set up an agency.- OK.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Now to the winning team. Leah may have been project manager,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07but it was Sergeant Neil who saved the day.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11"Good morning, Sergeant Neil," is what I am actively looking for.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- ALL:- Good morning, Sergeant Neil.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I like being branch manager. But a bigger branch, you know, bigger challenges.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Great shot! Well done. Congratulations.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24My motivation comes from when I was 18 years of age
0:21:24 > 0:21:26and my dad passed away from cancer.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Dad wanted to push me to be a football player.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I played semi-professional football
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and I thought that was going to be my dream.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Neil's really stood out for me. He's very engaging.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38He's very warm and he can relate to everyone on a personal level,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41which is so important with this type of event.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Everybody should always have one key motivation,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46make sure that you do everything you can to go out and get it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- I have to tell you, they were very impressed with you, Neil.- Thank you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Very impressed indeed. - SUPERHERO MUSIC CLIMAXES
0:21:54 > 0:21:56He's always been very brash, very confident.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Every week, he says something along the lines of, "I suppose Neil Clough will have to save the day."
0:22:01 > 0:22:03He does like putting things on the record
0:22:03 > 0:22:07in which he gives speeches about how Neil Clough will do when Neil Clough has to face this task
0:22:07 > 0:22:11because that's what Neil Clough does. Neil Clough just get up and does it, right? But he did.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I was really surprised.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I didn't think he'd be such a great motivational speaker.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19But he did really well. And the client really responded well to him.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21A bit of humility as well.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- There was a side to him...- Different side.- Yeah, and I think he started talking about his father who passed,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30and that changed everything. That could change everything for him in this series, you know,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34if he doesn't go back to the brash Neil. I really liked him in this.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36He was amazing.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Also smart. Himself and Myles,
0:22:38 > 0:22:43they were actually talking business to people as they were doing the archery.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Just the two of them, just going one by one and speaking to the client
0:22:46 > 0:22:50about actually the message that they were trying to get over,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- and speaking individually to people... REBECCA:- It came across really professional.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57It was less gimmicky and just a bit more real, I suppose.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- As soon as you think someone's being honest, you engage with them a bit more.- Yes.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Two weeks ago, Alex offered to dress up as a scarecrow,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08so it probably wasn't a huge stretch for him to unleash this character.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10DRUMS START
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Oi! No! Don't touch my eyebrows. - Leave his eyebrows.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16..someone who makes me very very nervous. Colonel!
0:23:16 > 0:23:21MUSIC: Theme from "The A-Team"
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- We put Alex in a sergeant major role...- Colonel.- Colonel.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Colonel! Let's get one thing clear.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32"Yes, Colonel," I'd like to hear. Right! Attention!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Attention, please!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37A bit pantomime at times, Alex.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Please walk your team this way!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Excuse me, sir.- I hear noise! That was absolutely disgraceful.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Disgusting. You have three minutes left!
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I think the Colonel's got plenty of ego to go around.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07It's not an enormous complex character to get into,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09but I like the commitment of a man
0:24:09 > 0:24:13who doesn't want his imaginary rank reduced.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20I worked long and hard to become an imaginary colonel
0:24:20 > 0:24:24and a member of the women's RAF isn't going to lower me down
0:24:24 > 0:24:27to imaginary lieutenant here in this situation.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- He took it a bit too seriously, didn't he?- Yeah, he loved it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34He got into the character. That's why I think their team
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and their theme was carried throughout.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41He carried it off. It kind of worked in the end.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Is there a gig available for him? Would you use him?- I'd book you looking like that.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Thank you very, very much. I'm very proud of this.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50It took ages to work out the make-up techniques...
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Actually, I think I look weird. They're going the same way!
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I just realised. It's supposed to be that. I've done it wrong again.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I'm just not as good at this as he is, because he puts the hours in.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08We got to see the work that's done on Alex. And this was exciting.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- We're just doing a tidy up.- Yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14# I feel pretty, oh so pretty... #
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Alex, what are you having done?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I'm having my eyebrows done.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I've got to look after myself, don't I?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23# See the pretty girl in that mirror there... #
0:25:23 > 0:25:28The thing is with my eyebrows, I've got to keep them in shape. I've got to look good, don't I?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30# Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress, such a pretty smile... #
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Oh, this is nice.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33My eyebrows are perfection.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Bravo, bravo.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Yeah... I'm not entirely sure what look I've gone for
0:25:50 > 0:25:52on this particular situation.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56I should have just gone for permanently surprised.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01That's a much better technique than the one he's using.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Is that too much? As a lady, is that a bit much now, the eyebrow thing?
0:26:05 > 0:26:11- The thing is, he's obviously carrying it off really well.- Come on!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Everybody knows Alex from his eyebrows.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- He's the first candidate you'll remember...- That's your dream!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I want everybody to know me for my eyebrow.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- There's something memorable about him.- His eyebrows?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27That's the extent of it. As a man who coifs...
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I like the way you skipped me!
0:26:30 > 0:26:35There's nothing wrong with a bit of coiffing and a bit of topiary wherever you want to do it,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37it's just facial topiary is just a bit camp.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39He's gone too far back, hasn't he?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42You don't want it indicate an emotion by what you've done to your eyebrow.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44You want something neutral.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Grand. Now, we have to go to our vote, I'm afraid.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50And we're going to go to the three of you first.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Archie, do you think - and just going on the three who were
0:26:53 > 0:26:56in the boardroom at the time - Lord Sugar was right to fire Rebecca?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I think if you'd have fought a bit harder, you probably,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02you know, could have helped save yourself.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, because I don't think you fought hard enough,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- I kind of have to agree with the decision.- Fair enough.- OK, Trevor?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13No, I disagree. I don't think you should have been fired at all.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I think Francesca should have been fired.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- What do you think?- I'm going to have to agree.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20I mean, I think Francesca showed that on the inside
0:27:20 > 0:27:24there wasn't much going on with all the lingo, so I would have fired Francesca.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Let's go to the audience. If you agree with Lord Sugar, please hold up "fired".
0:27:28 > 0:27:30If you disagree, hold up "hired".
0:27:30 > 0:27:32RUSSELL: Look at that, look at that.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35That's almost entirely green. Yes, hired.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's of no real value.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But nonetheless you should be very happy with that.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- I'm very happy with that. Thank you so much.- It's a small thing,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45but it's a thing nonetheless to take away.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Speaking of small things to take away, though, from all this,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51we do like to give - it's only a tiny gift - but we do want to give you it.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53If you're ever in the position again
0:27:53 > 0:27:56where you are standing in front of people speaking about a topic
0:27:56 > 0:27:58that you clearly know nothing about,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01this is The Bluffer's Guide To Wine.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Thank you!- We want you to study this and learn grape -
0:28:04 > 0:28:09just grape, not just price, not just "It was on a high shelf or a low shelf."
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- There's so much more. We'd like you to have this.- Thank you so much.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16That's lovely. Thanks.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20APPLAUSE
0:28:20 > 0:28:24You made it to the halfway stage, Rebecca. Here are your highlights.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28I don't let people walk over me in life or in business.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32I'm confident, I'm assertive and I'm confrontational when needed.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Hello there, ladies. Good afternoon. Do come over.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I'm plain speaking.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59Very decent. A great pleasure to be around.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02You went in and you nailed it, and we're all really proud of you.

0:30:02 > 0:30:03Do you have plugs when you go camping?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Old, old, old.
