This was mayhem.

0:00:020:00:03

That don't look good.

0:00:030:00:04

It is not rocket science.

0:00:040:00:05

Couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

0:00:050:00:07

Bloody clueless.

0:00:070:00:09

You're fired.

0:00:090:00:10

You're fired.

0:00:100:00:11

You're fired.

0:00:110:00:13

CHEERING

0:00:160:00:18

Well.

0:00:240:00:26

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

0:00:260:00:30

One of those incredible, once in a blue moon special event shows

0:00:300:00:34

that people will be talking about for ages to come.

0:00:340:00:36

Yes, the almost unthinkable happened, Jason sold a caravan!

0:00:360:00:40

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

0:00:400:00:44

And in other news...double firing!

0:00:460:00:49

CHEERING

0:00:490:00:50

Yes.

0:00:500:00:52

As two candidates bite the dust,

0:00:520:00:53

we will be looking at why the wheels fell off their Apprentice dreams.

0:00:530:00:57

And then we'll focus on how Jason sold that caravan!

0:00:570:01:00

Let's meet our panel. Caravan entrepreneur Phil Daniels, comedienne Jenny Eclair,

0:01:000:01:04

and Lord Sugar's former global troubleshooter, Claude Littner, welcome to You're Fired.

0:01:040:01:10

Tonight's task of selecting products to sell at the Caravan Show

0:01:140:01:18

led to the project manager failing to sell himself to Lord Sugar.

0:01:180:01:22

Kurt,

0:01:220:01:23

you messed up on this task. OK? So, Kurt,

0:01:230:01:27

you're fired.

0:01:270:01:29

Please welcome Kurt Wilson.

0:01:350:01:38

CHEERING

0:01:380:01:41

Kurt, are you disappointed?

0:01:510:01:54

I honestly did think I was capable of winning, and even up to

0:01:540:01:58

the point where I got fired, I thought I was in with a chance.

0:01:580:02:00

Really?

0:02:000:02:02

Up until that moment?

0:02:020:02:03

Well, I knew when I was into the boardroom that I was up against it.

0:02:030:02:06

I had an idea, well I had more than an idea, that we haven't sold any

0:02:060:02:09

and that I was going to be up against it.

0:02:090:02:11

I was disappointed, but at the same time,

0:02:110:02:13

I went out on something that I controlled, and I took a gamble on.

0:02:130:02:16

-And for that, I'm quite happy.

-OK, fair enough.

0:02:160:02:18

Let's take a look at where it all went wrong.

0:02:180:02:21

Caravan, caravan, caravan, check, check, check!

0:02:220:02:25

-Let's see how old these are now.

-Over 50s. Definitely over 50s.

0:02:250:02:28

-You concluded that your target market was 50-year-olds.

-Old. Old.

0:02:280:02:32

-Old.

-Old.

-Old.

-Old.

-And yet you go and choose this retro thing.

0:02:320:02:37

Why did you do that? Because you liked it?

0:02:370:02:39

We obviously love the product.

0:02:390:02:41

-They are really, really cool.

-I think I could live here.

0:02:410:02:44

I like the fridge.

0:02:440:02:45

We love them.

0:02:450:02:47

-Did he put an age on his target market?

-35 to 45...

0:02:470:02:50

-Retro camper.

-Retro camper it is.

0:02:500:02:53

£33,000 compared to £1,500 is a bloody disgrace!

0:02:530:02:58

-If I would have picked the right item...

-And you haven't!

0:02:580:03:02

I'll say this for you, you're quite...

0:03:020:03:04

I mean, when he came back to you, you went,

0:03:040:03:06

"If I hadn't made that other mistake,

0:03:060:03:08

"then the other mistakes I hadn't made

0:03:080:03:10

"wouldn't have mattered as much." You took it on the chin.

0:03:100:03:13

I knew exactly what I was doing. I took a chance, based on that.

0:03:130:03:16

If I had sold something that was worth more money,

0:03:160:03:18

I could have sold less of them.

0:03:180:03:19

Plus, we were passionate about it

0:03:190:03:21

and I know the other ones would have sold more

0:03:210:03:23

and looking back at it, it's go for the one that sold the most.

0:03:230:03:26

It seems obvious, but there was an opportunity there to take a chance

0:03:260:03:29

and I took it, and it didn't pay off for me. So...

0:03:290:03:31

Tell me a bit about this caravan holiday that you went on

0:03:310:03:33

-that gave you so much insight.

-LAUGHTER

0:03:330:03:35

We travelled France for about six weeks

0:03:350:03:38

when I was about eight or nine years old.

0:03:380:03:40

LAUGHTER

0:03:400:03:42

And were you taking notes at the time?

0:03:420:03:45

Were you going, "Old, old..."

0:03:450:03:48

I was chief chemical toilet man.

0:03:480:03:50

-Oh, really?

-That was my job.

0:03:500:03:52

So I think I had a good experience over there.

0:03:520:03:54

Would you ever go on a caravan holiday again?

0:03:540:03:56

Maybe not for a while.

0:03:560:03:58

Very good. If I can come to you, Phil, by the way.

0:03:580:04:01

Essentially, you're a steel magnate.

0:04:010:04:05

I love the man who you can say, "You're a steel magnate",

0:04:050:04:07

and he goes, "Yeah, yeah, I am."

0:04:070:04:09

Latterly, moved into caravans because you're a caravan enthusiast.

0:04:090:04:13

Did you see any enthusiasm?

0:04:130:04:15

They misjudged the industry?

0:04:150:04:18

The fact you put yourself forward, I was thinking, "This could be really good."

0:04:180:04:21

But you could have sold yourself. You could have got up there

0:04:210:04:24

and made a name for yourself and impressed Lord Sugar.

0:04:240:04:26

That was what you wanted to do?

0:04:260:04:27

-You took it on, and selling it yourself as well in order to impress.

-Exactly.

0:04:270:04:31

We'd reached a stage where we'd gone past halfway through it,

0:04:310:04:34

it was time to try to make a name for yourself

0:04:340:04:36

and stand out from the crowd.

0:04:360:04:38

And I couldn't agree with you more. If I had...

0:04:380:04:41

If I'd got it right,

0:04:410:04:42

if I'd picked the right products - which I nearly did -

0:04:420:04:44

then this would have been a completely different ball game. LAUGHTER

0:04:440:04:47

And that's the truth. And I wouldn't be speaking here now.

0:04:470:04:50

Maybe I would have been a lot further along

0:04:500:04:52

in a completely different position.

0:04:520:04:54

You didn't look that interested when you were selling.

0:04:540:04:56

I can see you sat here, smiling now,

0:04:560:04:58

but on the show, you looked really serious and sombre

0:04:580:05:00

and you weren't putting yourself out there looking for a sale.

0:05:000:05:03

Did you think that the sales technique was a bit too laid-back?

0:05:030:05:05

Yeah, yeah. And you need that killer instinct.

0:05:050:05:08

You can't let them go off the stand.

0:05:080:05:09

You let too many people go, from what we saw.

0:05:090:05:11

I wouldn't agree with that.

0:05:110:05:12

I don't think the people were there who were the type of people to buy it

0:05:120:05:15

and that's the mistake I made.

0:05:150:05:16

I wouldn't say that we let people go, by any stretch of imagination, no.

0:05:160:05:19

Jenny, are you a caravan fan?

0:05:190:05:21

Well, anybody who's experienced Sani Lav splashback

0:05:210:05:24

will always view the caravan with caution.

0:05:240:05:27

But yes, as a child, I did caravan.

0:05:270:05:29

And my parents had the smallest caravan in the world.

0:05:290:05:32

It was called a Sprite 400, because it was designed for sprites.

0:05:320:05:35

But I understood why you went for the retro camper van

0:05:370:05:41

-because they're fabulous.

-They do look great, don't they?

0:05:410:05:43

-They are fabulous. They really are.

-I'm 53 and I quite...

0:05:430:05:47

I can see myself in a retro camper van quite easily.

0:05:470:05:51

Claude, were you... Sales technique as much as...?

0:05:510:05:53

I would first like to say that my experience of caravans

0:05:530:05:56

is just being stuck behind them,

0:05:560:05:57

and they're very annoying.

0:05:570:05:59

But as far as the technique, I think you chose the wrong product.

0:05:590:06:03

I think you've admitted to that.

0:06:030:06:05

Your technique of selling was also amiss.

0:06:050:06:07

You showed no enthusiasm

0:06:070:06:09

and I think you made a few little technical hitches along the way,

0:06:090:06:12

which I think did for you.

0:06:120:06:13

Let's take a break from caravans just for a moment

0:06:130:06:16

and revisit some of the earlier tasks.

0:06:160:06:18

Because you've been great in how you got involved

0:06:180:06:20

and the ideas you contributed.

0:06:200:06:21

For example, the design task of four weeks ago.

0:06:210:06:24

The boys' team had a superb victory with Alex's Foldo chair,

0:06:240:06:28

but who knows what heights they could have reached

0:06:280:06:31

had they simply followed your grand vision.

0:06:310:06:33

I've got an idea.

0:06:330:06:35

We have the chair base,

0:06:350:06:36

and then at the bottom would be a barrel

0:06:360:06:38

and then in the top, on which we could put a cover,

0:06:380:06:41

would be areas to recycle our stuff.

0:06:410:06:43

And then underneath each one

0:06:430:06:44

would have a little area to catch that.

0:06:440:06:46

'Particularly horrible idea from Kurt.

0:06:460:06:50

'It was a chair that you sit on, into which you put

0:06:500:06:52

'all your recycling material.'

0:06:520:06:54

Fish bones, tin cans, such and such.

0:06:540:06:58

I personally wouldn't want a recycling thing in my living room.

0:06:580:07:01

I've never come across such a revolting idea.

0:07:010:07:04

APPLAUSE

0:07:040:07:07

A business idea for the future maybe?

0:07:110:07:14

That was a brainstorming event... LAUGHTER

0:07:140:07:17

That wasn't the only idea that I had,

0:07:170:07:19

but that was the one that came to the forefront

0:07:190:07:21

and unfortunately, it wasn't the greatest.

0:07:210:07:23

But I'd like to point out, you don't recycle food

0:07:230:07:25

and it wasn't going in the living room. It was going in the kitchen.

0:07:250:07:28

You're absolutely right.

0:07:280:07:29

It wouldn't have smelled of fish bones, it would have smelled of tin cans.

0:07:290:07:32

-You're right.

-Plastic bottles...

-Tin cans, which often contain food.

0:07:320:07:35

But no, you're right. This is true, you have to clean them.

0:07:350:07:38

And your recyclers will thank you for that. You're absolutely right.

0:07:380:07:41

-We didn't say it was a composting chair.

-No, exactly.

0:07:410:07:44

Surely for caravanning, when space is at such a premium,

0:07:440:07:47

have you considered this as a design for your caravans?

0:07:470:07:49

There is no space for that in a caravan.

0:07:490:07:51

But you've got to put your rubbish somewhere, why not hide it underneath yourself?

0:07:510:07:55

You have a little... On the door, you have a little thing

0:07:550:07:57

-that goes up and you chuck it in.

-That's all.

0:07:570:07:59

It's already been prepared.

0:07:590:08:01

OK, of course we couldn't let this moment pass

0:08:010:08:03

without asking you about this,

0:08:030:08:05

which you brought back all the way from Dubai.

0:08:050:08:07

I think this was a magical moment.

0:08:070:08:09

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:08:090:08:13

At what point when this was produced did you go, "That's not right"?

0:08:170:08:22

As soon as we arrived into the factory when we picked it up,

0:08:220:08:25

I seen it and went, "Oh, no..."

0:08:250:08:26

And did you know what you'd done? Had you worked it out?

0:08:260:08:29

As soon as I went, "I've done inches, I've done inches."

0:08:290:08:32

I can even remember calculating it in the car,

0:08:320:08:34

thinking about people's heights

0:08:340:08:36

and then when we picked it up I thought, "Oh, no. Oh, no."

0:08:360:08:40

-How many centimetres in a foot?

-30.

-Yeah. How many pounds in kilogram?

0:08:400:08:46

-2.2.

-See, you've got it, it's all there! Yeah, exactly.

0:08:460:08:49

I do know conversions, I'm not daft. LAUGHTER

0:08:490:08:53

I was under pressure at that point.

0:08:530:08:55

-And to be fair, to be fair...

-The other two! The other two!

0:08:550:08:58

..I remember at least one of them going, "Yeah that's right, yeah, that's right."

0:08:580:09:02

And then both of them took a step back and went,

0:09:020:09:04

"Oh, I never got involved."

0:09:040:09:05

And then lift and separate. Moved away, clearly your mistake.

0:09:050:09:08

I thought this was fantastic, this is the finest thing ever.

0:09:080:09:10

I thought it was just absolutely glorious. Were you impressed?

0:09:100:09:13

It was a great moment, I mean, it was so stunningly wrong.

0:09:130:09:16

It is a good sign because... Well, it's a simple mistake to make.

0:09:160:09:18

-Come on, in business...

-No, I think that's a fatal mistake.

0:09:180:09:21

That could have lost you everything.

0:09:210:09:23

If you were in business and you made that kind of mistake

0:09:230:09:25

and ordered 10,000, 100,000, whatever it is,

0:09:250:09:27

you're out of business.

0:09:270:09:28

And I would have spotted that. In a people carrier driving around Dubai,

0:09:280:09:32

when you've got eight hours to buy stuff - that's why I made the mistake.

0:09:320:09:35

But that's the pressure of business. Sometimes you make mistakes

0:09:350:09:37

-because you're under pressure. But business can be pressure.

-Of course.

0:09:370:09:41

Always blame it on jetlag.

0:09:410:09:43

All right, Kurt.

0:09:440:09:45

Brace yourself, Kurt, for comments from Lord Sugar

0:09:450:09:48

and your former colleagues.

0:09:480:09:49

The first lesson of business is to make sure

0:09:500:09:53

that you choose the right product for your potential market,

0:09:530:09:56

and Kurt didn't do that.

0:09:560:09:58

I do think that the one error that's crept in here

0:09:580:10:01

is not really listening enough to the research

0:10:010:10:04

that really did indicate

0:10:040:10:05

the profile of people attending would be more senior.

0:10:050:10:07

Kurt was too busy trying to prove to Lord Sugar,

0:10:070:10:10

"I'm actually a good candidate",

0:10:100:10:11

rather than trying to get the team together

0:10:110:10:13

and ensure we do have a successful win

0:10:130:10:15

with some serious strategy behind us.

0:10:150:10:17

Quite clearly, most of what went wrong with this task

0:10:170:10:20

lies at Kurt's door.

0:10:200:10:22

And that's why Kurt had to go.

0:10:220:10:24

What's your reaction to that?

0:10:260:10:28

Yeah. I think I admitted in the boardroom

0:10:280:10:29

that it was predominantly my fault.

0:10:290:10:31

I knew where I'd made mistakes, I knew where I'd taken a chance.

0:10:310:10:34

And it didn't pay off for me, so, yeah, that was fair.

0:10:340:10:37

But you're continuing with the trade

0:10:370:10:39

that you were going to go to Lord Sugar for investment?

0:10:390:10:42

Sort of, yeah. The existing business I already had

0:10:420:10:44

really exploded in the last couple of months,

0:10:440:10:46

so I'm focused on that and we want to take it even bigger.

0:10:460:10:49

Do you have an interesting story, Phil, of how you started into this?

0:10:490:10:52

Steel, that would be an exciting thing in itself,

0:10:520:10:54

but to go from steel to building caravans, what was the leap for you?

0:10:540:10:58

OK, I caravanned as a child, thoroughly enjoyed it.

0:10:580:11:01

So I owned a steel business I've had for ten years,

0:11:010:11:04

I bought my own caravans, I've had three.

0:11:040:11:06

And baby number three came along, we had three kids,

0:11:060:11:09

and my wife just said, "Phil, these are too claustrophobic.

0:11:090:11:11

"I just feel crammed in, I don't like caravanning.

0:11:110:11:13

"I know you like the fresh air, I know you like caravanning."

0:11:130:11:16

I knew somebody that worked at Thetford, that sells the toilets into the caravan industry,

0:11:160:11:20

and he said, "You know, they do slide-outs in the States."

0:11:200:11:22

So I literally imported one from America with a slide-out

0:11:220:11:25

-and just thought...

-Sorry, what's a slide-out?

0:11:250:11:27

You get a seven-foot-six caravan and the whole wall slides out two-and-a-half foot.

0:11:270:11:31

So when you get on site, it becomes ten foot.

0:11:310:11:33

That's not been done in the UK before,

0:11:330:11:34

so I thought, "Here's an opportunity."

0:11:340:11:37

Like a madman, frightened the accountant to death

0:11:370:11:39

and borrowed some money, and off we went.

0:11:390:11:40

-And you manufacture them here?

-We do, up in Widnes in the UK.

0:11:400:11:43

How many do you make in a year?

0:11:430:11:45

This year about 150, next year about 400.

0:11:450:11:48

We're the sort of top end, 25 grand, so we're not the cheapest of vans.

0:11:480:11:51

But for the top end, that's quite a decent market share sector.

0:11:510:11:54

And did you look at this guy and go,

0:11:540:11:56

"I've got the steel, you've got the toilets - this could be beautiful"?

0:11:560:11:59

LAUGHTER

0:11:590:12:00

OK. We are going to ask you for your vote.

0:12:000:12:02

Do you think, when faced with those three,

0:12:020:12:04

did Lord Sugar do the right thing? Would you have voted Kurt out?

0:12:040:12:08

-On the performance on there, yes.

-Jenny?

0:12:080:12:11

-Yes, I'm very sorry, Kurt, yes, I would.

-That's fine.

-Claude?

0:12:110:12:15

I'm not so sorry. Yes.

0:12:150:12:17

Always a bitter word from Claude.

0:12:170:12:19

Let's throw that to yourselves.

0:12:190:12:21

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

0:12:210:12:23

If you disagree, hold up "Hired".

0:12:230:12:26

Ooh! The red is hurting my eyes.

0:12:270:12:31

Thank you very, very much. OK.

0:12:310:12:33

Now, we always want to give a gift to somebody as they arrive.

0:12:330:12:36

-You think it's a flag, don't you?

-I've dreamt about it.

0:12:360:12:39

-You dreamt about getting the flag?

-Yeah, I've seen this happening.

-You really have?

0:12:390:12:42

Are you going to have to dance off the stage with the flag around you?

0:12:420:12:45

No, we're not giving you the flag.

0:12:450:12:48

Oh, no, that would be way too obvious to give you the flag

0:12:480:12:50

while instead we could give you...

0:12:500:12:52

the chair that has...

0:12:520:12:55

LAUGHTER

0:12:550:12:58

CHEERING

0:12:580:13:01

Oh, my... It works! It works beautifully.

0:13:010:13:04

It's comfy and underneath,

0:13:040:13:06

we've actually put chicken bones, banana peel and everything in there.

0:13:060:13:11

-That's not a recycling chair.

-I know, of course it's not a recycling chair.

0:13:110:13:15

I know your vision was not...

0:13:150:13:16

But look at it! Clearly this is a prototype.

0:13:160:13:18

We've only just started production,

0:13:180:13:20

we'll iron out those issues as it goes along.

0:13:200:13:22

Congratulations on reaching task seven, Kurt.

0:13:220:13:26

Here are your highlights.

0:13:260:13:27

I'm not full of rubbish. I know exactly what I want to do.

0:13:270:13:31

I want to be someone, I don't want to just be the average Joe.

0:13:310:13:34

If I know I'm right, I can convince everybody else the same.

0:13:340:13:37

Southbank Festival. 10,000 people there.

0:13:370:13:40

-I think the decision to come here was fantastic.

-You're completely right.

0:13:400:13:44

-Very good indeed.

-His face tells a million stories.

0:13:440:13:48

Grumpy in the mornings, but he's a really, really nice guy.

0:13:480:13:51

Extremely able in a very quiet way.

0:13:510:13:54

Congratulations, everyone! Team Endeavour.

0:13:540:13:57

I'm always looking at the next project and thinking two steps ahead.

0:13:570:14:00

Standing here right now doing nothing isn't good enough.

0:14:000:14:04

-APPLAUSE

-Ladies and gentlemen, Kurt Wilson!

0:14:060:14:09

See, normally, we'd be packing up to go home about now.

0:14:170:14:20

But not this week, because Lord Sugar wasn't done.

0:14:200:14:23

Someone else's Apprentice timer had run out.

0:14:230:14:25

Natalie, you've had a hell of a lot of chances in this process

0:14:250:14:30

and you haven't proved yourself to me at all.

0:14:300:14:34

So, Natalie, you're fired.

0:14:340:14:37

Thank you for the opportunity.

0:14:370:14:39

Please welcome Natalie Panayi.

0:14:420:14:45

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:14:450:14:48

Natalie, it's a pleasure to have you here.

0:14:570:14:59

If it gets too upsetting for you at any stage,

0:14:590:15:01

I'm just going to leave that there.

0:15:010:15:04

I know emotions can get volcanic as it goes along.

0:15:040:15:09

-What's your reaction to the show?

-I'm obviously devastated.

0:15:090:15:13

-Absolutely devastated.

-Were you gutted? Were you gutted to go out?

0:15:130:15:16

-I was really gutted, I wanted that so much.

-Oh, dear.

-I wanted it so much.

0:15:160:15:20

Well, listen, it was third time unlucky for you on this task.

0:15:200:15:23

The thing that you wanted was the bike...

0:15:230:15:25

-And the box.

-Yes.

0:15:250:15:26

-And you didn't get either.

-We didn't.

0:15:260:15:28

Leah was discussing the numbers, and perhaps you might have been...

0:15:280:15:31

It was you that continued.

0:15:310:15:33

Is there anything we could offer if we sold two bikes

0:15:330:15:36

-and we could do something?

-No.

0:15:360:15:38

I tell you what I'm confused about,

0:15:380:15:40

why Natalie thinks she could have sold dozens of caravans.

0:15:400:15:43

Well, I'm in recruitment. You've seen the figures.

0:15:430:15:45

Well, so what? What's that got to do with the price of cocoa?

0:15:450:15:48

The retro camper, isn't that a bit young for the over 50s?

0:15:480:15:52

-You're the person who says in hindsight...

-No...

0:15:520:15:54

It's a fair comment he makes. I've heard you say, "I did say that.

0:15:540:15:57

"I did think that. I did say that."

0:15:570:15:58

I said, "I've got an interest in fashion." That's my business idea.

0:15:580:16:01

I have to be able to choose things that other people are going to like.

0:16:010:16:05

You have the utmost confidence in yourself, don't you?

0:16:050:16:08

And yet you haven't delivered anything.

0:16:080:16:10

All right, explain to me the "but I work in recruitment"?

0:16:130:16:16

They were two sentences I've never seen.

0:16:160:16:18

"Why do you think you can sell caravans?" "I work in recruitment."

0:16:180:16:22

It was literally two random concepts put together for the first time.

0:16:220:16:25

"Why would you make a great astronaut?" "But I like bananas."

0:16:250:16:28

It was just two things pushed together.

0:16:280:16:31

-Do a lot of the people you recruit need caravans?

-No.

0:16:310:16:34

I think where I was going with that is the three most important

0:16:340:16:38

decisions you make in your life - getting married,

0:16:380:16:41

buying a house, changing job. That's kind of where I was going, so...

0:16:410:16:46

I'm consultative, I can talk people into kind of changing jobs,

0:16:460:16:48

so I can sell a caravan.

0:16:480:16:50

It's a big lifestyle thing.

0:16:520:16:53

It's a lot of money you're parting with.

0:16:530:16:55

-It is.

-That's kind of where I was going.

0:16:550:16:57

-I don't know if that came across.

-No. No.

0:16:570:17:00

You had the seven steps between A and B.

0:17:000:17:03

And you go - phumph! - all the way to B. Therefore caravan.

0:17:030:17:06

What are you? Idiots? You can't see the link here?!

0:17:060:17:08

It's ridiculous, for God's sake.

0:17:080:17:10

What kind of person can sell a caravan?

0:17:100:17:11

Someone hungry, can relate to the customer.

0:17:130:17:15

You need to listen to the time they've been on holiday, caravanning.

0:17:150:17:19

You know, really get involved with customer

0:17:190:17:21

-and make it a personal sale.

-Yes.

0:17:210:17:22

-You go through the story.

-I guess. I guess.

0:17:220:17:25

I get the bit you were linking. It's like recruitment.

0:17:250:17:27

Jenny, will you? Do you...?

0:17:290:17:31

Well, I didn't understand any of the girls most of the time

0:17:310:17:33

because you seemed so cross and bad-tempered.

0:17:330:17:35

I think if you'd worn more comfortable shoes...

0:17:350:17:39

I can't... Honestly, it really made me despair.

0:17:390:17:43

Can you just wear some shoes

0:17:430:17:44

that you can actually walk in and think in at the same time?!

0:17:440:17:48

I don't understand it. I don't get it.

0:17:480:17:50

The farm shop challenge.

0:17:500:17:52

They were particularly vertiginous - is the word I would use.

0:17:520:17:56

They were like you were en pointe for the entire week.

0:17:560:17:59

-And that's not appropriate.

-No, no, no.

0:17:590:18:01

But let me just explain.

0:18:010:18:03

They had a thick heel, so the weight was spread more evenly.

0:18:030:18:07

They weren't my most comfortable shoes. I mean, for high shoes.

0:18:070:18:11

So, you didn't pack a pair of pumps?

0:18:110:18:13

I did actually. I did wear one pair of pumps.

0:18:130:18:15

That was for the first task.

0:18:150:18:16

They were uncomfortable because I'm used to wearing heels.

0:18:160:18:19

It's about comfort.

0:18:190:18:21

-I don't come from the same world.

-No-one's put those two concepts together.

0:18:210:18:24

I wear heels. It's about comfort.

0:18:240:18:26

I work in recruitment. Caravan. Banana. Astronaut.

0:18:260:18:29

We're making leaps constantly over all this.

0:18:290:18:33

Was it about the passion?

0:18:330:18:35

Was it about the cumulative effect of

0:18:350:18:37

-being in the boardroom a few times?

-I do think so.

0:18:370:18:39

And I think, right from the start,

0:18:390:18:41

you were unnecessarily argumentative.

0:18:410:18:43

Whilst Alan Sugar does like someone who stands up for themselves,

0:18:430:18:47

I think you really went overboard and you grated.

0:18:470:18:50

You were very, very vicious.

0:18:500:18:51

And it sounds strange coming from me but, actually, I think

0:18:510:18:55

that you, you just played wrong.

0:18:550:18:56

I think you could have taken

0:18:560:18:58

a more delicate approach and succeeded.

0:18:580:19:00

I don't think that necessarily that was a game.

0:19:000:19:02

I think you get into a situation and you are like,

0:19:020:19:05

"I need to fight for my life here. And this is what I believe in."

0:19:050:19:08

I think maybe I'd been too quiet

0:19:080:19:10

on the tasks and I kind of got to a stage where was like, "Oh, my God!

0:19:100:19:14

"I need to not go now." So...

0:19:140:19:17

We have seen, in the boardroom,

0:19:170:19:19

we've seen two extremes of emotion from you, when you've been in there.

0:19:190:19:23

Being half-Greek, I can be very fiery, sometimes get very angry.

0:19:230:19:27

If people get on the wrong side of me, they feel my wrath.

0:19:270:19:29

Have you a problem working with women?

0:19:290:19:31

I think you are getting a bit carried away now.

0:19:310:19:34

You've been rude to me the whole time. You don't even...

0:19:340:19:36

You look at me as if I'm, I don't know,

0:19:360:19:38

something on the bottom of your shoe and it is disgusting.

0:19:380:19:41

When I'm under pressure,

0:19:410:19:42

if something is not going right and I can't control it, I can cry.

0:19:420:19:46

You said that I didn't have passion. I was devastated.

0:19:460:19:49

Your very last chance. I don't want to see you here again.

0:19:490:19:53

I don't care if it's unfair, it's the truth? Look me in the eyes.

0:19:550:19:58

-This is the truth.

-I am looking you in the eyes.

0:19:580:20:00

-Oh, man.

-She should have had some plates to smash in the boardroom.

0:20:080:20:12

-Smashing plates.

-I would have been happy then.

-That look at the end.

0:20:120:20:15

That look at the end. I know, I have seen that look of...

0:20:150:20:19

Just that look of, "I am so angry, I am not even talking to you.

0:20:210:20:24

"I'm that angry at you right now."

0:20:240:20:26

This was in the boardroom but I've seen that look of,

0:20:260:20:29

"You wait until we get back tonight. You just wait.

0:20:290:20:32

"Oh, you are going to pay for this in a huge way."

0:20:320:20:35

-It was vicious. It was crazy.

-I know. It's business.

0:20:350:20:40

It's not business. Are you like that in the boardroom?

0:20:400:20:43

-No, not at all.

-No.

0:20:430:20:44

All that Northern pragmatism about you, Phil. I don't see you crying.

0:20:440:20:47

-Have you cried in the boardroom?

-Never. No.

-Ever got a bit of

0:20:470:20:50

steel in your eye? I've got a bit of steel in my eye.

0:20:500:20:52

There's a little bit of a spark just there. Claude, ever cried?

0:20:520:20:56

-I've brought people to tears.

-You've brought people to tears?

0:20:560:20:59

That's not what I asked you. Can I ask you, if you've...?

0:20:590:21:02

-No, I can't say that's happened to me.

-OK.

0:21:020:21:04

I want to talk about your outdoorsyiness,

0:21:040:21:06

which was quite striking.

0:21:060:21:07

In this one, it was your exciting observations about

0:21:070:21:11

what that plank was in the middle of a rowing boat.

0:21:110:21:14

I still think that that's the table where you put your champagne

0:21:160:21:19

the two... Unless there's only one person in the boat.

0:21:190:21:22

-What kind of rowing trips...

-You have the two people there,

0:21:220:21:24

where does the champagne and strawberries go?

0:21:240:21:26

-I thought it went there.

-Champagne and strawberries?!

0:21:260:21:30

-And you're rowing and you've got the...

-I know the rowing.

0:21:300:21:34

The visit to the outdoors was in the farm shop task in week four,

0:21:340:21:37

when you visited a strange

0:21:370:21:39

and foreign place known as the countryside.

0:21:390:21:43

I'm not an animal person, I've never had pets.

0:21:430:21:45

MOOING

0:21:450:21:49

Oh, my lord! That looks...

0:21:490:21:50

If I run, will they charge?

0:21:500:21:52

-Look at this horse. Um...

-What horse?

-Dog. No.

0:21:520:21:56

-It's not a horse, it's a cow.

-Oh, my God! There's a bull.

0:21:560:21:59

Oh, my God! There's another bull behind you.

0:21:590:22:01

There's one that looks like he's going to charge, Neil. Look behind.

0:22:010:22:04

APPLAUSE

0:22:080:22:10

Do you mind if we test you just to see how you're doing on that?

0:22:120:22:15

Row one, hold up your pictures. The front row there, if you can.

0:22:150:22:18

Row one, hold up your pictures, thank you. What is that?

0:22:180:22:21

-A horse.

-That's a horse. That's a number of horses. Fantastic.

0:22:210:22:24

-That's a horse.

-Down. Row two. Down. Row two. Where are row two?

0:22:240:22:27

-Oh, dog.

-Dog. Great.

0:22:270:22:30

Down with that. Then, finally, now we know

0:22:300:22:32

what they are... They do look different -

0:22:320:22:34

dogs in different shapes and sizes.

0:22:340:22:37

That's what's so tricksy about them. Row three. Show us, row three.

0:22:370:22:41

Cow.

0:22:420:22:43

Yes!

0:22:430:22:45

What I love about you, which is fantastic, you brought these in.

0:22:520:22:55

-We didn't.

-No.

-Why did you bring these into show me?

0:22:550:22:59

Well, I wanted to show you because I thought...

0:22:590:23:02

These are what I had

0:23:020:23:03

when I was younger and I remember... Look, that's a horse.

0:23:030:23:08

This is a dog which does not look like a dog. And this is a cow

0:23:080:23:11

-which looks like a sheep. So I'm kind of...

-Hang on,

0:23:110:23:14

what part of the black-and-whiteness of that?

0:23:140:23:16

-Look at its face.

-Its face?

0:23:160:23:18

-It's face.

-It looks like a calf, to be honest.

0:23:180:23:22

It may look a bit like a sheep but it's black and white.

0:23:220:23:24

Have you ever seen... "Oh, you're him.

0:23:240:23:27

"He's the black-and-white sheep in the family."

0:23:270:23:29

So that's kind of me saying, you know, I...

0:23:320:23:34

-That this was your only experience of animals?

-No.

0:23:340:23:37

You know they're bigger than this? No wonder you were surprised.

0:23:400:23:43

But they're huge. Mine must have been far away.

0:23:430:23:47

We can't put it off any longer,

0:23:490:23:51

but we do have to hear the comments, which are going to be tough,

0:23:510:23:53

but here they are from Lord Sugar and your former colleagues.

0:23:530:23:57

This is the third time that Natalie was in the firing line.

0:23:590:24:02

You get there because, clearly,

0:24:020:24:03

you haven't made any contribution to the tasks.

0:24:030:24:07

Natalie hasn't really shown

0:24:070:24:09

and was also part of the team that didn't get the electric bikes.

0:24:090:24:13

In Wales, we would say Natalie is a bit tup, which is a bit ditzy.

0:24:130:24:16

For example, we were in the boat and she was asking me if

0:24:160:24:18

the plank is actually a table for people to serve themselves from.

0:24:180:24:21

Natalie puts up a great fight in the boardroom

0:24:210:24:24

but I think that she overestimates her abilities,

0:24:240:24:27

that's why she's not the business partner for me, so she had to go.

0:24:270:24:31

Oh...

0:24:330:24:34

What's your reaction to that?

0:24:340:24:36

They're right in what they're saying but I think I'd just like to...

0:24:360:24:39

-Watch this space.

-OK, that's fine.

0:24:390:24:41

You're starting off in a business.

0:24:410:24:43

Is the business a fashion business?

0:24:430:24:45

-It's a fashion business, yes. I'm wearing one.

-Dresses?

0:24:450:24:49

-Women's dresses, yes.

-OK, fine.

-So online.

0:24:490:24:52

-Yes, fingers crossed.

-OK.

0:24:520:24:54

The winning team did this so easily it's hardly worth analysing,

0:24:550:24:59

except for one thing.

0:24:590:25:01

Jason has come in for some...

0:25:010:25:03

DROWNED OUT BY CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:030:25:05

..for some criticism over the last few weeks but he nailed it tonight.

0:25:050:25:09

He nailed it, which was as surprising to us

0:25:090:25:13

as the praise was to him.

0:25:130:25:16

-See just how easy it is to slip in.

-I love your style.

-Ergonomic.

0:25:160:25:20

Whoo, good word.

0:25:200:25:22

INDISTINCT

0:25:220:25:23

Take care. Take care.

0:25:250:25:28

Phwoar!

0:25:310:25:32

They sold three of the folding campers.

0:25:330:25:36

Can you send Jason back in, please?

0:25:370:25:40

Could you go back into the boardroom, Jason?

0:25:400:25:42

-Don't have such a worried look on your face, Jason.

-Sorry.

0:25:530:25:56

I forgot to say one of those sales was down to you. Well done.

0:25:560:26:00

-I hope to keep impressing you.

-OK.

0:26:000:26:02

APPLAUSE

0:26:020:26:04

-He's sweet, isn't he?

-He's so sweet, such a lovely guy.

-I know.

0:26:110:26:14

And the way he walked backwards out of the room as

0:26:140:26:16

if Lord Sugar were the Queen, or something.

0:26:160:26:19

I'm dreadfully sorry. I'm dreadfully sorry.

0:26:190:26:21

I'm dreadfully sorry. I'm so sorry. And back out again.

0:26:210:26:24

Are you impressed with Jason? Were you impressed there?

0:26:240:26:27

I thought he'd sell at the caravan show

0:26:270:26:29

because he is a relational guy and, yeah, I thought

0:26:290:26:31

-direct to an end user in retail he'd sell, and he did.

-And you?

0:26:310:26:34

I'd have sacked him on the spot for the teddy bear

0:26:340:26:36

because I have an absolute horror of adult men with large teddy bears.

0:26:360:26:41

Apart from that, I understood why he sold at the caravan exhibition.

0:26:410:26:45

There is a element of it's the right market for him, and that gentle...

0:26:450:26:48

People aren't looking for a hard sell in that situation.

0:26:480:26:51

I just thought he came over beautifully on this task.

0:26:510:26:54

He really came into his own and I think it's great to see him

0:26:540:26:57

perform in a way that he hasn't done before.

0:26:570:26:59

-He was good.

-Yes.

0:26:590:27:00

OK. Now for your vote. It's about yourself now.

0:27:000:27:03

Phil, do you think Lord Sugar was right to fire Natalie?

0:27:030:27:07

-Yes.

-Yes, you do.

0:27:070:27:09

OK. Jenny?

0:27:090:27:10

-Yes. Yes.

-Claude?

0:27:100:27:13

-Reluctantly, yes.

-OK. We'll throw it out to the audience.

0:27:130:27:16

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

0:27:160:27:18

If you disagree, hold up "Hired".

0:27:180:27:19

There's more green than there was earlier, that you can take from it.

0:27:210:27:25

But generally, pretty much red, I'm afraid, for that.

0:27:250:27:28

Now, as you know on this show, we do like to give a little gift.

0:27:280:27:32

So what we've got you,

0:27:320:27:34

and it's the first of its kind ever in the world, right...

0:27:340:27:37

-OK.

-..it's your invention.

-OK. Can I patent it?

0:27:370:27:41

Oh, yeah. It's...

0:27:410:27:42

a boat.

0:27:420:27:43

-I love that!

-It's fun. It's...

0:27:540:27:55

It's exactly what people have been crying out for.

0:27:550:27:58

For your champagne, your strawberries,

0:27:580:28:00

when two of you are there. Absolutely.

0:28:000:28:02

-I will deflate that, you can take it home with you.

-Thank you so much.

0:28:020:28:05

And do you know the best bit about it? Can we lift it up?

0:28:050:28:08

Can we see it? Look, look, it's got a wheel!

0:28:080:28:10

APPLAUSE

0:28:100:28:14

Natalie, you made it past the halfway mark.

0:28:210:28:23

Here are your highlights.

0:28:230:28:24

PHONE RINGS

0:28:240:28:25

'I've got bags of ambition.' Hello.

0:28:250:28:28

And I want to succeed and I would do what it takes to make it work.

0:28:280:28:32

Oh, my God!

0:28:320:28:34

Oh, my God! I didn't say thank you.

0:28:340:28:35

'I think my secret weapon would be my charm.'

0:28:350:28:39

I use it to get what I want.

0:28:390:28:40

Come and get your milk. £1 milk. Look, there you go.

0:28:400:28:43

You can just pop it down, and pop that up. £80 for you.

0:28:430:28:47

You won't get cheaper than this!

0:28:470:28:49

I'm very fiery.

0:28:490:28:51

I'm definitely ruthless.

0:28:520:28:53

I don't take any crap from anybody.

0:28:540:28:57

And I always get what I want.

0:28:570:28:58

Oh, I love it!

0:28:580:29:00

She's so small and gorgeous but she's got a fire in her belly.

0:29:000:29:04

If it doesn't work out, I'll try a different direction but keep trying.

0:29:040:29:07

Don't give up.

0:29:070:29:09

Ladies and gentlemen, Natalie Panayi.

0:29:090:29:11

Well, what a night that has been.

0:29:160:29:19

That's all we've got time for.

0:29:190:29:20

Thanks to my guests and remember to go to our website at:

0:29:200:29:24

..for loads more clips and Matt Edmondson's awkward conversations.

0:29:250:29:29

Now, next week,

0:29:290:29:31

the candidates have to create an advertising campaign

0:29:310:29:35

for a dating website. But who will catch Lord Sugar's eye

0:29:350:29:38

for all the wrong reasons?

0:29:380:29:40

In the last ten years, the online dating industry has exploded.

0:29:400:29:45

I am a woman. I don't want to go out to a bar

0:29:460:29:48

and sit there and wait for men to come and talk to me.

0:29:480:29:51

-I'd run a mile.

-The first time I ever saw a picture of my wife was online.

0:29:510:29:54

-But it wasn't on the dating site.

-Some people are gay.

0:29:540:29:57

-Some people are lesbian.

-You're going to kiss him.

0:29:570:30:00

Bloody hell, right..

0:30:000:30:01

It was the most disgraceful display of bad manners.

0:30:010:30:04

-I've laid on some expert website designers.

-Make a decision.

0:30:040:30:08

Passion, vigour, excitement.

0:30:090:30:11

To be honest, I think it's boring.

0:30:110:30:13

I need you to impress me.

0:30:130:30:14

LAUGHTER

0:30:170:30:19

Total bloody mess.

0:30:190:30:21

They're not even the best bits. I can't wait.

0:30:220:30:24

See you at the same time next Wednesday. Good night.

0:30:240:30:27
