00:01I'm looking for a complete all-rounder and the bottom line is this process works.
00:08Lord Sugar is on the hunt for a brand new business partner.
00:13Over the course of the next 12 weeks you are out of your comfort zone.
00:18Ready to fight for his funding.
00:2218 aspiring entrepreneurs.
00:25This is a bad call on strategy. You haven't used any of your skills, any of your knowledge, any of the things that you claim that you're excellence in.
00:34On the table, a quarter million pound investment.
00:39And a 50-50 partnership with Britain's toughest backer.
00:44Supply and demand, that's what this is about. I'm demanding the answers. You better bloody well supply them.
00:50Let's go, let's go.
00:52It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:55What that stuff in there speaks to me like that again. I messed up a bit, didn't I?
01:0018 candidates.
01:02We're going to be explosive.
01:04Do not talk over me. I am talking to you.
01:0712 tough weeks.
01:10You tell people how terrible they are and you could do it better.
01:13Don't disrespect me.
01:15One life-changing opportunity.
01:18You're fired. You're fired. You've dug yourself a very, very big hole. You're fired.
01:24I want you to produce an advertising campaign for a shampoo.
01:39Aisha bossed the girls.
01:41If anybody is not productive in this team, they'll be coming into the boardroom with me. I don't care.
01:45Prickly personalities.
01:47Go away.
01:48We're filming.
01:49We're filming.
01:50We weren't happy with that.
01:52Left desert secret shrouded in mystery.
01:55I thought it was more a dirty secret.
01:57On the other team.
01:58They're going to be putting their hands in the air and they're going to be going like this.
02:01Sharp-shooting Richard.
02:02That looks quality.
02:04Just so simple.
02:05Just mmm.
02:06Spurred the boys on.
02:08Simple.
02:09Clean.
02:10On message.
02:11He looks like David Prince, doesn't he?
02:13To a resounding win.
02:15Yes!
02:16It was Richard and his seven assistants.
02:18The girls.
02:19Don't touch me.
02:20Okay.
02:21Got in a lather.
02:22I don't feel like Vanna really contributed much.
02:24You are actually telling a lie.
02:26Natalie washed her hands.
02:28If I'd have seen the product in the campaign, I'd have never wanted to pitch it.
02:31You cannot give up on your product.
02:33Ladies, it's a mess.
02:35Aisha's hopes went down the drain.
02:37You came up with the name, the brand, and you came up with the flower.
02:42And she became the second casualty of the boardroom.
02:45Aisha, you're fired.
02:48Now 16 candidates remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
03:01The winner out of you lot can have the honour of playing me.
03:14Okay.
03:15Oh, oh!
03:16How's that the phone ringing?
03:18Good morning.
03:19Joy, you're speaking.
03:20Good morning.
03:21Lord Sugar would like you to assemble in the wartime tunnels beneath Dover Castle.
03:30Please pack an overnight bag.
03:32The cars will be leaving for Kent in 20 minutes.
03:35You ready, guys?
03:37Wartime tunnel, underneath Dover Castle, 20 minutes, overnight bag.
03:53Where is Dover? I know it's on the coast, obviously. What coast?
03:57Maybe we're going to Ireland. Not from Dover. I just don't know.
04:02Now the victory today, I feel like you single-handedly won that task, didn't you?
04:06There wasn't any people beneath you that got instructed for a massive team effort.
04:10I think the quote was, Richard and his seven helpers, I think.
04:13Yeah, we helped you win a task.
04:29Don't you think now you've been PM you're going to be inclined to want to do it your way?
04:33No, not at all.
04:36Do you think he's going to split the teams up again?
04:40Probably. I don't know, maybe.
04:42Because I think as a team we pretty much stopped last time, so it might be nice to mix it up again.
04:46Dover Castle, Kent.
04:56Medieval fortress.
04:58Wartime command centre.
05:02Waiting, a dispatch from Lord Sugar.
05:15I'm sorry I can't be with you today, but I've been called away on some urgent business.
05:20You're in the secret wartime tunnels beneath Dover Castle, from where the mission to evacuate Dunkirk was launched during World War II.
05:30For this task I'm sending you on your own mission.
05:33Now if you want to be my business partner, I expect you to be able to negotiate anytime, anywhere, and most importantly, with anyone.
05:42So I'm sending half of you across the channel to Calais, while the others stay on the Kent coast.
05:50You have a list of items to buy and one day to do it in.
05:54And you'll need to work out where the best bargains are, in England or in France.
05:59Bon voyage and make sure you don't miss the ferry back.
06:05The teams are going to remain girls versus boys.
06:09Off you go.
06:11Two countries to search, nine items to find.
06:16First job, appoint a commander in chief.
06:22I speak French, and that will be a tool we can use quite well on the ground there.
06:27I have negotiating skills from when I worked in a bank.
06:31Yeah, I would like to put myself forward as well.
06:34I actually work in construction, so my job is making sure that people are where they need to be and doing what they need to do.
06:40Anyone who wants me as project manager, raise your hand.
06:45Anyone who wants Elle as project manager, raise your hand.
06:48I was born and bred in New York City, and that has taught me that you have to be street smart.
06:55But in the end of the day, I'm a true believer in karma, and I believe that what goes around comes around.
07:00Because Elle wanted to be PM, I'll make her sub-team leader, OK?
07:03Elle, I'm counting on you.
07:05Thank you very much, guys. I'm going to give you 100%. I expect 100% back.
07:10In charge of the boys...
07:13I want to see something from everybody, OK?
07:15..gas engineer, Joseph.
07:17I want to establish who's the top sellers.
07:19Can I say it's a negotiation, not selling?
07:21Yeah, selling is a negotiation, but flip the other way around.
07:27So, who thinks...
07:29Can I maybe make a suggestion? Who can speak French?
07:32I've got that there. Who can speak French?
07:35I feel Richard does struggle being told what to do.
07:39I think he tries to lead every situation that he's in.
07:42Has anybody got a qualification in French?
07:44I would feel comfortable negotiating with a French person.
07:48I have an A-level.
07:49Sounds very good.
07:51I really do not like working with him at all.
07:55Right, so we need to find out what products we're going to get from England,
07:58what products we're going to get from France.
08:00Next job, scrutinise the shopping list.
08:03I've done the inflatable boat England, the manure England,
08:07the anchor, either or...
08:08France slash England.
08:09With the mussels, England could be cheap as well.
08:12Lever's Lace.
08:13What is that, sorry?
08:14I don't know what that is.
08:15Where are we getting that, England or France or something?
08:17We can negotiate either way over the phones,
08:19because this isn't set in stone.
08:21France, we're going to be getting the mirror,
08:23the snails, the cheese, the mussels.
08:26From Varna, a plan to divide and conquer.
08:29And then in the UK, we're going to be getting the lace,
08:32the anchor, the boat and the manure.
08:34Is everyone clear on what they're buying?
08:36Some of them might have the option of buying in either country.
08:38I don't plan on swapping.
08:39Varna delegated the different things to either France or the UK very quickly.
08:44I was a bit worried about that because the lace, we don't even know what it is.
08:48Until you know what an item is, you don't know how much it costs,
08:50and that's what this task is all about.
08:52All right.
08:53I want this to be well-managed.
08:55I'm going to need you guys to be on top of everything at all times
08:58and communicate well with each other.
08:59OK?
09:00OK.
09:01I need you to respect each other.
09:03The female team can't get caddy.
09:05Let's go.
09:06Be as cheeky as you can, negotiate well, and let's go and win this task.
09:13Come on, boys.
09:14Come on, lads.
09:18Tomorrow, half of each team will do battle on the Kent coast,
09:23while the rest fight it out in France.
09:29I really want the girls' team to win for once,
09:31so I'm trying to dissipate any cattiness
09:34because I know that we need to keep our eye on the prize.
09:38I think we're going to smash it.
09:39I think we're the best negotiators.
09:40Cheers, David. Thank you.
09:42The only thing that the girls may have an advantage of
09:45is that they're all very pretty ladies,
09:47and that may sway the old French man.
09:578am.
09:58Driver, head to Boulogne-sur-Mer, please.
10:02Armed with maps...
10:04We're probably about here.
10:05..business directories...
10:07We need champagne flutes.
10:09Oh, OK.
10:10..and the local currency.
10:13All this manure.
10:14Where are we going to put it in here?
10:16My shoes, my pockets.
10:17I don't care, mate.
10:19The teams have ten hours to purchase all nine items.
10:23What's the specification of the manure?
10:25We're going to target the manure first.
10:32In France...
10:34Bonjour, madame.
10:35..already searching for their first item.
10:37Parlez-vous anglais?
10:40Joseph's boys...
10:41Parlez-vous anglais?
10:44..with French speakers Richard and Sam.
10:47Um, pardon, so...
10:48Avez-vous un miroir, Louis-Philippe?
10:50Oui, pour me demander un miroir, Louis-Philippe.
10:51Uh...
10:52Vous...vous avez ça?
10:53Oui, j'ai plein de miroir, monsieur.
10:54Eh...
10:55OK, c'est bon.
10:56Um...
10:57D'accord.
10:58D'accord.
10:59Au revoir, merci.
11:00D'accord.
11:01You said they've got them.
11:02They have loads.
11:03So we need to go, and we need to look, and we need to measure.
11:06Bonjour, monsieur.
11:07Bonjour, madame.
11:08What the boys don't know is that I'm fluent in French, so I'll know exactly what's going on.
11:29Uh, nous cherchons pour, uh, un miroir.
11:32Oui.
11:33Vous avez plein de miroirs ici.
11:34Exactement.
11:35Mais Louis-Philippe?
11:36Écoutez, j'ai beaucoup de miroirs barobes.
11:41Qu'est-ce que c'est un miroir, Louis-Philippe?
11:43Rectangulaire, entouré de bois.
11:45I can't negotiate with her because I can't speak their language.
11:48It's not about negotiating.
11:49First, we need to find out that she has it.
11:51That's what you've got to do, Sam.
11:53You're the only one who can speak.
11:54I know, well, I am.
11:55The PM doesn't speak French.
11:57What he's doing in France is a bit of a surprise.
11:59Yeah, that's...
12:00Uh...
12:01And Sam, who's supposed to speak French,
12:03has just made a right mess of this on the phone.
12:05The boys could be in real trouble here.
12:07Louis-Philippe, could you show me?
12:10Stepping in, Richard.
12:12A mirror?
12:14But I've known.
12:15Je pas.
12:16Right, I think it's clear now that we don't have the mirror.
12:19I do apologise.
12:20Thank you very much for your time, but I think we need to move on.
12:24I promise you.
12:30So can we see the items?
12:32Yeah.
12:33Still at base, for Vana's girls, a stroke of luck.
12:36That's convenient.
12:37Staying at the same hotel...
12:39They're right, nice.
12:40Nice.
12:41...a glassware specialist.
12:43Oh, wow.
12:44Don't break them.
12:46Yeah.
12:47No, no.
12:48200 euros.
12:49That's too much.
12:50Okay.
12:51100 euros.
12:52Because it's really...
12:54It's very expensive.
12:55We're four nice girls coming from the UK.
12:58Yes, thank you.
12:59I'll give you one free if you want.
13:00Seven for 45.
13:02S'il vous plaît.
13:04OK.
13:05I love you.
13:06You're gorgeous.
13:09The girls did get lucky here.
13:13The crystal seller overheard them asking for information.
13:17Je t'aime.
13:18Je t'aime.
13:19Kiss, kiss, kiss.
13:2045 euros for seven crystal glasses.
13:23That's got to be a steal in anyone's book.
13:25Au revoir.
13:26Au revoir.
13:27Thank you, sir.
13:28Au revoir.
13:31The Kent coast.
13:33Can we make a phone call about...
13:36No, no.
13:37Just because you're trying to...
13:38Sorry, but I need to be making the calls here.
13:40This is my item.
13:41Working their way through Varna's list.
13:44The rest of the girls.
13:46Oh, good morning.
13:47You don't happen to know what Lever's Lace is, Dean?
13:49With business student Jenny.
13:51What morning?
13:52Lever's Lace.
13:54I've never heard of her.
13:56I think that we should be talking to some kind of dressmaking course.
13:59Who do you need to speak to?
14:01Do you have a sort of fashion department?
14:03Uh, no.
14:04We're not that sort of college.
14:05We're a Japanese college.
14:07Can we go to the college?
14:08Please be here for help.
14:10Am I able to talk to one of the lecturers?
14:12No.
14:13Please ring more libraries.
14:14That's what I want to go for, because they can look it up.
14:16Libraries?
14:17Wait a minute.
14:18We can call a university.
14:19The universities are so good, because they have such amazing discounts.
14:22Like, you know, whenever I got my stuff bound, you know,
14:24I literally managed to get a discount, even on top of the student discount,
14:27and you can get stuff so cheap.
14:29They might even give it to us for free if the lace is there.
14:31Just want to know what it is.
14:36Just outside Dover...
14:37I'm trying to acquire 30 kilograms of manure.
14:42What do you want that for?
14:44Um, for fertilisation purposes.
14:48Brett and his boys sniff out a deal.
14:52Oh, mate!
14:53Oh!
14:54What a shit!
14:55Oh!
14:56Can we go into this farm?
15:02My name's Brett.
15:03I'm looking for 30 kilos of manure.
15:05That's fine.
15:06And you work for the farm?
15:07Yeah, I do.
15:08Are you happy for me to just take it?
15:09Yeah, yeah.
15:10Thank you ever so much.
15:11Found.
15:1330 kilos of free manure.
15:15Guys, follow suit.
15:19If not, there's a wooden fence there.
15:22I can't do like you, Scottie.
15:26I'm stuck.
15:29Let's go.
15:30Come on.
15:31This man is beautiful.
15:32Mate, it's still warm.
15:34Keep it open like that, yeah?
15:35When do you like to do this, Brett?
15:37The Navy, mate.
15:45Boulogne-sur-Mer, France.
15:48Plan of action is we get the cheese first.
15:50That's your responsibility.
15:51Natalie.
15:52After a 45-minute journey,
15:55Barna's girls target cut-price cheese.
15:58We are looking for a cheese.
16:00Mawa.
16:01Mawa.
16:02A whole.
16:03On tier.
16:05Sassy.
16:0640.
16:07Katra.
16:09See you play?
16:10Yeah.
16:11The fact that it says piss.
16:13It's a piece, but it's whole, because it has the thing all around it.
16:16It doesn't have all around it.
16:17Yeah.
16:19It has to do with the milk, guys.
16:20It's a whole milk.
16:21It's not about the actual whole piece.
16:25Because if you think about it, any cheese could be a whole piece.
16:28Our instructions are in English.
16:31It would have said whole milk.
16:33I think we should go with this.
16:35OK.
16:36Can we do this for 450?
16:37450 you want?
16:38Yeah.
16:39Cheese in the bag.
16:41Cheese in the bag.
16:42I'm a little concerned that we haven't met the specification.
16:46I could be wrong.
16:47Who knows?
16:48Wow.
16:49Hello?
16:50Oh, hi there.
16:51Is it definitely leave as lace?
16:52Leave as lace.
16:53Still on the chase for lace.
17:06Jenny.
17:07The lace of Calais.
17:10The lace of Calais.
17:13Time to talk strategy.
17:15Anna, this is important.
17:17A woman has told us what leave as lace is.
17:20It is the lace of Calais.
17:22Okay.
17:23We are taking the lace, but we want you to look for the muscles.
17:30Vana, can I just interrupt for a second?
17:33Hi, Vana.
17:34Jenny, we need to start calling some stores.
17:36My dad is actually an antiques collector.
17:38And in Canterbury, I do imagine that there are a couple of antique shops, so I can ask about the mirror.
17:43Listen, we are not giving you the mirror.
17:45I just think there are antique shops quite nearby.
17:48So, if I call a couple of them, and see if they can, you can also sit locally.
17:53And then if we can, we can contact you.
17:55Otherwise, we will have to go and see.
18:01Boulogne-sur-Mer.
18:03One step behind the girls, Joseph's team still hunting their first item.
18:09Just give us a little bit of space.
18:11I actually want to be the charming, bumbling English guy.
18:14Cool.
18:15After you then, Richard, please.
18:16Hello.
18:17How are you?
18:18Hello.
18:19How are you?
18:20Have you, uh, a classic, um, maroulaise, uh, very, very, very sweet?
18:28Maroulaise.
18:29The best.
18:30The best.
18:31Ah, very nice.
18:33Moi?
18:34J'adore.
18:35Petit.
18:36Petit.
18:37Oui.
18:3815 euros.
18:39Best prix.
18:4014 euros.
18:4180.
18:42Already down to 14.80.
18:43Already says 14.80 on the side.
18:44Can we wrap it and move?
18:45If we rush, we're not making anything, any sort of a cheese.
18:47I'm going to just confirm that that's not a quarter of a whole cheese.
18:48Um, le fromage is le whole, no, cut.
18:49Right.
18:50Well done, David.
18:51Ah.
18:52Okay, so no.
18:53Um, and moi, j'adore petit prix.
18:54Petit prix, oui.
18:55Okay.
18:5615 euros.
18:57Best prix.
18:5814.80.
18:59Already down to 14.80.
19:00Already says 14.80 on the side.
19:01Can we wrap it and move?
19:02If we rush, we're not making anything, any sort of a cheese.
19:05I'm going to say 14.80.
19:06I'm going to say 14.80 on the side.
19:07I'm going to say 14.80 on the side.
19:08Can we wrap it and move?
19:09If we rush, we're not making anything, any special time here.
19:13This is a negotiation.
19:14But I don't feel like you're getting anywhere.
19:16Well, we've got 20p off so far.
19:18We haven't because it says that on the side anyway.
19:20Let's wrap it up.
19:22Best prix.
19:25We need to get looking at these bigger items.
19:28Merci. Au revoir, monsieur.
19:31Why did we rush into that?
19:33We're running out of time.
19:34I'm not happy with that at all.
19:36You led the negotiation.
19:37Did you get anywhere?
19:38No, mate.
19:39Did you?
19:40We forced the most expensive one.
19:41Stop causing friction.
19:42We're trying to move on.
19:43Yeah, but...
19:44Guys, guys.
19:45This is a waste of time.
19:46This is a waste of time.
19:47Exactly.
19:48It's chaotic, to be honest with you.
19:50After several hours, they've only got one cheese, and that's it.
19:55It's falling apart now.
19:57OK, guys.
19:58I'm off to Kent to see what your sub-team's doing.
20:01OK.
20:02Thanks so much, George.
20:03I'm worried for this task.
20:05Joseph's a bit of a bull in a china shopper.
20:08We have no strategy, so we're up the creek without a paddle.
20:13Joseph, just take a breath, mate, and just think about where we're going.
20:18Dover.
20:19I'm looking for a four-point galvan...
20:20Galvanised.
20:21Galvanised anchor.
20:22First stop, Charlene's four-kilo anchor.
20:23The closest that we've got is a 3.2.
20:24No, it needs to be four kilos.
20:25Yeah.
20:26We are due some today.
20:27If I came back to you today, what's the cheapest price?
20:28You could actually do one of those for me, Paul.
20:29Well, I can do it for 13.50.
20:3013 pounds will have a deal.
20:31No, it's 13.50, and it's...
20:32Oh, you're a hard barter, aren't you?
20:33You've got to be.
20:34You've got to be.
20:35Here's a card.
20:36Give me a call.
20:37Give me a call.
20:38I'm going to go.
20:39I'm going to go.
20:40I'm going to go.
20:41I'm going to go.
20:42I'm going to go.
20:43I'm going to go.
20:44I'm going to go.
20:45I'm going to go.
20:46I'm going to go.
20:47I'm going to go.
20:48I'm going to go.
20:5013 pounds will have a deal.
20:51No, 13.50, and it's...
20:52Oh, you're a hard barter, aren't you?
20:54You've got to be.
20:55Here's a card.
20:56Give me a call about lunchtime.
20:59I hope you'll see you later.
21:0012 pounds later, OK?
21:0112.50.
21:02Thank you very much.
21:0312.50, 12.50.
21:04OK, we're shook on that.
21:05She's got me now.
21:0612.50, excellent.
21:10First negotiation in the bag for me.
21:12She was quite determined that she definitely wasn't going to go no lower.
21:15I thought I'd drop in a little cheeky one, and she said,
21:17yep, deal 12.50.
21:19So, hopefully, we'll be able to come back later
21:21and see if we can edge it any further.
21:28Across the county...
21:30Do you have one here at all?
21:31Yep.
21:32Good man.
21:33Let's have a look.
21:34For the boys, an anchor in stock.
21:36OK.
21:37Trying to reel in a deal, Scott.
21:40At 27.95.
21:42I was thinking 10 quid.
21:44And my laugh would continue.
21:47Yeah.
21:49What about 20 quid?
21:5220 quid.
21:5320 quid. Awesome.
21:54We'll do it.
21:5519 quid, then, yeah?
21:5720 quid, it is.
21:58Thank you, Jeremy.
21:59Sale agreed.
22:00But for £7.50 more than Charlene.
22:03You're a legend.
22:05He was not going to buy.
22:06I reckon I'd have got it for 15.
22:08Lunchtime.
22:11France.
22:17So, guys, crystal flutes.
22:18Fingers crossed we can get a result.
22:21Target for Joseph, the local antique store.
22:24Let's just hope it's open.
22:292.30 to 7 o'clock.
22:31What we can do is see what's in the window.
22:33There is definitely crystal champagne flutes.
22:39Halfway through the day...
22:42Do you want the juicy stuff?
22:43Yes.
22:44For both teams, six items still to buy.
22:48Now, that is genuine bullshit.
22:51You've got a shovel.
22:56It just has ten kilos of fossils.
22:58Be fresh as well, yeah?
22:59Fresh like me, eh?
23:00How much is it a kilo?
23:035.80.
23:04£5, darling.
23:05I will love you forever.
23:06And you've got the privilege of meeting me today.
23:08Increasing prices.
23:10I'm actually begging you.
23:11Five over five.
23:13Thanks a lot, sweetheart.
23:18Let's go, boys.
23:27Look, look, look.
23:28Mirrors.
23:29We're looking for a mirror.
23:30Louis-Philippe, 19th century one.
23:32I don't have Louis-Philippe.
23:34Sorry.
23:35Merci.
23:36Merci.
23:38Never seen a cow look at me like I'm a mug before.
23:41Ah!
23:42Oh, my God.
23:44I've got shit on my tights.
23:45Oh, God.
23:46This is tragic, this is.
23:48We've got our free clue!
23:51We've got one item.
23:52Awesome.
23:53I know we've got another in the offing.
23:54Just had our nails there.
23:55But, you know, time's just marching on.
23:57We've just got to crack on now.
23:58We've got a crack on now.
24:08Thank you very much.
24:102.30pm.
24:11Enchanted, Sam.
24:13Looking to cut a deal on crystal glasses.
24:16I have to switch on the lights.
24:17C'est bon?
24:185.
24:21C'est bon.
24:22C'est bon.
24:23Mais on reste ici.
24:24OK.
24:29Moi, je voudrais acheter 7 verres pour 70 euros.
24:35Ça, c'est impossible.
24:37Oh, monsieur…
24:38Wait, wait.
24:39Let me handle it.
24:42Le prix final.
24:43100 euros.
24:46It's good?
24:49100 euros for seven.
24:52OK.
24:56Flutes finally purchased.
24:57Thank you, monsieur.
24:59For 55 euros more than the girls.
25:03Excuse me, monsieur.
25:05Do you have a Louis-Philippe mirror?
25:06Yes.
25:07We've got another shot.
25:09Ten minutes by car.
25:11Yes, monsieur.
25:13I'm very optimistic that we're going to secure the rest of the items.
25:15We're going to bring it home for the boys.
25:18Well done, guys.
25:20Richard, I feel that I've put him in his place.
25:23I'm very happy.
25:24I'm keeping everything together and organising everything.
25:283pm.
25:30We want to get escargot at a restaurant.
25:31Yes.
25:32Still in Boulogne-sur-Mer, with three items yet to buy,
25:37Varna targets French bistros for 100 snails.
25:41Obviously, we're going to pay premium prices from a restaurant.
25:43Are we sure that there's nowhere else we can get them direct that's cheaper?
25:46Yes, just do it.
25:48Varna clearly has some sort of issue with me.
25:50She's shot me down.
25:51Guys, I found escargot.
25:52So, I think we're going to have to try and negotiate our asses off in a restaurant.
25:56Madame.
25:57Je cherche escargot et sante.
26:0036 escargot, parce que la livraison c'est vendredi matin.
26:03Au revoir.
26:05No luck.
26:07I think we need to go to Calais.
26:08We really need to focus on the mirror and the lace, right?
26:11It's the lace of Calais.
26:13We came all the way here just for cheese.
26:14Across the channel, pulling in her anchor deal, Charlene.
26:24Hi, Sarah.
26:26Right, this is what you need.
26:27It's a pleasure doing business, Sarah.
26:30Time to float one more idea.
26:33We're looking for an inflatable board.
26:35Yeah, that's the boat.
26:37We're looking for a minimum of 1.5 metres on that boat.
26:39Yeah, it's 2.3.
26:41OK, how much are they?
26:422.59.
26:44That is completely out of our budget, so don't want to waste your time.
26:48Thank you very much. You've been really helpful.
26:50I'm not paying anywhere near that price of boat.
26:52It doesn't specify the quality of it.
26:54I want to get an old one that just about floats.
26:57OK, can we get in the car and discuss this?
26:59Because we need to be going on the way.
27:02Boat abandoned.
27:04I just don't know where we are on a map.
27:05Can somebody get me a map, please?
27:07In charge of tracking down 10 kilos of mussels...
27:10Restaurant, there's a restaurant there.
27:12Jenny.
27:13Oh, it's Chinese, though.
27:14Does Chinese do mussels?
27:15Yeah.
27:17Didn't they?
27:18Mussels?
27:20Mussels?
27:21Yes.
27:23I know that I'm the best negotiator in the team.
27:26I do feel it would be easier if I was by myself with the directory
27:29calling up and going round myself.
27:31I swear there's someone around here that does fish.
27:36What's that over there?
27:37Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
27:40Hi there.
27:41How are you doing?
27:43Are you able to speak to one of the chefs to see if you've got any mussels in, please?
27:46We're looking for 10 kilos.
27:47Can I give you a moment?
27:49Fantastic.
27:53Hiya.
27:54The manager said no because it's all we've got left and we'd have to take off the menu.
27:58I'm really sorry.
28:00Is it fundamentally no?
28:01Yes, I'm really sorry.
28:03Oh, no.
28:04Jenny took the waitress's word for it.
28:06She didn't get hold of the head chef and she didn't speak to the manager.
28:09If she had, maybe she would have 10 kilos of mussels in her hand now.
28:14That's really not ideal.
28:15How far away is Folkestone?
28:19France.
28:21Two hours to go.
28:23For any items not purchased, a fine.
28:26£50 plus the average retail price.
28:30Bonjour, monsieur.
28:32Still three short, the French boys.
28:35Have you Louis-Philippe Miller?
28:37A mirror.
28:38Win.
28:40Three.
28:41Fine.
28:433-0.
28:443-0 cast.
28:453-0.
28:46Next one, let's go.
28:47Next one.
28:51Pen.
28:52Still on Varna's French shopping list, lace, a mirror and 100 snails.
28:58Hang up.
29:00Arriving at a restaurant, the girls.
29:04Let's get the escargot done and then get the mirror if we possibly can.
29:09Potentially, the mirror might be more expensive.
29:12We know that, Selena.
29:13The problem is the mirror's harder to find.
29:15Of the two items, we're probably going to get more highly penalized for the mirror.
29:18Are you suggesting that we have an option of finding the mirror right now?
29:21If you're happy to take responsibility for potentially getting penalized, but that's all I need to know.
29:26Find me the mirror.
29:28Farna, why are you being so difficult?
29:30I just don't like questions that make no sense.
29:32You're right, I shouldn't bring up anything that I have an opinion on.
29:35I'll say things, make it seem like she's coming up with an innovative idea that no one else has thought of.
29:41And I'm making a bad decision so that she can get out of it and so she can say, I brought that up, you know?
29:47I've been trying really hard to find the mirror.
29:48We have, we've all been trying hard.
29:50Natalie's been trying the hardest, actually.
29:52All right.
29:53Good job, Natalie.
29:54And what we were saying earlier about not being Cathy, there's no need for comments like that, Barna.
30:01Just seems mental, doesn't it? We're by the bloody seaside, no-one's got a dinghy.
30:05In the UK, still at sea, for the girls, third trip to the same shop.
30:13What's the best price you can give us?
30:15They cut to the quick, so £255 and that's it.
30:18We're really starting around more the £200 mark, is there absolutely no chance?
30:22There's no chance. No, £255.
30:26That boat price is ridiculous, it's way too high.
30:28£255.
30:30Let...
30:33I really don't know what to do. I just...
30:37It's... I don't...
30:41Let's go, let's go, let's move.
30:43Go, go, go, go.
30:44Let's go.
30:45Oh, wait, oh, the phone's ringing.
30:48Hi, Barna.
30:49Have you got the inflatable boat and the anchor?
30:52No, we've got the anchor but not the inflatable boat.
30:56What happened with the inflatable boat?
30:58We can't get a price cheaper than £255.
31:02We can go to another place but it is 45 minutes away.
31:05If it's hard to get the boat, they should just stick with the one they've got.
31:09We've wasted time, let's move.
31:14Buy the boat.
31:15Buy.
31:20Right, let's just buy it.
31:22This woman's going to think we're mental.
31:26You can tell now we're getting desperate.
31:28Can we go to £2.50 and we'll make a sale today?
31:31Yes.
31:32Thank you very much.
31:34One, two, three...
31:35We've spoken to Barna.
31:36We've done it now, so let's just focus on getting the muscles.
31:40They are absolutely all over the place.
31:43No logistics, no planning.
31:45Muscles, boat, muscles.
31:48It's just a complete nightmare.
31:5330 miles away...
31:55Brett, before we go in, could you just give me some cash in my pocket?
31:58Because I might be able to just do a last-minute cash change.
32:02Gary's aim, deflate the price of a dinghy by buying it...
32:07Afternoon.
32:09..from a toy shop.
32:11Is the smaller one the cheaper one?
32:12Yes, it is.
32:14You don't do any larger ones that are cheaper?
32:15No.
32:17So we'll go with this.
32:18Gary, this is your lead, so it's completely how you want to play it.
32:21I could easily play safe, but this game isn't about playing safe.
32:24It's about spending the less money.
32:26What's the lowest you've ever sold one of these for?
32:28Probably about £12.
32:30That's the lowest you've ever gone?
32:31The lowest I've ever needed to go...
32:33Let's see if we can make history today.
32:35I don't know if I've got £12 in it.
32:37Yeah, you have.
32:39I think I've got about £9.50.
32:42I'll shake hands on £10.
32:45Go on, then. £10 it is.
32:46Thanks ever so much. That's great.
32:48Thank you very much.
32:50£10 was a very good price.
32:52It's probably a bit of a gamble on going for an inflatable toy boat
32:56rather than looking for a real one.
32:58So it's a bit early to celebrate.
33:03In France...
33:05..both teams search for snails.
33:09Avez-vous escargot?
33:11C'est moi.
33:13Not the tunnel, yeah. OK.
33:14Thank you, monsieur.
33:16I think we're really going to struggle to get these.
33:18Je veux tuer les escargot à 100.
33:21D'accord.
33:22Can we do 50 zeros?
33:23C'est possible?
33:25J'ai très femme.
33:27Ma chienne est morte, ma père est morte, ma mère est morte.
33:31Por favor, no, not por favor, s'il vous plaît.
33:34D'accord.
33:36Au revoir.
33:38Just jump in the car, let's move, let's move.
33:41One hour till the ferry leaves.
33:44Both teams head to Calais,
33:47still hunting the local speciality.
33:50Avez-vous denté livers?
33:53Oui.
33:55Four metres is 100 euros.
33:58Two metres?
33:59200 euros.
34:01Across town, April.
34:03Bonjour.
34:05Celle-ci, elle est à 40 euros 50 le mètre.
34:07You've got a beautiful smile.
34:09180, let's go at 180.
34:10OK.
34:11You're amazing, thank you.
34:12A snip at 110 euros less than the boys.
34:31Less than 30 minutes to go.
34:34We're on the way back to the ferry now, so we've got nowhere else we can go.
34:37Have you guys got enough time to be able to get them snails?
34:39Oh.
34:40We can't do anything, because we're literally in the sticks.
34:42You're going to have to go to a supermarket or something.
34:44We're not going to have time.
34:45Listen, Brett, we've got to get back to the ferry.
34:47In France, you're going to find the tin ones.
34:50In a super market.
34:53Let's just ring this bell.
34:55Slow down, so where are we going to get snails from?
35:00I lost your shoe, I lost your shoe.
35:01Keep going, keep going.
35:04I think I can sum today up as just a complete and utter lack of strategy.
35:07Do you have, um, ten kilos of mussels in stock?
35:10Ten kilos of mussels?
35:11Yes.
35:13Hopping into random restaurants.
35:16I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
35:19Next one, go.
35:22We need a hundred snails, bred in France.
35:26Are you kidding?
35:27We've got 20 minutes.
35:32Eight out of nine is good going.
35:34We shouldn't have anything to worry about.
35:36Yeah, agreed.
35:37Um, yeah, agreed.
35:39Good.
35:416pm.
35:43Time's up.
35:44Oh, dear.
35:48Luckily, we made it in time.
35:50If the snails were the difference between winning or losing this task,
35:54personally, I'd feel a little bit peed off.
35:57Everything went a bit poorly today.
36:00Bloody boat.
36:02We'll just have to hope the boys bought a really expensive, inflatable yacht.
36:06It's au revoir, France.
36:10Next stop, the boardroom.
36:12You can go through to the boardroom now.
36:33OK.
36:34Good morning.
36:36Good morning, Mr. Jeff.
36:40Well, this is an interesting task.
36:58Another one of my favourites.
37:00All to do with negotiation.
37:01We spiced it up this time, not just one location.
37:05Of course, it was two locations.
37:07And the reason was strategically placing certain items
37:10where they should be found.
37:12So, let's start off with Claude's team, Versatile.
37:16Joseph, you decided to be the project manager, is that right?
37:20That's right, little sugar.
37:21What I did to start with was to find out who could speak French.
37:24Sam was very useful.
37:25Yeah.
37:26He was our key man.
37:27Let's get on with what you did in France.
37:28So, the first item we were looking for was the mirror.
37:31I would have assumed that you, Valentina, would have gone after the mirror
37:34because you spend most of your time looking in it, I think.
37:38We made a call to an antique shopper that Sam spoke to,
37:41and she said that she definitely had this Louis-Philippe mirror.
37:44What happened is the lady herself potentially wasn't sure.
37:47When we got there, she said,
37:48I have loads of mirrors, look around, if any of them are Louis-Philippe mirrors, buy one.
37:53Wow. See, that was a waste of time.
37:55I called it, we moved on.
37:56What did you do next?
37:58We go into the cheese shop, then the strategy was for the French speakers to warm it up.
38:01Sorry, I've got to interrupt.
38:03It's Richard who said, I'm going to go in and charm them.
38:06Yeah. Richard said straight away, what's the best offer you can make me?
38:09To which the guy replied, 15 euros.
38:10And he had it marked up there for 14.80.
38:13Must have been very charming there, Richard.
38:15He asked you for a higher price.
38:17I mean, his negotiation skills were pathetic in there, I think.
38:20You only managed to get 30 cents off the asking price.
38:24Hmm. 30 cents.
38:27Carry on.
38:29Went to the antique shop. It didn't open till 2.30.
38:32Ah, yes. Well, you've discovered that the French go on strike regularly.
38:36It's called lunch.
38:38That's right.
38:39Gave us a lead.
38:40We got the mirror, which David negotiated.
38:42OK.
38:43We went for the snails, but...
38:44You were supposed to get the snails because she was in France.
38:46Yeah.
38:47We kept getting people saying that it wasn't the right season for the snails.
38:50Well, where'd they gone? On holiday, the snails?
38:53You couldn't get anything more French than snails, could you?
38:56No.
38:57I'm over in England now.
38:58So, Brett, you'd heard that they couldn't find the snails in France.
39:03Yes, that's right, Lord Sugar.
39:04After we'd had communication with Joseph in France,
39:07Joseph asked if we could take up some of the leeway
39:09and try and see if we could acquire some of the snails on, obviously, the team's behalf.
39:14All right.
39:15Which threw in a little bit of speculation as to what should we do.
39:18However, he did stipulate...
39:19I'm going to fall asleep in a minute.
39:20No, sorry.
39:21Let me get to the point.
39:22We made a few phone calls.
39:23So you didn't buy them in the end?
39:24No, Lord Sugar.
39:25All right.
39:26The inflatable boat?
39:28So my target supplier was a toy shop.
39:30It's something like one of my grandchildren would have you blow it up
39:33and they'd go on a swimming pool or something like that.
39:35But I actually managed to get it for £10.
39:37And I was Joseph as a team leader.
39:41All happy?
39:42Richard, you don't look happy.
39:44I just wish that Brett was project manager.
39:46Why are you saying that?
39:47Because hindsight's a wonderful thing.
39:48Yeah, okay.
39:49But overall, Lord Sugar, yeah.
39:52Everyone was happy.
39:53Okay.
39:54All right.
39:55Okay, ladies, project manager, Varna, yeah?
39:58I worked in an investment bank on the trading floor,
40:00so I had experience buying and selling bonds.
40:02Must be very helpful buying snails, I should imagine.
40:04I also speak French.
40:06Let's talk about France, first of all.
40:08So in the hotel, I actually spotted a man.
40:10He had a very open body language
40:12and he offered us six champagne flutes for €200.
40:16I asked him if we could get one free
40:17and then we were able to work the price down to €45.
40:20He was set upon with kisses, jetems, flirting,
40:25but you did do a good deal.
40:27All right, so let's move on.
40:30At this point, we found out from Jenny
40:32that Lever's Lace was actually a specialty item from Calais.
40:36For the penny drop, did it?
40:37Yes.
40:38Because we hadn't bought the mirror or the muscles yet,
40:41we told them that we'd be responsible for the mirror
40:44so they could take the muscles.
40:45April got the lace.
40:46How much did you pay for the lace?
40:48In total, I got the lady down to €70.
40:50Right.
40:51Okay, so you managed to get the snails.
40:55Shall we get over to the UK now?
40:58Ruth, you were in charge of obtaining the manure.
41:01Yes.
41:02How much did you pay for it?
41:03Absolutely nothing.
41:04And where did you find that then?
41:06From a farmer.
41:07Well, you dug it out yourself?
41:08We did, yeah.
41:09Oh, dear.
41:10So your Jimmy Chews became Jimmy Poo's, I guess.
41:13Yes, they did.
41:14Next, the anchor.
41:16We started the negotiation.
41:17She wouldn't go any further than £13.50.
41:20When we shook hands, I thought I'd drop in a little cheeky one
41:23and said, let's shake on it, £12.50.
41:25So I managed to get an extra pound off.
41:27And, Scott, how much did you pay?
41:29How much did you pay?
41:30I paid £20.
41:32Right.
41:33Okay.
41:34As far as muscles are concerned, you go into a restaurant...
41:38And I went and spoke to the person behind the bar.
41:40It was looking good, and she went into the kitchen,
41:42spoke to the chef that he was absolutely categorically
41:45not going to be letting us purchase the muscles.
41:47You never asked to speak to the boss, did you?
41:49I know.
41:50I thought, God, I should have asked to speak to him on the phone.
41:53Erm...
41:54El, tell me about the boat.
41:56You went back to this shop that you bought your anchor in, didn't you?
42:00That must have been a proper boat, right?
42:02Yeah, that was.
42:03It wasn't a toy boat like he bought.
42:04Yeah, no.
42:05Gary, you went straight for a toy boat, didn't you?
42:07That's right, yeah.
42:08How many times did you go back and forth to this shop?
42:11Probably about five in the end, I think.
42:13Four.
42:14Did you get a loyalty card?
42:15Could have done.
42:17OK, let's wrap up on this one.
42:22Karen, could you tell me how much your team actually spent?
42:26The girls' team spent £398.44.
42:31Claude?
42:32The boys' team spent £336.83.
42:38OK.
42:39But they didn't get the sales, so they incur a fine
42:43making the total £409.21.
42:48Karen?
42:49The girls didn't get the muscles,
42:52and they didn't get the mirror,
42:54and they bought the wrong cheese.
43:00Which meant your total, with fines, £725.90.
43:05Wow.
43:10Well, the boys have won.
43:15Well done, chaps.
43:16Now, I'm sending you to taste some of the finest wines
43:20that France has got to offer,
43:22at Britain's oldest wine merchant.
43:25Well done.
43:26Thank you very much.
43:51Logistics, remember?
43:53Finding the right things in the right place.
43:56Ladies, you need to go and have a chat amongst yourselves.
44:01One of you will be leaving the process today.
44:13Thank you very much.
44:14Glass for you.
44:15Had to get in your eyes.
44:17Put the glass on your nose.
44:20Smells like winning and success.
44:22I spat the wrong nose.
44:23Third win.
44:24Undefeated so far.
44:25So, looking forward to tucking into the next task.
44:26Well led, Joseph.
44:27Well led, mate.
44:28Richard is all about me, myself and I,
44:29but I think he realises that you've got to work as a team.
44:30Everybody's going to embrace that,
44:31and I think we can continue to win.
44:32Cheers, here's to Team Versatile.
44:33Cheers.
44:34Cheers.
44:35Cheers.
44:36Cheers.
44:37All the best.
44:38I will take responsibility for anything that goes wrong,
44:39but what it looks like is that Jenny didn't do anything.
44:43Elle had a hard time organising things.
44:44I don't know who it is to blame, but it's important to remember that a lot of the issues actually
44:45came from the French team side.
44:46And I think we can continue to win.
44:47Cheers, here's to Team Versatile.
44:48Cheers.
44:49Cheers.
44:50Cheers.
44:51All the best.
44:52I will take responsibility for anything that goes wrong, but what it looks like is
45:01that Jenny didn't do anything.
45:03Elle had a hard time organising things.
45:05I don't know who it is to blame, but it's important to remember that a lot of the issues actually
45:11came from the French team side.
45:13I wish we hadn't gone for that boat.
45:16When you had only an hour and 15 minutes left, you were asking me to make a decision about
45:19the boat.
45:20I'm struggling a little with who is to blame.
45:22I think the UK sub-team was kind of a disaster, but then again, Selena was constantly trying
45:27to blame other people for the failures.
45:30There are some items that are harder to find.
45:32It's not down to the individual person.
45:34Selena, do you not think that maybe, rather than being a morale vacuum...
45:37A morale vacuum?
45:38Yeah.
45:39No, but what I'm saying is what you do, Selena.
45:41You need to shout.
45:42We don't have time for this, okay?
45:44We weren't morale vacuums, but we should have got the mirror and that's why we lost the
45:48task.
45:49Obviously, Vana is culpable for this.
45:51If I was project manager, shit wouldn't have happened.
45:53Yes, Lord Sugar.
45:54Now, can you send the candidates, please?
45:55Yes, Lord Sugar.
46:08Okay, let me tell you this.
46:23Normally, I set this task at 8 o'clock in the morning and I tell people to be back here
46:29at 6 o'clock the same day, you had the whole of overnight and all that time to think about
46:34where you were going and what you were doing.
46:37Not organised.
46:39I mean, Elle, tell me about the boat, right?
46:42Now, the boys actually bought their boat in the toy shop.
46:45They paid 10 quid for it, right?
46:47Didn't we try to go to a toy shop?
46:49No, we didn't.
46:50We didn't try to go to a toy shop.
46:51Oh, we didn't.
46:52You ended up paying £250?
46:54Yes.
46:55Didn't you deep down know paying £250 was too expensive?
46:59Of course.
47:00Where did you go after the rails there, then?
47:02To be honest, I felt kind of forced.
47:04I mean, imagine going into a shop and trying to negotiate when you've been back in there
47:07four times.
47:08It's not a great way to start a deal, to be honest.
47:10She must have thought her boat had come in, actually, seeing you lot of mugs coming back
47:14and buying stuff one after the other.
47:15But your gut feeling was not to buy that boat.
47:18It was.
47:19And you went against your own gut feeling.
47:21Well, I mean, I did...
47:22Which in business is a really bad move.
47:24No, I can completely agree with that, Karen.
47:26But we got the three original items, the ones that should have been in the UK.
47:30May have paid a ridiculous amount for a boat, but we spent a lot of time looking for items
47:34that really should have been the other side of the channel.
47:36When they called me and asked me if they should buy the boat, I was concerned that we
47:41wouldn't get the boat at all.
47:42No, but look, excuse me, trade a flawed dealer in the bank.
47:45You must have said to her, how much is this boat?
47:48Two hundred and fifty pounds.
47:50Hmm.
47:51How about we don't get it at all?
47:53I take a hundred percent responsibility because I want it to be PM.
47:57You got fined because you got the wrong cheese.
48:01Natalie, you bought a quarter.
48:03I don't think the cheese was the failure of the task, to be honest.
48:06Well, you bought the wrong cheese.
48:08Well, sixty-one pounds worth of fines.
48:10That's my fault, Lord Sugar.
48:12That's your fault?
48:13Yes.
48:14So the boat is your fault for telling her to buy it and you got the cheese is your fault.
48:17But I do want to say that there is a lot of dead weight here and there are a lot of people
48:20who just sat back and didn't do much.
48:22Who's the dead weight then?
48:23Unfortunately, I think Jenny is the dead weight.
48:27With respect, you weren't in the English team.
48:29You didn't see what I did all day.
48:30I felt like I did quite a lot, actually.
48:32When things go well, you want to have the recognition.
48:34Nothing much has gone well for your team at all, has it?
48:38Jenny, you didn't buy anything, did you?
48:40I know.
48:41It's awful.
48:42I do think I'm a keen negotiator.
48:44Obviously, you haven't seen that in this task at all.
48:46No.
48:47I'm not sure what else I can say to that.
48:50The mirror.
48:52That cost you in fines £185.
48:55So whose fault was that? Yours again?
48:58This is an instance of no one wanting to take any responsibility for anything.
49:02That's not true, Varna.
49:03Varna made the decision not to go for the mirror.
49:05But I thought that we should have got it.
49:07We were in front of this snail, please.
49:08Hang on, I'm not finished.
49:09It was 45 minutes before the boat was leaving.
49:10My gut instinct would have been to go with the mirror and you snappily, overall,
49:14and all this talk about respect and these pep talks you give us,
49:16you did not respectfully talk to me, you started raising your voice
49:19and being very aggressive and accusing me of undermining your strategy.
49:22It's not a strategy.
49:23We needed the mirror.
49:24Shaleen, we're not talking to you.
49:26Selina, didn't you tell them that your dog died, whatever?
49:28Like, what sort of strategy is that?
49:30It was a joke.
49:31I didn't honestly go in with that tactic.
49:32Natalie and I looked at each other and we were embarrassed.
49:34I don't...
49:35You don't use a pity card when you're coming in to...
49:37It wasn't pity, it was a joke.
49:39You're looking for a scapegoat, Varna, and it's not going to be me.
49:41Oh, Selina, you're just like an irritating wasp at a picnic.
49:45That's your issue.
49:46Varna, I don't know why you're laughing.
49:48Because...
49:49It was not funny.
49:50It was a tale of woe.
49:51It was chaos.
49:52It was unorganized.
49:53It was unfriendly at times.
49:55I love it.
49:56It was a shamble.
49:57Varna, who are you bringing back in?
50:01I'm bringing Elle back into the boardroom because she's sub-team leader.
50:10And I'm bringing Jenny back into the boardroom because she is dead weight.
50:16The rest of you ladies, you didn't get the mirror, but I'll ask you to go and look in the mirror.
50:21Take a good long look at yourselves.
50:23Go back to the house.
50:25In the task, you got covered in bullshit.
50:37Now you know how I feel when I listen to some of the rubbish that comes out your mouth in this boardroom.
50:42You three step outside.
50:45Elle fought her corner, but we still can't get away from the fact that she bought that boat at an outrageous price.
51:00The problem with Jenny is she's always got her excuse ready for when things go wrong.
51:06She was just not very good.
51:09Varna, everything I asked her, oh yeah, that's my fault.
51:13And oh yeah, that's my fault also.
51:15Well, it's a complete nut of shambles as far as I'm concerned.
51:25Yes, Lord Sugar.
51:26Can you send three of them in please?
51:28Yes, Lord Sugar.
51:29Lord Sugar will see you now.
51:39So, Varna, you've labelled Jennifer as dead weight.
51:46Perhaps you'd like to articulate what it's got to do with this task.
51:49Sure.
51:50Jenny constantly wavers.
51:52She constantly wants recognition for the things she does, but she doesn't actually make decisions.
51:56I actually thought I was quite noble in letting other people source items that we knew were there before I then came to my own.
52:03Throughout the whole entire task, you've been taking the energy away from the team and focusing on yourself.
52:08Both of the items I was given were stuff that we were supposed to be sourcing in France.
52:11Ladies, ladies.
52:12I felt like I've been dealt a bad hand here.
52:14If I had been given the manure, I wouldn't be in this boardroom because I would have had an item to my name.
52:18I would have been picked off the list, I've got an item.
52:20I don't think she's bringing you back for the fact that you didn't buy something.
52:23I do.
52:24I brought Jenny because I think that she is partly to blame for the failure of the sub team in getting the items.
52:30She was distracted, she was talking about her father's antique collection.
52:33I think that is valid because that means I've got some understanding of where you source antiques from.
52:38I knew it was a French mirror.
52:40Jenny, you're the only person in the whole of this task that didn't buy anything.
52:44I know, that's really disappointing.
52:46I was always either on the phone or trying to source some of the products.
52:49I did try and get the muscles, I think Elle was just saying.
52:51OK, so look, there's no excuse because the boys, they bought the muscles.
52:55So, muscles you can get, right?
52:58What did you bring Elle back in this boardroom for?
53:01Because Elle was in charge of the UK sub team, so I was counting on her logistical prowess.
53:08I was under the impression from the sub team leader that everything was under control and they were going to get the items.
53:14How different would you have run this team, Elle?
53:16I would have looked closer at the items, I know that I would have done that.
53:19I maybe made a few changes about where the different items should have been sourced.
53:23Who's responsible out the three of you for the failure of this task?
53:26Ultimately, the mirror and originally the lace should have been bought in France.
53:32So, I think the failure of this task will have to be down to the project manager.
53:36Do you not take any responsibility for the fact that you didn't manage the team properly?
53:41I take responsibility in the fact that I found difficulty managing that team, but I did a good job overall.
53:47It does lie more with the project manager just because I don't think those are the right decisions to be made.
53:50Because I told you to get the muscles?
53:51Well, I'm just saying those were more French items. I'm not trying to get at you, Barney.
53:55As a manager, as somebody...
53:56You think I'm about to get you for some reason, I'm not.
53:58I think Jenny is the weaker candidate here.
54:00I'm sorry, I just don't... I don't accept that.
54:02Ladies, I think there's nothing to be gained here now.
54:05I'm going to summarise now, and I don't wish to hear any more from anybody.
54:13Well, I think that you went against your own instincts, and that boat was far too expensive.
54:17You'd sussed it out, but you let someone else talk you out of it.
54:21And Jenny, you didn't buy anything.
54:24And quite frankly, all I've heard from you is excuses.
54:28Why this didn't work, and why that hasn't gone well.
54:33Vana, you've taken responsibility for everything that's gone wrong.
54:37So therefore, you should be fired today.
54:39I just believe...
54:40I said I don't want to hear any more from anybody, okay?
54:42Sorry.
54:43I've heard enough.
54:45So, it is on that basis, really, that I'm struggling here.
54:54So, Vana, it's hard for me to justify how you can remain in because of this task.
55:01But, Jenny, I've yet to see any kind of actual achievements,
55:06anything that one can actually pin down to you and say,
55:09well, that was very, very good.
55:11So, I'm having less of a problem here.
55:16Jenny, you're fired.
55:20Okay, well, I really appreciate the opportunity.
55:22I'm very disappointed to not have shown you what I'm really capable of, Lord Chigga,
55:25because I do actually think I have the capability to win this process.
55:27Many of the other candidates in the house said that they were worried
55:29that I was going to be in the final with them.
55:31I'm really sorry they haven't been able to show you that,
55:32but good luck, guys.
55:33Mm-hmm, okay.
55:34So, thank you.
55:35Do you know, earlier on today, I would have had no hesitation in letting you go.
55:47But I have to say, because of the way you have spoken up, I'm going to stick with my gut instincts.
55:53I'm going to allow you to stay in the process.
55:56Um, Vana, I think you've got to make sure that you look after number one in future
56:01and stop telling me how you take the responsibility if you're going to survive any longer here.
56:06I'm going to allow you to survive any longer here.
56:07I'm going to allow you to stay also.
56:10Um, Vana, I think you've got to make sure that you look after number one in future
56:17and stop telling me how you take the responsibility if you're going to survive any longer here.
56:23I'm going to allow you to stay also.
56:25Thank you so much.
56:27But you know what you've got to do to stay here, okay?
56:31Definitely.
56:32Off you go.
56:33Thank you very much.
56:34You're going to do so well.
56:39Thanks.
56:40Do you know what?
56:41If I'd have taken the manure, I wouldn't be here.
56:47I know what I'm capable of.
56:48And if Lord Sugar can't see that, I shouldn't be his business partner anyway, quite frankly.
56:53I'm going to achieve massive things.
56:56I bet you anything in a few years' time, he'll be knocking on my door and wanting to be part of my business.
57:04I think Vana can talk her way out of anything.
57:08But it sounded like the sub-team side was a disaster.
57:11So who was it who actually bought the boat?
57:13Elle, but Elle argued her case and then Vana turned around and said,
57:17I'll take full responsibility because I told you to buy that boat.
57:20Elle's definitely going to go.
57:21It was a miracle.
57:22I thought I was gone.
57:23Tell us how it was then, guys.
57:24We were a little shocked that none of you stood up and defended me after I took all the heat for things.
57:36I didn't bring you guys into the boardroom, you know what I mean?
57:39All I'll say is that he's made it very clear there's absolutely no hiding, no covering your backs.
57:45And if you make mistakes, you need to stand by those mistakes.
57:48Now, 15 candidates remain.
57:56Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner continues.
58:02Next time...
58:03I'm sending you to the London Pet Show.
58:06This is Santos.
58:07I want to check out the rabbit show jumping.
58:09Happy bunnies.
58:11We're catching people's eyes.
58:13Morning.
58:14Say hello to my giraffe.
58:15Leaps of faith.
58:17It'll chase you, watch, look.
58:18Would you shake my hand?
58:19No.
58:20This is for you, young man, don't you?
58:22Soldier.
58:23And in the boardroom...
58:24He's not very happy with you.
58:26Someone's hopping mad.
58:28You couldn't sell a bone to Battersea Dog's home.
58:31You're fired.
