00:00I'm not here to make any friends.
00:04The process is not personal, it's business.
00:09Lord Sugar is on the lookout for a brand new business partner.
00:13It is a very competitive situation.
00:16I need to see who's got a good business brain.
00:20Fighting it out for his funding.
00:2518 aspiring tycoons.
00:27Not one of you geniuses ran this thing properly.
00:31I feel so angry.
00:33You're coming across a bit thick.
00:35At stake, a quarter of a million pounds.
00:40And a 50-50 deal with a business heavyweight.
00:45Your best hope for 250 grand is to buy yourself a scratch card.
00:50Come on, we've got no time, can we?
00:52It's an investment worth fighting for.
00:54Why are you lying then? We've just had that here.
00:57Just bear with me, bear with me a minute.
00:59I'll have this conversation with you.
01:0118 candidates.
01:03If you don't think that what's going to happen is effective, you've got to tell her.
01:06I said it, tell her!
01:0912 testing weeks.
01:11This is getting really, really childish now.
01:14If I was a project manager, I'd be trying to motivate my team.
01:16So that's not cool, that's not cool.
01:17One life-changing opportunity.
01:20You're fired, you're fired.
01:21You are a loose cannon.
01:24You're fired.
01:33Previously on The Apprentice.
01:35For this task, nine items to buy and one night to do it in.
01:39I know London really well.
01:41Rebecca dodged being project manager.
01:43I'd like to be project manager.
01:44So Trishna led one team.
01:46It makes sense to do it by location.
01:47In two directions.
01:50So is this like the ghetto, Paul?
01:51This is not the ghetto.
01:52She's so darjin.
01:54As Sofian chased his tail.
01:56Darjin, darjin.
01:57Oh, no, don't do that.
01:58Bye-bye.
01:58I want to go about five pounds, aren't I?
02:00And Jessica told tall tales.
02:03Could you do these for 100, then?
02:04Honestly, you'd be making my dad a very happy man.
02:06Do you have African black soap?
02:08Yeah.
02:08Their team's dreams faded.
02:13I am genuinely massively sorry.
02:14I think we need to split the teams, then decide who goes and gets what products.
02:18On the other team.
02:19It's not even on here.
02:20Project manager Courtney.
02:22The map doesn't go out this far.
02:23Lost his way.
02:25We're looking for a Moroccan tagine.
02:27Sorry, Turkish.
02:29And Karthik was caught napping.
02:32I ain't flippin' in this car.
02:34This is agony, isn't it?
02:35Go.
02:35But after a race against time...
02:37Oh, my God, come on!
02:38Where are they?
02:39I don't know!
02:40Courtney's team won the day.
02:42Well done.
02:43Francis got a wake-up call.
02:45You need to be on a winning team one day.
02:47I'm going to try on the next Tesla.
02:48Sophie-Anne had a nightmare.
02:50You didn't cooperate.
02:51You didn't work with us.
02:52You're too loud and impatient.
02:54But Rebecca...
02:56You asked for the opportunity to be a project manager, and once again, you didn't take it.
03:00...became the sixth casualty of the boardroom.
03:02You're fired.
03:03Now, 11 remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
03:195.40 a.m.
03:21Hello?
03:23Hello?
03:24Good morning.
03:26Lord Sugar would like you to join him aboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel at the Royal Victoria Dock, and please pack an overnight bag.
03:32Okay.
03:34Ah!
03:35Ah!
03:37Ah!
03:38Wake up!
03:40Royal Victoria Docks.
03:42Overnights?
03:43An overnight bag, yeah.
03:44Get out.
03:46Okay, let's go.
03:46Oh, my gosh, how exciting. We're going overnight somewhere.
03:53Yeah, I know.
03:54Nebula, I need to win. Oh, my God, I'm sorry.
03:56It's like a bit of a sick joke now.
03:58Is it Royal Docks today, say?
04:00Which is where the city airport is.
04:02Good for anywhere.
04:04I think it's going to be your winning week this week, friend.
04:07Oh, hi, I say.
04:08You're on Sugar feel sorry for me now, say.
04:10It's four in a row now for Team Titans. We're going to make it five.
04:23I can't see us losing to Nebula during this process. Genuinely can't see that happening.
04:27Who's not project managed?
04:29Dylan and Karthik.
04:31Oh, save us.
04:32Karthik, he's a really good talker.
04:34But at the end of the day, empty vessels make the loudest noise.
04:40Royal Victoria Docks, formerly London's largest shipyard.
05:10Good morning.
05:15Good morning, Lord Sugar.
05:17Now, here we are on a super yacht, which is London's only floating hotel.
05:23Now, the boating and boating leisure industry is worth a massive three billion pounds a year.
05:30Now, I want you to get a piece of that action, so I'm sending you to the annual boat show in Pool Harbour.
05:37Your task is very simple. Pick the right products and sell them.
05:43Some of them are going to be very high ticket value, so I want to see some impressive sales figures.
05:49Dylan, you're very creative, very arty.
05:52But I want you to sell, yeah?
05:54The team that generate the highest sales will win, and in the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
06:01Now, Francis, you haven't been on a winning team yet, so you're going to be the project manager for Nebula.
06:08So let's see if you can win.
06:11Karthik, you haven't led a team yet, so you're going to be the project manager of Titans.
06:16Everything clear?
06:17Yes.
06:18Well, good luck, and I'll see you in the boardroom in a few days' time.
06:22Off you go.
06:22All right, guys, so here we are, and Karthik finally gets to be PM, sir.
06:31I am a brilliant project manager, and one of the proofs of that is that I project managed the conception of my baby boy.
06:38I know the exact hotel room in the exact country on the exact day that he was conceived.
06:43Now, how many parents can give the gift of that information to their kids?
06:46Does anybody here have experience with boats, has done boating before, knows a friend who owns a boat, anything of that sort?
06:54I've got zero experience.
06:55No, but I think this is more about selling products for a high range, which is what I've done for most of my career, sir.
07:01Does anybody else have high-end client experience, like dealing with millionaires or hundreds of thousands of pounds kind of sales?
07:06No?
07:06OK.
07:07The way I thought of splitting this team was GrĂ¡inne would go with Courtney and sell the big ticket items, but that was before Samuel, you said you'd had experience in this.
07:14That's what I'm thinking about at the moment, so I need to take a call.
07:17Right.
07:21OK, here we go.
07:22So I'm going to stick with what I thought originally, which is GrĂ¡inne and Courtney in charge of the high ticket items.
07:27Samuel, you're with me.
07:28Selling to the public.
07:29I think Karthik made a tactical error.
07:31Samuel declared that he's got experience with high-end sales.
07:34Where is he?
07:35He's not there.
07:35OK, cool, let's rock.
07:37Let's go.
07:40Team Splir, I've already got an idea in my head.
07:42I'm going to be comfortable wherever.
07:43I actually pitched the UK's leading shipbuilder last year.
07:47Right.
07:47I want to definitely be in the high-ticket items.
07:50OK, myself and Sophie-Ann, high ticket.
07:53The rest of you do the other items.
07:56Please listen to each other.
07:57Paul, I want you to be my sub-team leader.
07:59Paul, I don't like his personality, but I trust his decision process.
08:02Don't undermine people, because this is where we are going wrong.
08:06I've decided to take Sophie with me, because if I'd left him in the sub-team with Paul, it could have created friction.
08:11That's something I'm not going to stand for.
08:13Let's go.
08:13First win for Team Nebula.
08:14Yes.
08:1511am, team's head for the southwest coast.
08:25I'll be honest, I think you've made a big mistake, and you've sent a make-up artist and a product designer to the high end.
08:30I had to take a call.
08:31I took a call on the evidence side.
08:33Don't take it personally.
08:34Pool harbour on the Dorset coast.
08:43With over 15,000 visitors expected, tomorrow's boat show is an opportunity to haul in big profits.
08:52Right, so these are the products, guys.
08:54First task for the sub-teams...
08:56I like these.
08:58Too small for me, but...
09:00Choose eye-catching items to fill their stalls.
09:04I've got the fishing rod pen here.
09:09I've got a big one!
09:10I've fished.
09:11This is not a fisherman's tool.
09:13It's a fish cushion.
09:14But they are really low price, and that means you've got to sell a hell of a lot to get good sales in.
09:19They're nothing amazing.
09:20Oh, we've found Nebula.
09:22For Karthik's team, the same selection.
09:25I like these.
09:26I think they're kitsch.
09:26I think they're fun.
09:28So, what is this, actually?
09:29So, you get out of the water, and you put this on, and you just sit there, so you don't have to be, like, standing.
09:33$29.99.
09:34This is so cool.
09:36Okay, I'm living for this.
09:38I don't know how many people snorkelling.
09:39Might go there knowing snorkels.
09:41Snorkelling and scuba in the UK is still a big sport.
09:43I really like it.
09:44I really like it.
09:47Stock scrutinised...
09:49My choice says kids' bags and the fishing rods.
09:52Decision time.
09:52I'm definitely not having them fishing rods.
09:54So, we're going with the child's bags, and we're going with the full-faced snorkel.
09:57We could put you in a swimming costume, and you could put this on top, and say, see, I can check it out, and you can't see a thing.
10:05First product, cut and dried.
10:07So, the changing robe it is.
10:09One more to hook the punters.
10:11Well, I'm just trying to decide between these two.
10:15Somebody has to take a call.
10:17I'll take a call.
10:21Alana?
10:22I am leaning towards the snorkels.
10:24I like the snorkel as well.
10:26I don't know anything about snorkelling, whereas these, the eye catch in.
10:29Yeah, you're right.
10:30Carthy was unwilling to just make a decision on which product he thought the team should go for.
10:37He's just not a leader.
10:40And...
10:41I'm going to go for the snorkel.
10:43We don't know anything about snorkelling, whereas these, we can sell loads of them.
10:46I'm happy with cushions as well.
10:50Out in the harbour...
10:51Both high-end teams test the merchandise.
11:00Turn.
11:01Turn the wheel.
11:03That's it.
11:04Grania and Courtney sample a £20,000 speedboat.
11:08Turn it down.
11:10I'm absolutely so.
11:13While Francis and Sofiane take a spin...
11:16..on a £16,000 jet ski.
11:25That was amazing.
11:27It was great.
11:28I thought I was going to die at one stage, but we got there.
11:31Next, for both teams...
11:33How many people can you fit on there?
11:35It'll hold five people.
11:37Gather pertinent product information.
11:39Is it petrol or run?
11:40Petrol, yes.
11:41And what size is the hull?
11:43Sorry, the...
11:43The hull?
11:44The hull, yeah.
11:45It's 16 foot two.
11:47So how was that?
11:48They're absolutely beautiful machines and that, you know, that passion and energy.
11:52It's just incredible.
11:53I'm actually used to this stuff.
11:55My brother used to own a jet ski, so he's kind of brought back memories.
11:58It's a toy.
11:59It's amazing.
12:01How long ago was your brother?
12:01My brother was eight years ago.
12:03Not as powerful as that, I can tell you that.
12:05I think Francis and Sofiane were more interested in winning over the guy with their personalities.
12:10They certainly didn't show much professionalism, let alone glean useful information to sell it tomorrow.
12:17I think selling these is more like the connection, you know, you're selling a dream.
12:22I'm very, very confident.
12:24Thank you very much.
12:24I want that jet ski.
12:27Keep the enthusiasm high, keep the energy high.
12:29Both teams also need a mid-range product for their stalls.
12:33The strategy when we meet these guys, be loving about the product, show our enthusiasm.
12:37Sounds good?
12:38Sounds good.
12:39For a chance to sell tomorrow, they must impress today.
12:44Now, that looks very interesting.
12:46First up for Karthik's team, a water sports board.
12:49Price, £299.
12:52Pull like you're a speedboat.
12:56Is this a beginner's access model?
12:59Yes, absolutely.
13:00For Francis' sub-team, same product.
13:02It's for people that tried water sports, failed miserably, I thought, I can't do it, I'll give up.
13:07Looks so cool.
13:08This is amazing.
13:09Next, a stand-up paddleboard.
13:12So, paddleboarding is currently the fastest growing water sport in Britain.
13:16I did paddleboarding for the first time last year.
13:19I loved it.
13:21And the foot locks in here, I presume, and then you paddle with it?
13:24No, that's just for carrying it.
13:26OK.
13:28We need that wood.
13:29That is a winner.
13:31We could have asked whether he does any offers, as in, like, package deals at the show, but we didn't.
13:36Yeah, you can put all sorts of luggage, as it were, there.
13:39All right.
13:39And the price of this?
13:40£4.39.
13:41OK.
13:42Would you be interested in doing an introductory prize just for tomorrow?
13:45We're open to that.
13:46So, uh, the best price we could do on this board is, like, £3.99.
13:51Items evaluated...
13:53I prefer the paddleboard because you can do the activity without the jet ski.
13:56Decision time.
13:57So I think we've decided on that?
13:59Yeah.
13:59All right.
13:59OK, let's go for it.
14:00The paddleboard is definitely a big court sort of...
14:03For me, that's the one.
14:04Paddleboard.
14:05Fingers crossed.
14:07With both teams chasing the paddleboards, the vendor will decide who represents him.
14:12Good evening.
14:13It's Andy Sambach, style paddleboards.
14:15This is Karthik here from Team Titans.
14:16We're all hoping that you will go with us.
14:19We loved your paddleboard and we're all great salespeople.
14:21Two of us are professionals.
14:23Hi, Andy.
14:24We'd really like to sell your paddleboard tomorrow.
14:28The straightforward answer is yes.
14:30Yay!
14:32Basically, I chose Nebula.
14:34Right.
14:35Oh, that's a shame.
14:36They understand what it takes to be successful at a trade show.
14:40They negotiated from me a special closing price.
14:44Jessica, in particular, you've thought about selling.
14:47Oh, thank you so much.
14:49Bye now.
14:49Bye!
14:50Yes!
14:50Yes!
14:51Yes, come on!
14:52Back in the harbour, high-end teams have swapped high-end machines.
15:00Straighten up.
15:03Straighten up.
15:04What?
15:05Is Karen still there?
15:08I think we need to know as much as possible to be able to sell these.
15:12Grania and Courtney seek vital statistics.
15:15What size engine is it?
15:17That's 1,812 cc, supercharged and intercored.
15:20What speed does that go?
15:22That's going to do around about 70 miles an hour.
15:25Taking a different tack...
15:27Can you give us a little 30-second pitch about the boat?
15:30Frances.
15:31It's an entry-level boat aimed towards the new boater, basically.
15:35And they're so easy to drive as well, aren't they?
15:36Yes.
15:37I think that's the beautiful thing about it.
15:39My strategy here was purely to be myself, and I think we've absolutely done enough to be offered both of the items.
15:44Thank you so much, Gary.
15:45Time to pick a premium product.
15:48Here we have the AG1586.
15:51One of our superior models in the range.
15:55Hey, Grania, how are you doing?
15:57Me and Courtney are swaying more on the jet ski.
15:59I think we'd be happy for them to go with jet skis as well.
16:02Yeah, yeah.
16:02I'm confident about the jet ski.
16:04I'm 100% behind the jet ski.
16:06The vendor will now decide who has impressed the most.
16:12Hello, Nigel speaking.
16:13Nigel, it's Grania from Team Titans.
16:15Grania.
16:15I was pleased with the specification questions I was asking.
16:19Yeah.
16:19If you're prepared to do a bit of studying, I'd like to carry with you.
16:23Nigel, thank you very, very much.
16:25Don't let us down.
16:26OK, bye, bye.
16:27We did it.
16:30Shall we give Nigel a call at the jet skis?
16:32Fingers crossed.
16:34Hello, Nigel speaking.
16:35Hi, Nigel.
16:36It's Francis.
16:37Have you warmed up a bit?
16:38Not quite, but I think I might give you a lot of the jet skis in the morning.
16:42Nigel?
16:45Right.
16:46Well, can you tell me what model it was we were going to be selling tonight?
16:50The 1.8 Yamaha.
16:52Yes, it was an FX SVHO, and that's where it went wrong.
16:56So you think it's all based on specs?
16:59No, it's based on knowledge.
17:01OK, thanks for your time anyway.
17:03Jet ski dreams dashed.
17:06Don't let it get me down.
17:08I'm quite disappointed, but...
17:09I got over it straight away.
17:11However, Sofian, it was like a personal dig at him.
17:14The team now have the speedboat to sell tomorrow.
17:17We ask technical questions, sort of.
17:20I don't think that we can, like, get us down.
17:22He was there just wallowing in self-pity.
17:24He's going to have to take a long, hard look at himself,
17:26and if we lose the task, it will be because of Sofian.
17:3010pm.
17:32That's my books and appointments.
17:33Last task for both high-end teams.
17:37Chase up warm leads provided by the vendors.
17:40I'd really love to book an appointment with you,
17:42because they're filling up fast.
17:43OK.
17:44Oh, you're so up for it.
17:45This is great.
17:46I've been informed that you've expressed some interest
17:48in purchasing a jet ski.
17:49I'm eating a lasagna, but never mind.
17:51Homemade?
17:52Oh, yeah, actually, it's quite tasty.
17:53I'm a little bit jealous, if I'm being honest.
17:55Do you want to say 1.30, just to give you a bit of breathing space?
17:58OK.
17:59Bye.
17:59Yeah, goodbye.
18:00Do you want me to do the rest of these?
18:02Yeah, carry on.
18:03I'm not going to lie, I'm a natural at this.
18:1210am.
18:14Show day.
18:17For Karthik.
18:18Right, guys, here we are.
18:20Product pricing by committee.
18:22Right, here we go.
18:23The double-changing robe.
18:24The minimum price for that is £29.99.
18:27Do we go with the minimum, or do we go with the markup on top?
18:29I think if we say they're £34.99, or if you buy two for £60.
18:33What do you think, Samuel?
18:34I think that's a good idea.
18:35Very good idea.
18:36And then these are the fish cushions.
18:38They come in three styles, £12.99, £7.99, £4.99.
18:42Why don't we sell it as a set of three?
18:43Makes me think I should bring you into this team,
18:45by the way you're talking.
18:48Right, team split.
18:49Sam has sold high-level items before,
18:51but I'm going to stick with Courtney and Groni
18:53after we go to the high end.
18:54Given the fact that winning is a jet ski,
18:56which I think is the high-impact item,
18:57we sell a few of those, we win the task.
18:59The pressure is on with Grania and Courtney with the jet skis,
19:02because that's where the task will be won or lost.
19:04Hopefully, they can get some sales.
19:06If not, then it will be a question
19:08that Karthik will need to answer in the boardroom.
19:11OK, team, it is raining, but you know what they say,
19:13when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
19:16We'll win this.
19:16All right.
19:21Let's see what we've got.
19:23Sizing up her sub-team's stock selection,
19:26Francis.
19:27So these are the snorkel masks.
19:29What are they retail at?
19:29$29.99?
19:31Brilliant.
19:31The next one.
19:32The next one is the bag.
19:34So these ones, if I'm correct, are $19.99.
19:36It's buy one, get one, half price.
19:38Fantastic.
19:39I'm expecting all of them gone.
19:40Yeah.
19:40So what is this, guys?
19:42So this is the pedal board.
19:44Stop it.
19:44Yeah.
19:45The smaller one has an average blow-up time of four minutes,
19:49but I did it in about two yesterday.
19:53Guys, right, today, I don't want absolutely no negativity,
19:57any mention of the word jet ski, and I'll lose my hand, OK?
20:00See you later, guys.
20:01I wish the instructions were written in English, not French.
20:07Selling at a show price of just under 15 grand...
20:11Free cup holders, they've got.
20:12...Courtney and Grania lift the lid on their luxury jet ski.
20:16That's storage.
20:17That's your engine.
20:18No, that's storage.
20:19It's not.
20:20Is it the engine?
20:21Yeah.
20:21OK.
20:22I think now we need to know what we're talking about.
20:26Yeah, we need to learn this.
20:27It's a recent hour.
20:27OK, and so the key ones from this, you think, the cover...
20:30The cover, the wetsuit, the shoes and the gloves.
20:33All together comes to 185, so...
20:36OK.
20:36All Grania and Courtney are doing is checking out the technical details.
20:403.5 metres long.
20:42And testing each other's knowledge.
20:43There's a weight restriction on a trailer for insurance purposes.
20:46People are passing by and they are completely oblivious to it.
20:49It's cruising as well as sports riding.
20:52This is a selling task.
20:54So they've got to capture everybody.
20:55They're missing that opportunity.
20:57There you go.
20:58Do I look cool?
21:00Definitely cool.
21:09On the other half of the team...
21:11It needs to just go there and then go on.
21:14Designer Dylan...
21:15Aquarium!
21:16...works up a water wonder world.
21:18Yeah, it's coming to life now.
21:20Would you like to stay up inside our little aquarium?
21:23And pushes hard for sales.
21:25It comes with a bag.
21:25It comes with this.
21:26OK.
21:27299.
21:27Everything you see here you get for that inclusive price.
21:30OK, thank you.
21:31No sale, unfortunately.
21:33High five.
21:33There we go.
21:34Boom, let me drop it for you.
21:35For Samuel...
21:36That's yours.
21:37Thank you very much.
21:38The first deal of the day.
21:39And the price is 29.99.
21:43Five pounds under the agreed sale price.
21:46Thank you very much.
21:47Samuel, not for the first time, has decided that he's going to go on a frolic of his own
21:51and do his own thing and set his own pricing.
21:53You've got to be changed here now as well.
21:54That's not great because it doesn't show him to be a team player.
21:58Have a very good day.
21:59Take care.
22:00Do you like water activities?
22:04There she is, Sofian.
22:06Under pressure to propel her team to victory...
22:09Let's get set up, yeah?
22:10Francis.
22:11Pop them in the cool box.
22:13...with technology salesman Sofian.
22:16You can actually leave them like that on show, look.
22:19Nice.
22:20No, Sofian.
22:21Are you really leaving a bottle out?
22:24Yeah, or not?
22:26All right, Sofian?
22:28Huh?
22:29Sofian at the moment is like a child in a toy shop.
22:32Just looking for the keys.
22:36He just gets distracted so easily.
22:40This is about selling the boat, knowing the specs.
22:42He's not bothered about any of that.
22:44You ready?
22:45Go on.
22:45He's got a maximum speed of 32 miles an hour, which is 28 knots.
22:49Say it back to me.
22:5130 miles an hour, which is equivalent...
22:5232 miles an hour.
22:54No, it says 30.
22:5528 knots.
22:5532 miles an hour, 28 knots, max-speed.
22:58Price is £20,000.
22:59£20,430.
23:00No, £20,340.
23:03Yep, right.
23:04Retain that information?
23:04Yep.
23:05Perfect.
23:07You know I'm not prepared to lose this task on the basis of his ignorance.
23:14Are you pink or blue?
23:17On the sub team...
23:18Pink extra small.
23:19Colourful products pull in punters.
23:23This is one of Ed Summers.
23:26But with sales slow...
23:28Would you like to take one of them, maybe?
23:29No.
23:30£29,99.
23:31No.
23:32All right, no worries.
23:33I've got a four-year-old, if she's got one of these, she absolutely loves them.
23:37Jessica's pitch goes overboard.
23:39Do you paddleboard at all?
23:41Yeah, because we've got a special price today at £3,99.
23:43How many are sold?
23:45Uh, I've sold about six.
23:47Can't lie to him about how many we've sold.
23:49We've sold five today.
23:51Jessica's been engaging, but she's embellishing, telling little fibs, my kids like these bags.
23:57Well, her kids have never seen them.
23:58I've sold five paddleboards.
24:00She hasn't sold any.
24:00Okay.
24:01Oh, everyone?
24:02Yeah.
24:02Fantastic!
24:03Woo!
24:04She's sailing close to the wind.
24:06I'm so happy.
24:07Thanks so much, Jason.
24:09Take care.
24:09Bye.
24:10You can't lie to anyone about anything.
24:12Oh, right, about anything?
24:13No, you can't lie.
24:14Good advice, Paul.
24:20Good afternoon, sir.
24:23Back at Karthik's stall...
24:24Let me introduce you to the Zip waterboards.
24:27Dylan attempts to reel in a big sail.
24:29You can either lie flat or kneel up.
24:32For £299.
24:34It's extremely floatable so that it skims across the water.
24:38I think that's possibly a deal done.
24:40Awesome.
24:40Yeah.
24:41Great.
24:41I'll come back up to you.
24:42Are you going to pay in cash?
24:43I'll have to go down and get it.
24:44Come back and ask for Dylan now.
24:46The charm of the Irish.
24:49I think I'm just going to slip on the robe.
24:51Struggling to land his first sail of the day.
24:55I feel so nice.
24:56I can just reach in and change my bra.
24:58Project manager Karthik is keen to show off his wares.
25:02Right, I'm going to take my trousers off.
25:05Right now?
25:06This just makes me look like a friar.
25:08I don't want you stripping in public.
25:10OK.
25:10The reason I was thinking of actually using the changing robe to change is to add a bit
25:17of wow factor.
25:19However, there is the question of taste as well.
25:23This is the changing robe.
25:24You can go get your ice cream without showing a lovely body to everybody.
25:26Karthik is mad.
25:31Samuel, does that style actually put people off?
25:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:36Do you think we should tell them at least?
25:37We'll leave them for another hour at least.
25:39Do you have a jet ski or a boat?
25:42You're a lucky person because we've got a deal for you.
25:47George?
25:48Yes.
25:48Hello, I'm Frances.
25:49Lovely to meet you.
25:51Selling their speedboat at a show price of just under 19 grand.
25:55What does it weigh, the trailer and the boat, together?
25:57Frances and Sofian, keen to impress.
26:00Just under a ton.
26:02No, that's the weight capacity.
26:04It's lovely, isn't it?
26:09They've added, you know, the sports canapé.
26:11Say again?
26:12The canapé over the top.
26:14Right.
26:15But I think a lot of people are liking the layout as well, you know, for a day out.
26:18I'm going to be honest with you.
26:19The feeling I'm getting right now with these four seats feels like I'm in a hot tub.
26:26Thank you so much.
26:27Thank you, George.
26:28Bye.
26:29He wants it, don't worry.
26:31How do you know?
26:32I could say, I could read body language.
26:35Good afternoon.
26:36All-weather jet skis?
26:38Oh, I'd love one.
26:38It's a bit cold for me.
26:40Is it?
26:41Also yet to sell and battling the elements, Grania and Courtney.
26:45All-weather sports jet skis.
26:48Lovely day for jet skis.
26:50I'm just trying to think of opening techniques.
26:52Like, come rain or shine, guaranteed a good time.
26:56Sound like karting now, didn't I?
26:57It does sound like karting.
26:58How do you think they're doing?
27:00Fingers crossed they sold some jet skis.
27:04Hello.
27:05Hey, guys.
27:06How are you doing, Grania?
27:07I think the weather's just a little bit, you know, disappointing, but it is what it is and
27:11we sold no jet skis.
27:13Well, you know, hopefully we can turn this around.
27:15All righty.
27:15Bye.
27:16Bye.
27:16Bye.
27:16Bye.
27:17Bye.
27:17Bye.
27:17Bye.
27:17Bye.
27:17We haven't sold any jet skis yet.
27:19Forget them.
27:20They're fine.
27:20They're going to have to do what they're doing now and we're going to have to do what we're
27:23doing here.
27:23So let's focus on these boards.
27:24Okay.
27:25Earlier on, Sammy was incredibly upset when he was denied the opportunity of going to sell
27:29jet skis.
27:30During the phone conversation, there was an opportunity for somebody to move to high end,
27:35but at a time when it was critical and key to the group, he's just ducked it.
27:39Are you into water sports at all?
27:40No.
27:41Cool.
27:42Do you have a boat?
27:43No, I don't.
27:43Or a jet ski?
27:44No.
27:45Or we do have some beautiful fish cushions.
27:50Finally, a break in the weather sees visitors flood the boat show.
27:55I can see you checking out my full facial snorkel.
27:59So it's $19.99.
28:00Both stalls start to shift stock.
28:03Thank you very much.
28:03And I'll just give you your change.
28:05$2.99 for today only.
28:07$25.99.
28:08Enjoy.
28:09It was lovely to meet you.
28:10Take care.
28:10Bye.
28:11One, two, three, four, five boards available now.
28:13I'll find my business partner and we'll come and have a proper look.
28:17Take one with you.
28:18Tie it to you.
28:20Maybe.
28:21Look up for you.
28:22Trout for you.
28:23You've just made my day.
28:26Look at that.
28:26You and the gods are saying, that's the way ahead.
28:29Who's your favorite?
28:30You are our favorite.
28:31Oh, that's it.
28:33Oh, you're just on holiday.
28:35Footfall up.
28:36It's $2.99.
28:38But sale's still down for Dylan.
28:40We're not going to buy anything today.
28:41Oh, okay.
28:42Take care of your time.
28:42Bye.
28:43His earlier sale now sunk.
28:45I shook hands with one lady with a water board.
28:49She disappeared off into the horizon and never resurfaced with the cash.
28:52That's really demoralizing.
28:55Hi, guys.
28:56Has he arrived?
28:57I'm under pressure.
28:58Every sale matters for me on this task.
29:00And if I have to ruffle feathers, I will.
29:02I was looking after these guys, Alana.
29:04All right.
29:05Here's your receipt.
29:08Dylan.
29:10Yes, love.
29:11That was not cool.
29:12That was my sale.
29:13They were here earlier today.
29:15I'm aware they were here earlier.
29:16I was speaking to them before you were speaking to them initially.
29:19Honestly.
29:19To come over when someone is talking and go.
29:21Yeah, but her boyfriend hadn't come back.
29:23That's not cool.
29:23That's fine, Alana, but you don't understand what happened.
29:25We all want to make sales.
29:26Let's be positive.
29:27Sly, sly bastard.
29:34Hello.
29:34Hi there.
29:35How are you?
29:35Good.
29:36On the sub team.
29:37Oh, Ross.
29:38How are you?
29:38After little interest.
29:40Have you got a jet ski?
29:42I have, yes.
29:43At last, a promising prospect for Grania and Courtney.
29:47I'm going to show you the jet ski.
29:48It's 1.8 petrol.
29:500 to 30 in 1.3 seconds.
29:52The unit price on them, 16,200.
29:55And that includes the trailer.
29:57That's only a water price.
29:59I tend to buy usually four or five skis at a time.
30:03What exactly do you do then?
30:04So we run jet ski experiences and jet ski training.
30:07If he was to take four, we'd be able to do a better price.
30:10Fourteen, nine, nine, nine.
30:12He's not looking for one machine.
30:13He's talking about two, three, four machines.
30:15That's very exciting.
30:17I mean, the big thing is the warranty.
30:19Do you know what the commercial warranty would be on this
30:21if I was looking at buying four or five?
30:22At the minute, there's a 12-month warranty on them.
30:25With something like that, I think we can just easily find out
30:27from the dealer if that's an optional extra,
30:29if that's something that's really important to yourself.
30:32The guy wanted to know about special commercial warranty terms
30:35so they quite correctly pass this customer on to the local dealer.
30:40So Ross is interested in possibly getting two or three or four
30:43and what warranty you have on commercial.
30:46Excellent.
30:47Yeah, I can take over from here.
30:48Thank you very much.
30:48We could potentially have four sails on our hands.
30:52We just don't know.
30:53But I'm going to stay positive and hopefully we've got them.
30:57On the other team...
30:59When we're pitching, no over-talking each other.
31:02No, not at all, not at all.
31:03Another chance for Francis and Sofiane to get pitch perfect.
31:08How you doing?
31:08Hello.
31:09What a day.
31:10You couldn't make it up, did you?
31:11On the bright side, though, the boat does come with a canapé,
31:17so, you know, two miles an hour.
31:18Top speed, about 32 miles an hour.
31:22They used my weight yesterday because I've got to, you know,
31:24put on a bit of weight, so they said...
31:26They've got to ask me to sit here so you can go faster.
31:30Do you want to sit in the driver's seat?
31:31Yeah.
31:32If you twist my arm, I might be able to throw in a couple of extras.
31:36I can either do the fish finder or what we can do for you.
31:40The fish finder is just to give you kind of an overview of what's underneath.
31:44They will come built in, which is worth about £300.
31:48Or we can do four life jackets for you.
31:50Right.
31:51We are doing the show price for £18,950,
31:55and that's absolutely everything that you see on the boat today.
32:01Are you happy to go ahead?
32:04Yeah, go on, then.
32:05Fantastic.
32:07Congratulations.
32:08Congratulations.
32:08Congratulations.
32:09Congratulations.
32:10With sales only confirmed after credit checks by the vendors,
32:14final figures won't be revealed till the boardroom.
32:18Bye-bye, bye-bye.
32:18Bye-bye.
32:19Well done.
32:22All right.
32:24One hour until close of business.
32:27Right, come and roll that last offer before we go.
32:31Don't hide under the umbrella.
32:33I can see you smiling at me.
32:35It's horrific.
32:36A second booked appointment for Courtney and Grania.
32:41How long have you had your current jet ski?
32:43About six years.
32:44Okay.
32:44I am looking for one, but I've got to get rid of the old work.
32:47Yeah, yeah.
32:47Well, would you want to speak to our finance department?
32:50Yeah.
32:50Get rid of that headache for you.
32:52Okay?
32:52Yeah.
32:53I think you should have gone for it, sir.
32:56$1,698.
32:57Green bullfish.
32:59Are you all right there?
33:01For Francis and Sofiane.
33:04You'd get everything at $18,950.
33:07Tough negotiations.
33:09Our budget is £15,000.
33:11Right.
33:11Obviously, I can't go up.
33:13You need to come down.
33:15Hello.
33:16Do paddle board.
33:17You've got some kitchen bags all on offer.
33:19You look like something out of a Stanley Kubrick movie.
33:22Whee!
33:23I think you've really got to bear in mind how happy this is going to make Hayden.
33:27Pulling on the heartstrings of the children now.
33:32Keyside Emporium.
33:33Hoping to offload all their remaining stock to trade.
33:37Dylan, make sure you go in the lead this one, yeah?
33:39Yeah.
33:39It's Dylan's last chance to sell big.
33:42We brought some samples of the large ones.
33:44Yeah.
33:44The medium ones.
33:45And these little guys.
33:46Yeah.
33:47My dog would love one.
33:48Yeah.
33:49I will buy one from you.
33:50A latte.
33:52Hey.
33:52Go.
33:54Come on, come on.
33:55As the rain pours down, customers dry up.
34:02Oh!
34:03This is, like, pretty dangerous.
34:05Look at that.
34:06Look at that.
34:08But let's just head back.
34:09It's crazy weather.
34:10Yeah.
34:126 p.m.
34:13Hey, guys.
34:14Trading time over.
34:15Is there happiness in your voice?
34:17We had two appointments that come in.
34:19Potentially fired, though.
34:21Is that a potential fired jet ski, sorry?
34:22Potentially.
34:24All right, guys.
34:25We've done two or three.
34:28And from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much.
34:30And let's get Nebula the win.
34:32Tonight, takings will be totaled.
34:36Tomorrow, sink or swim in the boardroom.
34:40You can go to the boardroom now.
34:56Well, this task, as you all know, was about the boating world.
35:20You had accessories, like fish cushions.
35:23And then you had paddle boards and all that type of stuff to sell for £300, right?
35:27And you had jet skis and boats that could be, I don't know what they were, 20,000, whatever
35:32they were.
35:32And we had bad weather, yeah?
35:35And the boat show has to go on.
35:37And that meant business had to go on.
35:38But having said all that, I've heard from both Claude and Karen that it's more like coat
35:44and scarf than coat d'azor, from what I can understand down there, yeah?
35:49So, we'll start with Titans.
35:54Now, Karthik, I made you project manager.
35:57How did you set your team out then?
35:59I came out and I said, OK, does anybody have any experience selling high-end items?
36:03Samuel raised his hand up.
36:04And I said, OK, so Samuel...
36:05So he was in charge of selling high-end items?
36:07No, he wasn't.
36:08I put him selling to the public because he sold scarves very well to the public at Liberties
36:12and he sold sweets very well to the public on the street at Brighton.
36:15You think you should have been in the high-selling product?
36:17Based on everyone's experiences, yes, which I've vocalised with him, so...
36:21Who did you put to sell the high-end items then?
36:24OK, so I put Gronya and Courtney selling high-end items.
36:27We wanted a jet ski.
36:29I heard that the other team also wanted to go for the jet ski,
36:31but then our sub-team won that product for us to sell.
36:34That's good.
36:34So you got what you wanted, yeah?
36:36What about all the other stuff you had to sell?
36:39Right, so there we encountered some hurdles.
36:42The first product representative came along with the standard paddleboard,
36:45which we really loved.
36:46But all of us failed to ask one very critical question.
36:50All of us failed to ask?
36:51Well, OK, I failed to ask for a trade discount.
36:55So we ended up getting the water sports waterboard
36:58and we had fish cushions and a towel changing robes.
37:02Hmm.
37:03So day two...
37:04Yeah, we had meetings booked in with clients that we'd called the previous day.
37:08I heard from Claude that a lot of the time you were standing with your back to the passing crowds.
37:13I believe we may have missed a trick in the morning when we were researching.
37:16However, in the afternoon, I was definitely speaking to many people.
37:19Well, that's the whole point of an exhibition.
37:21You're supposed to be engaging with the passing people.
37:25But anyway, I know there were some warm leads that the supplier was putting on to you.
37:29One person owned a local jet ski company.
37:32He was looking to invest into another four.
37:35Four?
37:35Four, yeah.
37:35Yeah.
37:36Fair enough.
37:37Dylan.
37:38Yes, Lord Sugar.
37:39What did you do?
37:40I took your comment as a challenge and I wanted to go...
37:43It was meant to say that.
37:44Yeah.
37:44Unfortunately, the weather was absolute washout.
37:47Yeah, we've done that.
37:48We've done the weather.
37:48Yeah.
37:49It didn't stop me engaging every single person that passed.
37:51I mean, one lady shook hands with me and then said she had to go and get her cash and disappeared into the horizon.
37:57I managed to sell some of the fish pillows.
38:00The robes were very difficult to sell because people didn't think they were value for money.
38:04The £29.99 robes.
38:06That's right.
38:07That you decided to charge £35 for.
38:09Yeah, so we had a pricing strategy.
38:11So no notice of the vendor and you stuck your price up, did you?
38:14The idea was we'd sell one for £34.99 and two for £59.99.
38:18You didn't take much notice of that, Samuel?
38:20No, I sold it for the RIP price.
38:22So you took no notice of his £35 then?
38:24People are aware that you can get them for £29.99 and I'm selling them for £34.99.
38:28That doesn't make sense.
38:29So I sold it for the RIP price.
38:32And Alana, what did you do?
38:35I stood by the waterboards all day.
38:36They were a bad product.
38:37We didn't choose the right product there.
38:39We didn't sell any of them.
38:40It wasn't a bad product.
38:42It wasn't.
38:42There was interest.
38:43We had a lot of people that were really close to buying.
38:46All of us.
38:46So it wasn't a bad product.
38:46What were you doing, Karthik?
38:49Did you sell anything?
38:50No, the others were.
38:51They were selling very well.
38:51They were selling the fish.
38:52So the fish ran out.
38:53So the PM has to run and get the fish and stock it up.
38:55I had all this admin work, this PM admin work.
38:58Then towards the end of the day...
38:59You didn't have to catch the fish though, did you?
39:00No.
39:01But it was...
39:01And as far as sales is concerned, I was the least seller on the day.
39:05Good project manager?
39:08I'm not sure about whether...
39:12I don't think Karthik's a leader, personally.
39:15Right.
39:17Now, Frances.
39:18Yes, Lorde?
39:19You've lost every task to date.
39:22I think the Flying Dutchman is less cursed than you.
39:26So...
39:26So, on the first day, myself and Sofian went to visit the high ticket items.
39:31You wanted the jet skis also as your number one choice?
39:34Yeah, we did.
39:35The jet ski representative, he felt that we didn't take enough interest in the specification.
39:39These people love their products.
39:41What was you interested in?
39:42We asked a couple of technical questions, but the gentleman felt that we didn't ask enough.
39:47A few times I did ask, but Sofian, you was going on about how eight years ago he rode jet skis.
39:52It's fair to say you were quite excited at that time.
39:55Quite excited.
39:56I would say very excited.
39:57Yeah, I was trying to be polite.
39:59But Sofian, he felt he was in Saint-Tropez riding around on the old speedboat, didn't you?
40:04I mean, I kind of fell in love with it.
40:06If I was to go back, I would actually pick the boat instead of the jet skis.
40:09Now then, the other products, our pool.
40:13Our first choice was the paddle board, and there was some colourful children's bags.
40:18Backpacks, yeah.
40:19And there was the snorkel mask.
40:21Who sold some?
40:22Jessica's energy was brilliant all day long, and she was constantly getting people into the stall.
40:27Jessica, known for a little bit of embellishment, trying to procure cigars by telling them they're for her dad, went into a similar mode.
40:36According to her, her family had more gear than the Olympic boat team.
40:40To be honest.
40:41You might not win this task, but you're favourite for the Booker Prize, I think.
40:44While she did embellish on that one sale, between myself, Trishna, and Jessica, it was a really good, high-energy day, and we were constantly busy.
40:53Frances, good project manager?
40:55Yeah, she was.
40:56She was clear at the start, which I think carried through.
40:58We had a great two days.
41:00Good.
41:00And you're happy with the cooperation?
41:03Yeah.
41:03Well, let's find out what happened with all these orders that you may or may not got from the dealers.
41:09So, Karen, let's talk about Paul's sub-team first.
41:13Yeah, they sold £2,580.68 worth of paddleboards, masks, and backpacks.
41:20Right.
41:21And, Claude, similarly, car-fixing.
41:23A titan's total for that category was £188.90.
41:32OK.
41:33And, Karen, did they close any deals on the boats?
41:36Um, well, I'm pleased to say that two of the sales passed the credit control, making your total for the day £40,480.68.
41:48And, Claude, what about the jet ski vendors?
41:51Well, jet skis didn't come through at all.
41:56No sales.
42:00So all they took is £188 on the day?
42:03That's correct.
42:04Do you want a tissue, Frances?
42:07Sorry!
42:08Are you crying?
42:08It's been six weeks losing.
42:11Well done.
42:12We gave them a proper kick right up the jet ski, didn't you?
42:15There.
42:15My God.
42:18That's a massive, massive win.
42:20So I've arranged a treat for you.
42:22It won't be standing in the rain of umbrellas, that's for sure.
42:25It is the Leander Club, the most successful rowing club in the world, and the double Olympic gold medalist, James Cracknell, is going to join you.
42:35So well done.
42:36I'll see you on the next hour.
42:37Thank you, thank you.
42:37Very well done.
42:38Yes!
42:40Oh my God!
42:42Yes!
42:44Oh my God!
42:47£40,000, £188.
42:49Go away, because I'll tell you, at least one of you is going to be fired today.
42:56All right?
42:57Off you go.
43:05Your coach will give you some top tips.
43:08Olympic champion James Cracknell.
43:11Enjoy it.
43:11Good luck.
43:12And the key thing is, you listen to the cops.
43:17I'd like to think the curse of Nebula has now been broken, thanks to my project management skills.
43:23Go!
43:23Stopping's attitude was an absolute nightmare.
43:25I feel like I'm spending my time babysitting.
43:28Come on!
43:29I've put my feelings crossed.
43:31I don't hide anything, and that's me.
43:33If I want something, I'll fight for it.
43:35Go to you.
43:35And I always get what I want.
43:37Anytime you want, Frances, you can get the all-wear anytime you want.
43:42That's it, you're done!
43:43Yeah!
43:46You made it up.
43:47Well done, Frances.
43:48Love the taste of winning, eh?
43:50Bloody hell, my arse was absolutely killing after rowing.
43:55Huge, massive loss, the biggest loss I've had in my life.
43:59There's no-one here that excelled themselves.
44:02I can say that me and Courtney worked so good as a team.
44:05It takes a certain skill set and a certain mindset to close high-end customers.
44:09So I think Courtney and Grinder should be worried going into the boardroom.
44:12People were not in a buying mood.
44:14I don't like losing.
44:15I don't want to be in this position.
44:17I don't want to be drinking shit coffee in there.
44:18I want to be winning and going on treats.
44:20Samuel should have been on the high-ticket items,
44:22but I don't feel you really put your case that strongly.
44:25That's not for me to be arguing with the PM of where I should be placed.
44:28I believe in passion.
44:29I'm a passionate guy.
44:30If he had shown me the passion that he's mad about selling,
44:33he would have been selling the big-ticket item.
44:35If he was on your team, would he have sold?
44:36I don't think he would have been able to sell more than what we would have done.
44:39No, no, you can't say it because that's what I do for my career.
44:41So all I can say is that I put myself forward.
44:44He said enough to make sure that he said it,
44:46but then he hung back and that is not...
44:48That is a snake in the grass.
44:58Could you send the candidates in, please?
45:00Yes, Lord Sugar.
45:02Lord Sugar, we'll see you now.
45:06£188.
45:20I mean, outrageous.
45:23It's a very, very horrible day in business for me.
45:26You've been entrusted as the project manager
45:28and you're about as useful as a trapdoor in a canoe.
45:33I don't know where to even start.
45:34But the jet skis were the most attractive items that we had on offer to us.
45:40Turns out in reality that boats are the ones that sold...
45:43Well, actually, the show is still going on.
45:46They sold some already today.
45:48So it's the selling, then, not the product choice.
45:50OK.
45:51Why didn't you sell any jet skis?
45:53To be honest, I...
45:54I'm shocked we didn't because I thought...
45:56What smell can you not get that instinct about when a customer's about to buy it?
46:01I thought the jet ski company man...
46:03I thought he literally was.
46:04You put all your eggs in one basket, which was these appointments that you made,
46:09but you had hours in between to approach customers.
46:12You didn't do it.
46:13I spoke to many people throughout the day.
46:16No, you didn't.
46:17That's the point.
46:17You know, what comes to mind here is you did your impression of Otis Redding,
46:22you know, sitting on the dock of the bay, watching all the people walk by, actually.
46:26I'm really disappointed in my own performance,
46:28and I believe that the reason Team Titans has won near enough every task
46:32is due to strong performances that I've given.
46:35Tell me, he put his hands up and said,
46:37I can sell high-priced product items.
46:40Why did you ignore it?
46:41Because there was no passion from him, Lord Sugar.
46:43He lifted his hands up, and then he said his little piece,
46:46and then he backed away into the shadow.
46:47With respect, you're the project manager.
46:49I've told you where I'm best placed.
46:51So, why didn't you sell any sport boards?
46:54They were items that need to be attached to jet skis or to boats.
46:56But, I mean, you were at a boat show,
46:58so one assumes that you're talking to people or dealing with people who've got boats.
47:02It's not just myself. It was a bad sales day.
47:04Not for Nebula.
47:06Not only the boat, Nebula smashed you on the non-high-priced items.
47:11That's correct. That's correct.
47:12All right. Alana, £42 are for sales.
47:16I genuinely am embarrassed, as I'm sure we all are.
47:19It's pathetic.
47:20I think certain individuals about the process
47:22haven't shown the ability to engage and sell very well.
47:25You sold more than anyone else, £78.
47:28But it's only two more fish.
47:30That's what's infuriating about this.
47:33You know, I'm actually going to speak now.
47:34But the whole process you keep coming to when it comes to me.
47:37To have a... No, wait, wait.
47:39Samuel, let me speak.
47:40You are a salesman and you did not sell a single board.
47:43But we should all be salespeople in this process.
47:45In Samuel's defence, I have seen him sell and he is always passionate.
47:48He's always engaging.
47:49What are you, his spokesperson?
47:51No, I just thought I could give my input.
47:53Why don't you talk about yourself?
47:54You spent all of your time setting up a nice stall, didn't you?
47:57Making it all look good and all...
47:58I tried to make the stand with Alana look sort of like an aquarium.
48:02It did attract a lot of attention.
48:04Not much attention because you sold hardly anything.
48:0746 quid's worth of stuff you sold.
48:09I try... I absolutely wanted to impress you Lord Sugar on that task.
48:12Where did this go wrong then?
48:13There was no strategy when we spoke to the product reps.
48:17You're still being ultra-pilat.
48:18I'm asking you a straightforward question.
48:20I think Karthik let the task down.
48:23Lord Sugar, a captain is as good as his team.
48:25I took a call based on what I have heard.
48:27The captain or the skipper, you skipped pretty much every decision as far as I can see.
48:32Give me a laptop, I'll make you a billion-dollar company.
48:34But ask me to put the prize on a rope.
48:36What?
48:37So, yes, my name is on the board.
48:38Your name is definitely on the board as running one of the most unsuccessful tasks that we've had.
48:46So, yes, I had a bad day.
48:48Yes, I had a horrible task.
48:49No, no, no, it's not a bad day, a diabolical day.
48:51It's the worst day.
48:52Karthik, Karthik, Karthik, listen to me.
48:55There's no excuse.
48:57You've been a diabolical project manager.
49:00I don't trust you to bring anybody back into this boardroom.
49:04Karthik, you're fired.
49:06I'll see you guys on the other side.
49:07Karthik, you were the sub-team leader.
49:29Which people do you think should be brought back into the boardroom now?
49:35I'm going to say Samuel, because I feel like he's gliding through the process and he's playing it very safe.
49:42Dylan, we've got Samuel.
49:43Who else?
49:44I find it extremely difficult to say Lord Sugar.
49:49Right.
49:49Myself.
49:50Yourself.
49:51Myself and Alana were weak sellers, so...
49:53Good, good, good.
49:55I got it.
49:57I'm not impressed with any of you at the moment.
49:59So, you two, bear up your game.
50:03Go back to the house and you three, go outside there and I'm going to call you back in later.
50:08One of you will be fired.
50:09Thank you, Lord Sugar.
50:10I think Lord Sugar made a wrong decision.
50:27He should have looked around the table, seen that there were weaker people in the process.
50:31Alana, for example, or Dylan, or maybe even Samuel.
50:34I'll just have to go on and make the billion dollar unicorn company that I want to make without him.
50:39And it is what it is, really.
50:44Now, about these other three.
50:47Well, Samuel, well, he certainly ducked it on this one.
50:50He should have insisted.
50:52And then when he had the opportunity of switching, he should have gone to the other side.
50:55Dylan, nice guy, right?
50:57Yeah, nice guy.
50:58Really, really nice guy.
50:59I mean, he's very willing and very keen, he's just not very able.
51:02Now, Alana has made error after error.
51:06I've got to say, that's the most I've heard from Alana for seven weeks.
51:10I think that she just needs to stop being so apologetic and put herself forward.
51:20Yes, Lord Sugar.
51:21Can you send the three of them in, please?
51:22Yes, Lord Sugar.
51:24Lord Sugar, we'll see you now.
51:29Samuel, on two occasions, you have demonstrated a disregard for instructions of a project manager.
51:50That's not true.
51:51In the first task, we had to sell suites.
51:53Alana said we should lower the price of the asset to her.
51:55No, we can sell the suites at this price and let's sell it for a higher price.
51:58Alana sent you out and said, I want to sell these at blob price.
52:05Here's the pricing strategy.
52:06And you went and sold it for whatever you wanted to sell it for.
52:09No, no, I've sold it for two suites by a higher price.
52:12I've sold them for £7.
52:14But the point I'm saying is you disregard the project manager's instructions then.
52:18And on this particular task, Karthik said £35 for this blanket and you started selling it for, well, whatever you could get for it.
52:27There were two incidents.
52:28You seem to do whatever you like.
52:29You seem to have the self-control of an Italian government, you know, you seem to do whatever you fancy.
52:39I was the only person who actually sold a towel because I sold it for the right price.
52:42The fact is, you didn't listen to what the project manager says.
52:45That's the whole key.
52:46Dylan, my instinct that you are a very nice chap, but to be blunt, I'm here to choose someone who may be my business partner.
52:57I'll admit that I'm not the best at selling 12 apples for a pound on a stall or on a street.
53:02And I do business in a different way than sometimes we do on a task.
53:05So you're in your comfort zone then?
53:07I pride myself on my talent.
53:09Alana?
53:11I think I've come across really quiet in the boardroom.
53:13You certainly have.
53:14Yeah, and I'm doing myself a misjustice because it's just when I'm in here.
53:18I'm not so sure about that, Alana.
53:20You don't agree?
53:21I think you've really suffered from a lack of confidence.
53:23And it's a great shame because I do think you have a lot to offer.
53:27I think I have grown in confidence as this process has gone on.
53:31Yeah.
53:32Samuel, I've had some questions about your sincerity in this process.
53:38You're playing the game.
53:39You manoeuvre yourself into situations where you can be a silent kind of assassin, really, if you like.
53:44Well, that's not necessarily true.
53:45I find individuals are speaking for the sake of speaking, whereas in this task, or the task, it's all about performing, which I've performed.
53:52So why shouldn't I fire you in this task, Tommy?
53:54I was in the process so far of top-solding every single task I've been involved in.
53:57You may have sold the most, but you didn't work with your team to sell the most.
54:01And I was there to watch you.
54:02That's not true.
54:03That is true.
54:04That's not how it happens.
54:05Dylan, tell me quickly, why should you stay in this process?
54:09Because I've been dedicated to every single task.
54:12I've supported multiple project managers.
54:15I've supported team members.
54:16I've boosted morale.
54:18Okay, so you're a nice guy, basically.
54:19No, I'm not just a nice guy. I'm also really aggressively and active.
54:22That's what I'm hearing. You're a nice guy, really.
54:25I think I've heard enough.
54:27I'm finding it very, very difficult to decide who's going to remain in the process.
54:33Samuel, there's so many people that have got, well, I won't say bad things to say about you,
54:39but there's not many that have got good things to say about you.
54:41Dylan, I have to consider whether you are the right material for me.
54:47If I can go through the task.
54:47No, no, I don't want to hear any more whether you are the right material for me.
54:53Alana, you've got your own business, although you've been a bit scatty when I talked to you in this boardroom.
54:59I promise you it's just nerves in here.
55:01No, I'm going to be quiet. Just for one minute.
55:03You claim that you're better out on task. That's arguable.
55:07But the fact is you have had your own business since you were 17, so you know how to do something.
55:13So I think for that reason, we've got to allow you to remain in this process.
55:19Samuel, I'm not too happy with what I'm hearing.
55:29And Dylan, I've got this feeling.
55:32I've created money from air. I don't create products.
55:35I don't want to hear any more from you.
55:37Being a nice guy, it's not good enough to win this process.
55:45It's a tough decision.
55:52There's a saying, no smoke without fire.
55:54And Samuel, you have a total disregard for being told what to do.
55:59So, Samuel, you're fired.
56:15Dylan, this is a hard-nosed business that we're in.
56:20I'll step it up, Lord.
56:20Yeah.
56:23This goes against all my principles, but it's nice to have nice people in business.
56:29And this very, very last time, I'm going to allow you to stay, OK?
56:36So, both of you go back to the house.
56:39Thank you, Claude.
56:40Bye.
56:40Bye.
56:40Bye.
56:45I'm still struggling to understand the whole boardroom situation.
57:03I've been honest with myself and performed well in tasks.
57:06So, I've done the best I can do and we'll see what happens from here on to bigger and better
57:10things.
57:11It's tense, isn't it?
57:16Was he really angry?
57:17Yeah.
57:18See, innit?
57:19Probably cost more to put you up in a hotel than you actually earned as a team.
57:26Oh!
57:29Samuel!
57:30Samuel!
57:32Whoa!
57:34Well done.
