00:00I'm after workers, not shirkers. Winners, not whingers.
00:05Lord Sugar is on the hunt for a brand new business partner.
00:09Just to make it perfectly clear, make me money and don't piss me off.
00:15Fighting it out for his funding.
00:1916 ambitious entrepreneurs.
00:23This was absolute garbage. You don't know what your bloody world doing.
00:27It was bloody chaos.
00:28Go, go, go, go, go.
00:30It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:32Action.
00:33Listen, listen, let me talk.
00:35Everyone stop there.
00:36Please listen to me.
00:3716 candidates.
00:39Say yes, sir.
00:40If you had a problem with that, you should have raised it.
00:42I did raise it.
00:4312 tough weeks.
00:45If it's an issue, why would you walk off?
00:47Why are you still talking?
00:48One life-changing opportunity.
00:51You're fired. You're fired.
00:53You couldn't give away Prosecco on a hen night.
00:55You're fired.
00:58You're fired.
01:00Previously.
01:02For your next task, you'll be designing a brand new comic.
01:06Help me.
01:07Frank led the boys on a space adventure.
01:09What we've gone with, and I want you all to get behind this, Benji.
01:14But his powers failed him.
01:16What a crap name.
01:17I want you.
01:18As Curran brought Benji to life.
01:20I can go anywhere with my magic telescope.
01:23In the pitch.
01:24Perhaps there wasn't enough diversity.
01:25You know, there's no females at the moment.
01:27David lost the plot.
01:29You don't highlight negative points of your own product.
01:31You're selling it.
01:32You're selling it.
01:33On the other team.
01:34I'm going to control this now.
01:35Khadija gave the girls a lesson on leadership.
01:38It needs to be educational.
01:39Let's go with languages.
01:40But her comic caused a schoolyard scuffle.
01:43Is it lapissing, yes or no?
01:45Then if you're not 100%, I'm not doing it.
01:47Their educational rap got rave reviews.
01:50I can't wait for an adventure.
01:51So lovely.
01:52I think this is sad.
01:53And Jackie sought a gold star in pitching.
01:56We don't want to do this small.
01:58What we'd be looking for is that the first issue stocked in every single one of your locations.
02:03In the boardroom, triumph for the girls meant Frank was nearly erased.
02:10You were a diabolical project manager.
02:13But it was David.
02:14Read out the negative parts of your own product.
02:17Whose story came to an end.
02:19David, you're fired.
02:21He became the second casualty of the boardroom.
02:24Now 14 remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
02:374.30am.
02:42Hello?
02:43Good morning.
02:44Lord Sugar would like to meet you at the house mill in East London.
02:47The cars will be outside in 20 minutes.
02:51Half a mill.
02:52I reckon it's going to be to do with food.
02:53Lord Sugar loves a little bit of sell, sell, sell.
02:54We haven't done one yet.
02:55Task two, we lost it to the girls, man.
02:56I mean, it battered us, really.
02:57Yeah, I feel like there's like a bit of a target on my back now.
02:58So I need to prove myself.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Do you reckon they'll mix us up?
03:01No, I think it'll be girls v boys and I hope it is.
03:02Yeah.
03:03We've got a strong team.
03:04We've got a strong team.
03:05Well, we finally have, like, got our mojo.
03:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:07East London.
03:08Home to the house mill.
03:09Built in 1772.
03:10A river south of the house mill.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Yeah.
03:13I think it'll be girls v boys and I hope it is.
03:15Yeah.
03:16We've got a strong team.
03:17Well, we finally have, like, got our mojo.
03:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:19East London.
03:20Home to the house mill.
03:26Built in 1772.
03:27A riverside remnant of Britain's industrial past.
03:34Home to the House Mill, built in 1772, a riverside remnant of Britain's industrial past.
03:53Good morning. Good morning, Lashaka.
03:56This is the world's largest surviving tidal mill. And in this area, many years ago, there were lots of mills that supplied flour to the bakers of London.
04:11Nowadays, the UK bakery sector is worth a lot of dough. 3.6 billion every year. And it's a market that's open to new trends.
04:21And one of the new trends is fashionable doughnuts. And I want you to take a bite out of that market.
04:29So for this task, you need to create and manufacture your own range of doughnuts. You're then going to sell them to the public tomorrow.
04:38I've also arranged for each team to meet a corporate client who are looking to place a bespoke order for top quality doughnuts.
04:47Now, it's quite simple. The team that makes the most amount of profit will win. And in the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
04:58Now, after one win each, I've decided to mix up the teams. So I'm going to ask Jackie, Sarah, Anne and Jasmine to swap with Coyote, Alex and Daniel.
05:09Everything clear? Yes, sir. Good. Well, good luck. And I'll see you back in the boardroom in a few days' time. Off you go.
05:21Teams have two days to turn a tasty profit from designer doughnuts.
05:25You guys are lucky because out of the boys, you've got the three best ones.
05:28First job for freshly mixed teams, cook up a new identity.
05:32My idea would be imperium. It's actually a Latin word for power. I think it's really important. We need to stay strong, we need to stay powerful for every task that we do.
05:41Personally, I've thought of the name impetus.
05:44Impetus means you have a great force. That sounds like impotent.
05:48I wrote down typhoon. It's fast-paced and we're also going to cause a storm in the boardroom.
05:54So should we have a vote on who thinks we should be called typhoon?
05:57All those in favour, say aye.
05:59Amazing. The one that I would like to put forward is collaborative.
06:05On the other team... Collaborative.
06:07Yeah? We happy with that? Yeah, good with that.
06:10Name agreed. Next, choose a ringleader.
06:13At the end of the day, I deal with the public, I deal with corporate clients.
06:16You know, I'll put people where they want to go, but ultimately make the decision.
06:21I vote for Tom.
06:22I vote for Tom.
06:23I vote for me.
06:24OK, Tom.
06:25Brilliant. PM, thank you.
06:27Downstairs...
06:29I'd put myself as project manager.
06:31...pitching for typhoon's top job, Sabrina.
06:34I think I'd be very, very strong in terms of the creativity.
06:37Right, we need to think about this really strategically.
06:39I make nut milk.
06:41My flavours for my business are what really sells my products.
06:44So I'm really ready to be project manager this week.
06:47I personally think Camilla would be the best person for this task, just based on her business around.
06:53I would agree with that also.
06:54Is Camilla definitely PM? Is that what we're saying?
06:56I would say.
06:56OK, who thinks Camilla?
07:00Next on the menu...
07:01Whoop, whoop!
07:02...decide on a doughnut trend to cash in on.
07:05First thing that's going to attract them is what it looks like.
07:08If we go for a rainbow theme, it's likely that the colours and sprinkles and making it look glossy will make the sales.
07:15At the end of the day, it is about flavours.
07:18If we stuck with, like, really traditional British flavours, like apple crumble, like sticky toffee pudding, like, people go for that.
07:25So I would be more passionate with the British doughnut, personally.
07:29OK, perfect.
07:31I was pushing forward the rainbow theme.
07:33I had a feeling that we'd be able to make it look really sparkly and exciting.
07:37However, that was completely flown over by Camilla and she just went with what she was thinking.
07:41And that was a little bit frustrating.
07:44On the other team...
07:46Maybe just consider sweet and savoury option.
07:49A collaborative approach.
07:51How about everyone else? What does everyone else think?
07:53From tree surgeon Tom.
07:54If we go for the sweet and savoury, I think you can go for more interesting flavours, a more high-end palette.
08:00If everyone wants to go down that route, then I'm happy to go with savoury.
08:06Oh, fine.
08:07So, splitting up into corporate and kitchen.
08:11Initially, on my mind, Jackie, you...
08:13I just feel you should be in the corporate side.
08:15I'm more than happy to do that.
08:16Yeah, but that's what I feel. What do you feel?
08:18I would prefer corporate.
08:20You agree?
08:21Yeah.
08:21OK.
08:22Jasmine, do you feel that you'd be better served
08:24on the cooking side of it?
08:26I think I'll be better off in the kitchen team.
08:28Just before I clarify that,
08:30has anyone got a problem with those teams?
08:34Tom has put himself forward as project manager,
08:37and I think the rules by democracy.
08:38What team do you want to be in?
08:40Are you happy with this?
08:41Is everyone in agreement?
08:42Well, that's all very well and good,
08:44but as a project manager, you need to lead from the front.
08:47He's leading from the back.
08:48In regards to having a sub-team leader,
08:51my first thought is yourself, Jasmine.
08:55Yeah, I'm happy with that.
08:56Just, yeah, we're all good with that.
09:00So, in terms of the team splits,
09:02I obviously want to put myself in the kitchen.
09:04Can I put myself forward as a sub-team leader?
09:06Sabrina, you want to be sub-team leader,
09:08so you're going to go on the corporate side
09:09with Daniel and Alex.
09:11Perfect.
09:11The end goal is to make our doughnuts
09:13ten times nicer than these ones, guys.
09:16Magsy, this one.
09:17Tucking in.
09:18So, you're 100% behind me?
09:20Yeah.
09:20100%.
09:20Sure?
09:21Yep.
09:21Sweet. Let's do this.
09:22Go.
09:2411am.
09:26While half of each team sets off
09:28to develop their high-end doughnuts...
09:30Needs to be aesthetically pleasing, of course.
09:33For me, what makes a doughnut is it's got to look good
09:36to attract my attention in the first place,
09:37and it's just got to be tasty,
09:38because if it's tasty, I'm going to come out for another one.
09:40The rest must secure orders from corporate clients.
09:44Plan for going in with the restaurant, then, guys.
09:46Do we need someone to take the lead is the question.
09:50So, what's it called?
09:51It's called...
09:51Beach Blanket Babylon.
09:53Beach Blanket Babylon.
09:53I'm pretty familiar with them.
09:55I think that we should incorporate its name onto our doughnut.
09:58Absolutely.
09:58Shaping the doughnut as a B.
10:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:00I don't want to promise them B-shaped doughnuts
10:02and we make a bunch of...
10:03Oh, it's so good, though.
10:04I know.
10:05But it's two round doughnuts stuck together.
10:10Central London.
10:12High-end bakers, bread ahead.
10:15I just really want to focus on the British theme.
10:18Designing doughnuts with a traditional twist.
10:21The jam doughnut with some jammy biscuits on top.
10:24Nut milk producer.
10:25Let's put strawberries on as well, just to add a bit of value.
10:28Camilla.
10:29For the ring doughnut, I was thinking something like tea and biscuits.
10:33So, Earl Grey and Custard Cream.
10:35I'm trying to visualise it and I'm not sure how it will look.
10:39I think it's just going to be placed on the doughnut, though, isn't it?
10:42Is it going to be in the doughnut?
10:45I don't think it's just placed on top of the doughnut.
10:47Do you want to cut this open and try it to see what this tastes like?
10:49And think what you wouldn't have on a doughnut.
10:51Yeah.
10:52I like it.
10:56To play to our strengths, it's British.
10:59And that's what I would want.
11:01So, tea and bickies on the ring doughnut.
11:04I said earlier that I did want an artisan doughnut.
11:07And I think we have nailed that, to be honest.
11:09I think it's something really niche and really cool.
11:12And I think that they're going to be really eye-catching
11:13if I have anything to do with it.
11:16On the other team...
11:17So, for our filled doughnuts...
11:19Fixed on a sweet and savoury theme...
11:21We've got the peanut butter, the salted pretzel,
11:24and then the sweet popcorn.
11:26..a push to add heat to their treats.
11:29So, then we go for hot sauce?
11:31Yeah, I think the hot sauce...
11:32I mean, if you do that in the spoon and then kind of drizzle it over
11:35and see what it looks like.
11:37OK.
11:43OK.
11:44I mean, that's interesting.
11:45OK.
11:46I'm just going to make a quick call here.
11:47That's definitely...
11:48Yeah, OK.
11:49Sweet and savoury.
11:50OK.
11:51Sorry.
11:52Woof, that's got a kick.
11:54Jasmine.
11:54Yeah?
11:55The thing with putting hot into it,
11:56we are literally saying people who don't like spice
11:59and can't cope with it, it's like, it's a no-no.
12:01Chocolate and chilli, I think, is a great combination,
12:04and I think that's what we should do with this.
12:07They've decided to use the hot chilli sauce.
12:09Frank tried it, and he couldn't breathe.
12:12If he can't breathe,
12:13why have they chosen it to go on their final product?
12:17It's a mystery.
12:18I just want to get some names out there, OK?
12:21What about, for that one, fire in the hole?
12:23East London, a fashionable cafe bar.
12:31In terms of the doughnuts, we have an espresso martini option.
12:35Taking a shot at a coffee concept.
12:37You'll have the espresso kind of shot going in here
12:40with the chocolate flake.
12:43Sabrina.
12:44Obviously, it's going to look a lot better than it will here.
12:47We could maybe give you guys some coffee to actually use in the doughnuts.
12:50We can certainly think about incorporating that, yeah.
12:53OK. Yeah, no, we can do that.
12:54Do you want to go over some prices?
12:55Excellent. Basically, the standard rate of the doughnut is £5 a doughnut.
12:59Wow. That's for 25 doughnuts.
13:01If you were to take 50, it goes down to £4.50 a doughnut.
13:03£100, it goes down to £4 a doughnut.
13:05I would recommend you taking the £100,
13:08and I can assure you they're going to arrive perfectly and on time.
13:10Are you going to pay for the coffee beans?
13:12I've bought the coffee beans, though.
13:13They're going to be provided for free from you guys.
13:17Could we potentially say that we'll do £110 for the £400,
13:22and you'll be able to supply the coffee beans?
13:24£110 for the £400.
13:25£110, because then imagine all your staff getting so excited.
13:27She's trying to give me more quantity and get the same amount of money.
13:29It's just a good idea.
13:30Thank you. Shall we shake on it?
13:33OK.
13:33Thank you very, very much.
13:35Thank you very much.
13:36Cheers. Thank you very much, guys.
13:37I'm really excited.
13:38Sabrina offered the 10 free doughnuts.
13:41I felt we could have got them to stick at the same quantity,
13:43at the same price.
13:44For us, it's effectively £40,
13:46but it also means that we have to spend extra time in the kitchen
13:48and we've got to work to a tight deadline.
13:50So I don't think she thought about those elements when she offered that.
13:53I think there were smarter ways to go about it.
13:56West London.
13:57Thanks for taking the time to see us today.
14:00No problem.
14:00Pushing for an order from an upmarket bar and restaurant.
14:04Very excited to be here.
14:05We're massive fans of your restaurant group.
14:07Jackie makes the most of her inside knowledge.
14:11I live just north of Shoreditch, so I've been to your new one.
14:14The one in Shoreditch isn't actually new.
14:16Been there for a while.
14:17A year and a half, isn't it?
14:18No, ten years.
14:20In Shoreditch?
14:20Yeah.
14:24Really?
14:25Yeah.
14:29So I'll hand it over to Curran to kind of go through some ideas
14:32that we've brainstormed.
14:33So, yeah, we can, the main intention is to raise awareness of the brand
14:42by creating a really exciting donut.
14:46And I think one of the best ways to do that would be by making the donut
14:52shaped in the letter B.
14:58These are going to look amazing.
14:59We can make the actual donut colour gold.
15:02Sure, why not?
15:03Great.
15:04So did you have a budget in mind?
15:07If we're looking at 50, I'd be thinking four pounds a donut.
15:11We're looking at five pounds a donut.
15:13Five pounds a donut.
15:14OK, as it's custom, we're willing to, you know,
15:17spend a little bit more for you guys to get it perfectly right for us.
15:20Brilliant.
15:21How about if we can do a handshake now at four pounds 65?
15:24Sure.
15:24Lovely.
15:25Thank you very much.
15:27The only area right now where I'm concerned is this B-shaped donut.
15:32We've never made donuts in our lives.
15:34What makes us think we can go and make B-shaped donuts?
15:36We've got a plain ring donut is 30p.
15:43Finalising costs for their donuts.
15:45And the Earl Grey tea is 5p.
15:48Camilla's team.
15:52Hello.
15:53Hi.
15:54We've said that we're going to get them 110 donuts.
15:57In the middle, there's going to be the espresso shot.
16:00And there's also going to be the chocolate cigarillo.
16:03I'm really, really happy with you guys on that one.
16:06Well done.
16:07OK, see you guys soon.
16:08Bye.
16:09According to my calculations, that's 543 pounds 98.
16:15Let's just double check that.
16:16So that's how much we're spending, yeah?
16:18Yeah.
16:19On the other team...
16:20And the sriracha hot sauce?
16:22£60.
16:23Also crunching the numbers, Jasmine.
16:27Hi, Tom. How are you doing?
16:29We're just giving you a quick call with an update.
16:31The maximum orders that she was willing to give was 50.
16:35OK.
16:36And we actually secured 50 orders with her.
16:38OK.
16:39OK, great.
16:41So that's good.
16:42Could you run through the ingredients?
16:44Yeah.
16:44We're going to use the gold food colouring.
16:47OK.
16:48And we will be making them into big Bs, or uppercase Bs,
16:51in terms of the shape of the donut.
16:53All right, thanks.
16:54See you back at base.
16:56See you soon, guys.
16:56OK, so can you just do a brand new total for me, please?
17:00£31.50, which is the corporate total.
17:03Yep.
17:04308, which is the filled total.
17:06Yep.
17:06And 136, which is the ring total.
17:09£4,75.50.
17:11For 600 donuts.
17:12I think we should make a move now, don't you?
17:14Bedtime.
17:15Costs complete.
17:16Come on, guys.
17:17Let's go.
17:17Tomorrow, teams must bulk bake before delivering to corporate clients
17:22and punting to the public.
17:282 a.m.
17:29Morning, campers.
17:31What time is it?
17:33For the candidates, an early rise.
17:39Too early.
17:41I just need to prop my eyelids open with matchsticks.
17:44If we find that we're struggling to make 50 B-shaped donuts,
17:49then we just make rings.
17:50No, no, no, no.
17:51We're going with Bs.
17:51We're 100% going with Bs.
17:55South London.
17:56For both teams.
17:58I think it's back to front of yours.
18:00A lesson in producing the perfect donut.
18:03Put it down on the surface.
18:05Take your hand and turn it around.
18:08Put it in the prover.
18:09It needs to be in the prover for 45 minutes.
18:12We're going to fry the donuts now.
18:14And we want six in there.
18:16Oh, they look golden.
18:194 a.m.
18:21Right, let me just run through the structure, how I think it'll work.
18:24Consulting his co-workers.
18:26What I want to do in the first batch is make some Bs and some other ones.
18:31Project manager Tom.
18:32Everyone's happy with that.
18:33Right, let's get making them and then go from there.
18:36OK, Doe, where are we at?
18:37So, do you want me doing rings or Bs?
18:42I'm thinking...
18:43Yes, rings or Bs?
18:45Shhh!
18:46Are we all doing Bs or are we doing rings?
18:47No, no, I'm doing Bs.
18:48I'm doing the Bs.
18:49No, you stick to doing rings.
18:51Hang on.
18:52I'm just going to work out the time and schedule.
18:56Any input from everyone or shall I make the decision?
18:58I don't think Tommy's a good project manager.
19:00Unless he's got the backing of his crew 100%, he won't make a decision.
19:04You need to take that pressure on your shoulders and lead by example.
19:07We're not being led by example.
19:09Across town...
19:14I want everyone rolling the doughnuts just so that we can really get a mass production
19:19line going.
19:20Managing her manpower.
19:22Coyote, if you keep track of how many we're making, I'm feeding it back.
19:26Nut milk producer Camilla.
19:29Sabrina, I know you're strong on timing, so if you keep an eye on the proofing...
19:33OK.
19:34We've got this, guys.
19:36Sabrina, will you just make sure when you put them in the proofer...
19:39I'm going to be quality controller, guys.
19:47Guys, can I just say really quickly, like, they're looking really inconsistent.
19:51Some of the thin doughnuts are really thin, some of them are really thick.
19:55Just put them in at this point.
19:57We need as many doughnuts as we can get.
19:58And also you put too many in this one because you've just squished these two.
20:02There needs to be six in this one, not nine.
20:04Six in each, not nine.
20:06We can unsquish that one.
20:08I have to just take a breath before I deal with Sabrina.
20:11I've got to get 620 doughnuts out of the kitchen.
20:14I cannot have someone saying, yep, maybe I need, yes, yes, yes.
20:18Everyone's in charge of their own doughnuts.
20:20Coyote, these are still too high.
20:22They need to be flatter.
20:23Oh, my God.
20:24Sabrina, honestly, yeah?
20:25I'm just trying to turn these over, get them out.
20:27On the other team...
20:31Make sure we're getting in a bowl first, yeah?
20:33Responsible for rolling out rings...
20:35Fold it all like a jellyfish.
20:37...marketing man, Frank.
20:40It just doesn't work.
20:41I mean, Frank, I'm happy to pass these for cutting, if you like, if that's easier.
20:45Do you think that you're doing it better than me?
20:47No, no, no, I'm just trying to help.
20:48That's all.
20:48No, I mean, that's the...
20:49Yeah, it's too small, isn't it?
20:50It's too small.
20:51Yeah.
20:51Frank, Frank, let me help you.
20:53Give me that.
20:54No, can you just get on and let me do it?
20:57That's good.
20:57How's everyone else doing with the rings?
20:59Not well, I'd rather switch.
21:01The only person that I'll keep my eye on is Frank.
21:03Sometimes he can get a bit emotional, so I'm just keeping an eye on that,
21:07because I don't want him to build anything up.
21:09Frank, I want you to focus on doing the frying.
21:11Yeah, right.
21:12So if you could do that.
21:12Yeah.
21:17Churning out her corporate order.
21:19Everyone just start dunking donuts in icing now, please.
21:24For Camilla's coffee creations...
21:26I want everyone to start moving over to the design side.
21:29...finishing touches.
21:32They wanted perfection and they wanted to look really slick.
21:36Camilla, are you confident with what it looks like?
21:38It seems a little bit...
21:40Erm...
21:41They're artisan.
21:46Context, all going to be different and handmade.
21:48I wouldn't pay £4 for it.
21:49We just need to get them done.
21:51I think Camilla is responsible for the donuts not looking great.
21:55I wanted to create a classy, chic look.
21:58Instead, you know, I wouldn't buy them
22:00and hopefully somehow we're going to have to persuade our client to buy them.
22:04I don't think they look high quality enough.
22:06I think these look quite good.
22:07I don't want it to look like an eight, though, so it needs to have a straight edge.
22:15With bees falling flat...
22:17I think we should just veto the bees, personally.
22:20Temperatures start to rise.
22:24These aren't proved enough.
22:26They're not cooking correctly.
22:27Why am I wasting time trying to cook things that are under-proved?
22:30How do you know they're not cooking?
22:31Hang on, just...
22:32No, no, no.
22:33How do you know they're not cooking?
22:34I just get the feeling that they are...
22:35You've just got the feeling?
22:36Yeah.
22:37Just do one set with the right timing.
22:39If they don't look right...
22:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:42All right?
22:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:42OK.
22:43I need that tray ASAP.
22:44I need a tray, please.
22:47We've tried to do a load of bees for corporate order yet.
22:50We haven't even started thinking about the fill donuts
22:51and then we're just left with some misshapen rings.
22:54I dread to think what they were going to end up looking like.
22:577.30am for half of Camilla's team...
23:02Try and put some Earl Grey on the top here
23:04because these are the tea and Bickey's ones.
23:07Mm-mm.
23:08British buns nearly done.
23:11At this point, just put British colours onto these donuts
23:14just so that we've got something to sell.
23:16The rest head off...
23:17Ah!
23:17..to get shot of their corporate order.
23:20How are we going to pitch this?
23:21They look awful.
23:22And you were the quality control person?
23:24I can't do it.
23:25I can't... That's the most important job, the quality control.
23:28Then why didn't you speak up when I said
23:29that we needed someone particular to do the quality control?
23:32If you had a problem with that, you should have raised it with...
23:34I did raise it!
23:34I said, for Camilla, we need quality control.
23:37I kept getting shut down.
23:41Across town, finally on a roll...
23:44Three more bees to complete the order.
23:47Tom's 50 corporate bees almost baked.
23:50I just want to say...
23:52I've done the topping for 24 donuts in about three seconds.
23:57Yeah.
23:58Those things have taken up all of our time this morning.
24:01Jasmine, come on.
24:02All right, OK, my team, let's wrap this up.
24:07Oh, that's bloody lovely, that is.
24:10Come on.
24:12Right, the good news is now we can just focus on our nice, easy donuts.
24:16Bees behind them.
24:18Instead of those flipping bees.
24:20A late push on product for the public.
24:23OK, I need eight more balls and two more rings, people.
24:26Sir, yes, sir!
24:28OK, guys, we're so close to having 100 of these.
24:31This is amazing.
24:32Are these good to go, Jasmine?
24:33Yes, go, go, go, go, go!
24:34Let's go, guys, let's get out of here.
24:36Well done, team!
24:38You know, I feel like I have pulled the situation back
24:42from a really desperate state.
24:43We spent about three hours trying to make 50 bee donuts,
24:47and then in the last hour, we've chugged out over 200 donuts,
24:51which is amazing.
24:53East London.
24:55Hello.
24:55How are you doing?
24:56How's it going?
24:56Good to see you.
24:57Final destination.
24:59Here we have your espresso donuts.
25:01For 110 coffee-inspired creations.
25:05There's artisan, and then there's old made it in my kitchen at home.
25:08What happened to that one?
25:11It's a bit flat.
25:12Did we forget to ice this one?
25:14We didn't want to over-top it with icing,
25:16so we could kind of clearly see the donut underneath in the glaze.
25:19Come on, who are you trying to kid?
25:20We were told they were going to be an absolute premium donut.
25:23There's just too much inconsistency, like...
25:26I know there's inconsistencies,
25:27but the inconsistencies are generally consistent.
25:31Look, guys, look, I can't pay full price for a subpar product.
25:34In circumstances like this,
25:35I'd be happy to cover your costs at 50%.
25:37We actually have quite high manufacturing costs,
25:39and we haven't really got a 50% margin.
25:41I mean, we could come slightly lower,
25:43probably around about the 280 mark to break even.
25:45Is it OK if we could agree on a deal for that?
25:47OK.
25:47Great day, chaps. Cheers.
25:49Thanks, guys.
25:50Things went really quite badly
25:52in terms of achieving the £400 mark,
25:54which is what they hoped for.
25:56After a bit of discussion,
25:57the guy agreed to settle at £280,
25:59and I believe this team were very, very lucky.
26:03West London.
26:04It's a good morning.
26:06Just going to pop these on here.
26:08Trying to create a buzz over sweet and savoury bees...
26:11We're really happy how they turned out.
26:13Tom's team.
26:14So we managed to do the bees.
26:17It ish.
26:20I mean, some of them look a lot more like eights than bees.
26:23Yeah.
26:25Did you want to have a try of one?
26:26Absolutely.
26:27Have you guys tried them?
26:28Yes, we have.
26:29What do you think?
26:30Pretty spectacular, to be honest.
26:31They were delicious.
26:38You're not allowed to lick your lips.
26:41Yeah, it's quite salty.
26:43To be honest, I can't give quite a few of these
26:46to our customers.
26:48So I think, really,
26:49I'm only happy paying for a third of them,
26:51which would be £77.50.
26:53OK.
26:54No, that's fine.
26:55No worries at all.
26:56I will pick the ones that I want,
26:57and I will round that up to 80.
27:00OK, brilliant.
27:02That pitch went terribly.
27:04She hated our bees,
27:06and Shelly took a third,
27:07which isn't a great result,
27:08quite honestly,
27:09for a bespoke design donut.
27:11That is going to be more challenging to resell.
27:15Whoo!
27:16Right, let's give the others a call.
27:20Yo, just a lowdown from our point of view.
27:23It didn't go as we planned.
27:25We basically got a third of them sold.
27:28All you've done is sold 17 of the bees.
27:31We tried.
27:31But she was quite adamant.
27:33OK, thank you.
27:34Bye.
27:34Thanks, guys.
27:35Bye.
27:36In a nutshell, right,
27:37we've wasted a load of hours creating 50 bees.
27:41On the promise of it being £4.65,
27:45and the shift is 17.
27:49Waterloo.
27:50Pricing-wise, one for £4.50.
27:53Setting up shop.
27:55And if you're selling four,
27:56it's four for £16.
27:58Sounds like a plan.
27:59Camilla and the rest of her team.
28:02Yoo-hoo!
28:03Sabrina!
28:04How are you?
28:05Good, thank you.
28:06So, first of all,
28:07we got £280 for the donuts.
28:10Oh, good job.
28:12Amazing.
28:12How much was it meant to be?
28:13So, how much were you supposed to get?
28:15We were meant to get a £400.
28:17OK, so what did you do with the rest of the donuts
28:19that they didn't take?
28:21They've taken all of the donuts for £280.
28:26Oh...
28:27What was that, sorry?
28:28How much was that?
28:28£280 divided by...
28:30So, what's that per donut?
28:32Per donut?
28:33Right now, we're not sure.
28:34OK, thank you, guys.
28:35Thanks for making that go.
28:37Bye.
28:38I was definitely disappointed with the sub team
28:41because, ultimately, they came away
28:42with giving up the full amount of donuts
28:44for nearly half of the money.
28:46So, I was really disappointed in that, to be honest.
28:50Would you like a donut, please?
28:52Midday.
28:53People of South London!
28:55Jasmine's sales squad spice things up.
28:58We've got beautiful flavours to entice your taste buds.
29:02Sweet Spot, set at £3.50.
29:04This one is the chilli and chocolate.
29:08Currently do them at £3 each,
29:09or if you're fancy four, it'll be a tenner.
29:12So, they should be £3.50 each, two for £6,
29:15but I said I'll do you two for a fiver.
29:17They're £3.50 for one.
29:19So, we want £10.
29:20That would come to £35.
29:22Obviously, I'm not going to charge you £35.
29:23No, you're not good.
29:23Should we say £23?
29:24No, we'll say £22.
29:27£22.
29:27£22.
29:28These guys have come to the market.
29:30They've certainly got the energy.
29:31They're certainly drumming up the sales.
29:33I'm not quite sure how much profit they're making,
29:36and they certainly don't know,
29:37because each of them is charging a different price.
29:39That's £18 today.
29:41Lovely.
29:44Back in Waterloo...
29:46I've got some delicious jam-rolling bolly doughnuts.
29:49Well, they look really funny.
29:51Best of British proving a hard sell.
29:54To be honest, they don't look very appetising.
29:57I'm sorry.
29:59On the other half of the team...
30:00We're selling them at £4.50 each.
30:03A tasty strategy from Sabrina.
30:07They do taste really nice.
30:08Guys, do you want to have a little taste of the jam one?
30:11Mmm, I tried the old grey one.
30:12You know what, that is good.
30:14It tastes the best for you to eat.
30:15They're really good.
30:17Thank you so much.
30:19Have one to take one.
30:21Thank you very much.
30:22All right, thank you.
30:23I'll just give one.
30:25There we go, that's for you.
30:26The doughnuts were an absolute disaster.
30:29I think they look completely shocking.
30:31So I'm really glad we got a sale.
30:33I feel going forward, you know what, I'm going to set the tone.
30:35We win as a team and we do not go into that boardroom.
30:39Guys, well done.
30:39Well done, guys.
30:40You smashed it in there.
30:41Got a lot of sales there, guys.
30:42Right, next place.
30:43Let's go.
30:43West London.
30:47I hope you like doughnuts.
30:48Plan for Tom's team.
30:50I won't shake your hand because I've got sticky hands.
30:52Shift their sweet and savoury surplus to office workers.
30:56This one's a toffee golden glaze on the top, salted.
30:59Really nice, my personal favourite.
31:01Five pounds each.
31:03Thanks so much.
31:03Have a nice day.
31:05Yeah, this is the naughty but spice, so it's got a little bit kick to it.
31:08It's a lovely life-changing doughnut.
31:10I think it will.
31:15What did you put in it, man?
31:17It's hot sauce.
31:18You put hot sauce in a doughnut?
31:20Just a little drizzle on top.
31:23I'm a bit disappointed that Jasmine went with the chilli choice.
31:26I think that she could have come up with something more people would like.
31:29It was only down to our sales skills that we actually managed to proceed and make them.
31:33Should we head to the next location?
31:35Yep, I think we should go.
31:382pm.
31:41Lunchtime trade languishing.
31:43Madam, would you like a doughnut?
31:44Come and get your doughnuts before we leave.
31:46A debate on where to sell next.
31:50So are we saying Shepherd's Bush or Canary Wharf?
31:52Although I live in London, I do not know that Shepherd's Bush area well.
31:55I only know Canary Wharf because I've worked around there and I know that.
31:59Do you think there's going to be more foot traffic in Canary Wharf than there will be in Shepherd's Bush?
32:03I think there'll be more people because it is...
32:06Do you know what I mean? It's a bit business district.
32:08I'm not sure because I think it's going to take too long to get there and we're going to miss the peak time.
32:11If we go to Shepherd's Bush, it's closer.
32:14Okay, let's just go with it because we're wasting time.
32:18Across town...
32:19Could I possibly interest you in putting a brand spanking doughnut hot out of the oven?
32:24Pulling in the punters...
32:25All right then, ma'am. So that's $4.50, yeah? I'm also going to give you a serviette just in case you're like me and make a mess, okay?
32:30Professional speaker Coyote.
32:33So you see that's $4.50 there for you, yeah? Do you want to enter your pin, please, sir?
32:35Yeah.
32:36Whereabouts are you from?
32:37From Germany.
32:38Oh, sprechen Sie Deutsch?
32:39Ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen.
32:41Wie geht's?
32:43Sehr gut, sehr gut.
32:43Sehr gut.
32:44Und du? Ich bin sehr gut auch.
32:48Coyote is a marvel, really.
32:49I think he's got a personality that is fairly unique and the way he approaches customers, he's great.
32:54I've got to be honest with you, they don't exactly look so...
32:56Hey, it's not about the look, it's about the taste.
33:00I don't think it's because of product quality, it's just the salesmanship, the excitement about selling the product.
33:06I've got three doughnuts left and guess how many of you there are?
33:08Oh, she wins the maths competition, high five or low five, even better.
33:13Done.
33:163pm.
33:17Who would like a doughnut today?
33:19Looking to take a bite out of a new market.
33:22We will sell these, one for £3, four for a tenner.
33:26Jasmine's sweet and savoury selection.
33:28Just looking around, I think £3 is far too expensive.
33:31Okay.
33:32Have we had a look at our doughnuts?
33:34You're not interested in knock anybody that's got a sweetie?
33:37Go on, go and have a look at them.
33:38Go on, have a look at them.
33:40Guys, come here, don't walk away from me.
33:44I'll do you six, four, 15 quid.
33:48Come on.
33:4815 quid?
33:49Go, please.
33:51I've spoken to everybody on the green, as has Rick, probably three times.
33:55Yeah, we're going to have to drop our prices now.
33:57Yeah.
33:57Pound a doughnut.
33:58Let's do a pound a doughnut, let's just try and get rid of them.
34:01One hour till trading ends.
34:03What do you reckon?
34:04Angel.
34:05I'm kidding you agree, so we'll go for Angel.
34:07Let's go.
34:07For both teams.
34:09Right, let's get in there, see what we can do.
34:10A final push to do doughnut deals.
34:13Come and get your doughnuts.
34:15Four for ten.
34:16Pound it or not.
34:17Donuts, people, they must go today.
34:21I heard a music to my ears.
34:24Right now, I can offer you 95.
34:26Yeah.
34:26Deal.
34:27All three boxes.
34:2992.50.
34:29Perfect.
34:30Thank you very much.
34:31Guys, that's it, we're out of time.
34:33That's it.
34:35Guys.
34:36We did it.
34:38Yay!
34:41I really have no idea if we won today.
34:44We don't know how many sales the market team have.
34:46I really hope we've won tomorrow.
34:49I do not want to be in that boardroom.
34:51We had a great morning.
34:53I mean, unfortunately, we've come to the wrong place,
34:54but you know what, I think we've done well.
34:56You know, our problems really began in that corporate pitch
34:59where we over-promised on something
35:01that we didn't know if we could deliver.
35:02We spent 75% of our time trying to fulfil that order.
35:06I'm going to be super disappointed
35:08if all of that hard effort was for absolutely nothing.
35:11Right.
35:13Come on.
35:13Tonight, profits digested.
35:18Tomorrow, for one team,
35:21the sweet taste of victory.
35:23You can all go through to the boardroom now.
35:34What happened to you?
35:55Erm, I fractured a bone in my arm
35:59last night at the house, unfortunately.
36:02How did you do that, then?
36:03We were having a sort of arm wrestling...
36:05Oh, arm wrestling.
36:06Arm wrestling.
36:07Yeah.
36:08I thought actors were supposed to break a leg.
36:11Yeah, not in my case.
36:13You finally got into a cast, anyway.
36:16LAUGHTER
36:16Got your big break.
36:19LAUGHTER
36:19And from what I heard,
36:22you've appeared in Casualty, also.
36:24Right.
36:26So this task was all about
36:28making these high-quality doughnuts
36:31that people will pay quite a lot of money for, OK?
36:33And that was what this task was all about, yeah?
36:36So, who wants to talk to me first?
36:38Don't mind.
36:40Yeah?
36:40Yeah.
36:41OK.
36:41What's the name of your team?
36:44Collaborative.
36:45Well, you didn't even know yourself, did you?
36:47I was mainly focused on the task.
36:48Collaborative.
36:49Sounds like a kibbutz, Claude.
36:51And you're sitting there, so you're the project manager.
36:55Yes.
36:56It's all about logistics, making a process,
36:59sticking to timelines and trying to bring people together,
37:02which is what I do in my career,
37:04so I thought I'd be quite a strong leader in this.
37:06Your main business is tree surgery?
37:08Yes.
37:08In a way, I get rid of the dead wood in this boardroom, also,
37:11as you know.
37:12Yeah.
37:12OK.
37:13So, just tell me how we kicked off, then.
37:15Yeah.
37:16We all had a brainstorm as to the style of doughnuts
37:18that we wanted to do.
37:20Mm-hm.
37:20We came to the conclusion of going for sweet and savoury.
37:23So, what was your flavour in the end?
37:24What did you end up with?
37:27Jasmine, do you want to talk about them?
37:28It was your team that kind of got them together.
37:30So, our first doughnut was the filled doughnut.
37:33That's that one, is it?
37:34That's right.
37:34So, that tastes of what?
37:36It will taste of...
37:37Bit salty.
37:38Bit salty.
37:39Caramelly.
37:40Yes.
37:40There's peanut butter inside, there's a savoury pretzel and a sweet popcorn.
37:45What's in that one, then?
37:46It's chocolate and chilli.
37:48Initially, the ratios were totally off, so we tried to...
37:51I quite like spicy stuff, so I think I put a bit too much on,
37:54and then we tried to kind of get something that was palatable.
37:57Adventurous, then, wasn't it, really?
37:59So, take me on to the next step.
38:02Yeah, so me, Jackie and Curran went to a corporate client.
38:07I thought, Jackie, did you not say to her,
38:10love your restaurant, love your place, love your new one in Shoreditch?
38:13Yep.
38:14To which the woman said, no, we've been there for ten years.
38:17Yeah.
38:18Yeah.
38:18So, they started off on the wrong spot.
38:20Started off terribly, yeah.
38:21Yeah, it was a little bit unfortunate,
38:23but ultimately, we came up with a product she did like,
38:26and we got the order of 50.
38:28So, what is it, then?
38:28A bee that looks like an eight?
38:30The one thing about that, I do still really believe that
38:33what made that donut bespoke was the bee.
38:35It didn't turn out very well.
38:37OK.
38:37Now, if you go back to the kitchen the next day, day two,
38:41and you start making them, is that right?
38:42I don't know much about cooking,
38:44but I know to place people in good positions
38:46and have a good system on the go.
38:48And, Lord Sugar, I'd just like to say that we had four hours in the kitchen.
38:51In three hours of the four, we focused our time on really making those corporate bees.
38:57It took up a lot of time.
38:58Yeah.
38:58It didn't take up three hours.
39:00And when the corporate team left, we upped the game,
39:03and we made the majority of donuts in the one hour.
39:04No, we made every single one before we left.
39:07We didn't beat you to the top ones.
39:08Frank was frying.
39:09I fried every single one of those donuts.
39:11We made them as in, put them in the oven.
39:12We made some additional ones.
39:13No, they made about another 50.
39:14Oh, you made an additional 50.
39:15Yeah.
39:16OK, fair enough, sorry.
39:17You got a bit upset, didn't you, Frank, in the kitchen?
39:20No, I didn't.
39:20No, OK.
39:21I definitely didn't.
39:21I was just feeling very hot because I did all of the frying.
39:24I think I fried every single one of those donuts.
39:26OK.
39:27Anyway, you go back to the corporate customer.
39:30What happens there?
39:31She wasn't too happy with the shape of the bees,
39:33so she only went with 17.
39:35So that was a bit of a hit.
39:39What did you do with the rest?
39:40Flogged them.
39:42Flogged them?
39:42Yeah.
39:42We sold all of them, yeah.
39:44Hmm.
39:45Right, OK.
39:46Tell me about the team that went out selling in the marketplace.
39:49What was the price you were selling your donuts for?
39:52I set their price at £3.50 for one.
39:55Right, OK.
39:56Jasmine, you sold 10 for £22.
39:59That's right.
40:00That's £2.20 each.
40:01It was a bulk order from a lady who was only going to buy one,
40:05so I said, well, would you like to take 10 from us
40:08and did her a deal for buying 10 instead of one?
40:12And I felt that that was justified in that moment.
40:15All right, let's go and talk to this team here now.
40:18First thing you did, you came up with a team name, Typhoon.
40:21Is that right?
40:22That's correct.
40:23You think it sounds quite cool and hip, do you, all you lot?
40:28I mean, we did come up with a lot of other suggestions.
40:30It just came up with...
40:31It worked for Stormzy, didn't it?
40:33Tell me how you became the project manager.
40:36I put myself forward as project manager.
40:38However, as Camilla does have a background in food manufacturing,
40:42I gave her the opportunity and, you know, voted for her along with the team.
40:46So that's how you became the project manager, yeah?
40:48That's correct.
40:49I thought it was only fair that Sabrina got the chance to be sub-team leader
40:52and I was happy with that decision.
40:54Right, so what theme did you go for?
40:57British.
40:57And that's supposed to be British, yeah?
40:59Yes.
41:00But there is Earl Grey sprinkled on the top,
41:02which gives it that English kind of flavour towards it.
41:04What, raw tea?
41:05You didn't make tea and infuse it into the product?
41:08No, you see, now what happened was that,
41:09because they were saying, like, let's put Earl Grey in it,
41:11and I was like, you sure you just want to balance the teabag on the doughnut?
41:14Who in their right mind was going to put a teabag on top of a doughnut?
41:17That was me.
41:18That's what I said to them.
41:19That's what I said to them.
41:20I was having a blonde moment, sorry.
41:23Your corporate team, tell me what happened.
41:26So we had kind of a coffee cocktail bar.
41:28They ordered 100 doughnuts of us.
41:30They wanted to personalise it with their own coffee beans.
41:32Right.
41:33There was kind of negotiation.
41:34They wanted to drop the price.
41:35Rather than dropping the price,
41:37it said that we'd give them an additional 10 doughnuts.
41:39We gave them an extra 10 doughnuts
41:42in compensation for the coffee beans.
41:44In my calculation, that's 40 quid for a pot of coffee.
41:48I'm at a loss.
41:49For what reason?
41:49I couldn't answer that.
41:51Right, OK, so then in the kitchen on day two,
41:56you start making these things here.
41:58So how's the production run?
41:59I think from the start, I did want to have clear rolls for everyone.
42:03I felt like I had so much responsibility,
42:05which, you know, I did take on.
42:06But you took the responsibility from Coyote.
42:09He was going to do the counting of the doughnuts
42:11and you took it off him.
42:13I felt like I was completely overburdened
42:15with so many different rolls of responsibilities.
42:17I think there was a lot of time spent talking
42:18that could have just been spent doing.
42:20Right.
42:21The corporate team, you went back to the customer.
42:25What did they say when they saw these?
42:27As you can see, they're quite terrible.
42:29We were close to losing the deal.
42:30I stepped in, I was able to secure 280
42:32and they took the 100 doughnuts off of us.
42:34Nice people.
42:35Very nice person.
42:36Very nice people.
42:37I would have thrown you out.
42:38Yeah.
42:39Huh.
42:41Is you on this team?
42:42Yeah.
42:42OK, yeah, good.
42:44What about you lot, then?
42:45We've worked really well as a team.
42:47There was great energy.
42:48I heard, Coyote, you turned out to be quite a good salesman,
42:51according to Claude.
42:52Thank you, I appreciate that.
42:53Very good.
42:54OK, well, let's get down to some numbers, then.
42:56So, Karen, tell me about your team.
42:58Well, Collaborative spent £469.56 on ingredients.
43:02Their total sales were £537.64,
43:08giving them a total profit of £68.08.
43:13Right.
43:13Claude?
43:14So, Typhoon's results,
43:16they had a total spend of £543.98.
43:20Mm-hm.
43:20Their total sales were £765.002,
43:24making a total profit of £221.04.
43:30Very good.
43:32£68 for all that work.
43:35Anyway, you've run rings around London,
43:38so I'm sending you to the Queen's skating ring,
43:41where you'll be icing another surface
43:44in a game of human curling.
43:46So, well done,
43:47and I'll see you all on the next task.
43:50OK.
43:50Thank you very much.
44:04I'll give you my call on this.
44:06That looks like a pile of rubbish,
44:08an absolute pile of garbage, right?
44:11And these, they look much better.
44:14Much, much better.
44:15So, I can only assume,
44:17it must be the flavouring,
44:19that the people didn't like the taste of them,
44:21but the sows,
44:23clearly,
44:25let you down.
44:26You'll go off now,
44:27and have a chat amongst yourselves,
44:29and you'll come back in here shortly,
44:31where at least one of you will be fired.
44:34OK?
44:35Off you go.
44:35Oh, I'm nervous.
44:45Because you're racing me,
44:46literally on cloud nine right now.
44:49May the best blonde win.
44:50I think with Sabrina,
44:53she does miss the sound of her own voice sometimes,
44:55which you've just got to sometimes just drown it out,
44:59and I did manage to control it towards the end.
45:01I was just like,
45:02ugh, Sabrina,
45:03just give it a rest.
45:05Nailed it.
45:06I wasn't 100% happy with Camilla's leadership style.
45:10I felt like I was a scapegoat.
45:12So, if anything went wrong,
45:13of course, it would be my fault.
45:15Come on!
45:16Daniel, there's only one donut bigger than this,
45:17and it's you.
45:18Alex, you're going down, bro.
45:19Oh!
45:21I think I did really well.
45:22I smashed it for the team.
45:24Ultimately, the sales I got made the win.
45:26Woo!
45:27Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo!
45:28There's no speculation as to why we lost flavors in sales.
45:40Who came up with the chili chocolate?
45:41It's a really simple question.
45:42Yeah, okay.
45:43I was the one who made the executive decision.
45:44Right, that's fine.
45:45Let's move on.
45:45Done.
45:46Jasmine's to blame for the failure of this task.
45:48Every decision she makes is always the wrong decision.
45:52The client brought 17 donuts,
45:54and I don't think you can ignore that point.
45:56Because of the cooking skills,
45:57Frank didn't do too well, to be honest with you.
46:00In the kitchen, he was getting a bit emotional.
46:02He needed to keep a level head.
46:04He didn't do that.
46:05I think Jackie is responsible
46:06because you promised a V-shape.
46:08That held us up in production,
46:09and I'd have to say Jasmine,
46:10only in the sense that you did say
46:12to go to Shepherd's Bush,
46:13and it was rubbish.
46:15I am not surprised at all
46:17that I'm being scapegoated
46:18for the failure of this task.
46:20The only way that I'm not going to be taken into the boardroom
46:23is if Tom asks us for a vote
46:26on who he should take,
46:27because that's how he made every single decision on this task.
46:39Yes, Lord Sugar?
46:40Could you send the candidates in case?
46:42Now, common sense would say
46:57that a doughnut is supposed to be a treat.
47:01Who formulated the fact that it had chilli in it?
47:04Jasmine.
47:04Chocolate and chilli as a flavour works really well
47:07when you have an absolute hint of that chilli,
47:09but the overriding flavour is chocolate.
47:11The reason why we ended up with a doughnut
47:13that people wanted to spit out
47:14is because the way that that chilli was applied
47:17during a frantic manufacturing process
47:20was not controlled.
47:21I set out a system where everyone played to their strengths.
47:25No-one said it was frantic at the time.
47:27The only person that got a bit emotional was Frank.
47:30Everyone stayed...
47:30Emotional?
47:31What do you mean emotional?
47:32Was that the chilli making you cry or what?
47:34No, it wasn't.
47:35You were the only person I had to go over to three times
47:39to reassure, even though the only task you had
47:42was to flip over doughnuts.
47:43It's OK, Tom.
47:44You had no responsibility.
47:44I wasn't panicking at all.
47:46Was I panicking?
47:46I think I just wanted us to get as many doughnuts as possible.
47:50And we did that.
47:51When there was problems that came up,
47:52I jumped in, I found solutions,
47:54I let everyone have a voice in that opinion
47:56and everyone agreed with me.
47:58What was your voice, Tom?
47:58No, let me finish.
47:59We did that.
48:00Your voice was all hands on bees.
48:02When there was problems that came up,
48:04yes, we made the bees that didn't work as well.
48:06We went to do the bees.
48:07That thing took up a lot of time.
48:08It took an hour and a half.
48:09Jackie's good at pitching,
48:10but delivering what she's pitched
48:12was a completely different story,
48:13so she made up this doughnut,
48:15which was not actually possible for us to create.
48:18I still stand by the bee,
48:19because I still sit here and say that without that bee,
48:22it's not a tailored doughnut.
48:24But it's not...
48:26It doesn't look great.
48:27Anyway, the market team goes out there
48:31and then there was an idea of going to Canary Wharf, right?
48:34I said that we should go to Canary Wharf
48:36because we've got a chance of selling the higher price.
48:38Well, why do we have got to Canary Wharf then?
48:39I don't know, because Jasmine said no.
48:41Jasmine said, no, Sarah, please.
48:43Jasmine overruled me or not.
48:45Hang on, let's air it.
48:46The discussion...
48:46If you know the area, you need to tell her.
48:48I did.
48:48If we're going to pin...
48:49Lord Sugar, I think that Jasmine's a sub-team leader
48:52had to lead the sub-team in sales more effectively.
48:54Corinne, you don't know this,
48:55but I actually showed leadership skills
48:57and actually made decisions,
48:58and I will stand here by them,
48:59but it's more than what Tom did.
49:00He actually made no decision.
49:01No, not at all.
49:02There was no strategy.
49:03My entire sub-team would stand behind me
49:05and say that I led them in...
49:07Let me respond.
49:08You made the incorrect decision
49:09of picking a bad product,
49:11which we sold out of and you didn't.
49:13And you were leading that team.
49:14In the manufacturing side,
49:15you didn't lead an effective kitchen.
49:17That's because...
49:17And in the profit side,
49:18if you had sold your corporate order,
49:20we would have one more start.
49:21You could have stopped to your prices.
49:23You could have also stopped to your prices
49:24and you didn't do that either.
49:25Yeah, but if we had...
49:27I'm assuming we spent too much time in the kitchen.
49:29Yeah.
49:29No, this is about selling.
49:31No, no, no.
49:31I'm assuming we spent more time in the kitchen
49:33than less time selling.
49:35We had to make donuts.
49:35You didn't have hot hair.
49:36You had 100 donuts left over.
49:38So, the reason that we lost the task...
49:41Collaborative is the name of your group.
49:42You're about as collaborative as nitro and glycerine.
49:46I look like I'm looking at seven bloody donuts at the moment.
49:49Tom.
49:50Yeah?
49:50Which two people are you bringing back into the boardroom?
49:55I think I've got to base it on two bits of logic.
49:58One, there was a poor decision on a product
50:01that it was hard to sell
50:02and ultimately that affected the sales.
50:05So, it's going to have to be Jasmine.
50:08And also, the person who contributed the least
50:11didn't stay level-headed.
50:13Unfortunately, it's going to have to be Frank.
50:15OK, well, look, you three remain here
50:20and the rest of you go back to the house.
50:35I'm going to have a word with Karen and Claude.
50:38At least one of you is going to be leaving the process today.
50:41Off you go.
50:45So, Tom, the project manager,
50:51Karen, you're not too impressed with him, are you?
50:53On this task, he didn't really lead from the front.
50:56He was very concerned that everybody was happy
50:58and doing something that they were enjoying
51:00and giving him positive feedback.
51:02He was more project-coordinated than project manager.
51:05Now, as far as Jasmine is concerned,
51:07she does have to take responsibility for the hot chilli sauce.
51:11She was in charge of the flavour of the product once it was chosen.
51:15She's incredibly articulate,
51:17but I haven't actually seen her do anything particularly great.
51:22Frank looks like a rabbit in the headlights.
51:25The facts speak for themselves.
51:27He did do the frying, but he didn't do very much else.
51:33Yes, Lord Sugar?
51:34Can you send the three of them in, please?
51:50Second time for you in the bottom three
51:52and second time for you in the bottom three, yeah?
51:55And we've only done three tasks.
51:57Two out of three.
51:58Yeah, don't tell me I'm so disappointed and furious.
52:03Frank was the one that didn't contribute ideas.
52:06He did draw me away from being productive
52:08and that was the reason why I brought him in it.
52:10Everyone else weighed in more.
52:12When did I get you over to help with the frying?
52:15No, to help with you because you were losing it.
52:17What do you make of these allegations, Frank?
52:19I think they're absolutely ridiculous.
52:21I will admit there might have been a time where I might have snapped,
52:23but I was in front of the four fryers
52:25and they're all going to maximum capacity
52:27and I wanted to make sure we got as many as possible.
52:29You had to turn doughnuts, Frank.
52:30You have to put them all in.
52:32You have to make sure that they're turning.
52:33It was a constant workflow.
52:35I did not take my eye off the ball.
52:37And now you're saying I didn't contribute enough to the task.
52:39What else could I have done?
52:40And I didn't say you didn't contribute.
52:42What else would you have liked me to do?
52:43I said that you weren't weighing in as much as other people.
52:45Jasmine, please, can you just...
52:47OK, Frank doesn't work well under pressure.
52:50I think that's what we're getting at here.
52:51It's not... That's not fair.
52:52That's not fair. I did work well under pressure.
52:54I produced all of the doughnuts.
52:56My only decisions that I make, from my point of view, are logical.
53:00You leave emotion out of it.
53:01I want to ask you something, Tom.
53:02In your business, you ask all of your 15 people,
53:06let's sit down and have a vote whether we should drop that tree down.
53:09I make the decision, like I did in this task,
53:12but I include people along the way.
53:13Every single decision that Tom needed to make,
53:16it had to be on a vote.
53:18The thing with Tom is...
53:19It didn't have to be on a vote.
53:20I made a decision, but I wanted input,
53:22because I wanted people to have an input.
53:24It's a team.
53:25OK, can I just answer the question?
53:26But I did make the decision.
53:27Can I just answer the question?
53:28So, Tom's ideas are not his own.
53:32He doesn't actually come up with any of those ideas.
53:34And if some...
53:34What you're actually looking for, Lord Sugar,
53:36is somebody who doesn't have a backbone
53:38and is just a coordinator,
53:40and is actually going to step back from everything
53:41and say, well, how does everybody else feel about this?
53:44Right, are you sure you feel this way?
53:45Jasmine...
53:45Then we'll make the decision.
53:46Jasmine, you're fabricating what you want to portray.
53:49I'm not fabricating.
53:51What I'm saying is that I was left to pick up the pieces.
53:54I was told that consumers,
53:58some of them asked what it is,
53:59and they didn't even want to buy one.
54:01When you mentioned the word chilli,
54:03they just said, no thanks, I don't want any.
54:06You know, at the end of the day,
54:08I'm sorry, Jasmine, I keep referring to you,
54:10but you have made poor decisions,
54:12and this was a poor decision.
54:14Tom, can I just ask you,
54:15why didn't you taste the doughnuts?
54:17I did.
54:17Then you can't pin that decision on me
54:18if you tasted it and you didn't say anything.
54:21After you'd ordered everything,
54:22after we were down the line.
54:23But we could have changed the ratios.
54:25We've been saying that all along.
54:26We could have had less chilli on there.
54:27I've come in and I've pulled off a pitch
54:29that Jackie was losing.
54:31I turned it around and I still got the orders.
54:33So why didn't you bring her back in there?
54:35Yeah, why didn't you bring her back in?
54:36Because she didn't make any major decisions
54:39that were detrimental and limited the margins.
54:41At least I made decisions, Tom.
54:43You didn't actually make any decisions at all?
54:44No, I did too.
54:45I may have got to be passionate,
54:47and I'm a passionate person,
54:48and I'm sorry if it comes across snappy,
54:50but you're saying I didn't contribute anything
54:51to this task.
54:52I didn't say I didn't contribute anything.
54:53Frank, I didn't say you didn't contribute anything.
54:55But you thought I contributed the least.
54:57All right, I'm going to summarise here, OK?
55:02Tom, you made a big mistake
55:04being the project manager.
55:06This task was not meant for you.
55:08Can I talk or not?
55:09Pardon?
55:10Sorry, I said can I talk or not.
55:12No.
55:12OK.
55:13Frank, under pressure,
55:16you become a bit snappy, a bit emotional.
55:19You need to be a bit more level-headed.
55:21It certainly wasn't the case.
55:22I promised Lord Sugar I was not.
55:24I did not.
55:25Jasmine, chocolate and chilli, big mistake.
55:29Tasted disgusting, not easy to sell.
55:33But, Tom, you did everything by a vote.
55:37You let people over-promise, under-deliver.
55:41You made a big mistake.
55:45But, Frank, your PM doesn't think you did anything.
55:51I mean, he narrowly escaped last week.
55:53And that's why I wanted to put myself in a position where I could do a job and get on with it.
55:57Frank, I have to assess who I think could be my potential business partner.
56:03Frank, you're fired.
56:05Thank you for the opportunity.
56:07You've had a big wake-up call.
56:21Yeah.
56:22OK, because you don't know what you're bloody well doing in this task.
56:25Yeah.
56:25But you need to show me that you can take it to another level.
56:28OK, I will, I promise.
56:30And, Jasmine, I don't want to see any more mistakes from you.
56:34OK, off you go.
56:35Thank you, Lord Sugar.
56:45I'm absolutely devastated.
56:57Tom knew full well that the reason that we failed this task was because of his piss-poor leadership.
57:02But this is just the beginning for me.
57:06I personally think Tom's probably going to go because he's not shown his leadership skills.
57:11I wouldn't be surprised if it can be a double whammy this week.
57:16They've all now been PMs and loss.
57:18And out of the three of them, I generally don't know which two it will be.
57:22Yeah!
57:26Yes!
57:28Yes!
57:30Have a seat, have a seat, have a seat.
57:33So why was it Frank?
57:34It was so bad, mate.
57:36Literally.
57:36He's emotional, isn't it?
57:38Yeah, it was horrible.
57:39Did you think you were gone?
57:40Oh, yeah.
57:41Well, you're here now, guys.
57:43Onwards and upwards.
57:47Now, 13 candidates remain.
57:51Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner continues.
57:58Next time...
57:59I want you to sell at one of the world's largest bodybuilding expos.
58:05Are you interested in a dry sauna?
58:07Weak technique...
58:08It's moisture-free apart from your own sweat.
58:10You haven't done this before, haven't you?
58:11Don't worry.
58:13Fab.
58:14Go!
58:14Tough decisions.
58:16Alex, could you go over to the other team?
58:18She's such an idiot.
58:19And in the boardroom...
58:21How can you say you was in the wrong place at the wrong time?
58:24A-shredding.
58:25You just don't get it.
58:26You're fired.
