00:01I've had them all in here. Chancers, posers, brown nosers.
00:06Lord Sugar is on the hunt for a brand new business partner.
00:09Never, ever underestimate me.
00:13Fighting it out for his funding, 16 ambitious entrepreneurs.
00:18I'm not impressed at all.
00:20You know, I can chuck the whole bloody lot of you out if I want to.
00:23Let's go, let's go, let's go!
00:24It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:26I've never seen a pair of boys like that.
00:28Action!
00:30Service!
00:33Pow!
00:33You should have come up with an idea, everyone.
00:36I was talking and you kept batting in.
00:39Who took my unicorns, sparkle stars?
00:4216 candidates.
00:44Have some respect.
00:45Please, you don't know anything about respect.
00:4812 tough weeks.
00:51One life-changing opportunity.
00:53You're fired. You're fired.
00:55You screwed it up.
00:57You're fired.
00:57Previously...
00:58I want you to design a new electric bike.
01:10Thomas was in the saddle.
01:12A nice, classic-looking bike that appeals, that looks classy.
01:16But his team's daring design...
01:18Who chose the red wheels?
01:20...meant they veered off track.
01:21It was Lottie and Mayan.
01:24I said that there should not be coloured wheels.
01:27And sales slumped.
01:29You have to really like that colour to want to buy that bike.
01:32On the other team, project manager Aisha back-pedalled...
01:36I'm just having second thoughts about having the aggressive tyres.
01:40But despite doubts on the design...
01:42I'm sorry, but that looks like someone who commutes very hard.
01:46It's a commuter bike.
01:47...orders soared.
01:481,300.
01:49Done.
01:50And in the boardroom...
01:52They took orders to the value of 1,242,800.
01:56The blue bike triumphed.
01:58Wow.
01:59On the losing team, Marianne almost ran out of road.
02:03You were instrumental in producing that horrible bike.
02:07But it was Lubner...
02:08You didn't sell anything.
02:10...who was on her bike.
02:11You're fired.
02:12Back at the house...
02:15Good evening.
02:16...a surprise visitor.
02:17For your next task, I'm sending you to Oxford and Cambridge.
02:22These cities are home to the two most famous universities in the world.
02:27The rivalry between them goes back centuries.
02:31And for this task, you're going to be competing to buy nine items associated with Oxford and Cambridge.
02:39So I suggest you get an early night.
02:424 a.m.
02:53Who's not stepped up as p.m.?
02:55You?
02:57I don't know if this is my task yet.
02:59I have to wait and see.
03:00I don't think it's going to be a task in Harrods.
03:03Do you think you're going to put yourself off for p.m.?
03:05Who knows?
03:05Today won't be the day.
03:07Pass on.
03:09Bosh.
03:10Today, teams must scour Oxford and Cambridge for nine items to buy at knockdown prices.
03:18Are we excited?
03:20Very.
03:21First thing to find...
03:22I'd like to put myself forward as project manager.
03:24...a chief negotiator.
03:25I envision this task being more about lateral thinking, and that's an area where I excel.
03:32I would also like to put myself forward.
03:34I do have knowledge of Oxford.
03:37In addition to that, I'm quite good at strategising.
03:39I have not had the opportunity to show my leadership skills, and I do believe that I am strong.
03:44I will be able to lead a team well.
03:46As a strong negotiator myself, I would like to be in that position.
03:49Okay, shall we take it to the vote?
03:52Vote for Marianne.
03:54Pass for Marianne.
03:55Ah, thanks.
04:00Choosing their chancellor...
04:02Who's got experience in this?
04:04...the other team.
04:06Yeah, I was going to say the fact that I have not been project manager, and I probably won't
04:12be selling myself much, because I've never done a scavenger hunt, and I've never been
04:17talked for on Cambridge.
04:18You know what?
04:18I haven't been PM either.
04:20I mean, I visited Oxford once for a school trip, but that's all I can say.
04:25If you want to vote me as PM, fine.
04:27I'm happy to do it for the team.
04:29Very half-hearted.
04:30Oh, yeah.
04:30I don't want to do it.
04:32If Germany wants to be PM as well, you know, it's up to you guys.
04:36Should we do a vote?
04:37Who votes for Gemmeline?
04:39I don't.
04:40Vote for Gemmeline, even though you put yourself forward for PM.
04:43I believe that she will be a fantastic PM.
04:45Yeah.
04:45Perfect.
04:49Both teams have maps, local directories, and a list of nine items.
04:5412 free-range eggs, freshly laid today.
04:57We have to go to a farm for sure.
04:59Including a bushel of apples...
05:01A bushel is a box.
05:04...rigajigger...
05:04I believe it's trying to do with a boat.
05:06Can I just say, it's a given, obviously, both universities are known for boat racing.
05:10And a snaffle.
05:12Specification, egg butt.
05:13A snaffle is generally, when it comes to animals, something that you put over their snout.
05:18Yeah.
05:19A mortarboard.
05:20Picture a graduation day for a university.
05:22The hat that they wear.
05:23It's iconic to any university when you graduate, you're supposed to be able to get it.
05:27But particularly Oxford, Cambridge.
05:28And then a book from the Alice in Wonderland Collection, specification, pre-Second World War.
05:34An old one.
05:34Just ensure that it is before 1939.
05:37Perfect.
05:38Let's just be really clear on that.
05:39So, 1939 to 1945, just ensure that it's before that.
05:42So, the next one is a book from the Alice in Wonderland Collection, okay, pre-World War II.
05:49Does anybody know, just so we can be really clear, what date Second World War started, so we can make sure we're pre-that.
05:55I think it's 1945.
05:5645.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Is that when it started or ended?
05:591945.
06:00Oh, this isn't a good start.
06:03It's a great start.
06:04Um, 19.
06:05Just think of our parents' age, were they alive, you know, what year they were born?
06:10They were more grandparents.
06:11Yeah.
06:12How long did it go on for at the Second World War?
06:14What's it like?
06:15Four years.
06:16Four?
06:17So then it could have been five years ago.
06:19Yeah, okay, all right.
06:21All right, let's move on to the next item, please.
06:23Uh, the next one is a mortarboard.
06:25It kind of sounds like the thing they hold, do you know what I mean?
06:28And they have the cement on it, and then they stick it under the wall.
06:32The next one is toad.
06:34Next on the list.
06:35The specification is rye, half a dozen.
06:38Of vodka distilled in Oxford.
06:40Rye is bread.
06:41So it's bread.
06:42So it's a bread.
06:43Rye.
06:44We can go to, we can target bakeries.
06:477am.
06:49A university plate with 31 college crests.
06:52Laying out her lateral approach.
06:54Is there anything wrong with just getting a regular plate and finding 31 college crests?
06:58Project manager, Marianne.
07:00It doesn't have to be multiple colleges.
07:02We can go to one college, get the college crest for that one 31 times.
07:05I think that it might have to be all of the different colleges.
07:07What is the university plate?
07:09That's the name of the game when it comes to scavenger hunts.
07:11It's not doing the obvious.
07:13It's not getting what it specifically says.
07:15And finding a clever way to go about getting what you're required to get.
07:19And so I don't see anything wrong at all about getting 31 of the same crest on a university plate and keeping the college.
07:26Okay.
07:27Just please really consider prior to taking any risks because we really do not want to be penalised.
07:32Understood.
07:33I think the problem Marianne's got is that she's thinking too much out of the box.
07:37She thinks every single item has got some scavenger hunt aspect to it.
07:41And she's looking for cutting corners where really there are no corners to be cut.
07:46The next one is Quant.
07:48With half the list still a mystery.
07:50I have no idea what this is.
07:51I have no idea.
07:52Next job for Gemmeline, decide who goes where.
07:56I think I would like to have Pamela, Lewis and Ryan going to Oxford.
08:04Okay.
08:05So I think I want to assign Ryan as a subject leader.
08:09You've got mortarboard, quant.
08:11What about snaffle?
08:12Do you guys want to do maybe...?
08:15The university place obviously is one audience.
08:18One audience.
08:19We both should take it.
08:20They should both take it for the time being.
08:22In that sense we both take Toad then just in case.
08:24Three of these items definitely would be best to find them in Cambridge.
08:27Which one was there?
08:28Twelve freshly laid eggs.
08:29Toad, rye, half a dozen.
08:31A bushel of apples and a bushel box.
08:33So we've got quant, rigga-chigger, mortarboard and snaffle.
08:36And you guys have got apples, eggs and bread.
08:41There's a real lack of strategy in this team.
08:43They don't really know where they're going other than the city of Oxford or Cambridge.
08:47They don't know what their items are and they've got no plan to find out.
08:51If it's like F4, you'll go to 4, go to F, go up and then that will be the point of where it is.
08:57You understand what I just said?
08:58Yeah, yeah, I think I understood.
08:59Thank you so much.
09:00There you go.
09:01On the other team...
09:02I would like to nominate you for sub-team leader if you'll have that.
09:04Absolutely, thank you.
09:05Okay.
09:06Precision planning.
09:07So Lati, Dean, Thomas, you will be going to Cambridge?
09:12Yep.
09:13Of course.
09:14So we'll be looking for the mortarboard, the quant, the rigga-jigger, the bushel of apples and 12 dozen eggs freshly laid today.
09:21So we start with getting the eggs first because they might go as the day goes on.
09:25Absolutely.
09:26Because at the end of the day they might be all gone.
09:27Yes, so apples and eggs, we will target those first.
09:30Excellent.
09:31All right, so you guys ready to go?
09:338am.
09:36While half of each team set off for Cambridge...
09:40So should we do the farms, anything like that?
09:42Yeah, anything like that, yes.
09:43There might be farms or more.
09:44Farm, farm, there's so many farms.
09:46The rest head for Oxford.
09:48We're looking for something that is referred to as toad.
09:51Well, there's a toad gin, which is an Oxford produced gin.
09:55Oh, that's going to be it.
09:57With half of their items still unknown...
10:00I'm ringing Broad Canvas.
10:02It's an art shop.
10:03Lewis, Ryan and Pamela call local businesses.
10:07Hi, I'm wondering if you could help me.
10:09I'm just looking to see if you have a mortarboard.
10:11Isn't that something that graduates get when they...
10:14Oh!
10:15It's the hat.
10:16Oh, and one more question.
10:18Do you know what a toad is?
10:19Like, not an animal.
10:21Like, is there a bread version of a toad?
10:24There is a toad gin distillery.
10:28OK, OK, maybe it's a different thing.
10:32OK.
10:33I'm currently trying to find a snaffle.
10:36Do you have them?
10:37Yes, it's a type of bit that horse wears.
10:40Oh!
10:41A type of bit the horse wears.
10:43How far are you away from, like, the city centre?
10:46Maybe 20 minutes, half an hour.
10:47You'll probably pop in later.
10:49Thank you so much for your time.
10:50You've been amazing.
10:51So, guys, we finally found out a snaffle is something to do with a horse,
10:54and we found someone who has that in stock.
10:57Snaffle identified.
10:58But for now, we need to find out what the hell are Qantas?
11:02Oh!
11:03Five miles in the other direction.
11:06On the other team...
11:07Dean, I just want to be able to see what you can do.
11:09Searching for a deal on a dozen eggs just outside Cambridge...
11:13Get it as low as you possibly can.
11:15Lottie manages her men.
11:17Go in there.
11:18Friendly.
11:19Nice.
11:20Warm.
11:21Go in there and buy 12 eggs, mate.
11:23We're after 12 freshly laid eggs from today.
11:26Yes.
11:27I think you're good to collect yourself.
11:29This is difficult with the dress, but...
11:34Hello.
11:35You don't get much fresher there straight out of chicken this morning.
11:39Here comes their white, but in the food market, their black brand.
11:42OK.
11:45How much would that be for 12?
11:46Er, £2 a dozen.
11:48OK.
11:49Obviously, you've come from London, you know, £1 was our strict budget.
11:51And I did pick the eggs myself.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Saving you the labour.
11:55Go on.
11:56Go on, then.
11:58Thank you so much.
12:00I decided that I wanted Dean as the key person in this negotiation.
12:04It was relatively weak, and I did get involved,
12:07but this being said, he got the eggs for £1,
12:09so we really can't complain.
12:11Before we go...
12:12Yeah.
12:13You wouldn't know where we could get a bushel of apples from by any chance.
12:15Erm, locally.
12:16Are there any farm shops there?
12:18There's a farm shop about three miles that way.
12:22Across Cambridge...
12:24We are running a really, really tight budget here.
12:27Cracking on with their own egg hunt...
12:292-7-5 for 12.
12:30OK, amazing.
12:31Thank you so much.
12:32Deal done, but at more than twice the price of the other team.
12:36Could we just inquire about a bushel of apples?
12:39We have the amount of apples in weight.
12:42Right.
12:43And we have the old English wooden boxes.
12:45How much would that be?
12:46£55 for the kind of cheaper ones.
12:48Could we do £40 and throw in the box?
12:50£45 and throw in the box is a very old box.
12:53Should we do it?
12:5445?
12:55Yeah.
12:56Thank you, Marcus. Perfect.
12:57Deal.
12:58We came here just for the eggs, the freshly laid eggs.
13:01And then, as a bonus, we got the bushel box,
13:03as well as all of the apples that we needed.
13:04So, I'm really relieved.
13:06And we can now move on for the rest of the items.
13:15Oxford.
13:16Moving in on their mortarboard...
13:18Here we are. The one.
13:20..the rest of Gemeline's team.
13:22So, we need to purchase this from you today.
13:24So, can you tell me what the best price is?
13:27My best price for me would be £4.99.
13:29So, today we were probably willing to spend about £2.50 on it.
13:33Oh, good luck with that.
13:34Oh.
13:35The thing is, I'm the only remaining party shop in Oxford.
13:39Oh.
13:40So, I happen to know that this hat that you're desperately after,
13:43is the only one for miles and miles and miles and miles.
13:46Would you even do £4 for me?
13:48£4.75.
13:49Or go on a massive mission.
13:51You're really killing us here.
13:53I think we had a budget in mind.
13:54I know that I've got something that nobody else has got.
13:56But you need...
13:58You don't want to spend all day trying to find a mortarboard
14:00for the sake of £0.25.
14:03I think we should go at £4.70.
14:05£4.70.
14:06Yay!
14:07Thank you so much.
14:09Pamela started with,
14:11we need to purchase this hat.
14:13And what's the price you want to charge us?
14:15Well, that's not a great way to start a negotiation.
14:18All right, guys.
14:19Shall we call the other team and see what's going on?
14:21Hello.
14:22Hi, guys.
14:23You're right.
14:24How are you guys doing?
14:25We found out what a snaffle is.
14:27It's to do with what a horse bites.
14:30Now you know what it is.
14:31Is there any way you feel like you could get that one?
14:34We have found somewhere, but it's a bit further away.
14:36Obviously, we're still struggling with the rig-a-jigger and the quant.
14:39OK, so we'll do the toad, rig-a-jigger, and the quant.
14:44And the quant.
14:45And the quant.
14:46But then we can get the Alice in Wonderland book
14:47and then, obviously, the snaffle and the crest plate
14:50we will try to get.
14:51OK, cool.
14:52Yeah, we're on it then.
14:53Bye.
14:54Bye-bye-bye.
14:55Bye.
14:56Bye-bye-bye.
14:57They're giving us all the hot items now,
14:59plus the other two items that we had to find.
15:02In Oxford, closing in on the pre-war classic...
15:06Here we go.
15:08Marianne's team.
15:09We are after something from the Alice in Wonderland collection,
15:13pre-Second World War.
15:15This is Alice Through the Looking Glass, an early edition, 1878,
15:18and it's got the original binding.
15:20Mm-hm.
15:21And that's £200.
15:22OK.
15:23What would be your best price on that book?
15:27Well...
15:28I feel like me and you, Christopher,
15:29could work together really well on this.
15:31We had £30 in mind.
15:33Yeah, well, no, I can't do anything.
15:34I see there's a big difference.
15:35Yes, yes, I can't do anything like that.
15:37Erm, I'd do £175, but, erm...
15:40Is it possible that we could maybe ask to reserve the item with you
15:44for a period of time?
15:45How long?
15:46Erm, maybe a couple of hours?
15:47Would that be reasonable for you?
15:48Yes, that's fine.
15:49That's fine.
15:50Would that be OK?
15:51Thank you so much.
15:52I really appreciate your time.
15:54All right.
15:55OK, so...
15:56It's a lot higher cost than what we thought.
15:58Yeah, a lot higher.
15:59So I think it's worth, at this stage, checking out a couple of other options
16:02and coming back if we really have to.
16:05We need a bushel of apples in a bushel box.
16:08On the outskirts of Cambridge, hoping to harvest a bushel of apples...
16:12Because all of the apples come in cardboard boxes.
16:15Lottie and her lads.
16:18Well, look, what we'll do, listen, guys, yeah, is we'll get cobbled bushel box,
16:23whatever it is, with a bushel of apples in it, we've got that right,
16:26and then we'll work on the bushel box when we go look for antiques.
16:30It works out at £64.91 for a bushel.
16:3730?
16:38That's not my decision to make.
16:42Thank you so much.
16:43Is that not a boxy?
16:44Is that not...?
16:45No, we don't know what a bushel is.
16:47But look, there's...
16:48Oh, actually.
16:51Mate, how'd you nice a bushel?
16:52It looks like a bushel.
16:53Right, my final offer is £35.
16:58I think we get the apples and we crack on.
17:00Yeah, £100.
17:01Yes?
17:02£35 for the apples?
17:03Yes.
17:04Lovely, thank you very much.
17:0811am.
17:09We are looking for Toad.
17:11On the other half of the team...
17:13We've got the Oxford Rye Vodka.
17:15While Scarlett seals a deal on vodka in Oxford...
17:18Oh, that's brilliant, thank you, eh?
17:21Looking for inspiration on the streets of Cambridge...
17:25Bakers, bakeries.
17:26...Karina, Gemmeline and Ryan Mark.
17:29If we head to this area, we will find a bakery.
17:32Yeah, OK, let's...
17:33OK?
17:34Let's head this way.
17:35OK, what street are we on, guys?
17:37Can we just find out?
17:38Can we just...
17:39Let's position ourselves?
17:41Sorry.
17:42OK, do you know where we are?
17:44No, I don't.
17:45Why don't we go to the library?
17:47Where?
17:48Well, the sign there is pointing down here.
17:49All right, let's go.
17:50This way.
17:51This way.
17:52One minute.
17:53Yeah, library, up here.
17:57We've got a few questions.
17:58Oh, yeah.
17:59Have you ever heard of this term by any chance?
18:02Rigger, Jigger?
18:04No, I haven't.
18:05Well, we have two more.
18:06One of them is quant.
18:08I'd need to do a bit more research on that one.
18:10OK.
18:11What about Toad?
18:12Last but not least.
18:13It's made from rye.
18:14We thought it might be a loaf of bread, potentially.
18:17I've not heard of...
18:18No.
18:19It's not springing to mind.
18:20No.
18:21Really appreciate your time.
18:23You've been very helpful.
18:24Thank you so much.
18:27See you.
18:28I'm feeling a bit nervous.
18:30Obviously, we need to find a lot of information.
18:32I don't think that finding the items is the difficulty is actually knowing what they are.
18:36That's the problem.
18:37In Oxford, the rest of Gemma Lynn's team...
18:41Hello there.
18:42I'm just coming in to see if you had a Alice in Wonderland pre-World War II edition.
18:47Tread a familiar path.
18:50In this cabinet here.
18:51This is 1878.
18:53Yeah.
18:54That's £200.
18:55OK.
18:56Interesting.
18:58Would you mind if we just have a little chat and then I'll come back to you?
19:02Yes.
19:03OK?
19:04Thank you so much.
19:05Thank you so much for your time.
19:07Ryan is sub-team leader.
19:08He's actually had one of the items in his hand and he's decided to wander off.
19:11And I'm not spending that amount of money.
19:12I'm not spending that amount of money.
19:13This is why I'm talking.
19:14£200 on a first edition.
19:15Time is of the essence, I think.
19:16Yeah, let's go.
19:17Sub-team leader, you make the call and let's go.
19:18We'll tell him we'll come back.
19:19Ask him if he doesn't mind holding it back for an hour.
19:20Yeah.
19:21And then we'll go and make some calls.
19:22Rethink.
19:23OK.
19:24I'll go and speak to him.
19:25Great.
19:26Would you mind if we just held Alice for the Looking Glass back just for an hour?
19:27Yes, that's fine.
19:29Ryan is sub-team leader.
19:30He's actually had one of the items in his hand and he's decided to wander off and have
19:35a little stroll down Oxford High Street and see what else he can find.
19:38The answer will be nothing.
19:40Down the road.
19:42Hello there.
19:43Searching for a cheaper way into Wonderland.
19:47What we're looking for is a book from the Alice in Wonderland collection.
19:50Project manager, Marianne.
19:52They're all essentially the same, but they are reprints of the original book.
19:59But they're brand new.
20:00OK.
20:01I'm a bit nervous about which way we go with this.
20:04So the thing is, I don't think we need to take everything, like, literally.
20:08Literally.
20:09So do we want to take the risk, guys?
20:13If we were to say, is this book a pre-Second World War book, would you say yes?
20:19This is the complete original book with the original illustrations.
20:23Yes.
20:24It was just newly printed.
20:25Printed.
20:26I say we go for it.
20:27Yeah.
20:28So you said the price for this is £7.99.
20:32Is there any chance that we could go £4.99?
20:35OK.
20:36All right, then.
20:37I'm all for thinking outside of the box, but I do have some concerns about the book.
20:41That book will be a make it or break it situation for us in that boardroom.
20:45It was a calculated risk.
20:49Tracked down to the home of Cambridge Rowing.
20:52If you're comfortable, I would like the two of us to sort of lead this.
20:55Lottie, Dean and Thomas.
20:57But I will make the final decision as to whether we are going to go for a price or not.
21:01Shop for a small specialist's spanner.
21:04What is a rigger-jigger?
21:05Oh, that's a rigger-jigger?
21:06That is a rigger-jigger.
21:07Fentec, come look.
21:08Yeah.
21:09Right, we need to buy this off you.
21:11OK.
21:12How much do you want for it?
21:13Well, it's going to cost a bit about £10 for me to replace.
21:17It is checking that in.
21:18You have been using it for a little while.
21:20It's quite special though because, you know, this is the Cambridge University boat race.
21:23Yeah.
21:24So this did the nuts up on the boat that won the boat race this year.
21:26Do you know what?
21:27You said that it was going to be £10 for you to replace.
21:30This may seem awfully cheeky.
21:32Would you be kind enough to accept £12?
21:35What if we went to £15?
21:38I think that we're going to have to...
21:40I'm going to have to be as harsh as possible here.
21:44£12, it would be so, so kind of you and would really appreciate it.
21:48We could do that.
21:49Fantastic.
21:50Thank you ever so much.
21:51Cheers.
21:52I mean, I thought I was going to lead that negotiation to get that,
21:55but Lottie stepped in.
21:56I thought I was leading that one.
21:57I mean, I don't understand.
21:59Imagine it was a tenner and she sort of went up,
22:00but I don't understand how she's done that.
22:02I mean, if she'd have let me just talk, I'd have got it for a fiver probably.
22:05It's the...
22:07It's the PM team.
22:08It's the PM team.
22:09Hello, guys.
22:10Have you actually been able to buy anything yet?
22:12Yes.
22:13So we bought the...
22:14The Toad...
22:15So Toad was actually a rye vodka that's made in Oxford.
22:19Also, what was this?
22:20Oh, and then we got the Alice in Wonderland book.
22:22Oh, amazing.
22:23What year was it?
22:24It's the original story that was written before the World War II.
22:29What year was it printed?
22:30So it was printed recently.
22:35It says a book of the stories, pre-read what?
22:38It doesn't say a story.
22:39But the alternative was to go to an antique book dealer
22:43and pay £175 for one.
22:45I don't think that that's what the clue was saying.
22:48I think it is a bit of a risk, to be honest with you.
22:51And the cost was £4.99 in comparison to £175.
22:54Can I just say, if it's £175, that means the penalty might be double that.
22:58Do you know what I mean?
22:59Exactly.
23:00It's worth getting it, especially if you only spent £4.99 on it.
23:01OK.
23:02Bye.
23:03Bye.
23:04So, can I just clarify?
23:05We're the sub team.
23:06We've got six items.
23:07We're really pulling our weight.
23:08They're the PM team.
23:09They've got three items and they've messed up one already.
23:11If you want something doing, do it yourself.
23:13Exactly.
23:14Lunchtime.
23:15Oh, my goodness.
23:16I have no idea where anything is.
23:18I'm just trying to think what a quant could be.
23:20Still on the lookout for items.
23:22We just need to look out for bakeries.
23:24We need to find about the college plates.
23:26Gemeline, Karina and Ryan Mark.
23:29What about this place?
23:30We've got the plate.
23:31Ah!
23:32That's it, that's it.
23:33Oh, my goodness.
23:35We'll go for the smallest size.
23:36We just get the little one, right?
23:38Because there was no size.
23:39Didn't specify size.
23:4031.
23:41Perfect.
23:42Perfect.
23:43Would you be able to do these for £3?
23:45Oh, sorry.
23:46No.
23:47I can do £6.
23:48Can you do £5.50?
23:49£5.75, then.
23:51Let's do £5.75.
23:52OK.
23:53£5.75.
23:54Thank you so much.
23:56Thank you so much.
23:57Really appreciate it.
23:58Thank God we found that.
23:59Really relieved.
24:01Hello.
24:02Hello.
24:03Hi, guys.
24:04Right?
24:05Really, really well.
24:06We just found a plate.
24:07So how you guys are doing?
24:08I found the Alice in Wonderland book,
24:09but the thing is we need to ask you is £200.
24:13What do you want us to do?
24:15Well, it's easy to ask me.
24:17What did I want to do?
24:19I'm a bit confused as well.
24:23What do we do?
24:25Can you get the book reduced to £90 or something like that?
24:29I mean, I will try.
24:30That's a £130 drop.
24:32There's one other option is we try and find another book store
24:35with a later, not a first edition, something else.
24:38Bye-bye.
24:39Bye-bye.
24:40Bye-bye.
24:41Gemeline was looking to everyone else apart from herself
24:43to come up with a decision.
24:45That just demonstrates the nature of her leadership.
24:47She looks at others in terms of leaders and that's bad.
24:50What way was we headed?
24:52We were heading...
24:53I think that way was much.
24:54OK, let's head this way then.
24:55OK.
24:58Oh, God.
25:001pm.
25:01For Marianne, Aisha and Scarlett.
25:03Ten pints for a snack ball.
25:04Are you happy to accept nine?
25:06Second item in the bag.
25:08Oh, thank you very much.
25:10Next, decision time.
25:12I don't know which way to go with this book situation.
25:15To make that decision for £175 just feels like a...
25:19I feel like it's big.
25:20It is make or break, for sure.
25:22I'm also worried about spend.
25:24Even backtracking now and saying,
25:26OK, we'll go get the more expensive book, that could break us.
25:29OK, so let's go head towards the St. Philip's bookshop.
25:32I think we should see what we can negotiate
25:34and then decide whether to roll the dice or not on it.
25:36With only one item ticked off...
25:40Could you show us what you have, by any chance?
25:42Yeah, of course.
25:43Ryan leads Lewis and Pamela in search of a better book deal.
25:47This one is from 1914.
25:49Lovely.
25:50And how much is this one?
25:52That one is £450.
25:54Wow.
25:55This one is, strangely, the second Swedish edition.
25:59And that's a little bit earlier.
26:00That's £18.98.
26:02And what's the price on that one?
26:04That's £8.50.
26:05OK.
26:06And this is a proper...
26:07Oh, OK.
26:08OK.
26:09So we're not looking for the rare book,
26:11we're just looking for one that's open.
26:12We're looking for just one that happens to be just before the war.
26:14This is one.
26:15That's it.
26:16OK.
26:17OK.
26:18Well, we're going to have to go back, but we appreciate your time.
26:19Yeah, not still.
26:20It's a pleasure.
26:22Another book sourced...
26:23This is taking a lot of time, guys.
26:25..but still no deal.
26:29On the Cambridge side of the team...
26:31Hello.
26:32I'm looking for a specific item that you might find in Cambridge.
26:34It's called a quant.
26:36Three items bought...
26:37Is it like a punting pole?
26:39What's a punting pole?
26:41A punting pole.
26:42That's a sort of confusing.
26:44Two still to find.
26:46So I'm looking for something called a quant.
26:48It's a long piece of timber that you would actually propel yourself...
26:51For the boat?
26:52Yes.
26:53Oh, OK.
26:54OK, so we just need to head towards the river because they do punting.
26:56Now I understand.
26:57It's the boat.
26:58We don't know where we are.
26:59That's the problem.
27:00We're here, Trinity.
27:01That's where we're going now, punting pole.
27:02Which way is the river?
27:03Oh, he's still there.
27:04Oh, he's still there.
27:05Come on.
27:06Oh, shoot.
27:07Shoot.
27:08My tune is coming off.
27:09Has it come off?
27:10Yeah.
27:11Wait, wait, wait.
27:12To the river, Lewis.
27:13Fine.
27:14On the other team.
27:15Thomas, this one's yours.
27:16Trying to get it for the lowest price possible.
27:17One step ahead in the river race.
27:18Can I make the final say on what price we go for?
27:19Let's go.
27:20Lovely, let's go.
27:21Let's do this, yeah?
27:22Lottie and her boys.
27:23Good afternoon.
27:24It's lovely to meet you.
27:25Guys, we need to buy a quant.
27:26200 pounds.
27:27200 pounds.
27:28Way out of our budget.
27:29We cannot do that.
27:30We can't do that.
27:31We can't do that.
27:32We can't do that.
27:33We can't do that.
27:34We can't do that.
27:35We can't do that.
27:36We can't do that.
27:37We can't do that.
27:38We can't do that.
27:39We can't do that.
27:40200 pounds.
27:41200 pounds.
27:42Way out of our budget.
27:43We cannot do that.
27:44What's your budget?
27:45Around the 40 quid mark.
27:46Around the 40 quid mark.
27:47I know.
27:48I know.
27:49We'll do it for 60.
27:50How much?
27:51You can do it for 68.
27:5260 quid.
27:53Hang on.
27:54One second, Lottie.
27:55One second, Lottie.
27:56One second, Lottie.
27:57One second, Lottie.
27:58One second, Lottie.
27:59I'll give you 40 pounds.
28:00I'll shake your hand and we'll take...
28:01You'll mix in the middle.
28:0250 quid.
28:03I'll tell you, what about if we flip a coin for it?
28:05If I win 40 pounds, if you win 50 pounds?
28:07I'll go for that.
28:08Should we do that?
28:09Who's got the coin at?
28:10Why not?
28:11I'll let you go.
28:12What do you want?
28:13Heads or tails?
28:14I want heads.
28:15Really?
28:16Do you want to flick it?
28:17I'm not a gambling woman.
28:18Oh!
28:1950 quid.
28:20No!
28:2150 pounds.
28:22Thank you very much.
28:23How's that going to fit in a minibus?
28:25The negotiation ended in them flipping a coin.
28:28A gamble.
28:30You don't gamble in business.
28:32You go out there, you make a solid pitch.
28:34It's completely irresponsible.
28:36I was a little bit concerned about the fact that you took it to a bet.
28:41Secondly, you were supposed to ask me for a final prize and you didn't at all.
28:44Because it was mid-negotiation and you finished it.
28:46No, no, no.
28:47I was simply interjecting and you both told me to basically be quiet, which wasn't appropriate.
28:52But then you took it to a bet, Thomas.
28:58Pot on their heels.
29:00Is that the hunting pole?
29:01And finally at the riverbank.
29:03It's huge.
29:04Karina, Gemmeline and Ryan Mark.
29:06It looks lovely.
29:07I love your pole.
29:09Easy.
29:10I was...
29:11No, I'm...
29:12Literally...
29:13We've been looking everywhere for this pole.
29:16I really want to know, what is the best that you could offer?
29:18Because we really want to get this pole today.
29:20OK, well, brand new.
29:21These sell for over 200.
29:23OK.
29:25We've been using this for a couple of years.
29:27You can see it's nicely worn in.
29:28We wouldn't be able to go any lower than about 140.
29:32Could we do then 120 for this?
29:34It's two years of usage.
29:35And then we can take it away now.
29:371.30.
29:38Should we meet at 1.25?
29:40And we're set at 1.25.
29:41We'll take the pole right away now.
29:431.25.
29:44Yes.
29:45All right.
29:46Thank you so much, Patrick.
29:47They go to the first guy, beg him for his quant,
29:50tell him they need it.
29:52He knows they'll pay almost anything.
29:54And he got a good price for a second-hand quant.
29:57We are laughing stuff.
30:00They're two a penny round here.
30:02I never thought I would carry a huge pole.
30:04A huge pole running through Cambridge with a magic.
30:06Oh.
30:074pm.
30:08Back in Oxford.
30:09OK.
30:10We're going to have to run.
30:11With just one hour to go, both teams close in on the bookshop.
30:16Come on, Isha.
30:17Get your running shoes on.
30:18It's down here, isn't it?
30:19It's here.
30:20Are you sure?
30:21No.
30:22I'm thinking if we could negotiate something around £100.
30:25Where are we?
30:26It's down here.
30:27It's down here, isn't it?
30:28It's here.
30:29Are you sure?
30:30No.
30:31I'm thinking if we could negotiate something around £100.
30:32Where are we?
30:33It's down here.
30:34It's down here.
30:35Yeah, it's down here.
30:36It's down here.
30:37It's down here.
30:38I wanted to talk to you about a deal in this book.
30:41Ryan, Pamela and Lewis.
30:44So, what is the best price you can give us?
30:47£200.
30:48Yeah.
30:49Would you take £150 and we'll leave right now?
30:51I don't think so.
30:52All right, I'll give you £165.
30:54£165?
30:55Come on, give us £165.
30:57£165 is a fair price, I think.
30:59It's a much bigger discount than normally give.
31:02OK, we'll take it.
31:03We'll take it.
31:05£35 knocked off, book bought.
31:09This book is the bane of my life.
31:12I've spent all day looking for this bloody book.
31:14The plan now is to race to get the Rigger Jigger
31:17and hopefully we'll get the Snaffle too.
31:19Urgh!
31:20Seven hours after their first recce...
31:23Hello, Christopher.
31:24..Scarlett, Marianne and Aisha return.
31:27We'd really love to purchase the book.
31:28Right.
31:29It's just the cost.
31:30Yes.
31:31Erm, so we wanted to come back to you one final time
31:33and see if there was any possible movement at all.
31:36Erm, well, unfortunately the book that you looked at before,
31:41er, has been sold because, you know,
31:44I haven't heard from you and it got, it's getting so late.
31:47Oh, Christopher, we thought that you'd reserved it
31:50to the end of the day.
31:51We're so disappointed.
31:52I have the 225 book left.
31:54I'm prepared to negotiate a bit on that.
31:56I mean, we'd, we obviously thought the 175 was too high.
32:00170?
32:01Erm, I do 170.
32:07I think as much as I'm all for actual thinking,
32:12I think we should buy it.
32:14Yeah, let's do it.
32:15Yeah, 170.
32:16Thank you so much.
32:18It was a pleasure.
32:19With 55 pounds off the asking price,
32:22second copy of Alice in the bag.
32:24We were hugely, hugely worried about purchasing the book.
32:28I mean, it's a huge risk to go back and suddenly spend 170 pounds.
32:32It could be a game changer.
32:3430 minutes till the teams must get to their meeting points.
32:38I don't know where they are.
32:40For any missing or incorrect items are fine.
32:43Two quid.
32:44Four quid.
32:45I'm eating in the middle of three quid.
32:46I was checking it right now.
32:47Brilliant.
32:48Deal.
32:49Gift shop, gift shop.
32:50There's one there, look.
32:51I was wondering whether you would possibly accept £1.50.
32:53You'd be doing this an enormous...
32:54Two pound is my lowest.
32:55Lovely, thank you so much.
32:56We can see if we can get a snaffle egg butt,
32:58and then we're going to get back,
32:59but we're also in sandstone traffic, so...
33:01Oh.
33:02Let's go.
33:03What was one of these?
33:04Would you possibly accept £2.50?
33:05I suppose I can do it for that price.
33:06Yeah, bakers, bakers, there.
33:07We're running out of time here.
33:08We're looking for a bushel box.
33:09I can't say we do have a bushel box.
33:10Oh, my God.
33:11We need to get over here.
33:12We're running out of time.
33:13Five minutes to go.
33:14We're looking for a bushel box.
33:15I can't say we do have a bushel box.
33:17Oh, my God.
33:18We need to get over here.
33:19We're running out of time.
33:20Five minutes to go.
33:21Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
33:24Finishing line in Oxford, Hertford College.
33:26So, we are going to go to the Hertford steps.
33:27Yeah.
33:28Come on, Ryan, Mark.
33:29Oh, my gosh.
33:30Meeting point in Cambridge, the Fitzwilliam Museum.
33:32To the finish line.
33:33Where is it?
33:34Where is it?
33:35I think we're nearly there, aren't we?
33:36Run, run, run.
33:37Come on.
33:38We can do this.
33:39Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it's there, it's going, it's going, it's going.
33:40It's going.
33:41It's going.
33:42It's going.
33:43It's going.
33:44It's going.
33:45It's going.
33:46It's going.
33:47Oh, my way.
33:48Oh, my way.
33:50Five p.m., times up.
34:02Finally, we've found a use for that map.
34:05Oh, my way.
34:06finally we found a use for that man right okay let's fame the PM team and
34:11ask them where they are are you at your fight are you at your deadline yes yes
34:19we are too I have to be worried for the boardroom tomorrow because we didn't get
34:23all the items so whether or not we negotiated a good deal that doesn't
34:27matter if we get hit with a massive penalty because we didn't secure all of
34:30the items I mixed feelings I'm kind of raging we didn't get the snaffle there
34:44was a small bit of time wasting with Ryan I go I think he lost track of where we
34:49were going and we should have started on the outskirts and if we did that I think
34:51the rest would have fallen into place tonight back to the house tomorrow in
34:57the boardroom a head-to-head
35:06you can go through to the boardroom now
35:10well one of my favorite tasks and we went to the great university towns of
35:32England Oxford and Cambridge to find nine items which will exercise your skills of
35:40negotiation and also on logistics now Marianne you chose to be the project
35:48manager is that right correct so Lotte and myself expressed a desire to be project
35:53manager there was a vote and they voted for me to be project manager I appointed
35:58Lotte as sub-team leader finally lawn sugar ah well you got passed over there as a project
36:05manager yes yes us Jewish folk we have a Passover once a year you seem to have it
36:10once a week tell me what happened next then so we decided to split the items there were nine items so
36:17the Cambridge team went with five we went with four how many of those items did you
36:21recognize or know I would say the mortar board we knew straight away
36:26eggs obviously
36:28he is an asset isn't he when you think about it yeah okay so you set the Cambridge team to find the
36:39mortar board the quant the rigger jigger apple and eggs is that right yes we went we went off and I
36:46suggested that we go and get the eggs first because it'd be freshly loaded into the data might be all gone so
36:50we wouldn't we went to a farm which is outside of Cambridge they negotiated the eggs we got the
36:54eggs for a pound and then we the lady gave us some advice that there's some apples
36:58around the corner we got to the farm shop they didn't have a bushy box for sure a
37:04bushel sorry X but we've bought the apples bought the bushel bought the bushel of apples
37:10the amount of apples but no box because we couldn't find one there yeah okay so what else did you get in
37:17Cambridge um so first of all we went to get the rigger jigger we then moved on to collect the
37:23quants so we arrived respectfully it was a bit like being led by a school teacher we Thomas it was clear
37:30you made you wanted him to lead the negotiations and he hadn't he was mid negotiation and then you
37:34stepped in and just randomly came out of the figure of 60 when he was and what happened was he wouldn't
37:40go any laden 50 pounds and I and I wanted to be at 40 so I said look I'll tell you what I want a bit
37:44thought you'll be 50 he wouldn't go loud and I said we'll flip a coin for it if you win 50 if I
37:48wouldn't thought we've got 50 chance I did lose but at least we got it for 50 there was originally an
37:53agreement that a sub-team leader Thomas would ask me before I'm going for a final price and I do think
37:58that in business there is no room for gambling oh I mean sorry sorry sorry business is a gamble if you
38:05don't if you don't take a risk you'll get nowhere risk-taking is important Lord sugar but in this
38:10task we could have very very small margins that could mean a win or lose um okay so Marianne so
38:15what did you get up to so we we wound up with three items we had the snaffle we had the toad you might
38:22enlighten empower on what toad is because I don't know there was a spirits and wine shop we stopped
38:28by and she actually explained that no no you don't want the gin you want the vodka because the vodka is
38:33the rye and then we found the book at a rare bookshop and he had to they were they were pre-world war and
38:41it was a bit confusing for me because in my country we started a little bit later so well they always turn
38:46up a bit like the American reason why I said go and find a pre-war one I mean you could have gone
38:53anywhere to get a copy of it anyway which is what you did I think you bought a four quid copy didn't
38:58you we did as well bought it on Kindle and we thought about it throughout the day we discussed
39:03it with the team and decided to go back to that store towards the end of the day and ask the rare
39:07bookstore and if we could buy that but he went back to buy it it was a big debate wasn't it
39:12okay let's move on then we've got Gemma Lynn the project manager perhaps you can tell me how that
39:27came about yes look sugar so in the brainstorming I put myself forward I felt like I wanted to yeah be
39:35managed the team I also put myself for this PM on the premise that I knew what the task would need in
39:39terms of skills mm-hmm you ought to be voted for Gemma Lynn I did because I thought Gemma Lynn
39:44would be most useful for this task okay now there were five of the nine items that you had no idea
39:50what they were yes one one I'm shocked about you didn't know what the mortarboard was about and no
39:57people I heard you thinking it was something to do with a plasterer and yeah and builders where you
40:03put cement on yeah some reason I had in my head it was the thing that cements it's on I don't know
40:08why I just thought so what did you think the quant was a Latin swear word or something there was a bit
40:14of a complication because you were told it was a punting pole but you didn't know what punting
40:18they might have thought it was a Polish gambler yeah anyway Cambridge yeah what did you do I
40:25negotiated a price for the eggs for 12 freshly laid eggs originally 3.90 and I negotiated to 275 once he
40:34shook hands on the eggs I then just asked him the apples outside you know is that the box that the
40:39rain is that a bushel box he said it was a bushel box yeah we shook on 45 okay what else then we had
40:46the quant yes it wasn't commercially available so we spoke to the owner and we were able to get a price
40:52for the punting pole I understand you went to the fellow and you said to him oh you have a lovely long
40:58pole yeah I did I thought it was a nice power I love your pole it's so long it was a bit like carry
41:06on boating wasn't it yeah yeah so you didn't get the vodka did you know I was convinced it was a
41:14loaf of bread yes you're a baker yeah right well I've never heard of time the person you telephoned
41:19the artist he told you it was a gin and it was made from a distillery was called toad are you sure
41:25yeah you did you wrong hmm okay well Oxford team yeah what did you do so we did the mortarboard what
41:34Pamela and did oh then we had the same dilemma as the other group found over for 800 pound 1,200 then
41:42thought we need to get back to the one so we raced it of a shop and picked up the one that we I think
41:47we got before them that we'd reserved what we also reserved then we fought rigger-jigger so we sent
41:52um off Louise how much do you pay for it I went in there when what does it sell for you said it sells
41:57about ten quid I went I'll give you two quid he went four quid I went three quid done we were out
42:01because we're going to pay for yours but he paid 12 pounds he got done up there got stitched up there
42:07well done three quid and then towards the end today we're running short time and we had a
42:11snaffle in sight but unfortunately we ran out of time and had to make a decision to get back
42:15you knew where it was yeah we knew where it was and you didn't go and buy it no hmm okay well good
42:24team leader yeah yeah yeah right let's find out how we got on Karen tell me about empower well as you
42:34would have heard Alan empower bought seven of the nine items and they spent 351 pound 20 on securing
42:42those but the two that they didn't secure meant that you imposed fines of 280 pounds so that makes
42:49their total of 631 pounds and 20 minutes Claude same question so unison managed to get eight of the nine
42:59items and spent 304 pounds 49 as you know they failed to secure one of the items in full and so their fines
43:08were 65 pounds giving a total of 369 pounds 49 well done Thomas what's it like being on a winning team
43:21first time once I'm really happy good you thought to to at Cambridge was a good away point did you yeah
43:28um you've been racing around Oxford and Cambridge which are synonymous of course with the annual boat
43:36race so I've arranged for you to go to the Thames rowing club and where you'll meet the double Olympic
43:43champion Helen Glover who will put you through your paces in an indoor rowing tank so enjoy it and I'll see
43:53you all on the next task thank you okay well basically you were like headless chickens really
44:15no strategy didn't know what you were looking for not a very very good result at all
44:22off you go okay so if you want to choose a seat pressures on you three against you three I'm gonna
44:36see in 30 seconds how many strokes you can take Latte Dean are you ready go
44:40that's so good to get my first win as project manager it was time go leading Thomas and Dean was like
45:01herding cats Thomas was a very big character and it struggled to listen to a few instructions that
45:06overall I can't complain okay let's go I'm so pleased that I pushed the book oh mate pressure's on
45:14because I was obviously concerned I know Marianne was trying to think outside of the box but it paid off
45:20this side was a clear winner well done when do you guys find out about this nuffle we planned throughout
45:28the day to try and go and get it we'd have to go right out of Oxford for it we should have started on
45:32the outskirts I mean hindsight we should have went there first Ryan will have to take some responsibility
45:36as sub-team leader they should have started off with the snaffle first so yeah I feel like the blame
45:41lies with them you guys obviously got a fine too and your quad was again they got a three times 125 I
45:48think it was a little bit of a soft negotiation it was your decision who negotiated you said I can
45:54negotiate you could have put Karina in charge that was your decision Gemma Lynn should have sat there
45:58made a few phone calls with the team figured out which items were where and then divvy that out
46:02between it not just pluck a few items and send you on your way we were lost when we arrived in
46:07Cambridge there wasn't any sort of strategy any plan there was no input all he wanted to do was take
46:12control because you couldn't make decisions you're a poor leader you're a bad leader and a bad manager
46:17Ryan Mark made a poor negotiation he just asked the gentleman what's the best you can do obviously they're
46:23not gonna give him a very good deal you need to go in go with the lowest and then move up could you send
46:37the candidates in place you can go through to the boardroom now right well
46:53Gemma Lynn was the project manager not clear why you put yourself forward there's no rhyme or
46:59reason or logistics about it and certainly you didn't know anything about the products either
47:04this task it was a very hard task I've done this for 15 years we didn't know where the items were
47:11none of us I know that that's the point the whole point of this is to find out what they are we're
47:17constantly calling on the phone bakeries we was trying to figure it out what the other
47:23team items where that's because you were fixated that the vodka was bread but that's that's what
47:28you thought I think the point that I would sort of have to make is that if it did come up during the
47:33day that you found out it was a gin or vodka or something that community didn't get communicated to
47:39us and we didn't find that out you did actually you did Pamela you were speaking to an art shop and is
47:46the only one that said your toad is a gin lord sugar we were all on the phone together I don't I don't
47:52want to speak for the guys but I don't remember him saying that I do you Ryan that was 250 pounds
47:57yes but also yeah yeah but okay fine there was obviously a mishearing in the car obviously yes
48:07but listen when we spoke to you guys about the toad if you said to us we've have no idea what a toad is
48:12or whatever we would have obviously taken on like we're working as a team in a hole anyway at the
48:17Cambridge mob between 10 30 and 3 15 you bought nothing so that's nearly five hours any reason
48:25for that I think there was times throughout the day where it could have been clearer as to where
48:31we was heading the minute we got out of the the van where was we gonna head if I hadn't said the
48:36library where was we get our strategy where was we gonna it wasn't a waste of time there was no
48:44direction from yeah I know no strategy whatsoever none whatsoever none from you and none from you
48:52either let me tell you something just your own information seven items bought only two of them
48:59were cheaper than the other team so it clearly indicates you are poor negotiators clearly right
49:06even the Alice in Wonderland book and you thought you did a good job there Ryan right I thought it
49:13was a good price and yeah didn't do such a great job because the same vendor that you went to is
49:19prepared to reduce the price by 55 pounds for the other team and only 35 for you so they must have seen
49:25you coming and Ryan mark this pole that you bought yeah the other team got it for 50 quid what why do
49:31you think you did so well 125 you know what I hold my hands up I wish I could have negotiated a better
49:37deal looking at the task as a whole I believe Gemma Lim was hugely indecisive I thought there was a lack
49:43of clarity and a lot at least I'm putting myself forward as a leader you're bracing through this
49:48process and then when it comes down to point down the fingers it's very easy you put yourself forward I've been
49:52something in us twice and PM once I led the negotiation I could have taken you don't lead the negotiation you want to take control over things can I finish I took a risk doing the negotiation
50:02no you didn't take risk you do you are you saying that you and Karina could have done a better job
50:06at negotiating 100 and convenient for you to say I was happy to go into that negotiation because of
50:12course I want to win the task right I think I've heard enough Gemma Lynn as the project manager you're
50:19entitled to tell me which two you're bringing back in here so do you do their pool negotiation skills and I'm
50:27gonna bring by a mark obviously you was the sub-team leader and there was an item missing so I'm gonna
50:33bring Brian right you other three go back to the house but just understand that I'm not happy at all
50:43with what I've seen from any of you here off you go back okay I'm gonna have a chat with Karen and
50:55Claude you're gonna step outside and then I'm gonna call you back in here shortly and at least one of
51:03you is gonna be fired for sure okay so Gemma Lynn she put herself forward because she thought it was
51:17about time I should be a project manager I mean right from the beginning Alan she showed no leadership
51:22skills there was no strategy she was just the wrong project manager for this task yeah now Ryan Mark he's
51:29very eloquent speaker isn't he over the past five weeks he hasn't done very much but he's very very
51:35quick to point the finger at other people and that's not a good trade hmm and then you got Ryan he'd
51:41identified one of the items first thing in the morning and his plan was so bad he never actually
51:46got round to going and get it you know start with what you know and work backwards from there yeah
51:51yes little sugar okay can you send the three of them in please
51:57Gemma Lynn I think that the problem that you have is that you don't really have any leadership skills I
52:13understand that low sugar but I am a great leader and I know you're not a great leader excuse me excuse
52:19me excuse me you're not a great leader because she'd lost this task you know I wanted to get out of my
52:25comfort zone and I wanted to and I yeah it may it went the wrong way unfortunately but at least I put
52:31myself forward and I tried to do my best hmm well run fifth task fifth lost for you yes is there a
52:45clue there somewhere I have been a key member in every single team and I've done the most in every single
52:50team but you haven't been successful I haven't been successful but it's better for me to at least be
52:54going for it you had identified what the snapper was yes now why did we end up not getting it because
53:01the way we were driving in I'll tell you what you're very good at you got very good at excuses so I'm not
53:07passing excuses I made a mistake with the time management and the location for one of them Ryan Mark do you
53:15know young men you remind me of what I call a weathercock and a weathercock turns with the wind
53:22whichever way the wind is blowing it goes that way when I asked earlier on a good project manager
53:28really yes yes she was fine yes she was quite good yes I'll shoot a while ago whether she's any good
53:34and you're telling me she's no bloody good the first time I was honest I should have spoken up but
53:39now I think at the time you didn't know whether your team had lost or won did you think you just
53:43want to save your neck so it was about saving my neck I so why am I here because it seems to be
53:48highlighted I'm here do you want me to be honest because I did a poor negotiation you want me to
53:51be honest because I lost respect the moment that you voted me to be the project manager just to save
53:57yourself because you're breathing through this process this is you are breathing through this
54:01process not conspiracy you are breathing I could have said for example for the negotiation
54:05have you put yourself forward once for the negotiation that has been highlighted I could
54:08have taken a back seat and said let someone else do it but I did the negotiation you're taking the
54:12back seat the whole time you've been here and I admit that Lord Sugar in the task you actually
54:16forgot to mention about the gin and that cost us 280 pounds you forgot that as something
54:20needed you wanted a BPM time and time again Ryan you're very good at pointing the finger
54:25both of you target me no I'm not talking to you I am honest I am honest I am 100% honest
54:31how well I'm mark tell me why I shouldn't fire you today I am here to show you what I'm made of and I
54:38really want to send this process to one first of all show you what I can do as PM no sugar I came to
54:44this country 16 years so I didn't speak the language I worked my backside off to be to where I am today
54:51I've got very much a lot more to show I've had some bad luck throughout this process but my skill set
54:57has been shown I have but I believe you are not good in this process Ryan and you're blaming it on luck
55:02well at least in each one I've done better than you you've failed five tasks yeah listen I think
55:07you know I've kind of had enough I'm going to conclude I don't want any interruption from anybody
55:14Gemma Lynn there was no decisiveness and no strategy and on that basis you know I'm in a bit of a
55:24dilemma and Ryan the same for you you have lost five times I think there's a clue there somewhere
55:32and you make quite a lot of errors on this task and you young man you can talk to you are blue in the
55:38face about you would have spoken up a little bit earlier weathercock that's how I see you
55:44I'm gonna make a decision now which may be wrong but Gemma Lynn I'm gonna let you stay and you can go
55:56back to the house thank you Ryan every time I point out something to you you've got some excuse or
56:06argument or some way of wriggling out of it I'm really struggling hard right mark I'm sorry my
56:17friend very eloquent and I find you a little bit slippery it's worrying for me but Ryan you have not
56:26convinced me about your business skills I don't see you as my business partner so Ryan you're fired
56:33thank you so much now young lady you're remaining by a disamount okay go back to the house
57:03I definitely think it's a missed opportunity for Lord sugar there's a lot of people in this
57:11process that shouldn't be here I felt like I was one of the good ones but at the end of the day it's
57:15his decision it's Gemma Lynn's first time in the boardroom so that's gonna be a bit of a baptism of fire
57:21all right one comes
57:22Brian got a bit of a grin
57:23oh Ryan did what about Ryan I wondered about it well it's his second time in the board what did they say
57:28hey oh
57:35you are Gemma Lynn I didn't buddy you are my goodness that was so intense what happened Gemma Lynn all I'm gonna say to you guys is that
57:44until you're not sitting in that boardroom you have no idea what this game is about and I think just don't underestimate this process I think
57:51it could be any one of us I think no one expects a run to go so it could be any of us here right now
57:55now 11 candidates remain Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner continues
58:06next time I want you to design a roller coaster twists and turns
58:13why is there a hand please ups and downs do you want my input because I've done you've given it
58:21and in the boardroom the end of the ride they seem to have dropped you right in it you're fired
