00:00Economic uncertainty. Bold players can win big.
00:06Now one man stands ready to invest.
00:12Fighting it out for his funding.
00:1618 ambitious entrepreneurs.
00:20I'm the James Bond of the business world.
00:23I've got the acumen, I've got the experience, and I'm pretty sure I've got the looks as well.
00:27I'm disgustingly competitive.
00:30I will go to absolutely any lengths, and I mean any, to win this investment.
00:37I've got a message for all the other candidates.
00:39I may be young, and you might think I lack experience, but I am coming for you.
00:45On offer, a quarter million pound investment.
00:49I'm always getting compared to being the Kim Kardashian of the business world,
00:53because I'm doing business with a hint of glam.
00:55I'm going to be turning over a million pound before I'm 30,
00:59so my best advice to Lord Sugar is come and join the party before it's too late.
01:04To win, they face the fight of their lives.
01:08Because I'm so friendly, everybody thinks that I'm their best friend,
01:11which can be really awkward, because I don't have any friends in business.
01:15I'm here to win this.
01:17The other candidates, they were going to have to be wary, because I am calm and collected.
01:20But if they do come at me, I will bite, and I will sting, and I will leave my mark.
01:25Putting up the cash, Lord Sugar.
01:28This remains the toughest job interview.
01:32There's no VAR in here.
01:34I make the final decision.
01:36Once a small-time trader, now a business big shot.
01:42This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
01:45Let's go, let's go, let's go.
01:46But to get his backing in the bag, a punishing selection process.
01:53Food is ready for table one.
01:54I'll tell you what, just hear me out.
01:56I've asked you to do something for me, please, can you do it?
01:5918 candidates.
02:00Hi, friend.
02:02Service, please.
02:03Move, move, move.
02:0412 tough tasks.
02:06That's too much.
02:07Don't worry, don't worry.
02:09One life-changing opportunity.
02:12If I wanted an easy life, I'd turn the whole bloody lot of your home now.
02:15It's down to business with The Apprentice.
02:19You're fired.
02:20You're fired.
02:21It's a total disgrace.
02:23You're fired.
02:2311 a.m.
02:40The boardroom.
02:44Handing in proposals.
02:4818 potential partners.
02:50Can you send the candidates in, please?
02:59You can go through to the boardroom now.
03:01Good morning, everyone, and welcome to my boardroom.
03:21We've all been facing uncertain times recently.
03:24But one thing is certain.
03:27Rising costs means everyone is looking for good value, and I'm no exception.
03:34I want a business partner who's going to offer me a serious return on my investment.
03:40And in exchange for that, I'm offering £250,000 and over 50 years of successful business experience.
03:49This is not a game.
03:51It's an opportunity of a lifetime.
03:54Right.
03:54As you can see, I've got a pile of CVs here.
03:57These CVs normally contain more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.
04:02And more crap than a Glastonbury toilet.
04:08Joseph.
04:09Yes, well, you can call me Joe.
04:11I'll call you Joe, yeah.
04:13You claim to be the James Bond of business.
04:16Is that right?
04:17Yeah.
04:17I may regret saying that in my application.
04:19Yeah, you will.
04:20You will.
04:21You will.
04:22Your CV is not so much Thunderball.
04:25It's more like Thunderbollocks, if you ask me.
04:29You say when the only thing you've been convicted of is being devilishly handsome.
04:33Oh, yeah.
04:34Oh, my God.
04:35Who's Victoria?
04:36Who's Victoria?
04:37Are you a flight attendant?
04:39Yeah.
04:39Yeah, did you bring your sick bags?
04:42I think I need them.
04:43I'll hand them out.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Simba.
04:46Hi, Lois Rigger.
04:47You say you enjoy being a disruptor.
04:51Is that right?
04:53I think it's important to always challenge the status quo.
04:55I think disruption, constructive disruption is very good.
04:58So, you're in a task, you're going to disrupt.
05:02Not necessarily disruption in a negative way.
05:05You do understand the game plan.
05:07Right.
05:09Marnie?
05:09Yes, Lois Sugar?
05:10Now, you are a boxing gold medalist.
05:13I am.
05:13And a court advocate.
05:16So, does that mean you punch someone's lights out and get off the charges or what?
05:21No, in real life, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
05:24But, yeah, I was called to the bar, so I am officially a barrister, but I didn't go on to do private practice, so I don't refer to myself as that.
05:32Okay.
05:33Mark.
05:34That's me, Lord Sugar.
05:36Mark, you're in the pest control business.
05:37Correct.
05:38Got any tips of how I can deal with Piers Morgan?
05:42You've been to over 100 countries?
05:44Correct.
05:46You on the run or something?
05:49Just like travelling.
05:50All right.
05:51Danny.
05:52That's me, Lord Sugar.
05:52Hi, Danny.
05:53Happy to meet you.
05:54You say, one day I'll be standing next to Lord Sugar.
05:57You sound like you're going to be my carer.
06:02I meant as your business partner, Lord Sugar, certainly not your carer.
06:05Okay.
06:06Gregory?
06:07I'm Gregory, Lord Sugar.
06:08Hello, Gregory.
06:09I see you collect antiques.
06:12Indeed, Lord Sugar.
06:12And you're a cannon firer?
06:15So, it's quite a long story, Lord Sugar.
06:17I'll keep it short, then.
06:18I finished my bachelor's degree and I started a business in selling Victorian military uniforms.
06:24And I got a job as a professional cannon firer from that.
06:27And also, you're a Lib Dem candidate, right?
06:30I'm a councillor, I'm elected.
06:31It's good that you're here because you've finally got a chance you might win something.
06:37Okay, let's get down to business.
06:41I'm kicking things off with the ultimate task.
06:45I'm sending you to the magnificent Caribbean island of Antigua.
06:52Oh, my God!
06:53Wow.
06:54Wow.
06:55Oh, my God.
06:55Pre-COVID, the tourism industry was booming.
07:00But obviously, things were decimated by the pandemic.
07:05But the world's now open for business and it's on its way back.
07:08Your task is to set up and run a bespoke tour.
07:12You've got to sell tickets and give your clients an unforgettable experience.
07:18Now, the team that makes the most profit is going to win.
07:22And on the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
07:26So, very good luck.
07:27I'll see you back in the boardroom in a few days' time.
07:31Off you go.
07:31Thank you so much.
07:32Thank you so much.
07:35So exciting.
07:37Antigua, what the hell?
07:40Before take-off...
07:41I'm an accountant and I also have water sports apparel company as well.
07:46A chance to check in with the competition.
07:48So, I think I've got one of the best bridal boutiques in the UK.
07:52I've already got a million pound business that is close to reaching two million.
07:56Lord Sugar needs to be my next business partner so I can make him millions.
07:59Well, Antigua is my really big speciality.
08:03My motto is life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life.
08:09So, if you get wasted all the time, you'll have the time of your life.
08:17The Caribbean island of Antigua.
08:21Visited by hundreds of thousands each year.
08:23Excursions that tempt tourists can turn a pretty profit.
08:30Girls, look at the sea!
08:32Oh, look at the sea!
08:34Deciding who'll guide their team...
08:36All right, lads, welcome to Antigua.
08:38What a beautiful location.
08:40The boys.
08:41In terms of project manager, is anyone confident to step up and lead this one?
08:46I work in sales on a day-to-day basis.
08:52I think I'll be definitely strong selling.
08:53I've got quite a bit of experience in the historical tour industry, but I haven't been here before.
08:58Yeah, but in terms of project manager, million-dollar question, does anyone want to put themselves forward?
09:06All right, but if no one else is confident to do it, I'm happy to take this task on.
09:11I work as a safari guide in South Africa.
09:14Brilliant.
09:15Yeah, I love that.
09:16Awesome.
09:16Yep.
09:19Piloting the girls' team...
09:21On my layovers with the crew, we used to go on these exact tours.
09:25Former flight attendant Victoria takes the controls.
09:29I think we should go for the catamaran tour.
09:31I think as we're in Antigua, it's like luxury.
09:34You know, I think we should start off by trying to sell our tickets for 135 per person.
09:37I think it leaves us enough profit, but it also gives us some room to move down if we're struggling to sell.
09:42I think the lowest we can go is 100.
09:45But these are the minimums.
09:46Like, we shouldn't be selling the tickets at 100.
09:48We should be selling them at 135.
09:50So, is everyone happy with that?
09:52Yeah.
09:54So, I'm really happy that we're going to be doing the catamaran tour.
09:57I think that we're going to be able to sell this easily.
09:59We're in Antigua.
10:00If we can't sell a catamaran tour, then I don't even know what we're doing here.
10:03It says on here, the tour includes a pottery matter to class.
10:05We can also include snorkelling in it.
10:07I'm really happy with that.
10:08Yeah, I'm happy.
10:09Okay.
10:10With the historical tour, we've got the rum tasting masterclass.
10:14Planning to give their customers a crash course in Caribbean culture.
10:18Is everyone happy to rock and roll with this history and culture tour?
10:20Definitely.
10:20Yeah, definitely, yeah.
10:21Awesome.
10:22The boys pin down a price point.
10:25Are we happy if we hit a sort of mid-range of 150?
10:28I think we could actually come in at around about 250 towards $300.
10:33I do have a concern with overpricing like that, considering we've actually never been here.
10:40And the refunds.
10:41So I'm thinking about the refunds.
10:42As PM, I'm going to say we're going to start at 150.
10:46If we're getting towards the end of the day, we can drop it down to 100.
10:50I think that's bad business, to be completely honest with you.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Your project manager, I'll let you take the lead on this one.
10:56Of course.
10:57Debating where to tout their tickets.
11:02Pigeon Beach.
11:03I think Pigeon Beach is a pretty good one.
11:04I agree.
11:05The girls.
11:06I think it's going to be the location where people might be a little bit like, you know,
11:09they've been sat at the beach all day.
11:10It actually might be a nice thing for them to get up and actually go and do something tomorrow.
11:14Can I just say that I'm not happy with the beach.
11:15I think the airport would be a better location to sell lots of tickets.
11:19I definitely disagree with the airport.
11:20To be honest, usually when I come off a long flight, the last thing I want to do is talk to a ticket seller.
11:25I would go at St. John's Harbour.
11:27I do think there's too much competition, maybe at the harbour, and I just think there'll be people everywhere just trying to sell people the same thing.
11:33Should we take it to a vote about where we're going to be going?
11:35Who votes for selling at the beach?
11:38That's the majority.
11:39Yeah.
11:40I wouldn't have went with picking the beach.
11:44The last thing I want when I'm sunbiding is for someone to come to me selling tickets.
11:48I think if we all agree that we should sell at Pigeon Beach.
11:50Next, for project manager Joe, decide who pulls in punters...
11:57It's Simba.
11:58I'm happy with that.
11:59Sub-team leader.
12:00Cool.
12:00And who plots tomorrow's tour?
12:03Well, gentlemen, I used to live in Malta for three years and I used to fire cannons.
12:07I also used to take people down 28,000 square metres of underground tunnels as a tour guide.
12:12I'm very interested in heritage, so that's one of my strong points.
12:15So we're going to have Abi, Greg, myself and Sahal on the tour team.
12:22I would like Marnie to be the sub-team leader on the selling team, along with Danny, Emma, Shazia and Megan.
12:29So excited for the tours, everyone ready?
12:31And Tia!
12:33Woo!
12:3311am.
12:39Half of each team head off to haggle with their chosen attractions.
12:43I'm happy for you to take charge of the negotiation.
12:47Yep.
12:47Let's do it.
12:48Let's do it.
12:49The rest will find takers for their tours.
12:5316 tickets isn't that much to sell.
12:55Absolutely.
12:56I think we got this girl too.
12:57Are you confident?
12:58I am so confident.
12:58Are you confident?
12:59I'm confident.
13:00Yeah, we are.
13:01Look, we're all confident.
13:01We've got 16 tickets to sell, and we're just going to sell them together.
13:05Simple.
13:08Nelson's Dockyard.
13:11Once home to a naval hero.
13:14Today, a tourist hotspot, offering a glimpse into the past.
13:18Hi.
13:19Hi.
13:19Hi.
13:20Good afternoon.
13:21First job for Joe's boys.
13:23Negotiate a knockdown entry price.
13:26OK, so we want to bring 16 people.
13:28So what is your best deal that you guys can do for us?
13:31100 US?
13:31Per person.
13:35If we're able to sell out your tour and have full 16 people here, how much further are you
13:40willing to drop?
13:41Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 80, 85 is what we're looking at.
13:45Could we please shake on 70?
13:50I think we can maybe go a little bit lower.
13:52But 70 is a solid offer.
13:54If we have to.
13:55It's really hard.
13:56What are you saying, guys?
13:57Can we shake on that right now?
13:59All right, let's go with 75 for your tour, if you can sell it out, and 95 if you don't
14:03get to your full selling point.
14:05Yeah.
14:05Awesome.
14:05It's a deal.
14:06Excellent.
14:08They told the sales team not to go below $100, but they bought the tickets for 75, or
14:14possibly 95 if they don't sell them all.
14:17Bye.
14:17Where's the profit going to be made in $5 a ticket?
14:20What do you think?
14:21All right, I'm not going to lie.
14:21I thought we could have gone down a little bit more.
14:23I mean, $70, then looking at $1,000.
14:24You could have stepped in if you thought that I didn't want to risk disrespecting them.
14:28But if you thought you could have gone lower, you could have jumped in.
14:30But then the deal closed.
14:31You know, the deal closed.
14:31Right.
14:31And I think we could have pushed it a little bit more.
14:37Turner's Beach.
14:39One of Antigua's many snorkelling spots.
14:43I think what we'll do is maybe, Rochelle, if you get a little report going.
14:46Fishing for a deal on a scenic boat trip.
14:49And then I'll take over and start talking price.
14:52Project manager, Victoria.
14:55We just wanted to ask you what is involved in your tour and, you know, how much it would
15:00cost as well.
15:03So, our tour usually starts around $130 per person.
15:08But with you guys, I can do it a little bit better.
15:10Maybe like $95 per person.
15:13OK.
15:13Can you work with that?
15:14Yeah, so we were thinking, we don't want to go too high with our price.
15:17Is there any way you can come down just a little bit for us?
15:21I'll do $90.
15:22OK.
15:22$90 can work.
15:23Would you consider, would you consider, yeah.
15:23So we were thinking around, like, the $60 mark, maybe $65.
15:27I'll settle for $80.
15:28I'll settle for $80.
15:28And then if we sell all $60 in tickets, can we take it for $70?
15:32No.
15:33$75, Joyad.
15:34$75 a day.
15:35I really appreciate that.
15:38With the clear strategy, I didn't want to mention the price, like, straight away.
15:42And I think Rochelle, within her first sentence, mentioned price.
15:45And I feel like we could have built up a report and we could have then got the price down a little bit.
15:50So, yeah.
15:51Can I show you the catamaran?
15:53Yes.
15:53Yes.
15:54Thanks.
15:55Looks a little remote to me.
15:59Homing in on Pigeon Beach.
16:01I definitely think we're in a bit of a dead spot.
16:03The girls' sales team.
16:06It's not as busy as we'd hoped, but we're here now.
16:09Yeah.
16:09We all decided on the beach.
16:10We all agreed.
16:11Apart from me, I did say I thought the harbour would be a better place to pitch our sales.
16:14But look, we're here and we're going to remain positive.
16:16I also thought that the airport would be a better location.
16:19We also agreed, though, as a group, we all agreed the beach.
16:22Can we just move on quickly?
16:24What are we going to do?
16:24Because there's no point talking about what we should have done, what we could have done.
16:26We need to get this done.
16:27What is our plan?
16:29Guys, what we're going to do is we're going to walk down the beach,
16:31we're going to approach every single person we meet along the way,
16:34and we're going to try and get some sales.
16:35St John's, capital of Antigua.
16:42Go, let's do it.
16:43And setting base for the boys.
16:45We are hosting a fantastic historical tour, and we've got some rum tasting at the end.
16:50Playing the part of salesman, theatre school boss, Rhys.
16:55Susan, I'm just going to ask you this question.
16:57When was the last time you had a rum?
17:00They're asking the wrong one.
17:01I'm too total, but I'm really into history.
17:05So, normally we would charge 200 US dollars per person.
17:08For you, my lovely Scottish friend, what I can do is 150 per person.
17:12Could I please invite you both to come along and join us?
17:14Yes.
17:15Yes!
17:16Okay, thank you so much.
17:18I am happy.
17:20You know, first big sale of the day, and hopefully long may it continue.
17:23I will see you both tomorrow for the trip of a lifetime.
17:27All right, guys.
17:27Let's go.
17:28Brilliant.
17:29Well done, mate.
17:29Let's go.
17:31The price is $135.
17:34Still to make a sale.
17:36Oh, no, because I don't have time.
17:37Oh, that's so upsetting.
17:39Marnie's pigeon beach posse.
17:41Hi.
17:43How are you doing?
17:44Have you ever done the catamaran cruise before?
17:48Yes.
17:48I mean, I think I'm from 20 years.
17:50Yeah, so you're not going to be interested.
17:51So, thanks so much for your time.
17:54We thought that it was going to be a busy beach.
17:56That's what we expected.
17:57That's what we voted for.
17:59And I know, guys, I know you do.
18:02Guys, listen, listen, we need to keep going back to the point every single time you say we all voted for it because we didn't.
18:07But let's not keep going back to it.
18:08So, why are we at the beach if we didn't collectively unanimously decide it?
18:10Because the majority...
18:11Why are we wasting so much time talking about this?
18:13Let's go.
18:14So, stop bringing it up then every time I say we've arrived at the beach because we voted for the beach.
18:19Let's go.
18:19Let's go.
18:20Let's go.
18:23One, two, three, four.
18:25Mid-afternoon.
18:27One, two, three, four, five.
18:30For both teams...
18:32Woo-hoo!
18:34I hear you, baby!
18:35...a chance to learn all about the island...
18:37Woo-hoo!
18:40...before putting on tomorrow's trips.
18:43When you put on the tours, what's the bit that people get the most excited about?
18:46After we snorkel, the bar opens up for the alcoholic beverages.
18:51Oh!
18:51Yay!
18:53Do you have a traditional dance that gets done in for the Caribbean?
18:56Anything that moves the waistline.
18:58Yeah!
18:58Yeah!
18:59How do we do it?
19:00And it goes cent, five cent, ten cent, dollar.
19:04Yay!
19:06And then we only like big dollar notes, so it's dollar, dollar.
19:10LAUGHTER
19:114 p.m.
19:16So that's $150 for the tour tomorrow, OK?
19:17So just tap here, just there.
19:19Sales rep Simba secures a second deal for the boys.
19:22Thank you so much, Kelly.
19:23And we look forward to see you tomorrow.
19:25See you tomorrow.
19:25Having combed the beach for customers...
19:28Our price is $135.
19:30How does that sound?
19:31Have we got a deal?
19:31Of course.
19:32The girls' sales squad finally strike it lucky.
19:37Hello?
19:38Hi girls, you OK?
19:39We have managed to sell three tickets.
19:42Fab.
19:43It's really, really quiet here.
19:45It's not what we expected.
19:46So what we're going to do is we're going to change tactics.
19:48We're now going to move to a hotel where hopefully we can get some more people there and fill this boat up.
19:53Yeah, girls, I think it's definitely a good idea to move location if you're struggling there.
19:57Thanks, guys.
19:58See you soon.
19:59Bye.
20:00Bye.
20:01Bye.
20:02If the place is quiet, why would you not move straight away?
20:04Yeah.
20:05Why would you just hang around and think it's going to get busier?
20:06You'd move.
20:07Yeah.
20:085pm.
20:09Just to confirm, we've got two tickets at US$150 each.
20:12If you just want to tap your card on the end there.
20:14Yes.
20:15Bradley and Reece top up the boys' ticket sales.
20:17Could we do both of you guys at US$150?
20:20Oh, we'd love to.
20:22Yeah.
20:23We'd love to.
20:24But still searching for more sales.
20:29We'll go snorkelling and you'll also finish with a pottery class.
20:33Marnie's half of the girls.
20:36The price is $135 each.
20:39Is that something you guys would be interested in?
20:41Of course.
20:42Yeah?
20:43That sounds fantastic.
20:44Perfect.
20:46Well, we're so honoured that you've agreed to come on board with us literally tomorrow.
20:48Tomorrow?
20:49Yeah.
20:50We're busy with work tomorrow.
20:53And so we won't be able to attend.
20:55But...
20:56Next time.
20:57How about that?
20:58That's such a shame.
21:01Take care.
21:02You know, we should early on ask them if they're available tomorrow.
21:06Yeah.
21:07Because we're wasting time.
21:08Right, guys.
21:09We need to move on.
21:10Let's go.
21:11Let's go.
21:12Yeah.
21:136pm.
21:14OK.
21:15So, gentlemen, this is what we're doing.
21:1712.15, we start the tour.
21:20While cannon van Gregory marches the boys through tomorrow's tour...
21:24Around 13.05, we're going to the museum.
21:27The girls opt for a slower pace.
21:29I think if we do more stops, we're just going to over complicate.
21:32We're going to be rushing.
21:33Yeah.
21:34Yeah.
21:35And people want a relaxing time.
21:36We don't want to be rushing them from stop to stop.
21:38Yeah.
21:39And, like, giving them too much information.
21:40Yeah.
21:41I 100% agree.
21:42I hate going on a boat, wanting to relax and then being thrust into loads of different activities.
21:47Yeah.
21:48Yeah, I think it's a great idea.
21:49Really good.
21:537pm.
21:54Hello.
21:55Hello, people.
21:56Hey, guys.
21:57Hello.
21:58With 30 minutes to go...
21:59It's a historical tour.
22:00We're going to be viewing the Beastful Antigua and its history.
22:03Smooth-talking Simba looks to seal a deal.
22:07125, an extra bit of rum.
22:09That's a deal.
22:10What about you guys?
22:11They're all joining.
22:12No.
22:13From the hotel, we can get a guy for $75.
22:15I can't go that low.
22:16125 would be a nice thing.
22:17Okay, we're happy to drop it.
22:18I mean, let's get the sale.
22:19We'll drop yours and we'll drop yours.
22:21If you go to 100 and you go to 100, it's friends saving money.
22:24Would you be happy with that?
22:25Obviously, we have significantly dropped the price there.
22:28Let's get the sale done.
22:29Cheers, guys.
22:30We're going to see you tomorrow.
22:31You're going to have a fantastic time.
22:32Yeah.
22:34It's a bit of a shame that we had to drop the price a little bit.
22:36We have four tickets left.
22:37We need to drop the price.
22:38If we don't get these 16 tickets sold, so what do you want to do?
22:40I disagree because we did not need to drop that price so significantly.
22:44Not yet.
22:45Let me know.
22:46However, guys, we've got the sales.
22:49Let's move on.
22:51Let's go, girls.
22:52Let's go.
22:53Let's go.
22:54Five minutes till sales must cease.
22:56Come on.
22:57Come on.
22:58As the boys shift their final tickets.
23:00If all four of you can commit, we will do it for $400.
23:03Yes.
23:04Yes.
23:05Yes.
23:06Yes.
23:07With ten seats still to fill.
23:08The price is $120.
23:09We have a deal at $120 per person.
23:12Okay.
23:13Okay.
23:14The girls' prices plummet.
23:15I'll go for $110.
23:16Have we got a deal?
23:17All right.
23:18Sounds good.
23:19Amazing.
23:20Brilliant.
23:21Could we do $95 and it's a deal?
23:23$95 each.
23:24Yes.
23:25It is a deal.
23:26Brilliant.
23:27Amazing.
23:287.30pm.
23:29We've sold the 16 tickets.
23:30And we should be actually proud of ourselves, guys.
23:31All right.
23:32Selling over.
23:33Come on, girls.
23:34Let's go.
23:35We finally managed to bag 12 out of the 16 tickets that we had available.
23:41So, we're on a high now.
23:42And I feel really positive about tomorrow.
23:457am.
23:46Today, we're going to be on a high.
23:48We're going to be on a high.
23:49We're going to be on a high.
23:50We're going to be on a high.
23:51We're going to be on a high.
23:52We're going to be on a high.
23:53We're going to be on a high.
23:54We're going to be on a high.
23:557am.
23:56Today, both teams will run their excursions.
24:00Hi, girls.
24:01So, welcome back.
24:02I'm so excited that it's tour day.
24:04Touching base with his boys.
24:06We managed to successfully sell 16 tickets.
24:09Yes, boys.
24:10Project manager, Joe.
24:12Originally, obviously, we started at the 150.
24:15You know, you told us to sell for.
24:16Yeah.
24:17But I did go down to 125.
24:20Right.
24:21I felt personally...
24:22I had them around that price.
24:23But I think Mark then intervened and we dropped it to 100 quite quickly.
24:28Right, OK.
24:29We had five minutes left, 100, and we got the sales.
24:31And the other people heard that, the other four, and said,
24:33do you know what, we'll go in at 100.
24:35So, we got seven at that cost.
24:36Simple as that.
24:37I appreciate that.
24:38Dropping down to 100, obviously, that crunches on our numbers a little bit.
24:44Obviously, we negotiated that if we sold all 16 tickets,
24:47we'd be able to get it cheaper.
24:49How many did you sell?
24:51So, we didn't sell the 416.
24:54We sold 12.
24:58I definitely think the location was a challenge.
25:00Yeah.
25:01And had we chosen a different location, I think we could have sold a lot more.
25:04So, we had all agreed that the beach was better.
25:06I do still stand by.
25:07I didn't agree with the beach.
25:08I felt that they kept repeating the issue of location.
25:10Yeah.
25:11And I kept reminding that we won.
25:12We didn't keep repeating it.
25:13We didn't keep repeating it.
25:14We only, I only repeat myself when you kept highlighting.
25:15We all agreed on the beach.
25:16We were where we were.
25:17And it kept being a sort of, I told you so.
25:20Yeah.
25:21Only when you, only when you kept mentioning it.
25:23We can't like drag the team down and keep pointing out the negative.
25:26We have to all work together and get this job done.
25:28If we were to lose this task, Shazia and Emma are going to resort to saying,
25:34we should never have picked the beach.
25:36I was really glad that the other team could see the difficulties that I was facing yesterday,
25:40when they just wouldn't let it go.
25:42Let's do this.
25:43Let's go girls.
25:479am.
25:49Today, half of each team will run the tours.
25:52How much time they would have lost by focusing on,
25:55oh, we should have done this and should have done that and I told you so.
25:58Instead of actually going out there and selling tickets.
26:00The rest will partner up with local businesses to try and top up takings.
26:05I want Brad to lead it.
26:07Let's get the best possible commission on this room.
26:10Please remember, every penny counts.
26:13That sounds good.
26:17At Nelson's Dockyard.
26:19Hello, hello.
26:20Good afternoon, how is everyone today?
26:22Hi guys.
26:23Kicking off the boys tour.
26:24I'm Greg, so I'm going to be your main guide today.
26:27Antiques buff Gregory.
26:29So if you've got any historical questions, especially cannons,
26:32because I used to work as a professional cannon buyer,
26:34feel free to throw them out.
26:35Speed up.
26:36We'll make our way up the mountain into Fort Berkeley,
26:39come back down and we'll cover a couple of extra things.
26:42Come on ladies and gentlemen.
26:43Are we excited?
26:44Yes!
26:45So if you kindly follow me ladies and gentlemen,
26:47to the Dockyard Museum.
26:49On the boat tour.
26:50Can everyone hear me?
26:51Yes!
26:52Pushing to get the party started.
26:53So this is our first stop and this is Galley Bay.
26:54Salon owner, Rochelle.
26:55I've learned so much about the Caribbean culture, the dancing.
26:57Does everyone want to stand up and learn the dance that I learned?
27:02Everyone up!
27:03Everyone up!
27:04Let's get involved.
27:05And you want to thrust your hips forward.
27:06I've learned so much about the Caribbean culture, the dancing.
27:10Does anyone want to stand up and learn the dance that I learned?
27:15Everyone up!
27:16Everyone up! Let's get involved.
27:18You want to thrust your hips forward, and then you want to pop it to the right.
27:23And then you want to sit your bum out, and then pop it to the left.
27:27And you want to slowly get faster and faster and faster.
27:30Yay!
27:31I hope you've enjoyed our galley bay stop.
27:38Rochelle was in charge of the first stop, a beautiful bay.
27:41What did she do? Instead of explaining how beautiful it is, they decided to do a dance.
27:45This is supposed to be a guided tour.
27:47We're not going in too hard, and I think that's really nice. It's chill.
27:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:54So, if you kindly follow me, please.
27:56On the boys' history tour...
27:58This was the naval officer's quarters.
28:00Not afraid to ask burning questions.
28:03Gregory.
28:04Has anyone got an allergy to wool at all?
28:07Wool.
28:11No.
28:12The reason I bring up wool, imagine yourself here in the wonderful Caribbean.
28:15You're dressed up in this really coarse woolen uniform.
28:18It's itchy, it's scratchy, and you know what?
28:20I'm allergic to wool, and you're a little bit stuck, aren't you?
28:23The significance about this, ladies and gentlemen, life was hard here in the Caribbean.
28:28These are things we really need to sort of be mindful of.
28:3111am.
28:37Planning to sell pottery at the end of their tour.
28:39So, I would like Megan to go in the negotiation. I want her to leave.
28:43The girls pin their hopes on a healthy commission.
28:46So, I'm thinking we go in at around the 35% mark.
28:49I do think when it comes down to commissions, on stuff like this, you're never going to get anywhere near 35%.
28:55Can we meet in the middle and maybe go to, like, 30% service?
28:58I think that would be sensible, because Megan is the one that's going to be leading this.
29:01So, you need to do what's comfortable for you.
29:05Guys, I'm not going to take a vote. I'm going to instruct this, and I'm going to ask that you go in 35%.
29:09I do have confidence that you can deliver that in a non-insulting way.
29:17Hi, hello. Morning.
29:19Pushing for a tasty deal on the local tipple.
29:22We've got a tour running. What we're looking to do is sell them some of your beautiful room.
29:26Construction man, Bradley.
29:28Usually, what do you do as a commission split?
29:31We normally start our commissions at somewhere between 5% to 7%.
29:37What I would say is if we can do a 25% commission split on that, that would be absolutely fantastic for us.
29:4515.
29:4617.
29:5117, yeah, okay.
29:53That's a deal then. Thank you very much.
29:56Can I just point out something?
29:5825%.
29:59She started, she wasn't sure about it, so I knew that there was 20% on off and we were going to take it, and fortunately you went 17.
30:05It is a good deal, I do think, genuinely think that, and that's the reason why, obviously, you know.
30:10I do still think there was a little bit of wiggle room, but fingers crossed for this 3%, it's not going to cost us a task.
30:15Charged with sealing the deal on ceramics.
30:22You're obviously amazed at what you do.
30:24Sweets boss, Megan.
30:25So we were thinking of coming in at sort of the 35% mark on commission.
30:33Sounds extremely generous.
30:34I'm not sure I'm feeling that generous today.
30:37What sort of price mark were you thinking at?
30:38I'm feeling 2%ish.
30:412%ish, okay.
30:42Anything below, $50.
30:44I'm shaving at one for the high-end stuff.
30:48Right, okay.
30:49How about 12% and then 8%?
30:54I can do 10% and 7 on the bigger end.
30:58That's it.
30:59Okay, we'll take it because we're going to sell enough quantity anywhere to make it worth our while and your while, sir.
31:03Here we go, the deal.
31:04Okay.
31:05Yeah.
31:06Obviously, starting at 35, they knew that was absurd.
31:08I think common sense would have dictated they should have started a bit lower.
31:11But I think in the end, they did the deal that's not great, but it probably was the best that they could do.
31:16So, obviously, his face was a little bit shocked when we came in at 35%, which I did think would happen.
31:23Okay, guys, are we ready to go snorkelling?
31:25Yeah!
31:26Off we go!
31:29While the girls focus on photo ops.
31:32Caribbean thing!
31:33Woo!
31:35Taking the reins from history buff Gregory.
31:38Let's go then, guys, follow me this way.
31:40Martial arts man, Sohail.
31:43This place houses Antigua's finest desserts.
31:46Feel free to go on up and have a look at the desserts that are on offer.
31:50I was wondering if they still use the old methods.
31:54Yeah, absolutely.
31:55I'm not a baker at all, so cooking is my worst thing, if anything.
31:58So, but obviously, you know, you have people in there who can always ask, and they do have lots of signs all over the place.
32:02Yeah.
32:03It will give you a lot of information on how everything works.
32:04Yeah.
32:05So we should just read the sign instead?
32:06Read the sign.
32:07Okay.
32:08Let's check it.
32:09Sohail was asked to deliver the facts and figures on the bakery.
32:13Someone asked him a question.
32:14He said, well, just read the signs.
32:16I mean, that's not what you expect from a high quality tour guide.
32:19Right.
32:20Follow us, guys.
32:21Cool.
32:22And we'll take you to Fort Berkeley.
32:23Let's do it.
32:24On the girls tour.
32:25Can we have everyone down?
32:26Hi, everyone.
32:27Sorry, we're just going to make our way down to the beach.
32:29Charged with pushing photos to sell at the end of the tour.
32:32Follow us.
32:34Financial controller Denisha.
32:36The beach is really known for its beautiful white powder sand.
32:40We're going to take some lovely pictures of you.
32:42But, yeah, that's it.
32:49Right.
32:50Should we get some pictures?
32:51Who wants some pictures?
32:52I think this is a beautiful backdrop.
32:54Okay.
32:55Are we ready?
32:56Gorgeous.
32:57And then this one's going to be great.
32:58Go, go, go.
32:59Woo!
33:00That's it.
33:01Oh, lovely.
33:02Yay.
33:03This is memories, guys.
33:05You're going to have these memories for a lifetime.
33:09That was meant to be Denisha's stop.
33:10But she didn't give any direction to the couples.
33:13And I felt like I had to step up to the mark.
33:15If I didn't, we wouldn't have any pictures.
33:17And there wouldn't be any sales.
33:18One, two, three.
33:20Antica!
33:21Woo!
33:24Arriving at Fort Berkeley.
33:26Take in the surroundings.
33:27Beautiful view from here.
33:29Project manager Joe leads from the front.
33:32This is a fortress that was constructed in 1704.
33:37Could you tell us what we're looking out on?
33:45Um...
33:46So, we're looking out at the Atlantic Ocean.
33:48But I'm not exactly sure what...
33:53What exactly is...
33:54Okay.
33:55Is there.
33:56Yeah.
33:57What sort of defences would a fort like this have had?
33:59I was going to say...
34:01Well, the range of the cannons and carronades differ.
34:04You could probably go for around 700, 800 metres.
34:06Really depends on the charge.
34:08This particular example is loaded from the muzzle.
34:10It's what we call a muzzle loader.
34:11You'd usually have a crew of six to eight.
34:13And they would usually vary in firing times depending on training.
34:16But perhaps you could probably get it down to, let's say,
34:19around every two minutes.
34:21Wow.
34:22And that's pretty much it.
34:25Literally overnight, Gregory has learned all the facts and figures
34:28of this stockyard.
34:29And he is delivering with knowledge and with confidence.
34:32Everybody seems to be enjoying it.
34:34I think he's doing a really good job.
34:36I think we're living up to their expectations with you as being a historian.
34:39I love the cannon tour.
34:435pm.
34:44One part sour, two part sweet.
34:46While Simba's boys research rum.
34:49Four part week, five part spice.
34:51Back on dry land.
34:53So, thank you for being a great guest on our Cat of a Run cruise.
34:57The girls' guests.
34:58Parttering! Parttering! Parttering!
35:01Get crafty.
35:03We're basically going to paint the fish that we have in front of us.
35:06And we have decided to turn it into a competition.
35:09Are you ready?
35:11Yes!
35:12Three, two, one, go!
35:17We've got a shark over here.
35:18Yeah.
35:19We've got a rainbow over there.
35:21I know!
35:22I see you.
35:23OK, guys, we need to start wrapping it up now because we need to pick a winner.
35:27Three, two, one, go!
35:30Thank you!
35:31I'm really, I'm loving the rainbow fish.
35:34I think we should have a dance off.
35:36Ready?
35:37Let's go!
35:38Antigua!
35:39Antigua!
35:40Antigua!
35:41Antigua!
35:42I'm feeling really good about the fact that we gave a really high energy pottery session.
35:47Very, very, very confident that there'll be no refunds.
35:49Antigua!
35:50Woo!
35:51John is the winner.
35:53Well done, John!
35:54We have an English Harbour five-year-old rum.
35:55At the boys' rum tasting...
35:56This has been matured in the bourbon oak American casset.
36:10A more sedate approach.
36:12So what's like the difference between a rum and a bourbon if they're made in the same,
36:17you know, casks or whatever?
36:19OK, so rums are made from sugar cane spirits.
36:25The barrels that we use are ex-bourbon though.
36:28So they would have been filled with bourbon before and then they would come to the Caribbean
36:32and then we will fill them with rum.
36:34OK, perfect.
36:35Great.
36:36Yeah.
36:37How long does it take to make?
36:39I believe this one takes about 30 days and so this one isn't matured.
36:43So the five-year-old ages for five years in a barrel, then it goes into a big blending
36:48vat and it stays there for 30 days marrying and then we bottle it.
36:52Then we're going to move on and start to declare how we would make a rum punch.
36:57With one hour till coaches depart.
37:00We have some amazing pottery here.
37:03It is all handmade.
37:04A final push to boost profits.
37:07So one bottle with the two bitters for 40 US dollars.
37:10Sold.
37:11Sold.
37:12This one here, I love this one.
37:13Would you like to go for that one?
37:14I'll go for that one.
37:15Yeah.
37:16Would it be just those two images for you?
37:17Yes.
37:18Great, so that's going to be two for $20.
37:19We can do two for $10.
37:20Yes.
37:21Yes.
37:22That's two for $10 each, so $20.
37:24That's $35.
37:25If I can get you to pop your card in for me.
37:27So that would be $40, please.
37:28That's a cost of $110 today, is that all right?
37:31Is that a deal?
37:32Fantastic.
37:33That's all going through.
37:34Perfect.
37:35There we go.
37:36Pleasure doing business with you guys.
37:39If you enjoyed today, we would massively appreciate a tip.
37:437pm.
37:44Oh, thank you so much.
37:45Thank you so much.
37:46Thank you so much.
37:47Tours complete.
37:49As soon as the guests arrived, we were so high-spirited, and we literally continued
37:54that through the whole day, so I think going into that boardroom, I am feeling a little
37:57bit more confident than I was earlier today.
37:59So, guys, well done, okay?
38:00And let's get to that boardroom, and hopefully we've got the win, yeah?
38:03Yeah.
38:04What's up, boys?
38:05I think the guests looked like they really enjoyed it.
38:08I had a great time, and, yeah, I think it went really well.
38:11And...
38:12Jesus!
38:13Tonight, takings will be totaled, and refunds reviewed.
38:21Tomorrow's trip to the boardroom.
38:31You can go through to the boardroom now.
38:34Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
38:53So, I sent you to Antigua.
38:56I know that it was very hot over there.
39:00It's going to get even hotter in this boardroom, I can assure you.
39:03The other thing I can assure you is that one of you would be gone
39:06before your postcards get back to England.
39:08Now, the boys' team.
39:10Joe, you turned out to be the project manager.
39:13Yes, that's right, Portugal.
39:15What tour did you decide to run?
39:17I was quite keen to go for the history and culture tour.
39:21That hits right in the centre of Greg's Venn diagram.
39:26Oh, Greg?
39:27Yeah, he was brilliant.
39:28I heard about you, Greg, and your tours.
39:30Someone said you had the personality of Siri.
39:37Yeah.
39:38OK.
39:39So, you negotiated the group entry price.
39:42Yeah.
39:43I think you ended up with $75.
39:45Yeah.
39:47If you sold the whole 16.
39:49That's right.
39:50And 95 if you didn't, right?
39:51Yeah.
39:52Yeah.
39:53Can I let you into a little secret?
39:54Yeah.
39:55Please.
39:56Karen spoke to the vendor afterwards and said they would have gone down to 55.
39:59Right.
40:00So, it weren't very good negotiation.
40:02I was happy with the negotiation.
40:04The only thing I would have...
40:05Really?
40:06I was...
40:07I'm hearing now that he could have gone down to 55.
40:10Obviously, that would have been better.
40:13I saw a note saying that you didn't want to be disrespectful to them.
40:18Yes.
40:19Yeah.
40:20And therefore, you didn't want to offer even less because it might have been embarrassing.
40:23This is a business.
40:24Yeah.
40:25Right?
40:26There's no such thing as embarrassing.
40:28OK.
40:29You're overpaid anyway.
40:30Overpaid.
40:31OK.
40:32All right.
40:33Moving on from there then.
40:35Simba, I heard that you sold three tickets at $125.
40:44Mark stepped in and reduced the price to $100.
40:47Yeah.
40:48Why did you do that?
40:50That's not the case, Lord Sugar.
40:51I think it is.
40:52The woman in front of me said, why would I pay $125 when I can get it for $75?
40:57Honestly, Lord Sugar, that gentleman was going to lock in at $125.
41:01And then before I even finished my sentence, Mark stepped in and said $100.
41:06And obviously, I had to go with that.
41:09All right.
41:10So, let's move on to day two.
41:13Now, Simba, you and your team went off to do the rum negotiation.
41:19So, I'll kind of step in here.
41:21We were up 25%.
41:23She was slightly hesitant.
41:25And unfortunately, Simba jumped in with a 17%, which she quickly agreed on.
41:31Actually, what happened there...
41:32Did this cause a little bit of conflict between Bradley and yourself?
41:36Yeah, obviously, it was a disagreement definitely there.
41:39I think 70% from my perspective was bang on.
41:42I know it might not be the help that Bradley wanted, but it was certainly the help that we needed.
41:46Hmm.
41:47All right.
41:48So, tell me about the tour.
41:51We did visit quite a number of locations.
41:53The purpose of the tour was so people would be happy and entertained.
41:56And I would say that from the tips which we encountered at the end...
41:59Yeah, you got some tips, did you?
42:00We did get some tips.
42:01Bloody hell.
42:02I have to say, Alan, that Gregory, you were the best of the group.
42:07The other three, I think you were largely lost.
42:09Mm-hmm.
42:10Yeah.
42:12Okay.
42:13Let's move on to the girls' team.
42:16So, for your tour, you decided on the catamaran, right?
42:20Yes.
42:21Yeah.
42:22Now, tell me what price you decided to sell your tickets at.
42:25So, I'd set the price at 135.
42:27Right.
42:28So, where did you ladies decide to sell these tickets then?
42:31So, we went to Pigeon Beach.
42:33That was our first location.
42:34We arrived there and there was very few people on the beach.
42:39I did say, though, Lord Sugar, at the beginning, that the beach might not be the best location.
42:45I thought that maybe an airport might be better, just in terms of footfall.
42:50The reason why I didn't want to go to the harbour.
42:52If I may, Lord Sugar, I have to say, it was a constant battle of Shazia and Emma reminding us that they never wanted to go to the beach.
43:00Yeah, but they only, they were only reminding you because you constantly kept bringing up that it was like a unanimous decision.
43:07I said that it wasn't.
43:08Wait, let me finish.
43:09It was a unanimous decision that everybody wanted to go to the beach.
43:12And in fairness to them, they were just defending themselves saying, don't put that on everyone.
43:16And we argued loads during the day and wasted a lot of selling time.
43:19Well, according to Claude, it was one big, long bickering session.
43:23It was.
43:24Marie, to be honest.
43:25That was very true.
43:26And I did continuously remind the girls that the only way we're going to lose this task is if we don't work as a team.
43:30No one else was allowed to speak throughout the day.
43:32Hang on a second.
43:33Excuse me.
43:34Yeah.
43:35What you're seeing now is exactly what happened on tour.
43:36Yeah.
43:37Bickering, arguing, no consensus amongst them.
43:39Yeah.
43:40Do you know what?
43:41I agree, Claude.
43:42No one else was allowed to actually have a word.
43:43Hang on.
43:44You're one of the culprits.
43:45I know, but it was Marnie mostly being negative throughout the day and the rest of the girls can agree on that.
43:48That's not accurate.
43:49OK.
43:50So, who led the negotiation with the vendor of the catamaran?
43:54Myself and Victoria.
43:55Right.
43:56And so what did you end up with?
43:58$75 if we sold out the entire tour, but $80 per ticket if it wasn't all tickets sold.
44:07Not a bad penalty, $5.
44:09These mugs here agreed to pay $20 more if they didn't sell their tickets, but I think they did sell all their tickets in the end.
44:17Yeah.
44:18You sold 12 tickets out of 16.
44:21Correct.
44:22Why did you only sell 12 tickets?
44:23I think so much time was wasted just speaking to people that weren't qualified.
44:27I think also they were, by the sounds of things, just scrapping.
44:31Hmm.
44:32Now, I think the plan for the catamaran was let's just have fun.
44:39And all the dancing and all that stuff.
44:41Is that right?
44:42Yes.
44:43Lord Sugar.
44:44And everyone had a good time.
44:45Claude, I hear you were feeling a little bit sick even before the boat set sail.
44:49Is that right?
44:50Yes, it's true.
44:51Yeah, yeah.
44:52And even got even more sick when they started dancing.
44:54Yeah?
44:55Yeah.
44:56It was a sight to behold.
44:57Yeah.
44:58So, the other part of the tour was the pottery shop.
45:01I suggested we go in 35.
45:03The girls, obviously, dissented from that and all said we should go in lower.
45:06Well, I think the owner of the shop dissented to it immediately, saying they normally offer
45:10one or two percent.
45:12It was very daunting to go in at 35 percent, but I'd been instructed by my sub-team leader.
45:17It was like you were a bull in a china shop.
45:20So, I think I handled it the best I could.
45:22Yeah.
45:23Erm, okay.
45:25Well, I think it's time now to see how everyone has done.
45:30So, we'll start off with Claude.
45:33Can you tell me what the total spend was for your team?
45:36Well, the total spend for the girls was $960.
45:40What about the total ticket sales, pottery, photos and all that stuff?
45:45They took $1,447.50.
45:48Any refunds?
45:50Well, no refunds.
45:53So, their profit came to $487.50.
45:56Karen, same question for you.
45:59Well, Alan, the boys spent a lot more, $1,200.
46:03And when it came to ticket sales, you know, the rum, the commission and photos,
46:08they actually made a lot more, $2,189.
46:13Any refunds?
46:15Well, refunds...
46:17Erm...
46:19They didn't have any refunds.
46:21Which gave them an overall profit of $989.
46:25Yes.
46:26Yes.
46:27Yes.
46:28Well done, Alan.
46:29So, erm...
46:30Well done, gentlemen.
46:32Erm...
46:33I've organised a brilliant house for you.
46:35And to welcome you to your new home, there's a drinks reception.
46:39Okay?
46:40Off you go.
46:41Thank you so much.
46:42Thank you so much.
46:51Well, ladies, I'm going to send you off to have a chat amongst yourself,
46:56and then I'm going to bring you back into this boardroom and be under no illusion.
47:00At least one of you will be going home today.
47:03Okay?
47:04Off you go.
47:06Let's go.
47:07Oh, no way!
47:10Oh, it's warm.
47:12I think the boys team work well together, especially seeing the girls in the boardroom today.
47:17I think we're quietly confident for next week.
47:19Ooh!
47:20Nice.
47:21This is so bad.
47:22Who's going to mention the elephant in the room?
47:23That was so bad, it was good.
47:25I feel great about winning the first task.
47:27The fact that I was sub-team leader and took us to victory, I think, is a fantastic way to start off.
47:34Oh, no!
47:35Wow.
47:36There's a bar as well.
47:37Oh, this is neat, isn't it?
47:38Wow.
47:39This is your own private cinema.
47:41I think Lord Sugar was joking when he called me Siri, because honestly,
47:44if the people didn't enjoy it at all, we wouldn't have got $75 in tips.
47:47Gentlemen.
47:48The disruptors were Emma and Shazia.
47:58It was, I told you so, we shouldn't have picked this.
48:01That's not true.
48:02Do you want to put your fingers at me and Shazia?
48:04Guys, it was like this all day.
48:06I'm literally...
48:07Marnie just spent the day bickering and kept going back to the same point where I had to keep explaining myself,
48:11and that's where the negativity came in among the team.
48:14Had you not have wasted all of that time, you probably would have sold tickets.
48:18I've only gotten those sales.
48:19You wasted the time.
48:20Bring me in, then.
48:21I think if Victoria actually was a decent project manager, she would have been on the sales team,
48:26because sales is the foundation of building any single business.
48:30So, with the negotiation for the pottery, the boys, on their negotiation, managed to get 17%.
48:35We went in far too high.
48:37I will say, though, that he wasn't insulted.
48:40He was. Did you not see his face?
48:42He wasn't insulted at all.
48:44Had my team got behind me and supported their leader as they should have,
48:48then this would have had a very different outcome.
49:00Could you send the candidates in, please?
49:03The boys wiped the floor with you in every category.
49:21They sold more tickets, they got more commission, they got tips.
49:26I just don't know what to do.
49:29I don't know what to say, quite honestly.
49:32Personally, I think I led the team on my half well.
49:36I was quite disgraced to hear the girls had even been shouting at each other on the beach.
49:40I thought it was really unprofessional.
49:42May I speak, Lord Sugar?
49:43Yeah, you can speak.
49:44I think it's very important if you have an opinion, you put it forward.
49:47So we were standing on the beach and Marnie turned around.
49:48Yeah, once.
49:49Yeah, no, once, absolutely.
49:50Yeah, once.
49:51But in the first five minutes of this task, according to Claude, you were arguing and covering your arse.
49:56Oh, no, I didn't want to go to the beach.
49:58Oh, I think we should have gone to the airport.
49:59Oh, I think we should have gone somewhere else.
50:01I would think we shouldn't...
50:02And you kept banging on and banging on about it all the time.
50:05That's the only time I ever said I didn't agree with the beach was when you said we all agreed with it
50:10because I can't stand among a group and say I agreed with the beach when that initial morning, among all of you, I said I didn't.
50:16Emma, my reference to we all agreed to the beach was the collective opinion that we all agreed on at the first initial meeting.
50:23In respect to the ticket sales, there was only 12 tickets sold.
50:28I think there was more people on the Mary Celeste, actually.
50:32Um, Danny and Marnie, you didn't sell anything.
50:36The reason we didn't actually manage to sell anything, Lord Sugar, was actually I genuinely believed down to opportunity and not our sales ability.
50:42We...
50:43The difference between our technique and perhaps yours was that we moved on very quickly when we realised that they weren't...
50:50But if you wouldn't have caused the most disruption at the start and earlier the task, you would have had that extra time at the end
50:55and maybe Danny and Marnie would have had the opportunity, i.e. the time, to make them sales.
50:59The girls on the team didn't say that, Victoria.
51:02They have. They haven't.
51:03Megan has said that. We did.
51:05So it's me and Shazia and Marnie's not included in that.
51:08I was the sub-team leader and that what just happened there, as you just observed, is exactly what I was facing every day.
51:14I think perhaps...
51:15Are you a bad leader of people then? You couldn't keep them under control or what?
51:18I'm not a bad leader of people, Lord Sugar. Emma in particular and Shazia in particular were hell-bent on pushing their own agendas.
51:27No.
51:28Yes, that's correct.
51:29I was just really interested in selling tickets basically and I really did try my very best to sell tickets.
51:35Shazia, you reduced the price for the tickets to 95 when you'd clear instructions to say at 135.
51:40I saw three tickets for 95 right at the very end.
51:44OK, I've had enough of listening to this.
51:47Victoria, which two people are you bringing back?
51:49Emma for the disruption and Marnie just for the lack of leadership.
51:53OK, the rest of you go off to this house and I'll see you on the next task.
51:59Thank you very much.
52:05I'm going to ask you to step outside and I'm going to consult with Claude and Karen.
52:11And when you come back in, at least one of you will be leaving the process today, OK?
52:16Thank you very much.
52:24Well, what do you think about these three?
52:27If only Emma had just calmed down. She bickered all the time and that made the task very, very difficult for them.
52:33Hmm. Marnie?
52:35Marnie's job was pretty simple. Go and sell 16 tickets for a fantastic day out.
52:41She only sold 12 tickets. She lost control of the team and it's cost them the task.
52:46Hmm. What about Victoria?
52:48Look, Alan, Victoria knew on the morning of the second day that there was a disruptive team.
52:53She could have done a switch, but she chose not to and I think that's a mistake on her part.
52:57Hmm. Well, thanks for that.
52:59I'll bring them back in and I'm going to decide which one of them is going to leave the process.
53:05Could you send the three of them in, please?
53:09One of the reasons that you didn't sell what you're supposed to sell is because you wasted bloody time arguing amongst each other.
53:27It's absolutely ridiculous.
53:31Victoria, you must have known that there was trouble in this sub team and you had the opportunity on day two of swapping it out and calming the storm.
53:43Why didn't you do that?
53:45Because I wasn't entirely sure exactly who was disruptive and I do believe that...
53:50Well, it was a mistake, don't you think?
53:52Yes, Lord Sugar, and in hindsight now, I think if I'd have known the extent of the disruption, it could have been a possibility to swap the teams around.
54:00I was making...
54:01Marnie.
54:02Yes, Lord Sugar.
54:03You were tasked to sell the tickets.
54:06Yes.
54:07Just explain to me why you think you didn't sell all 16.
54:11We were in a poor location, but the constant barrage of repeating that was not productive.
54:17It led to further disruption and...
54:19Oh, OK, but I hear what you're saying about people moaning.
54:23I wouldn't have come here, I wouldn't have come here, I told you not to come here, told you not to come here, told you not to do this, told you not to do...
54:28The fact was you were there.
54:30Yes.
54:31What did the disruption stop you doing?
54:33I wasn't able to implement the way I would have liked to have done things.
54:37Had we had that cohesion, we would have moved a lot faster, we would have got...
54:40Realistically, it all comes down to we should have been in a different location...
54:44What location do you think you should have sold those four tickets?
54:47If you didn't like...
54:48I'm going to hold my hands up and say definitely the disruption there, if we hadn't moved a bit faster and got to the bar sooner.
54:55But I think in saying that, Marnie spent ten minutes talking to this couple, didn't qualify the prospect and then by the end of it they said, we're actually not available tomorrow.
55:04That ten minutes could have actually been spent in that bar and we could have got four extra sales then.
55:09Who should be fired from this task then?
55:11Emma Lord Sugar.
55:12And if she was to continue in this process, this would only happen again.
55:15Victoria, who do you think should be fired?
55:17I would say Emma Lord Sugar.
55:19And Emma, just give me your opinion.
55:22I'd say both of them.
55:23I'd fire both of them right now if I was in your position.
55:25Both of them?
55:26Yeah.
55:27Tell you what Emma, you wanted to be a leader without putting yourself forward as a leader and giving yourself that attack.
55:32So it's easy for you to sit there and try and scapegoat, but you didn't put yourself forward as a leader.
55:37Right, listen ladies, I've had enough of this talk about bickering.
55:41My ears are ringing from this constant arguing here.
55:45I'm going to summarise and I don't want to hear any more from any of you.
55:50Marnie, your brain should have said to you, the only way we're going to win this is if we sell all 16 tickets and you didn't.
55:58Emma, I'm going to take half of what I've blamed Marnie for of not selling these tickets.
56:05Simple task really, sell 16 tickets.
56:12But Victoria, you were the project manager and I'm kind of torn here at the moment.
56:19I think I demonstrated...
56:20Yeah, I don't want to hear any more.
56:22I think I'm torn here at the moment.
56:24Emma, no smoke without fire.
56:30Everybody has said you're a disruptor.
56:35But, Marnie, you lost control of your team.
56:40That's the bottom line, right?
56:42That's the bottom line.
56:43And, you know, it's quite regretful.
56:47But, someone has to go.
56:52And I think what tops it all for me is disruption.
56:57And so, Emma, I'm sorry to say, you're fired.
57:02Thank you, Lord Sherlock.
57:03Thank you, Karen.
57:04And thank you, Claude, for the opportunity.
57:06Thank you so much.
57:13You two are not glowing examples of the calibre of candidate that I expect in this process.
57:24Off you go, you two.
57:25Thank you, Lord Sherlock.
57:27I didn't agree that the beach was a good decision, and it just really wasn't.
57:34And, in the end, that's why I went home.
57:36But, fair enough, that's the decision Lord Sugar made.
57:40And, look, I am grateful for the opportunity.
57:42So, whose fault was it?
57:44It all came down to the disruption that we had to face,
57:48because it just wasted so much time.
57:50So, who do you think is going to come back through that door?
57:53I don't know.
57:54I can't call it.
57:55I actually can't call it.
57:56I'm going to say, Emma's coming back.
57:58You think?
57:59Ooh!
58:00Ooh!
58:01Ooh!
58:02Ooh!
58:03Ooh!
58:04So, tell us what happened.
58:10Like, you really have to back yourself on, like, why you deserve to be in this process.
58:13He said he was so disappointed in me.
58:15All that said, though, girls, you're still not beating the boys on the next task.
58:18Now, 17 candidates remain.
58:24The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner has begun.
58:31Next time...
58:32You're going to create bowel buns.
58:34Jesus.
58:35They're just splitting.
58:36Temperatures rise.
58:37He did not.
58:38We did.
58:39We're wasting time.
58:40Sales fall.
58:41Try one of our exotic bowel buns.
58:44No, thanks.
58:45And, in the boardroom...
58:46You didn't listen to your colleagues.
58:49A sticky ending.
58:50You're fired.
58:54Emma will be disrupting BBC Two next tonight with Tom Allen in The Apprentice.
58:59You're fired.
59:00Think you could do better yourself?
59:02Go online and apply for the next series of The Apprentice, and I'll be introducing you next year.
59:16Last year.
59:18Last year.
59:19We were here.
59:20Look at the town area today.
59:21Last year.
