00:00You're fired. You've completely messed it up. You're fired.
00:12Previously on The Apprentice...
00:14You are going to have to source nine items associated with the Isle of Wight.
00:20Yeah, I've just got a couple of questions that were just struggling.
00:22Levi had a slow start.
00:24Do you know what a bird's nest is?
00:26No.
00:27Ah!
00:28And Kieran turned on the charm.
00:30Fifteen. And you can have your basket back as well.
00:34Right, let's go.
00:35But a last-minute deal...
00:36We got the swing!
00:38...sealed Levi the win.
00:40A total of £614.07.
00:43Well done.
00:44Leaving Harry...
00:45You should have walked away and found another vendor.
00:47All at sea.
00:49You're fired.
00:567pm.
00:58Final nine.
00:59I can't call it right now. I think there's a lot of good, strong candidates here.
01:02Still nine people.
01:03Game's on.
01:04Game is on.
01:05It feels like more of a fight now. I can't lie to you.
01:08Everyone has to step up to the plate. Like, you literally cannot hide.
01:12Oh, text.
01:14Oh, it's from Lord Sugar.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:16What do you think he's going to be?
01:18Let's play this.
01:19Good evening.
01:21Good evening. I'm sorry to interrupt your downtime.
01:51But I wanted to let you know about your next task.
01:54The team that generates the most money from sales will win, and on the losing team, at least one of
02:01you will be fired.
02:02And by the way, I will be watching your every move.
02:06Oh, no.
02:06Oh, my God.
02:07And because this is a sales task, I want to see you all selling.
02:12All of us.
02:12There's nowhere to hide.
02:14Yeah.
02:14So, good luck. I'll see you in the boardroom in a couple of days.
02:17So, it's different this year. Everyone's selling.
02:20Everyone's got to get on the telly. And just to know that there's, like, thousands of people watching you, like,
02:24so that there's no room for messing up.
02:26Yeah.
02:26I can't wait. I've been looking forward to this one.
02:28Good luck.
02:28I'm very excited.
02:358am.
02:36Looking forward to this task, ladies.
02:38Yeah.
02:38I'm excited.
02:39Eight hours till teams go live.
02:41There's only one reason why I'm dressed up like this today, guys. I'm ready. I'm ready to be PM.
02:46Pushing for the part of project manager.
02:48I sell people skills for a living, and, yeah, I'm ready to take on the role.
02:54Pasha.
02:56I also want to put myself forward as PM, because this is where my experience lies. As a consultant on
03:01social media, a big part of that was live TV selling and live selling on TikTok.
03:06I mean, because of your experience, Karishma, I have to go with the skillset I'm going to have to save
03:10for you.
03:11Likewise, I feel exactly the same. You've put together a very compelling case.
03:15I do get it, but even with your knowledge, it can be implemented with me being project manager.
03:20That's just my opinion, and I know it's hard for me just because I'm really passionate about this.
03:27To make this fair, then, as Pasha has in BPM, I think this will be a good opportunity for her
03:31to learn from you.
03:32And I'm so, so keen to be project manager if you're happy with that.
03:37As long as we win, I actually, I don't care what that's going on.
03:40We rely on everyone's experience and expertise to share knowledge, and that's what it's all about as well.
03:44Absolutely.
03:46Karishma clearly has experience in this field.
03:48However, Lawrence and Priya, she was swayed by the fact that Pasha hasn't been project manager and would like to
03:53give it a go.
03:54I mean, frankly, that's really not a good enough reason.
03:57They should have gone with the more experienced person.
04:00I'm excited.
04:03Across the hall...
04:05Who shall I be handing the crown to for project manager?
04:08Keen to call the shots, Conor.
04:10I'm happy to put myself forward.
04:12I have experience in livestream and obviously in the selling in the market, I did quite well.
04:16I would also like to put myself forward.
04:18I sell for a living.
04:19I've proven myself selling in this process.
04:21But ultimately, this is also about the products we select.
04:24We have to keep in mind who's watching the show.
04:26However, it does come down to sales, techniques, tactics.
04:29I have almost ten years' experience in selling.
04:32Live selling at all, or...?
04:34I do a lot of video work.
04:35I feel we're wasting a bit of time.
04:37I have done social media livestreaming for...
04:40All right, shall we go to a vote, Kieran?
04:44Conor it is. Conor it is.
04:46Bravo.
04:48I'm feeling confident.
04:49Today is about TV selling and I have experience in live selling.
04:53I wasn't going to hide in the shadows any longer.
04:54I think the time to put yourself forward is now.
04:57I've got to say I'm happy that you're project manager,
04:59because I think you're the best man of the job here.
05:05I feel like the money is going to be in the beauty products, personally.
05:09Putting forward her plan...
05:10And the kids and teens, that's where we could probably sell the majority very quickly.
05:15Yeah.
05:15First time project manager, Pasha.
05:18If we love the product and we can relate to it, then we can sell it and I know it
05:23isn't.
05:24Guys, can I propose a bit of a selling strategy?
05:24This is my personal strategy.
05:26S stands for solve a problem.
05:27When you sell something, if it doesn't solve a problem, it's harder to sell it.
05:31E, sense of urgency, emergency and exclusivity.
05:35Tell them there's only eight left.
05:37R stands for relatability, drawing an anecdote.
05:39It's like, you know, my grandma has arthritis and this really helped her with this or whatever.
05:43Variety.
05:44Is it for men?
05:44Is it for women?
05:45Who is it for?
05:46And finally, E, energy and excitement.
05:48The more excited you are about a product, you know, I have this and it's great.
05:51And, you know, I would recommend this to my mum, blah, blah, blah.
05:56Pasha was given a very brief and broad strategy, but what I gave them was specifics.
06:01You can BPM just to tick it off the box, but this is my task.
06:05So, think strategically, think strategically.
06:08So, yeah, okay.
06:09But, yeah, I mean, thank you for that, Krishma.
06:11That's great of your experience, bringing that in.
06:16I do think homeware balances out with fitness as well.
06:19So, we have fitness and homeware.
06:20So, you're going into two different lifestyles.
06:22Stepping through roles with his team.
06:24We will go on product selection with Kieran, Levi and I.
06:27Sales expert, Connor.
06:29The deal of the day item is a jewellery item.
06:31So, Rafa and Dan, I just, I see you guys going there.
06:34But I just need to know from you, do we go for, like, everyday jewellery that you can just throw
06:38on, put aside,
06:39don't really care about the quality of it, or...
06:41But you guys are going to be selling it, what do you think?
06:45I mean, I think having clarity is really important.
06:47Yeah.
06:47Because, obviously, myself and Dan can pick whichever item we think is best.
06:51But it ultimately comes down to how much we can sell.
06:53It's your call.
06:55It's whatever you guys feel more comfortable with.
06:58I would not buy anything in the thousands on a TV shopping channel.
07:02I would.
07:02And you want to try it on, yeah.
07:04Mid-range.
07:05Yeah, I would agree with mid-range.
07:06I trust you to be like, if you think the lowest item you can sell them, lowest profit.
07:10If the highest item isn't that expensive, you guys and together will be able to deduce what is the best
07:16thing to sell.
07:17Mm-hmm.
07:18Yeah.
07:18Yeah?
07:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:20I do feel like the pricing strategy wasn't 100% clear.
07:23Yes, mid-range was mentioned.
07:25I wrote down mid-range.
07:26However, I do feel a little bit nervous picking an item that Connor may not be happy with.
07:30But ultimately, it wasn't the clearest of briefs.
07:32Because we don't know what the price is, what we'll do, myself and Dan, we'll look at the selection that
07:36we have there.
07:36Look at the cheapest item, highest item, and then just ideally pick the one in the middle, yeah?
07:40Yeah.
07:42Christian, obviously, you're very good at jewellery and you understand that, so I would love you to sub-team lead
07:46on that side.
07:47And I would like Lawrence to join you on that.
07:50Would you want to go on the high-end side or would you want to go somewhere more affordable so
07:53we sell more volume?
07:55Affordable.
07:56Make that your key word.
07:58Cool.
07:58Let's get going.
07:59Good luck, guys.
08:0311am.
08:05Teams divide.
08:07Everyone in this process has been a project manager once for the right task.
08:11Yeah.
08:11And even though we're getting to the end, I've waited for that right task.
08:14I knew that one was coming and I'm ready.
08:17Exactly.
08:17Sell, sell, sell.
08:20I understand the principles of live streaming, but ultimately it never gets easier, right?
08:24Because I was like, it is a one-way street.
08:26There's not a lot to work with.
08:28You have to back yourself because there's going to be numerous times in the ten minutes that you might be
08:32there that you're going to lose your train of thought.
08:33Something will go wrong.
08:34And the real strategy to win this is how you bounce back.
08:38You all right there, Kieran?
08:39Yes.
08:42In Feltham, West London, headquarters of shopping channel TJC.
08:49Broadcasting deals to British living rooms 24 hours a day.
08:53Hello.
08:54Hello.
08:54Hi.
08:55Good, how are you?
08:56Yeah.
08:56First job for both teams.
08:58We have a beautiful gold necklace.
09:01So what would be the recommended selling price for this?
09:031,399.99.
09:05Pick out a trinket to tempt buyers at home.
09:07So the second one is a multi-sapphire bracelet.
09:10Determined to sparkle.
09:12What is the gram weight?
09:13Over eight grams.
09:14Eight grams.
09:15Lawrence and Karishma.
09:17So finally we have a Tanzanite ring in gold.
09:21And the obvious question in terms of the lower, medium and higher value item, is this the medium one?
09:26Medium.
09:27It would be between 599.99 to 399.99.
09:31How many have you got of these?
09:32Eleven.
09:33Eleven.
09:34Right.
09:34You know how sterling silver has the 925?
09:36Yes.
09:37Does this have a 9K on it?
09:38It's 9K, yes.
09:39So it's not a plated metal?
09:40No, it's gold.
09:419K through and through?
09:41Over two grams of gold.
09:43Tanzanite comes from an eight-mile stretch in the Merilani region in Tanzania.
09:47Has it had a big impact because obviously an eight-mile local area and a positive impact maybe?
09:51Sure.
09:52So there's a lot of infrastructure that's being built in the country because of this.
09:55And correct me if I'm wrong, but the royal family actually owns a lot of Tanzanite, isn't it?
09:59Correct.
10:00Yes.
10:00Okay.
10:01Any other questions?
10:02No.
10:06So...
10:08I think, yeah, I actually don't have any more questions to ask, but it's been great to see all of
10:13your products today.
10:16I've got my eye on that Tanzanite ring.
10:18I do think the other team could see that we were a bit more dominant, like our voices were a
10:21bit more louder.
10:22So he's going to see that we're clearly more interested in that.
10:25I mean, we just have to get this ring.
10:26I think both of us were very clear that that was our favourite...
10:30Top choice.
10:31You know, I can imagine you selling it because I think naturally...
10:34I can imagine you selling it, mate.
10:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:36Me on the history, you on the info.
10:38You literally got goosebumps as you're speaking.
10:39Yeah.
10:40This is the one.
10:44I don't know what to say.
10:45Neither do I.
10:48I can't lie to you.
10:50The way Karishpa has a lot of confidence with her jewellery, they obviously want the ring.
10:54Yeah, but that's the mid-range one.
10:56I know.
10:56Obviously, Conor asked us to go for the mid-range one.
10:58It's a tricky one, isn't it?
11:00It's a really tricky one, Dan.
11:02I think, personally, it could be easier to sell the bracelet.
11:06Plus, I don't know what Conor meant by medium range.
11:08I think that there might be the most sensible choice.
11:11I think we've decided.
11:12Yeah.
11:12Bracelet is?
11:13Let's go with bracelet.
11:17Southwest London.
11:18Right, vintage pendulum wooden wall clock.
11:22I just see grandma.
11:23Weighing up what else to sell on screen.
11:28This is really boring.
11:30Yeah.
11:30Connor, Levi and Kieran.
11:33Adjustable shoe dryer.
11:34You just turn it on, pop your shoe off.
11:38Pop it on.
11:38I've worked outside in construction.
11:40Yeah.
11:40My boots get wet all the time, so this could be going.
11:43So when I'm working outside, walkers.
11:45So you would actually use this?
11:46I wouldn't allow my work boots in the house because I stunk.
11:48So this would probably be something you could do.
11:51It's definitely usable.
11:52The Core Crusher circuit board.
11:55The high price is $149.99.
11:57I've got my core exercise here.
11:59That's it.
12:01Yep.
12:02Do you feel the burn?
12:03Yeah, I do.
12:03Is it easier on your knees?
12:07Would you feel confident pitching this on TV?
12:10I think it's extremely pitchable.
12:14Resistance.
12:17Kieran and Levi believe in the products that we've chosen, as do I.
12:20My biggest concern now is that the guys don't focus on attention to detail
12:23and the sales aspect enough, but they are excited about the product,
12:26so that does give me great hope.
12:28Non-sleep yoga mat.
12:30Now, this gets me excited.
12:32Yeah, so, Kieran, I can imagine you with some sweatbands and leg warmers.
12:36Love it, Kieran.
12:37Mate, I'd give you a tenning for that right now.
12:41On the other team...
12:43We need to focus on price.
12:44I want to pick one high-cost item.
12:47Yeah.
12:47Which we sell a few of, potentially, but obviously at a very good price.
12:50Pushing for products to suit every pocket.
12:53And then two lower-cost items, which hopefully we can sell out, potentially.
12:56Project manager, Pasha.
12:58A table tennis set with a tractable net.
13:01The lowest price is $7.99, so this ticks the box for the low-cost item.
13:07Okay, water flosser, not gonna lie.
13:10I have one of these at home.
13:11Yeah.
13:12Ooh!
13:13Okay.
13:14You can see how quick that comes out.
13:16The lowest price is $9.99.
13:18I mean, obviously, it does hit what I said in terms of low-cost item.
13:21Okay, noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones with air purification.
13:25Interesting.
13:25Ooh, this is a cool gadget.
13:27Is it noise-cancelled?
13:28Can't hear me?
13:28Yeah, it is a very expensive product.
13:30The highest price is $4.49.
13:32So, I think the noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones and the table tennis set.
13:36Yeah.
13:36And then you've got the flosser.
13:38Agreed.
13:38I'm really glad we stuck to the structure.
13:40Yeah, I think we did a good job.
13:442pm.
13:45Hey!
13:46Hi!
13:46How are we doing?
13:47How are you guys?
13:49Soon, teams will go live to the nation.
13:51It's your all-in-one gym.
13:53I saw something in it and I'm gonna put my full backing into this.
13:57Premiering their chosen products.
13:59Personally, this is something that my granny would buy just to keep herself active.
14:03Kieran, Levi and Connor.
14:05But I stand over it that when it's demoed and when it's sold well, it could actually be a real
14:10reward for us.
14:11Yeah.
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:12We then bring out a portable shoe dryer.
14:16Okay.
14:22How does it work, then, exactly?
14:24So, you bang your shoes on here, on end.
14:27Will it fully dry or...?
14:29What's it doing?
14:30Is it to dry the shoes?
14:31Is it to make them smell nice?
14:33Yeah, it dries the shoes but it's also odour-eliminating.
14:38There we go.
14:40I mean, honestly, never heard of it.
14:42Bit of a peculiar one.
14:43Maybe men will buy it more?
14:45I don't see.
14:45Yeah, I mean, look, I personally wouldn't even think I needed something like this.
14:50Yes.
14:50I am more torn towards this just because of my experience of having wet feet.
14:55Again, in construction, I stepped in a lot of puddles, even up to my waist at times.
15:02Well, I mean, I had a few concerns about all the products that they selected.
15:06Obviously, the shoe dryer, I couldn't really understand whether it was a deodorant.
15:10It freshens up the shoes.
15:11I didn't really understand what it was.
15:12So, I'm a little bit concerned about that item.
15:14We then bring out a product of the Kirin Light yoga mat.
15:18Yoga mat.
15:18Yoga mat.
15:19With hand-held straps.
15:22Yeah.
15:23What do you think, Dan?
15:24I mean, a yoga mat's a yoga mat, isn't it?
15:28Across the hall.
15:30We have the cheap option, which is a table tennis set.
15:33The big reveal.
15:35Is it amazing?
15:36No.
15:37Is it something that we can make amazing?
15:40That's with us.
15:41Of Pasha's products.
15:43Now, we have the more expensive option, noise cancellation headphone set.
15:48Do you want to pop it on?
15:49Yeah, go on.
15:49As soon as these clip in, the air starts coming out as well.
15:54Just tuck in.
15:56Yeah, there's like a...
15:59I've got it around the wrong way.
16:02Better to get it wrong now than later.
16:04Yeah, it's a little bit...
16:07Shall I try?
16:08Tricky.
16:09It's about finding it in the right place, but they do just attach magnetically.
16:12The best way to do it is actually just show it like this.
16:29Priyash has been given the headphones to demonstrate and sell live on air.
16:32I mean, he couldn't fit the air purifier on the actual headphones.
16:36He didn't quite know how to turn them on.
16:38I mean, he's coming live in less than an hour.
16:41I hope he does a lot better when he's actually on air.
16:44Otherwise, it's going to be unwatchable.
16:47It's a little bit Terminator-y once it's on.
16:49Yeah.
16:50Ultimately, anything that does add air purification, it's an add-on.
16:54Yeah.
16:54It's not the product.
16:57So, this is what we've got.
16:59Cool.
16:59We've got the bracelets.
17:01For Connor's team, Bling signed off.
17:04I trusted you.
17:05I gave you full autonomy, so I can't not back you guys.
17:09Next, decide who sells what.
17:12Kieran, you were obviously drawn towards the yoga mat.
17:14Still angry.
17:15I think you're happy to sell that.
17:16Levi, shoes, you've got the story.
17:19I'm going to lead on the circuit board.
17:20And Dan, you and Rathna, the jewellery item.
17:22And then I'm going to do...
17:23My only concern is I have a selling background.
17:27Do you want me on one of the higher priced items?
17:29I think you were very vocal about being comfortable with this.
17:32You were...
17:33I'm putting it out there.
17:34No, no, no.
17:35Oh, sorry.
17:35No, no, I'm...
17:36I'm not saying...
17:37I'm just asking.
17:37Would you rather be on higher or stick to the mat?
17:39No, I'll stick to the mat.
17:40I was like, I've got this.
17:41Dan's got the jewellery.
17:44I feel like Connor doesn't trust me.
17:47I've got the lowest item, but you watch me pull the best figures out of today.
17:51I will win.
17:52Super.
17:53So, guys, let's go out there.
17:55Have fun, good energy, and let's go make some sales.
17:58Let's do this!
18:01Five minutes to go.
18:02Let's do this.
18:04Smash it.
18:05Handed to the teams.
18:06Gosh, it's nerve-wracking.
18:07Scary.
18:09Two of the channel's premium sales slots.
18:11So we look at this camera?
18:12Look at this camera always.
18:14Watching from home.
18:15Right, Joe, let's tune in.
18:18Lord Sugar and grandson Joe.
18:20Pasha, can you hear me?
18:22Yeah, I can hear you.
18:23Going live first.
18:24Coming to you in ten.
18:26Priyash and Pasha.
18:27Five seconds, guys.
18:29Five.
18:29Four.
18:30Standby.
18:31Three.
18:31Two.
18:33And one.
18:33Both mics are live.
18:34Vision next.
18:35Still in Vision.
18:39Good afternoon, folks.
18:41Ah.
18:42So, imagine this.
18:43You're after noise-cancelling headphones.
18:46Well, I've got the solution for you.
18:50He's a bit robotic, isn't he?
18:52Poor old Priyash.
18:53Yeah, a little bit.
18:54Now, imagine me this, running and running.
18:57Can you hear me?
18:59Am I saying things?
19:00What's your...
19:00What am I saying?
19:01You can't hear me?
19:02Oh, wow.
19:03I've got no reason to want to buy these right now.
19:06Give them a bit of energy.
19:08Fresh.
19:09How does it feel?
19:10Big energy, guys.
19:11Really good.
19:11Okay, so, this here, this is going to eliminate any dirty particles in the sky.
19:18They haven't sold anything.
19:20I wonder if the gallery's screwed it up.
19:22Honestly, I just feel like you can't go wrong.
19:25It's comfy.
19:26You're leaving them, guys.
19:27Pick them up.
19:27Say something, yeah.
19:28It's a futuristic product.
19:29Have you seen anyone outside wearing this?
19:31I'm going to get this at any super...
19:33It's also a futuristic product.
19:35Look how futuristic this looks.
19:36You've been on this.
19:37You've not even had a customer holding.
19:39Do something about it.
19:40Guys, we haven't sold a single one.
19:41Tell them it's the final price drop.
19:43There's a big price drop, trying.
19:44We're going down to 249.99.
19:48We've got one caller on the line.
19:49We've got one caller on the line.
19:50Someone's in, finally.
19:51Oh, my God, we've got one person in.
19:53It's a stunning product.
19:54Wow.
19:54Let's just have a little look at it again.
19:56Oh, two sold now.
19:59Maybe that's to his mum.
20:01Wow.
20:03We're going on to our next item now, guys.
20:06So, look, you've got five seconds.
20:08I couldn't even hear anything you were saying.
20:10Wow.
20:10Transition to the next product, please.
20:11Transition to the next product.
20:13I'm going to go get one now.
20:14Me too.
20:15We're going to our next item now.
20:19Look, I've done this task a number of times,
20:22and usually it's so chaotic in the gallery,
20:24you can't hear yourself think.
20:26But here, it was utter silence.
20:28No information has got to be worse than too much information.
20:32Priyash and Pasha must have thought the earpiece wasn't working
20:36because they weren't talking.
20:37Your mics are alive, just to remind you.
20:40Your mics are alive, keep going.
20:41Mics are alive, Pasha, keep talking.
20:43We've got a flosser.
20:45Honestly, I'm so happy to say that I've got two of these at home.
20:49You just cannot go wrong with it.
20:51Do you want one of those? I can get you one.
20:54No, your grandmother's got an electric one.
20:57Plug it in the mains and it blasts out like a...
21:00A jet washer.
21:01Like a jet washer, it is.
21:02A mini jet washer.
21:04It's 29.99.
21:05It's such a cheap price for this.
21:07I'm not joking.
21:08My dentist would probably charge me about 150 to 200.
21:12That's in her experience.
21:13Make sure she really...
21:13Make sure you mention your experience.
21:14...experience, not anybody else's.
21:16Ever since I started using this, my plaque has reduced so much.
21:21Potentially.
21:21All of this, you've got to...
21:22Listen.
21:23You're making a lot of claims here.
21:25Now, I've had probably...
21:26I've had mine for about two years now.
21:28The difference it has made.
21:30Pasha, I need you to say that your experiences may differ with this product.
21:35You...
21:35Honestly, my experience with this, it has been life-changing.
21:38Obviously, your experiences may vary, Pasha.
21:41I need you to say that now.
21:41You need to say it.
21:42Everyone in here is saying it.
21:43You have to say your experience may differ.
21:45But everyone's experience is different.
21:47And obviously, some people, you know, it might not be for them.
21:50We got there in the end.
21:51I do want to show you guys how to use it as well.
21:56I'm going to use a salad.
21:57So, I'm just going to put some food in my teeth.
22:00And just show you.
22:10I mean, don't do that.
22:12Put it in your mouth, guys.
22:13I did just spray my face.
22:16How can you demo that?
22:18You need a stooge like Priyash.
22:21Everyone that has got one, you're going to absolutely love it.
22:24And thank you.
22:25Thank you so much.
22:27Your mic is up.
22:28Next to the table...
22:29I can't believe I sprayed my face.
22:32Karishma and Lawrence.
22:34We're going live in three, two, and one.
22:37The Envision.
22:39What's up, Lawrence?
22:40Karishma, good to see you.
22:42It's nice to see you. Long time to see you.
22:43And hello.
22:44I'm Lawrence.
22:45And we have got a whirlwind of a product today for you.
22:48This is the portable at-home table tennis set.
22:52I like table tennis.
22:54I haven't played for ages.
22:55I'm a good table tennis player.
22:56It is 168 centimeters long, so we put on a little table here.
23:01Guys, there's no one calling in.
23:03Get excited.
23:04Come on, play it.
23:05A lot of energy.
23:06My dad would absolutely love this.
23:07My dad would go crazy for this.
23:09He gets so competitive with his friends on a game of table tennis.
23:12Play it, guys.
23:14Show them how to play the bats.
23:15Guys, play it.
23:16Pick up the bats.
23:17$9.99.
23:17You get really, really, really excited.
23:19Guys, play the actual ping pong.
23:21Play it.
23:22I don't know why you're not playing.
23:23Come on.
23:23Game on.
23:24First of three.
23:26Well, I don't know why you're being so aggressive with it, Lawrence.
23:28Like, it's a tiny table.
23:30I don't think Lawrence should apply for the Olympics.
23:32Table tennis Olympics, somehow.
23:34Look at this box.
23:35This all packs up into a box this big.
23:38Guys, we don't have long left.
23:39I think you should keep playing the game.
23:42They started buying it when you played the game.
23:44Let's play.
23:45Let's play with each other and, like, let's have a great time.
23:48I mean, this is fun.
23:49This is legitimately fun.
23:5012.
23:5114 sold, guys.
23:52They're pushing now.
23:53Keep playing.
23:54We are up to 12 buyers.
23:56We are going up and we don't have long left.
23:58We've only got a couple minutes.
23:59Right.
24:00Here we go.
24:01Do it in the boardroom.
24:02Tim one end and Karen the other end.
24:05And I could be the umpire.
24:06I've had a great time.
24:07So have I, Lawrence.
24:08This has been fun.
24:09You know who I feel bad for?
24:10Anyone that missed out.
24:11Right.
24:12Let them know what they're doing, guys.
24:13Clock to zero.
24:13You're moving on to your final product.
24:15The final.
24:15It's the ring.
24:17Okay.
24:17Let's walk over here, Lawrence.
24:19So we can really get to business here.
24:21I'm impressed by this and I can't wait for you to talk about these stones.
24:24Let me shock you right now because in this entire building, in our warehouse, back there,
24:28there's only 11 of these.
24:30There's no one on the lines at the moment.
24:32I think they need to be a bit more personal with it now.
24:34Guys, be a bit more personal with it now.
24:36Why would you get it?
24:37Jetpur is actually the gemstone capital of the world.
24:40A lot of incredible gemstones come from there, but not Tanzanite.
24:43Keep it personal to you as well.
24:45Would you buy this for your partner?
24:47Krishma, would you want this?
24:49Tanzanite only comes from one country on the globe, and that is Tanzania.
24:53Can you please just push the personal element?
24:55People want to know why you would get it.
24:57There is only an eight-mile strip in Tanzania, it's called Tanzanite, where you can get or mine this stone.
25:04Bloody boring, it's the same bloody thing all the time.
25:08When this is mined, I was really curious to know...
25:10And we've not sold a single one.
25:1350 seconds.
25:1550 seconds, guys.
25:16You will regret it if you don't get it for your wife.
25:18You will get it if you don't get it for yourself.
25:20The actual first Mosonites that we found on Earth came from an asteroid.
25:24It's unbelievable.
25:25It's unbelievable.
25:25I don't get this one.
25:27Why would you keep saying it all the time?
25:295, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
25:34If someone really makes that right decision, thank you so much.
25:37Oh, my God.
25:39None sold.
25:40No.
25:42Hi, guys.
25:43Hi.
25:43That was tough.
25:44I'm so gutted that we didn't sell any of the ring, because I feel like that is such a gorgeous
25:49item, so it just shocks me.
25:51Prishma said that jewellery is her thing, she knows what she's doing, so I had so much faith to at
25:56least sell one.
25:57It was too much history talk and not enough pushing.
26:01I'm just, I'm so gutted.
26:03We're just going to have to see tomorrow.
26:096pm.
26:09All it needs to be is better than the other team.
26:11Yeah.
26:11That's definitely going to be hard, isn't it, boys?
26:14Preparing for the air.
26:15So what's going on live?
26:16This screen.
26:17Okay, cool.
26:18Connor's team.
26:19Right, we're going live with graphics.
26:20Three, two, and one.
26:22Your mic here is live.
26:24Vision Next in Vision.
26:26Hello, and welcome back.
26:28As you can see down here, we have a beautiful purple aesthetic core circuit workout from home machine.
26:36Right, we're going on at 149 now.
26:38We are going live with the product at 149.
26:42This can be yours for 149.
26:44Come on, we've got no callers, mate.
26:45I need energy.
26:46I'm going to call in my colleague Dan.
26:48Dan.
26:50Are you?
26:51This is Dan.
26:51Please say hi, everyone.
26:52Oh, my God.
26:53Look who's here.
26:55Dan, the man's turned up.
26:57Callers, what I want to do is give a demonstration of this.
27:00Show the camera the item.
27:02Workout from home.
27:03So, what I'm going to do is this is portable.
27:06You can pop it into your house at home.
27:08Dan is looking very confused.
27:12Imagine a gym and your house.
27:14Dan looks very static.
27:16Let's get some movement.
27:17I'm going to get you to pop down on your knees and do a plank for me.
27:21We also have a timer on here.
27:22So, I'm going to set a 30-second timer for you to hold your plank for 30 minutes.
27:2630 minutes?
27:28Strong core.
27:29Good work, Dan.
27:30Now, I'm going to join you as well for a bit of Pilates on the same side.
27:35We've got zero callers, lads.
27:36I need Dan to really get into it.
27:39It is high resistance.
27:40There is a timer on there.
27:42Yeah, Dan, show us your little pearly ones.
27:43You're having fun.
27:44You're breaking a sweat.
27:45We've got one caller on the line.
27:46Do not lose it.
27:47We have a caller on the line, so I just do want to explain to them.
27:50Dan's gone.
27:51He's knocked himself out, Dan.
27:53He's got to have a rest.
27:54And let me tell you, this is not easy.
27:57Heading to the break.
27:58Three, two, one.
28:01And thank you so much, folks.
28:03Rolling.
28:04Connor was making it look really hard.
28:07If I was watching that, I'd think I'd have to be an Olympic gymnast to be able to purchase it.
28:11And that may put me off.
28:13Do you want me to come in now?
28:15I'll call you.
28:15You call me in.
28:16Cool.
28:17Hoping the bracelet they chose will shine.
28:19Hi, Dan. Can you hear us?
28:20Yeah.
28:21Good man.
28:22Dan and Rossner.
28:23Vision next in Vision.
28:25Okay.
28:26Well, good evening, everyone, and welcome back.
28:28Where's he looking?
28:29He's looking over there.
28:30It's one of a kind piece, and it's really something for every occasion.
28:34Lots of smiles at the camera.
28:36If you're thinking of going out for a birthday, a party.
28:39Look down the camera lens, mate.
28:41Now, I am going to invite my colleague, Rothner.
28:43She's going to come and try this bracelet on.
28:46So, I'm just going to take the bracelet off here.
28:48Clip it in.
28:50Let me just pop this in.
28:51Yep.
28:52Oh.
28:52You're fumbling around.
28:54Are you struggling with it?
28:55You're struggling.
28:56Apologies.
28:57That's all right.
28:58All you've got to do is clip it in, and there's two little claps here.
29:01There you are.
29:02Done.
29:02Price drop, 119.
29:04Oh, what's that?
29:05I hear we've got an incredible price drop coming up.
29:08119.
29:09Sold one.
29:09There.
29:10And we've just sold one on the line.
29:11So, who have we sold it to?
29:12Jamie.
29:13We've just sold...
29:14So, Jamie, you've bought yourself this beautiful, beautiful bracelet,
29:17and I really hope that you enjoy this.
29:19Good lad.
29:20Really well done, mate.
29:21I think they must have chivvied him up.
29:23He's warmed up a little bit.
29:24Yeah.
29:25Two minute countdown.
29:26Okay, we've got two minutes left.
29:27Oh, my gosh.
29:27So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to pop it on your wrist once more.
29:30Yep, bow for it.
29:30Oh, two sold.
29:31There you are, look.
29:32Velma.
29:33Velma's just bought one.
29:34And I've just heard that Velma has just brought another one of these bracelets.
29:37Thank you so much, Velma.
29:38We only have five left in stock.
29:40Five left in stock.
29:41Push, push, push.
29:42We have just five more left in stock.
29:45I can see that we've sold quite a few.
29:46Four gone now.
29:47Four.
29:47Five.
29:49Gene's just bought.
29:50Thank you, Gene.
29:51Gene.
29:51Okay, thank you, Gene.
29:52We've just seen that you've come through on the call here.
29:54Congratulations on your new purchase.
29:56We really hope that you love it.
29:58And I'm going to hand over to my colleagues for the next show.
30:00Well done.
30:01Wow.
30:03You did.
30:04Outstanding.
30:05Next on screen.
30:07We're going live in three, two, and one.
30:11Sales Supremo, Kieran.
30:13And your mic is live.
30:14Vision X.
30:15InVision.
30:16Your mic is up.
30:18Hello and welcome.
30:20My name is Kieran.
30:21And today I've got these luxury yoga mats.
30:24Now, a mat.
30:25You can only say so much about a mat.
30:27I mean, what can you say about a mat?
30:28They come with a little strap like this.
30:34For a real estate salesman, it's not setting the world alight here at the moment.
30:40Kieran, we can't see the mat.
30:41Get on the ground.
30:42Get on the ground.
30:42Get on the mat.
30:46Can you hear us, Kieran?
30:48Not if you can hear us.
30:50Brilliant.
30:51Just more energy.
30:52Let's get into it.
30:53Yeah.
30:54There we go.
30:55And then you whack it over your shoulder.
30:57You can walk anywhere you want with that.
30:59This is a hard sell.
31:01A real hard sell.
31:02Kieran, talk about how comfortable it feels on you.
31:05Goodness me.
31:07Is there some yoga?
31:09Some gymnastics?
31:10Some ab?
31:10I mean, what's nice is the grip on it.
31:13If you're doing a little workout, you know.
31:16He's in trouble here, aren't he?
31:18It really is.
31:21Keep talking.
31:23If you're one of them people that want to wake up and get that morning stretch.
31:28Kieran, we're going to do final price with Levi in.
31:30We're going to do final price now.
31:31Ready?
31:31My colleague Levi is going to come and show you how to do some yoga.
31:35How are we doing, everybody?
31:36My name's Levi.
31:38Oh, here he is.
31:39One minute.
31:40Final price?
31:41Levi.
31:42Well, I tell you what, if the final price is coming, I'm going to have to knock out some
31:45pretzels.
31:46If he does the pretzels.
31:47Are we ready?
31:47I want everyone on the lines now.
31:49This is the one.
31:50Get on the phone.
31:519.99.
31:52Final price.
31:53Push them.
31:54Ten seconds.
31:54Ten seconds.
31:54To buy these now.
31:56Come on.
31:56Keep talking.
31:57Three, two, and one.
32:02All right, your mics are out.
32:03Dead horse to flog.
32:04A dead horse to flog.
32:06Very good.
32:08All right, stand by for your mic.
32:10Last shot for Connor's team.
32:13Levi's chosen gadget.
32:15Three, two, one.
32:16Your mic is live.
32:18Which camera am I looking at?
32:20Your mic is live.
32:22Right.
32:23How we doing, everybody, and welcome.
32:24I'm Levi.
32:26Oh, here we go again.
32:27This is a shoe dryer.
32:30Talk about how much your missus will love that.
32:31She'll be so impressed with you.
32:32I know.
32:33After me and my missus have been on the rise round town,
32:35bit of a smelly shoe.
32:37All I have to do is just pop it up, pop it on.
32:39You'd put me off listening to you, mate.
32:42You really would.
32:43We're going to show you how this is done.
32:45Kieran, we can't see your head.
32:46If you're going to come in, come in.
32:47Put some water in.
32:49How to buy?
32:50Pick up the phone and call the number.
32:51There's two people here.
32:53That's it.
32:53He's got it, he's got it.
32:54We just need to trust him.
32:56Odour is eliminated.
32:57Final two minutes, starting now.
32:59Okay, we've sold one.
33:00That's it.
33:00Our in construction, and my feet were absolutely stinking.
33:05And you know what else happened?
33:06I got athlete's foot from it.
33:08I know.
33:08It's minging.
33:09You've got a ratchet jaws about athlete's foot.
33:12But the thing is, you're not just going to get athlete's foot
33:14from just working outside of construction.
33:16It's something you didn't think you need, but you'll use it every single day.
33:19Just relax.
33:20My girlfriend really needs these sort of, they stink.
33:23Oh, do they?
33:24Oh, cheers, buddy.
33:26I'll put them on here for you.
33:27This is torture.
33:27This is...
33:29Think about all the shoes that you can have dried.
33:32Any kind of, you know, living in the UK, bad weather happens all the time.
33:37It's only 25 seconds.
33:37You've got Ayles.
33:39You've got your gym trainers.
33:41You've got some more trainers.
33:43Right, I'm getting fed up now.
33:45How long more is this going on for?
33:47You've got 20 seconds left.
33:49We're just being very chaotic.
33:50We're being very chaotic right now.
33:52Six.
33:52Five.
33:52Four.
33:53Three.
33:54Relax.
33:54We won them.
33:55Go on.
33:55Do it, do it, do it.
33:59Is that it?
34:00Thank God for that.
34:02Yay!
34:04That is hard.
34:07That was hard.
34:08Look, did we sell as much as we wanted to?
34:10No.
34:11I am extremely disappointed.
34:12That was chaotic.
34:14The failure of the task, if we do lose tomorrow in the ballroom,
34:17it's got to come down to the PM.
34:18And people with no sales experience have gone on and sold.
34:23Connor didn't.
34:24Let's get out of here.
34:25OK, let's go.
34:26Let's go.
34:27Tonight, back to the house.
34:30Tomorrow, final sales revealed in the ballroom.
34:42I'm a little bit nervous today because obviously it didn't sell any of my deal of the day pieces.
34:47So, a little bit upset and scared to what's going to happen in the ballroom today.
34:52I brought Connor back to the ballroom last week.
34:55He's definitely going to bring me back if we lose.
34:57It's game on.
34:58I'm ready for a war.
35:00I feel like I'm walking into a lion's den with nothing to defend myself with.
35:03It is a live TV selling challenge.
35:05I'm not sure if I sold anything, so that leaves me in a pretty vulnerable position.
35:09You can go through to the boardroom now.
35:28So, TV shopping.
35:33Team Alpha, I believe that, Karishma, you wanted to be the project manager.
35:41Is that right?
35:42Yes, Lord Sugar.
35:42But then again, Pasha, you haven't been a project manager, have you?
35:46No, Lord Sugar.
35:47Did you deduct it?
35:48I was waiting for the right task.
35:50I haven't got experience live selling.
35:52However, I do have a big following on TikTok and I do have a social media presence.
35:57So, you know, I just felt like my skills and abilities would be best for this sort of task.
36:03So, Pasha's passion versus Karishma's charisma.
36:08Yeah, I've learned that and I think we worked really well together.
36:11Okay, so product selection.
36:13The structure that I went in with is I want a high cost item and a low cost item.
36:18If we can sell just a few of the high cost items, potentially that could be the reason that we
36:22win the task.
36:23So, what you ended up with was the headphones, the water flosser and table tennis.
36:30So, where was your luck, Karishma, while all this was going on?
36:35So, Lawrence and I spoke with the jewellery expert.
36:38We were also joined with Rothner and Dan.
36:40We kind of were competing to get the product we wanted.
36:43We expressed our interest in the mid-range item.
36:46You mean the ring?
36:47The ring, the tanzanite ring.
36:48I was watching you selling that stuff.
36:52Apparently, there was 11 in stock or something like that.
36:55Is that right?
36:56Yeah.
36:56Yeah.
36:59There still is 11 in stock also at the moment.
37:02There is.
37:02Yeah.
37:02Because I'm afraid you didn't succeed.
37:04And one of the reasons I think you didn't succeed was because, in my opinion, you missed out the point
37:11of who you were selling to.
37:12It should be love.
37:14It should be about, you know, a gift for somebody.
37:17Instead, you start giving them a geographic description of where it comes from.
37:24Who gives a shit about that?
37:26Not exactly Lord of the Rings there, my friend.
37:29Not quite, no.
37:30I mean, in fairness, Karishma knew a lot about the rings and I think there was a bit of scarcity
37:35because it only comes from a very small area.
37:38Hmm.
37:39Anyway, I think the first people on your team was you and you with the headphones, right?
37:46Correct.
37:46OK.
37:47And in the gallery was them two.
37:49Correct.
37:49Yeah.
37:50And silence, I heard.
37:52You sat there doing nothing for a while.
37:56Karishma, you were close to the mic.
37:58Do you agree with that?
37:59Um, so we were instructed...
38:02Was you getting much feedback initially?
38:04Um, initially, to be honest, my earpiece was cutting out every...
38:09No, it wasn't cutting out.
38:09It wasn't cutting out.
38:10They weren't talking.
38:11Oh, OK, well...
38:12I mean, my noise-cancelling headphones, it sounded like you must have had noise-cancelling microphones in there.
38:18Anyway, let me come on to the flosser.
38:22Yeah.
38:22I was very confident selling it just because I have it at home and I did want to have food
38:27there as well, which unfortunately...
38:29When you saw that, you had some spinach.
38:31Spinach.
38:31You stick some in your mouth, right?
38:33And then you get the machine, blow on it, and then you take it out of your mouth with your
38:38fingers again.
38:39Yeah, it was a bit...
38:40Very, very, very good.
38:42Yeah.
38:42The water power coming out of that thing.
38:44It was powerful, yeah.
38:45I could use it to clean my car.
38:46Yeah, yeah.
38:47And then there's the ping pong.
38:49I like that ping pong thing.
38:51I was thinking of setting it up in here for me and Tim to play it.
38:56Good work.
38:57You sold 28 of those, actually.
38:59Yeah.
39:00Anyway, there we are.
39:02So, Team Eclipse.
39:04Now, Connor, you ended up with what I will call the core machine, the yoga mat.
39:10Correct.
39:11Boring.
39:12And the shoe dryer, unusual item, right?
39:17So, you start off, Connor, with the core circus.
39:22It looked like you were having an argument with an ironing board, actually.
39:25Yeah.
39:26I definitely...
39:27Look, I came in with high energy and passion and I was hoping to shift that by using my energy.
39:31Then you call upon Dan, he comes in, done a few bits and pieces, and then went off.
39:39We were doing a couples workout at one stage.
39:42I was doing Pilates and Dan was doing some core exercises.
39:44Yeah.
39:45I do think it was sellable.
39:46I just probably didn't do myself justice.
39:50Moving on from there then.
39:52So, you had the bracelet.
39:54You looked like you were putting on handcuffs at one stage.
39:59Or like you lost the key.
40:01You were fumbling around.
40:03Dan did very well in terms of engaging with the customers and saying their names.
40:07Actually saying which were the key.
40:09It was quite clever, that, when we said thank you for the order and all that.
40:13Oh, and they got some orders, did they?
40:14Oh, yeah.
40:15They got some orders for it.
40:16Yeah.
40:16I was extremely proud of Dan for putting himself out of his comfort zone, almost, and really applying himself.
40:21He exceeded probably all of our expectations.
40:24Oh, there you go.
40:25Compliments there, Dan.
40:26That's very kind.
40:27Compliments.
40:28All right.
40:29Moving on.
40:30We've got Kieran on the yoga mat.
40:34Yoga mat.
40:35And that, I mean, I've got to tell you, that was painful, my friend.
40:39Painful.
40:39Did you say, I'll do that one?
40:41I said, I would do that one.
40:45But I also offered to take a high-end item as well.
40:51Yeah.
40:52As yoga mats go, it wasn't bad.
40:53It's a style seller.
40:54Yeah.
40:55Can I just add Lord Sugar?
40:56I expected that the boys would probably pick an item that they were personally really confident selling.
41:00Kieran's great at selling, so I was pretty shocked that he was just going to be selling the mats.
41:04But then he was confident he could sell them in large quantity.
41:07Okay.
41:08Well, moving on, we went to the most unusual item, the shoe dryer, which Levi took the role.
41:17That's right, Lord Sugar.
41:18Yeah, that's correct.
41:19I mean, it's an unusual item.
41:21In fact, I bought one for my wife for Christmas, so she's going to be delighted with it, I'm sure,
41:27when she opens it up.
41:29I think she's going to throw that straight back at you.
41:32Yeah.
41:33I mean, you're putting shoes on the wrong way round, pouring water in trainers.
41:38To be fair, Lord Sugar.
41:40And then Butch Cassidy comes running in at the end to help you out, you know?
41:46It was quite hard to get me bearings, to be fair, Lord Sugar.
41:50In gallery, it sounded like somebody ate the microphone and people were just shouting.
41:56And then, yeah, it was hard to concentrate, try and get a point across while it's getting loading the ear.
42:01Hmm.
42:03Right.
42:04Okay.
42:05Well, it's that time now.
42:08Let's have a look and see how we did, shall we?
42:14So, the thing you should know about TV selling is that you may have expectations of what you think you
42:23sold, but as you know, people change their minds.
42:26Right.
42:27So, I've now got the real confirmed figures from the shopping channel.
42:33So, Tim, can you tell me the final results of your team?
42:37Mm-hmm.
42:38Well, you mentioned a number of sales that have been made, but unfortunately, not all of those sales went through,
42:42including the one high-priced item of the Core Crusher that was almost sold, but somebody pulled out.
42:49But they still managed to sell 18 products, giving them a total sales on the day of £773.82.
42:58Well done, everyone.
42:59Right.
43:00Okay.
43:01Good.
43:01Karen, same question.
43:03How did your team get on?
43:04Well, unfortunately, not all of their sales went through either, including one of the high-priced headphones.
43:12Um, and their highest-priced item, Alan, the ring, you know, they didn't sell any of those at all.
43:19Um, but they did still manage to sell 40 items across the hour, totaling £893.60.
43:29It depends.
43:30It depends.
43:30Right.
43:31Wow.
43:32Well done, Team Alpha.
43:34Your first time as a project manager, and you pulled it through.
43:39Yeah.
43:39Okay, make your way back to the house.
43:41I'll see you on the next task, okay?
43:45Good luck, guys.
43:50Stop.
43:51Oh.
43:51Yes.
43:52Team Alpha was my worst task as well.
43:54I'm so proud of you guys.
43:56Well done.
43:58Okay, well, um, so go away, have a chat amongst yourselves, come back, and we'll decide who's
44:05leaving.
44:06Okay?
44:07Off you go.
44:09Oh, thank you.
44:12Big item made the difference, didn't it?
44:14Yeah.
44:14Well, no, I mean, they sold 40 items, and they sold 18.
44:18Hmm.
44:20Oh, my God.
44:22You smashed it, Pasha.
44:23Yeah.
44:24Cannot tell you how relieved I am.
44:28Obviously, I've had my two wins as sub-team, but that's not enough.
44:31I wanted to step forward and deliver.
44:32One more task.
44:33Yeah.
44:33And then we're in the final five.
44:35Yeah.
44:35We just need to get there now.
44:40One of the things that I did say in strategy is bringing high energy was great, but I think
44:44ultimately what you two failed to do was to harness it in the correct way.
44:47We sold, mate.
44:49Yeah, and I accept I didn't.
44:50You guys only sold two units each.
44:52I had a roll-up bit of phone, mate.
44:53Connor sold nothing.
44:55Kieran didn't sell a lot, and he's supposed to be an amazing salesperson.
44:57And quite frankly, I don't really know what Levi is good at other than being a great guy.
45:00The one person I was disappointed in, Kieran, is you.
45:02I have to say, I've worked with you and I thought you were great, but when you were presenting,
45:06I honestly thought you'd do a bit better.
45:08We failed the task for lack of instruction and no sales.
45:11Kieran loves to deflect, and he loves to say he can't do something at the last moment.
45:14He said he'd take a high ticket item just as we were heading out the door.
45:16As he sounded enthusiastic about the yoga mat, I gave it to him.
45:19Then he said, maybe not, I can't do yoga.
45:21The reality is that we didn't make enough sales.
45:23It's down to selling.
45:24Me and myself and Roth have sold the most, and I know it wasn't loads,
45:27but we sold high ticketed items and sold multiple of them.
45:30I would have thought with lower ticketed items, we could have sold a few more.
45:33The failure in this task lies with project manager Connor and Kieran.
45:36They're polar opposites.
45:37They don't work well together, and it's showed in this task.
45:52Yes, would you send the candidates in, please?
46:08Well, you lot lost by £120, which is not a lot of money.
46:15Now, Alpha sold 40 products, and you sold 18 only.
46:22So, Connor, the core machine that you demonstrated,
46:27the last time the professional presenter did it, they sold 55.
46:32Yeah, so my plan with the core circuit yoga was to target audience.
46:37The older or maybe new to fitness, and then the more experienced user of fitness like myself.
46:42I demonstrated it as someone who's maybe avid in fitness
46:44and wants to use it to enhance their workouts, maybe after a cardio session.
46:47I think it implied you had to be very fit to use it.
46:49Yeah.
46:51Anyway, I'm not surprised you were sweating because you hadn't sold any.
46:54Yeah, definitely.
46:55I did give it my all, it did give my energy, and I hold my hands up.
46:58I'm disappointed as PM that I didn't sell one item.
47:00I mean, Dan walking in, it looked like you called in a bloke from IT, you know.
47:05Okay.
47:06Now then, Rothner and Dan, the bracelets, you only sold three.
47:15They usually sell 21 in that slot.
47:18I am disappointed that we only ended up selling three of them.
47:21I did really believe in the product, and I hoped it'd come across.
47:24If you'd have got the ring and sold three of them, like you sold three of the bracelets, you would
47:29have won.
47:29So we didn't go with that.
47:30Why didn't you get the ring?
47:31We thought maybe Conor might find the ring a bit too expensive.
47:34He was quite clear about asking for a mid-range item.
47:37But when I asked for numbers in the brainstorm, he didn't give any numbers.
47:41My mid-range could be very different to your mid-range.
47:44Your role was to pick deal of the day.
47:46What she's trying to say is that it was left to our own devices to pick what we thought was
47:50the most sensible item that we could sell on TV.
47:52But that's why you were placed on that team.
47:54And you picked the cheapest.
47:55Yeah.
47:57Now, moving on, the yoga mat.
48:00This company has sold 390 in the last session.
48:05You sold six, and you say you are a super salesman.
48:11I'm a salesman, yeah, absolutely.
48:14Well, you didn't sell many, did you?
48:15So I did offer to swap the high-end item.
48:18I was told no.
48:19Were you not extremely enthusiastic about the yoga mat?
48:22I said I could take the course.
48:23Never said I wasn't, mate.
48:24I'd done the sit-ups.
48:24I'd done a few press-ups.
48:25Exactly.
48:26Levi come in to perform on the mat right at the inn.
48:30You should have sent him in earlier.
48:31It were a bit painful to watch, so I looked at galleries.
48:34You were painful to watch, my friend.
48:36You were really painful to watch all the way around, including the shoe dryer thing.
48:41I mean, what a bloody product that is.
48:43And do you know what?
48:44They usually sell 300 in a session.
48:47300!
48:48I've never heard of it.
48:48And you sold three.
48:50I did try to explain about the shoe drying properties, but when I had somebody, like,
48:54a team shouting in my ears, I had Kieran walking towards me.
48:57It was very distracting for me.
48:59Well, one of the comments from a viewer was that this is a joke.
49:03I'm flabbergasted.
49:04I can't watch it anymore.
49:06They tuned out.
49:07Right?
49:07And I have to say, I was flabbergasted also.
49:10I think it was diabolical.
49:12I do believe that, on reflection, it's actually time.
49:21I've won most at task, Lord Sugar.
49:23I've won a project manager.
49:24No, you didn't win them.
49:24You didn't win them.
49:25It was on winning teams.
49:27So, you know what, Levi, it is with regret.
49:33You're fired.
49:35OK.
49:35Thank you for the opportunity, Baroness Brady, Lord Sugar.
49:38Tim, thank you.
49:39If you ever need an earn, get in touch with me.
49:42Yeah.
49:44Well, best of luck.
49:45Thanks.
49:52Um, Connor, which two people are you bringing back into this boardroom?
49:58Um, based on what I've heard, I'm going to bring back Kieran,
50:01and I'm going to bring back Dan.
50:03Right.
50:04OK.
50:05Rothner, you can go back to the house.
50:07Thank you, Lord Sugar.
50:10Good luck.
50:15OK, you three gentlemen step outside,
50:19and, um, when you come back in, we'll see who is going to leave.
50:24OK?
50:25Thank you very much.
50:33I can see why you made a decision to exit Levi from the process.
50:37Yeah, I mean, on this particular task,
50:39it was the worst TV selling I've ever seen in this whole process.
50:43It was worse.
50:45Painful.
50:46Anyway, Kieran, I mean, he's a chirpy chappy.
50:48He chirped a lot, but he didn't make the sales.
50:51The important thing on this task was to convert the products
50:54to something that the audience wanted.
50:56And, unfortunately, he made such a hash of that mat,
50:59nobody bought anywhere near the numbers that you said
51:02you got from the channel themselves.
51:04Then the man.
51:06Obviously, they sold three bracelets.
51:08Had they instead of chosen the ring and sold three rings,
51:11they would have won.
51:12I mean, he was with Rothner when they picked it.
51:15Maybe they didn't engage the buyers as well as they could have.
51:18Um, Connor.
51:19Well, Connor's a great talker.
51:21He emphasised his ability in front of the camera,
51:24but he wasn't that good behind the camera.
51:26Unfortunately, a lot of this does rest on his shoulders.
51:28Mmm.
51:32Could you send the three of them in, please?
51:43So, on this task, Connor, you were the project manager.
51:48You've been a project manager twice, right?
51:51And, regretfully, you lost twice.
51:54Mmm.
51:55Why have you brought these two back in then?
51:57Um, when I made my selection, I reviewed the entire process
52:01that we've made it here.
52:02Um, when it comes to Ciaran, in fairness to Ciaran,
52:04Ciaran has grabbed the bull by the horns
52:06and he's really applied himself,
52:08but at times he's been called difficult to work with
52:10and disruptive.
52:11So, in terms of looking for your next apprentice,
52:13I just don't know if he would be the correct candidate.
52:15Everyone works with people differently.
52:17Correct.
52:17Yeah.
52:18And that's not my decision to make,
52:19but that's just my perspective.
52:20When it came to Dan,
52:22Dan was slow to get into the process
52:24and maybe didn't apply himself every week
52:26to the extent that me personally has.
52:28Well, I mean, this was a selling task.
52:29Um, myself, I sold 300 pounds worth of stuff.
52:32They sold 60 pounds between them both.
52:34And I think throughout the whole of this process,
52:35I know it took me a little while to settle into it,
52:37but this has been a big learning curve for myself.
52:39I've developed a lot of skills.
52:41I've learned how to work with people,
52:42but I wouldn't necessarily usually work with.
52:43And I think I've really grown in this process
52:45in terms of becoming a better business,
52:47business person for yourself, Lord Sugar.
52:49Hmm.
52:50Ciaran, super salesman, sold six,
52:52been on the losing side five times.
52:57Yes, Lord Sugar.
52:58I've put myself forward for a lot of things.
53:01I haven't shied away.
53:02I've give everything my all.
53:04Some, it's the team effort,
53:05not just an individual effort.
53:07So where I might have small wins,
53:08the team may not always win.
53:09Hmm.
53:10Right.
53:12Well, here we have a dilemma, really.
53:15I have to make a decision.
53:16Lord Sugar, if I may.
53:18Yes.
53:19I've been project manager twice on the same task.
53:23And you won once by default.
53:25Arguably a one, a win.
53:26Yeah.
53:26Yeah.
53:28If I stay in this process,
53:30I would like to be the project manager on task 10
53:32to prove to you what I can do.
53:34If I lose, we shake hands, I walk out.
53:37Right.
53:38That's very interesting.
53:40Anybody else want to make that offer?
53:42I don't feel the need to.
53:44I can if I want to.
53:45I felt that I, over the last eight tasks,
53:48I don't need another task to prove myself.
53:50I have given myself one.
53:51You lost, you know, you've lost five.
53:53You've been in the losing team five times.
53:55Correct.
53:56And every time within those tasks,
53:57the project manager has usually always had a very specific role
54:00that they've wanted me to excel in.
54:01And at numerous times within this process,
54:03I have excelled.
54:04I don't need a 10th task to beg you to take me.
54:07You don't?
54:08I don't.
54:09I don't think I do.
54:10What about you, Dan?
54:12I feel like over the past nine tasks,
54:14I've really kind of proven myself in many different ways.
54:17I do believe that ultimately,
54:19you've got to decide who you want to go into business with.
54:21I know that I've only ever worked for myself.
54:23I'm an entrepreneur through and through.
54:24That's all I know.
54:25And the industry that I'm in, I know it so well.
54:27So, it's whether you think there's great potential
54:29with my business that I've got
54:30and if it's something you want to join me on the journey with.
54:32Mmm.
54:35I have observed you over the past nine weeks.
54:41Um...
54:43Dan...
54:45You're going to remain in this process, okay?
54:48Thank you, Lord Sugar.
54:51Um...
54:51This leaves me with you too.
54:56And...
54:59Yeah.
55:07At this stage, Connor,
55:09it's been very nice to meet you
55:11and be associated with you,
55:14but I have to think about a kind of a gut feeling, okay?
55:18So, you're fired.
55:20Thank you so much for the opportunity.
55:21I've had an amazing time.
55:23You've come through nine weeks...
55:25...of difficult stuff, okay?
55:26Brilliant.
55:27And you've done good.
55:28Yeah.
55:28Okay, so I wish you well.
55:29Thank you so much, everyone.
55:30I've had an amazing time.
55:31Well done.
55:31Best of luck, Connor.
55:39Right, gentlemen.
55:40Um, difficult decision there.
55:44You two go back to the house.
55:45I'll see you on the next task.
55:47You are going to be the project manager.
55:50You asked for it.
55:51You got it.
55:52I lose.
55:52Okay?
55:53You've got it.
55:54And I've got bad news for you.
55:56It's got nothing to do with selling houses.
55:58Okay?
55:59Off you go.
56:05Wow.
56:06Kieran, be careful what you wish for.
56:08Big gamble.
56:09Connor has really learned a lot from the places.
56:11I wish him well.
56:12I do wish him well.
56:13I think he's ready for the next stage of his business life.
56:19I have done so many things that I never would have done
56:21if it wasn't for this process.
56:23We all had a scream.
56:24We had a laugh.
56:25It was an amazing time.
56:27I am gutted about it.
56:28It is what it is.
56:29I'm a big believer that everything happens for a reason.
56:31I'm sure there's another investor out there for me.
56:34I do honestly think that Connor's had his chances now,
56:38but he might have talked his way out of it.
56:40Who's fought the most is what we want to know.
56:43Well, Kieran definitely looked fuming in Loser's Cafe.
56:47There's no one I would want to go up against less than Kieran.
56:50Speaking of the devil.
56:56Well done, boys.
56:58Danny, I need you coming back.
57:00Oh, my God, guys.
57:01Sit down.
57:01Tell us what happened.
57:03It was, like, proper heated.
57:05Yeah.
57:06And then I just went, I'll be PM next week.
57:08If I lose, I'll walk.
57:09Did you?
57:10The most Kieran thing I've ever had.
57:11Did you actually?
57:11Yeah.
57:12If I lose, I'll walk.
57:13Wow.
57:14Gozy.
57:15Oh, my gosh.
57:17Now, seven candidates remain.
57:20The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner continues.
57:26Next time.
57:28You're going to come up with a new pet product.
57:31Pets.
57:32What does a cat like?
57:33Oh, they like cheese.
57:35Pressure.
57:36It's really terrible.
57:38I don't want to hear none of that anymore.
57:38It's negative.
57:39It's put me in a bad mood.
57:40And in the boardroom.
57:42You didn't try hard enough.
57:43You didn't push them enough.
57:45Walkies.
57:45You're fired.
57:49And you can get all the unfinished business with Angela Scanlon over on BBC iPlayer now.
57:54How did one of hip-hop's biggest icons end up here?
57:58MF Doom Long Island to lead to listen on sounds.
58:01Meanwhile, rapper Paul Salu returns to the stage after prison.
58:05Can music save him over on BBC Three?
