00:00...will be the toughest of your life.
00:02Lord Sugar is on the hunt for the next big thing.
00:05This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
00:09Battling for his backing, some of Britain's brightest prospects.
00:14Come on boys, look at that. Your life depends on it.
00:17And then hit him.
00:18It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:21I can sense a bit of friction, actually.
00:22Daniel, was that on you?
00:23No.
00:24I'm talking then.
00:26Twenty candidates.
00:27I've never been kicked in the balls by a goat, to be honest with you.
00:30Twelve tough tasks.
00:33This is a complete and utter joke.
00:36Just jump straight in.
00:37One life-changing opportunity.
00:40You're fired. You're fired.
00:42You've completely messed it up. You're fired.
00:52Previously on The Apprentice.
00:54You are going to have to source nine items associated with the Isle of Wight.
01:00Run, run, run, run.
01:01Yeah, I've just got a couple of questions that were just struggling.
01:03Levi had a slow start.
01:05Do you know what a bird's nest is?
01:07No.
01:08Ah.
01:09Kieran turned on the charm.
01:11Fifteen.
01:12And you can have your basket back as well.
01:14Right, let's go.
01:15But a last minute deal.
01:17We got the swing!
01:19Sealed Levi the win.
01:20It's a total of £614.07.
01:24Well done.
01:25Leaving Harry...
01:26You should have walked away and found another vendor.
01:28All at sea.
01:29You're fired.
01:377pm.
01:38Final nine.
01:39I can't call it right now.
01:41I think there's a lot of good, strong candidates here.
01:43Still nine people.
01:44Game is on.
01:45Game is on.
01:46It feels like more of a fight now.
01:48I can't lie to you.
01:48Everyone has to step up to the play.
01:50Like, you literally cannot hide.
01:53Oh, text.
01:55Oh, it's from Lord Sugar.
01:57Oh, my God.
01:57It's going to be...
01:58Let's play this.
02:00Good evening.
02:02I'm sorry to interrupt your downtime,
02:04but I wanted to let you know about your next task.
02:07And what better way to do that than via the small screen?
02:11Because being on screen is what you lot are going to have to get used to.
02:17In the UK, TV shopping is a billion-pound industry.
02:23And I have arranged for you to sell live on one of the leading shopping channels tomorrow.
02:28You have to select a range of products before producing and presenting your own slot.
02:35The team that generates the most money from sales will win,
02:39and on the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
02:43And by the way, I will be watching your every move.
02:46Oh, no.
02:48And because this is a sales task, I want to see you all selling.
02:53All of us.
02:53All of us.
02:53There is nowhere to hide.
02:54Yep.
02:55So good luck.
02:56I'll see you in the boardroom in a couple of days.
02:58So it's different this year.
03:00Everyone's selling.
03:01Everyone's got to get on the telly.
03:02And just to know that there's, like, thousands of people watching you,
03:05like, so that there's no room for messing up.
03:07Yeah.
03:07I can't wait.
03:08I've been looking forward to this one.
03:09I'm very excited.
03:158 a.m.
03:16Looking forward to this task, ladies.
03:18Yeah.
03:19I'm excited.
03:20Eight hours till teams go live.
03:22There's only one reason why I'm dressed up like this today, guys.
03:25I'm ready.
03:26I'm ready to be PM.
03:27Pushing for the part of project manager.
03:29I sell people skills for a living and, yeah, I'm ready to take on the role.
03:35Pasha.
03:36I also want to put myself forward as PM because this is where my experience lies.
03:40As a consultant on social media, a big part of that was live TV selling and live selling on TikTok.
03:47I mean, because of your experience, Kirishma, I have to go with the skillset I'm going to have to save
03:51for you.
03:52Likewise, I feel exactly the same.
03:54You've put together a very compelling case.
03:55I do get it, but even with your knowledge, it can be implemented with me being project manager.
04:01That's just my opinion.
04:02And I know it's hard for me just because I'm really passionate about this.
04:07To make this fair, then, as Pasha has in BPM, I think this will be a good opportunity for her
04:12to learn from you.
04:13And I'm so, so keen to be project manager if you're happy with that.
04:17As long as we win, I actually, I don't know what I'm saying.
04:20We rely on everyone's experience and expertise to share knowledge, and that's what it's all about as well.
04:25Absolutely.
04:27Kirishma clearly has experience in this field.
04:29However, Lawrence and Priyash were swayed by the fact that Pasha hasn't been project manager and would like to give
04:34it a go.
04:35I mean, frankly, that's really not a good enough reason.
04:38They should have gone with the more experienced person.
04:41I'm excited.
04:44Across the hall...
04:46Ooh, shall I be handing the crown to for project manager?
04:48Keen to call the shots, Conor.
04:51I'm happy to put myself forward.
04:52I have experience in livestream and, obviously, in the selling in the market, I did quite well.
04:56I would also like to put myself forward.
04:59I sell for a living.
05:00I've proved myself selling in this process.
05:02But ultimately, this is also about the products we select.
05:05We have to keep in mind who's watching the show.
05:07However, it does come down to sales techniques and tactics.
05:10I have almost ten years' experience in selling.
05:12Live selling at all, or?
05:15I do a lot of video work.
05:16I feel we're wasting a bit of time.
05:17I have done social media live streaming.
05:21Right, shall we go to about Kieran?
05:25Conor it is.
05:26Conor it is.
05:27Bravo.
05:29I'm feeling confident.
05:30Today is about TV selling, and I have experience in live selling.
05:33I wasn't going to hide in the shadows any longer.
05:35I think the time to put yourself forward is now.
05:38I've got to say, I'm happy that you're project manager,
05:40because I think you're the best man for the job here.
05:42Thank you.
05:46I feel like the money is going to be in the beauty products, personally.
05:49Putting forward her plan...
05:51And the kids and teens, that's where we could probably sell the majority very quickly.
05:56First-time project manager, Tasha.
05:59If we love the product and we can relate to it, then we can sell it, and I know it
06:04isn't.
06:04Guys, can I propose a bit of a selling strategy?
06:05This is my personal strategy.
06:06S stands for solve a problem.
06:08When you sell something, if it doesn't solve a problem, it's harder to sell it.
06:12E, sense of urgency, emergency, and exclusivity.
06:15Tell them there's only eight left.
06:17R stands for relatability, drawing an anecdote.
06:20It's like, you know, my grandma has arthritis, and this really helped her with this, or whatever.
06:24Variety, is it for men, is it for women, who is it for?
06:27And finally, E, energy and excitement.
06:29The more excited you are about a product, you know, I have this, and it's great,
06:32and, you know, I would recommend this to my mum, blah, blah, blah.
06:37Tasha was given a very brief and broad strategy,
06:40but what I gave them was specifics.
06:42You can BPM just to tick it off the box, but this is my task.
06:46So think strategically, think strategically.
06:49So, yeah, OK.
06:50But, yeah, I mean, thank you for that, Krishma.
06:52That's great.
06:53It's great with your experience, bringing that in.
06:57I do think homeware balances out with fitness as well.
06:59So we have fitness and homeware.
07:01So you're going into two different lifestyles.
07:03Stepping through roles with his team.
07:05We will go on product selection with Kieran Levi and I.
07:08Sales expert, Connor.
07:10The deal-of-the-day item is a jewellery item.
07:12So Rafa and Dan, I just, I see you guys going there.
07:15But I just need to know from you,
07:17do we go for, like, everyday jewellery that you can just throw on, put aside,
07:20don't really care about the quality of it?
07:21But you guys are going to be selling it.
07:23What do you think?
07:26I mean, I think having clarity is really important.
07:28Yeah.
07:28Because, obviously, myself and Dan can pick whichever item we think is best.
07:32But it ultimately comes down to how much we can sell.
07:34It's your call.
07:36It's whatever you guys feel more comfortable with.
07:39I would not buy anything in the thousands on a TV shopping channel.
07:43If you want to try it on, yeah.
07:44Mid-range.
07:45Yeah, I would agree with mid-range.
07:47I trust you to be like, if you think the lowest item you can sell them,
07:50lowest profit.
07:51If the highest item isn't that expensive,
07:54you guys and together will be able to deduce what is the best thing to sell.
07:57Mm-hmm.
07:59Yeah.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:01I do feel like the pricing strategy wasn't 100% clear.
08:04Yes, mid-range was mentioned.
08:06I wrote down mid-range.
08:07However, I do feel a little bit nervous picking an item
08:09that Connor may not be happy with.
08:11But ultimately, it wasn't the clearest of briefs.
08:13Because we don't know the prices, what we'll do, myself and Dan,
08:16we'll look at the selection that we have there,
08:17look at the cheapest item, highest item,
08:19and then just ideally pick the one in the middle, yeah?
08:21Yeah.
08:23Christian, obviously, you're very good at jewellery and you understand that,
08:26so I would love you to sub-team lead on that side
08:28and I would like Laurence to join you on that.
08:30Would you want to go on the high-end side
08:32or would you want to go somewhere more affordable so we sell more volume?
08:36Affordable. Make that your key word.
08:38Cool. Let's get going.
08:40Good luck, guys.
08:4311 a.m. Teams divide.
08:48Everyone in this process has been a project manager once
08:50for the right task.
08:52And even though we're getting to the end,
08:54I've waited for that right task.
08:55I knew that one was coming and I'm ready.
08:58Exactly. Sell, sell, sell.
09:01I understand the principles of live streaming,
09:03but ultimately it never gets easier, right?
09:05Because I was like, it is a one-way street.
09:07There's not a lot to work with.
09:09You have to back yourself.
09:10Because there's going to be numerous times
09:11in the ten minutes that you might be there
09:13that you're going to lose your train of thought.
09:14Something won't go wrong.
09:15And the real strategy to win this is how you bounce back.
09:19You all right there, Kieran?
09:20Yes.
09:23In Feltham, West London,
09:25headquarters of shopping channel TJC.
09:30Broadcasting deals to British living rooms
09:3224 hours a day.
09:34Hello.
09:35Hello.
09:35Hi.
09:36Good, good. How are you?
09:37First job for both teams.
09:39We have a beautiful gold necklace.
09:41So what would be the recommended selling price for this?
09:44$1,399.99.
09:45Pick out a trinket to tempt buyers at home.
09:48So the second one is a multi-sapphire bracelet.
09:51Determined to sparkle.
09:53What is the gram weight?
09:54Over 8 grams.
09:558 grams.
09:56Lawrence and Karishma.
09:58So finally, we have a Tanzanite ring in gold.
10:02And the obvious question in terms of the lower, medium, and higher value item,
10:06is this the medium one?
10:07Medium.
10:07It would be between $599.99 to $399.99.
10:11How many have you got of these?
10:13Eleven.
10:13Eleven.
10:14Right.
10:15You know how sterling silver has a 925?
10:17Yes.
10:17Does this have a 9K on it?
10:18It's 9K, yes.
10:19So it's not a plated metal.
10:20No, it's gold.
10:219K, 3 and 3.
10:22Yeah, over 2 pounds of gold.
10:24Tanzanite comes from an 8-mile stretch in the Merilani region in Tanzania.
10:27Has it had a big impact?
10:28Because obviously an 8-mile local area and a positive impact maybe on...
10:32Sure, so there's a lot of infrastructure that's being built in the country because of this.
10:36And correct me if I'm wrong, but the royal family actually owns a lot of Tanzanite, isn't it?
10:40Correct, yes.
10:41Okay.
10:41Any other questions?
10:42No.
10:46Um, so...
10:49I think, yeah, I actually don't have any more questions to ask, but it's been great to see all of
10:54your products today.
10:56Got my eye on that Tanzanite ring.
10:58I do think the other team could see that we were a bit more dominant, like,
11:01our voices were a bit more louder, so he's going to see that we're clearly more interested in that.
11:05I mean, we just have to get this ring.
11:07I think both of us were very clear that that was our favourite...
11:11Top choice.
11:11You know, I can imagine you selling it, because I think naturally...
11:14I can imagine you selling it, mate.
11:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:15Honestly.
11:16Me on the history, you on the info.
11:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:19You literally got goosebumps as you're speaking.
11:20Like, this is the one.
11:24I don't know what to say.
11:26Neither do I.
11:28I can't lie to you.
11:30The way Karishpa has a lot of confidence with her jewellery, they obviously want the ring.
11:34Yeah, but that's the mid-range one.
11:36I know.
11:37Obviously, Conor has to stay for the mid-range one.
11:39It's a tricky one, isn't it?
11:40It's a really tricky one, Dan.
11:43I think, personally, it could be easier to sell the bracelet.
11:46Plus, I don't know what Conor meant by medium range.
11:49I think that there might be the most sensible choice.
11:51I think we've decided.
11:53Yeah.
11:53Bracelet is.
11:54Let's go, Bracelet.
11:58Southwest London.
11:59Right, vintage pendulum wooden wall clock.
12:03I just see grandma.
12:04Weighing up what else to sell on screen.
12:09This is really boring.
12:10Yeah.
12:11Conor, Levi and Kieran.
12:14Adjustable shoe dryer.
12:15You just turn it on, pop your shoe off.
12:18Pop it on.
12:19I've worked outside in construction.
12:21Yeah.
12:21My boots get wet all the time, so this could be going swan.
12:24I'm working outside, walkers.
12:25So you would actually use this?
12:27I wouldn't allow my work boots in the house because I stunk.
12:29So this would probably be something that you could do.
12:31It's definitely usable.
12:33The Core Crusher circuit board.
12:35The high price is $149.99.
12:38I've got my core exercise here.
12:40That's it.
12:41Yep.
12:42Do you feel the burn?
12:43Yeah, I do.
12:44Is it easier on your knees?
12:48Would you feel confident pitching this on TV?
12:51I think it's extremely pitchable.
12:55Resistance.
12:58Kieran and Levi believe in the products that we've chosen, as do I.
13:01My biggest concern now is that the guys don't focus on attention to detail and the sales aspect enough,
13:06but they are excited about the product, so that does give me great hope.
13:09Non-sleep yoga mat.
13:11Now this gets me excited.
13:12Yeah, so Kieran, I can imagine you with some sweatbands and leg warmers.
13:17Love it, Kieran.
13:18Mate, I'd give you a tenner for that right now.
13:22On the other team...
13:23We need to focus on price.
13:25I want to pick one high-cost item, which we sell a few of, potentially,
13:29but obviously at a very good price.
13:31Pushing for products to suit every pocket.
13:33And then two lower-cost items, which hopefully we can sell out, potentially.
13:36Project manager, Pasha.
13:39A table tennis set with a tractable net.
13:42The lowest price is $7.99.
13:44So this ticks the box for the low-cost item.
13:48Okay, water flosser.
13:49Not gonna lie.
13:50I have one of these at home.
13:52Yeah.
13:53Ooh!
13:54You can see how quick that comes out.
13:57The lowest price is $19.99.
13:58I mean, obviously, it does hit what I said in terms of low-cost item.
14:01Okay, noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones with air purification.
14:06Interesting.
14:06Ooh, this is a cool gadget.
14:08Is it noise-cancelling? Can't hear me?
14:09Yeah, it is a very expensive product.
14:10The highest price is $449.
14:12So I think the noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones...
14:15Yep.
14:15...and the table tennis set...
14:17Yep.
14:17...and then you've got the flosser.
14:18I'm really glad we stuck to the structure.
14:20Yeah, I think we did a good job.
14:252 p.m.
14:26Hey!
14:27Hi!
14:27How are we doing?
14:28How are you, guys?
14:30Soon, teams will go live to the nation.
14:32It's your all-in-one gym.
14:34I saw something in it, and I'm gonna put my full backing into this.
14:38Premiering their chosen products.
14:40Personally, this is something that my granny would buy just to keep her so active.
14:44Kieran, Levi, and Connor.
14:46But I stand over it that when it's demoed and when it's sold well,
14:49it could actually be a real reward for us, yeah.
14:52Mm-hmm.
14:53We then bring out a portable shoe dryer.
14:57Okay.
15:03How does it work, then, exactly?
15:04So, you bang your shoes on here, on end.
15:07Will it fully dry, or...?
15:10What's it doing?
15:11Is it to dry the shoes?
15:12Does it smell nice?
15:13It dries the shoes, but it's also odour-eliminating.
15:19There we go.
15:20No, I mean, honestly, never heard of it.
15:23Bit of a peculiar one.
15:24Maybe men will buy it more?
15:26I don't see.
15:26Yeah, I mean, look, I...
15:27I personally couldn't even think I needed something like this.
15:31Yes.
15:31I am more torn towards this, just because of my experience of having wet feet.
15:36Again, in construction, I stepped in a lot of puddles, even up to my waist at times.
15:43Well, I mean, I had a few concerns about all the products that they selected.
15:47Obviously, the shoe dryer, I couldn't really understand whether it was a deodorant, freshens
15:51up the shoes.
15:52I didn't really understand what it was, so I'm a little bit concerned about that item.
15:55We then bring down a product that Kieran likes.
15:58Yoga mat.
15:59Yoga mat.
15:59With handheld straps.
16:03Yeah.
16:04What do you think, Dan?
16:05I mean, a yoga mat's a yoga mat, isn't it?
16:09Across the hall...
16:10We have the cheap option, which is a table tennis set.
16:14The big reveal...
16:16Is it amazing?
16:17No.
16:18Is it something that we can make amazing?
16:20That's with us.
16:21Of Pasha's products.
16:24Now, we have the more expensive option, noise cancellation headphone set.
16:29Do you want to pop it on?
16:29Yeah, go on.
16:30As soon as these clip in, the air starts coming out as well.
16:36Yeah, there's like a...
16:39Oh, my God.
16:40It's got it run the wrong way.
16:43Let's get it wrong now than later.
16:45Yeah, it's a little bit...
16:48Shall I try?
16:49Tricky.
16:49It's about finding it in the right place, but they do just attach...
16:52Magnetically.
16:54Yeah, the best way to do it is actually just show it like this.
17:10Priyash has been given the headphones to demonstrate and sell live on air.
17:13I mean, he couldn't fit the air purifier on the actual headphones.
17:16He didn't quite know how to turn them on.
17:19I mean, he's going live in less than an hour.
17:22I hope he does a lot better when he's actually on air.
17:25Otherwise, it's going to be unwatchable.
17:27It's a little bit Terminator-y once it's on.
17:30But ultimately, anything that does add air purification, it's an add-on.
17:34It's not the product.
17:38So, this is what we've got.
17:39We've got the bracelets.
17:42For Connor's team, Bling signed off.
17:45I trusted you.
17:46I gave you full autonomy.
17:47So, I can't not back you guys.
17:50Next, decide who sells what.
17:53Kieran, you were obviously drawn towards the yoga mat.
17:55I think you're happy to sell that.
17:57Levi, shoes, you've got the story.
17:59I'm going to lead on the circuit board.
18:01And Dan, you and Rathna, the jewelry item.
18:03And then I'm going to do...
18:04My only concern is I have a selling background.
18:08Do you want me on one of the higher priced items?
18:10I think you were very vocal about being comfortable with this.
18:13You were...
18:14I'm putting it out there.
18:15No, no, no. Oh, sorry.
18:16No, no, I'm...
18:17I'm not saying...
18:17I'm just asking, would you rather be on higher or stick to the mat?
18:21I was like, I've got this, Dan's got the jewelry.
18:25I feel like Connor doesn't trust me.
18:27I've got the lowest item,
18:29but you watch me pull the best figures out of today.
18:32I will win.
18:33Super.
18:33So, guys, let's go on out there.
18:35Have fun, good energy, and let's go make some sales.
18:38Let's do this!
18:40Let's do this!
18:41Five minutes to go.
18:43Let's do this.
18:44Smash it.
18:45Handed to the teams.
18:47Gosh, it's nerve-wracking.
18:48Scary.
18:49Two of the channel's premium sales slots.
18:52So, we look at this camera.
18:53Look at this camera always.
18:55Watching from home.
18:56Right, Joe, let's tune in.
18:59Lord Sugar and grandson Joe.
19:01Pasha, can you hear me?
19:02I can hear you.
19:03Going live first.
19:05Coming to you in ten.
19:07Priyash and Pasha.
19:08Five seconds, guys.
19:09Five, four...
19:10Standby.
19:11Three, two, and one.
19:14Both mics are live.
19:15Vision next.
19:16Still in vision.
19:20Good afternoon, folks.
19:22Ah.
19:22So, imagine this.
19:24You're after noise-cancelling headphones.
19:27Well, I've got the solution for you.
19:30He's a bit robotic, isn't he?
19:33Poor old Priyash.
19:34Yeah, a little bit.
19:35Now, imagine me this, running and running.
19:38Can you hear me?
19:39Am I saying anything?
19:41What am I saying?
19:42You can't hear me?
19:43Oh, wow.
19:44I've got no reason to want to buy these right now.
19:47Give them a bit of energy.
19:48Wow.
19:50How does it feel?
19:50Big energy, guys.
19:51It's really good.
19:52Okay, so, this here, this is going to eliminate any dirty particles in the sky.
19:59They haven't sold anything.
20:01I wonder if the gallery's screwed it up.
20:03How does it feel?
20:03Honestly, I just feel like you can't go wrong.
20:05It's comfy.
20:06You're leaving them, guys.
20:07Pick them up.
20:08Say something.
20:09It's a futuristic product.
20:10Have you seen anyone outside wearing this?
20:12I'm going to get this at any soup.
20:13It's also a futuristic product.
20:15Look how futuristic this looks.
20:17You've been on this.
20:18You've not even had a customer holding.
20:20Do something about it.
20:21Guys, we haven't sold a single one.
20:22Tell them it's the final price drop.
20:24There's a big price drop, Brian.
20:25We're going down to 249.99.
20:29We've got one caller on the line.
20:30We've got one caller on the line.
20:31Someone's in, finally.
20:32Oh, my God.
20:32We've got one person in.
20:33It's a stunning product.
20:35Let's just have a little look at it again.
20:37Oh, two sold now.
20:39Maybe that's through his mum.
20:42Wow.
20:43We're going on to our next item now, guys.
20:47So, look, you've got five seconds.
20:49I couldn't even hear anything you were saying.
20:50Wow.
20:51Transition to the next product, please.
20:52Transition to the next product.
20:53I'm going to go get one now.
20:55Me too.
20:56We're going to our next item now.
21:00Look, I've done this task a number of times,
21:02and usually it's so chaotic in the gallery,
21:05you can't hear yourself think.
21:06But here, it was utter silence.
21:09No information has got to be worse than too much information.
21:13Priyash and Pasha must have thought the earpiece wasn't working
21:16because they weren't talking.
21:18Your mics are alive.
21:19Just to remind you, your mics are alive.
21:21Keep going.
21:22Mics are alive, Pasha.
21:22Keep talking.
21:24We've got a flosser.
21:26Honestly, I'm so happy to say that I've got two of these at home.
21:29You just cannot go wrong with it.
21:32Do you want one of those?
21:33I can get you one.
21:34No.
21:35Your grandmother's got an electric one.
21:38Plug it in the mains, and it blasts out like a...
21:41A jet washer.
21:42Like a jet washer.
21:43It is.
21:43A mini jet washer.
21:45It's $29.99.
21:46It is such a cheap price for this.
21:48I'm not joking.
21:49My dentist would probably charge me about $150 to $200.
21:52That's in her experience.
21:53Make sure you mention your experience.
21:55Not anybody else's.
21:57Ever since I started using this, my plaque has reduced so much.
22:02Potentially.
22:02All of this, you've got to...
22:03Listen.
22:04You're making a lot of claims here.
22:05Now, I've had...
22:06I've had mine for about two years now.
22:09The difference it has made.
22:11Pasha, I need you to say that your experiences may differ with this product.
22:15You...
22:15Honestly, my experience with this, it has been life-changing.
22:19Obviously, your experiences may vary, Pasha.
22:21I need you to say that now.
22:22Everyone in here is saying it.
22:24You have to say your experience may differ.
22:25But everyone's experience is different.
22:28And obviously, some people, you know, it might not be for them.
22:31We got there in the end.
22:32I do want to show you guys how to use it as well.
22:36I'm going to use a salad.
22:38So, I'm just going to put some food in my teeth.
22:41And just show you.
22:50I mean, don't do that.
22:53Put it in your mouth, guys.
22:54I did just spray my face.
22:57How can you demo that?
22:59You need a stooge like Priyash.
23:02Everyone that has got one, you're going to absolutely love it.
23:05And thank you.
23:06Thank you so much.
23:08Your mic is out.
23:08Next to the table...
23:10I can't believe I sprayed my face.
23:13Karishma and Lawrence.
23:14We're going live in three, two, and one.
23:18In vision.
23:19What's up, Lawrence?
23:21Karishma, good to see you.
23:23It's nice to see you. Long time to see you.
23:24And hello.
23:25I'm Lawrence.
23:26And we have got a whirlwind of a product today for you.
23:29This is the portable at-home table tennis set.
23:33I like table tennis. I haven't played for ages.
23:36I'm a good table tennis player.
23:38It is 168 centimetres long, so we put on a little table here.
23:42Guys, there's no one calling in.
23:44Get excited. Come on, play it.
23:46A lot of energy.
23:46My dad would absolutely love this.
23:48My dad would go crazy for this.
23:49He gets so competitive with his friends on a game of table tennis.
23:53Play it, guys.
23:55Show them how to play the bats.
23:56Guys, play it. Pick up the bats.
23:57£9.99, you get really, really, really excited.
24:00Guys, play the actual ping pong.
24:02Play it. I don't know why you're not playing. Come on.
24:04Game on. First of three.
24:06OK. Well, I don't know why you're being so aggressive with it, Lawrence.
24:09Like, it's a tiny table.
24:10I don't think Lawrence should apply for the Olympics.
24:13Table tennis Olympics, somehow.
24:15Look at this box.
24:16This all packs up into a box this big.
24:19Guys, we don't have long left.
24:20I think you should keep playing the game.
24:22They started buying it when you played the game.
24:25Let's play. Let's play with each other.
24:27And, like, let's have a great time.
24:28I mean, this is fun.
24:30This is legitimately fun.
24:3212, 14 sold, guys.
24:33They're pushing now.
24:34Keep playing.
24:35We are up to 12 fires.
24:37We are going up.
24:38And we don't have long left.
24:39We've only got a couple minutes.
24:40Right. Here we go.
24:41Do it in the boardroom.
24:43Tim one end and Karen the other end.
24:45And I could be the umpire.
24:47I've had a great time.
24:48So have I, Lawrence. This has been fun.
24:50You know who I feel bad for?
24:51Anyone that missed out.
24:52Right, let them know what they're doing, guys.
24:53Clock to zero.
24:54OK, guys, you're moving on to your final product.
24:56It's the ring.
24:57OK, let's walk over here, Lawrence,
25:00so we can really get to business here.
25:01I'm impressed by this,
25:02and I can't wait for you to talk about these stones.
25:05Let me shock you right now,
25:06because in this entire building in our warehouse,
25:08back there, there's only 11 of these.
25:11There's no one on the lines at the moment.
25:12I think they need to be a bit more personal with it now.
25:15Guys, be a bit more personal with it now.
25:17Why would you get it?
25:18Jetbo is actually the gemstone capital of the world.
25:21A lot of incredible gemstones come from there,
25:23but not Tanzanite.
25:24Keep it personal to you as well.
25:26Would you buy this for your partner?
25:28Krishma, would you want this?
25:30Tanzanite only comes from one country on the globe,
25:33and that is Tanzania.
25:34Can you please just push the personal element?
25:36People want to know why you would get it.
25:38There is only an eight-mile strip in Tanzania,
25:41it's called Tanzanite,
25:42where you can get or mine this stone.
25:45Bloody boring.
25:46It's the same bloody thing all the time.
25:48When this is mined,
25:49I was really curious to know.
25:51And we've not sold a single one.
25:5450 seconds.
25:5550 seconds, guys.
25:57You will regret it if you don't get it for your wife.
25:59You will get it if you don't get it for yourself.
26:01The actual first Mosonites that we found on Earth
26:03came from an asteroid.
26:05It's unbelievable.
26:06It's unbelievable.
26:06I don't get this.
26:07Why would you keep saying it all the time?
26:10Five, four, three, two, and one.
26:13I hope someone really makes that right decision.
26:17Thank you so much.
26:18Oh, my God.
26:19None sold.
26:21No.
26:22Hi, guys.
26:24Hi.
26:24That was tough.
26:25I'm just so gutted that we didn't sell any of the ring
26:28because I feel like that is such a gorgeous item,
26:31so it just shocks me.
26:32Prishma said that jewellery is her thing.
26:34She knows what she's doing,
26:35so I had so much faith to at least sell one.
26:38It was too much history talk and not enough pushing.
26:42I'm just so gutted.
26:44We're just going to have to see tomorrow.
26:496pm.
26:50All it needs to be is better than the other team.
26:52Yeah, that's not going to be hard, is it, boys?
26:54Preparing for the air.
26:56So what's going on live?
26:57This screen.
26:58Okay, cool.
26:59Connor's team.
27:00Right, we're going live with graphics.
27:01Three, two, and one.
27:03Your mic is live.
27:04Vision next in Vision.
27:07Hello, and welcome back.
27:09As you can see down here,
27:10we have a beautiful purple aesthetic
27:12core circuit workout from home machine.
27:17Right, we're going on at 149 now.
27:19We are going live with the product at 149.
27:22This can be yours for 149.
27:25Colin, we've got no corners, mate.
27:26I need energy.
27:27I'm going to call in my colleague, Dan.
27:29Dan, are you...
27:32This is Dan.
27:32Hi, everyone.
27:33Oh, my God, look who's here.
27:35Dan, the man's turned up.
27:38Callers, what I want to do
27:39is give a demonstration of this.
27:41Show the camera the item.
27:43Workout from home.
27:44So, what I'm going to do
27:45is this is portable.
27:47You can pop it into your house at home.
27:49Dan is looking very confused.
27:53Imagine a gym and your house.
27:55Dan looks very static.
27:57Let's get some movement.
27:58I'm going to get you to pop down on your knees
27:59and do a plank for me.
28:01We also have a timer on here,
28:03so I'm going to set a 30-second timer
28:04for you to hold your plank for 30 minutes.
28:0730 minutes?
28:09Strong core.
28:10Good work, Dan.
28:11And now, I'm going to join you as well
28:13for a bit of Pilates on the same side.
28:16We've got zero callers, lads.
28:17I need Dan to really get into it.
28:20It is high resistance.
28:21There is a timer on there.
28:22Big...
28:23Yeah, Dan, show us your little pretty ones.
28:24You're having fun.
28:24You're breaking a sweat.
28:25We've got one caller on the line.
28:27Do not lose it.
28:28We have a caller on the line,
28:29so I just do want to explain to them.
28:30Dan's gone.
28:32He's knocked himself out, Dan.
28:34He's got to have a rest.
28:35And let me tell you,
28:36this is not easy.
28:38Heading to the break.
28:39Three, two, one.
28:42And thank you so much, folks.
28:44Rolling.
28:45Connor was making it look really hard.
28:48If I was watching that,
28:49I'd think I'd have to be an Olympic gymnast
28:51to be able to purchase it,
28:52and that may put me off.
28:54Do you want me to come in now?
28:56I'll call you.
28:56You call me in.
28:57Cool.
28:57Hoping the bracelet they chose will shine...
29:00Hi, Dan, can you hear us?
29:01Yeah.
29:02Good man.
29:02Dan and Rossner.
29:03Vision next in Vision.
29:06OK, well, good evening, everyone,
29:08and welcome back.
29:09Where's he looking?
29:10He's looking over there.
29:11It's one-of-a-kind piece,
29:13and it's really something for every occasion.
29:15Lots of smiles at the camera.
29:17If you're thinking of going out for a birthday,
29:19a party...
29:20Look down the camera lens, mate.
29:22Now, I am going to invite my colleague Rothner.
29:24She's going to come and try this bracelet on.
29:26So I'm just going to take the bracelet off here,
29:28clip it in.
29:31Let me just pop this in.
29:32Yep.
29:33Oh.
29:34You're fumbling around.
29:35Are you struggling with it?
29:36You're struggling.
29:37Apologies.
29:38That's all right.
29:39All you've got to do is clip it in,
29:40and there's two little claps here.
29:42There you are.
29:43Done.
29:43Price drop, 119.
29:45Oh, what's that?

29:53Jamie.
29:54We've just sold.
29:55So, Jamie, you've bought yourself this beautiful, beautiful bracelet,
29:58and I really hope that you enjoy this.
29:59Good lad.
30:00Really well done, mate.
30:02I think they must have jiffed him up.
30:03He's warmed up a little bit.
30:05Yeah.
30:05Two-minute countdown.
30:06OK, we've got two minutes left,
30:08so what I'm going to do,

30:44Outstanding.
30:45Thank you.
30:46Next on screen.
30:47We're going live in three, two, and one.
30:51Sales supremo, Kieran.
30:53Your mic is live.
30:55Vision next.
30:55In Vision.
30:57Your mic is up.
30:59Hello and welcome.
31:01My name is Kieran.
31:01Today, I've got these luxury yoga mats.
31:05Now, a mat?
31:06You can only say so much about a mat.
31:08I mean, what can you say about a mat?
31:09They come with a little strap like this.
31:14For a real estate salesman,
31:16it's not setting the world alight here at the moment.
31:20Kieran, we can't see the mat.
31:22Get on the ground.
31:23Get on the ground.
31:23Get on the mat.
31:26Can he hear us?
31:28Kieran, not if he can hear us.
31:31Brilliant.
31:32Just more energy.
31:32Let's get into it.
31:33Yeah.
31:34There we go.
31:35And then you whack it over your shoulder.
31:38You can walk anywhere you want with that.
31:40This is a hard sell.
31:41A real hard sell.
31:43Kieran, talk about how comfortable it feels on you.
31:46Goodness me.
31:48Is there some yoga, some gymnastics, some ab?
31:51I mean, what's nice is the grip on it,
31:53if you're doing a little workout, you know.
31:57He's in trouble here, aren't he?
31:59He really is.
32:02Keep talking.
32:04If you're one of them people that want to wake up
32:07and get that morning stretch...
32:08Kieran, we're going to do final price with Levi in.
32:10We're going to do final price now. Ready?
32:12My colleague Levi is going to come and show you
32:15how to do some yoga.
32:16How are we doing, everybody?
32:17My name's Levi.
32:19Oh, here he is.
32:20One minute.
32:21Final price.
32:22Final price?
32:22Levi, well, I tell you what,
32:24if the final price has come in,
32:25I'm going to have to knock out some pretzels.
32:26If he does the pretzels...
32:27Are we ready?
32:28I want everyone on the lines now.
32:30One, two, three...
32:33Final price.
32:34Push them.
32:34Ten seconds.
32:35Ten seconds.
32:35Come by these now.
32:36Come on.
32:37Keep talking.
32:38Three, two, and one.
32:42All right, your mics are out.
32:44Dead horse to flog.
32:45A dead horse to flog.
32:47Very good.
32:49All right, stand by for your mic.
32:50Last shot for Connor's team.
32:54Levi's chosen gadget.
32:55Three, two, one, your mic is live.
32:58Which camera are we looking at?
33:00Your mic is live.
33:03Right, how we doing, everybody?
33:05And welcome, I'm Levi.
33:07Oh, here we go again.
33:08This is a shoe dryer.
33:10Talk about how much your missus will love that.
33:12She'll be so impressed with you.
33:13I know, when, after me and my missus
33:15been on the rise round town,
33:17bit of a smelly shoe,
33:18all I have to do is just pop it up, pop it on.
33:20You'd put me off listening to you, mate.
33:22You really would.
33:23We're going to show you how this is done.
33:26Kieran, we can't see your head.
33:27If you're going to come in, come in.
33:28Put some water in.
33:30How to buy.
33:30Pick up the phone and call the number.
33:32There's two people, mate.
33:33That's it.
33:34He's got it, he's got it.
33:35We just need to trust him.
33:36Odour is eliminated.
33:38Final two minutes, starting now.
33:40Okay, we've sold one.
33:41I'm in construction,
33:42and my feet were absolutely stinking.
33:46And do you know what else happened?
33:47I got athlete's foot from it.
33:48I know, it's minging.
33:50You've got a ratchet jaws about athlete's foot.
33:53But the thing is,
33:54you're not just going to get athlete's foot
33:55from just working outside the construction.
33:57It's something you didn't think you need,
33:58but you'll use it every single day.
34:00Just relax.
34:01My girlfriend really needs these sort of,
34:03they stink.
34:04Oh, cheers, buddy.
34:06Thank you.
34:06I'll put them on here for you.
34:07This is torture.
34:08This is...
34:10Think about all the shoes that you can have dried.
34:12No vintage.
34:13Any kind of, you know,
34:14living in the UK,
34:15bad weather happens all the time.
34:17It's only 25 seconds.
34:18You've got Ails.
34:19You've got your gym trainers.
34:22It's got some more trainers.
34:24Right, I'm getting fed up now.
34:2620 seconds.
34:26How long more is this going on for?
34:28You've got 20 seconds there.
34:29Get on the phone.
34:29Eight, seven, six,
34:30very chaotic.
34:31We're being very chaotic right now.
34:32Five, four, three, two...
34:35We won, go on.
34:36Do it, do it, do it.
34:37Do it.
34:37Do it.
34:38Your work is out.
34:39Thank you very much.
34:40Is that it?
34:41Thank God for that.
34:43Whey!
34:45Come on.
34:45That was really good.
34:46High five.
34:47That was hard.
34:49Look, did we sell as much as we wanted to?
34:51No.
34:52I am extremely disappointed.
34:53That was chaotic.
34:54The failure of the task,
34:56if we do lose tomorrow in the ballroom,
34:58it's got to come down to the PM.
34:59People with no sales experience
35:01have gone on and sold.
35:04Conor didn't.
35:05Let's get out of here.
35:06Okay, let's go.
35:06Let's go.
35:07Tonight, back to the house.
35:11Tomorrow, final sales revealed
35:13in the ballroom.
35:23I'm a little bit nervous today
35:24because obviously he didn't sell
35:26any of my deal of the day pieces.
35:28So, a little bit upset
35:29and scared to what's going to happen
35:31in the ballroom today.
35:33I brought cornerback to the ballroom last week.
35:35He's definitely going to bring me back
35:37if we lose.
35:38It's game on.
35:39I'm ready for a war.
35:40I feel like I'm walking into a lion's den
35:42with nothing to defend myself with.
35:43It is a live TV selling challenge.
35:45I'm not sure if I sold anything,
35:47so that leaves me
35:48in a pretty vulnerable position.
35:50You can go through
35:51to the boardroom now.
36:09So, TV shopping.
36:14Team Alpha,
36:16I believe that Karishma,
36:19you wanted to be the project manager.
36:22Is that right?
36:22Yes, Lord Sugar.
36:23But then again, Pasha,
36:24you haven't been a project manager,
36:26have you?
36:27No, Lord Sugar.
36:28You've been abducted for the past nine months.
36:29I was waiting for the right task.
36:31I haven't got experience live selling,
36:33however,
36:33I do have a big following on TikTok
36:35and I do have a social media presence,
36:38so, you know,
36:39I just felt like my skills and abilities
36:41would be best for this sort of task.
36:44So, Pasha's passion versus Karishma's charisma.
36:49Yeah, I've heard that
36:49and I think we worked really well together.
36:52OK, so, product selection.
36:54The structure that I went in with
36:55is I want a high-cost item
36:57and a low-cost item.
36:58If we can sell just a few
37:00of the high-cost items,
37:01potentially that could be
37:02the reason that we win the task.
37:04So, what you ended up with
37:05was the headphones,
37:07the water flosser
37:09and table tennis.
37:11Yeah.
37:11So, where was your luck,
37:13Karishma, while all this was going on?
37:15So, Lawrence and I
37:17spoke with the jewellery expert.
37:18We were also joined with Rothner and Dan.
37:20We kind of were competing
37:22to get the product we wanted.
37:24We expressed our interest
37:25in the mid-range item.
37:26You mean the ring?
37:28The ring, the Tanzanite ring.
37:29I was watching you
37:31selling that stuff.
37:32Apparently,
37:33there was 11 in stock
37:35or something like that.
37:36Is that right?
37:36Yeah.
37:37Yeah.
37:39There still is 11 in stock
37:41also at the moment.
37:43Yeah.
37:43Because I'm afraid
37:44you didn't succeed.
37:45And one of the reasons
37:46I think you didn't succeed
37:47was because,
37:48in my opinion,
37:50you missed out
37:51the point of who
37:52you were selling to.
37:53It should be love.
37:55It should be about,
37:56you know,
37:56a gift for somebody.
37:58Instead,
37:58you start giving them
37:59a geographic
38:02description
38:03of where it comes from.
38:04Who gives a shit
38:05about that?
38:07Not exactly
38:08Lord of the Rings
38:09there, my friend.
38:09Not quite, no.
38:11I mean,
38:11in fairness,
38:12Karishma knew a lot
38:13about the rings
38:14and I think
38:15there was a bit
38:15of scarcity
38:16because it only
38:17comes from a very
38:18small area.
38:19Hmm.
38:20Anyway,
38:20I think the first
38:21people on your team
38:23was you
38:24and you
38:25with the headphones,
38:26right?
38:27Correct.
38:27Okay.
38:28And in the gallery
38:28was them two.
38:30Correct.
38:30Yeah.
38:31Yeah.
38:31And silence,
38:32I heard.
38:33You sat there
38:34doing nothing
38:35for a while.
38:37Karishma,
38:38you were close
38:38to the mic.
38:39Do you agree
38:39with that?
38:40So we
38:41were instructing...
38:43Was you getting
38:43much feedback
38:44initially?
38:45Initially,
38:46to be honest,
38:47my earpiece
38:47was cutting out
38:49every...
38:50It wasn't cutting out.
38:51They weren't talking.
38:52Oh, okay.
38:52Well...
38:53I mean,
38:53my noise-cancelling
38:54headphones,
38:55it sounded like
38:55you must have had
38:56noise-cancelling
38:57microphones in there.
38:59Anyway,
39:00then we come on
39:01to the flosser.
39:02Yeah.
39:03I was very confident
39:04selling it
39:04just because I have
39:05it at home
39:06and I did want
39:07to have food
39:08there as well,
39:09which unfortunately...
39:10I saw that.
39:10You had some spinach.
39:12You stick some
39:13in your mouth,
39:14right,
39:14and then you get
39:15the machine,
39:16blow on it,
39:17and then you take
39:18it out of your mouth
39:19with your fingers again.
39:20Yeah, it was a bit...
39:21Very, very, very good.
39:22Yeah.
39:23The water power
39:24coming out that thing.
39:24It was powerful, yeah.
39:25I could use it
39:26to clean my car.
39:27Yeah, yeah.
39:28And then there's
39:29the ping-pong.
39:30I like that
39:31ping-pong thing.
39:32I was thinking
39:33of setting it up
39:34in here for me
39:34and Tim to play.
39:37Good luck.
39:38You sold 28
39:39of those, actually.
39:40Yeah.
39:41Anyway, there we are.
39:42So, Team Eclipse.
39:45Now, Connor,
39:46you ended up
39:47with what I will call
39:48the core machine,
39:50yoga mat.
39:51Correct.
39:51Boring.
39:53And the shoe dryer,
39:55unusual item, right?
39:57So, you start off,
40:00Connor, with the...
40:01The core circus.
40:02The core circus.
40:03You look like you're
40:03having an argument
40:04with an ironing board, actually.
40:06Yeah.
40:06Yeah, I definitely...
40:08Look, I came in
40:09with high energy
40:09and passion
40:10and I was hoping
40:10to shift that
40:11by using my energy.
40:12Then you call upon Dan,
40:14who comes in,
40:16done a few bits and pieces
40:17and then went off.
40:20We were doing
40:21a couple's workout
40:22at one stage.
40:23I was doing Pilates
40:23and Dan was doing
40:24some core exercises.
40:25Yeah.
40:25I do think it was sellable.
40:27I just probably
40:28didn't do myself justice.
40:31Moving on from there,
40:32then.
40:33So, you had the bracelet.
40:35You looked like
40:36you were putting on
40:36handcuffs at one stage.
40:40Or like you lost the key.
40:42You were fumbling around.
40:44Dan did very well
40:45in terms of engaging
40:46with the customers
40:47and saying their names.
40:48was actually saying
40:49which were the key.
40:49Yeah, it was quite clever,
40:51that when we said
40:52thank you for the order
40:53and all that.
40:53Oh, they got some orders,
40:55did they?
40:55Oh, yeah.
40:56They got some orders for it.
40:57I was extremely proud of Dan
40:59for putting himself
40:59out of his comfort zone
41:00almost and really
41:01applying himself.
41:02He exceeded
41:03probably all of our expectations.
41:05There you go.
41:06Compliments there, Dan.
41:07That's very kind.
41:08Compliments.
41:09All right.
41:10Moving on.
41:11We've got Kieran
41:12on the...
41:14Yoga mat.
41:14Yoga mat.
41:15And that, I mean,
41:16I've got to tell you,
41:17that was painful,
41:19my friend.
41:19Painful.
41:20Did you say,
41:21I'll do that one?
41:22I said,
41:23I would do that one.
41:26But I also offered
41:27to take a high-end item as well.
41:29It looked like a thick
41:30doormat to me.
41:31It was...
41:32Yeah.
41:33As yoga mats go,
41:34it wasn't bad.
41:34It's a stack setter.
41:35Yeah.
41:35Can I just add,
41:36Lord Sugar,
41:36I expected that the boys
41:37would probably pick an item
41:38that they were personally
41:39really confident selling.
41:41Kieran's great at selling,
41:42so I was pretty shocked
41:43that he was just
41:44going to be selling the mats,
41:45but then he was confident
41:46he could sell them
41:46in large quantity.
41:48Okay.
41:48Well, moving on,
41:50we went to the most unusual item,
41:53the shoe dryer,
41:55which Levi took the role.
41:58That's right,
41:58Lord Sugar,
41:59yeah, that's correct.
42:00I mean,
42:00it's an unusual item.
42:02In fact,
42:02I bought one
42:03from my wife for Christmas,
42:04so she's going to be delighted
42:06with it, I'm sure,
42:07when she opens it up.
42:10I think she's going to throw
42:11that straight back at you.
42:12Yeah.
42:13I mean,
42:14you're putting shoes
42:15on the wrong way round,
42:16pouring water in trainers.
42:19To be fair,
42:20Lord Sugar.
42:21And then Butch Cassidy
42:23comes running in
42:24at the end
42:25to help you out,
42:26you know?
42:27It was quite hard
42:28to get me bearings,
42:29to be fair, Lord Sugar.
42:30It were,
42:30in gallery,
42:32it sounded like
42:32somebody ate the microphone
42:34and people were just shouting.
42:36And then,
42:37yeah,
42:38it was hard to concentrate,
42:39try and get a point across
42:40while it's getting
42:41a load in the ear.
42:42Hmm.
42:44Right.
42:45Okay.
42:45Well,
42:47it's that time now.
42:49Let's have a look
42:50and see
42:50how we did,
42:52shall we?
42:53So,
42:54um,
42:56thing you should know
42:58about TV selling
42:59is that
43:00you may have
43:01expectations
43:02of what you think
43:04you sold,
43:04but as you know,
43:05people change their minds,
43:07right?
43:07So,
43:08I've now got
43:09the real confirmed figures
43:11from the shopping channel.
43:13So,
43:14Tim,
43:14can you tell me
43:15the final results
43:17of your team?
43:18Well,
43:19you mentioned
43:19a number of sales
43:20had been made,
43:20but unfortunately,
43:21not all of those sales
43:23went through,
43:23including
43:24the one high-priced item
43:26of the Core Crusher
43:27that was almost sold,
43:29but somebody pulled out.
43:30But they still managed
43:31to sell 18 products,
43:33giving them
43:34a total sales
43:35on the day
43:36of £773.82.
43:39Well done, everyone.
43:40Right.
43:41OK.
43:42Good.
43:42Karen,
43:43same question.
43:44How did your team get on?
43:45Well,
43:46unfortunately,
43:46not all of their sales
43:48went through either,
43:50including one of the
43:51high-priced headphones.
43:53And their highest-priced
43:55item,
43:56Alan,
43:56the ring,
43:57you know,
43:57they didn't sell
43:58any of those at all.
44:01But they did still
44:02manage to sell
44:0340 items
44:04across the hour,
44:06totaling
44:08£893.60.
44:11Right.
44:13Well done,
44:14Team Alpha.
44:15Your first time
44:16as a project manager
44:17and you pulled it through.
44:19Yeah.
44:20OK,
44:20make your way
44:21back to the house.
44:22I'll see you
44:22on the next task,
44:23OK?
44:24All right.
44:24Thank you.
44:25Thank you.
44:26Good luck, guys.
44:30Stop.
44:31Oh, yes.
44:33Team Alpha was my
44:34worst task as well.
44:35I'm so proud of you guys.
44:37Well.
44:39OK,
44:40well,
44:41so go away,
44:42have a chat amongst yourselves,
44:44come back
44:45and we'll decide
44:45who's leaving.
44:47OK,
44:48off you go.
44:50Thank you.
44:53Big item
44:54made the difference,
44:54didn't it?
44:55Well, no,
44:56I mean,
44:56they sold 40 items
44:57and they sold 18.
44:59Hmm.
45:01Oh, my God.
45:03You smashed it,
45:04Tasha.
45:05I cannot tell you
45:06how relieved I am.
45:08Obviously,
45:09I've had my two wins
45:10as sub-team,
45:10but that's not enough.
45:11I wanted to step forward
45:12and deliver.
45:13One more task
45:14and then we're in
45:15the final pile.
45:16We just need to get there now.
45:21One of the things
45:21that I did say
45:22in strategy
45:23is bringing high energy
45:24was great,
45:24but I think ultimately
45:25what you two failed to do
45:27was to harness it
45:27in the correct way.
45:28We sold, mate.
45:30Yeah,
45:30and I accept I didn't.
45:31You guys only sold
45:32two units each.
45:32I had a roll-up
45:33bit of foam, mate.
45:34Conor sold nothing.
45:35Kieran didn't sell a lot
45:36and he's supposed
45:37to be an amazing salesperson
45:38and quite frankly,
45:38I don't really know
45:39what Levi's good at
45:39other than being a great guy.
45:41The one person
45:41I was disappointed in,
45:42Kieran,
45:43is you.
45:43I have to say,
45:44I've worked with you
45:44and I thought you were great,
45:45but when you were presenting,
45:47I honestly thought
45:47you'd do a bit better.
45:48We failed the task
45:49for lack of instruction
45:50and no sales.
45:51Kieran loves to deflect
45:53and he loves to say
45:53he can't do something
45:54at the last moment.
45:55He said he'd take
45:55a high-ticket item
45:56just as we were heading
45:56out the door.
45:57As he sounded enthusiastic
46:02the reality is
46:03is that we didn't make
46:03enough sales.
46:04It's down to selling.
46:05I mean, myself and Roth
46:06have sold the most
46:06and I know it wasn't loads,
46:08but we sold
46:08high-ticketed items
46:10and sold multiple of them.
46:11I would have thought
46:11with lower-ticketed items
46:12we could have sold
46:13a few more.
46:13The failure in this task
46:14lies with project manager
46:15Conor and Kieran.
46:17The polar opposites
46:18that don't work well
46:19together in it
46:19and it showed in this task.
46:32Yes, would you send
46:34the candidates in, please?
46:48Well, you lot lost
46:51by £120, which is not a lot of money.
46:57Now, Alpha sold 40 products
47:00and you sold 18 only.
47:03So, Conor, the core machine
47:05that you demonstrated,
47:08the last time the professional
47:09presenter did it,
47:11they sold 55.
47:13Yeah, so my plan
47:14with the core circuit yoga
47:16was two target audience.
47:18The older or maybe new to fitness
47:19and then the more experienced
47:21user of fitness like myself.
47:22I demonstrated it as someone
47:23who's maybe avid in fitness
47:25and wants to use it
47:25to enhance their workouts
47:26maybe after a cardio session.
47:27I think it implied
47:28you had to be very fit
47:29to use it.
47:30Yeah.
47:31Eddie, I'm not surprised
47:32you were sweating
47:33because you hadn't sold any.
47:35Yeah, definitely.
47:36I did give it my all.
47:37It did give my energy
47:37and I hold my hands up.
47:38I'm disappointed as PM
47:40that I didn't sell one item.
47:41I mean, Dan walking in,
47:43it looked like you called in
47:43a bloke from IT, you know.
47:46Now then,
47:50Rothner and Dan,
47:51the bracelets,
47:54you only sold three.
47:55They usually sell 21
47:58in that slot.
47:59I am disappointed
48:00that we only ended up
48:01selling three of them.
48:02I did really believe
48:02in the product
48:03and I hoped it'd come across.
48:05If you'd have got the ring
48:06and sold three of them,
48:08like you sold three
48:09of the bracelets,
48:09you would have won.
48:10So we didn't go with that.
48:11So why didn't you get the ring?
48:12We thought maybe
48:13Connor might find the ring
48:14a bit too expensive.
48:15He was quite clear
48:16about asking for a mid-range item.
48:17But when I asked for numbers
48:20in the brainstorm,
48:21he didn't give any numbers.
48:22My mid-range could be
48:23very different to your mid-range.
48:24Your role was to pick
48:26deal of the day.
48:27What she's trying to say
48:28is that it was left
48:29to our own devices
48:29to pick what we thought
48:31was the most sensible item
48:32that we could sell on TV.
48:33But that's why you replaced
48:35and you picked the cheapest.
48:36Yeah.
48:38Now, moving on,
48:40the yoga mat.
48:41This company has sold
48:44390 in the last session.
48:46You sold six.
48:48And you say
48:49you are a super salesman.
48:52Exactly.
48:52I'm a salesman.
48:53Yeah, absolutely.
48:54Well, you didn't sell many,
48:56did you?
48:56So I did offer to swap
48:58the high-end item.
48:59I was told no.
49:00Were you not extremely
49:01enthusiastic about the yoga mat?
49:03I said I could take the...
49:04No, I said I wasn't, mate.
49:04I'd done the sit-ups.
49:05I'd done a few press-ups.
49:06Exactly.
49:06Levi was...
49:07Levi come in
49:08to perform on the mat
49:09right at the inn.
49:10You should have sent him in either.
49:12It were a bit painful to watch
49:13so I looked at galleries.
49:14You were painful to watch,
49:16my friend.
49:16You were really painful
49:18to watch all the way around
49:19including the shoe dryer thing.
49:21I mean,
49:22what a bloody product that is.
49:24And do you know what?
49:25They usually sell 300 in a session.
49:28300!
49:28I've never heard of it.
49:29And you sold three.
49:31I did try to explain
49:32about the shoe drying properties
49:33but when I had somebody
49:34like team shouting in my ears
49:36I had Kieran walking towards me
49:38who were very distracted for me.
49:40Well,
49:40one of the comments
49:41from a viewer
49:42was that this is a joke.
49:44I'm flabbergasted.
49:45I can't watch it anymore.
49:46They tuned out.
49:48Right?
49:48And I have to say
49:49I was flabbergasted also.
49:51I think it was diabolical.
49:53I do believe that
49:55on reflection
49:56it is...
50:00It's actually time...
50:02I've won most at Tasselor.
50:03No, you didn't win them.
50:05You didn't win them.
50:06You didn't.
50:06You was on winning teams.
50:07So, you know what, Levi?
50:12It is with regret.
50:14You're fired.
50:15OK.
50:16Thank you for the opportunity
50:17Baroness Brady, Lord Sugar.
50:18Tim, thank you.
50:19If you ever need an earn,
50:21get in touch with me.
50:22Yeah.
50:23Thank you.
50:24Take care.
50:25Best of luck.
50:26Thanks.
50:32Um, Connor,
50:35which two people
50:36are you bringing back
50:37into this boardroom?
50:38Um, based on what I've heard
50:40I'm going to bring back Kieran
50:41and I'm going to bring back Dan.
50:44Right.
50:45OK.
50:46Rothenar, you can go back to the house.
50:48Thank you, Lord Sugar.
50:50Good luck.
50:56OK, you three gentlemen
50:58step outside
50:59and, um,
51:01when you come back in
51:02we'll see who
51:03is going to leave.
51:05OK?
51:06Thank you very much.
51:13I can see why
51:14you made a decision
51:15to exit Levi
51:17from the process.
51:18Yeah, I mean,
51:19on this particular task
51:20it was the worst TV selling
51:22I've ever seen
51:23in this whole process.
51:24The worst.
51:25Painful.
51:26Anyway,
51:27Kieran, I mean,
51:28he's a chirpy chappy.
51:29He chirped a lot
51:30but he didn't make the sales.
51:32The important thing
51:33on this task
51:33was to convert
51:34the products
51:35to something
51:36that the audience wanted
51:37and, unfortunately,
51:38he made such a hash
51:39of that mat
51:40nobody bought
51:41anywhere near the numbers
51:42that you said
51:43you got from
51:44the channel themselves.
51:45Then the men.
51:47Obviously,
51:47they sold three bracelets.
51:49Had they instead of
51:50chosen the ring
51:51and sold three rings
51:52they would have won.
51:53I mean,
51:53he was with Rothenar
51:54when they picked it.
51:55Maybe they didn't engage
51:56the buyers
51:57as well as they could have.
51:59Connor.
52:00Well,
52:00Connor's a great talker.
52:02He emphasised
52:03his ability
52:04in front of the camera
52:04but he wasn't that good
52:06behind the camera.
52:07Unfortunately,
52:08a lot of this
52:08does rest on his shoulders.
52:12Could you send the three
52:14of them in, please?
52:24So, on this task,
52:26Connor,
52:27you were the project manager.
52:29You've been a project manager
52:31twice, right?
52:33And regretfully,
52:34you lost twice.
52:35Hmm.
52:36Why have you brought
52:37these two back in then?
52:39When I made my selection,
52:40I reviewed the entire process
52:41that we've made it here.
52:43When it comes to Kieran,
52:44in fairness to Kieran,
52:45Kieran has grabbed the bull
52:46by the horns
52:47and he's really applied himself
52:48but at times he's been
52:49called difficult to work with
52:51and disruptive.
52:52So, in terms of looking
52:52for your next apprentice,
52:53I just don't know
52:54if he would be
52:54the correct candidate.
52:56Everyone works
52:56with people differently.
52:58Correct.
52:58Yeah.
52:59And that's not my decision
53:00to make
53:00but that's just my perspective.
53:01When it came to Dan,
53:02Dan was slow
53:03to get into the process
53:04and maybe didn't apply himself
53:06every week
53:07to the extent
53:07that me personally has.
53:09Well, I mean,
53:09this was a selling task.
53:11Myself,
53:11I sold £300 worth of stuff.
53:13They sold £60
53:14between them both
53:14and I think
53:15throughout the whole
53:15of this process,
53:16I know it took me
53:17a little while
53:17to settle into it
53:18but this has been
53:19a big learning curve
53:20for myself.
53:20I've developed
53:21a lot of skills.
53:21I've learned how
53:22to work with people
53:22but I wouldn't necessarily
53:23usually work with
53:24and I think
53:24I've really grown
53:25in this process
53:26in terms of becoming
53:27a better business person
53:28for yourself or each other.
53:30Hmm.
53:31Kieran,
53:31super salesman,
53:32sold six,
53:33been on the losing side
53:36five times.
53:38Yes, Lord Sugar.
53:39I've put myself
53:40forward for a lot of things.
53:42I haven't shied away
53:43and I've given
53:44everything my all.
53:45It's a team effort
53:46not just an individual effort
53:47so where I might have
53:48small wins,
53:49the team may not always win.
53:50Hmm.
53:51Right.
53:52Well,
53:53here we have a dilemma
53:54really.
53:55I have to make a decision.
53:57Lord Sugar,
53:58if I may.
53:59Yes.
54:00I've been project manager
54:01twice on the same task.
54:03And you won once
54:05by a deep foot.
54:05Arguably a one,
54:06a win, yeah.
54:07Yeah.
54:09If I stay in this process
54:11I would like to be
54:12the project manager
54:12on task 10
54:13to prove to you
54:14what I can do.
54:15If I lose
54:15we shake hands
54:16as I walk out.
54:17Right.
54:19That's very interesting.
54:21Anybody else
54:21want to make that offer?
54:23I don't feel the need to.
54:25I can if I want to.
54:26I felt that
54:27over the last eight tasks
54:28I don't need another task
54:30to prove myself.
54:31I have given myself
54:32one...
54:33You know you've lost five
54:34within the losing team
54:35five times.
54:36Correct.
54:37And every time
54:37within those tasks
54:38the project manager
54:38has usually always
54:39had a very specific role
54:40that they've wanted me
54:41to excel in.
54:42And at numerous times
54:43within this process
54:44I have excelled.
54:44I don't need a tenth task
54:46to beg you
54:46to take me.
54:48You don't?
54:49I don't.
54:50I don't think I do.
54:51What about you Dan?
54:52I feel like
54:53over the past nine tasks
54:55I've really kind of
54:55proven myself
54:56in many different ways.
54:58I do believe
54:59that ultimately
55:00you've got to decide
55:01who you want to go
55:01into business with.
55:02I know that
55:02I've only ever worked
55:03for myself.
55:03I'm an entrepreneur
55:04through and through.
55:05That's all I know.
55:06And the industry
55:06that I'm in
55:07I know it so well.
55:08So it's whether you think
55:09there's great potential
55:10with my business
55:11that I've got
55:11and if it's something
55:12you want to join me
55:12on the journey with.
55:15I have observed you
55:17over the past nine weeks.
55:23Dan
55:26you're going to remain
55:27in this process, okay?
55:29Thank you, Lord Sugar.
55:32This leaves me with you too.
55:37And...
55:40Yeah.
55:48At this stage, Connor,
55:49it's been very nice
55:50to meet you
55:52and be associated
55:53with you
55:54but I have to think
55:55about a kind of
55:57a gut feeling, okay?
55:59So you're fired.
56:01Thank you so much
56:01for the opportunity.
56:02I've had an amazing time.
56:04You've come through
56:04nine weeks
56:05of difficult stuff.
56:07Brilliant.
56:07And you've done good.
56:09Yeah.
56:09Okay, so I wish you well.
56:10Thank you so much, everyone.
56:11I've had an amazing time.
56:12Well done.
56:12Best of luck, Connor.
56:20Right, gentlemen.
56:22Difficult decision there.
56:24You two go back to the house.
56:26I'll see you on the next task.
56:28You are going to be
56:29the project manager.
56:31You ask for it.
56:32You got it.
56:33I lose.
56:33Okay?
56:34You've got it.
56:35And I've got bad news for you.
56:37It's got nothing to do
56:38with selling houses.
56:39Okay?
56:40Off you go.
56:40Thank you.
56:41That's right.
56:42Thanks.
56:46Wow.
56:47Kieran, be careful
56:47what you wish for.
56:48Big gamble.
56:50Connor has really learned
56:51a lot from the process.
56:52I wish him well.
56:53I do wish him well.
56:54I think he's ready
56:54for the next stage
56:55of his business life.
57:00I have done so many things
57:01that I never would have done
57:02if it wasn't for this process.
57:03We all had a scream.
57:05We had a laugh.
57:06It was an amazing time.
57:08I am gutted about it.
57:09It is what it is.
57:10I'm a big believer
57:10that everything happens
57:11for a reason.
57:12I'm sure there's another
57:12investor out there for me.
57:15I do honestly think
57:16that Connor's had his chances
57:18now, but he might have
57:20talked his way out of it.
57:21Who's fought the most
57:22is what we want to know.
57:24Kieran definitely
57:25looked fuming
57:26in Losers Cafe.
57:28There's no one
57:29I would want to go up
57:30against less than Kieran.
57:31Speaking of the devil.
57:36Well done.
57:37Well done, boys.
57:38Danny, I need you
57:39coming back.
57:40Oh my God, guys.
57:41Sit down.
57:42Tell us what happened.
57:44It was like proper heated.
57:46Yeah.
57:46And then I just went,
57:48I'll be PM next week.
57:49If I lose, I'll walk.
57:51Did you?
57:51The most Kieran thing
57:51I've ever had.
57:52Did you actually?
57:52Yeah, if I lose, I'll walk.
57:54Wow.
57:55Cousy.
57:55Oh my gosh.
57:58Now, seven candidates remain.
58:00The search for Lord Sugar's
58:03next business partner
58:05continues.
58:07Next time.
58:08You're going to come up
58:09with a new pet product.
58:12Pets.
58:12What does a cat like?
58:14Oh, they like cheese.
58:16Pressure.
58:17It's really terrible.
58:18I don't want to hear
58:19none of that anymore.
58:19It's negative.
58:20It's put me in a bad mood.
58:21And in the boardroom.
58:22You didn't try hard enough.
58:24You didn't push them enough.
58:26Walkies.
58:26You're fired.
58:29And you can get all
58:31the unfinished business
58:32with Angela Scanlon
