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.
00:19Run, run, run, run!
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.
00:31Fifteen, 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.
00:40It's a 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.
01:00I think there's a lot of good, strong candidates here.
01:02Still nine people.
01:03Game is on.
01:04Game is on.
01:05It feels like more of a fight now.
01:07I can't lie to you.
01:08Everyone has to step up to the plate.
01:10Like, you literally cannot hide.
01:12Oh, text.
01:14Oh, it's from Lord Sugar.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:17I didn't know who he's going to be.
01:18Let's play this.
01:20Good evening.
01:21I'm sorry to interrupt your downtime,
01:23but I wanted to let you know about your next task.
01:27And what better way to do that than via the small screen?
01:30Because being on screen is what you lot are going to have to get used to.
01:38Oh, my God.
01:48You have to select a range of products before producing and presenting your own slot.
01:55The team that generates the most money from sales will win,
01:58and on the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
02:02And, by the way, I will be watching your every move.
02:06Oh, my God.
02:07And because this is a sales task, I want to see you all selling.
02:12All of us.
02:13There is nowhere to hide.
02:14Yeah.
02:14So, good luck.
02:15I'll see you in the boardroom in a couple of days.
02:17So, it's different this year.
02:19Everyone's selling.
02:20Everyone's got to get on the telly.
02:21And just to know that there's, like, thousands of people watching you,
02:24like, so that there's no room for messing up.
02:26Yeah.
02:26I can't wait.
02:27I've been looking forward to this one.
02:28Good luck.
02:28I'm very excited.
02:36I'm looking forward to this task, like, so I'm excited.
02:39Eight hours till teams go live.
02:41There's only one reason why I'm dressed up like this today, guys.
02:44I'm ready.
02:45I'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.
03:00As a consultant on social media, a big part of that was live TV selling and live selling on TikTok.
03:06I mean, because of your experience, Kirishma, I have to go with the skill set I'm going to have to
03:10save for you.
03:11Likewise, I feel exactly the same.
03:13You've put together a very compelling case.
03:15I do get it.
03:16But even with your knowledge, it can be implemented with me being project manager.
03:20That's just my opinion.
03:21And 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 don't feel like I'm okay.
03:40Let's do it, then.
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 Priyash were swayed by the fact that Pasha hasn't been project manager and would like to give
03:54it 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.
04:10Connor.
04:10I'm happy to put myself forward.
04:12I have experience in live stream and obviously in the selling in the market.
04:15I 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 10 years experience in selling.
04:32Live selling at all?
04:34I do a lot of video work.
04:36I feel a waste of a bit of time.
04:37I have done social media live streaming.
04:40Shall we go to a boat?
04:42Kieran.
04:44Connor it is.
04:45Connor 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.
04:55I 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 for the job here.
05:05I feel like the money is going to be in the beauty products, personally.
05:08Putting 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.
05:19If we love the product and we can relate to it, then we can sell it and I know it
05:23isn't.
05:23This is a bit of a selling strategy.
05:25This is my personal strategy.
05:26S stands for solve a problem.
05:28When you sell something, if it doesn't solve a problem, it's harder to sell it.
05:32E, 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 and, you
05:52know, 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.
06:09Okay.
06:09But, yeah, I mean, thank you for that, Krishma.
06:11That's great.
06:12That's really good.
06:12With 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, don't really care about the quality of it?
06:41Or you guys are going to be selling it.
06:42What 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.
06:56It's whatever you guys feel more comfortable with.
06:58I would not buy anything in the thousands on a TV shopping channel.
07:02Yes.
07:03And 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 price item, you can sell them.
07:09Yep.
07:10Lowest profit.
07:10But if the highest item isn't that expensive, you guys and together will be able to deduce
07:15what is the best thing to sell.
07:17Mm-hmm.
07:18Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:20I do feel like the pricing strategy wasn't 100% clear.
07:24Yes, 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.
07:33Because we don't know the prices, what we'll do, myself and Dan, look at the selection that
07:36we have there, look at the cheaper side and higher side, and then just ideally pick the
07:39one in the middle, yeah?
07:40Yeah.
07:42Christian, obviously, you're very good at jewellery and you understand that, so I would
07:46love you to sub-team lead on that side, and I would like Laurence 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
07:53so we sell more volume?
07:55Affordable.
07:56Make that your key word.
07:58Cool.
07:58Let's get going.
07:59Good luck, guys.
08:07Everyone in this process has been a project manager once for the right task, and even though
08:12we'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?
08:25Because 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
08:31that you might be there that you're going to lose your train of thought.
08:33Something will go wrong, and 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.
08:55Hi.
08:55Good, good.
08:56How are you?
08:56First job for both teams.
08:58We have a beautiful gold necklace.
09:01So what would be the recommended selling price for this?
09:03$1,399.99.
09:05Pick out a trinket to tempt buyers at home.
09:07So the second one is a multi-saffire bracelet.
09:11Determined 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?
09:3211.
09:3311.
09:34Yes.
09:34Right.
09:34Do you know how sterling silver has a 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?
09:41Yeah, over 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 on...
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.
10:02Um, so...
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.
10:16Got 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.
10:27I 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.
10:35Honestly.
10:36Me on the history, you on the info.
10:38Literally 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 has to still go for the mid-range one.
10:59It'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.
11:24Weighing up what else to sell on screen.
11:28This is really boring.
11:30Yeah.
11:30Conor, Levi, and Kieran.
11:33Adjustable shoe dryer.
11:34You just turn it on.
11:36Pop your shoe off.
11:38Pop it on.
11:38I've worked outside in construction.
11:40Yeah.
11:41My boots get wet all the time, so this could be going swan.
11:43I'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.
11:49So this would probably be something that you could do.
11:51It's definitely usable.
11:52The Core Crusher circuit board.
11:54The high price is $149.99.
11:57I've got my Core exercise here.
12:00That's it.
12:01Yep.
12:02Do you feel the burn?
12:03Yeah, I do.
12:04Is it easier on your knees?
12:07Would you feel confident pitching this on TV?
12:10I think it's extremely pitchable.
12:15Resistance.
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,
12:27so 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 tenner 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, which we sell a few of, potentially,
12:49but obviously at a very good price.
12:50Pushing for products to suit every pocket.
12:52And 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.
13:02The lowest price is $7.99,
13:03so 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!
13:13You can see how quick that comes out.
13:16The lowest price is $19.99.
13:17I 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-cancelling? Can't hear me?
13:28Yeah, it is a very expensive product.
13:30The highest price is $449.
13:32So I think the noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones...
13:34Yeah.
13:34...and the table tennis set...
13:36Yeah.
13:36...and then you've got the flosser.
13:38I'm really glad we stuck to the structure.
13:40Yeah, I think we did a good job.
13:442 p.m.
13:45Hey.
13:46Hi.
13:46Hey, how are we doing?
13:48How are you guys?
13:49Soon, teams will go live to the nation.
13:52It'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
14:01just 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,
14:08it could actually be a real reward for us, yeah.
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:12We then bring out a portable shoe dryer.
14:16OK.
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?
14:31Does it smell nice?
14:33It dries the shoes, but it's also odour-eliminating.
14:38There we go.
14:40No, I mean, honestly, never heard of it.
14:42A bit of a peculiar one.
14:44Maybe men will buy it more?
14:45I don't see.
14:45Yeah, I mean, look, I personally couldn't even think
14:49I needed something like this.
14:50Yes.
14:50I am more torn towards this, just because my experience
14:53of having wet feet.
14:55Again, in construction, I stepped in a lot of puddles,
14:58even up to my waist at times.
15:03Well, I mean, I had a few concerns about all the products
15:05that they selected.
15:06Obviously, the shoe dryer, I couldn't really understand
15:08whether it was a deodorant, 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 bricked out a product that Kieran likes...
15:18Yoga mat.
15:18Yoga mat.
15:19With handheld straps.
15:22Yeah.
15:23What do you think, Dan?
15:24I mean, a yoga mat's a yoga mat, isn't it?
15:29Across 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,
15:45noise 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.
15:56Yeah, there's like a...
15:59Oh my God, it's got it run the wrong way.
16:03And it's get it wrong now than later.
16:05Yeah, it's a little bit...
16:07Shall I try?
16:08Tricky.
16:09It's about finding it in the right place,
16:10but they do just attach magnetically.
16:13The best way to do it is actually just show it like this.
16:29Pryosh has been given the headphones to demonstrate and sell live on air.
16:33I 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 going 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.
16:46It's a little bit Terminator-y once it's on,
16:49but ultimately, anything that does add air purification,
16:52it's an add-on.
16:54It's not the product.
16:57So this is what we've got.
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.
17:14I 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 Rothna, the jewelry 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.
17:33You were...
17:33I'm putting it out there.
17:34No, no, no. Oh, sorry.
17:35No, no, I'm...
17:36I'm not saying...
17:37I'm just asking, would you rather be on higher or stick to the mat?
17:40No, I'd stick to the mat.
17:40I was like, I've got this, Dan's got the jewelry.
17:44I feel like Conor doesn't trust me.
17:47I've got the lowest item,
17:48but 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,
17:57and let's go make some sales.
17:58Let's do this!
18:03Let's do this!
18:04Smash it!
18:05Handed to the teams...
18:06Gosh, it's nerve-wracking.
18:08Scary.
18:09...two of the channel's premium sales slots.
18:11So, we look at this camera?
18:12Look at this camera always.
18:14Watching from home...
18:16Right, Joe, let's tune in.
18:18Lord Sugar and grandson Joe...
18:21Pasha, can you hear me?
18:22I can hear you.
18:23...going live first...
18:24Coming to you in ten.
18:26...Priyash and Pasha.
18:27Five seconds, guys.
18:29Five, four...
18:30Stand by.
18:30Five, three, two, and one.
18:33Both mics are live.
18:35Vision next in Vision.
18:39Good afternoon, folks.
18:41Ah.
18:42So, imagine this.
18:44You'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 anything?
19:00What am I saying?
19:02You can't hear me?
19:03Oh, wow.
19:04I've got no reason to want to buy these right now.
19:06Give him a bit of energy.
19:08Wow.
19:09How does it feel?
19:10Big energy, guys.
19:11Really good.
19:11Okay, so, this here,
19:14this 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.
19:23Honestly, 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.
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.
19:40Do something about it.
19:40Guys, we haven't sold a single one.
19:42Tell them it's the final price drop.
19:43There's a big price drop, Brian.
19:45We're going down to...
19:45You guys are getting treated.
19:46Two, four, nine, dot, nine, nine.
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.
19:54Let'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.
20:08Oh, I 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.
20:20Look, I've done this task a number of times,
20:22and usually it's so chaotic in the gallery,
20:25you 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.
20:39Just to remind you, your mics are alive.
20:41Keep going.
20:41Mics are alive, Pasha.
20:42Keep 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.
20:54Your 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.
21:03A mini jet washer.
21:04It's £29.99.
21:05It is 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...
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.
21:22All of this, you've got to...
21:23Listen, you're making a lot of claims here.
21:25Now, I've had...
21:25I'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.
21:39Obviously, your experiences may vary, Pasha.
21:41You need to say that now.
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.
22:26Thank you so much.
22:27Your mic is out.
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.
22:37In vision.
22:39What's up, Lawrence?
22:40Karishma, good to see you.
22:42Long time no see.
22:43And hello.
22:44And 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.
22:57It is 168 centimetres long.
23:00So, 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.
23:08My 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.
23:20Guys, play the actual ping pong.
23:21Play it.
23:22I don't know why you're not playing.
23:23Come on.
23:24Game on.
23:25First 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.
23:36This 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.
23:5112, 14 sold, guys.
23:52They're pushing now.
23:53Keep playing.
23:54We are up to 12 fires.
23:56We are going up and we don't have long left.
23:58We've only got a couple minutes.
23:59Right, here we go.
24:01I could do it in the boardroom.
24:02Tim one end and Karen the other end and 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.
24:12Right, let them know what they're doing, guys.
24:13Clock to zero.
24:13Okay, guys, you're moving on to your final product.
24:15The final.
24:15It's the ring.
24:17Okay, let's walk over here, Lawrence, so 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, there's
24:29only 11 of these.
24:30There's no one on the rings 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?
24:37Jaipur 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.
24:46Would 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
25:03mine this stone.
25:05Bloody boring.
25:06It'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.
25:26I don't get this.
25:26Why would you keep saying it all the time?
25:29Five, four, three, two, and one.
25:33Someone really makes that right decision.
25:36Thank you so much.
25:37Oh, my God.
25:39None sold.
25:40No.
25:42Hi, guys.
25:43That was tough.
25:44I'm just, I'm so gutted that we didn't sell any of the ring, because I feel like that is
25:49such a gorgeous item, so it just shocks me.
25:52Prishma said that jewellery is her thing.
25:54She knows what she's doing.
25:55So I had so much faith to at least 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.
26:08Six p.m.
26:09All it needs to be is better than the other team.
26:11That's not going to be hard, is 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.
26:21Three, two, and one.
26:22Your mic 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
26:35machine.
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.
26:44Colin, we've got no corners, mate.
26:45I need energy.
26:46I'm going to call in my colleague, Dan.
26:48Dan.
26:50Are you?
26:51This is Dan.
26:52Hi, everyone.
26:53Oh, 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.
27:01Work out 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 little 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.
27:41There is a timer on there.
27:42Big...
27:42Yeah, Dan, show us your little pretty 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.
28:08I'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.
28:16You 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.
28:25OK, well, 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,
28:32and 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.
28:52Yeah.
28:52Oh.
28:53You'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,
29:00and there's two little claps here.
29:01There you are.
29:02Done.
29:03Price drop, 119.
29:04Oh, what's that?
29:05I hear we've got an incredible price drop coming up.
29:08119.
29:09Sold one.
29:10There, and we've just sold one in the line,
29:11so who have we sold it to?
29:13Jamie.
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 jiffed him up.
29:23He's warmed up a little bit.
29:24Yeah.
29:25Two-minute countdown.
29:25Okay, we've got two minutes left,
29:27so what I'm going to do,
29:28I'm going to pop it on your wrist once more, Raphna.
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.
29:42Push, push, push.
29:42We have just five more left in stock.
29:45I can see that we've sold quite a few.

29:54Congratulations on your new purchase.
29:57We 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.
30:10Sales Supremo, Kieran.
30:13And your mic is live.
30:14Vision Next in Vision.
30:17Your mic is out.
30:19Hello and welcome.
30:20My name is Kieran.
30:21Today, I've got these luxury yoga mats.
30:24Now, a mat.
30:25You can only say so much about a mat.
30:27What can you say about a mat?
30:29They come with a little strap like this.
30:34For a real estate salesman,
30:36it'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?
30:47Kieran, not 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.
31:03Kieran, talk about how comfortable it feels on you.
31:05Goodness me.
31:07Is there some yoga, some gymnastics, some ab?
31:10I mean, what's nice is the grip on it,
31:13if you're doing a little workout, you know.
31:17He's in trouble here, aren't he?
31:18He really is.
31:21Keep talking.
31:24If you're one of them people that want to wake up
31:26and 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
31:34how to do some yoga.
31:35How are we doing, everybody?
31:37My name's Levi.
31:38Oh, here he is.
31:39One minute.
31:40Final price.
31:41Final price?
31:42Levi.
31:43Well, I tell you what,
31:43if the final price is coming,
31:44I'm going to have to knock out some pretzels.
31:46If he does the pretzels.
31:47Are we ready?
31:47I want everyone on the lines now.
31:49One, two, three, four.
31:52Final price.
31:53Push them.
31:54Ten seconds.
31:54Ten seconds.
31:55Come on.
31:56Keep talking.
31:58Three, 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, your mic is live.
32:18Which camera are we looking at?
32:20And your mic is live.
32:22All right, how we doing, everybody?
32:24And welcome, I'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.
32:33I know, when, after me and my missus
32:34been on the rise round town,
32:36bit 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.
32:48Put some water in.
32:49How to buy.
32:50You pick up the phone and call the number.
32:52There's two people, mate.
32:53That's it.
32:53He's got it.
32:54He's got it.
32:54We just need to trust him.
32:56Odor is eliminated.
32:57Final two minutes, starting now.
32:59Okay, we've sold one.
33:00I'm in construction,
33:02and my feet were absolutely stinking.
33:05And do you know what else happened?
33:06I got athlete's foot from it.
33:08I know, it's minging.
33:09You've got a ratchet jaws about athlete's foot.
33:12Well, the thing is,
33:13you'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,
33:18but you'll use it every single day.
33:19Just relax.
33:20My girlfriend really needs these sort of,
33:22they stink.
33:24Oh, cheers, buddy.
33:26I'll put them on here for you.
33:27This is torture.
33:28This is...
33:29Think about all the shoes that you can have dried.
33:32No vintage.
33:32Any kind of, you know,
33:34living in the UK, bad weather,
33:35happens all the time.
33:36It's only 25 seconds.
33:38You've got our heels.
33:39You've got your gym trainers.
33:41Just got some more trainers.
33:43Right, I'm getting fed up now.
33:4520 seconds.
33:45How long more is this going on for?
33:47You've got 20 seconds left.
33:49Eight, seven, six,
33:49very chaotic.
33:50We're being very chaotic right now.
33:52Five, four, three, two...
33:54We won, go on.
33:55Do it, do it, do it.
33:56Rolling the break.
33:57Your work is out.
33:58Thank you very much.
34:00Is that it?
34:01Thank God for that.
34:02Hey!
34:04Come on.
34:04That is good.
34:05Good, lads.
34:06High-fiving.
34:06That was hard.
34:08Look, did we sell as much as we wanted to?
34:10No.
34:11I am extremely disappointed.
34:13That was chaotic.
34:14The failure of the task,
34:15if we do lose tomorrow in the boardroom,
34:17it's got to come down to the PM.
34:18People with no sales experience
34:21have gone on and sold.
34:23Conor 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
34:32in the boardroom.
34:42I'm a little bit nervous today
34:44because obviously it didn't sell
34:45any of my deal-of-the-day pieces,
34:47so a little bit upset
34:48and scared to what's going to happen
34:50in the boardroom today.
34:52I brought cornerback to the boardroom last week.
34:55He's definitely going to bring me back
34:56if 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
35:01with nothing to defend myself with.
35:03It is a live TV selling challenge.
35:05I'm not sure if I sold anything,
35:06so that leaves me in a pretty vulnerable position.
35:09You can go through to the boardroom now.
35:28So, TV shopping.
35:33Team Alpha,
35:35I believe that, Karishma,
35:38you wanted to be the project manager.
35:41Is that right?
35:42Yes, Lord Sugar.
35:42But then again, Pasha,
35:44you haven't been a project manager, have you?
35:46You kind of, like, ducked it for the past.
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
35:54and I do have a social media presence.
35:57So, you know,
35:58I just felt like my skills and abilities
36:01would be best for this sort of task.
36:03So, Pasha's passion versus Karishma's charisma.
36:08Yeah, I've heard that.
36:09And I think we worked really well together.
36:11OK, so product selection.
36:13The structure that I went in with
36:15is I want a high-cost item and a low-cost item.
36:18If we can sell just a few of the high-cost items,
36:21potentially that could be the reason that we win the task.
36:23So, what you ended up with
36:25was the headphones, the water flosser,
36:29and table tennis.
36:30Yeah.
36:31So, where was your luck, Karishma,
36:33while 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
36:54or something like that.
36:55Is that right?
36:56Yeah.
36:56Yeah.
36:59There still is 11 in stock also at the moment.
37:02Yeah.
37:02Because I'm afraid you didn't succeed.
37:04And one of the reasons I think you didn't succeed
37:06was because, in my opinion,
37:09you missed out the point of who you were selling to.
37:12It should be love.
37:14It should be about a gift for somebody.
37:17Instead, you start giving them a geographic description
37:22of 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,
37:32Karishma knew a lot about the rings
37:33and 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
37:42was you and you with the headphones, right?
37:46Correct.
37:47Okay.
37:47And in the gallery was them two?
37:49Correct.
37:49Yeah.
37:50Yeah.
37:50And silence, I heard.
37:52You sat there doing nothing for a while.
37:56Karishma, you were close to Mike.
37:58Do you agree with that?
38:00So we were instructed...
38:02Was you getting much feedback initially?
38:05Initially, to be honest,
38:06my 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, okay, well...
38:12I mean, my noise-cancelling headphones,
38:14it sounded like you must have had
38:15noise-cancelling microphones in there.
38:19Anyway, let me come on to the flosser.
38:22Yeah.
38:22I was very confident selling it
38:24just because I have it at home
38:25and I did want to have food there as well,
38:28which, unfortunately, was...
38:29I saw that.
38:29You had some spinach.
38:31You stick some in your mouth, right?
38:34And then you get the machine,
38:36blow on it,
38:36and then you take it out of your mouth
38:38with your fingers again.
38:39Yeah, it was a bit...
38:40Very, very, very good.
38:42Yeah.
38:42The water power coming out 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
38:53for me and Tim to play.
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
39:06what I will call the core machine,
39:09yoga mat.
39:10Correct.
39:11Boring.
39:12And the shoe dryer,
39:14unusual item, right?
39:17So, you start off, Connor,
39:20with the core circus.
39:22You look like you're having an argument
39:23with an ironing board, actually.
39:25Yeah, I definitely...
39:27Look, I came in with high energy
39:29and passion,
39:29and I was hoping to shift that
39:30by using my energy.
39:32Then you call upon Dan.
39:34He comes in,
39:35done a few bits and pieces,
39:37and then went off.
39:40We were doing a couple to work out
39:41at one stage.
39:42I was doing Pilates,
39:43and Dan was doing some core exercises.
39:44Yeah.
39:44I do think it was sellable.
39:47I just probably didn't do myself justice.
39:49Hmm.
39:50Moving on from there, then.
39:52So, you had the bracelet.
39:55You looked like you were
39:55putting on handcuffs
39:57at one stage.
39:59A lot, you lost the key.
40:01You were fumbling around.
40:03Dan did very well,
40:04in terms of his engaging
40:05with the customers
40:06and saying their names,
40:07actually saying which were the key.
40:09Yeah, when you...
40:09That was quite clever,
40:10that when he said,
40:11thank you for the order
40:12and all that.
40:13Oh, they got some orders, did they?
40:14Oh, yeah.
40:15They got some orders for it.
40:17I was extremely proud of Dan
40:18for putting himself
40:19out of his comfort zone,
40:20almost,
40:20and really applying himself.
40:21He exceeded probably
40:23all of our expectations.
40:24Oh, there you go.
40:25Compliments there, Dan.
40:26That's very kind.
40:27Compliments.
40:28All right.
40:30Moving on.
40:30We've got Kieran
40:32on the...
40:33Yoga mat.
40:34Yoga mat.
40:34And that, I mean,
40:36I've got to tell you,
40:36that was painful,
40:38my friend.
40:39Painful.
40:40Did you say,
40:41I'll do that one?
40:42I said I would do that one.
40:45But I also offered
40:46to take a high-end item as well.
40:49It looked like a thick
40:49doormat to me.
40:51It was...
40:51Yeah.
40:52As yoga mats go,
40:53it wasn't bad.
40:53It's a bad starter.
40:54Yeah.
40:55Can I just add,
40:55Lord Sugar,
40:56I expected that the boys
40:57would probably pick an item
40:58that they were personally
40:59really confident selling.
41:00Kieran's great at selling,
41:01so I was pretty shocked
41:02that he was just
41:03going to be selling the mats,
41:04but then he was confident
41:05he could sell them
41:06in large quantity.
41:07Okay.
41:08Well, moving on,
41:09we went to the most unusual item,
41:12the shoe dryer,
41:15which Levi took the role.
41:17That's right,
41:18Lord Sugar, yeah,
41:18that's correct.
41:19I mean,
41:19it's an unusual item.
41:21In fact,
41:21I bought one
41:22from my wife for Christmas,
41:23so she's going to be delighted
41:25with it, I'm sure,
41:27when she opens it up.
41:29So...
41:29I think she's going to
41:30throw that straight back at you.
41:32Yeah.
41:33I mean,
41:33you're putting shoes
41:34on the wrong way round,
41:35pouring water in trainers.
41:38To be fair,
41:39Lord Sugar.
41:40And then,
41:41butch Cassidy,
41:42it comes running in
41:43at the end
41:44to help you out,
41:46you know?
41:46It was quite hard
41:47to get me bearings,
41:48to be fair,
41:49Lord Sugar.
41:49It were,
41:50in gallery,
41:51it sounded like
41:51somebody ate the microphone
41:53and people were just shouting
41:55and then,
41:57yeah,
41:57it was hard to concentrate,
41:59try and get a point
41:59across while it's getting
42:00a load in the ear.
42:02Hmm.
42:03Right.
42:04Okay.
42:05Well,
42:07it's that time now.
42:08Let's have a look
42:09and see
42:10how we did,
42:11shall we?
42:13So,
42:14um,
42:16the thing you should know
42:17about TV selling
42:18is that
42:19you may have expectations
42:21of what you think
42:23you sold,
42:24but as you know,
42:24people change their minds,
42:26right?
42:27So,
42:27I've now got
42:29the real confirmed figures
42:31from the shopping channel.
42:33So,
42:33Tim,
42:34can you tell me
42:35the final results
42:36of your team?
42:37Mm-hmm.
42:38Well,
42:38you mentioned
42:38a number of sales
42:39that have been made,
42:40but unfortunately,
42:41not all of those sales
42:42went through,
42:43including
42:43the one high-priced item
42:45of the Core Crusher
42:47that was almost sold,
42:48but somebody pulled out.
42:49But they still managed
42:51to sell 18 products,
42:53giving them
42:53a total sales
42:54on the day
42:55of £773.82.
42:58Well done, everyone.
43:00Right.
43:00Okay.
43:01Good.
43:01Karen,
43:02same question.
43:03How did your team get on?
43:04Well,
43:05unfortunately,
43:06not all of their sales
43:07went through either,
43:09including one
43:10of the high-priced headphones.
43:13And their highest-priced item,
43:15Alan,
43:16the ring,
43:16you know,
43:17they didn't sell
43:17any of those at all.
43:20But they did still manage
43:22to sell 40 items
43:23across the hour,
43:27totaling £893.60.
43:30Right.
43:32Well done,
43:33Team Alpha.
43:34your first time
43:35as a project manager
43:37and you pulled it through.
43:39Yeah.
43:40Okay,
43:40make your way back
43:41to the house.
43:41I'll see you
43:42on the next task,
43:43okay?
43:45Good luck, guys.
43:50Stop.
43:51Oh, yes.
43:52Team Alpha was my worst task as well.
43:54I'm so proud of you guys.
43:56Well...
43:58Okay, well,
44:00so go away,
44:01have a chat amongst yourselves,
44:03come back
44:04and we'll decide
44:05who's leaving.
44:07Okay, off you go.
44:08All right.
44:09Oh, thank you.
44:12Big item.
44:13Made the difference,
44:14didn't it?
44:14Well, no,
44:15I mean,
44:15they sold 40 items
44:17and they sold 18.
44:18Hmm.
44:20Oh, my God.
44:22You smashed it,
44:23Tasha.
44:24I cannot tell you
44:25how relieved I am.
44:28Obviously,
44:28I've had my two wins
44:29as sub-team,
44:30but that's not enough.
44:31I wanted to step forward
44:32and deliver.
44:32One more task
44:33and then we're in the final file.
44:35We just need to get there now.
44:40One of the things
44:41that I did say in strategy
44:42is like,
44:42bringing high energy
44:43was great,
44:44but I think ultimately
44:45what you two failed to do
44:46was to harness it
44:47in the correct way.
44:48We sold, mate.
44:49Yeah,
44:49and I accept I didn't.
44:50You guys only sold two units each.
44:52I had to roll up
44:52bit of phone, mate.
44:53Connor sold nothing,
44:55Kieran didn't sell a lot
44:56and he's supposed
44:56to be an amazing salesperson
44:57and quite frankly,
44:58I don't really know
44:58what Levi's good at
44:59other than being a great guy.
45:00The one person
45:01I was disappointed in,
45:02Kieran,
45:02is you.
45:02I have to say,
45:03I've worked with you
45:04and I thought you were great,
45:04but when you were presenting,
45:06I honestly thought
45:07you'd do a bit better.
45:08We failed the task
45:09for lack of instruction
45:09and no sales.
45:11Kieran loves to deflect
45:12and he loves to say
45:13he can't do something
45:13at the last moment.
45:14He said he'd take
45:14a high ticket item
45:15just as we were heading
45:16out the door.
45:17As he sounded enthusiastic
45:18about the yoga mat,
45:19I gave it to him.
45:19Then he said,
45:20maybe not,
45:20I can't do yoga.
45:21The reality is
45:22that we didn't make enough sales.
45:23It's down to selling.
45:24I mean, myself and Rothner
45:25sold the most
45:26and I know
45:26it wasn't loads,
45:27but we sold
45:27high ticketed items
45:29and sold multiple of them.
45:30I would have thought
45:30with lower ticketed items
45:32we could have sold
45:32a few more.
45:33The failure in this task
45:34lies with project manager
45:35Connor and Kieran.
45:36The polar opposites
45:37don't work well together
45:38and it's showed in this task.
45:52Yes, would you send
45:53the candidates in, please?
46:08Well, you lot lost
46:10by £120,
46:12which is not a lot of money.
46:16Now, Alpha sold 40 products
46:18and you sold 18 only.
46:22So, Connor,
46:24the core machine
46:25that you demonstrated,
46:27the last time
46:28the professional presenter
46:29did it,
46:30they sold 55.
46:32Yeah, so my plan
46:34with the core circuit yoga
46:35was to target audience,
46:37the older or maybe new to fitness
46:39and then the more experienced
46:40user of fitness like myself.
46:42I demonstrated it
46:43as someone who's maybe
46:43avid in fitness
46:44and wants to use it
46:45to enhance their workouts
46:46maybe after a cardio session.
46:47I think it implied
46:47you had to be very fit
46:48to use it.
46:49Yeah.
46:51Eddie, I'm not surprised
46:52you were sweating
46:52because you hadn't sold any.
46:54Yeah, definitely.
46:55I did give it my all,
46:56it did give my energy
46:57and I hold my hands up.
46:58I'm disappointed
46:58as PM
46:59that I didn't sell one item.
47:01I mean, Dan walking in,
47:02it looked like you called in
47:03a bloke from IT, you know.
47:06Now then,
47:09Rothner and Dan,
47:11the bracelets,
47:13you only sold three.
47:15They usually sell 21
47:16in that slot.
47:18I am disappointed
47:19that we only ended up
47:20selling three of them.
47:21I did really believe
47:22in the product
47:22and I hoped it'd come across.
47:24If you'd have got the ring
47:26and sold three of them,
47:27like you sold three
47:28of the bracelets,
47:29you would have won.
47:29So we didn't go with that.
47:30So why didn't you get the ring?
47:31We thought maybe
47:32Connor might find
47:33the ring a bit too expensive.
47:34He was quite clear
47:35about asking for a mid-range item.
47:37But when I asked for numbers
47:39in the brainstorm,
47:40he didn't give any numbers.
47:41My mid-range could be
47:42very different to your mid-range.
47:44Your role was to pick
47:45deal of the day.
47:46What she's trying to say
47:47is that it was left
47:48to our own devices
47:49to pick what we thought
47:50was the most sensible item
47:51that we could sell on TV.
47:53But that's why you replaced
47:54the match team.
47:55And you picked the cheapest.
47:56Yeah.
47:58Now, moving on,
47:59the yoga mat.
48:00This company has sold
48:03390 in the last session.
48:05You sold six.
48:07And you say
48:08you are a super salesman.
48:11I'm a salesman.
48:12Yeah, absolutely.
48:14Well, you didn't sell many,
48:15did you?
48:16So I did offer
48:16to swap the high-end item.
48:19I was told no.
48:19Were you not extremely
48:20enthusiastic about the yoga mat?
48:22I said I could take the...
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
48:27to perform on the mat
48:29right at the end.
48:29You could have
48:30sent him in either.
48:31It were a bit painful to watch,
48:33so I looked at galleries.
48:34You were painful to watch,
48:35my friend.
48:36You were really painful
48:37to watch all the way around,
48:38including the shoe dryer thing.
48:41I mean,
48:41what a bloody product
48:42that is.
48:43And do you know what?
48:44They usually sell
48:45300 in a session.
48:47300!
48:48I've never heard of it.
48:48And you sold three.
48:50I did try to explain
48:51about the shoe drying properties,
48:53but when I had somebody
48:54like team shouting
48:55in my ears,
48:56I had Kieran walking
48:57towards me.
48:58They were very distracted
48:58for me.
48:59Well,
49:00one of the comments
49:01from a viewer
49:02was that this is a joke.
49:03I'm flabbergasted.
49:04I can't watch it anymore.
49:06They tuned out.
49:07Right?
49:08And I have to say,
49:09I was flabbergasted also.
49:10I think it was diabolical.
49:12I do believe that,
49:14on reflection,
49:16it is,
49:20it's actually time.
49:21I've won most
49:22at task,
49:22Lord Sugar.
49:23No,
49:23you didn't win them.
49:24You didn't win them.
49:25You didn't.
49:26You was on winning teams.
49:27So,
49:28you know what,
49:30Levi,
49:31it is with regret.
49:34You're fired.
49:35OK.
49:35Thank you for the opportunity,
49:36Baroness Brady,
49:37Lord Sugar.
49:38Tim,
49:38thank you.
49:39If you ever need an urn,
49:40get in touch with me.
49:42Yeah.
49:43Take care.
49:44Well,
49:44best of luck.
49:45Thanks.
49:52Um,
49:53Connor,
49:54which two people
49:55are you bringing back
49:56into this boardroom?
49:58based on what I've heard,
49:59I'm going to bring back Kieran,
50:01and I'm going to bring back Dan.
50:03Right.
50:04OK.
50:05Rothner,
50:06you can go back to the house.
50:07Thank you, Lord Sugar.
50:10Good luck.
50:15OK,
50:16you three gentlemen step outside,
50:19and, um,
50:20when you come back in,
50:22we'll see who is going to leave.
50:24OK?
50:25Thank you very much.
50:33I can see why you made a decision
50:35to exit Levi from the process.
50:37Yeah, I mean,
50:38on this particular task,
50:39it was the worst TV selling
50:41I've ever seen in this whole process.
50:44It was worse.
50:45Painful.
50:45Anyway,
50:47Kieran, I mean,
50:47he's a chirpy chappy.
50:49He chirped a lot,
50:49but he didn't make the sales.
50:51The important thing on this task
50:53was to convert the products
50:54to something that the audience wanted,
50:56and unfortunately,
50:57he made such a hash of that mat,
50:59nobody bought anywhere near the numbers
51:02that you said you got
51:03from the channel themselves.
51:04Then the man.
51:06Obviously,
51:07they sold three bracelets.
51:08Had they instead of chosen the ring
51:10and sold three rings,
51:11they would have won.
51:12I mean,
51:13he was with Rothner when they picked it.
51:15Maybe they didn't engage the buyers
51:16as well as they could have.
51:18Um,
51:19Connor.
51:19Well,
51:20Connor's a great talker.
51:21He emphasised his ability
51:23in front of the camera,
51:24but he wasn't that good behind the camera.
51:26Unfortunately,
51:27a lot of this does rest on his shoulders.
51:29Hmm.
51:32Could you send the three of them in, please?
51:43So on this task,
51:45Connor,
51:46you were the project manager.
51:49You've been a project manager twice,
51:51right?
51:52And regretfully,
51:53you lost twice.
51:54Hmm.
51:55Why have you brought these two back in then?
51:57Um,
51:58when I made my selection,
51:59I reviewed the entire process
52:01that we've made it here.
52:02Um,
52:02when it comes to Kieran,
52:04in fairness to Kieran,
52:04Kieran 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.
52:18Yeah.
52:18And that's,
52:18that's not my decision to make,
52:19but that's just my perspective.
52:21When 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,
52:28I mean,
52:28this was a selling task.
52:30Myself,
52:31I 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,
52:38but this has been a big learning curve for myself.
52:40I'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,
52:48Lord Sugar.
52:49Hmm.
52:50Kieran,
52:50super salesman,
52:51sold six,
52:52been on the losing side five times.
52:57Yes,
52:58Lord 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,
53:05it'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,
53:12here we have a dilemma,
53:14really.
53:15I have to make a decision.
53:17Lord Sugar,
53:17if I may.
53:18Yes.
53:19I've been project manager twice
53:21on the same task.
53:23And you won once,
53:24by default.
53:25Arguably a one,
53:26a win,
53:26yeah.
53:27Yeah.
53:28If I stay in this process,
53:30I would like to be the project manager
53:32on task 10
53:32to prove to you
53:33what I can do.
53:34If I lose,
53:35we shake hands,
53:35I 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,
53:47over the last eight tasks,
53:48I don't need another task
53:49to prove myself.
53:50I have given myself one.
53:52You lost,
53:52you know you've lost five,
53:53been in the losing team five times.
53:55Correct.
53:56And every time within those tasks,
53:57the project manager
53:58has usually always had
53:59a very specific role
54:00that they've wanted me to excel in.
54:01And at numerous times
54:02within this process,
54:03I have excelled.
54:04I don't need a tenth task
54:05to beg you
54:06to 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
54:15in many different ways.
54:18I do believe that ultimately
54:19you've got to decide
54:20who you want to go into business with.
54:21I know that I've only ever worked for myself.
54:23I'm an entrepreneur
54:23through and through.
54:24That's all I know.
54:25And the industry that I'm in,
54:26I know it so well.
54:27So it's whether you think
54:29there's great potential
54:29with my business that I've got
54:30and if it's something
54:31you want to join me
54:32on the journey with.
54:35I have observed you
54:36over the past nine weeks.
54:42Dan,
54:45you're going to remain
54:46in this process, okay?
54:48Thank you, Lord Sugar.
54:51This leaves me you too.
54:57And...
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
55:15a 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
55:24of 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.
55:31Best of luck, Connor.
55:39Right, gentlemen.
55:41Difficult decision there.
55:44You two go back to the house.
55:45I'll see you on the next task.
55:48You are going to be
55:49the project manager.
55:50You ask for it.
55:51You got it.
55:52If I lose, I won't.
55:53Okay?
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.
56:00That's right.
56:01Thanks.
56:08I'll see you on the next task.
56:16I'll see you on the next task.
56:27I am gutted about it.
56:28I 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.
56:41Who'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.
56:59Oh, 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.
57:10Did you?
57:10The most Kieran thing I've ever had.
57:11Did you actually?
57:12Yeah, if I lose, I'll walk.
57:14Bawsy.
57:15Oh, my gosh.
57:17Now, seven candidates remain.
57:20The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner continues.
57:27Next time...
57:28You're going to come up with a new pet product.
57:31Pets?
57:32What does a cat like?
57:34Oh, they like cheese.
57:35Pressure?
57:36It's really terrible.
57:38I don't want to hear none of that anymore.
57:39It'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.
57:46You'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 Leeds.
58:00Listen on sounds.
58:01Meanwhile, rapper Paul Salu returns to the stage after prison.
