00:07Previously...
00:08For this task, you're going to create a new virtual pop star.
00:12Amber Rose's team...
00:14The tables are tenet, tenet, tenet...
00:17...turned it up to 11.
00:19Hey! We have a...
00:20But their robotic rap...
00:23I like to eat. That's sugar.
00:26...fell flat.
00:27Fred does sound like he's inhaled helium.
00:30For Anissa's team...
00:31The more I look at it, the more I like it.
00:34..a battle in the band.
00:36It's very, very random.
00:37Well, Nate, why are you saying that now? You haven't said a word.
00:40But their catchy chorus...
00:41You can have it all. You can have it all.
00:45..proved a smash hit.
00:48215,000.
00:51Nadia felt the pressure.
00:52You were like a bull in a china shop,
00:54and I'm not sure whether I could work with people like you.
00:58But it was Ivan...
00:59I don't think in the last two tasks we've actually seen you do much.
01:03Who flopped?
01:05You're fired.
01:07Now, 16 candidates remain to fight for the chance to become...
01:12..Lord Sugar's business partner.
01:218 p.m.
01:23So those things get really yeeted in there, yeah?
01:24I think in the boardroom, Lord Sugar was trying to find out where the problem lied.
01:28And I was just trying to get my point across.
01:31How was the treat? I'm intrigued.
01:32Yeah, it was cool.
01:33It's definitely not something I think any of us have done before or even heard of.
01:37Oh, Malika had some awful singing to be doing, so I didn't need you, sir.
01:47We've got so many eggs in this joint. It's good.
01:49Yeah, excuse me.
01:50Oh, sorry.
01:51Who's at the door?
01:53All right, come, come, come, come, come.
01:54Someone's at the door.
01:55Who's at the door?
01:55I don't know.
01:58Hello.
01:59Oh, hello.
02:00Good evening.
02:00Hi, Lord Sugar.
02:01Good evening.
02:02Hi.
02:03Lord Sugar's here.
02:04Everyone, come down.
02:06No.
02:07Nice to see you again.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Lord Sugar's here.
02:10Come here.
02:11What?
02:11Come in.
02:16Good evening, everyone.
02:17The reason I've come here this evening is because tomorrow's going to be a very, very busy day for you.
02:24For your next task, I'm sending you off to the historic market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding
02:32countryside around Warwickshire.
02:35Now, famously, Stratford is the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
02:41Well, you're going to have to be very good with words on this task, too, because it's all about the
02:46art of negotiation.
02:47I want you to source nine items and buy them at the best possible price.
02:53The team that spends the least amount of money for the correct items will win.
02:58Right, I'm going to swap the teams around a bit.
03:01I'm going to swap Nadia and Liam with Malika and Dean.
03:06Okay, anything clear?
03:07Yes.
03:09Good luck.
03:10I'll see you in the boardroom in a few days' time.
03:12Yeah, this is going to be a good one.
03:186.30 a.m.
03:20Good morning.
03:21Good morning.
03:21Good morning.
03:22Today, teams must track down nine items.
03:26Welcome, Liam.
03:27Welcome, Nadia.
03:28Thanks for having us.
03:29And secure them at knock-down prices.
03:32Does anyone have strong negotiation skills that wants to go for PM?
03:35To be fair, this is right down my street.
03:37I buy and sell daily.
03:39It's what I do.
03:40I'm a haggler.
03:40I'm the best dress.
03:42Do you think Dean should be PM for this one?
03:46No, Dean, you're up.
03:48Yeah, I'm quite confident in putting myself up for PM.
03:51I feel like this is my task.
03:52I'm always haggling, so hopefully we get some bargains today.
03:56Across the hall.
03:57So I know there were a few concerns last task that I didn't put myself forward enough.
04:02Making his case...
04:03Without being too forward or too forceful, I'm going to be involved in this task.
04:06So be it project manager or sub-PM.
04:09Carlo.
04:10So as you guys know, I'm a hair transplant consultant.
04:12It doesn't matter if you're working business to business, business to customer.
04:15Essentially, it comes down to the same thing.
04:16How do we build rapport?
04:17How do we establish trust?
04:18I'd like to put myself forward as project manager as well.
04:21I think there is a strategy task that fits into my locker very, very well.
04:25I think this is about time management.
04:26Just to add to that, obviously I mentioned about the consultancy.
04:29I've also built many affiliate partnerships, which has involved direct buying.
04:33The buying element is one part of the puzzle here.
04:36Right, why don't we put it to a vote, guys?
04:38I'm Bob for Max.
04:40Brilliant.
04:41Happy to steer the ship in the right direction.
04:43That's brilliant.
04:45I put my name out there to be project manager and it just hasn't been heard.
04:49So I think, yeah, I am disappointed.
04:51Both teams have maps, local directories and a list of nine items.
04:57Including a pocket watch.
04:58Pre-1900.
05:00Ooh, antique.
05:01It's an antique shop.
05:02So, yeah, that's going to be expensive.
05:03A fleece, specification sheared today.
05:07Has anyone sheared a sheep before out of interest?
05:09I have.
05:10Oh, let's go.
05:11Okay, fine, right.
05:13And rhubarb.
05:14Five kilograms picked today.
05:16I don't know what a rhubarb is.
05:18No.
05:18Oh, you've never had rhubarb crumble?
05:21No.
05:21Man, what is it?
05:22It's delicious.
05:23Imagine, like, a really big pink celery.
05:27A whole fleece.
05:28A whole fleece is the next one.
05:30A whole fleece.
05:31Mm-hmm.
05:32Okay.
05:33I feel like fleece, you automatically think of a jumper.
05:35But I feel like that might be a bit.
05:37The only issue is if it's sheared today, what jumper is sheared today?
05:40That's what I'm saying.
05:41I don't...
05:41Because if it's sheared, then it's the...
05:43Yeah.
05:43It's the sheep.
05:44It's, yeah.
05:45Would you call it a fleece if it was just sheared off it directly?
05:49It doesn't necessarily have to be made into the clothing?
05:51I think so.
05:52The next item is...
05:53Ophelia.
05:54Oh.
05:55Ophelia.
05:55I'm glad you said it, because I didn't know how to say that.
05:58Has anyone heard of it?
05:59It's a Shakespearean character, but there must be a drink kind of named after Ophelia.
06:03Or could it be, like, a fragrance?
06:05Possibly.
06:06Next up, concave shoes.
06:09It's a pair in steel.
06:11A lightweight horseshoe.
06:13Could be some sort of safety boots.
06:15For the caves.
06:17It's like those shoes that the knights used to wear, yeah?
06:20Look for the jails, isn't it?
06:22Yeah, yeah, jails.
06:23I think that makes sense, yeah.
06:28The next item, six bottles of Ophelia.
06:32Possibly a wine, possibly, like, a local ale, perhaps.
06:36Things of wine.
06:37Okay, brilliant.
06:38Coal hot.
06:39Any ideas on what that is?
06:40It feels almost like it would be, like, a bucket or something to do with coal.
06:45Yeah.
06:45So you start storing it or pick it up with.
06:48Then we've got boat hook.
06:49Five foot.
06:50So some sort of harbour or some sort of...
06:52Yeah, so I used to work on a boat.
06:54This is also referred to as a gif or a gaff sometimes.
06:58Gif gaff.
06:58Gif gaff, yeah.
07:00It's used to, like, hooking the ropes.
07:02Yeah, I know what that is.
07:03Three avalanches, you need to get a dozen of them.
07:05Yep.
07:05These are all finger in the airs for now.
07:07We just need to keep asking questions.
07:11Peacock quill.
07:13Spec is N-I-B.
07:15Okay.
07:16I'm sure that stands for numbering bucks.
07:17Yeah, so that's a pen with a nib at the end.
07:21I'm a nib.
07:21So I'm quite familiar with what the nib is.
07:25List finally locked down.
07:27In terms of what you want us to go in as a starting point in terms of the negotiation...
07:31Mia pushes for a plan.
07:34Yeah.
07:34As a rough figure, where do you want us to start looking at from a ballpark perspective?
07:37Yeah, right.
07:38I've not got a clue, to be honest.
07:41How I normally negotiate is when they give me the price, I then ask again, what's your
07:45best price?
07:45To get them to come down, then ask nicely, come on, come down a little bit more, get
07:50them to come down, then you negotiate from there, because then you're already at a discount.
07:55For Dean, it might be slightly more clear in his head what the strategy is.
07:58It is a bit lacking in some areas, subject to say things might change as we go along.
08:02In terms of the process, do you think it's better to save time or save money?
08:05What's kind of your priority going into this?
08:08Both.
08:10Serving up his tactics.
08:12Let's be totally clear on strategy here.
08:14Former tennis player, Max.
08:16I'd like us to be opening in and around 50%, but don't want to be insulting at this point.
08:21This is a time management task, so we need to make sure that we are grouping products
08:25together so that we're being as efficient as we possibly can.
08:28The final landing point is Warwick, right?
08:30So we need to devise our route based on that.
08:33Ultimately, this is a strategy task.
08:35It's about time management, being efficient and ultimately being decisive.
08:38So I'm feeling confident, so let's see what happens.
08:42Is everybody comfortable with that as a strategy?
08:44Yeah.
08:44Cool.
08:46Next, for Aircon boss Dean.
08:48Mia, I'd love for you to be the sub-team leader.
08:51Decide on a deputy.
08:52I've heard you've been smashing it.
08:54Done really well with the sales.
08:55Well, I mean, in the previous house that I've worked on with you, I mean, I've kind of, like,
08:59generated the most sales now.
09:01Most sales?
09:02I mean, look, I mean, I'm happy to do a vote from all of you to see, like, what you
09:06guys
09:06think.
09:07Right.
09:07Hands up if you think Malika should do it.
09:09Sub-team leader.
09:11Hands up for Mia.
09:14I'd like to say Malika's genuinely only because I haven't worked with you before.
09:17And I've worked with Mia, so that's the reason why.
09:19OK, so should we do another vote again?
09:22I think.
09:22What for?
09:23I don't think anyone put the hands up for you, babe.
09:25I haven't mislected a sub-team leader, but it is what it is.
09:30So, yeah, I'm happy with that.
09:33On the sub-team will be Mia, Malika, Johnny and Amber Rose.
09:37I want you guys to get the Sweet Avalanche, the Whole Fleece, the Ophelia and the Rhubarb.
09:42Liam, I'd quite like it if you were sub-team leader, like you with Anissa, Nadia and Janna.
09:47You guys are looking for the Boathook, the Sweet Avalanche, the Whole Fleece and the Rhubarb.
09:51Carlo wanted to be sub-team.
09:53I'd like, Carlo, I'd like you to be on my team and just like to supervise that.
09:588.30am.
10:00Teams have nine hours to find their items.
10:04Where's the farm one?
10:05The Hatton Country World.
10:06Yeah, she.
10:06Hatton Country World and we're calling about the police.
10:10Right, guys, I think we should go here to Stratford-upon-Avon first.
10:13This is where the most shops are, the most people.
10:15And buy them for the best possible price.
10:18Hi, come on in.
10:19I am currently looking for a pocket watch.
10:22I've got to buy this, I think.
10:25Is the one you have pre-1900?
10:27Yeah.
10:29So that's concave shoes, is a style, the horseshoe.
10:33Oh, nice one.
10:34Thanks for your time, Ben.
10:35See you in a bit.
10:35Cheers, bye.
10:36Bye.
10:37I'm so happy with the strategy of hitting Banbury first, where they're located.
10:40We go there, we negotiate the concave shoes.
10:43Does someone, Carlo, do you want to note down the ones that I mentioned?
10:45So, note down the birdie blacksmiths.
10:49You all right, Carlo?
10:51Sorry?
10:51You all right? You listening?
10:52Yeah, of course.
10:52Yeah, of course.
10:52Yeah, yeah.
10:56Stratford-upon-Avon, historic market town and birthplace of the bard.
11:02So, Paul, what we're after is a pocket watch.
11:05Already clocking his first item.
11:07You know that this is a pocket watch because...
11:10You would literally put it in your pocket.
11:12Cool.
11:13Project manager, Dean.
11:15So, it's 18 karat gold.
11:17That sounds expensive.
11:18We've got a price tag on it of £1,100.
11:21Wow.
11:23Right, that's well above anything that we're thinking.
11:27It's valuing gold weight alone is £800.
11:31Right.
11:32That's scrap gold, Poz.
11:33The trouble is, I need the cheapest stock watch I can get.
11:37Pocket watch.
11:38Pocket watch.
11:40I've got £1,100 on it.
11:42I can't really take less than £1,000.
11:46Do these come in silver or is it just gold that they come in?
11:48They do come in silver.
11:50I don't have any in the pre-1900.
11:53Paul, thank you so much.
11:54It's been a pleasure.
11:55I appreciate it.
11:56Thank you very much.
11:57All the best, guys.
11:58How did they not know that 18 karat is expensive?
12:03They went all the way there to be told the price
12:06and then worked out they couldn't afford it.
12:08What a waste of time.
12:09We went cheap and cheerful.
12:11We need to get a silver one.
12:13He said there's a couple more jewellers down here
12:14that would have some in stock,
12:15so we've just got to find them.
12:1816 miles away in rural Gloucestershire.
12:21Let's keep it short and sweet
12:23and I can't wait to see these sheep.
12:25Herding the rest of Dean's team.
12:27Meh.
12:28Meh.
12:29Oh, that's good.
12:30That's good.
12:31Catering pro Mia.
12:33Kisses is the first one.
12:34I'd really like to lead on the negotiation.
12:36Let's not overlap each other.
12:37Let's not over talk.
12:38I think it's going to be really easy for us
12:39to build a good relationship with these guys.
12:42So in terms of kind of what we need today,
12:44we need a full fleece.
12:46Yeah, we could do that for you.
12:47So in terms of what you would typically charge,
12:49what would that look like?
12:50I don't know, 40 quid.
12:52We were really looking for something
12:53around the 10 pound mark,
12:54if that's something you might be able to come down to.
12:56Erm.
12:58Police says they typically retail
12:59for about 25, 30 pounds, don't they?
13:01All right, 30 pounds then.
13:04But we're coming to the primary source,
13:07so hoping we can get it for lower than that.
13:10Could you maybe go to 13, 14?
13:15I'll do it for 20.
13:1616?
13:17Yeah.
13:1720.
13:18How about if we just go in at 18
13:20and then we just get going right now?
13:23Oh, go on then.
13:24Amazing.
13:24It's a deal.
13:26The thing is, I didn't really want to button
13:27into Mia's negotiation too much.
13:30Erm.
13:31Although I did go in and I just said,
13:32look, 18, erm, and then we get going.
13:35I hope Mia was OK with that.
13:37I think you did a fantastic job, erm,
13:40with the negotiate, leading the negotiation.
13:42And I do feel like we worked really well as a team.
13:45Unfortunately, I disagree.
13:46Erm.
13:47I felt, Malika, unfortunately,
13:48you interjected quite a lot in that.
13:50Erm.
13:50I don't know where you got the recommended retail price
13:52of 25 to 30 pounds from.
13:54Please can we make sure for the next one,
13:56if someone is to lead, that they lead.
14:02On the other team...
14:03This is the concave shoes with Ben
14:05that we're negotiating here.
14:06Yep, yep, yep.
14:06..having honed in on horseshoes...
14:08So I'd really like to lead this negotiation.
14:11Yeah.
14:11Erm.
14:12From that perspective,
14:12I don't want anyone kind of jumping in over me.
14:14Yeah.
14:14..Max takes the reins.
14:16Right.
14:16What are you going to do in terms of rapport build
14:18and have your thoughts?
14:18I'm not going to talk about that now, don't worry.
14:20Leave it with me.
14:23Hiya.
14:23Hi, Ben. How you doing?
14:24How you doing?
14:25Concave shoes are what we're after.
14:28High-end necessarily here.
14:29Have you got any used ones out of interest?
14:31Yeah.
14:32So what is your kind of guiding price on that?
14:34If we said £25 a pair.
14:38Is there anything you can do that's better on that?
14:39We were kind of thinking more around the kind of £10 mark
14:42at this stage and I know that's incredibly cheeky.
14:45Is there anything that you can do to bring that price down?
14:48I'll tell you what I'll do. £17.50.
14:50Erm.
14:52Yeah.
14:52Okay.
14:54What are we thinking?
14:55Should we...
14:55Do you mind terribly if we just take a quick five minutes
14:57and just thought I just want to make sure that...
14:59Brilliant.
15:00Thank you so much.
15:00No risk.
15:01So what are we thinking in terms of price?
15:03I think we can get him down a little bit lower.
15:05Okay.
15:05Yeah.
15:06I agree with that.
15:07We'll say...
15:08Yeah.
15:08Well, I think maybe if we go in at £15 and we'll say it all in,
15:12we'll do that.
15:13Maybe go in a £10 and work your way up.
15:14Perfect.
15:15Okay.
15:15While Max ponders pricing...
15:17Brilliant.
15:18Let's do it.
15:18Let's go.
15:20On the other half of his team...
15:23I'll be opening extreme, I'm working my way backwards.
15:26Leave this for me, I've got it.
15:28Salon owner Nadia...
15:30One of the things we're looking to purchase is a sheep's coat.
15:34Cuts to the chase.
15:35What would you charge for that coat?
15:38It would be sold for, say, £20 of fleece.
15:41£20 of fleece, yeah.
15:42Alright, cool.
15:43So I'd like to make you an offer, my friend.
15:46£1.50.
15:49Yeah, we couldn't go that low because it's just not justifiable.
15:52Sure.
15:52It just doesn't cover the cost.
15:53Okay, cool.
15:54That's good to know.
15:55Okay, so from that perspective then,
15:58have you got, like, a cost in mind of where you were thinking?
16:02£20.
16:03Okay.
16:04Any chance you could go for a tenner?
16:07Halfway?
16:10Mmm...
16:10Not really.
16:12Would you be happy to do £12 today?
16:14I think we could go for £12.
16:16Brilliant. Done.
16:18I think Nadia went in far too low.
16:20I got clear instructions from the project manager, Max,
16:23to go in at around 50%.
16:24The poor fella's got to shear the whole sheet for £150.
16:27It's an absolute joke.
16:29Done him a favour.
16:30Sonny, Sonny, look.
16:32You don't want that jacket on.
16:34Fleece bagged.
16:35Nice one, guys.
16:36For £6 less than the other team.
16:39That's great.
16:40Thanks.
16:41Nice doing business.
16:44Finally ready to seal the deal.
16:47Based on our discussion,
16:48quite like to bring that down to £10 if you can.
16:50Max makes his move.
16:53Can absolutely...
16:54Fifteen.
16:54Fifteen.
16:55Me in the middle at £12.50 and it's a done deal.
16:57OK.
17:00There was just a few things I'd like to touch on the last negotiations.
17:02Is that OK?
17:03Have we got time for that?
17:03Yeah, 100%.
17:04Yeah.
17:04So, obviously, we went in there.
17:05We talked about the concave shoes.
17:07The guy, Ben Benson.
17:08I just think, get a bit more personal with the guy.
17:09Mention the horse in the room, if you like.
17:11Mention the fact the horse was there.
17:13We didn't get personal.
17:14And just, no, please, please, let me finish.
17:15No, no, no.
17:16Are you happy with the deal that we got?
17:17No, no.
17:18Are you happy with the deal that we got?
17:19We need it to be lower.
17:21We needed it to be lower.
17:22No, we should have said to him.
17:23OK.
17:24No, no.
17:24Now I am going to stop you there.
17:26You put a price on there.
17:27You put a price on there.
17:27Listen to me.
17:29Carlo, listen to me.
17:30I'm going to get wound up now.
17:31You don't need to be wound up.
17:32No, no.
17:33You're not letting me talk.
17:34No, no, no.
17:35I'm going to take this one.
17:36No, no, no.
17:36I'm going to finish now.
17:37Look, Carlo, you've got a habit of having an opportunity to talk in the moment.
17:42Not talking.
17:42When you were negotiating.
17:43No, I don't want to hear anything more of it.
17:45I want to.
17:45So, I'm not allowed to speak, and when I do speak, you disagree with it?
17:48Is that what you're really saying?
17:52It could have been better.
17:53Simple.
17:54Thank you for your feedback, Carlo.
17:55Cool.
18:01Back in Stratford.
18:02OK, so the jewel is around the corner, Fred.
18:04Do you want to lead the negotiation?
18:05I'm happy to do that.
18:06Yeah.
18:06Cool, let's go.
18:07Let's get it, guys.
18:08Tasked with ticking off the pocket watch.
18:10There's one with a guaranteed hallmark.
18:13London, 1880.
18:14OK.
18:16Motivational speaker, Frederick.
18:18That sounds fantastic.
18:20Can we have a look at it?
18:21Sure you can.
18:22Where are you from, Andreas?
18:23I'm originally from Hannover.
18:24Ah, OK.
18:26Yeah, I've been to Germany.
18:27I love Germany.
18:27So, basically, what we're after, we're after the cheapest one.
18:30Well, you can have that for, take £5 off, £70.
18:34Our budget was, like, the £40, £45 pair mark.
18:37Can you come down some more for me, please?
18:40I doubt that he would get a silver one for £40, £45.
18:43You do £50.
18:44It's a nice number.
18:45£55, and we have a deal.
18:46If we can go maybe £52.50, meet us in the middle, that would be great.
18:51Gosh, I don't know 50 pence.
18:53£53, and we have a deal.
18:55We would really appreciate it.
18:55£53, and we have a deal.
18:57£53, and we have a deal.
18:58£53, thank you very much, sir.
19:00Much appreciated.
19:01No problem at all.
19:02As we went in to negotiate, Dean kind of steamrolled it and ended up leading it himself.
19:07But we got the item in the end, and I guess it is what it is.
19:11Watch deal wound up.
19:13Thank you very much, sir.
19:15At £22 under the asking price.
19:17I'm going to put it in my Skyrocket.
19:21Hey, guys.
19:22Heading to Stratford.
19:24How are you getting on?
19:25Yeah, doing really well, doing really well.
19:27We've managed to secure the concave shoes.
19:29For project manager Max, a chance to check in.
19:34How about you guys?
19:35Just quickly, basically we've found some rhubarb.
19:38But it's about, it's about a 40 minute drive.
19:42No, I need, I need more confidence in the other items.
19:46Um, Max, so, with the Banbury, we have five kg cut burn.
19:51Here we have Banbury.
19:52Come in here, Banbury.
19:53Oh, they're coming here.
19:54Oh, they're coming here.
19:54Oh, guys, sorry, yeah, yeah.
19:55Actually, we've just left Banbury.
19:57So perhaps that's something that we can pick up.
19:59Yeah, actually.
19:59Oh, focus.
20:00Did you want to swap one or two items with us?
20:03So we could locate and stay a bit more closer to Warwick.
20:06We'll take the rhubarb in Banbury because we're here already.
20:09Um, and what items do you want us to take?
20:12The coal hole.
20:13Right, we'll get that.
20:14We'll take that.
20:15Brilliant, guys.
20:15Keep smashing it.
20:16Let's go.
20:18Rhubarb reassigned.
20:19Drive.
20:19So we'd like to go instead to Wickham Park Farm.
20:22New plan.
20:23Are you happy with that?
20:24Yeah, thank you.
20:25Brilliant.
20:25Back to Banbury.
20:29How do you have your rhubarb, Richard?
20:31I love it stewed down with lots of sugar.
20:33Is that how you have it?
20:34Already foraging for a fruity deal.
20:37Oh, well, custard, isn't it?
20:38Rhubarb and custard.
20:39Rhubarb crumble as well.
20:40Yeah, rhubarb crumble.
20:42Johnny, Malika, Mia and Amber Rose.
20:45Obviously, you know, we're here to get 5kg worth of rhubarb
20:48that is freshly picked today.
20:50Yeah.
20:50How much would you usually sell that for?
20:52We're at 6.95 a kilo.
20:53Is that your best price, Richard?
20:57Brrrrrr.
20:58What are you offering me?
20:59We could pick the rhubarb ourselves.
21:01Is that something that we could do?
21:03Yeah, you can go and pick it yourselves if you want.
21:04In the case where we're picking it ourselves,
21:06I was thinking more around the £2 per kg mark.
21:09Tell you what, I'll go £2.95.
21:11OK, £2.95 then.
21:13So, altogether, that's £14.75.
21:15Perfect.
21:16Price agreed.
21:17Let's go and pick some rhubarb.
21:19Five kilos still to pick.
21:22The weather's lovely, isn't it?
21:23So many bees and wasps.
21:25OK.
21:27Let's be really quick, guys.
21:28Yeah, just leave it on the floor.
21:29Dump it on the floor.
21:30Oh, and a slug on me.
21:32This is my idea of hell.
21:38Having driven back to Banbury.
21:40So, when it comes to the rhubarb,
21:42how much do you sell it for at the end,
21:44to say, to a standard customer, for example?
21:45It's £5 a kilo.
21:47OK.
21:47Also, digging for a deal.
21:49We'd ideally be looking to get it,
21:51if I'm honest with you, sort of £2.53 mark.
21:54Telemarketer, Keir.
21:56If we go £3.25,
21:59or you can go and pick it yourself for £3.
22:02How long does that take?
22:03Oh, you can pick about 25 kilos an hour.
22:06Oh, no.
22:07Time is also something that we don't have lots of,
22:10unfortunately, right now.
22:12£3.25 is a good offer.
22:16I'm sort of very stuck in my ways when it comes to price,
22:19and when I think the price is a bit lower,
22:20it seems so much better for me.
22:22So, is there any way we can get it for that £3 mark?
22:24It would really make my day.
22:26Go on, then.
22:27Thank you so much.
22:28It's been an absolute pleasure.
22:30We didn't take her up on the offer of going and picking it ourselves
22:32because, you know, we've got two out of five items,
22:35so we've still got three more to go,
22:36and I think, yeah, time's important at the moment.
22:39So, a total price of £15.
22:41Would it be possible just for us to check with the weight scales?
22:43Yes.
22:43We would just want to be doubly sure.
22:45Of course we can.
22:45There's a saying, isn't it?
22:46Better to be safe than sorry.
22:47Let's get that one.
22:48Aww.
22:49Yeah.
22:50Exactly five kilos, guys.
22:5325 miles away.
22:54Hiya.
22:55Enjoy picking it.
22:56Thank you so much.
22:58Rhubarb wrangled.
22:59Let's hope you've got five kilos.
23:01Time to tally up their total.
23:045.7.
23:05There you are, look.
23:06Richard, can I just ask,
23:07if we were to take maybe one or two stems off of the pile,
23:12would you be happy to put them back on your shelf?
23:13I'll tell you what we'll do, look.
23:15That's £16.76.
23:16We'll do it for £15.
23:18You can take the lot.
23:20Is there any way, Richard,
23:21you could stick to the price of £14.75?
23:23Are you feeling generous considering we picked it so beautifully?
23:25Just on a special occasion.
23:26Well, come on then.
23:27As soon as you are so nicely,
23:28and you picked it yourself.
23:30Thank you so much.
23:30Appreciate it.
23:31They were more worried about being charged for the extra .7kg
23:35than they were about getting the weight right.
23:38They didn't get charged, that's the good news,
23:40but the extra weight will mean the spec is wrong.
23:44The only thing I want to mention
23:45is that obviously we picked above 5kg.
23:48We're just giving Lord Sugar a few more rhubarbs
23:49than he asked for.
23:50What's the problem in that?
23:51Absolutely.
23:52Lord Sugar loves a freebie and so do I.
23:53So I think...
23:55I think he'll be grand.
23:56I love the concept.
23:59Lunchtime.
24:00So we're looking for sweet avalanches.
24:02We believe they're a bakery item.
24:05I don't know what that is.
24:07Sniffing out their second item.
24:09It's called a sweet avalanche, that's all we've got.
24:12No, I've not heard of that before.
24:14Liam, Jana, Anissa and Nadia.
24:18Right, so basically we are looking for an item
24:21called sweet avalanches.
24:24It's a rose.
24:25It's a rose.
24:27Perfect.
24:28Can you reserve 12 for us?
24:29Do not give them to anybody else who calls you up.
24:32My name's Nadia Day and I'm going to see you in 20 minutes.
24:34OK, lovely?
24:37Done.
24:38Still on the streets of Stratford.
24:40Right, guys.
24:41It's a quail next.
24:42I've just seen one in that shop window.
24:44Next on the shopping list, one peacock quill.
24:47Do you want to lead the negotiation because I took that one from you?
24:50More than I have to do that.
24:51For Frederick, a second chance to seal a deal.
24:55OK, so how much would you usually sell this for?
24:58It's £29.99, the price is displayed here.
25:00Yes, £29.99.
25:01Yes.
25:01All right, cool.
25:02So I'm going to be candid, we have a shoestring budget.
25:05What can you do?
25:05What can you do?
25:06I can give a 20% max.
25:08It's a 24.
25:09It's a 24.
25:10It's a 24.
25:10We really need a favour today.
25:12Normally we don't do discount, mate, you know.
25:1420%.
25:15OK, look.
25:15Can we meet at 20?
25:16It's a nice round number.
25:1720 pounds.
25:18And I know...
25:19Let me check my system.
25:20OK, thank you so much.
25:21You really appreciate it.
25:23Yeah, I think I can give you 20 pounds.
25:28Oh!
25:28You are the man!
25:30This is the last one.
25:31Thank you very much.
25:32You've made our day.
25:33Thank you so much.
25:34Right, let's wrap this up.
25:35All right, well done.
25:36That was great.
25:37Another one in the bag.
25:38So we need to go and get the concave shoes next.
25:40That's the next one on the list.
25:41Let's go and get them.
25:442pm.
25:45Sweet Avalanche is this one here.
25:47Oh, they look beautiful.
25:48While Jana sweet-talks his way into a deal...
25:51I'm on a tight budget.
25:52Could you do 23.70 for us?
25:54OK.
25:56For us, price is of the essence.
25:59We want to really keep our costs down as low as possible.
26:02Malika pushes for a bargain bunch.
26:05How do you normally retail them at?
26:07What kind of price?
26:08These go out at £3 each.
26:10We were hoping for probably around like 60% of that initial price.
26:14Mmm, no.
26:15We can't come down that low.
26:17I'm really sorry.
26:18See, I'd be giving you them.
26:20We're going to go for the cheapest price.
26:21It's not really so much about the quality.
26:22It's really more about the price for us.
26:25OK.
26:25We pride ourselves on fresh flowers.
26:28Yeah.
26:28I understand about quality.
26:29So we don't...
26:30Quality's not your issue here.
26:31It's more about the...
26:32Yeah, it's more about the cost for us, really.
26:35Yes.
26:35I'm sorry, girls.
26:36They are stunning.
26:36Last question.
26:37Would there be any flexibility with price if we shouted you out everywhere saying you're
26:41the best flower shop?
26:42Yeah, and we'll do it right out there, right now.
26:43Would you do £2 each if we did that for you?
26:46You drive a very hard bargain.
26:49And you will do a day only £2.
26:51Right, right.
26:51Thank you so much.
26:52You're welcome.
26:53Malika didn't even let the poor woman finish her sentence.
26:56I do feel like we potentially ruined the rapport a little bit.
26:59Maybe being a little bit rude.
27:00It could only be a few pounds, but it might be the make or break.
27:03Three, two, one.
27:05Pink stage is the best flower shop in the world!
27:10Guys, we've got one more to go.
27:12Let's go!
27:16Banbury behind them.
27:17Punctuality is so important to me.
27:18My estimation is we have less than an hour and a half now to secure the other items.
27:22But with three items still to find.
27:25Carlo, can you just confirm that I did get the right postcard for the pocket watch?
27:29Max's team.
27:31I believe you did.
27:32Just give me a second.
27:33I just want to make sure.
27:35Banbury, Banbury, where am I?
27:37That's Eli Street.
27:3960 Eli Street is the pocket watch.
27:40And I think it was Richard.
27:44I mean, Carlo, that was your...
27:45I'll find it.
27:48What was the name of the shop?
27:49And it was, it began with, was it Hen...
27:51No, sorry, I haven't got the name.
27:53I couldn't hear it.
27:54It was very...
27:55The name of the shop.
27:57Pocket watch.
27:58Like, you just...
27:59Carla, you've just got to stay on top of that.
28:00Yeah.
28:00Because ultimately, like, your, like, one task is to just write down the names and stuff
28:04and make sure that we've got everything accurate.
28:06Right, okey-dog.
28:10We're looking for a few items.
28:11We believe you may stock them.
28:13So the first one is a coal hod.
28:16Closing in on the last of their list.
28:18I believe it's the bucket that holds coal.
28:21The rest of Max's team.
28:23Yeah, I would have thought we've got one of those.
28:25Right, okay, mate, cool.
28:26So I need you to do one thing for me.
28:28I need you to reserve it.
28:29We're on our way to you.
28:31Next one is a boat hook.
28:34Like a foot.
28:36Um...
28:37Please tell me you've got it.
28:38I think we might have the end piece.
28:40We might have the hook.
28:41Can you just get ready?
28:43Okay, can you get that ready?
28:43Whatever you think might, might be it.
28:45And then obviously we're coming to you anyway.
28:47Yeah.
28:47Thank you so much, Jay.
28:48See you then.
28:49Bye.
28:49Bye.
28:51Outside Warwick.
28:52So we're here.
28:53You might have some shoes for us.
28:55We're looking to pay as little as possible for you, to be honest.
28:58Like everyone.
29:00Looking for a deal on the hoof.
29:02Jordan.
29:04So Gary, I noticed you've got some used ones here.
29:06Are they for sale?
29:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:07So what could you do a pair of these for?
29:10I'd do a pair of like 20.
29:12We were looking to spend, honestly, a fiver.
29:17I'll be completely honest.
29:19Go on, Gary.
29:20A fiver.
29:21I can't do it.
29:22I can't go as low as a fiver.
29:23I can't.
29:2415.
29:2415 for an old pair of shoes.
29:2715 pounds.
29:28What can you really do?
29:2910 out and they're yours.
29:30Meet us in the middle.
29:317.
29:328 pounds.
29:33That's as low as it can go.
29:347.80?
29:357.80?
29:35No, no.
29:358 pounds.
29:36Cheers.
29:37Thank you very much.
29:37No worries.
29:38Nice shoes.
29:40Shoes horned in.
29:41There you go, sir.
29:42Got any change for me?
29:432 pounds.
29:43There we go.
29:44At 4 pounds 50 less than the other team.
29:47Happy to get my first purchase.
29:49I was in my element here.
29:51I'm on plenty of farms back in Ireland.
29:53So I knew we were going to do well.
29:55Let's hit another one off the list.
29:58In Stratford-upon-Avon.
30:00Carlo, just a reminder for me, the strategy from the morning.
30:02I know that you know this already.
30:03Please, please.
30:04But the 50% opening is what we've done so far.
30:06Aiming to prove himself with a peacock quill.
30:09I'd like you to follow the same tactic.
30:12Are you ready?
30:12I'm ready, guys.
30:13This is how you negotiate.
30:14Carlo.
30:16Is this your establishment?
30:17Yes, indeed.
30:18I'm the owner of Magicali.
30:19Oh, so interesting.
30:20As you're aware, we are after a particular item.
30:22Indeed.
30:23Which is the peacock quill.
30:25The price, yes, is 16.
30:26That's what we retail at.
30:28Okay.
30:28Is the kind of any movement on price, by any chance?
30:31Make me an offer.
30:32Oh, that's very kind.
30:33I was thinking maybe...
30:35Five pounds, maybe?
30:36Absolutely not.
30:37There's a little thing called a profit margin.
30:40Of course.
30:40A fiver I could not do.
30:42Can I just say you can see this is your passion?
30:44And as a kind gesture, we'd love to shake your hand at eight.
30:46Ten would do it.
30:50Erm...
30:50I've gone as far as I can go with this product.
30:53So, a tenner and it was...
30:54Can I say one last thing, please?
30:56Do you ever feel good when you do a good gesture for people?
30:59How does it make you feel when you do something kind?
31:01At ten pounds, I am doing you a really good gesture.
31:03Do you know what you are, Derek?
31:04So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to reach out my hand
31:06and I'm going to say, with a big smile, nine pounds.
31:09And that would be absolutely amazing.
31:10Ten pounds.
31:11I'm going to jump.
31:12Yeah, ten pounds.
31:13Ten pounds it is.
31:14Thank you so much from all of us.
31:16Yes, I did go against what Max said.
31:18However, I felt it was just completely justified
31:20because out of all the team members today,
31:21I was the only one who built rapport with their client.
31:25I just want to get off my chest.
31:26I'm a little bit miffed that you went against our specific conversation
31:30Which was?
31:31Around the 50%.
31:32And I said, please go in 50%.
31:33You went in higher.
31:34I could visibly see them getting irritated by that.
31:4030 minutes from the finish line.
31:42Hopefully that will be suitable for you guys.
31:44How's that?
31:46Collecting their coal hod.
31:47There is some dirt on the inside.
31:49And we'll clean that for you.
31:50No worries.
31:51I'll buy my dealers for that one.
31:52We'll do ten on that one.
31:53Yeah.
31:54And hoping for a bonus boat hook, the rest of Max's team.
31:58So Jed, we're also after a boat hook, but it needs to be over five foot.
32:02We do have a boat hook guys, but it is minus the pole.
32:07As I walked in, I see a wooden spade.
32:10Fine.
32:11I was wondering if maybe we could bring that into the deal.
32:14We can do something with that.
32:18I don't know if it's going to fit, but...
32:20My best snow shovel.
32:21It's up to here.
32:22Hang on, hang on, hang on.
32:24Oh, look at that!
32:26We got it, we got it, we got it.
32:28Right, let's just see if she fits.
32:30Right, it's looking a bit tight.
32:32Do you have a screwdriver and we can...
32:33Sure I do.
32:34If you hold it down.
32:35Wait, wait, wait, let me help you hold it down.
32:37No, it's working, it's working, it's fitting in.
32:39So we'll tie it on as well.
32:41See if we can thread this one through.
32:45Sometimes you have to improvise.
32:49And listen, I love his entrepreneurial mindset,
32:52but that is not what the specification was.
32:55What is the best price you could do this for us, please?
32:58Let's stick at 13.
32:5913's a deal.
33:01Perfect.
33:02Do you have any tools that we can use to take this off?
33:04Maybe try and knock it off.
33:0930 minutes till teams must stop shopping.
33:13My biggest concern at this point in the day is time.
33:16Yep.
33:16For any missing or incorrect items.
33:18I think my preference is to target the pocket watch.
33:21A fine.
33:22Would you be willing to meet us at 20% off your wines today?
33:25I would really appreciate it.
33:27We're gonna go and get the boat hook.
33:29We need to literally get it and go.
33:31Do you reckon we have time to get the cohort?
33:33No.
33:34I don't think so.
33:35You know what?
33:35I'll meet you halfway to 17 and a half.
33:37We've got 17 and a half percent off.
33:39So £3.30 is 10%.
33:41£1.15 is 5%.
33:43Can someone else remember that, please?
33:45Keep going through.
33:46Keep going.
33:47Where's the post office?
33:48Where's the post office?
33:49Where are we?
33:49Where are we?
33:5025, 50, 75, 100.
33:5317, so that's 167 pounds 40.
33:55That sounds about right to me.
33:57It's almost got some serious speed.
33:59It's got me.
34:01Here.
34:01Perfect.
34:02Let's go.
34:03How far are we from Warwick?
34:06Without traffic, you should be there in half an hour.
34:08Half an hour?
34:08Yeah, that's what I was worried about.
34:10I'm looking for £120 for this one.
34:14I'll split it with 170.
34:16165.
34:17Go on.
34:18Go on.
34:18Go on, 65.
34:20What is the best price you can do for me for a boat hook?
34:2480 is the best I can do.
34:25We'll take it off you for 60.
34:26It's a good deal, Dan.
34:28Best I can offer.
34:29We'll shake on 70.
34:30Thank you, Dan.
34:31Let's get to that castle.
34:32Get to the castle!
34:35I think we should get a move on.
34:37I agree.
34:38We're literally on the way to Warwick, and that's where the wine is.
34:41I'm worried about time.
34:42We need to go for it.
34:43I don't think we can make another stop and get there in time.
34:48Five minutes to go.
34:50What are we going to do?
34:50Beat the team.
34:51What are we going to do?
34:52Beat the team.
34:53Finish line, Warwick Castle.
34:55Go, go, go.
34:56Let's freaking go!
34:58I've pulled my chin!
35:00Oh!
35:01Oh, my gosh.
35:03But the first one's here.
35:04Where's the rest of the team?
35:07Well, hopefully we'll make it on time, but just remember, get your running shoes on,
35:11because we've got to fly up that hill.
35:12There's the castle there, look!
35:15Who's got dog chasing her?
35:17High knees!
35:18Come on, Fred!
35:21Yeah!
35:22Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
35:24Go, go, go, go, go, go!
35:24Go, go, go, go, go, go!
35:25Go, go, go, go, go!
35:25Go, go, go, go!
35:26Is that ours?
35:26Oh, no.
35:27It's not ours, it's not ours.
35:28I'm around.
35:29Are you walking?
35:30I'm concerned where our sob team is.
35:33Come on!
35:33Quick, quick, quick, quick!
35:35Yes!
35:376.30pm.
35:40Time's up.
35:41I did say I wanted to be punctual, and not here yet.
35:46We didn't get the cohod.
35:48I'm really gutted about that, but we did secure four out of the five items at a very good price,
35:53so I'm hoping it balances out.
35:54Who's coming round first?
35:55Come on, Liam!
35:57Come on, Liam!
35:57Come on, Liam!
35:58I'm a little bit disappointed and a bit worried about the sub team being late.
36:02Punctuality is key.
36:03You know, I made sure that my team was here on time.
36:05Let's hope that doesn't bite us later in the boardroom.
36:08Tonight, back to the house.
36:11Tomorrow, a battle in the boardroom.
36:20You can go through to the boardroom now.
36:39Good morning.
36:40Well, I sent you to Stratford-upon-Avon and surrounding Warwickshire to source nine items and negotiate
36:50the best possible prices.
36:52So, Dean, you put yourself forward as a project manager, is that right?
36:57I did.
36:58Any good reason for that?
37:00It's part of my background.
37:01I've been a bit of a wheeler and dealer in my past.
37:03I've always bought and sold.
37:05Part of your background, aren't you?
37:06A Shakespearean actor?
37:08I know nothing about Shakespeare.
37:09I do, actually.
37:11If music be the food of love, play on.
37:14Give me excess of it that surfeiting the appetite might sicken and so die.
37:19The strain again came on my ear like the sweet sound that breathes upon a bank of violets.
37:26Yeah.
37:27Wow.
37:28Wow.
37:29Are you impressed with that?
37:30Very.
37:31I should bleed and hope so.
37:35Now, come on then.
37:36Tell me.
37:37What happened?
37:38So, yeah.
37:39We sort of went to the Shakespearean town to get the pocket watch there.
37:41The first one we went into, he had a gold one and he wanted £1,100 for it.
37:46We all had a heart attack.
37:48As soon as you spoke to the fellow on the phone and he mentioned the word gold,
37:50you should have said so.
37:51Goodbye.
37:52His wife answered the phone and they said they had one in stock.
37:54No.
37:54And she said, and it's 18 carat.
37:56Oh, she did?
37:57She did.
37:58Okay, so we missed that.
37:59If I'd have heard her say that, I would never have gone there.
38:02But the one with a few doors down had a silver one and we had a deal with him.
38:06Fred, you weren't happy with this deal.
38:09Yes, so I think going into it, we agreed that I would lead the negotiation.
38:12But then, obviously, Dean ended up doing it.
38:15How much was it?
38:16Did he want?
38:17It was £75.
38:18We managed to get it for £53.
38:20Okay.
38:22So, Mia.
38:23Yeah.
38:24Who else was in your team?
38:25Johnny, Amber Rose, Malika and myself.
38:27Did you get the rhubarb?
38:29We did.
38:29We did, yeah.
38:30And you picked it yourself?
38:31Yeah, we all chipped in.
38:33I did make a point that I think we did pick a bit too much.
38:36But you thought Lord Sugar likes a bargain, you said Johnny, didn't you?
38:39Likes a freebie.
38:40Likes a freebie.
38:41I thought...
38:42I asked you to get five kilos and they came out of 5.75 kilos.
38:47That's correct, Lord Sugar.
38:48And that is why I'm not allowing that.
38:50Because you don't listen to what I've asked you to get.
38:53Now, it's not rocket science.
38:55Just take a few and chuck them off.
38:57Yeah, I appreciate hands up, Lord Sugar.
38:59Okay.
39:00Yeah, I mean, I would have interjected when Amber Rose was in negotiations.
39:03I was conscious of it because the feedback I received earlier from Mia
39:06I did feel was pretty harsh.
39:07What's this for?
39:08This was the fleece.
39:09For whatever reason, Malika felt the need to interject and say,
39:12well, actually, the recommended retail price is 25 to 30,
39:15which was a completely fictitious figure.
39:17So I didn't appreciate your contribution, Malika, because it wasn't true.
39:21And I did apologise and I appreciate the feedback and I did acknowledge that.
39:24And yes, it was a mistake.
39:27Right.
39:28So, didn't you get the wine?
39:30Yes.
39:30So I led the negotiation on the wine, Lord Sugar.
39:32I wanted to argue percentages as opposed to pounds off
39:35because I realised a percentage equates to more pounds off.
39:38The second thing I...
39:39You're into maths, are you then?
39:41Do you not?
39:41I'm an English tutor, Lord Sugar.
39:42No, I'm not at all.
39:43No, I know you're not.
39:44Yes.
39:45Because you negotiated 17.5% off.
39:48And when it comes to calculating how much you paid for the bloody thing,
39:52you overpaid £4.10p.
39:54Do you know what, Lord Sugar?
39:55That was the best maths I could do within the limited time I had.
39:58I don't think we've got a bad deal.
39:59I mean, it is another failure on this task, isn't it?
40:03Um...
40:03All right.
40:03Moving on from there, then.
40:05Um...
40:06Max...
40:07Yes, actually.
40:07You became project manager.
40:09Is that right?
40:10Yeah, that's correct.
40:11You became the merchant of tennis.
40:15Not quite.
40:16I think my...
40:17Because I've got a background in business strategy, I think, you know, negotiation is critical,
40:21but also planning.
40:22You know, this is a lot about logistics, time management, adaptability.
40:25They all fall within my remit.
40:27Right.
40:27Tell me about your team.
40:29I think you wanted to kind of have Carlo with you.
40:34Yeah.
40:34One of the comments he made, Lord Sugar, was the reason why I was going to be on his side
40:37so he could keep an eye on me.
40:39That's right.
40:40That's what I'm just saying.
40:40Did I say that to you?
40:41You said it amongst a table of people, so yes, you did say that.
40:44No, that's incorrect, Carlo.
40:45So what did you then say?
40:46No, no, no.
40:46What did you say that wasn't that?
40:47That's incorrect.
40:48You know, I've worked with Carlo on the last two tasks.
40:51I've seen absolutely zero business acumen that gives me confidence to put him in a leadership
40:56position, so I wanted him in my team.
40:58Carlo had ample of opportunities to jump in and be proactive like the other team members
41:02in my team, and he didn't show that today.
41:04No, no, no.
41:04You're going to hear this buzzword of lack of effort, Lord Sugar.
41:06There were a few concerns last week about my involvement in the task, ironically by Max
41:12himself.
41:13Not just from me, Carlo.
41:14Don't make this about me but you.
41:16Okay, largely you.
41:17Anyway.
41:18Let's move on a bit, shall we?
41:21When you first saw the list of nine items, did you all understand what they were?
41:27I had a little bit of an idea.
41:29I knew what the boat hook was.
41:30The boat hook?
41:31Yeah, that's correct.
41:32Yeah, I heard about the boat hook.
41:33You kind of improvised in it, didn't you?
41:35Yeah, sometimes in business you have to improvise.
41:38I borrowed a snow shovel and managed to join it up with a screwdriver and some...
41:43That's great innovation.
41:44I've seen it, and if I pulled a boat with it, it'd fall apart.
41:48So the idea of a boat hook from...
41:51I know what a boat hook is, my friend.
41:53No, no, I get that.
41:54Trust me, I know what a boat hook is.
41:57I've had more boat hooks than you've had hot dinners, I would say.
42:01But unfortunately, it didn't qualify.
42:04Simple as that.
42:05So now, tell me about the watch.
42:08So we ended up paying £165 for the watch.
42:11Really?
42:11It was on sale for £245, so we did eventually end up getting a third off.
42:17They paid £53 for their watch.
42:19Yeah.
42:19What was yours, a Rolex?
42:22And then the quill.
42:23The guy started off at £16.
42:26I went into Five Lord Sugar, but this was after I took an interest.
42:29I built great rapport.
42:30I was the only member of the team.
42:31But didn't your project manager tell you not to go more than 50%?
42:35He did, yes, but this was...
42:36So why did you take no notice on it?
42:38Because I felt like I built great rapport and also this was kind of...
42:40What did he say when you said a fiver then?
42:42He said...
42:43Well, he didn't agree to a fiver.
42:45He was offended, Lord Sugar.
42:45Yeah, I bet he was.
42:46He wasn't offended.
42:47He wasn't offended.
42:48Hmm.
42:50So we're just down to the wine, really, which you didn't get because you ran out of time?
42:56Or what?
42:58In hindsight, the switch to get the rhubarb in Banbury cost us the time.
43:02And we made a collective decision to miss out the wine based on that information.
43:08Hmm.
43:09Okay.
43:09Let's find out how we got on.
43:13So, Karen, what happened with your team, please?
43:16Well, Alan, they got seven correct items for £360.40.
43:23They obviously spent £40.75 on the rhubarb.
43:28As you know, they got the wrong weight, so that's a fine.
43:32They also didn't get the coal hod, so that's another fine.
43:37And total fines were £160, which is, of course, added to their number, which gives them a total spend of
43:44£535.15.
43:48OK, Tim, same question.
43:51Well, they also bought eight items, giving them a total spend of £261.20.
43:57But as they didn't buy one of the items, the affiliate wine,
44:01and they got an incorrect one, the boat hook, plus the fact that they were late,
44:05you imposed fines of a total of £377.94.
44:12So that gave them a grand total of £639.14.
44:17Hmm.
44:19Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
44:21Fine's done you in.
44:25Well, Karen's team, I suppose, to quote William Shakespeare,
44:29all's well that ends well, yeah?
44:32I'm sending you off.
44:34You're going from the origins of Shakespeare to a modern-day immersive performance
44:39of the gunpowder plot at the Tower Vaults near the Tower of London.
44:45Anyway, enjoy it, and I'll see you all on the next task, OK?
44:49Thank you, Lord Shakespeare.
44:49There we go.
44:53Yay!
44:55Yay!
44:56Yay!
44:58Oh, my God!
45:00So, to quote our friend Mr. Shakespeare, to be or not to be, the question's going to be,
45:07who's going to be here next week.
45:09So I suggest you go away, have a chat amongst yourselves, and come back in this boardroom,
45:16and I will be deciding who will be leaving the process today.
45:20Off you go.
45:21Thank you, Lord Shakespeare.
45:22Thank you, Lord Shakespeare.
45:22Thank you, Lord Shakespeare.
45:29So whose side are we on, hmm?
45:30Crown or Plump?
45:31What do we think?
45:32Yeah, go on, Dean.
45:33Yeah, let's blow it up, man.
45:36First time I stepped up as PM, really happy without a team.
45:39Listened to my strategy, just absolutely buzzing.
45:41Stop!
45:42In the name of Dean James.
45:43Everyone take all of these lots of guys!
45:45No!
45:47Two wins out of three.
45:48I am never going back to Elisa's Cafe.
45:52The Darby News keep coming.
45:54Well done, Dean James.
46:02The boat hook, that has cost us quite a bit in this task.
46:05Obviously, the shaft had come from a shovel, but that was the improvisation.
46:10I'm hugely disappointed that they went and opted for a makeshift boat hook.
46:15Liam is responsible for that, and he has some answering to do.
46:18At least we tried.
46:19With the boat hook, with the Ophelia, you didn't try.
46:22We struggled from a time perspective, and we had to make the collective decision to not get the Ophelia.
46:26I stand by that being absolutely the right decision.
46:29I think the PM team have responsibility as well.
46:32They did secure the Ophelia, and they paid triple the price of the other team for the pocket watch.
46:37Carlo, I was disappointed in your contribution to the task.
46:40It's so contradictory, so you say that I lack contribution.
46:42So I say, guys, this task, I'm going to be project manager or sub-team leader.
46:46Carlo, you may not.
46:48The person who should be fired is Max.
46:50He took responsibility for this role, and in the end he didn't deliver.
47:03Would you send the candidates in, please?
47:19To me, it's very clear.
47:21What killed you was the fines end of.
47:25£100 being late, the wine £227.94, and the boat hook 50 quid.
47:35The wine, not so much Ophelia, more like a bloody failure.
47:40I mean, if I have to pin the wine on somebody, who do I put it on?
47:44I think as project manager...
47:46They were fully responsible.
47:48Unfortunately, I think as project manager, you know, it was a collective decision,
47:51but I hold my hands up and say I had to make a call at the time.
47:55But alongside that, in my opinion, it's the fine and the boat hook that's caused us trouble.
47:59Yeah.
47:59And a lot of time was wasted, Liam, screwing things up, literally screwing things up with his boat hook.
48:05It was just a risk that I took as it was either having no boat hook or potentially having the
48:12correct thing.
48:13You can buy them in the boat chandler shops. They've got them there all the time.
48:16So I don't know why he didn't buy the real one instead of messing about.
48:21Chisola, pocket watch, £165.
48:25Now, as you know, the other team got one for £53.
48:28There's time to walk away sometimes.
48:31And £165 was too much.
48:36I'd like to just say, Lord Sugar, at that time we honestly didn't have any time to walk away.
48:40We were pushed for time at that point and we just kind of had to deal with what we had
48:44got at the end of the day.
48:45We had the whole day.
48:47Exactly.
48:49Anyway, Carlo, you were given the job to take down notes.
48:54What notes?
48:55Notes of the cause, Lord Sugar, so details of the person we were speaking to, location.
48:59Do you think you weren't deployed properly then?
49:01Oh, 100% Lord Sugar.
49:02I should have been leading the negotiations, that's my skill set.
49:04I think your statements lack substance.
49:07It's like me saying I'm as good at tennis as Andy Murray.
49:09It doesn't make me as good at tennis as Andy Murray.
49:12I'm really keen, Lord Sugar, to address something.
49:14This is not a me versus Carlo.
49:16This is a shared opinion.
49:17You've done nothing else but slag him off ever since we got here.
49:20I think it's actually Carlo versus Carlo.
49:22Carlo is his own worst enemy.
49:24Each task, he's done nothing.
49:26It's not just Max.
49:27Each task, he's done nothing.
49:28Is it not contradictory that I said I wanted to be involved because I took the feedback from last week?
49:32But yet I'm not allowed to.
49:34And he was there to see what Carlo did that day.
49:36So I think it's a bit unfair to be saying, like, he didn't do anything.
49:40He put himself forward in the morning.
49:42And that was it?
49:42He didn't get a chance to be a sub team.
49:45What more could I have done?
49:46Formidia Veras is another one of Shakespeare's famous statements.
49:51And this is what I'm hearing at the moment here.
49:54Anyway, Max, it's time for you to tell me which two people you are bringing back into this boardroom.
50:03Yeah, unfortunately, Liam, as sub team leader, I have to bring you back for the fines.
50:07And at the end of the day, there were three fines that contributed to the failure of this task.
50:11And two of them sat with the sub team.
50:13Your one fine was greater than the two fines that we indulged.
50:16I'd have to bring you back for that, I'm afraid.
50:18And for Carlo, for the reasons I've mentioned throughout.
50:22Just to make you aware, Lord Sugar, Max had brought me back to this boardroom yesterday morning.
50:25And I was well aware.
50:26I disagree. I disagree with that.
50:28Yes, he brought me back here yesterday when you made the decision that I have no involvement in this task.
50:32Well, we'll talk about it later.
50:33I'd love to deal in facts.
50:34We'll talk about it later.
50:36I would like to be able to quote my other bit of Shakespeare, but I don't think it's appropriate
50:40because it starts off away before me, my sweet beds of flowers.
50:44But it's not really appropriate.
50:46You're not my sweet beds of flowers.
50:48You're bloody losers.
50:49Go back to the house.
50:52Thank you, Lord Sugar.
50:53Thank you, Lord Sugar.
50:58Right.
50:59I'd like you to step outside.
51:01I'm going to have a chat with Tim and Karen.
51:04And I'll call you back in here.
51:06And then at least one of you will be leaving the process today.
51:11OK?
51:11Yes.
51:19Max, what do you think?
51:21He puts himself forward as his great strategies, but he didn't prioritise the most important items.
51:25They didn't pick up the wine and they paid too much for the watch.
51:28Hmm.
51:29Liam?
51:30Look, he thought he was being smart and showing initiative, but actually if you get a piece of wood and
51:35shove a hook on it, you can't claim that's the speck of the item because it wasn't.
51:39How about our friend Carlo? Did he do anything?
51:42My big issue with Carlo is that he's claiming he wasn't given any responsibility.
51:46You don't need a title to lead.
51:48You just need to do it.
51:50Hmm.
51:53Yes, please send the three of them in.
52:04Max, you were the project manager.
52:07It's whether you're responsible for the failure of the task due to lack of planning.
52:13And this was a planning task.
52:15I don't by any means think that I am solely responsible for the failure of this task.
52:20I actually think the contrary to that.
52:22You said yourself that the failure of this task, a lot of it was down to the fines.
52:26Two of the three fines sat with the sub team.
52:28Lord Sugar, I took a risk.
52:30In business, it's all about taking risks.
52:32The boat hook was £13 and it could have paid off.
52:35On top of, sorry, Max, however, did not take the risk on getting the wine,
52:40which is ultimately the failure of the task.
52:43I took a big risk going forward and putting myself as project manager, Liam.
52:47Hmm.
52:48Carlo, not the most popular person amongst your peers here.
52:53So you tell me what your position is because there's talk of you being disruptive.
53:00I understand your concern, Lord Sugar.
53:03I feel in some ways I'm being suppressed.
53:04I think people know that may be a threat and I can have a massive impact on this process.
53:08A threat?
53:09Yes.
53:10What have you shown as far as shrewdness and entrepreneurship to be seen as a threat?
53:18Well, Lord Sugar, if you look at the tasks that we just had now, it was one of the best
53:22negotiations
53:22and there was a reason for that.
53:24Only for one thing was the quill.
53:25Only for one thing, Lord Sugar, because I was restricted by the project manager.
53:29Yeah.
53:29My argument would be that when I announced what the sub teams were and that I was putting Liam in
53:34charge,
53:35you didn't speak up at that particular moment.
53:37I completely accept at the start of the day, Carlo, you said I want to be project manager or sub
53:41team leader.
53:42That was it.
53:43So you want me to repeat myself?
53:44In Carlo's defence, Carlo couldn't really put himself forward as the sub team because Max had said clearly that he
53:50wanted to keep an eye on him throughout the day.
53:52No, I didn't.
53:53I reject that.
53:54I reject that.
53:54I didn't say that in the meeting.
53:55No, no, no.
53:55I said this is the way it's going to go.
53:56Carlo, I've had enough of listening to this.
53:58I'm going to summarise and I don't want to hear from anybody.
54:05Liam, whilst you were responsible for half the fines, you tried to be an entrepreneur,
54:12you tried to come up with some idea about the boat hook.
54:17And so you are remaining in the process.
54:22Thank you, Lord Sugar.
54:25Carlo, you're a disruptor as far as I'm concerned.
54:30When you get messages from a few people about you, it's difficult to ignore.
54:41Max, I'm afraid that the failure of this task is a lot down to you because you are the project
54:47manager and you made a couple of fatal errors as far as I was concerned.
54:53So, you know, I can't overlook that.
54:57I'm really torn.
55:00This is difficult for me.
55:02And I just have to go from a gut feeling about how far you, Carlo, can get in this process.
55:14My gut feeling tells me that, Carlo, you're fired.
55:21Thank you, Lord Sugar, Prime Minister Brady, Tim, it's been a pleasure. Thank you.
55:33One thing for sure, Max, is that your scapegoat's gone now, right?
55:40I've got my eyes on you, Max.
55:42Not convinced, not absolutely convinced, but at the moment, both of you can go back to the house.
55:49Thank you, Lord Sugar, Tim, Karen.
55:51All right.
56:05I believe there's no mistakes in life, there's only lessons learned, so I'm going to take those lessons that I've
56:09learned and push forward.
56:10This is not the last you're going to see of Carlo or Brancati.
56:14All three of them are the failure, because Liam for the sub-team, project manager Max, and then Carlo, he
56:21did nothing.
56:23I do feel like it's a bit of a toss-up between Max and Liam, if I'm wondering.
56:27It's a tough one to call, man.
56:46What happened?
56:47We've had to fight our corner, and I feel like with Carlo, he thought he was a little bit of
56:52a disruptor.
56:53Yeah, I think Max is very lucky to be here.
56:55I do not disagree with you on there. I am a lucky, lucky boy.
57:02Now, 15 candidates remain.
57:05Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner continues.
57:11Next time...
57:13I want you to turn crops into cash.
57:15Tomatoes...
57:17I'm back where I started at three pounds a kilo.
57:21Potatoes...
57:21Don't worry about outside, we've got it.
57:23You've sold eight.
57:24You haven't got it.
57:25And in the boardroom...
57:26It's not rocket science, come on.
57:28A roasting...
57:29You're fired.
57:30You're fired.
57:31You're fired.
57:33You're fired.
57:44You're fired.
57:47You're fired.
57:50You're fired.
57:51You're fired.
57:52You're fired.
57:54You're fired.
57:56You're fired.
57:57You're fired.
57:58You're fired.
57:58You're fired.
58:00You're fired.
