This remains one of the toughest processes around.
Lord Sugar is on the hunt for the next big thing.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Battling to become his business partner,
18 ambitious entrepreneurs.
Let's go! I've pulled my shin!
Action!
It's a deal worth fighting for.
Come on! Please let me finish talking, please let me finish.
This is absolutely mental.
We're going to get nothing done if we speak to each other like this.
18 candidates...
We just don't want it looking like poo.
..12 tough tasks...
That's the biggest load of garbage I've ever seen.
Oh, no. Are you joking?
No, I'm not joking.
..one life-changing opportunity...
You're fired.
It's a bloody shambles.
You're fired.
Previously...
I'm sending you off to source nine items.
..Max mapped out a plan...
I'd like us to be opening in and around 50%.
..but his team...
So, we'd like to, kind of, go in at...£5, maybe?
..lost their way...
There's a little thing called a profit margin.
Of course.
..Dean led the rest...
Where do you want us to start looking at
from a ballpark perspective?
Yeah, right, I've not got a clue, to be honest.
..and despite some wrong turns...
DOG BARKS
Come on!
We've got a dog chasing us!
..in the boardroom...
Yes!
..he took the win...
All's well that ends well. Yeah?
..while for Carlo...
You're a disruptor,
as far as I'm concerned.
..a dead end...
You're fired.
..now, 15 candidates remain to fight for the chance to become
Lord Sugar's business partner.
PHONE RINGS
4am.
Good morning! Good morning.
Lord Sugar would like to meet you at New Covent Garden Market
in Central London.
The cars will be outside in 20 minutes.
Thank you.
Guys! Wake up! Wake up!
New Covent Garden Market in Central London in 20 minutes.
Is that a food market?
Oh, yeah.
I haven't put myself forward yet.
So, I'm guessing that I'm going to have to have to do it this time.
So, if it is food, I also feel like I have to put myself
up for PM again.
Do you have markets in Leeds?
Yeah, we do have markets in Leeds, yeah.
THEY LAUGH What kind of question is that?
Anybody up for putting themselves as PM if it's a food tour?
ALL: Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Guilty!
We need a win, guys.
We're coming off of the back of a hard, hard loss. Yeah.
I'm ready to not be in that cafe...
Yeah. Yeah.
..so, let's, yeah, let's do it today, guys.
In South London,
New Covent Garden Market,
Britain's largest wholesale
hub for fruit and veg.
Good morning.
ALL: Good morning, Lord Sugar.
Welcome to New Covent Garden Market.
Now, this is the place that people have been turning crops into cash
for centuries, which is exactly what I want you to do
for the next task.
I'm giving you half a tonne of fresh produce to turn into cash.
We have tomatoes there and potatoes here.
You'll be turning your produce into a dish to serve to the public,
as well as selling in bulk to the trade.
I've also arranged for each team to meet a corporate client
who are looking to place a bespoke order.
This is all about maximising revenue.
Now, Max, where's Max?
Because your team lost last time,
heads or tails - for tomatoes or potatoes?
We'll have heads, please.
You lost again.
THEY LAUGH
This team, what do you want?
ALL: Tomatoes.
You've got potatoes.
Brilliant. Fine.
It's simple, really.
The team that makes the most amount of money is going to win.
And in the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
Good luck.
I'll see you back in the boardroom in a few days' time.
Off you go.
Teams have two days to turn crops into cash...
Sorry that we lost the coin toss.
Who doesn't love potatoes?
..but first...
Does anyone have any suggestions?
..talk through a team name.
Team Ascendancy?
With every task, we're getting better.
Similar to a plane, when you ascend, you're going up.
I was thinking, I was going to say, Team Tidal?
Like a tidal wave coming in.
Regressing back, though.
We don't want to regress.
Oh, we do not want to regress. No, we do not, this is true.
So, guys, are we all happy with Team Ascendancy?
Love it. Yeah, let's do it.
Going up to the sky.
Yay!
On the other team...
Parallel?
..name nailed...
We're all in parallel together.
All aiming for the same goals, which is to win.
Parallel's good. I like Parallel.
Parallel? Cool.
Next, choose a leader.
So, I would like to put myself forward for project management.
My parents owned kebab shops, so I spent most of my childhood
in the kitchen.
I'm also an avid cook, so I think I'd be the perfect project manager.
Similar to Nadia,
I was born and raised in the food industry, and I've also gone
on to have my own business in the food industry.
If you feel like you want me as your project manager, I'm happy
to step up again.
Given, you've project managed twice,
my vote goes to, goes to Nadia.
Shall we do a vote? For Nadia?
Yeah, let's give Nadia a chance.
I'm buzzing.
It feels fantastic to be chosen to be to be project manager today.
I think the team have made a really good choice.
I've absolutely no concerns on this task.
Pitching for the top job on Team Tomato...
You guys know I've got a food business.
I've cooked more tomatoes than I could possibly imagine.
..meal prep entrepreneur, Mia.
If you'd have me, I'd love to be PM.
Who votes for Mia?
ALL: Yay!
Next, choose a dish to push to the public.
If we're looking to make money, I think pizza
is the no-brainer.
Yeah, it's all about ease.
Like, I go to street food markets a lot and I want quick, kind of,
grab-and-go dishes.
I feel like, with the pizza, you can make the pizza appeal
to a larger audience, and you can do it at a price point
that they're willing to pay.
I think, with this, they aren't going to be large meals
that they need to sit down and stew over.
We offer convenience, they're going to be tasty.
So, if you're all happy, I think I'm going to go pizza.
OK. I'm happy with pizza.
I'm happy with pizza.
Cool.
Brainstorming ways to peel a profit from spuds...
So, what are we thinking, team?
..Nadia's potato posse...
So, I was thinking of potato skins that are loaded.
We can make it very customisable, and we can add a lot of value,
and we can upsell as well.
Yeah, it is quite trendy and we want to look up the trends.
So, I disagree, team, sorry.
So, I think bangers and mash is the way forward.
You know, a very well-known UK dish.
I think there's a huge opportunity to up the basket spend
by selling additional serving sides.
I think more people would be interested in eating
potato skins.
We are trying to make the most amount of profit here. Yeah.
Like, do you want to have a sit-down meal or do you want
to have something relatively light?
The costing perspective is what probably worries me the most
about the sausage and mash.
So, I'm going to take the lead on this.
I'm going with sausage and mash.
Nadia made the decision to go for bangers and mash, which people
have raised concerns about,
but she steam-rolled those concerns,
even though they're very good concerns.
It seems to be Nadia's way, or the highway.
From my perspective, I think this is where we need to go. Yeah?
We need to think about how we're going to divide the team.
Next job for project manager Mia...
I've obviously worked with you guys on a couple of tasks now,
and I think I've got a really good perception of your skills.
..decide who will create the perfect pizza...
It's going to be myself, Melica, Emma and Dean.
I'll be happy to go into the kitchen.
I've got a pizza oven!
..and who will cut a deal with a corporate client.
Is there anyone from the corporate team that would like to put
themselves forward as sub-team lead?
For sure, yeah, I'd be happy to put myself forward.
I'm from Milan in Italy.
The connotations to tomato - Italy,
is something that I think I could add to the team.
I like the Italian heritage.
If you're happy to be sub-team lead...?
More than happy. Nice. Let's do it.
I'm really, really happy with the decision to make Fred
sub-team leader.
The fact he was born in Milan.
I have absolutely no doubts that he's going to be amazing
with the corporate client.
From the kitchen side, I would like Max, Chisola, Anisa and myself.
Also putting people in their place...
I would like Keir, Liam and Jana to visit the corporate clients.
..salon owner Nadia.
Nadia, my cousin has the biggest Sri Lankan catering and import
company in the UK.
So, I have gone with her to meet restaurants and all to kind
of pitch her food and put it forward.
So, I would love to lead the sub team.
Er, do any of you have food experience?
Not food experience.
Not food experience?
So, I would like to put you as sub PM.
OK? OK. I'm happy with that
I think that you could really lead that well.
But for the trade team, you need someone who has some
expertise in food.
So, I think selling to the corporate market, when you don't actually know
what you're talking about, is going to be harder.
No, we're keeping the team split exactly the way it is.
It makes no sense for Keir to be sub-team leader.
He has no experience in food,
he doesn't even cook,
and he didn't even put himself forward.
Does everybody know what they're doing?
ALL: Yes. Fabulous.
So, let's go and sell some potatoes!
Brilliant. Let's do it. Ready to go.
12pm.
Half of each team heads off to meet corporate clients...
We have to be cautious to not overpromise and underdeliver. Mm.
..while the rest...
Wow, team, this looks fab. Oh! Good, isn't it? Yeah.
..design a dish to sell tomorrow.
I think we should focus maybe on the sausages. Yeah.
Planning to turn bangers and mash into piles of cash,
Nadia's team.
So this is the Aberdeen Angus. Yeah. Yeah.
So that's the most expensive one,
so that's £3.50 per two. Nice.
So the vegetarian sausages, they're £1.50 cheaper
and it has good flavour and I... Yeah, I agree with that.
I agree with that. And we'll be able to cater to more people
by having it on our menu.
Yeah, I think there's so many more vegetarians and vegans.
So I'm going to make a call on this. Mm-hm.
I'm going to call the Aberdeen Angus sausage. OK.
OK?
OK, and to be clear, that's £3.50 per two sausages.
Per two sausages. That's right. That's correct.
OK, shall we move on to the mash, then?
I like a bit of horseradish in my mash.
Try this one. Yeah.
That's lovely.
Oh, no, I'm getting the kick. I can taste it. I'm getting a kick.
I think it takes over the taste of the actual mash.
Yeah, I agree. What's this got in it?
Just garlic? Garlic, yeah.
Just garlic.
I like it. I like that. I really like it.
Who doesn't like garlic, right? Yeah.
Vampires. No. Yeah!
That's... No. You didn't like it?
Oh, God, no.
Nadia, she did listen to our ideas,
but she had in mind what she wanted
and we kind of just all had to suck it up, really.
The garlic is 10p per 100.
It's super, super cheap. Yeah, it's cheap. It's super cheap.
I really don't like it.
So, mash we're going to do with horseradish.
Across town...
I think we should try a meat option. OK.
..prepping a pizza to maximise mark-up...
My only concern about the meat pizza is the pricing of the ingredients
versus if we were to go for a vegetarian option.
..Mia's team talk toppings.
The way we're going to reduce costs is by scattering one meatball
across the entire pizza.
OK. It's a good-looking pizza.
That's banging. I like that.
It's 88p to make one pizza.
That's good.
From personal experience, I'm used to cooking in very high volumes.
The most I've made in a day is 700 meals.
I actually have no concerns.
Are we happy with that? Mm.
See, look, I'm going back for another one.
Yeah, I will as well. Must be good.
Central London.
Laid on by Lord Sugar,
meetings with major clients looking to buy produce in bulk.
Hi, there. Nice to meet you.
Hi, there. I'm Harry.
Touting tomatoes at Italian-inspired chain Zizzi...
I love your risotto.
No-one does it like you do. Thank you.
..motivational speaker Frederick.
I want to say thank you.
I moved to London when I was 13 years old from Milan, in Italy,
and I really struggled to adapt to new circumstances,
new environment.
And Zizzi really helped me.
It was like a home away from home,
so we're really excited to actually be working with you guys
on this occasion.
That's great to hear you're such big fans. Yeah.
Yeah, we're celebrating our 25th anniversary,
so there is this opportunity for you to help by producing some
of the tomato bruschetta mix for us,
as long as you can meet our high-quality expectations.
Absolutely.
The tomatoes need to be thoroughly washed,
they need to be deseeded... Yeah.
..and then they need to be cut into 1cm cubes.
JORDAN: So, quality isn't even a question.
You know, we have the highest quality money can buy in the UK.
Do you know how many kilograms of tomato you would like us to deliver?
We're thinking around 120kg. OK.
We would be happy to help you guys out for around £6.50 per kilo.
It's probably a little toppy for us, to be honest. OK.
You know, what we could do, if it's of the quality
that you've said it is, and at the specification that Ollie said,
then maybe we could actually buy a bit more,
but still try and get the price further down.
I think 140kg at £5.25...
..sounds great to us.
150 at five.
150 at £5.10,
we could shake your hand and deliver an amazing product.
Let's do that.
So that would be £765.
That's right. Is that a deal? Yep.
Thank you very much.
Fredrik and his sub team came in
and they essentially schmoozed the corporate client.
They've promised them the world.
The problem with that is that there's a lot of expectations now,
and this bruschetta mix has to be perfect,
otherwise they won't get the £5.10 that they've been promised.
Before we leave, in terms of delivery time,
when would work best for you?
At some point around lunchtime,
ideally the earlier part of lunchtime.
Yeah, ready so we can use it in the evening. Fantastic.
Appreciate it.
We've got a beautiful bit of beef...
Brewing up a deal...
..that's looking for a roast potato to go alongside.
..with one of Britain's premier pub chains...
We would like just to blanch the product. OK.
..the other team.
The size is really key. Mm-hm.
We'd be looking for anything between 55g and 65g per potato.
OK. And how many potatoes or kilograms
do you normally tend to purchase in?
We would be looking for around 75 to 100 kilos of potatoes.
The biggest barrier we have that will influence the price
is just the turnaround time.
We are looking around the 8.50 mark.
Erm...
You're way off, guys. Way off?
Yeah, you're really way off.
I mean, guys, come on, you know, we all know how much potatoes are.
Let's work with them, though. Yeah.
Do you have a particular figure in mind from your side?
I mean, it's...you're going to have to be nearer to somewhere like
the kind of £3 to £4.
For us to be profitable from it,
it would really have to lie around the six to five mark.
I don't think we've got a deal, guys.
Sorry. I'm going to interject.
I think that I would be happy to meet somewhere around
the £4.50 mark for you, and I think that that's...
Needs to be lower than that, I'm afraid, guys.
All right, let's do this then.
Let's get on with it, because we've got a lot to do.
£4, how does that sound?
On this one occasion...
Yeah. ..I would agree £4.
But it's really important, guys, that the spec that Jamie
has described is what we get in terms of product tomorrow.
Thank you very much. Nice to meet you.
I appreciate that Jana wanted to sort of not budge on it,
but I think it was getting
a little bit awkward when it came to the pricing,
so I think it was worthwhile sort of interjecting
before we potentially lost the deal.
I think size is very key for this. Yeah.
If we don't deliver on the size and weight,
then we will be getting asked for refunds.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Mid-afternoon.
Our staple dish is horseradish mash, sausages and gravy.
Nadia's kitchen team...
We're going to be upselling cabbage.
..tot up the figures.
Got it? Mm-hm.
I think someone should double-check, but I think it's £4.86 a portion.
That's fine. This is coming in quite cheap.
PHONE RINGS
Ooh, sub team. Very exciting.
Are we ready for this? Yeah.
Hello, team.
How's it been, guys?
Basically, what they want us to do is pre-prepare
some roast potatoes for them for tomorrow.
OK. They've got, like... So we've sold £4 a kilogram,
and they've ordered 100kg.
OK, cool. Sounds perfect.
So let me just explain to you what we've baked in as a meal.
Horseradish mash,
two beef Angus sausages and red onion gravy.
What's the cost of each meal?
So it's around about £5 per meal so far.
OK. I am, being honest with you,
a little worried about that.
Yeah, so I wouldn't worry about it.
They will have an option to buy cabbage.
£1.50 to £2, I'd say, as a side.
We've got to go. We'll speak to you later.
Cool, see you later. Bye. Bye, bye.
LIAM SIGHS
You know, upselling cabbage is a bit of a wild one, in my opinion.
Hello, sub team.
Hello! Hello, PM team.
Cut-price pizzas pinned down...
We're going to go with the beef meatballs
with mozzarella and red peppers.
..for Mia, a chance to check in.
They only cost 88p.
Sounds good. Yeah, that's really good, yeah.
How did you guys get on today?
They want chopped tomatoes to make bruschetta.
They want the tomatoes deseeded.
They don't want any seeds in them.
Cut them into 1cm chunks
and then they want them washed thoroughly.
But are you confident you can deliver that amount to the quality
that they're requesting?
We're literally going to try our best.
I think it's going to be important to be organised.
OK. Yeah. Thanks, guys.
Good work, guys. Bye! See you tomorrow. Well done.
Bye-bye. Bye.
That spec is very specific.
1cm.
It's a big emphasis on precision.
Yeah. That's a lot of tomatoes, as well, that they've got to cut.
I'm hopeful.
Do you want another side?
Because this is coming in quite cheap.
Splashing the cash on her sausage and mash...
I would like to up the gravy, please,
because people always like extra gravy.
..Nadia.
OK, do you want more sausages than this?
Everything we do is a waste.
Like, if we don't sell it. OK.
Shall we get 300 sausages?
The sausages are our most expensive cost.
All right, so let's go for 250,
so that'll take it up to 400, yeah?
Cost. Are you OK with the maths for that?
350 divided by two, add to the whatever that is, which is 525.
That's what I'd got. £525.
We need to know what our cost per head is...
I had it at £4.86.. ..per portion.
..but right now I have it at £6.35 a portion.
It's not 6.35 per portion. But that's worth... No way.
It's £4.86 a portion. Yeah.
But you've increased 50 more sausages.
You'd be looking at about £4 a portion from what I'm working out.
That's not possible.
If I'm understanding the conversation,
6.35 is our cost per portion.
OK, cool.
Sounds good.
I'm not feeling good about what just happened.
Nadia made me in charge of doing the maths.
However, at the end, Nadia took the piece of paper and just randomly
started changing the numbers around,
which led to a very chaotic environment.
6pm...
Let's get cooking tomorrow and let's go for it.
Let's do it. Well done, guys. Let's do it.
..recipes wrapped up...
Well done, guys. Well done, team. Well done.
Well done, team.
One for the journey as well. Just take these with us, yeah?
..tomorrow, time to squeeze a profit from their produce.
4am.
Today, teams must deliver orders to corporate clients...
It's a big day today.
We've got 100kg of a specifically specced potato.
It's a fair bit.
..and punt dishes to the public.
Look, guys, I'm not going to sugar-coat it,
today's going to be really tough.
Any stock left over can be shifted wholesale to the trade.
Right, teams, time is of the absolute essence.
Drilling her spud squad...
I need everybody working in absolute synchronisation
with each other. OK.
..Nadia.
Fundamentally, we've got four hours to peel 900 potatoes. OK.
OK?
Sorry to interrupt you, who did this purchase order?
It was between us. I started it and then Nadia finished it.
Yeah. Who calculated the price of the sausages?
It was kind of mixed, but I definitely did a calculation.
I think you did as well.
You wrote that down and then I wrote...
Yeah, that's your handwriting. I'm asking a very simple question.
Who wrote down, "250 sausages, 525."?
Nadia. So, Chisola made the calculation and I wrote it down.
OK, well, it's wrong. Yeah. Yeah.
You've overspent, unnecessarily,
87.50.
OK.
KEIR SIGHS
OK.
At the end of the day, Nadia's the one
that wrote those numbers down.
She's the one who caused a lot of the confusion.
I threw out a number, she's ran with it,
but ultimately, it was the incorrect number.
Let's just crack on with this now.
There's nothing we can do about it.
We need to make up the money somehow.
I think the deseeding actually takes the most.
Focused on finesse...
Oh, this is a lot of tomato.
..Mia's team...
There's another one. Nice.
..tackle their tall order.
I'm not going to lie, guys,
the deseeded batches aren't coming out quick enough.
Do you want me to be less thorough, then?
No, I don't want you to be less thorough,
but I need you to be slightly more efficient.
Jordan, what are you doing?
I'm dicing them into 1cm cubes.
I'm going as fast as I can, but we need to get them right.
They look great,
but basically, you can chop in multiples at the same time.
Yeah.
The corporate client was really specific,
he wanted 1cm diced tomatoes,
but it's going to take them an inordinate amount of time
to prepare this 150kg.
That's nearly double my body weight.
Sorry, team, can you just tell me how much mixture's finished?
I say we keep chopping. Just keep going.
Just keep chopping.
Chipping away at their corporate order...
My arms are killing me.
..Nadia's team.
Nadia? Yeah. I think we need to be careful with our potatoes.
Why? Because they specifically said between 55 and 65 per roast potato.
You're not going to be able to stand there and measure 55g of,
like, 100kg of...
Like, it's impossible.
I'm just saying, I think we need to be more accurate with it.
We shouldn't have agreed that.
I don't even know why you agreed that. Yeah, I know.
That's their specifications.
We just asked them what they wanted.
And they just, like, reeled off what they want
and you just went, "Yeah"? Yes.
Hmm. That's too...too large. Too big.
Can we just forget about the sizing?
A decision has been made. We can't forget about the size...
It's really simple. We can't forget about the... So there's a spud.
It's going into quarters, down the middle.
You're going one, you're going down.
You're going half, you're going half.
Does that make sense?
The boys got a brief from the corporate client
that each potato has to weigh between 55 and 65g.
Nadia's told them not to worry about the weight,
just serve them what they get, and they'll be happy.
Well, I don't think they will.
They were very specific about the size.
How much does that weigh? 46, so it's not enough.
There are 21 boxes still to go.
On Team Tomato...
Probability of us actually finishing this is literally impossible.
It's zero, yeah, zero.
..lunchtime delivery looking dicey.
So, we're going to have to push back on time.
Have to leave latest 11.30.
I disagree, I think we should leave as late as possible,
so we get as much as we can, because that's guaranteed money.
I just genuinely think... Absolutely not, bro.
If we get there after the proposed lunchtime... They might not want it.
..they'll say we don't need it any more. Yeah.
You're the sub-team leader,
like, we're a team, we're trying to win.
OK, well, either you respect I'm the sub-team leader
and leave it or... Say no more. ..keep saying what you're saying
and speak to the PM.
I feel like I've come into a really frosty environment.
So, Jordan is suggesting... Yeah.
..that we arrive later than lunchtime,
in order to provide... I didn't say later than lunchtime.
Jordan, please let me finish talking. Don't twist my words.
Guys, this is absolutely... Why do you need to raise your voice?
This is absolutely mental.
We're going to get nothing done if we speak to each other like this.
We said to them we're going to give it to them by lunchtime,
so we're better off getting there on time,
and even if we have less product.
Don't try and twist my words and say that and raise your voice at me,
because that's just incorrect, pal.
I do think we need to up the pace.
More positivity. No speaking to people like rubbish.
Just do the best you can and we'll see what we can do.
I think there's been no strategy from the beginning.
I think the PM has gone in here blind, saying,
"Well, if we stay positive, things will be great."
Positivity isn't going to win this task.
I'm the only one in there sweating, getting my elbows dirty,
going down and just trying to get this over the line.
How much have we done in the time we've had so far?
We've got two boxes.
How long did that take us? Two hours?
Yeah... Hour and a half.
Nadia,
none of those are anything like the spec.
In the potato prep kitchen...
Keir, we've had this conversation literally now for, like,
an hour and a half.
..things reach boiling point.
So you're comfortable with giving them as 55 to 65...?
I am comfortable giving those roast potatoes. That's fine.
I just wanted to confirm that.
Everybody relax.
Right, can we start cooking the cabbage?
You know how to do this, right?
Yeah. Right, stick it on boil. Four minutes.
Blanch it.
Fill up the sink with ice.
Let me get the ice first. One sec.
Something's burning.
Yeah, something's definitely burning.
It's the oven down here.
You sure? Yeah, 100%.
Er, excuse me,
I think there's something burning here.
Why is there cabbage on...?
Oh, my God, who has done that?
Shit.
So, just conscious, team,
just be careful you're not putting it on the hob,
because things are burning,
so obviously with the cabbage,
that's now gone on the hob and it's burnt.
Lunchtime looming...
I may as well work in a pizza shop.
DEAN CHUCKLES
..Mia's team weigh up their options.
Right, guys, in total, we've got four boxes
to sell to the corporate client.
It comes to around 20kg.
Do you think we should keep going for another hour?
Do you think that's enough to sell to the corporate client?
I think, for what it's worth, if we're going to put everybody
over there just to make another fiver's worth... Yeah.
..is it worth just focusing more on the pizza side of things?
Because that's where the money is.
Yeah. I can see the logic when you put it like that,
£5 for another kilo.
That's what I'm saying. We're going to sell one pizza for £7.
Exactly that. Yeah. The juice ain't worth the squeeze.
Team, can you all start talking to me?
What are you all doing right now? Packaging.
Packaging, OK. I'm currently trying to get the burnt bits
out of this cabbage. Great.
All right, Keir, if you can just start with the gravy granules.
So, basically... Yep. ..we just want to stick probably
about four or five scoops in there. Cool.
Do you know what? Honestly, it's not that pedantic.
Pop it in. Keep stirring.
KARREN: What is that?
I don't know. It's supposed to be gravy,
but I feel like we don't have enough liquid in it.
Nadia, I'm going to put more water in this.
It's like sludge.
Yeah, so you just need... Do you know how to make gravy?
Do you actually know how to make gravy? I'm...
You've just put that in. If not,
then just tell me you don't know how to make it. Cool.
I'll leave you to do it then, Nadia.
With the stress levels rising,
Nadia's tone is getting sharper and sharper,
and it's really not happy in the kitchen.
So, Max, you're going to be doing cabbage. Chisola's on the mash.
OK. But Chisola can't lift this on her own.
Right, that's fine. So why are we lifting it?
There's a net, so why don't we scoop into there?
Fine. Yeah? Common sense.
Is it common sense or is...? It is common sense. Come on.
Midday.
Right, guys, we need to go. Yeah, we're ready.
We're loaded up.
While half of each team head off to market...
Why isn't it open?
..the rest will deliver orders to corporate clients.
Let's get selling!
My main worry would be the quality element of these.
Some of the potatoes were pretty small.
Yeah. But at the end of the day, if this company don't buy
because of the spec, that's got to be on her.
Yeah, no, 100%.
And I'm also still, if I'm honest, a little worried
about sausage and mash.
Come on, guys, we're ready for you. We're open.
You guys look hungry.
Do you fancy some classic bangers and mash? No?
Greenwich Market.
Can we entice you to one portion, my lady?
No?
Bangers and mash? No, thanks.
Bangers and mash today? No.
You'll try one? Yeah, go on, let us know how it tastes.
Lovely. Bangers and mash?
Bangers and mash? No? No worries.
What do you think? It's OK.
Just OK? It's OK.
Oh, wow. This is going to be tricky. This is going to be tricky.
I personally think it's the choice of dish. Sausage and mash,
ultimately, it is, you know, a full dish in its own right,
and probably isn't best suited for a market.
And I think that's why we're having challenges today.
It's tough, it's tough. It's really tough.
It's bangers and mash is the issue here.
It's not the price.
Across the market...
I've had a little look around some of the businesses here.
We are the only pizza provider.
I want us to go in at £10 per pizza.
..Mia's team push for a slice of victory.
Excuse me, sir, would you like some pizza?
We're selling pizzas for £10 each.
Would you like some pizzas?
Have you had your lunch yet?
£10 pizza, only available today.
Would you like some? Maybe take some pizza home.
Are they vegan-friendly?
Ah. Maybe your dog? Maybe your dog might want some.
No, I think she's all right.
All right, well, thank you for your time.
While Melica struggles to get a bite...
Are you happy if I whack on all the sauces?
Truffle oil? Yeah, let's do it. Perfect.
..earning a decent crust, Emma.
Thank you.
£13 for the all-in.
Thank you.
If no-one's had lunch, we're selling pizzas for £10 each.
Hey, sir, with the glasses.
Come over here.
£10 pizza.
I'm concerned Melica's approach
is potentially intimidating customers.
Really got to be careful that we're not scaring them away.
I think let's be careful not being too loud.
Fresh pizza?
Central London.
Hello, hello, hello.
Delivering on yesterday's promises to the pub chain...
What we did for you,
we prepared them all into 2kg bags for you.
..Jana, Keir and Liam.
So, the size is a bit inconsistent.
Some of them look really small.
There's a spec of 65g
and we just wouldn't be able to serve them to our customers.
OK.
So, I guess the challenge is, guys,
you haven't met our spec consistently.
Mm-hm, sure. So I think it would need a significant discount in price,
and I'm talking something like £2.80.
OK, erm...
£2.80, being realistic,
is going to be a tough one.
We probably need to be somewhere around the £3.20 mark.
I appreciate there's some that aren't right,
but when they are, they seem good.
I think if you guys can do 2.95, we've got a deal.
If you haven't, take the potatoes away.
Yeah, it's a...it's a tough one.
Just so we're at a round nice number,
can we agree on three?
OK, guys, we'll do £3 on this occasion. Yeah?
So a total price of price of £234.
Deal? Brilliant.
Great to work with you.
They knew the negotiation was going to be tough
because they didn't bring the spec the client wanted.
Keir owned that, and I have to say, I think he did quite well
to get £3 per kilo.
How did it go?
It went OK.
They weren't happy with the quality.
We did have to drop the price from the £4 to the £3 mark.
OK. All right, guys. Cool. Well, well done.
How are your sales going?
Yeah, so we've sold eight so far.
Guys, it's really... It's really tough.
What have you sold them for? What rate?
Guys, don't worry about our side. We've got it.
You've sold eight!
You've sold eight, though. You haven't got it.
Across town...
Hey, good to see you. Hey, guys. How're you doing? You all right?
..for Team Tomato...
Fantastic. Is the, erm...? Is the rest...?
Is that the sample for us to test?
..time to face the music.
Unfortunately, we have some bad news
and we are going to take full accountability for it.
We weren't able to fulfil on the 150kg that we agreed upon.
How much have you prepared?
The total weight is around 20kg.
Wow. OK.
So we're about 130kg short.
We are 130kg short.
So kind of 80%, 90% short. Yeah.
Yesterday we agreed to £5.10 per kilo.
How close to that agreed amount could you get today?
We're nowhere near at £5.10 now,
because we've got to put in a lot of resource ourselves.
I'm kind of back where I started at £3 a kilo.
From our perspective, £3 a kilo will barely cover all of the effort
that we've put into it.
Could we settle around £3.50, then?
Yeah, we can do £3.50,
but that's it, because we've got a lot of work to do now.
So the deal is £76.83, then. Thank you very much.
Appreciate it, Ollie.
The plan going forward is to simply sell as many tomatoes to restaurants
around the city as we can.
It's our only chance at salvaging this task, to be honest with you,
because we've made a dog's dinner of the corporate client.
How are we getting on, guys?
So, we went to the corporate client.
Of course, they were very disappointed in the quantity.
Basically, we ended up closing at £3.50, which was around £76.
OK. We sold a load of pizzas.
In terms of the quality, Dean and I are absolutely smashing it.
They look fab. Yeah, they look so good.
Sell as many pizzas as you can.
We're going to sell as many tomatoes as we can.
And fingers crossed, make some cash.
Let's make some dough. Speak later. Cheers, guys.
See you later. Bye.
Are we holding the price?
Let's hold it for a little bit longer.
£10 for a very small pizza,
it's a lot, but it is working.
IN JAPANESE:
Pulling out all the stops to claw back cash...
Don't give up.
Keep talking.
Look at me, I'm dressed as a potato. You have to.
..Nadia's sales squad.
Got one bangers and mash, £13. Here we go.
We have got a special deal on today.
It's £10, so I was wondering if you would be interested.
We're selling it for £13 today.
Can I tempt you?
So that's £10 then, please. Brilliant.
So I've got £13 there for you.
Lovely.
If you buy it now, I can do you a special deal at £10.
How would that sound? So it's usually 13. No, sorry.
Are you sure? Are you not hungry?
Thank you.
Are we just discounting prices now?
I mean, I'm just giving a little bit of a special,
because we're not getting the sales.
OK, so are we allowed to do it as well?
Yeah, you can, but don't go lower than £10.
Nadia was so keen to get a sale that she took it upon herself,
without telling anyone, to sell portions at £10 each,
when everyone else was trying to get 13.
I mean, that's not great leadership.
It's better to sell something than nothing, right?
Yeah, no, that's fine. We've got a lot of product.
But you need to tell us. Yeah.
No, no, I was literally... You were talking to someone.
OK, no, that's fine. So I was waiting. Yeah.
Corporate deals done and dusted...
We have 355kg of tomatoes.
It's a lot of damn tomatoes.
..for both teams...
Ah!
..last chance to shift remaining stock.
210 and I'll shake your hand right now.
I'll bring you in four bags. All right. Lovely.
I grew up in Italy, so I know a good tomato when I see one
and this is top quality.
Do you fancy some bangers and mash?
Hello, mate. Fancy a pizza?
It's six inches, so it's about that big, I'd say. Yeah.
You could just have a sausage each.
What do you reckon?
Enjoy. I'm going to get you some good gravy on that.
20 minutes till sales must cease.
We're going to drop the price. Yeah.
All right, chicken shop down here on the right.
Everything's got to go.
Pizza, they're going to go.
£5.
Absolutely banging.
Three pizzas. Boom!
Nice. Bosh!
OK, guys, market closed.
Trading over.
Well done, guys. Cheers! Cheers! Well done.
If we end up in the boardroom tomorrow,
I do think it's largely down to Frederick.
The requirements that the client put forward to us and the nature
of how much they wanted,
it was ridiculous from the onset.
I think it was destined for failure from the start.
That was tough. Yeah. That was really, really tough.
If we end up losing this task, it's definitely Nadia to blame.
She made poor decisions throughout the whole task.
Tonight, profits digested.
Tomorrow,
results served up in the boardroom.
You can go through to the boardroom now.
So, an interesting task.
I presented you with 500 kilos of tomatoes
and 500 kilos of potatoes.
And the idea was that you've got to go off now and make money.
Now, who shall I start with?
Let me use my famous pen.
LAUGHTER
ALL: Oh! Oh, there you go.
You won that one.
LAUGHTER
So, project manager is Nadia.
Yes, Lord Sugar.
And any reasoning behind that?
So, I come from a food background.
My family had multiple kebab shops and fish and chip shops.
Oh, right. Fish and chip shops.
You must have come across some potatoes in your time, then.
Plenty of spuds.
Yeah, I would think so. Plenty of spuds.
So that was your logic behind it, yeah?
I put myself forward as well for project manager.
You'd already done it before, haven't you?
Yeah, but I'm the only candidate here who's running a successful
food industry business.
And also... You can't be project manager for all 12 tasks.
I understand, I understand that.
You know, I mean, you know, it's a bit much.
Yeah, no, I understand that,
but I have a lot of expertise in this.
OK, well, I'll get a new task next week -
concrete.
LAUGHTER
So that you won't put yourself forward then.
Anyway, Nadia, what dish did you decide to produce?
I chose bangers and mash. Right, I mean,
did you choose bangers and mash? I chose the bangers and mash.
And what did the others...? Just on that, Lord Sugar... Yeah.
..I think the majority of the rest of the team were sort of swaying
on the side of potato skins.
Naturally, we were going to a market stall
and you don't think you'd want, you know, a full-on sat-down meal.
Hmm, OK.
So, bangers and mash.
So you had to go and buy the bangers.
There was definitely a conversation around vegan and vegetarian,
but fundamentally I wanted to produce the sausage
for the masses.
I think, yeah, myself and Anisa
both were for the vegetarian sausages.
I think we tasted them, they tasted really good.
And they were a bit cheaper, weren't they?
They were cheaper as well. They were a lot cheaper as well.
Yeah, I think they're about 1.50 compared to £3.50
for the... Per portion.
..portion for the sausages.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, what was your target?
We costed for 100 portions,
and then I think Nadia wanted to add in a bit of a buffer.
So, 100 and you bought, I think, 250 sausages. Is that right?
So what happened was I worked it all out for 100 portions,
and then she took the sheet away from me and just randomly started
adding more sausages, more milk, more butter.
The calculation was done by Chisola, actually. Yeah.
And I take accountability for writing on the sheet,
so it's with me.
What you don't understand, Alan, is they miscalculated the price
of 250 sausages... That's right. Yeah.
..and ended up costing themselves £87.50.
Yeah. Hmm.
The next plan was to address a corporate organisation.
They said they wanted between 80kg and 100kg.
And did they give you an indication of what they wanted them like?
Yeah, which was 55 to 65g of potato
and they gave us instructions as to the cooking process.
You were blanching these potatoes. Yes, correct.
So their remit was they wanted them soft in the middle
and fluffy on the outside.
Yeah. Sounds a bit like me.
Well... Yeah. A bit.
Yeah.
Now, we're on day two.
We're in the kitchen.
I was just like, "Everybody on potatoes.
"Let's just get as many peeled as possible."
But I think after the first 90 minutes of us peeling, for me,
that's where it got a little bit more chaotic.
I know that kitchens are chaotic, but for me, I lost sight...
It did almost burn down, didn't it? Yeah. Yeah, I lost a little...
When the cabbage was left to dry on a hot stove. Yeah.
There was a lot of burning.
Yeah. It wasn't good.
Right, when you took them back to the corporate,
the price you negotiated initially was what?
Was £4 originally.
And what did they pay you in the end?
We negotiated down to £3.
Why? Because they weren't happy with some of the sizes of the potatoes
and the condition of the actual potatoes.
From what I heard, they looked like they'd been peeled
by Tyson Fury.
How much did you end up getting from these blokes?
So, it was £234 we made.
All right, let's move over to the tomato team.
Mia, you became the project manager, is that right? Yeah, I did.
Any particular reason?
I have a passion for catering.
It's my experience, so I felt it was best placed for me.
Good, good, good move.
You chose a pizza. Yeah.
As a collective, we all agreed on meatball pizza.
I wanted to break down the individual meatballs.
The cost to make of the pizzas was incredibly low.
I think it came out to around 88p.
Right. It worked out we could use one meatball per pizza...
One meatball per pizza?
Yeah. Generous, then.
OK. Then you've got the corporate team.
Tell me what happened there.
Yeah, so they wanted 120kg of tomato.
They wanted them diced in 1cm by 1cm cubes.
Yes, so the specification... Really?
How much did they want?
So, initially they wanted 120kg. Kilos?
Yes, 120kg. Wow.
HE CHUCKLES
120 kilos of diced tomato.
Yes, and we walked away with 150kg for £5.10.
You're obviously not very technical because, I mean, think about it.
What you promised these people was 150 kilos of diced tomatoes.
It doesn't take much common sense to realise how difficult that is.
And deseeded.
Deseeded? Oh, yeah, deseeded.
Max, you're a professional tennis player, right?
You should know about not being seeded, right?
LAUGHTER
KARREN: Oh, that was low.
Good job I've got thick skin.
Yeah. Wow.
Anyway, let's go on to day two now.
You're in the kitchen.
You had to make 150 kilos of this stuff.
How much did you make in the end?
We made significantly less. 21.9 kilos. Why?
I feel like we were working as hard as we could with as much accuracy
as we could, because I was cautious that the corporate client
had very specific specifications. Lord Sugar, I was there.
The team heavily underestimated... Yeah.
..what 150kg of tomatoes not only looks like,
but how much time it would take to prepare.
One thing I would say as well, deseeding was a big job
and I think it's quite easy to say, "Oh, dicing was hard.
"It is hard. But equally, I'm familiar with dicing.
"I'm not very familiar with deseeding a tomato."
It's not rocket science, Jonny. Come on.
"Not familiar with deseeding." I think the dicing was...
"I've got a 2:1 at university in deseeding tomatoes."
Come on, Jonny, for God's sake.
Anyway, you had 25 kilos and they wanted 150 kilos.
How did that work out for them when you turned up?
They were really happy with the quality, not with the quantity.
Therefore, we had to renegotiate the price.
We renegotiated to £3.50 per kilo.
All that work for 76 quid, basically. I know.
Let's get into the market now, about these pizzas.
What happened with the pizzas?
Myself and Dean were responsible
for cooking and preparing the pizzas.
Dean has a pizza oven.
I have a catering background.
Dean's got a pizza oven.
LAUGHTER
That's his... That's his claim to fame.
I would say I was the most experienced with pizzas.
I'm not good with food, but I can cook a good pizza.
He was very proud of his pizza oven. Right. Thank you, Tim.
Can I have an answer, please?
What was the price of the pizzas?
So we originally put the price at £13.
That's with all the toppings.
Yeah. Right, OK.
Good project manager?
I felt the whole positivity thing in the kitchen
was a bit ridiculous, to be honest.
You know, we were here to... Why are you laughing at that?
Because I think that's crazy, Jordan,
because Frederick shouted at you across the kitchen.
Is that an environment you would prefer to work in,
rather than someone that's trying to create a positive environment?
Right.
Look, I think it's time to see how the teams did.
So, Tim, could you tell me what Ascendancy spent?
Well, the team with their one meatball,
they spent only £183.10
on all of their ingredients.
And what were their sales?
Well, they really pushed hard in the market.
They made £350.93 from their public and trade sales,
giving them a total profit of £167.83.
Right, OK.
Karren, same question.
Parallel, how much did they spend?
Well, they spent a lot more.
£635.90.
But they also sold a lot more.
562.50.
But not enough to even make a profit,
so they made a loss.
£73.40.
£73.40 loss.
Anyway, for your treat, I've organised a veg-packed
private Italian cooking masterclass
with legendary professional Gennaro Contaldo.
Emotions. Well done, man.
She's done an excellent job.
That was a lot of hard work. I'm all good.
I packed my bags this morning because I didn't think
we were going to get the win, so I'm just really pleased.
Well, you won. I know, it's happy tears.
I'll help you unpack them, if you want.
LAUGHTER
That's an offer you don't get every day. Yeah.
But anyway, I'll see you on the next task. OK?
Thank you, Lord Sugar. Thank you, Lord Sugar. Off you go.
CHEERING
Well done, well done. Well done!
This, in my opinion, was a very simple task.
These are potatoes.
Turn it into money.
And what you did was you turned it into a disaster, really.
You know the drill now.
You're going to have to go away and talk amongst yourselves.
OK? So off you go.
Thank you, Lord Sugar.
I'm going to show you how to do a simple recipe.
Fresh pasta with tomato sauce.
Look at that. You've got lovely tagliatelle.
So even though we got the W, I was actually a little bit
disappointed in my performance as sub-team leader.
You cut them in half.
We're good at cutting tomatoes.
So you can cut them all. Nice.
I know there is much more that I can do
and I look forward to making amends in the future tasks.
Look at that. Wow, wow. Oh, my goodness me.
I think the fact this was a meal prep task... Mm!
..I did definitely feel a lot of pressure.
Unbelievable. I love the way you're eating.
However, I think I've managed to keep my reputation.
Thank you for today, Gennaro.
And salute, everyone. Yeah.
ALL: Salute!
The failure lies in the costings.
We made a massive loss and that came down to having really high cost
and low sales.
Nadia's responsible.
Throughout the whole task, she's made poor decisions,
she didn't listen to the team,
and that's what's cost us to where we are now.
Can you help me to understand why the price significantly dropped
on the corporate side?
Because they were unhappy with size and weight, was crucial.
You said, "It doesn't matter. They're not going to check."
Fundamentally, I'm completely unsure as to why you're looking
at all at the corporate team, if I'm honest.
Ultimately, it looks like Nadia's going to try
and blame the corporate side.
The issue was the pricing and the product, which she decided.
Ultimately, this team lost because of you.
Everyone made a group decision here,
we would have probably won, but instead you chose to do
an authoritative approach and you completely mismanaged.
I don't have any concerns going back into the boardroom.
I do still stick by the bangers and mash,
because everybody that tried the sausage enjoyed it, liked it,
and we converted into sales.
PHONE RINGS
Yes, would you send the candidates in, please?
Right.
Erm, you spent a lot of time skinning potatoes yesterday.
Now it's your own skin that you want to be saving.
You chose the most expensive dish to make.
That was the first thing.
Yes, Lord Sugar.
I did choose the most expensive dish
on the consensus that it's a UK favourite
and we could get more money for the dish.
Well, yeah, but you didn't sell that many, anyway.
You decided that you were going to try and make 100 covers
or so, right?
That was decided, yes.
And you decided you're going to have two sausages
at least per person. Per person.
So that means you needed 200 sausages. That's right. Right.
But how did we get to a situation
where we spent £87.50 more, too much?
So the calculation was done by Anisa
and then changed by Chisola for the additional count.
Where did you get the 525 from?
It was 50 portions rather than 50 sausages.
An additional 50 portions.
Hmm.
So, anyway, that cost you,
because it put your price up per portion to £6.36.
On top of the fact that the actual bangers and mash,
as opposed to potato skins, was an expensive risk,
because potato skins, you fill them up with bacon bits
and all the other bits and pieces, and they're quite cheap.
That was the point that we all raised in the morning brief
was that they were much easier to sell in the market.
But it was too late, wasn't it,
because she'd made her mind up?
Yep. It was her way or no way, is that right? Correct.
I'm not a food expert,
Nadia put herself as project manager because she is,
so we have to put our trust in our project manager.
You then chose the most expensive sausage, didn't you?
Yes, I went down the beef Angus route
because I wanted to get the maximum cost that I could,
and I thought it was more of a premium sausage to sell.
And me and Chisola, we did say we wanted the vegetarian one.
It was cheaper and it did taste like meat as well.
And just to confirm, if we had gone down the vegetarian option,
we'd still be in a loss anyway, because it was the quantity
of sausages ordered.
Well, they were 3.50 each.
The vegetarian ones were £1.50. Exactly.
So if you did £2 times by the 250, that's £500.
That's down to the beef sausages.
But we didn't sell 120 portions.
We're talking about costs here.
Yeah, but we didn't sell 120 portions. We're talking about cost.
Yes, but your costs would have been reduced by 500 quid.
Hmm, so £100. Which would've...
Hmm, which could have made you the winner.
Your total cost of ingredients was £635 and theirs was 183.
I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out,
you went for the wrong thing.
Now, just moving on to the corporate team,
it's not hard to peel potatoes as opposed to dicing tomatoes. Mm-hm.
What went wrong there?
We kept, especially myself, kept fundamentally saying
we need to be at that 55 to 65, and the response was...
Well, who was cutting them?
Were any of this lot cutting? Correct.
They were. Nadia was cutting at one point. I cut some.
Did they know the brief of what size they needed?
I kept drilling it in and I was told
to almost be quiet about telling it that much.
Who told you to be quiet? Nadia did.
It's impossible to physically cut 700 potatoes at 55g per quarter.
Correct, but we... Like, what planet are you on?
Four weeks, it would take you. We did...
When I was cutting them, I made sure that they were the right shapes.
But you were cutting tiny shapes because when they came out,
I purposely said, "One of these trays we can't give them,"
because it was tiny. There was multiple...
It was like a potato wedge.
I didn't cut that.
OK. I mean, at the end of the day, what happened with the price?
So, the price dropped from the agreed rate of £4 to £3.
And when you got there, why did you drop on unit price?
What, they just said to you, "I don't fancy this,"
or you just dropped on unit price?
What, you've got no negotiation skills? Because the quality of...
The quality of the potato wasn't right.
What do you mean, the quality of the potato?
The shape. At the end of the day...
Because you told us all to take educated guesses.
So, what, that's a pound per kg less?
You told us to take educated guesses.
So you don't challenge back?
So when you challenge, you just drop a pound?
Is that what you do? We didn't drop a pound.
They dropped it to £2.80 and we negotiated back up.
But you agreed £3. You dropped a pound... Correct.
..off the unit price. Correct.
OK.
Erm, Jana, you say that you're a king of negotiation.
Mm-hm.
Well, your corporate sale started at £8 or £9,
which kind of upset the operator.
Yeah. And you ended up with four quid.
Yeah, so with that... Was that good negotiation, then?
No, it wasn't a great negotiation at all.
They didn't give us much to gauge on.
Hmm.
OK. Nadia, pick two people
who you wish to bring back into this boardroom.
So I would like to choose Keir
and the second person I'd like to bring is Jana.
A bit of a one-trick pony.
You say you're the king of negotiation.
That's all... That's all you do.
Could you explain why? What happened?
I know we're going to get into it...
You can't be versatile with skill set.
Let's wait till we have time to talk about... Wrong decision.
OK, well, sorry. It's my decision.
And from a business perspective,
I would like to ask you to come back.
But we sold more than the other team and we sold the majority
of the money. And I would also like Jana to come back.
How could we be the fault of the task when we made a profit?
Anyway, that's what you've decided.
You three go back to the house and you go back to the house also.
Thank you, Lord Sugar.
OK, look, I'm going to have a chat now with Karren and Tim.
Step outside.
I'll bring you back in shortly.
One of you is leaving today.
OK? Thank you, Lord Sugar. Thank you, Lord Sugar.
Look, I mean, having listened,
it's very clear - she was the only one
who wanted to do bangers and mash.
The rest of the team didn't want it at all.
She spent the money on the very expensive sausages, so...
No, you can't blame anybody else.
I mean, she overspent on ingredients and she picked the wrong dish.
I mean, it was a catalogue of errors.
It was her way or the highway.
The reality is that she made the decision.
She took accountability for it.
Therefore, it was her responsibility.
Yeah, she didn't want to listen,
so I don't think I've got anywhere else to go, really, on this.
So I know what I'm going to do.
PHONE RINGS
Could you call the three of them in, please?
Nadia... Mm-hm.
..we can't find any other reason for the failure of this task
other than your decision that you made for bangers and mash.
It's as simple as that.
The amount of money paid for sausages, 500-odd pounds,
really killed this task.
So, Nadia, you've left me nowhere to go, unfortunately.
You're fired.
Thank you, Lord Sugar, Tim, Baroness Brady.
Never so clear than who was culpable for the failure
of the task.
However, Jana...
Yeah.
You know, I've got kind of a gut feeling.
You know, you have been very, very quiet in the last four weeks.
I haven't seen much from you.
You know what? The next task...
..you are going to be the project manager,
like it or not.
OK. OK? Mm-hm.
All right. The pair of you, off you go.
Thank you, all three of you.
Lord Sugar has missed out
on an absolutely massive opportunity with me.
There's no reason why I should have been fired.
I think it's really unfair.
I think it would be harsh for either Keir or Jana to go
on this particular occasion.
I think Nadia's got in a very difficult position.
Although, that being said, Nadia is the sort of person that
doesn't give up without a fight.
I don't think she's got a fighting chance, to be honest.
I'm back!
CHEERING
How are you doing?
So has it been a double firing?
CHEERING
Hey, what's...? What happened?
Come on, tell us.
All I can say,
easiest boardroom ever.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
So he was like, "OK, next task, you're PM."
ALL: Oh!
Now, 14 candidates remain.
Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner continues.
Next time...
I want you to create a new chocolate Easter egg.
..lift-off...
Popping candy from Planet Pluto.
..turbulence...
Do we think that that screams luxury
and it doesn't just scream Shrek?
..and in the boardroom...
It's pathetic.
..a crash landing.
I'm sorry that you wish to resign. Off you go.
