It's the ultimate business battle.
Heading for London, Britain's entrepreneurial elite,
all hungry for the win.
I'm a barber. Currently, my business is turning over more than
a quarter of a million.
With Lord Sugar's investment, we'll take over the whole world.
Yes, I am 21,
but I've got the brains, the grit, and the determination.
Watch me turn that into domination.
I made my first million by 25. My first car was a Tesla.
I've just recently upgraded to a Porsche.
I guess if you've got it, you've got it, haven't you?
On offer - a quarter-million-pound investment.
People underestimate me all the time.
I sound like a baby. I have a baby face.
But I will make it so big
that nobody will ever look down on me again.
I'm a fiery, sassy, chilli-pepper pocket-rocket.
I've got the brains to match the beauty,
and the other candidates better be worried.
I'm the best estate agent in London. I'm suited and booted,
I'm a bit sexy, and I always get the deal done.
Keen to kick start companies...
..a pack of potential partners.
Who says that business has to be mean?
Why can't it be sunshine and rainbows?
I'm going to sprinkle my magic all over the boardroom.
The cash is on the table.
The boss is in the boardroom.
Let me tell you this right now -
the next 12 weeks will be the toughest of your life.
With a billion-pound empire behind him,
Lord Sugar is always hunting for the next big thing.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Run! Come on! Go, go, go, go!
But to secure his support, a punishing selection process...
I was talking then! You're doing it again!
Woo!
..testing tasks...
Oh, my... The best! The tastiest!
Eugh! Action!
..12 tough weeks...
Oh!
CLUCKS LIKE A CHICKEN
Come on. Your life depends on it!
..one life-changing opportunity.
This is a bloody disaster.
Jumped straight in like a silly fool.
What a bloody product that is.
A complete and utter joke.
It's down to business with The Apprentice.
You're fired. You're fired.
You completely messed it up.
You're fired.
11.00 am.
The boardroom.
PHONE RINGS
Could you send all of the candidates in, please?
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to my boardroom.
Now, it's a special occasion, this.
It's the 20th year since our own Mr Campbell here
was the first winner of The Apprentice.
He never made me any money, but...
LAUGHTER
Now, a lot has changed in the past 20 years.
I mean, there's been financial crashes and pandemics,
not to mention Liz Truss.
But there's been two constant positives.
One is this process and the other
is that Arsenal never won the league.
Now, 20 years ago, there was a statement that I made.
I don't like liars, I don't like cheats,
I don't like bullshitters,
and I don't like schmoozers.
Still remains the same.
Other than that, I'm quite a nice bloke, right?
Now, just because we've been doing this for a while,
it doesn't mean you know what's coming next.
Let me tell you, you don't.
LINE RINGS
Yes, Lord Sugar?
Yeah. You've got, I think, two other people waiting out there.
That is correct. Good. Bring them in. Thank you.
So 20 of you now, right?
Little extra competition.
Just got tougher. Yeah.
But, eventually, after 12 weeks,
one of you is going to get a £250,000 investment,
AND my 60 years of business experience.
And I have done everything.
I've sat on a production line,
I've packed boxes,
I've delivered out of my van,
I've negotiated with banks,
and that is something that money can't buy.
Right, well, I'm going to look at your CVs now.
Levi, where are you?
That's me, Lord Sugar. There you are.
Now, your business at the moment is bespoke pet cremation urns,
is that right? That's correct, Lord Sugar.
Yeah. Pet in a Pot. That's the one.
One of your claims to fame,
you were a bodyguard for Boris Johnson, is that right?
Yeah. When I were in the...
What were you doing? Protecting him from his wives?
LAUGHTER
When I were in the Armed Forces, I got hand-picked.
So you've been in the Army then?
That's correct, Lord Sugar. Did seven years. Good, good.
Now. Georgina. Hello!
Hello, Georgina. So I'm currently an events manager,
but I trained in musical theatre, so I'm a quadruple threat.
So I sing, dance, act, and I do business.
And I would love for you and I to open up a production company
specialising in pantomime.
"Why can't it be sunshine and rainbows?"
Well, it can be if your business deals in solar energy, I suppose.
Yeah. Good. All right. Priyesh? Hello, Lord Sugar.
You are an accounts manager at Pricewaterhouse, is that right?
Yeah, correct.
And I also have my own cocktail bar business. Cocktails?
Yeah. And you're an accounts manager?
Yeah, exactly. So a creative and financial.
What's one of your...?
One of your drinks is Tax on the Beach or something?
Now, then, Daniel or Dan?
Dan's great, thanks, Lord Sugar. What is your business?
Yeah, so I set the company up when I was 17,
didn't really want to go to uni,
and I felt there was a big gap in the market
to help students find apprenticeships.
"Once you make your first million,
"which is what I did at 25,
"it becomes easier to make your next."
You've made a million, have you?
I've turned over a million, yeah.
Turned over a million. Oh, right.
You do know that turnover is slightly different
to actually making the money?
Yeah, I see.
Andrea. Hello, Lord Sugar.
Now, you're a letting agent, is that right?
That's right. It's my own company.
I manage 250 properties across the South Yorkshire region.
Oh, really? And then, this is an unusual thing,
you've got a degree in midwifery, is that right?
Yeah, I'm a registered midwife,
and I delivered my grandson six weeks ago.
CONTESTANTS: Aw! Really? Oh. Very nice.
Let's hope you deliver on these tasks then, shall we?
Yeah. OK. Right.
Enough chit-chat. It's time to get down to business.
I'm kicking things off by sending you
to one of the world's most vibrant trading hubs, Hong Kong.
THEY GASP
Are you joking? Hong Kong? Oh, my goodness! What?!
Now, Hong Kong, I've been there at least 40 times.
My business was started from Hong Kong.
And so, for this task, you have to go and find nine items.
Now, I'm keeping things simple.
The teams will be boys versus girls.
The team that spends the least amount of money
to secure the nine items wins.
And on the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
So good luck to you all,
and I'll see you in a few days' time.
Off you go. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Hong Kong.
Starting point for both teams, Kowloon on the mainland.
Before them, a city scattered over more than 200 islands...
..where modern finance meets ancient tradition.
How's everyone feeling? Good. Excited. Excited.
First thing to pin down...
So who wants to put themselves forward for project manager?
I'll put myself forward. So we've got Kieran.
..a project manager.
I'm an estate agent. So, you know,
I deal with people buying all the time.
So I deal with a lot of international investors
on a weekly basis,
so I just feel like I'm probably best suited.
I don't mind putting myself up there.
I don't have much experience in selling.
I can read a map.
I'm confident. I know what I'm doing. Let's get it done.
Everyone put your hands up for Kieran as PM?
Yeah.
OK. Brilliant. Nice.
There's huge pressure.
If we fail, I feel like it's all on me,
and I could be going home on the first week,
which wasn't the plan. Right?
But they've got the best man for the job.
We're going to get the win.
Upstairs...
Do you know what? I would actually really love
to put myself forward for project manager,
if anybody agrees with me.
..auditioning for the role of leader...
I feel like I've got the skills to keep everybody motivated,
on task, feeling positive.
..trained actress Georgie.
So, yeah, if everybody feels confident...
What about your geography skills?
The main thing that we need to do today is work together,
cos none of us are in competition right now.
But I don't know my way around. No.
Does anyone else want to put themselves forward?
I want to put myself forward also. I'm in sales,
I'm good at negotiating, so I think I can lead this team to a win.
Fantastic. Cool. All in favour of Nikki, put your hand up.
So I guess that's settled. Georgie, you can be sub team leader.
I would love to. Amazing.
Let's get into it.
I am sub team leader today.
I'm delighted to be in charge of a group of people,
and I'm just grateful that I've been given that trust
and that commitment from the group at this stage.
Both teams have maps,
local directories, and a list of nine items...
"Shrimp paste, spec, 10 x 300g brick."
We'll get that... That's happening at the fish market at Leung Island.
..including a mahjong set, hand-painted...
It's, like, tiny little blocks.
Like dominoes? Yes, it looks just like dominoes. Yeah.
..and baby corn, specification - 4 catty, picked today.
Baby corn is agriculture in the north of the mainland.
If you want it picked today, that's where the farms are.
Next, we have Chinese calligraphy brush.
It's for Chinese writing,
it's calligraphy, the art of Chinese writing.
"Dragon boat head." Guys, I know exactly what this is.
I've done dragon boat racing before.
They're made out of wood.
They basically stick on the very front of the boat.
Next, a golden pineapple, spec - paper.
You know, you've got a lot of, like, Chinese lanterns
and stuff made out of paper. Maybe something along the lines... Yeah.
Yeah, I'm feeling quite confident.
I think the only one that we really don't know
is that erhu. Apart from that, we've got quite a good idea.
Golden pineapple. Golden pineapple.
That could be anywhere. Where we get the ding ding, I reckon.
Do we know what a ding ding illustration actually is?
Erm, no.
The next item is erhu. E-R-H—U.
With that one, let's just ask the locals.
We will find out. Yeah.
Next on the list - teacake...
That is labelled 2005. OK.
..a traditional way of packaging tea leaves.
Any idea? Are we thinking it's food? We have no idea.
We're just going to have to ask.
Yeah. OK.
We've got the New Territories at the top there, so agriculture.
The baby corn could be started off there. Absolutely.
List locked down, the boys lay out their plan.
I was thinking someone starts at the top,
someone starts at the bottom, we can then meet in the middle.
I think we're going too specific into Hong Kong.
Guys, let's see what else is in these areas.
I was still... I was still speaking.
But, erm, I think if we focus on just Hong Kong Island.
OK. To confirm, please. Areas.
We're currently in Kowloon.
What I would suggest is go now to Northern Territories,
to a farm somewhere, do our picking, and then head back to Kowloon.
The other team takes Hong Kong Island
and then make their way over to Lantau.
Agreed. Yeah. Yeah? Does that sound like a plan?
Can I just clarify as well?
No-one go below 30% off the market price as your first offer.
Also get creative. Get creative.
No, that's not what I said.
Oh, no, I'm saying "also".
Oh, sorry. Also get creative.
I think Kieran has very strong opinions and thoughts,
but sometimes they lack a bit of substance,
and I think I was just there to fill in the blanks
to guide him to his vision.
Levi has been in Asia negotiating before with his company,
so I feel like he would be a good sub team leader.
I'll give it a whirl, yeah. That's it, that's it. Good man.
I've got three team members with me so far.
I've got Andrea, Roxy, and Carrington.
Next for project manager Nikki...
Vanessa and...
..decide who goes where.
Is it an equal split of people? Sorry.
Oh, cos I didn't count myself!
That's fine. I just think this is getting really messy.
Let's just stick down the middle. OK?
You guys on this side go to Stanley.
We on this side go to Central.
That's making it really, really, really simple.
Nikki, do you think we should start splitting the items?
So shrimp paste... We've got the paste and the corn, then, yeah?
No, we'll take the baby corn. You're taking the corn?
Yeah. We'll take the baby corn.
We've got the paste. We've got the shrimp paste.
The first location for baby corn...
If we're going to Aberdeen, why don't we get the corn as well?
Yeah, it's better for food items...
There's no point two teams going to the same place.
It's just that the Central have dried produce.
So should we take the shrimp paste rather than...?
I think we should just swap.
I think you guys should go to Central.
So we'll do Stanley. You guys do Central.
We've completely swapped? Yeah. Right.
There seems to be an awful lot of confusion amongst this team already.
There's no real consideration being given to
all the variety of information that Lord Sugar has provided for them.
They had maps, they had brochures,
but they haven't considered any of that.
They're just going on gut feel and hoping for the best.
That's not a strategy.
So, lads, in terms of travel,
those going to Hong Kong Island, will be taking the ferry,
then you take the tram most of the way.
And where are we meeting? The Big Buddha?
Be on time. I do not like people who are late.
I think we should start making way to the Lantau Island at 4.00.
OK, yeah.
I think we've got this in the bag, ladies.
Yeah, yeah. Let's go.
10.30 am.
We're getting the Star Ferry. We're going to go to the port.
Please, driver, to the port, sir.
Teams have eight hours to find their items...
We are beautiful, powerful, passionate women.
We have got this. We're going to smash it.
Carrington, you're on maps and you're happy with that?
Yep, that's fine. Yep?
..and buy them for the best possible price.
I'm really struggling to even find where we are on this map
to where we need to be, Nikki.
Juggling the geography...
It's so difficult because no-one knows where we are.
I'm going to keep an eye out and see.
..Nikki's girls.
Oh, look. Aberdeen, it says Aberdeen straight ahead. Aberdeen.
And that's... The shrimp paste is in Aberdeen.
Yeah. Should we get out at Aberdeen, then?
Are you all right for me to...? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Could we go to Aberdeen, please? OK.
I can't even find Aberdeen on the map.
Can anyone see where...? No. Can anyone find Aberdeen on the map?
No.
Let's see if we can get to some farms
in the New Territories towards the north.
If we're going all the way up to the top of New Territories,
like, it could be pretty far.
While Levi's lads change
course on corn...
I think chin off going off to New Territories,
go to Kowloon. It's got markets and that there. Exactly.
Fresh off the ferry, in search of Stanley...
OK, so should we find an information centre here?
How about a bus terminus?
Oh, guys.
..the rest of the boys.
Hi. We are trying to find the best way to get to Stanley.
In our Big Bus Tours, we have a route in Stanley.
How long does it take?
The tour is around two hours. OK. Wow. Is there a quicker way?
Maybe tram? Where's the tram? Is there a tram that we could take?
Well, there's no tram to go there.
Really?
Yes. Stanley is the south side of Hong Kong Island.
Yeah.
I put the fail so far down to Marcus.
It was his idea to get the ferry here and get a tram.
We're here, there is a tram, but not to where we need to go.
So it's a complete waste of our time.
We're then going to get in the car, we're going to go to Stanley.
If anyone's got any objections, please shout now.
We're going to Stanley. Let's go. Thank you. Have a nice day.
Let's go. Let's go, let's go! Go to the market. We'll get to the market,
then we can ask questions. Market!
Charting a course to their first item...
I feel like this is a great place to start.
Do you have a tape measure? Yes. In the bag.
..Georgie's half of the girls head to a party supply store.
Hello. May I help you?
Could you tell me where you've seen a dragon boat head?
On their wish list - a wooden carving found on the front of boats.
Dragon? Uh-huh. You want dragon boat, Chinese dragon boat?
Yes. Yes. Yes. It's coming. Perfect.
Ooh!
Yes. Please be a metre.
Can I have someone that's good at maths over here, please?
It needs to be... Oh. If we take the stick out,
I don't believe this is the right thing. Yeah.
Because I think it's actually a metre of the head itself.
Yeah. So I'm really sorry.
Ah. We won't be able to take this. You...?
You don't need this one? No. No.
We need just the head. Sorry. It's not what we're looking for.
Just head, one metre. Yeah. Oh, you want stick?
Yeah. Yeah. One full head, one metre? Yes. Yes. A very big one.
Yes. So sorry.
Guys, we need to be uber-specific when we ask about things.
Yeah. Please, let's move on. On to the next item. Yeah.
OK. Let's go to that market. Such a waste of time.
On the other half of the team...
OK, let's just look out for signs. Yeah.
Try and locate where we are.
..sniffing out shrimp paste...
I think we just need to get out, ask.
Yes. We need to ask, we need to figure it out,
and then we can make a plan.
Driver, can you stop when it's safe to do so?
..project manager Nikki.
Let's just ask someone, anyone, how far is Aberdeen?
Hello.
Hi. Excuse me. Do you speak English?
No? No. OK. Anyone on the road? Anyone on the road?
Should we just ask...? Hiya. Do you speak English?
No? No? Hi. Do you speak English? What about down here? Megan.
Oh. There's a security guard. There's a security man.
Should we just go...? Yeah. Sorry. Do you speak English?
Do you speak English? No. Excuse me. Sorry.
Guys, should we go down to the shops?
Do you speak English? Because asking around isn't...
Do you speak English? No?
Honestly, I don't think any of us are good with geography.
No-one seems to know much about where they are,
where they're going, and how to read a map,
which is crucial in this task.
We need to be able to know where we are.
Can I just say, let's head back to the car,
let's just regroup, and let's figure out next steps there?
Are you all right with that? Yeah. Yeah? OK, cool.
Lunchtime.
Oh, look, there's an arts and crafts shop here.
Right there. Great spot.
Hunting down their first item...
Do you have a Chinese calligraphy brush?
Yes, we have one. With a 20 centimetre brush.
..Levi's half of the boys.
Do we have the tape measure? Yeah, we've got the tape measure.
Yeah, let's make sure that's the right size.
No.
Hopes of the brush rubbed out,
next on the list...
A golden pineapple.
Golden pineapple. Pineapple.
..a traditional sculpture burned at religious festivals.
Erm, is it like this? OK.
There's no pineapple on that.
Does that mean...? Does it mean the colour?
So which is the...? It says spec paper. This one?
Spec... OK, this is golden pineapple paper. Yeah.
OK. We can take this downstairs. This OK? Yeah. OK.
That's so weird that's golden pineapple.
We all assumed origami.
This is 45 Hong Kong dollars. Yes.
What is the best price you can maybe do?
Um, 43 OK?
43? Yeah. 35 dollars? No.
I'll buy you a present next time. I'm sorry.
OK. 38. And then we can have a deal.
OK. 38. 48... 38. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. OK.
The really good thing for Tan is he did a great negotiation,
but the bad news is he bought the wrong product.
She told him it was golden pineapple paper.
Well, it might be,
but it's certainly not the golden pineapple he should be looking for.
Great work, Tan. I think, you know,
you couldn't knock anything more off that, I think.
And we've got our first product, lads.
Yeah, we got one ticked off. Yeah.
Do you have a mahjong set? Hand-painted.
While Nikki's team finally lock down a lead...
How far are you from Aberdeen?
OK.
..at Central District Food Market...
We're looking for fresh baby corn. Four catties.
..still on the hunt for their first item...
Guys, guys, I think the other team are ringing.
..Georgie's half of the girls.
Hello?
How are you getting on?
So we're just about to pick up the baby corn.
We haven't picked it up. Please don't give her false hope.
We haven't picked it up yet. We haven't got anything yet.
No, but we're about to. We're looking in the market.
Have you found anything yet, my love?
Not yet. Not yet. Don't worry. We're all in the same boat.
Oh, God. It's been a really difficult day,
but we're going to pull this back. Oh, gosh. Whereabouts are you?
Central. Central.
So we found the mahjong is near you guys.
It's called Glocal Mahjong. We've phoned ahead.
Brilliant. OK. So what we're going to do now,
we're going to try for baby corn,
then we're going to go to this toy shop.
Speak to you soon. Bye. Bye.
I can't believe that we both don't have anything yet.
Do you know what? We're all in the same boat,
so all we've got to do is really try and pull together now. Let's go.
Let's do this.
1.30 pm.
So we're looking to find dragon boat heads
over a metre.
En route to the coast...
Do you think it might be a good chance in Stanley,
because they do the racing there?
..Kieran's boys fish for answers.
Do you know where we can get, like, an erhu?
What is it exactly?
It's a string instrument with two strings.
Yay!
Six miles away in Aberdeen...
I've just seen that there's a place where they teach English.
Do you want to ask them where we can get the shrimp paste? Yeah.
..still in search of shrimp paste...
OK. Are we ready? Ready. Let's go.
OK. Let's go.
..property expert Andrea seeks out Grade A intel.
Hello. Hello.
So we're actually looking for some shrimp paste.
Do you know of any markets
that we could get some shrimp paste from?
Yeah, there's wet markets. OK. OK.
If you walk outside there along the harbour...
Yeah. ..there is a small boat. OK.
Which will take you, like, a two-minute ride
to the opposite side, and then there's a public market there. OK.
There's a place that you're able to buy the shrimp paste.
That's absolutely fantastic. Thank you. Take care. Bye.
That was really helpful, guys. So successful. That's amazing.
She said two minutes on the boat. Yeah. Let's go. Woo!
For the rest of the girls in Central...
It needs to be freshly picked today. Yeah.
If not, we cannot buy.
OK. Let's go, let's go. Please. Thank you! Bye-bye.
..corn canned, a new plan.
We've had absolutely no luck getting corn. Baby corn.
I think it's best that we actually get the game.
Yeah, absolutely. We need to be as quick as we can. Let's go.
Finally washing up on the coast...
Come on, Stanley. Where the magic happens, boys.
Let's make this happen. We are getting everything here.
..for Kieran's team...
Go on, lads, go on.
..a chance to check in.
Who's speaking?
I'll lead.
Kieran, mate, how are we getting on?
We're yet to find an item,
but we've just found out what the erhu is.
Oh, yes. Write it down. Write it down, someone.
It's a two-string instrument. Perfect.
We're going to hand that over to you, because I think it's unlikely
that we're going to find it here.
We're going to focus on the shrimp paste and the dragon's head.
How are you doing on your other items?
We've only found the golden pineapple paper.
Guys, let's keep the head up. Let's keep going.
We're going to go to the beach, and we'll see you shortly, OK?
Good work, lads. Good luck. See you soon.
But I'm quite happy with that because we've got something.
They've got no items. Yeah. They've got no items.
But at least we know what an erhu is.
And see how Conor just took over the phone.
I bet Conor was like, "Give me the phone.
"Let me chat." He's dying to be PM.
Back in Aberdeen...
Come on, ladies. Let's go!
..searching for a water taxi to reach the wet market...
She said we need to take a boat.
Yeah, straight up, straight up.
..Nikki's girls are all at sea.
Is it? Small boat. Is it a boat?
Straight through there.
DOG BARKS
Guys, I don't know. Keep going. Oh, God.
Oh, God. There are guard dogs everywhere.
Guys, where the hell are we going?
I don't know. Guys, I'm scared.
I don't deal well with dogs. I don't either.
We think it's the right place.
DOGS BARK
Right. Get out, guys. OK. Oh! We have to go back now.
It says no entry. So we need to go back.
It's really stressful at the moment that we've got no items
and time is really ticking on.
It's going to take us a long time to get to
the meeting point as well,
and it's just really stressful at the moment.
We've just wasted so much time on this shrimp.
It was a complete waste of time.
Can we ask this guy? No, don't even bother.
In Stanley...
So my tactics here, guys,
I want to find out how much he would usually sell them for
and kind of work it down from there.
..aiming to net a dragon boat head...
How are you? Yes, good. Yes. Very good. Yes. Good.
..salesman Rajan turns on the charm.
How much would you normally sell one of these for?
About 4,000, something like that. 4,000? Wow.
Yeah, yeah. You have a very beautiful store here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What would be the best price you could do on this?
3,000, something like that. 3,000. 3,000.
Are they handmade by yourself?
Yeah. They all look very, very good quality.
Oh, wow. They're lovely. Nice.
What would be the best price you'd be able to do this for us?
Um...2,500.
In my pocket right now,
this is all I have. This is 2,300.
Can we make a deal?
Uh... For me. I think it's OK.
That's OK, that's OK. That's kind of you. Thank you very much. Amazing.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
I think we done really, really well with the negotiation.
I mean, it all depends on the chemistry
you build with the individual,
the kind of relationship,
the smooth talking.
Is this one metre?
A little bit more. It's more than a metre.
Oh, that's perfect, that's fine.
So, yeah, it worked out pretty well.
Good job, guys. One down, a few more to go.
We wasted so much time on this shrimp paste.
What time is it now?
2.30.
After four hours searching for shrimp paste...
We've got to leave at 4.00, so we've got an hour and a half,
but a half-hour it's going to take us to get to Stanley from here.
..Nikki's girls wash up at the wet market.
Are we here?
STALL OWNER: Hi. Excuse me.
It's closed already. Closed?
Yeah. Already closed now.
Is there any way that we can get shrimp at all from you today?
Shrimp paste? Shrimp paste?
I don't think so. There is no chance? We're really desperate.
No. I'm so sorry. Is there anywhere else? I'm sorry.
Do you know anywhere else that will sell shrimp paste?
At this time? I think we need to give it up. I don't know.
No? OK. No. ALL: Thank you.
OK, guys, let's just re-strategise really quickly. Yeah.
Let's head to Stanley. Too much time. Straight away. Quick, yeah.
I'm absolutely gutted we didn't get the fish paste.
Gutted.
I think there's no clear direction
and that's where we're going wrong.
So we're heading to Stanley without a shop.
We don't know where we're going in Stanley.
Guys, it is 3.35. We need to leave at 4.00.
I hope we're going the right way.
I hope so too.
In Central...
I haven't ran like this ever.
..hunting for the handed over Mahjong set...
I hope that's the right way
or I'm going to actually cry real human tears.
..for Georgie's girls...
Look, look, look, look.
Cochrane here, Lyndhurst, Aberdeen. Right.
..a puzzle.
What's the shop supposed to be called? What's it called?!
It's called Glocal Mahjong!
It's 405, PMQ. 405?
That's number 5, so maybe we're at the wrong bloody end.
Look how far up the street is.
SHE GROANS
Can you see? That's 21?
That's 5, that's 21.
Are we going up or down? 405. Roxy, what number's up there?
14A.
Well, what side is... We're all on the left side. That's 11.
Can you see...? We're not checking this side.
14 is this side. I don't see it.
That's 11. Guys... 14, 21.
Call the shop, call the shop and ask them what is near.
What's nearby? Then we can start gauging.
Please, let's just call the shop. Oh, my God. This is crazy.
THEY GROAN
It's absolutely chaotic right now.
You know, we're running about the whole of Hong Kong,
and it's just crazy.
And I feel like Georgie hasn't been able
to give us much direction with where we're supposed to be going.
Just be quick about it.
GEORGINA: Hey, we're outside Wanderlust currently
on Aberdeen Street, and we're just trying to find you.
Are we going up the hill, my darling, or down?
SHOPKEEPER ON PHONE:
Up the hill?
Yeah.
Fourth floor?
OK, yeah. 44?
Right. Thank you so much.
44? OK, thank you.
Bye. See you in a minute.
44. Let's go.
PANTING, GROANING
In Stanley...
We are after a teacake.
Have you got any in store?
..while Kieran's boys get a second item brewing.
SHOPKEEPER ON PHONE: Yes. OK. That's great.
We're going to come to your store very soon.
Hoping to end on a high note... SHOP BELL TINKLES
We travelled all the way from the city to come to get this.
Look at me. All sweaty and stuff. Oh!
..the rest of his team.
We're after the erhu.
Yes. Oh, do you have it in here?
Yes. Chinese musical instruments.
We're after, to be fair, just a standard one.
Whichever one is the cheapest one, to be honest.
The cheaper one only is 630.
Yes. Oh, slightly out of our price range. Yes.
We were looking around the, you know, the 300 mark.
You have something like that you could do for us?
Sorry, we only offer $500.
The last price.
OK. Last, last, last price, 475.
Hmm. Pretty please?
OK.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
KARREN VOICEOVER: They've only got two hours to go
and they're an hour away from the end point.
And they've just bought their second item,
which happens to be the first correct item.
They've still got two more to go,
and they're really running out of time.
OK, I think we need to just pack it up and that's...
Yeah. That's good. Thank you. Really good. Thank you.
You can come with us to London now.
He was just tuning it. Yeah, he's tuning it.
Ah, perfect. Thank you. ALL: Thank you.
Yes. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Right, let's... Have you got the money?
Gosh. Oh, my God.
EXHAUSTED LAUGHTER
4.00 pm.
Oh, my days. OK, let's go, go, go!
We're going. Hold on.
For Georgie's girls...
Are we going the wrong way?
Right way, right way. OK. Almost there.
We're nearly there, team.
..an uphill struggle.
41-49.
Didn't she say on the phone 44?
She said 44, yeah.
The same numbers are appearing on the same road.
We've not gone up to 44.
We've seen 21 twice. Yeah, sorry.
It's not making sense. It's OK.
I'm going to ask her to come out and find us.
Is it OK, though? Just say we're opposite the King Ho building.
SIGHING
We need this. It's not OK.
SHOPKEEPER ON PHONE: Hello? GEORGINA: Hello.
You're not going to believe this. It's me again.
Oh! Hello. Um, right, so, we're now outside of the King Ho building,
which is 41-49.
What is the number of your building, sorry?
Is it 44 or...?
SHOPKEEPER ON PHONE:
OK. All right, then. We'll find you.
We'll find you. Thank you so much, my darling.
But the door numbers are going that way.
I think we should go back down, then. So let's head that way,
and we're going to push for a really sexy price with this one.
Yeah. We're not pushing for a price when it's not her fault
we can't find the building. Yeah, I know. It's not her fault.
We're going to push anyway. The building hasn't moved.
We're pushing because we're doing a task...
On the other half of the team...
Hiya. Do you have a dragon boat in stock?
Head. A dragon boat head?
SHOPKEEPER ON PHONE: Yeah, we have.
Dragon boat head located...
So everything that we've got on our items...
It's all in Stanley. It's all there.
So we need to get to these shops.
But first...
Let's go!
..a detour to search for missing items.
So we're looking for a ding-ding.
Yes. Do you have this art commission today?
Er, no. Not today? They're all ready-made.
You don't happen to have any fish paste?
A brick of shrimp paste?
Erm... No.
We're looking for a Chinese calligraphy brush head.
Do you have one of them? I just have these.
Just these?
These ladies are getting more and more desperate
as the day goes on.
We're already near the end of the task, and they've got no items.
They're running around frantically
and there's no rhyme or reason to what they're doing.
Driver, we're looking to go to Stanley Boat Centre.
Yes. Just over there. The big tree over...
How long would it take to walk?
Could you pick us up from there, please?
Yes, OK. Is that OK?
All right, thank you.
Guys, we need to run. We're not going to make it.
Found it! Right, let's go, let's go. OK, OK.
THEY SHRIEK EXCITEDLY
Let's go, let's go!
After an hour-long search...
We finally found you.
Hello. I only had to call you five times.
But we made it.
..all hopes pinned on purchasing a mahjong set...
Let's get down to business.
What is the cheapest hand-painted one
that you could point us in the direction of?
Please? OK, now, I'm... How about this?
You know, I understand you're very smart people.
Yeah. And then how about I give you some challenge,
and then if you do it well,
I give you a 10% discount?
OK. Now, the first one...
OK. Now, um... Oh, my darling...
My brand here is called, um...
QUIETLY: No, we're running out of time.
QUIETLY: Yeah.
..Glocal Mahjong, OK?
So can you come up with a pet line for me?
I've got such a good idea for you. Yes? She is a professional singer.
Yeah? She will sing you the most incredible, bespoke
one in a million tag line.
Really? She's a professional. Yes. She is, absolutely.
Give us a beat. Give us a beat.
OK, so show me.
SHOPKEEPER LAUGHS
We need a bit of a rhyme first.
Hang on. So...
SPEAKS IN TIME: Glocal Mahjong is where...
SPEAKS NORMALLY: I'm going to sing it once I've got an idea.
I've got it, I've got it.
SPEAKING IN TIME: ..is where it's at.
Glocal Mahjong is where it's begun.
OK. Let's go. Are you ready?
And five, six, seven, eight.
ALL: # Glocal Mahjong is where it's begun
THEY FALTER
# ..the media is Glocal Mahjong
And again!
# Glocal Mahjong is where it's begun
# The leader of the media, Glocal Mahjong! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah!
I was so impressed. How was that? OK.
You're very good. OK, now it's 1,300.
OK? How about 700?
Please? Oh, please, come on!
ALL: Come on! Please. 700, please.
# Glocal Mahjong is where it all begun
# Glocal Mahjong is where it all begun! #
OK, OK, OK. 700. OK?
THEY CHEER
Thank you so much.
After running around Hong Kong
for the last God knows how many hours,
to be the only one in my team that has secured some kind of money,
I feel so good.
And that $700 feels like a badge of honour right now.
Thank you. Thank you.
# Glocal Mahjong... #
ALL: # ..is where it begun
# The leader of the media, Glocal Mahjong! #
LAUGHTER
4.30 pm.
What street does it say it's on on that direction...?
It says 1, Stanley. Link Road. 1, Stanley.
Searching for the dragon on foot...
Is it not left? There's a road here.
I don't think that's it.
..Nikki's hopes go up in smoke.
If it's a boat place, don't you think it's going to be more...?
Is the sea down that way? I don't think we're going to get anywhere
on foot. We might as well get in the taxi.
We need to go... We sent him there. Yeah, I know.
Man won't believe it. We just sent him there.
Let's try and find where the taxi is
cos where the taxi is, that's where that'll be.
Well, the taxi driver said it was over the tree,
and we're over the tree, but we're on the wrong side.
So I think... Let's run and go right.
OK. Let's go.
OK, so once we get to the cable cars,
we'll get on the cable cars, then go to the Big Buddha.
One hour till teams must stop shopping.
Yeah, if we do end up late,
Kieran is going to have a go at us because that's what he said.
"The one thing I don't want you guys to be is late."
For being late, or having incorrect or missing items...
Where is the driver?
We don't know.
The driver is at the boathouse, wherever the boathouse is.
..a fine.
All the way down. It's all the way down!
Is that him? No, that's not him.
We've fully lost our driver.
Not there. We've lost our driver.
Hang on. 2006!
Hang on, hang on, hang on. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
2005.
2005, we got it. Fantastic.
Oh, hi. Is this Stanley Boathouse?
ON PHONE:
Yeah? We're looking for you.
OK.
Can I get your tea cake for $420?
OK. Yeah? Yes!
THEY CHEER
We have to get to the Buddha now.
Go, go, go! Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much!
We're on! We're on!
Oh, gosh. Oh, my gosh. Final hurdle.
Five minutes to go.
If you can say 2,250...
Er, OK, OK.
CONTESTANTS CHEER
Finish line, the Big Buddha.
Do you know how long it will take, roughly?
DRIVER:
Wow.
On Lantau Island...
We've got to run this, man. Come on. It's going to be tight,
but we're going to get there. Running shoes.
Run! Come on! Go, go, go!
Go, go, go, go, go!
Come on, lads!
THEY PANT
Go, go, go!
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
That way. That way, boys!
Come on, quick! Go, go, go!
Oh, my God, they are so close. Look at them.
Come on, ladies. Come on, girls.
Come on, girls, we've got this.
Come on, boys.
Oh, gosh!
Oh! Oh, my legs.
Oh, my God. Oh!
PANTING
Almost there.
Almost there. Let's go, let's go!
THEY PANT
Oh, we made it.
Did it on time, boys. Well done, fellas.
Last push!
Go on, girls, well done. Well done.
6.00 pm.
Where are the other team?
The girls are not here. Oh, my gosh, they're not here?
PANTING: You're joking.
Time's up.
Where's our team? Yeah, they must be close.
They were just there. Come on, boys! Go on, boys!
Let's go, guys! Come on, boys!
APPLAUSE
Getting there!
Come on!
Come on, guys.
Oh, my God. Come on, lads!
Come on! Let's go!
CONTESTANT GROANS
God.
Yes!
Welcome home, lads.
CHEERING
I can't believe we beat them. Yeah. Yeah.
Well done.
TEARFULLY: Thank you. Oh, no, don't cry cos you'll make me cry.
Please. Please.
KARREN: Ladies? Yeah?
Would you come over here, please?
We'd like to see you tomorrow at Cloud 39
in the Henderson Building on Hong Kong Island.
Be there at 10.00 sharp, OK?
OK. Yes.
Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Baroness Brady.
What do we think's going to happen tomorrow? Oh, gosh.
That doesn't sound too good.
I can't believe they're not here, girls. Yeah.
Where are they?
8.00 pm.
Baroness Brady's gone home. Tim's gone home. The boys have gone home.
How long are we going to stand here? It's way past the deadline.
Oh, there they are. There they are. Come, ladies!
They'd better be running up those stairs.
Keep going, girls!
Are they just stood there looking at us?!
All of them?!
I just want to know what happened.
Yeah. Me too. Like, what went so, so wrong?
They've got a lot to answer for.
Whew!
What happened, girls? Yeah, what happened?
Honestly, it's just been manic.
What happened with that?
We lost our driver.
You can go through now.
WHISPERS: I can't believe this.
Oh!
Well, you didn't expect me to send you out here
to the greatest negotiating commercial centre in the world
without me being here, did you?
Come on, let's be fair, right?
Let me start with the boys.
Kieran. Yes, Lord Sugar.
I believe that you were the project manager.
I was indeed. Myself and Levi put our names forward.
I suppose, being an estate agent,
part of this task is all about location, location, location.
Right? Yeah?
Anyway, it kicked off at 9.30 in the morning, approximately, right?
From what I've understood from Baroness Brady,
I don't think you bought your first item
till about 3.00 pm, is that right?
Correct. Come on.
What were you doing for six hours?
What the issue was, we got the ferry over to the centre,
and then realised when we got there
that we couldn't actually get to Stanley from there.
Headless chickens. Yeah.
Anyway, Rajan, you got the dragon boat head?
That's correct, Lord Sugar. Yeah. Started off at 4,000 HKD,
and you ended up getting it for 2,300.
That's correct. Is that right? Yeah.
So my initial strategy was to make a bit of small talk with him,
get him a bit more comfortable with me.
Fortunately, that strategy paid off,
and, yeah, I ended up getting 42% off his original asking price.
Now the sub team leader, Levi.
That's me, Lord Sugar. Yeah.
We were looking to go to the New Territories
to get the baby corn,
and then upon looking how far it is,
we chinned that area off and then proceeded to another area,
and that's where we stumbled across the golden pineapple piece of paper.
Yeah. They must have seen you coming.
This mug come from England, right?
I'll show you what you should have got.
ALL: Oh!
That's what you should have got.
That's what I wanted you to go and get. Oh, no!
There's hundreds of them in the street here.
You must've really walked past them 20 times,
and you end up buying a load of bloody paper.
Yeah, that's correct, Lord Sugar.
Chinese Year of the Prat, that's what you might be.
Anyway, so who bought the erhu?
I did. And did you stand around for half an hour afterwards
listening to the bloke playing it?
Because we didn't want to be disrespectful,
so we just thought they was just showing us
the wonderful instruments, so I just thought, erm...
She was like, "Why don't we play it?"
Once you bought it, why didn't you just go?
Waste of time. Complete and utter waste of time.
Anyway, Kieran, you got two items.
Your sub team only got one item out of nine.
You've messed it up.
Completely messed it up.
HE SIGHS
Ladies, this lot have made a mess,
and from what I can understand, so have you.
Nikki, you were the PM, is that right?
Yes, Lord Sugar. I'm a good, strong negotiator,
so I felt like I was the best fit for this task.
Yeah, well, before you get to negotiate with somebody,
you've got to get to a vendor
that is actually selling one of the items that you require.
Yes, Lord Sugar. And you didn't find them.
No, Lord Sugar. You never found the bloody items, did you?
No. No.
I... I don't know what else I can do.
It's just so frustrating.
I gave you maps, brochures, and all that stuff.
According to Tim,
in the brainstorm, you didn't make reference to them at all.
Lord Sugar, I think the main issue here was, in our team,
we were obsessed with finding the shrimp paste,
and I think a lot of time got wasted there, and we got a bit lost.
We went on a bit of a detour, and, again, that wasted some time.
Yeah, and might I add, Lord Sugar... The shrimp...
When you finally got to a place that sold shrimp paste,
it was closed, wasn't it?
It was closed, yeah. It was, unfortunately. It was.
May I speak? Would that be OK?
Yeah, you can speak. Yeah.
So, on the sub team,
we did, at the very beginning, come across this lovely lady,
and she brought out what she thought was this dragon boat head.
But then we realised pretty quickly it wasn't the right product,
and we did have numerous opportunities,
so if we had a bit more time,
that would have been... KARREN: A bit more time?
You had all day! I know. I know.
It was a struggle. Can I add, Lord Sugar,
we found a shop in Central. The shop had mahjong.
We weren't in Central at that time,
but we knew that the sub team were, so we let them know.
Karishma, you bought the mahjong set?
Oh, she was great, I have to say.
So I know that, in this specific market,
they're very used to being aggressively negotiated with.
When people are buying on a regular basis
and they're buying in quantity,
then you want to have a relationship... Get to the point.
You bought one, right? Yeah. She did.
Yeah, I did... Starting price was 1,482 HKD,
and in the end you got it for 700. I did, yeah.
Right, why didn't you just say that, then?
Oh, I wanted to tell you the story. It's a really good story.
It's a good story. Can we tell you?
No, I don't want to hear any more about this,
because this is not a joke. Now... Of course.
But, Lord Sugar, might I just add that, at the start of the day,
Nikki did make a point that we had to be back at the Buddha
and not to be late.
By the time we got back, it was daylight,
and when they reached it, it was dark.
We were very late, but we made an executive decision.
We were guaranteed to get the Dragon's head,
so it was either a fine for being late
or a fine for not getting the item. Well, look...
GEORGINA: I would just like to add,
one thing I think we did well on the sub team
was we all really worked together. Yeah.
I feel like everybody had a fair shot at giving things a try.
But, Georgina, you didn't get any items.
You worked together...! We got the one... Busy fools.
You sound like a bunch of busy fools.
Erm...it's very disheartening for me.
This is the 20th year,
and so much work has gone into the preparation
of sending you all to this commercial metropolis -
best one in the world -
but nevertheless, we're going to read out how much you spent.
It's not so much how much you spent,
but, more likely, how much you got fined.
So, Karren, let's start with the boys.
They managed to get three correct items,
which cost them 3,195 Hong Kong dollars,
and they also spent 38 HKD on the incorrect item,
which was the golden pineapple.
That gave them a total spend of 3,233 HKD, including transport,
but there was, of course, five items they didn't secure,
as well as the incorrect item,
which incurs a fine, and half the team were late.
So that means total fines on them of 4,040 HKD,
which gives them total spend of 7,273.
What a total joke.
A complete and utter joke.
HE SIGHS
Tim, same thing.
Well, the ladies, they only bought two items,
so that gave them a total spend of 3,200 HKD.
But as they didn't buy seven of the items,
and half of the team were almost two hours late,
you imposed fines on them totalling 7,000 HKD,
giving them a total spend of 10,200.
Yes!
What...? What are you celebrating for?
I mean, technically, yes, you've won,
but I wouldn't call this a win,
quite frankly, it's a bloody disgrace.
Honestly, a total disgrace.
SIGHS: Off you go.
ALL: Thank you, Lord Sugar.
As bad as that lot are, ladies, you are worse.
So I need you to go away, talk amongst yourselves,
and we're going to come back in here again,
and I'm going to decide which of you are going to leave the process.
Off you go. Thank you, Lord Sugar.
Thank you. Thank you, Baroness Brady.
Thank you, Tim.
Two items out of nine is unbelievable.
I just don't get it.
I mean... And you gave them maps,
you gave them a directory, you gave them a car,
you gave them a description, a specification.
I mean, I'm not quite sure what more you could have done.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Right, girls, what happened? What went wrong?
It was from the start.
What went wrong happened right from the start.
We needed structure.
We needed to know where we were, where we were going to go.
There was no structure.
No-one was aware of what we were doing.
I don't feel like the failure lands with me.
I think the fault lies with the sub team.
They spent a lot of time running around,
you know, they could have bought more,
and ultimately we could have won this task.
The item that you got,
we phoned, and we managed to get that for you guys.
To be honest, it's not rocket science, to phone someone.
We secured that item that you got.
You called up the store and you made sure that it was there.
We negotiated it, and we... What if we didn't get that product?
Would you have had zero items then? No.
I don't believe that I'm to blame for the failure of this task.
I feel like I kept everybody's morale high,
I kept the positivity going, and there was not a chance
that we were not going to make it to Big Buddha on time.
You guys were so late.
You were two hours late, girls.
It was that or not getting the item.
You said, "Make sure you're there on time,"
and if you, as a team leader, cannot even follow your own rule set...
The failure of this task belongs to the PM.
The structure was not there from the start.
If one thing fails at the start, just forget the whole plan.
The whole thing fails.
PHONE RINGS
Would you send the candidates in, please?
A whole day, a whole working day...
..and each team came in with one item each.
I think where it went wrong is we were lost at the beginning,
and we found ourselves in Aberdeen,
and we knew that the shrimp paste was there.
So because we was already there,
we thought we would get the shrimp paste.
You didn't get that, though. We spent too long there.
Yeah. That was the problem. We spent too long,
we didn't know where we were going.
Can I just say something?
Nobody was reading where we needed to be,
looking at the map, seeing where we needed to go.
Well, I said that right at the very beginning.
We didn't. We... Nobody used it.
Can I also just add, Lord Sugar? At the brief, Nikki said,
whatever happens, just make sure you leave at 4.00
to just make the Buddha temple on time.
So that's what the sub team did.
We were just conscious of time. But you got there two hours later.
Yeah. We were already... What happened...?
You said... What happened to your "leave at 4.00"?
We had lost the driver, so at this point we was already late.
So it was either be late... KARREN: Lost the driver?
Yeah, we... I don't think that was the reason. We got misdirected...
Well, it was already late, so I made the executive decision
to be late with no product or be late with a product.
And that's the situation we were in. We had one product,
we could have gone and definitely got a second product,
but we chose to leave on time.
How late was your lot?
We weren't late at all. We weren't late, we were on time.
We raced up the stairs alongside the boys and we got there on time.
That's why Georgie's decided that we should leave at 4.00,
because that was the rules of the PM.
All the calls that you guys were making all day,
not once did you say, "Get all items and forget about being on time."
You got the item at 6.00.
I think the problem is that we didn't sit
and, like, strategise each step of the way.
It was just a lot of voices... KARREN: Clearly.
..we kind of went running...
Clearly no strategy, you know?
I don't think you could find a sofa in DFS.
Honestly, I mean, it is ridiculous what has gone on here.
Towards the end of the day, I think we got a lot better
with the maps and locations and we knew where we were.
We were warming up, and I know that isn't good enough...
Not good enough is an understatement.
I mean, the point is, is that you only got one item.
I know. It's embarrassing.
Look, I'm going to bring this thing to an end now.
Georgina, I'm going to ask you to bring back two people
from your sub team... Oh.
..and, Nikki, I'm going to ask you
to bring two people back from your team.
Can I just say? This pains me to do this,
as I really don't believe that our team is responsible,
erm, just first and foremost...
Whether it pains you to do it or not... I just wanted you to know.
Yeah. Er, absolutely nothing personal, ladies,
but I would like to bring back...
..Roxanne and Carrington, please.
And I'm really sorry. Roxanne and Carrington.
Right. Georgie, if it wasn't for me,
you wouldn't know how to navigate your way around Hong Kong.
Er, I've got... I'm so sorry. I have a reason, and I'll...
I'm so sorry. And who are you going to bring back?
Lord Sugar, I'm going to bring back Andrea and Rothna.
I don't know why you'd do that.
I literally felt like I was leading half the time,
asking you, "Are you sure you want to go here?
"You want to go there?" But fine. We can speak about it later.
I can tell... I can tell you... Yeah, that's OK.
OK.
The rest of you, you can... You can leave.
Thank you, Lord Sugar. Thank you, Lord Sugar.
Thank you, Baroness Brady. Thanks, girls.
Thank you. Good luck, girls. Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to have a discussion with Baroness Brady and Tim,
and in the meantime, you have to step outside,
and I'll call you back in shortly, OK?
Thank you. All right. Thank you, Lord Sugar.
Thank you, Baroness Brady. Thank you, Tim.
Well, bit unusual - of nine items,
the sub team and the main team, they only got one item each.
So that's why I decided that the project manager
should bring back two people
and the sub team leader should bring back two people.
That's where we are. Watching the candidates on the task,
Roxanne was the one I saw do least
throughout the whole of the endeavour.
From Carrington, as well, she was responsible for the maps,
but several times, the team said that they were lost.
If she was responsible for it, she didn't do a very good job.
Karren? Obviously, I didn't follow the ladies,
but I have to say, Andrea and Rothna have been ever so quiet.
I haven't got a sense of who they are or what they did at all.
And Nikki?
Every member of this team is saying that there wasn't a clear strategy,
and, as project manager,
that is really Nikki's responsibility to set.
I worry for Georgina in this process.
When you asked her to bring back two people,
she started to get very upset.
This is a tough process.
It only gets tougher, and maybe this process isn't for her.
Hmm.
PHONE RINGS
Yes, Lord Sugar?
Could you send the candidates in, please?
Nikki, why are you bringing these two people back?
So, Lord Sugar, I brought back Rothna
because she saw the teacher in Aberdeen.
She mentioned to get out of the car and ask her,
so we wasted a lot of time speaking to this lady.
It was up to you as project manager
whether you wanted to get out of the car and ask them.
You decided to do that.
We didn't even sit to strategise, Lord Sugar.
Even after the English centre,
we were running off in another direction.
You're not seeing the team, gathering us together
and being like, "Guys, what shall we do?
"What's our next step?" I just... So...
So are you saying that she's responsible
for the failure of this task?
Yeah, 100%. I didn't feel supported. I didn't feel like I was directed.
OK. Same question to you, Nikki, concerning Andrea here.
I brought Andrea back
just because I felt like there wasn't a lot of direction.
More noise just from her, to be honest.
So I don't feel like she contributed a lot towards this task.
I was put on the sub team.
I was changed at the last minute
and you said, "I'm just going to go straight down the middle."
It wasn't a change... Can I say my opinion, please? Sorry.
Of course. OK, so when I didn't get time to write down the new items,
I didn't have them listed.
You didn't listen to us.
We tried to communicate. You totally left us out.
OK. Georgina, same thing.
So, regarding Carrington,
I am genuinely really sorry that you're here.
The only reason that I chose to bring her back
was because I gave you the responsibility of the maps.
But, in your defence,
I feel like the only reason you didn't know where we were
was because, at the very beginning of the day,
we didn't open the map in the briefing.
And what's the reason for Roxanne being here again?
Again, I'm so sorry you're here.
Out of the five of us, I just felt you were the quietest,
and that is all. I disagree on that point.
OK. I feel like I was never given that opportunity.
Did I not ask you...? Sorry.
Carry on. If you can just let me finish.
Of course, yeah. I'm sorry.
So I just felt like I was just kept in the shadows...
Oh, I'm sorry. ..the whole time, within the team,
so I don't deserve to be here.
No, I don't think either of you do. I would prefer to be here on my own.
So if they don't deserve to be here, who does deserve to be here?
I feel like Nikki deserves to be here, and I can't...
Obviously, no-one's going to take blame,
and everyone's going to take the easy option
by blaming the project manager, but I did turn things around.
I made the executive decision, like, let's go after the dragon head.
I'm the one who phoned the sub team and told them about the mahjong,
and I... You didn't turn things around, though,
because you were two hours late. Yeah. Yeah.
You made the decision to be two hours late.
You made it so... We didn't make a decision to be two hours late.
We just learnt, Nikki... This is a simple task,
and you completely and utterly messed up.
So I'm going to... I'm going to summarise,
and I don't want to hear any more from anybody.
Andrea, erm...
..I find your explanation rather difficult to comprehend,
and, similarly, Roxanne...
..I'm kind of wondering exactly what you've done.
Nikki...
..yes, you put yourself forward as the project manager,
very brave but...
..you was two hours late,
and you only got one item,
and you were the overall project manager.
Lord Sugar, can I...? No, you can't.
And so it is with regret that you're fired.
Thank you, Lord Sugar, Baroness Brady, Tim.
Georgina...
..I think you're your own worst enemy.
You come in here,
you bring two people in and you say they shouldn't be here.
And so you leave me nowhere to go.
So, Georgina, regretfully, you're fired.
Thank you, Lord Sugar. Thank you, Baroness Brady. Thank you, Tim.
Now, you other four ladies,
I'd just like you to collect your thoughts
and realise how serious this process is.
OK? Off you go.
Thank you, Lord Sugar. Thank you, Lord Sugar.
I put myself forward to be project manager
because that's just the type of person I am.
I always go for the challenge and I always rise to it,
but it just didn't work out on this occasion.
I feel really disappointed.
I feel like I've gone too soon,
and I just wish that I'd had that opportunity to go further
and show him what I'm made of.
Er, what happened in the boardroom?
So Lord Sugar was not happy.
He asked the project manager to bring two people back,
and he also asked the sub team to bring two people back as well.
No!
Do you think it's going to be a double?
At least, at minimum? I think it's going to be a double.
THEY CHEER
Thank you!
Girls, only four of you come back - a double firing?
Yeah. Yeah. It was insane. It was intense.
Who went first?
Nikki went first.
He was like, "Regretfully, you're fired."
She left. So how come Georgie went? And then Lord Sugar was like,
"So, Georgie, why are we here?"
Because she essentially said that she didn't need to bring us back,
and she was kind of... Her hand was forced, basically.
It was a mess.
You don't know how serious this is until you're sat
in front of Lord Sugar fighting for your life.
Now 18 candidates remain.
The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner has begun.
Next time...
I want you to create a story for four- to six-year-olds.
..novel narrations...
# Dah dah... #
BLOWS RASPBERRY
..plot twists...
We're not going to get this book finished.
..and in the boardroom...
The book itself was rubbish.
..a thriller.
Well, that was very unusual.
I think it's ridiculous.
If you think you've got what it takes to become
Lord Sugar's next business partner, visit...
