Lewis Roman has become the latest Young Apprentice 2011 candidate to be given the boot after he failed to shift products at a trade show for the over 50s.
The candidates had to select and sell two new products to the older generation, with very different results.
Atomic – led by Haya – took £347.42 on the pie makers and £500 on the bird boxes making a total of £847.42
Kinetic – led by James – took £329.98 on the trolleys and £808.79 on the mini vacuums making a total of £1138.77
As Atomic headed off for a London Eye treat with Dynamo the magician, Kinetic retired to Loser’s Cafe where finger pointing ensues.
Back in the boardroom, as everyone tried to avoid the firing line, Lord Sugar commented: “It’s a real mish mash of messages coming across here”
Haya eventually decided to bring back Hayley and Lewis due to their sales figures, and she immediately places blame with Lewis and said: “I thought he was very unprofessional and immature, during the pitches to suppliers I felt like his mother trying to control her small child.”
But Hayley turned the tables on her PM and hit back: “I think Haya should be fired. She didn’t respect or take into account any of our opinions about the product.”
Completing the trio of accusations, Lewis suggested that Hayley was in fact culpable: “I think Hayley should be fired as she only sold one unit which suggests she wasn’t passionate and enthusiastic.”
Faced with a tough decision, Lord Sugar weighed up his options before delivering his verdict: “Lewis I admire your bubbly enthusiasm but sometimes I feel like your tongue isn’t engaged with your brain and it needs to be.
“Hayley you’re very articulate in what you do and what you say but I’m not sure whether you have enough power to express yourself above the other strong characters we have in this process.
“Haya what I have learnt over the years is that before being adamant about things you have to listen to other people and it appears to me that you weren’t prepared to move on your decision.
“I have to make a decision and my decision is… Lewis; You’re Fired.”
As he is driven away Lewis said: “Lord Sugar believes in opportunities and he’s given Hayley an opportunity to prove herself. I’ve already proved myself in this competition. ”
