Ah well, as if Lord Sugar would want a business partner who was 'not prepared to rip someone a new ahole'.... (was that my imagination or did he really say that in the boardroom?!) wobble

Seems like LS knew who he was sacking regardless of the result, they all had a reason to be fired but it was definitely Brett's time to go. If anyone got off lightly, it was Joseph. I think Richard and Vana are stronger than the others, but who knows how much bullst they put in their applications.

She was impressed by his torpedo and he wanted to see her twin bofors.

This is the first time I've really felt sorry for the contestants.

The Veggie crisps certainly looked better (in terms of packaging and idea behind them) and would have probably had orders after one tweak after the feedback session.

AS clearly wanted someone on that team gone, maybe to make Richard and Vana not seem like the inevitable final 2 (which they are).

The products just weren't that bad for 48hrs work! The editing made them all look stupid when they probably did a pretty good job, frankly.

AS really has it in for Richard (ok, I couldn't work with him either), which was highly unfair. The massive mistake on that team was definitely the oil and Vana got off lightly.

Thought the two PMs brought the wrong two back into the boardroom with them but AS wanted Brett gone and I am surprised he got this far.

How blondie has got to the final five is anyone's guess though. She really does appear to be criminally dim. But, as others have said, she may well have an excellent and easily managed business plan.

If AS wants Richard gone then could Joseph sneak into the final?? Surely Gary is gone as well!

I agree, but to put things in to perspective, I'd much rather work with Richard than AS, but AS hasn't let his lack of affability get in the way of success.

Absolutely! I'd like £250k but not if it comes with added Sugar wink

Shocking to see Joesph remove the lip fur for next weeks' interviews...he'll be lost without it.

Should have fired all of them of an abject failure. AS keeps his paltry £250k warm 'n dry and we reset for a new series of pap in 2016.

It's difficult to relate what we see with the voiceover '...these are some of the country's best and brightest business minds...'

I think it's been giving him luck and he's going to get fired next week

I can't see how Richard and AMS will ever get on, both have egos way too big to take the other.

I do love the apprentice but as with any program the characters are clearly chosen for their character rather than ability, but.... Is it just me or does Karen make rather pointless snide comments?

When the old advisors were on very rarely did they say anything, they were aides to report back to AS. Karen always seems to have a dig whenever she can around the table.

All part of the brief I'd imagine.
