Love means never having to say you're sorry.

[Nicky91]

ok i'm present, 14 minutes early

[Strictly Jake]

Im here

[Kate!]

I'm here. Hello Jake and Nicky. Prompt and ready I see. Are you nervous?

[The Slim Reaper]

Can you send them through, please?




Lord Sugar will see you now.

Matthew, Nicky, and Jake.

This is perhaps the cruelest part of the whole process. You've all shown willing, talent, and stamina, and all 3 of you are only one step away from the final.

Jake.

You've been consistent throughout. You've followed the briefs, hit your deadlines, and you've looked for ways to add value and impress. For the most part you've generally delivered. Your city was easily the best, you designed your own mascot and you even got your rugrats involved.

However, I do have fears about whether you've flown under the radar a bit, and the fact that sonya and her trumpet was your weakest task, and also one of the most recent has me thinking that maybe you peaked too early in this process.

Matthew

You started off at a disadvantage missing nearly the whole first task, and I'll be honest, I didn't expect you to last very long at that stage, but you've grown into it and you were the clear winner of Gemma task, and you've been getting stronger throughout. That MS paint unicorn (or whatever it was) was genius.

However, does that compensate for the fact that you missed a whole task?

Nicky

Another one that's grown into the competition. You didn't quite get it at the start, but over the tasks you've been producing better and better results. Your fox was definitely the most handsome mascot, you gave us an interesting tour of your city, and your enthusiasm has been off the charts.

However, I think you know you overstepped the mark on occasion, and anyone who is going to be my business partner can't be doing that.



So you see my dilemma here. 3 good and worthy candidates.

Hmm.

Now I've been in business a long time. Longer than I care to remember, and one of the key indicators for me on how someone will pan out, is consistency.


And it's on this basis, that the first candidate going through to the final will be...

Spoiler:

Jake

Congratulations Jake. We'll see you in the final.

[Kate!]

Congratulations Jake.

[Strictly Jake]

Thankyou very much. I wont let you down

[Nicky91]

now with all honesty, when i do deliver, i deliver awesomely i think

i know what my problems are, that i lack self-confidence, but i'm learning now and i won't let you down in this final Lord Sugar, also at the interview i didn't complain and went through that very easily

[The Slim Reaper]

So we're left with Matthew and Nicky.

This isn't easy. Like I said, positives and negatives to both of you. If you could see our team room, you would see decisions going back and forth after pretty much every task. Favourites emerging, then falling back.

Before the start of the last task it was pretty neck and neck. Matthew definitely overcame the struggle of missing a task, and was actually the form candidate coming in to the final round.

So it really did come down to the last task.

Nicky, you smashed that last task out of the park. Some really thoughtful answers, although tomato's on a fry up? What on earth were you thinking?


Matthew, the mix up with times didn't help you out at all, and I feel that your last task was understandably a bit rushed, but it's on this basis that we had to judge you.


So joining Jake in the final will be...

Spoiler:

Nicky

[Matthew.]

Okay thanks this game was fun, thanks Kate, Slim and Ammi
