Overview of the task:

Spoiler:

They have the whole of London to sell to: street markets, houses door-to-door, offices and maps to help find more. The trick is to match the products to the potential market, but some get it badly wrong, taking tacky stuff to snobby areas, or high-priced goods to East End pound shops. For some selling comes naturally, but for others it's a humiliating struggle.

In the battle to sell, the teams start to forget the challenge. One team wantonly under-invests, while the other returns to buy an even wider range of products. Arguments about how best to accumulate cash spilt the candidates, leaving both teams in disarray.

Lord Sugar nurses hopes for high returns, but in the boardroom they are dashed by dismal results. Turning on the losers, he vents his fury on their performance - particularly their logistics - and the backstabbing begins. In the end there is little to choose between the final three, then the decision is made and an emotional loser hears the words "You're fired!".

Could be but Nick seems to have a soft spot for her so could fight her corner to LS. In a way if Susan was to be fired or not win it might be the best thing to have happened to her as some candidates have proved.

Could ''emotional'' loser be referring to Jim as we know he hates losing?

NO! Susan should not be fired! Not over Tom, Melody and Jim. But it'll be a woman going if it's an emotional firing unless it's Tom and Natasha and Susan cry because he's lovely.

I think when Lord Sugar says to Susan 'Youre Fired' she should turn around and go 'But thats so unfair Lord Sugar'

She was the most grown up in her team yesterday though. She's learning pretty quickly to grow up.


I really hope Melody doesn't win this. She's awful, works hard yeah, but she is a bitch and would be a nightmare to work with.

This only being in the show in that presurred environment, we have no idea what all the candidates would be like back in their day jobs.

Got no idea if this is true or not but a person on Twitter has posted a picture of someone they claim is the fired candidate next week...

Preview for next week. For the firing i've been trying to guess which side he points at, i've paused it a few times and am doing guess at the left because Melody's team are on the right hand side and appear in the clip but the other team are obviously not seen because they are on the left.

Could be wrong though..
