This one's a tough decision, because both of you have contributed well to all tasks. Jamie, this isn't your first time in this position and I'm beginning to suspect that your team mates aren't really in this as a team. I believe you've been one of the series' strongest performers and I believe this is a bit of a sabotage attempt by some of them. That said, this task you were sadly one of the weakest performers and - although I think Apple performed the poorest - I have to agree you should be here.

Roy, I also expressed concern with your performance in this task and said that your writing wasn't too convincing, and lacked neutrality and a professional finish. My main concern with you here is that you're up against one of the strongest competitors in the whole game, and although I've seen some good work from you throughout, Jamie has done well with pitches and you've been out-posted by him in every task.

For this reason, it is with regret that I have to say Roy Mars III, you're fired.

[Apple202]

Unlucky Roy, you were a great team member

Grats Jamie though!

Good luck to MTVN and Salman now

Jamie well done saved again boom

Again, I believe that two of the strongest performers in this task have been sent to the board room. In fact I would have ranked you two as the best this time around. So I really don't want to fire any of you, and now that my four members of staff have reached a deadlock I feel all a bit Louis Walsh if I'm honest.

MTVN, I've really appreciated the wit and humour you've brought to the game and obviously Jedi Jim is one of the greatest of all time Apprentice contenders, but at a couple of times in the competition I've worried that you've kind of hit a brick wall with the rest of the team and maybe haven't posted as often to try and take command, like some... benbers... have

Salman!, I did berate you early in the competition for a lack of effort, but I'm pleased to see that you've really upped your game in this task. That said, your efforts in the forum game task weren't really eye-catching - but this can be said for Matthew too.

I think this one's an even tougher decision, so I'm going to have to place this down to whose article I believed was the best of the entire competition, let alone his team. Salman!, go back to the house. MTVN, I'm sorry to say, you're fired.

[Kate!]

Thank you so much for playing Roy and Matt. You've both been immensely entertaining. It's testament to how tough it was to fire either of you that was reflected in our deadlock.

Congrats Jamie and Salman.
