| Toot toot, all abroad James' banter bus |
After Lord Sugar's firing spree and having to be calmed down after threatening to sack his faceless PA and Karen, he woke up at a service station smelling of booze and with a mighty hangover. Oh and to tell the teams that he wanted them to arrange coach trips and tours to try and get a load of money. Woopie, another task to see which team is less socially inept while not really trying to teach their business sense or skills.
Team Tenacity chose Oxford to tour and project manager Dan set the ticket prices at £99.50 (great value knocking off 50p clearly). Unfortunately for him he wasn't really able to sell any tickets until late on, leading to everyone wondering if anyone would mind if he was dumped in Kent and forgotten about. Sanjay meanwhile, lead Team Summit and thought Kent would be a great destination for a tour and set the relatively low price of £60 per ticket. Before James could hold another trademark fire sale, Bianca managed to sell a load of tickets on the cheap while also admitting she did it because she was desperate to sell them. Oh. Dear.

James was definitely the face of Summit despite Sanjay's
leadership, calling himself "King James" while walking around castle
pointing at birds, singing nursery rhymes on the bus, telling people the
tour's over before it's done and having his own special fire sale of
crisps. Jemma when not hyping up her own team's efforts was giving a tour of Hever Castle in the style of
Alan Partridge's tour of Bono's house; failing to think of basic facts of Henry VIII or Anne Boleyn and pointing at a real photograph of Henry VIII despite the fact you could only take photos 300 years ago if you had a time machine and a camera. Team Summit? More like Team Bus Crash on the M25. (I'm so sorry)
On the other side, Team Tenacity weren't perfect but still were good if you ignore the poor sandwiches, selling water at a high price and Felipe's coma inducing river cruise talk. Lauren was able to show off Blenheim really well with her great research and enthusiasm, Mark stepped up to the plate and lead his sub team well, making it a relevantly solid performance. Dan was ineffectual as the project manager, making me wonder whether or not he's better off making sandwiches while the big boys do a decent job.

Back to the boardroom and after both teams argued about their own failures even before it was revealed who had won, Team Summit lost by over £500. Had to laugh at the disappointment of Team Summit members then cutting to Tenacity candidates' faces going from pissed off to over the moon while Dan still looked majorly pissed off. Out of Sanjay, Bianca and Jemma, Lord Sugar decided that it was pointless to keep asking what Jemma does every week and fired her. Bet she was still kicking herself when she forgot to edit out "I'm always the one that never wins" bit out of her CV because that was inevitably going to come back to haunt her. Meanwhile back at the house, DanGate continued with everyone and 5 million viewers back home telling stop him being an egoistic lying bastard (could tell that to James too to be fair), making him look like a slopping 7 year old on the naughty step. Can't wait for the Apprentice finale where Mark has had enough of Dan's bullshit, lifts him up over his head and throws him onto his thigh, Bane style.
Next week - Board games. I wonder who will be fired next in Lord Sugar's own version of Cluedo.
