:smiley: Grab hold of your trampoline pole firmly and give it a good play, cos LS wants the candidates to flog sh*te on live tv again!

'Multimillionaire Lord Sugar tasks the remaining candidates to sell consumer products live to the nation on a leading TV shopping channel. They must choose the right products and sing their virtues - all while contending with being directed by the gallery. As ever, aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell witness events on behalf of his Lordship and, back in the boardroom, another candidate's ambitions are switched off.'

    This task is unusual in that Lord Sugar will have seen the selling part as it was broadcast. Did any DSers also catch the nation's brightest business prospects flogging cheap jewellery at 2am one day last summer?

    The shopping channel task usually produces some classy moments, picking a decent product that will sell is key, and then pretending you care about it when selling is also key.

    From the clips I have seen so far someone made the fantastic decision to put Maura in front of the camera.

    That is reason to fire someone on its own

    Always a good one, usually so bad it's a great watch.

    Hi Evil back again, and one thing is certain the Candidates will be in a rush towards the end. :) Watched the other episodes and that Caravan one was badly done with no imagination at all. I would have sacked the whole team, and some are lucky to have got away with it. We have a storn outside and keeping an eye on those poles which are clinking each other. :o

    Oh no! They are useless at almost everything but are especially useless at tv selling.

    Maybe. There definitely needs to be more than one firing per week before we reach the interviews, but we could see one firing tonight and more than one next week.

    I'm surprised shopping channels are still a thing.

    Evening all. :)

    - Can Lord Sugar be bothered to show up for the task briefing?
    - Will the candidates swear on live TV?
    - Will Phil survive when he loses another task? ;)

    All these questions and more answered in the next hour. :)

    Will Phil be on the losing team again?
    Will Phil take his clothes off this episode?
    Will we see a penis dress?

    Evening all :)

    The big question for me is would any of this lot seriously make you pick up the phone to order whatever they're flogging? :open_mouth:
