The ice maiden is still with us. It was Paula who got fired.

Yes, Paula. LOL Sorry, I'm getting my names all confused. I'd make a great Apprentice candidate. I wouldn't even remember the names of the other candidates! I'd be fired in the first week!

Whenn they went on the street they already knew they had poured a small fortune into the soap. They should have capitalised on this genuine expenditure, quoting Sandalwood Oil at £700 a kilo, saying it was genuine quality with nothing spared - and sold it as a class product at £6.

Hell, Body Shop can do it and sell too.

They should have given prospective customers a sniff of the gorgeous sandalwood bottle, what was left in it.

At least it have us one of the best quotes of the series so far though...

"No it's half of four hundred and fift...shit"

Floopy, you're not alone - I'm finding it really difficult to remember the candidates' names this year. Kept forgetting Paula's all the way through tonight's episode. Either I'm getting older (which obviously I am) or they're a more forgettable bunch this year!

I think Yasmina's previous success in the catering task saved her tonight - she would have been toast otherwise.

Haha I loved that bit.

And when Nick said "I'll leave it with you then" made me crack up!

Which grates on me to be honest. Considering her success in the catering task was dubiously based on buying cack ingredients, providing crap food and being lucky enough to have clients not exacting enough to say, "Your product and service was chuffing awful. We're paying you jack sh*t," which, quite frankly, was what I think their food deserved.

Sorry, I'm still a little sore about the result of the catering task. Both teams' food was garbage but some teams' food was more garbage than others...

What I don't understand is how they made a loss. Even if you've overspent, that doesn't mean you have to stick with the original price. Did they not work out how much they needed to charge per product to break even? They sold their entire stock and still made a loss; they didn't even think about how much to charge for them.

The real scandal is not opting for a really expensive ingredient, it's selling them for less than cost!

The price was over £1,000 per kilo!

Not to mention the massive markup selling them to Apprentice addicts on Ebay.

It always has been. Outside of the show I doubt any contestant would have got within a million miles of senior employment with Sugar. The BBC can spin it however it likes but comparing this with the real world is frankly insulting to people who actually understand business.

Sandalwood = £1700 per kilo
Cedarwood = £26.00 per kilo but smells like it.

Dont buy the argument they would have won if they had used cedarwood as there was no guarantee they could have sold at the same price and that quantity. The lady at the end would not have paid £400.00 if they had used cedarwood as she knew she had a bargain. Even I knew sandalwood is very expensive.

They knew how much they had spent and they should have charged per unit accordingly.

If these guys are the next generation of entrepreneurs, then the UK is in real trouble!

In my mind, the 100 chickens is the worse mistake. Common sense should tell you that people don't put one chicken on one pizza.

They are all apparently incapable of basic arithmetic. Having spent £1200, what on earth were they doing selling the stock for £1100? They were tipped of about the c*ck-up, at that point stockbroker boy should have said - right, the unit cost of each item is £4.12 for the gel and £3.62 for the soap, make sure you sell for more than that.

It's incredibly stupid, and betrays the lack of basic skills that they all apparently have.

Inability to read a simple document is one thing, but having someone more competent tip you off and still not do anything is another.
