Is it possible he fires both Natalie and Zee this week? He fired two in task five off season 7 and he also fired two back in season four when they was a abroad then.

Could be, but the first review of this task doesn't hint at it (talks about it being one of the most entertaining boardrooms, but nothing about a double firing at all).
Will have to wait until further reviews (beginning of next week) to see if that is likely to happen.

And then there's that certain rumour about a Final Five and not a Final Four this year...
Looks like some of the candidates' Twitter accounts aren't locked so here's anything I could make out:
- Francesca doesn't seem to win as she's still involved with her dance academy "Dance Mob", doing rehearsals and stuff atm. Tweets only go back to May 2nd. States that Neil is actually a nice guy.
- Leah: nothing between August and January. She likes Monkseal's blog.
- Natalie: Also likes Monkseal's blog. Nothing else from her as she's got rid of her tweets from before Dec 2012
- Zee: likes to promote himself a lot. Nothing from Feb 12 until May this year
- Kurt: Nothing of interest
- Alex: Tweets are protected.
- Neil: hasn't written a tweet but has the thing saying "contractually not allowed to tweet or respond", perhaps he's our winner?
- Luisa: Tweets are protected.
- Jordan: "am on Twitter lockdown due to being an Apprentice candidate". Personal website has him leaving his job in Feb this year to do a 10 week course on being a web developer.

Luisa also reads Monkseal's blog (she is the one twittering that "she fans herself"), up-to-date even as the new blogpost for week 4 just went live a few hours ago.

However, sometimes I've heard it's 3 per week, which would make it task 7. But, why would Nick be at Morrisons again nearly 2 weeks after the task was filmed?
Either way, Endeavour have to lose task 5 as everyone on Evolve is safe. Thinking about it, if Morrisons is task 7, then Endeavour would probably have to lose task 6 too.
The Myles cadet clip seems to have only 2 candidates there - one of them Myles and another to his far left (who I think is Kurt as the man there is wearing a grey jacket). The person in army fatigues in the middle could potentially be another candidate (if it was, I would say Alex)
So Myles moves over to Endeavour for task 6. When Endeavour lose task 5, it will be a 6-5 split.
The issue I have is where the Luisa clip saying 'make a decision' is from? It's probably not next week (as there's a consultant guy with her), and it doesn't look like task 6 as at least one of Jordan and Francesca isn't there (there is a man to her left, and the pinstriped jacket seems to indicate that it's Jason). Possibility that the rest of the team are out of shot at this time? As there's something in the task 6 RT preview about indecision at the planning stage.
The Francesca 'stitched up' clip may be from the Morrisons task - she's definitely in some kind of kitchen and if she's PM then that could be a reason behind the quote. After that, either Neil would have to move or Francesca would have to move.
I think the PM for Endeavour on the army task may be Alex, if that is him in the clip. At that point, only him and Leah would not have been PM on a task within that team. PM for Evolve I think will be Rebecca? Only her and Francesca wouldn't have been PM by that point and I think the trio pic may be a sub-team.
This seems to mean that Jason and Alex are both safe until task 8 (providing that Morrisons is task 7), Kurt would also be safe until then.
I'm just trying to work this out. If Morrisons was part of task 6, then Luisa and Jason would be a sub-team on their own (presuming that only Myles moves and there isn't a swap involved). Although they're in the same clip (the 'make a decision' one), Luisa looks as though she's speaking to someone who's just out of shot, suggesting a 3rd person in the room.
Morrisons has to be task 7 then, surely? And Endeavour lose task 6? Everyone who we know will be on Evolve is already there (Jordan, Rebecca, Francesca, Luisa, Jason). So of the others, Zee, Natalie and Myles are the only ones who could be fired over those 2 tasks. It would be a 5-5 split if that happened so there is potential that the Alex/Neil/Kurt car clip with Leah could be for task 7 where she's PM? It would make more sense than Neil having to do an in-team swap halfway through (which I'm still not sure why Rebecca had that in week 2).
Is that Natalie BR clip definitely from week 3? She looked like she was in the Sophie firing seat rather than the PM seat on the clip (the one where she's sitting herself down)
Alex BR clip is still potentially this week - could be when the losing team come back into the BR again before Zee decides who to bring back?
Luisa BR clip seems to be from task 7 at the earliest. She doesn't look to be PM whenever that clip is.
The only thing that could possibly exonerate Myles is the sumo-wrestling clip.”

That could be a part of the team building task?

I take it you mean this new task 6? Possibly if both teams are trying out various things first before deciding on the army and back to school ideas. I can't remember this properly but did they do that on the fitness video task last year?
Well it's definitely two men in the clip (both wearing black men's shoes). One of them looks like Myles (wearing a big silver ring on the left hand), and the other one possibly Jordan or Alex. If it is from task 6 then it must be Team Endeavour (there's no-one as tall as the man on the right on Evolve) - so the shorter man I think would have to be Alex.
Ideally to make sure of where the Morrisons part comes in, we need to find out either when they were in Dubai or when they were doing task 6. Filming of the Morrisons pic seems to be about 6-7 days from the market task, but it does mean that Luisa and Rebecca would have to swap over between sub-teams halfway through if it was part of task 6 (which would be the same for Neil on task 5 if the Alex/Neil/Kurt car clip is from there, as he's seen with Zee on the task).

It looks to be from task 6, as on the left you can see the kind of nets they use for military training (when you have to crawl under some barriers and stuff). Last year they did try it out (also in the intro, Stephen, Tom and Katie doing excercises).

All will be revealed in two days time, though I also saw Leah and Natalie in what seemed to be the same store, so it could be that they switch a lot (at least for the Dubai task).
Wonder if they are shooting you're fired tonight or tomorrow (the first week they shot the tuesday ep on sunday).
You're Fired was filmed tonight as usual (entrepreneur Lara Morgan, who is a guest, tweeted about having done the show tonight).
Which for me makes it still 50/50 between Natalie and Zee tomorrow (Nat was doing completely other things on Sunday, but has twitter silence for today since this afternoon).

Hmm, see the thing for me is how the whole "sexism" argument plays out. Normally, I'd think LS would fire Zee, as his business plan seems to be investment-based and I feel he'd prefer Natalie's fashion-based plan. BUT if Nat goes a bit over the top then I think she'll talk herself into being fired (a la Bilyana from last year).
Seems Leah might be the deciding factor (if she's brought back) - if she supports Natalie then Zee could be gone, otherwise, I can't see anything other than Natalie being fired.
Seeing as it was described as an "entertaining" BR, I have a feeling that Leah might back Zee and Natalie will be fired.
Digital Spy preview says the following:
- Zee alienates everyone on his team with his leadership style (now where did we see that just last week?), Neil calls him out in a talking head
- Jordan's extensive research strategy in the Evolve sub-team (Jordan/Luisa/Jason) loses the team some valuable time, although it looks like he might realise that what with the preview clip on the BBC website
- Leah wants Endeavour to go to a shopping mall to get some of the items, but gives in to Zee, who wants to get everything cheaply from market stalls
- Myles and his sub-team wait around in a shop for an hour whilst a UAE flag is made to order. Zee and Kurt mix up cm and inches and they get the wrong size of flag
Seems to point to Zee being fired tonight. I do think that he probably should be fired, but Natalie's 'sexist' rant may save him.

Again he might fire both Zee and Natalie. Zee is fired for being a poor PM and Natalie is fired because she uses the "sexist" card which might anger Sugar.

But again, this doesn't fit in with the photo of the Interview Round with five chairs. If five people make the final, there can be no interviews.

Where does it say that Natalie uses the sexist card
It might be correct, but if both Leah and Natalie are brought back then it might be either (or more likely both).
I wonder if the "I perform task, after task, after task" bit from that early boardroom preview is from tonight and to whom he says the "you were weak this task".
Also, Natalie is twittering about the episode tonight, would she do that if she were to be fired this task
We will find out tonight.

Yeah, I think they're jumping to conclusions. All we know is that someone accuses someone else (Almost certainly Zee) of sexism.
With the latest previews, I'll be surprised if Zee survives tonight.

During the task or during the boardroom? The preview seems very targeted at Alex's team, by the way.

Checked radio times again one of the least likeable candidate's but it doesn't say in what circumstances
Going by the editing of the trailer, Endeavour suffer another loss next week (whom are being led by Leah).
Just like episode 4, first shot and last shot of the boardroom is focussed on Evolve (making the impression they lose, even though we don't see them on the losing side of the table). Honestly, if this turns out to be correct, then we won't have any problems with the next few episodes.
Also, the first preview clip is for Endeavour (according to the win vs. loss preview clips theory, that will be the losing team).
Could be the end for Natalie, Myles or Kurt.

So Myles moves to endeavour - does anyone from that team move to evolve? If not the genders will be a bit imbalanced... I was thinking Kurt. 
Would I be right in thinking that Natalie and Kurt's only preview clips were shown tonight (Kurt on his own, Natalie crying in the boardroom)? Myles' remaining clips may all be next week as well depending on whether the sumo-wrestling is from next week or not.
If Kurt or Natalie moves teams that puts them out of danger but could really be any of the three next week.

Sumo-wrestling is next week - Myles, Kurt and Natalie at risk. Anyone else? I guess Leah is safe.
Not sure on Team Evolve but I'm sure Endeavour had six based on the Leah BR shot so I'm up for Evolve to win again.
My early call is Natalie to get fired as she's certainly gone if she hits BR again and considering her team seem to lose and she'll be 0-6, I really think the only thing that'll save her is Leah letting her off the hook.
In terms of the Final person in the Final Five, I reckon it could be Alex as Jordan had a mixed edit again and Alex is very subtly showing signs of competence - the only person to question the oud being a fragrance.
Sumo-wrestling clip is next week (also seen in the first preview clip). The thought of a direct switch with Myles is actually good, but Kurt is seen in the car clip (with Neil and Myles) and if Natalie switches then only one female remains on that team (though it would be a classic make or break effort from Lord Sugar, switch and make her PM).
It will really depend if Leah is devious enough to take Natalie back to the boardroom ( just like this week, brought back in by the PM who was on her subteam). Still, easy money should be on Natalie.

I know Luisa hasnt been in the boardroom but we see a clip of her being told to be quiet tonight although its hard to tell if its a final 3 boardroom
I am guessing that is a while away yet though
