Can anyone point me in the direction of the episode when Sugar fired a contestant and they all started crying and he told them to take a break because it was so upsetting? It was riveting TV and one of my all time favourite Apprentice moments but I can't seem to find it online.
'Crying' Boardroom
I can't think which episode you're talking about, and I have seen every one. It's probably just slipped my mind though. Can you remember anything more specific?

It was towards the end of a series I think it might have been after the interviews before the 2 finalists were chosen.

I think it was after James McQuillan's firing in the Series 5 interview stage. After he left, the other 4 candidates started crying and LS sent them out to compose themselves.

Yes it was I just seen it again and welled up straight away, when he stops at the door and says 'it's been brilliant'... bloody hell man!

I've only seen it once, and that was quite a long time ago. Explains why I can't remember it.
I liked this moment, but I've always felt like the emphasis on James was over-exaggerated.
I think it makes a nice story that they were upset for James because he was such a great guy. And while I think they felt bad for him, I think they were all feeling pretty stressed about the situation and for their own sake. Plus I only spotted Debra shedding any tears, though maybe Lorraine did too behind those big glasses.
I think the only one who was actually close to James was Yasmina and she seemed to be coping pretty well. I'd hardly expect Debra or Kate to get that sad about James being fired since they didn't seem to rate him very much and expected him to be fired long before then. Hard to tell about Lorraine but I don't remember seeing any signs of a relationship between her and James.
I think James's firing simply brought the realization that they are going to be ruthlessly scaled down to 2 finalists.
I wonder if any of the 4 females have commented on it since to clarify the reason.
