I suspect there would have been a double firing.

It could be that ironically they feared Scott may not do YF due to walking, especially as he seemed angry about things. So it probably just happened that the fired one did that instead then Scott was actually happy to do YF, and did it with good grace as well.

I suppose it's also possible they might have let the losing team off and talked it over before deciding to go ahead with a firing.

As for your specific question maybe they would have just done the show with no fired candidate or perhaps got one or two already fired people to talk over things. I am sure they could still work something out even if they didn't have the most recently fired (or quitting) candidate.

Agree, Gary would've gone too.

I expect it YF would still go on if Selina had been the only one fired, they could've still discussed the show and maybe brought in some earlier fired candidates to talk about the show.

Yeh, they wouldn't of done a double firing next week and they need 5 for the interviews.
Haven't they done You're Fired's without guests before though? I think there was one 2 years ago where someones father passed away a few days before.

It was filmed months ago, a long while before Selina broke her contract with the show. Further, Scott quit before anyone got fired so I dont get how it can be suspicious at all.

As for what would have happened, they would have just done the show without Selina and moved on.

Maybe but that depends on Selina saying she wouldn't do YF very early on. I am not sure that is the case though.

Honestly I don't think The Apprentice team knew Selina would be refusing to appear on YF at the time. It's not like they went "Oh well Selina isn't doing YF, quick, either make Scott quit or fire Gary!"

I think had Scott not quit we would have had a very stripped back YF. No panel members, just Jack and Romesh, relentlessly taking the piss out of Selina for not having the balls to appear on YF.

I think you're right so they would have just done it with no recent fired person. I also don't see the suspicious aspect as they might have feared Scott wouldn't do YF as well.

Sounds familiar. It was a female contestant IIRC, but I think she was one of 2/3 people to be fired that week so they still had other contestants to fill her time with.

Yep that was the triple firing from last year with Ella, Sarah and Steven

Ella-Jade it was, however iirc it was a triple firing that week? (it was week 4 iirc.... ah, it was last year with the 'YouTube' task I think). She was there for the final though and I remember Dara talking to her briefly there.

I'd say they would still have kept Gary anyway and just did a double next week - Gary wasn't really shown to have made errors which cost the team (it was basically Selina and Joseph - Gary/Charleine got a similar amount to Brett and Scott (think about maybe £5k difference at most) whilst Selina/Joseph were at least £50k down on Richard/Vana which was what really cost them, surprised that LAS didn't take Joseph to task more on that)

They would have done a show about the show, showed unseen footage and taken the piss out of mistakes. Not having a fired guest to interview isn't the end of the world.

Ah yes, that's the one, thanks. I remember her pleading in the boardroom after getting fired, so I was really interested in seeing her reaction watching it back on You're Fired, but obviously it never happened.

Yes but wasn't there a death in the family for Ella IIRC? It wasn't that she refused to go on.

What did annoy me is they didn't take the time to ask the audience if Selina should have been fired.

In fact, they largely ignored her departure, maybe for fear of more 'revelations' from her. If I was part of the production company I think I would seriously be considering taking SWS to court.

Gary was lucky. Without Scott falling on his sword I think he would have gone.

I'm sure most years it is 4 (not 5) that make the interview process, so I assume 2 get fired next week (probably Charleine and Gary)

I suspect she didn't want to do the show as she didn't want to share the limelight with Scott.

I think this is just a happy co-incidence. If Selina had gone on YF, Scott wouldn't have, as he was seen as a 'quitter', after Selina refused, they had to have a candidate on so contacted Scott.

They couldn't have known about Selina's refusal to be on YF before Scott quit, that's tantamount to saying she was told she'd be being fired before she was.

The only other theory - and this is a long shot - after Selina refused to go on YF, they ordered her back to re-film the boardroom bit again, got all the other candidates back, and Scott, who was going to be fired the following week in a double firing, was asked to 'quit' the show in order to fill the YF quota, afterwards, the next weeks firing would be refilmed too with only one firing....

Long shot, as I said.

Ha ha, they can't order her to do You're Fired but they can get her re-film the boardroom bit? I highly doubt they'd waste so many money on refilling for something like this. Besides Scott hair is SO different now

I think she's kicked off long after she was eliminated. Probably around about now isn, she's realised she probably think she can make a name for herself like Katie Hopkins, or be the next Steve Brookstein

I think if Scott hadn't quit at the same time as luck would have it they might have shown two episodes, skipped the show altogether this week etc

I love how they didn't mention her, attention is what she want's don't give it her. I'm not saying there are truth's in some of the things she has said but she's using it to try and establish herself after all some have made that sorta thing work.
