The Apprentice episode 8: "There could have been a double firing" James is gone! Until now he's played the jester, but this week the pressure got to him and he was war-torn, dead on his feet and his decision making was poor. He also lied. From a manager's perspective I can see he was trying to keep his team motivated, but he did it badly. His biggest mistake was getting the name of the hot tub supplier wrong - which he did twice. Sales is about building relationships with people and understanding the product, which I don't think James gets. He called the guy Derek - where did that even come from? He bought Roisin back into the boardroom because he's threatened by her, and maybe because she's a woman and he didn't know how to manager her. He called her patronising, but from what we saw, I don't think she was. Roisin ended up getting a grilling from Lord Sugar, but I still think she's the most consistent candidate. She's massively impressed me. There was something sneaky about Mark this week. He's always been my favourite, but I didn't like seeing him hoodwink project manager Filipe into giving him the job selling hot tubs. People will think he's a snake in the grass. They say nice guys don't win, but I was tipped as the nice guy, and I won. Filipe's decision to let Mark sell the high end product was, nevertheless, 100 per cent the right one because, I tell you, Daniel would not have been able to sell those hot tubs. Daniel didn't get fired because he was on the winning team; the way he was arguing with Filipe in front of customers was embarrassing. How old is this guy? These people are meant to possess the best business talent in the UK. So James was the worst performer and he was the right person to go, but Lord Sugar could also have fired Sanjay, Filipe and Daniel. They were all bad. Sanjay, who I don't remember ever writing much about before, proved he can't sell this week. There could have been a double firing. And although Rosin did well, the best performance came from Katie. She was concise and mature and even kept Daniel on the straight and narrow. When Daniel's first two pitches to the suppliers were awful, she pulled him to one side and got him to change his approach. She really brought that task together. Lord Sugar with Lee McQueen
