Title: The Apprentice
Episode: Discount Dealing
Description: The candidates are called to meet Lord Sugar on a rooftop
overlooking the City of London, where countless financial
deals are done on a daily basis. For one day only, the teams
will be representing an online daily deals website that
offers Londoners exclusive deals in hotel stays, beauty
treatments, posh dinners and premium products. It is a test
in the teams’ negotiation skills; they must strike the
right deal, get a good discount and deliver their offers to
the website by 7.00 that evening. Nick and Karren watch on
as the teams get increasingly desperate in their attempts to
secure quality deals at the right price. Businesses are
bemused as candidates try to negotiate offers on everything
from candles and teeth whitening to five-star meals and fish
pedicures. With the deadline looming, tensions and
negotiations reach fever pitch and both teams face a final
dash to the website’s HQ to have their deals approved;
only those that meet the website’s exacting standards will
go live for twenty four hours. In the boardroom there is a
landslide victory, and the losers mount a desperate bid to
stay in the running; it seems that no-one is safe from those
fateful words: ’You’re fired’
