Two boys down, five to go! This has to be the year a woman wins BBC’s Apprentice.
Majid Nagra has become the third person to be sacked by Sir Alan Sugar during the latest Apprentice series. The 28-year-old found himself in the boardroom along with Ben Clarke and James McQuillan after the boys’ team lost a task of creating fitness equipment.
Nagra’s Empire team gained only 500 orders from buyers, whilst Debra Barr led the girls’ Ignite team to victory, with 10,180 orders for their re-designed exercise ball.
Sir Alan told Majid: “General feeling amongst my two colleagues here is that you just hang around on the periphery and don’t actually do anything.”

OMG!!! Sir Alan Sugar appeared on The One Show tonight saying that this years bunch of Apprentice candidates are his best yet, but to me they look like a bunch of bumbling idiots.
Their first task consisted of Sir Alan providing them with a van and some cleaning materials (all of which they paid for out of their budget). They then had to clean some stuff and make as much money as they could in just one day.
The girls in particular astounded me by trying to charge £300 to clean three cars! When the customer pointed out that his current cleaner does the job for £60, Mona Lewis told him he was wrong and basically implied that he was a liar. They landed the contract in the end but after dropping their price dramatically they then had to summon their customer to help them work the pressure washer.
