The Apprentice UK - On the cheap

After only two weeks, Sir Alan mixes up the teams and he picks the project managers for each team. He picks Matthew for Impact and you would have thought Sir Alan had just told him that his mother died. Matthew had that deer in the headlights look, even by his own admission, he has been trying to hide and stay below the radar. Ha, not this time bucko! Sir Alan also picks Adele, who came very close to being fired last week, for First Forte. The challenge is to buy items for the lowest price. Each team is given 1000 pounds (I wish my keyboard had that symbol) and a list. The items include a diamond (clarity and grade listed), a bottle of champagne (vintage and brand listed), a mattress, a dental checkup, a bowler hat (don't ask me), a Freeview (I think that may be like a Tivo) and some jellied eels, those British like to eat strange things. All that and be back at the boardroom by 5:30pm. Adele starts out by assigning everyone titles and tasks. She assigns Miranda the job of Professional Assistant and tells her she is to take notes and do whatever Adele tells her. Adele also says that if they should lose, Miranda will be coming into the boardroom. No pressure there. Ben & Tim go off to buy the diamond and come out smelling like a rose when they got a 200 pound diamond for 130 pounds. Meanwhile, Adele is busy reminding Sebastian that she didn't give him permission to go running ahead of her and to stay with her. Heel boy, heel! Matthew's team fares much better even without benefit of a leader. I really didn't see him do much of anything. Good thing for him he has a great team. Saira gets the mattress for 20 pounds less than the asking price and she didn't even have to drop the f bomb. Her and Raj talk a shop keeper into giving them the Freeview and Paul gets the money exchange for 9 pounds less than the going rate. I'm telling you, Paul could sell you your own car! Adele is still bickering with Miranda, telling her that she is not taking good notes. Hey, the girl found jellied eels on special, give her a break! Matthew's Impact team wins the challenge by 100 pounds even without the bowler hat. Their reward is dinner with Sir Alan at his favorite Italian restaurant. The episode didn't show any of the dinner, it must have been boring. The boardroom was anything but boring. These girls must have taken lessons from Omarosa because the fir was flying, not so politely this time. Everyone blamed Adele for the loss and Adele blamed Miranda for everything. Poor Ben gets pulled into the boardroom with Adele and Miranda and he wisely keeps his mouth shut letting the girls go at it. Even Sir Alan said they sounded like two old washer women. Miranda can't keep her mouth shut and keeps interrupting Adele and Adele can't stop talking. Sir Alan decides to give Adele another chance and Miranda gets the dreaded "you're fired". Double D
