After a task in which the teams set up and branded a new fast food restaurant, it’s time to find out what scores the teams have been awarded by Lord Sugar’s group of experts. After being marked out of 10 in four categories by each expert for: brand identity, customer experience, food quality and long-term viability, the responses were totted up and the results were as follows:
Logic averaged a mark of seven out of 10
Venture received an average of just four out of 10
Lord Sugar compliments Helen and Tom and reveals to them: “You’re in the final! You’ve done very well getting through to this stage. Go back to the house, have a good rest, and I’ll be in touch shortly.”
Turning to Venture, he tells them: “I guess you must be sitting there wondering what your fate is now that those two are in the final.

Apprentice candidates Natasha Scribbins and Susan Ma have told The Sun that they were both raised “in poverty.”
31 year old Natasha said that she worked as a child in order to help out the family finances, while Susan recalled a childhood spent being brought up by a struggling single mum.
Natasha said, “I went out and worked from a young age. It’s crazy – but I used to not take the free school meals and instead used the money I earned to pay for my food.”
And her Mum Gillian said, “She shared a bedroom. It was busy at times, but she just got on with it…
“On a council estate it’s leave school, get a job or get pregnant. Tash was doing the opposite to everyone else – she stayed in and studied.”
Gillian added that when Natasha went to university, there was little the family could do to help her financially.

Melody Hossaini became the latest contestant to be axed from The Apprentice tonight, after overseeing a disastrous effort in an investment and sales task. Lord Alan Sugar fumed at both teams' efforts and refused to give the winning team - Natasha Scribbins's Team Venture - their planned treat, despite their triumph. Hossaini, Tom Pellereau and Helen Milligan's disappointing profit of only £728 meant that they had to return for a boardroom showdown. Karren Brady helped Sugar come to his final verdict over who should be fired, arguing that Hossaini's talkative manner would be a nightmare in board meetings. Sugar agreed with Brady, revealing that he had difficulty understanding what business he could ever go into with the 27-year-old. Pellereau escaped the chop for another week, but continued to frustrate the multi-millionaire (more)...
