Two girls had been fired in the first two weeks. "We're too good for them," boasted Raj. But Sir Alan Sugar had decided to reorganize the teams for the third week. "Matthew, I'm gonna make you the team leader," he boomed. Matthew looked gobsmacked. Adele was also chosen as a Team leader by Sir Alan Matthew, Raj, Paul and James were joined by Saira and Rachel for team Impact.Adele, Miranda and Miriam were joined by Ben, Sebastian and Tim for team First Forte.Their task: to buy a range of products including a diamond, a bottle of champagne, jellied eels, a bowler hat, a Freeview box, a dental check-up - and get back to the boardroom by 5.30pm. Adele gave each team member a job description. Miranda was not pleased to be appointed Adele's PA and ordered to take notes of meetings. James knew exactly where to buy a bottle of Bollinger 96 Grande Année. He took the team off to the expensive Lea and Sandeman wine merchants in the Fulham Road - and paid £49 for a bottle. Tim found a cheaper shop and only paid £44.90. Rachel must have been pleased to learn she needed two fillings in her dental check-up. Sebastian has perfect teeth. Raj and Saira sweet-talked a shopkeeper in Punjabi - and walked out of the shop with a Freeview box which cost them nothing! Matthew's team won despite failing to buy a bowler hat and his team were treated to dinner with Sir Alan at his favourite Italian restarant. Adele's team all blamed the team leader. Sir Alan was reminded that he always got the blame as the boss for everything that went wrong at Tottenham Hotspur FC "and I didn't even play!" Miranda and Ben were chosen to join Adele the next morning in the boardroom. Miranda and Adele kept squabbling in front of Sir Alan - "bickering like two old washer-women" - until Miranda was fired. Sir Alan thought she should have shown more respect for the team leader.

Nick Hewer offers 'creative' horse idea
added by newsBotNick Hewer has suggested some "creative thinking" that could have allowed Debra Barr to sell a rocking horse on last night's episode of The Apprentice. Barr was not allowed to reduce the price of the horse for a potential buyer who insisted on a £200 discount, which resulted in James McQuillan's team losing the task and Ben Clarke being fired by Sir Alan Sugar. Hewer told The Mirror: "What would have been wrong in saying: 'Pay
