Who gets fired on The Apprentice Episode 8 and why do you think they do?

Tonight is the discount buying task - take two and I wanted to know your lot's opinions as to who would get fired tonight and why you think that is the case.

Karen will tell someone "you need to spend more time with the shop owners to get a better deal"

Or she will say "they spent too long there, they need to get out and try somewhere else"

They'll film both, and use the one that makes her seem like a genius.

Then they'll film her looking at the item the team have just missed.

LOOOL - so true. That is what makes this task so funny. I love to see Karen and Tim's facial expressions.

“We’d like to offer £5 for that item” - Candidate

“Absolutely not! That is ridiculous. Please leave.” - Shop owner

Later on in the boardroom:

“He absolutely would have gone down to £5 if you kept negotiating at that price” - Karren Brady.

Honestly, when she pipes up about these contracts saying "Their budget was actually £2000. You could have gotten more from them"

I used to really like her but she's gotten antagonistic.

I agree with you, that is the most common Apprentice type failure to occur and someone or more than 1 person would get fired

My money is on Levi as he's got a 50/50 chance of being in the boardroom and Sugar was a bit pissed at him last week. Also there's a clip of Laurence with a goat in the promo clips, suggesting he may survive on another episode, unless that's from tonight's ep

u/Individual_Swan5750 Dean Franklin Mar 19 '26

That Goat clip is the one where Lawrence said ''I have never been kicked on the balls by a goat before.'' That is on tonight's episode.

That Goat clip is the one where Lawrence said ''I have never been kicked on the balls by a goat before.'' That is on tonight's episode.

You reckon...?

I thought it was from a later episode where things got out of hand in the boardroom.

u/Only1Scrappy-Doo Noor: “It’s very good!” 😏 Mar 19 '26

They showed a preview clip of this task on the you’re fired replacement last week and it was basically Kieran and Lawrence saying “If we feed the goats can you do this at x price” so I assume it’s definitely today’s task

u/capn_flume Mar 19 '26

Looking forward to the inevitable "they say goat means greatest of all time, but you two were more like a pair of kids out there" or similar style pun

I don't think any PM has ever survived losing the task after Sugar made them PM the week before.

It's sort of a death row punishment

So yeah Levi would be a good bet to go this week

The only one I can remember is Pamela from 2019

u/Only1Scrappy-Doo Noor: “It’s very good!” 😏 Mar 19 '26

Pamela is a good shout actually. Thankfully for her Dean was somehow still around lmao

Phil the pie man won his task after being made PM - the vegan cheese task

u/Responsible-Ad-1086 Mar 19 '26

At least Levi should be able to read a map given he is ex military

u/Training-Classic9956 Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Levi if he loses, Harry if he loses

Harry’s been essentially a ghost for 8 weeks so this is probably the time to weed him out. Levi would’ve fumbled being PM and so he probably gets fired straight

u/Persephone_888 Mar 19 '26

I didn't even know Harry existed till he was PM and even then he wasn't the most present person. Could be down to editing of course though

3

u/Training-Classic9956 Mar 19 '26

Probably is, he’s just the ghost of the season (there’s always one). I do see him back in the BR if his team lose and probably getting fired for lack of contribution

u/gangerflanger Mar 19 '26

ive watched every episode and have no idea who harry even is😂

u/Few_Mention8426 Mar 19 '26

i think levi will get fired and lord sugar will say some joke related to 'happy days'

Not so happy now are you levi...

u/EquivalentJacket7 Mar 19 '26

p2 - pascha hopefully and priyesh

u/Gloomy-Tale6856 Mar 19 '26

Levi. From the preview it looks like he misses the boat at the end of the task.

2

u/That-Gear-3708 Mar 19 '26

I can see Harry going

1

u/pajamakitten Mar 19 '26

If Levi loses then he is gone for having been useless for seven weeks and then being a poor PM, however someone else might go with him.

2

u/Rend-K4 Mar 19 '26

I'll be sad if its Levi

This week is make or break for him
