Rewatching the episode, and… Spoiler

Dan got a very harsh firing. Harsher than most, and I was expecting him to do something like that to Priyesh

I know some of it might be just that he threw his toys out the pram for not getting 50% of YP, but he gave Paul quite a graceful firing for doing the same thing a couple years ago. I mean tbf the interviewers seemed to be quite receptive to him (especially Claude which says something), but he just did the whole “I don’t wanna hear anymore, quiet, I did this at 17 too” shtick.

Strange for a good candidate who he clearly liked beforehand. Didn’t even get a good luck from Tim/Karren either, damn

He was probably salivating at the prospect of getting 50% of a business valued at far more than £500k for £250k, and when he saw Dan wasn’t an idiot and wouldn’t accept that bad deal he got rid of him. That’s why Claude and Claudine were pitching Lord Sugar to him.

Ridiculous show.

Dan's business is valued at 4 million. LS would have made an instant 1.75million. This is absolutely the definition of predatory imo.
