Lord Sugar stunned viewers with a triple firing in the latest episode 6 of The Apprentice<\/a> after a disastrous corporate away day task in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The BBC One series<\/a> contestants got another trip abroad in episode six of the 20th anniversary series, but failed to impress with team-building experience days littered with problems.<\/p>\n

One team went for a desert dune adventure while the others offered a lagoon trip, and each team also had to cater their corporate client away day. Neither team carried it off without a hitch, but the lagoon team were significantly poorer performers.<\/p>\n

\"Negotiations<\/p>\n

Negotiations were tense in the losing team.<\/p>\n

Despite project manager Megan Ruiter having 25 corporate events under her belt from her day job, she led her team to a $290 loss after clients asked for a 50% refund for being served raw, cold food and for being left to eat dinner in wet clothes following the kayaking trip.<\/p>\n

Lord Sugar called it one of the worst performances in a corporate hospitality task he had ever seen, and fired Megan along with her teammates, Carrington Saunders and Andrea Cooper.<\/p>\n

Lord Sugar and his aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell are keen to make the 20th series one to remember \u2013 and what could be more memorable than a triple firing, drastically whittling down the remaining candidates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Megan was an obvious target given her experience in corporate events and her role as project manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was absolutely devastated,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI felt like there was a lot more that I could have shown to Lord Sugar. I feel like there was a lot more tasks where I could have shown more of the skill set that I’ve got. When I got fired, I was absolutely gutted and especially to be fired on a task that, on paper, is my most ideal task.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrington might have been responsible for the raw potato wedges, but she said, \u201cI don’t think I deserved to be fired. I made a mistake. The show isn’t based on your cooking skills; it is based on your business skills. So, that’s upsetting and also because I actually can cook! However, I suppose that the refunds were so high, it does make sense to an extent, but I don’t think I really deserved it, no.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Andrea<\/p>\n

Andrea Cooper was fired for clashing during a negotiation.<\/p>\n

Lord Sugar also pointed the finger at Andrea for clashing with Kieran McCartney during a negotiation.<\/p>\n

She confessed: \u201cIt were a terrible task for me, it were another one where I was in the kitchen, which is just not my forte at all. I’m not saying I was surprised because by my calculations, it could have possibly been a triple firing that week. But if there were only going to be one or two fired, I didn’t think that it should have been me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shock move from the business mogul leaves 11 candidates still in the process next week.<\/p>\n

The Apprentice continues on BBC One at 9pm on Thursdays and streams on iPlayer.<\/p>\n
