The 仕事 伴う／関わるd designing a 瓶／封じ込める for the 製品 and creating a television and 無線で通信する advert.

But Lord Sugar was 都合よく underwhelmed by the group's 業績／成果 - telling them they were 井戸／弁護士席 off the 示す with their 黒人／ボイコット and red coloured Germ-O-Nator 製品.

However the 競争相手 group - Synergy - led by ex-海洋 Christopher Farrell didn't fare much better.

In the boardroom, Lord Sugar told th e team they had 'not 正確に／まさに won' but they 'hadn't lost'.

対決: Lord Sugar and his assistants Karen Brady and Nick Hewer said both teams 成し遂げるd 不正に in the 仕事

He said their 製品 - Octi-Klean was better conceived than the other team's, にもかかわらず a poor advertising （選挙などの）運動をする.

Epstein's team were also cr iticised for their poor advert, which also 関心d 産業 専門家s.

It featured a burly man trying to clean a surface, before a child arrived with two 瓶／封じ込めるs of the surface spray in 手渡す, 布告するing: 'You need the Germ-O-Nator.'

But Karen Brady pointed out that it was a terrible idea to associate a きれいにする 製品 with a young child.

The team that didn't lose: Team Synergy, from left, leader Christopher Farrell, Stella English, Joanna Riley, Liz Locke and Jamie Lester

The 非難する for this was placed squarely on Alex, with Laura Moore 主張するing she had 警告するd him of this but that he didn't listen.

It ended up with Lord Sugar 選ぶing the final three to 直面する his wrath, rather than the team leader as is usual.

He chose Chris Bates, who has 成し遂げるd 井戸／弁護士席 in 最近の weeks, but was criticised for trying to take over the 仕事, and Sandeesh Samra.

The actual losers: From left, Chris, Laura Moore, Stuart Baggs, Alex and, behind, Sandeesh Samra

にもかかわらず 存在 賞賛するd for her strong pitching 技術s in the 仕事, it was felt she had 与える／捧げるd the least, meaning she （機の）カム in the 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing line again. Laura and Stuart Baggs were let off.

But Sandeesh escaped by the 肌 of her teeth, with Chris and Alex 存在 the final two waiting to hear their 運命／宿命 in what turned out to be a 緊張した boardroom 対決.

It was only his 跡をつける 記録，記録的な／記録する which saved him, with Alex, who had his 長，率いる on the 封鎖する last week too, 結局 存在 given the axe.

扱う／治療する: Even though Synergy didn't fare much better in Lord Sugar's opinion, they were still 扱う／治療するd to a karaoke 開会／開廷／会期

Lord Sugar 解雇する／砲火／射撃d the marketing professional after 説 he was 'lost as to why, on this, a 仕事 which you are supposed to be a n 専門家 in, went so miserably wrong.'

Ahead of the 緊張した scenes, テレビ視聴者s saw the winning team enjoying their 扱う／治療する - a karaoke 開会／開廷／会期 laid on by Lord Sugar.

But they had not escaped 無傷の, with Lord Sugar laying into them for their terrible 広告 （選挙などの）運動をする.

Stepping 今後: Sandeesh was 賞賛するd for her pitch for team Apollo, but was criticised for not 与える／捧げるing much more to the 仕事

It saw t eam leader Christopher play the husband to an attractive brunette - a 雇うd actress - who played a stay-at-home mother.

'Husband' Christopher returns home from work, has dinner with his family, before his 'wife', at one point seen dressed in an octopus outfit, cleans the house.

He then makes a suggestive 発言／述べる about how 'eight 手渡すs are better than two' as he snuggles up to her on the sofa.

The outdated 広告 wasn't a 攻撃する，衝突する with テレビ視聴者s either. Twitter was awash with reaction, with one 使用者 called Zara commenting: 'The 見習い工 - I just threw up at the Octi-Klean 広告. Vom!!!'

Open ears: 産業 専門家s listened on as the teams pitched, but were not that 納得させる by either of the advertising （選挙などの）運動をするs

However another tweeter, called LightbulbDesign saw the humour in it, 地位，任命するing: 'Octi-Klean - awful 概念, but it's got 脚s.'

In the after interview, 審査するd on The 見習い工: You're 解雇する／砲火／射撃d, loser Alex said he was 'too creative' for Lord Alan Sugar's 商売／仕事s.

The marketing 顧問 said that he and the 大君 would have 'not seen 注目する，もくろむ-to-注目する，もくろむ' had they ended up working together.

Bad 概念: The Germ-O-Nator 製品 featured a child 持つ／拘留するing the 製品, which team Apollo were carpeted for in the boardroom

Cheesy: Stuart 記録，記録的な／記録するs a 発言する／表明する-over for the 無線で通信する 広告 for the 製品

Epstein, who lives in Manchester and whose catchline was 'Be different. When everyone is zigging, you should zag,' said that Lord Sugar made the 権利 決定／判定勝ち（する）.

He said: 'With Lord Sugar, what you see is what you get. He's very direct. If I worked with Lord Sugar we'd grate on each other. We wouldn't see 注目する，もくろむ-to-注目する，もくろむ at the end of the day.

'I think I'm too creative for Lord Sugar's 商売／仕事s.'

He 追加するd: 'I do have a lot of 尊敬（する）・点 for Lord S ugar. I had to go through the 過程 to realise that (working with each other was not a good idea).

Brainstorming: Stella and Liz talk ideas about their Octi-Klean きれいにする 製品

'Having been on the show and experienced Lord Sugar first-手渡す I now know it wouldn't have been the best fit.'

He 追加するd: 'I'm not too bitter. I'm 罰金....I was やめる happy to leave the 過程 when I did.'

He said the 仕事s on the BBC1 show were not 現実主義の because they were compressed into such a short period of time.

Out of date: Their 広告 featured team leader Christopher with an attractive brunette wife who the team joked looked more like she should play his daughter

Hitting a bum 公式文書，認める: The 広告 featured suggestive 示すs, with Christopher 説 'eight 手渡すs are better than two' while snuggling up to his housewife

He said: 'I don't think it's 現実主義の all the time... but I'm not having a dig at that. Some of the 仕事s are 抱擁する undertakings and because of the nature of the programme you have to do things in a very short timescale. It makes it even more of a challenge.'

Epstein is now 焦点（を合わせる）d on 開始する，打ち上げるing his own 商売／仕事, and 作品 as a marketing 顧問 for 私的な （弁護士の）依頼人s.

He said he was also rehired in his communications 役割 by the company that made him redundant before he went on The 見習い工.

Oh dear: At one point the actress 雇うd to play the wife was dressed in an octopus 衣装 as she cleaned
