In November, Leeds received a welcome visit from the snow. This photo is taken on University Campus.

The Apprentice, Series 6, Episode 10

Getting closer to the final, who will crumble under the pressure, like a crumbly cookie?

Jamie answers the phone, shot of Chris in towel brushing his teeth. Wandsworth Bus Garage, 30 minutes. Chris questions..."what does that mean?" Indeed, what will the link be this time?...

"It's like walking into a room of knives blindfolded really. You don't know if you are going to get cut" says Stuart. Chris smiles. Yep, I've seen the previews...you won't be smiling later...

Has Chris had a haircut?

Bus garage = bus tour - ok link.

I can see Stella and Liz are ecstatic about getting Stuart on their team... :)

Stuart as PM again - hope he won't get too "knackered".

Stuart and Liz cross swords with Stella and her cockney idea.

Jamie says "ghouls and ghosts" in creepy voice.

"Stuart and Liz go in search for cockneys..." complete with bad cockney accents

"Get your bees and honey out!" says Stuart. Why?

Jo gives Jamie a dressing down, like a mother to son...

Liz and Stuart get called patronising when pitching to a jellied eel stall. Good start guys.

Stella can be "fun and silly"...

"London bridge" - relations between Jamie and Jo are falling down. Jamie thinks that he and Jo are going to go to the pub...DUH! Another Jamie moment...

Jamie plays chicken in order to get away from Jo. (What happened to Chris?) Jamie and Jo argue....Jo talks down to Jamie like mother. Nick looks like he is having fun in the middle of the argument...couldn't he step in to stop this??

There is Chris! He offers 20% of total sales to Tour Company - hopefully it won't be the downfall of the team (and the curse of Chris strikes again) They get chosen as the Tour as the Day.

"Come to London! Have a taste of my jellied eels! Jellies" Creepy Stuart trying to sell tickets.

Jamie suggests detailed description of death. Chris says "I wouldn't bring that up mate"

Jamie to Chris (in tour uniform): "You look really nice"

Jo gets called unprofessional at the Tour Company.

Jamie talks french...nice... :)

Jamie runs the bus tour. Nick looks frustrated at his River Thames commentary. Stuart tries to pinch Jo's customers.

what is "20 diameters in width"? Big Ben is that wide! -Jamie

Westminster Abbey - "you can go there, and well...its a church" - Jamie

Stuart hangs around the Tour Centre - how professional. He is about to get moved on...argues with woman.

"Ghost hunt with Jamie" - 4 dreaded words.

"It''s called a Gherkin, because it looks like a Gherkin"

Larry the Pearly King - wearing what it closest to national uniform. Gag.

Stuart - "look at Chris sliming away at those girls"

Stuart tells Chris to hit him. "That's professional" says Stuart, he is one to talk! (Evidence: the whole series)

Stella is trying to be less wooden and more smiley...it seems so obviously unnatural. She gets the group lost, and has to ask for directions. In the end, she ends the walking tour, for fear of being tired of walking.

"My name is Jamie, and I do not bite"

Stella's bus is lacking people, and she is missing the landmarks to talk about. Still man at front finds it funny.

Jamie is being theatrical in talking about Sweeney Todd...lots of detail...in front of children too.

Stella ends up showing group graffiti.

Jamie - singsong of London's Burning...oh my ga

Stella - Mother Brown - only guy at front with bad teeth sings along. One woman looks embarrased, hanging her head in shame.

Ooh a prezzo.

Jamie's last tour has no people!

Stuart and Liz are selling ticket by ticket - last tour bus is full.

Not sure who will win - close call. 20% could be downfall...if they lose, Chris will be fired. (I say that so many times...)

Nick compliments Jamie's tours.

Jamie: "my...my...my...my..."

Chris gulps as Jamie and Jo criticise his pitch.

Stella was passionate about cockney tours, but Karren brings up

"mutual respect" - Stuart - what are you on about? (On trafalgar square debacle)

om my ga...chris's gamble actually paid off - his team wins...prize - oyster picking in jersey, with added meal. He is ecstatic, as are Jo and jamie.

Could Stuart be fired? I cannot fault anyone else for why Apollo lost. Everyone else blames Stuart. Stuart blames everybody. Ha.

Jamie is now doing a plane tour...Chris eats a good oyster.

I suspect that Stuart may try to blame Stella for theme. Pricing - bad (stuart's fault).

Sugar praises Chris for "shrewd business move" whilst before jamie and jo were crying out!

Sugar calls into question Liz's business and marketing knowhow.

He then accuses Stella of taking the easy job in this task.

He sends everyone out.I think Stella and Liz will be saved. Stuart will be gone...Hasta la vista stuart. Nick tries to stir things up - "you could always get rid of two"

Stuart "I will make you so proud of me

Sugar gold : "a fly's got lots of enthusiasm but it doesn't stop headbutting the window"

Stuart - "we can start a new company"

"i'm not a one trick pony, i'n not a 10-trick pony, i have a field of ponies"

Stella can't stifle a laugh.

Stuart thinks he can be "harnessed" by Sugar. Stuart is full of soundbites.

Liz's speech is not as funny...it's kind of boring. snooze.........

Stella has gone from being homeless to being where she is now. Calls Stuart useless in practical context.

We hear Stuart's life story. And the yo yos again. Lots of hot air - think of climate change remember!

Does Sugar see himself in Stuart?!

If stuart gets fired, the show will sorely miss him.

Stella is the person who has won the most (no guesses of who has lost the most)

Liz going to get fired? Did Stu's speech work? You can see the horror in Liz's eyes! And she was the favourite...Could Stuart actually win?!

"Stuart, he may be the new Lord Sugar. We'll have to wait and see" - Liz

Chris gets it wrong, as does Jo - Liz has gone!!!! Everyone thinks Stuart has been fired.

Jo is outraged that Liz has gone.

Next time: it is raining. Interviews - "you're not a big fish. you're not even a fish", interview are notoriously harsh. Till next week!
