A call to the house at 6:30am woke the candidates, notifying them to meet at Hackney Town Hall. Here, Sir Alan told candidates they will be creating greeting cards for a special event, which they see as marketable.
Kevin is team leader for Renascence this week, with Michael team leader for Alpha. Renascence soon got to work developing ideas for their cards, with Jenny suggesting a card for saving the environment. Better make sure those cards are using 100% recycled card hey Jenny! Team Alpha decided on a Single’s Day theme for their cards, to go against the grain of Valentine’s Day.
The next day, and it was time for both teams to begin shooting photos for their themes. Renascence have a naked rear to show wind power for Environment Day, whilst Alpha have pictures of single mums for Single’s Day.
3:30pm, and the photo shoot has finished. Both teams were finalising their presentations, ready to pitch to major card retailers; Clinton Cards, Tesco and Celebrations. Alpha pitched first and quickly ran into problems by setting the retail date of 13th February, the day before Valentine’s Day. Equally, Renascence were being questioned over why sending a greetings card would be the best method to spread the word about environmental issues!
Boardroom time, and Sir Alan revealed that Alpha were the prize winners this week, which prompted an outburst from team leader Michael. As winners, Alpha were treated to a musical piece from Myleene Class back at the house. Still in the boardroom, Renascence were coming under fire for choosing the environmental topic to sell greetings cards. Sir Alan questioned why the topic was chosen as Jenny, who created the idea, also admitted earlier she was buying fewer cards to reduce waste and the subsequent environmental impact!
However, Kevin brought back Claire and Sara to form the final three in the Boardroom, leaving Jenny to get off scott-free and return to the house! Coming under scrutiny, Kevin was finding it hard to dodge the responsibility not having brought Jenny back into the final round of the boardroom. Therefore, Kevin, aka Matt Lucas, You’re Fired!
