They are the most intolerable and moronic people I have come across..."Jason isn't holding back when it comes to his fellow contestants
"Let's head out, boys... and ladies..."Zee forgets his manners as project manager"Don't compare yourself to Lord Sugar. Don't compare yourself ever to him"Claude Littner sets the record straight for LuisaMargaret Mountford: "You've studied the greats in human history and cherry picked their knowledge, and as a result of that your role model is David Beckham…."Jordan Poulton: "I stand by that."Margaret (wryly): "Yes….."

I think it's adventurous, I think it's exciting, I think it's daring. I think it's unusual. When you see it on a label, you'll be like: 'Oooh, maybe I should try that. Is it going to sting my mouth?"Jordan’s idea for a nettle flavoured beer didn’t go down too well with the other candidates"I'm really sorry, my brain's confused with litres and grammes and stuff"Francesca questions whether her maths makes sense during the flavoured beer task"It's a fine line between confidence and being a bit cocky"Lord Sugar gives Neil Clough a piece of his mind in the boardroom"Can I just remind you that this is not a football match?"Lord Sugar’s love of football is quickly dismissed when it comes to Jordan’s boardroom celebration"A Bitter This?
