The Apprentice viewers have spotted an unfortunate pattern when it comes to who exits the hit show first. Lord Alan Sugar's search for his next business partner continued on Thursday night (January 12) and the 17 remaining candidates were hoping to do all they can to avoid those dreaded words - 'You're fired'.
During episode two, the remaining candidates were back on UK soil after a trip to Antiga and the two teams were tasked with making and selling bao buns. They needed to keep their costs low and profits high while impressing market customers and their corporate clients as they catered for two different events.
But by the end of the hour-long edition of the BBC One show, viewers saw a surprising double departure as Kevin D’Arcy received the firing treatment and Shannon Martin opted to leave the process early.
