THE Apprentice has been thrown into a fix row after one contestant who was on the losing team got saved again.
Fans flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, when they saw Phil Turner avoided getting fired once again.
In the latest episode Maura Rath and Raj Chohan got fired in an intense double firing.
Phil was part of their team and managed to avoid firing, despite consistently being on the losing side every week up to now.
One fan tweeted: “Phil survived AGAIN? This has to be a fix.
“There’s absolutely no reason for him to still be there.”
Whilst another added: “Genuinely don’t understand how Phil is still here…”
“How the f*** did Phill stay hasn’t won once?,” penned a third.
And fourth eagle-eyed fan claiming to know why Phil got saved wrote: “I’ll say it time and time again, Lord Sugar knows everyone’s business proposals and Phil’s must be top-notch despite him losing every task. Lord Sugar knew his final 3 day one of filming.”
This week the classic TV shopping task made a comeback on show.
The candidates had to sell directly to the public on a major shopping channel.
Lord Sugar wasn’t happy with Raj and Maura’s performance and held them responsible for the team’s failure to complete the task well.
In the boardroom, Lord Sugar said to the pair: “This is a selling task, your selling skills Raj, although you say are good, were not good in this case… but the salesmanship was no good whatsoever.
“Maura, I’m sorry Maura but you turned people off, created complaints. I think the project manager should have pulled you when she watched you and saw you doing it.
“And for that reason, Raj, I’m sorry, but I think you are responsible for the failure of this task and therefore You’re Fired.”
Lord Sugar added: “Flo, you’ve taken responsibility for the price drop and Maura say’s its 50/50. Maybe me screaming and shouting and maybe you dropping the prices. I have to balance in my mind if its 50/50.
“Honestly, I don’t see it like that, I see it more 70/30. So, Maura it is with regret You’re Fired.”
