The remaining candidates are summoned to 70 St Mary Axe in the heart of the City of London to face the scrutiny of Lord Sugar's most trusted advisors, who are primed to pick apart their business plans.
Each candidate goes head-to-head with the business bigwigs as they battle to back their plans.
There's tough talking, turmoil and tears as bravado breaks, egos are eradicated, and business plans bulldozed.
In the boardroom, it's Lord Sugar's chance to give them a grilling. Only two can progress to the final. The rest are told, you're fired!
