Shockwaves in The Boardroom
The tenth episode of The Apprentice aired on April 4, 2025, and left viewers with their jaws on the floor as Lord Sugar delivered an unexpected double firing. Set against a backdrop of future fashion with an eco-friendly twist, the task challenged aspiring business hopefuls to make their mark. Teams, named Parallel and Ascendancy, faced off to create a sustainable fashion sensation worthy of retail shelves.
Parallel, featuring contestants Chisola, Amber-Rose, and Dean, emerged as the frontrunner with their brainchild, RE-Apparel. The recycled plastic athleisure caught eyes and wallets alike, bagging them 2,150 units from retailers. Meanwhile, their rivals, Ascendancy, just couldn't hit the sweet spot. Led by Mia and Jordan, and featuring Liam among them, the team decided on a niche approach. Their line, Express-Up, aimed at the men's fashion scene, pushing boundaries with oversized skirts and crop tops, garnering just 1,160 units across six stores.
Sparking Outrage Among Fans
Ascendancy's bold fashion leap bore the brunt in the boardroom. Lord Sugar minced no words, lambasting their lack of broad appeal. In a turn of events that unfolded like a plot twist, he first cut Liam for his nonchalance and lackluster input. If fans needed a moment to recover, they didn't get it, because Mia, despite a commendable track record, was also shown the door. Her advocacy for the unique designs couldn't save her, and despite being a viewer favorite, her departure was sealed.
The fan community, especially the tweeters, took to their accounts with fervor, branding the double elimination a 'sensational fumble.' Many were left to wonder why Anisa faced no consequence despite being part of the unsuccessful team. The buzz didn't stop on X (formerly Twitter), with Instagram posts from Mia herself showing a reflective yet defiant tone. Acknowledging her own slip-up, she expressed pride for having gone the distance over the ten weeks.
This episode not only shook up the cast lineup but also set quite the complicated stage for what would be the next uphill battle—Interview Week. With Anisa and Jordan scraping through, the remaining contestants could almost taste the final showdown. Lord Sugar's decisive actions ignited discussions on fairness, strategy, and the unpredictable nature of competition in the boardroom. As avid followers know, The Apprentice never ceases to throw a wrench into the expected, always mixing surprise with the hustle of entrepreneurship.
