Episode 4: Pinkie to the rescue!

Do you know your cosmetics? Susan and Vincent confidently proclaimed their familiarity with the beauty industry during the latest task, although that was no guarantee of success in the muddy world of chocolate facials and 'winges'. Being in possession of an alluring pinkie seemed to do the trick for one candidate though…

Not even a fake fringe would have shielded failed Project Manager Felicity from the barrage of criticism she faced in the boardroom prior to her firing. "Felicity got eaten for breakfast by Ellie and Natasha!" tweeted tripleseis. It didn't help that Natasha had earlier marketed the hair-enhancing product by comparing it to a "pet hamster".

Mr Notepad-Calculator, as Nick dubbed him, "ditched his Clark Kent glasses for the beauty task," remarked Adgad. Perhaps he hoped that Lord Sugar wouldn't recognise him later in the boardroom if he slipped them back on? Wrong. For Tom and Vincent were both likened to "a couple of stalkers" by Lord Sugar after they endured another task failure. "Vincent just got owned by Lord Sugar big time!" laughed AlexNoble93 following the comment about his orangey complexion.

As for the winning team, Susan came in for a lot of criticism from the online community. The eager candidate's frequent mentions of her vocational past led Amit_mandalia to suggest a "new drinking game for every time Susie mentions she works in skincare". For health reasons, we can't recommend that! On the flipside, Misstorydesigns wrote: "Still love Suzie, everyone forgets that she was the one that got the spray tan treatment which made them the profit."

"Leon is becoming a star!" stated Ian Streames. Many were impressed by his growing confidence throughout the task – and he also might have started a new craze with his sales tactics! "I loved Leon's finger trick to get the customers!" praised Kate March. "I wonder how many guys are gonna try Leon's pinkie trick in a bid to pull!" pondered smoliver23.

The massage element of the task provided plenty of mirth. As Potts93 pointed out: "False tan: £35. Massage: £1-a-minute. The look on that guy's face when Jedi Jim ran into the treatment room: Priceless!" Meanwhile, sensisuperstar felt that "Zoe could massage the clients to sleep with her monotone voice..."

Anyway, it's time to say goodbye – which is more than Ellie and Natasha did to Felicity. Maybe they were too busy trying to remember what Susan used to do for a living. What was it again?
