+Footballfan Jordan's interview was probably the most creepy in terms of music. First it had soft music after Claude said "This isn't your business!" (0:17) then came more tense after he said "You're only prepared to yield 15.39% equity" (0:56) then finally more tense at 1:15. Then after he says "You can leave now" it finally comes more tense then at 1:22 goes back to soft.
Yep, there's only ever a handful of genuine candidates capable of winning, the rest are there for entertainment. They probably know themselves tbh, and hope to use the little bit of TV fame to get somewhere.
@@shaolinsecrets Judging by the fact this was over 4 years ago, I suspect this was my first interview post-uni. Nerves got the better of me since I'm mostly an introvert and so there were too many answers that were more like stuttering ramblings, and so I didn't succeed. But the interview I did a week later was a success, and it was a much nicer workplace environment for that matter too. I've been riding strong to this day ever since, so it worked out alright in the end 😅
Claude was absolutely smack bang on the button. I loved seeing Jordan getting ruthlessly cut down to size in a similar way to that of a runaway freight train smashing into a tractor trailer unit
There's some continuity editing done by the producers here. After his rant, Claude clearly says "Frankly, this interview is terminated. You can leave now", to which Jordan replied "can I defend myself before I leave?" Claude would have just said "no" which isn't quite as impactful. So they reordered it so Jordan asks "can I defend myself before I leave ?" first. Why would he ask that when there's no indication that Claude is terminating the interview yet?
+ShaiyaStudios To be fair, that could have been what actually happened as let's face it, chances were he was going to be thrown out. But, I can see why you might think it's a continuity error.
Jordan is the sort of person who’d do nothing but try to take all the credit for someone else’s work. Claude had him sussed in seconds, it was good to see him get his bubble burst.
Ah yes, another budding middle manager: can't make anything, hasn't developed any real skills, other than talking bullshit. These types of people live in fear of being exposed for what they are: useless people who can't do anything. They're also very poor managers because they resent employees who _can_ do something and make them suffer for it.
The problem is average-intelligence people take management courses and this somehow qualifies them to manage pretty much anywhere they so choose, even in industries where employees have had to take a specific, difficult degree to work there. This results in intelligent people being 'managed' aka abused by idiots who don't have the interest or mental capacity to understand the work their employees are undertaking
Valelacerte Well said. The apprentice is full of these people. It’s embarrassing. Clueless morons that just have money symbols in their eyes. Everything they say is pure shit
For those saying that the BBC set this up, you could be right.. Or it could just be that this is the first time anyone has seen these business plans and the candidates are selected based on CVs/interviews etc
Then that's even more of a problem, if they are just letting people onto the show without an idea of their actual backgrounds or what's in their business plans. Either way, it demonstrates a problem with the show if people like him are allowed on in place of legit contenders.
In the previous episode, I was very surprised at the time that Sugar let him stay and fired Miles instead, as didn’t he say that there was a mysterious third man or something? If ‘entertainment’ and the prospect of him getting shredded by Claude wasn’t a factor, he clearly would have been fired then ! I think he did very well during the first 5 tasks, so he looked to be a credible candidate before all this came to light.
+Adam Walker Interviewer definitely. I think this is because it's just him and the contestant, so you feel like the contestant is in more danger. It's also in a highly scary situation (an interview) so that adds to it.
But then again, it is difficult to comb through a bunch of business plans, because plenty of people apply. And if it was about the business plan from the start, there would be no need for the process at all. So it makes for a good show.
The business plan is very important, but all the tasks before hand are to prove to Lord Sugar and his advisors that they can actually run a business after Sugar has invested his time, money and advice to it, so it was a waste of a spot. As no matter how well or rubbish he would of done in the tasks, he never would of won since he was a fraud, he didn't even have a business and I believe the business plans should be checked before the show to see if people actually at least have a business idea that they can pitch in the interviews.
What I don't understand is that, during the selection process for suitable candidates, surely Alan & his team, along with the show producers or whoever, must read through at least PART of the candidates' business background? They must at least have to conduct interviews and talk a little bit about their experience in the business world, because I honestly don't know how Jordan would have gotten this far without any of them knowing that his "business" didn't belong to him.
I don't think he honestly understands how business investments work but thinks he does. By the looks of things he thought that he could negotiate the deal and bring Lord Sugar into the business, probably to further his own career or improve his own standing with the business he has no authority over. It'd be interesting to know if the actual stakeholders of the business knew he was doing this, or if he decided to do it himself and just convince them and Lord Sugar to go along with it. He thought he was smarter than everyone, basically.
Well, I think his actions were not only against the rules of The Apprentice, but also illegal - trying to obtain a pecuniary advantage by deception - s.16 of the Theft Act 1968.
Why did they even let him get that far? Doesnt make sense. I love the show but the prize is often worth nothing as most leave without furthering their career.
Frankly, the plans are only a fragment of the puzzle. This is because the candidates are being interviewed by the BBC and NOT Sugar himself, the interviewing process is based on what they can provide for the show. It's a little bit flawed since Sugar has no idea until the BBC has selected them. In this case, the BBC let him through even though his plan was flawed, in the basis that he provides a spectacle for the viewers, it is a reality show after all.
In terms of performance Jordan was the best, I'm pretty sure he won all but 2 taks he was involved in, but obviously when they showed his plan he was the first to go
Dave Weaving Well I watched them and the fact is he took charge several times even when he wasn't team leader and infact received a lot of praise for his performance. It's not like he just happened to be on the winning team all but two times. The whole point of this show is to highlight the candidates abilities. The idea that he was just lucky is ridiculous
@@davidmcginness6718 - having recently re-watched the series, I would question whether you are getting Jordan confused with Neil Clough? It was he, not Jordan, who kept taking charge when not the project manager. Jordan didn't receive all that much praise either TBH
Fully agree. Exclusively for the interview stage!! Not the same now we see him all the time. The mystery is gone now. I've even seen him smile somewhere.
Even if the BBC set him up for a fall (which I can totally believe) he still only has himself to blame for being stupid / arrogant (both?!) enough to even try and pull off that stunt in the first place...
Solomon, who could only produce for his business plan 2 pages of logos was certainly pretty useless, but this Jordan bloke ought to have been done for a breach of s.16 of the Theft Act 1968 - attempting to obtain a pecuniary advantage by deception, an offence that carries prison time.
it used to be that the winner of the show would get work for lord sugar in one of his companies but now its all about being his business associate. I was never sure what exactly the job description was if you got to work for him. this series made Katie Hopkins. think I'm gonna puke
Sugar probably starts off with one or two candidates that he knows have some potential to be his business partner and the rest are just fodder who can be good for entertainment.
You know I would think the same as all in the comments but there is something that humanises these people when you meet them (obvious statement I guess) and I met him in shoreditch at a company he works for, his colleague says Jordan doesn't like talking about his experience at the apprentice, which I can see why... but now somehow all of the comments see.... well... nasty.. Idk 🤷♂️
He meant half of the 15%. Yes, that's right 7.5%. But you won't even believe how big 1% is because we aim to be bigger than Amazon. So your 7.5% will be worth far more than anyone else's 50%. Come on take the deal.
"Hi I'm Jordon"
"I know you are"
Wow. That got off to a good start XD
+Footballfan Jordan's interview was probably the most creepy in terms of music. First it had soft music after Claude said "This isn't your business!"

Rude bastard even if you are going to give someone a grilling you don't have to behave like that.
It shows how fake this programme is. No professional would ever be so rude in an interview.
@@awinbisa Of course they wouldn't. It's entertainment.
Hello*
92 seconds of the reason why the BBC let Jordan on the apprentice
Was totally worth it. LOL.
You mean they don’t read these business plans before the show starts? 😉
Yep, there's only ever a handful of genuine candidates capable of winning, the rest are there for entertainment. They probably know themselves tbh, and hope to use the little bit of TV fame to get somewhere.
I'll thump you.
Love the way he rings the part about 15.39 % equity MAD!
TemplePhantom NO!!!!
Makes me laugh every time I watch this clip 🤣🤣🤣
And how many times it’s underlined 😂
i'd love to be able to dish out an intelligent bollocking like that!!!!!!!!
Then you are a sadist
+tikletik probably!!!!!!!!LOL
me too
Same here. Claude is such an inspiration!
I wish I was a fly on the wall when he read and subsequently and repeatedly circled "15.39%" and carved "mad" and NO!" next to it
The writing around the 15.39% bit was the funniest
Mad! No! Huge circles.
That Jordan Poulton was a right slimeball,and I was absolutely ecstatic when Claude ruthlessly cut him down to size
The show is crafted in such a way. Else, he's doing better than you.
@@AminTheMystic
Do you take pride in being a patronising twat?
@@seventeenseconds1698 Thats one of the best comebacks I've heard in ages 😂
Tbf he is likely doing better than all of use to get that far on the apprentice 🤣
@@seventeenseconds1698 - That is one of the best comebacks I've seen on CZcams
Can I just say - well done
I love how next to the circled 15.39%, Claude's written 'Mad!'.
Hahahaha, they saw his business plan and kept him in the show just for that moment.
That's savage.
Yeah
Claude is so fantastic.
Great man.
Ahahaa
What a lad
he could lose the double chin
He is full of shit
That smirk was wiped off his face as he sat down I loved this bit
After having a bad interview today myself, it's somewhat comforting to know that it can be A LOT worse! 😅
Oh no...what happened? I assume you didn't get the job. I was thinking the same. I have had at least 2 bad interviews but this was much worse.
@@shaolinsecrets Judging by the fact this was over 4 years ago, I suspect this was my first interview post-uni.

@@theshyguitarist4536glad it worked out for you! We’ve all had at least 1 bad one, I know I have 😅. But none this bad aye? 😛
Claude is a legend
Claude was absolutely smack bang on the button.
I loved seeing Jordan getting ruthlessly cut down to size in a similar way to that of a runaway freight train smashing into a tractor trailer unit
He got turnitined! 😂 plagiarism 😂
I'm in awe of how politely and eloquently Claude eviscerated this guy 😅
I'm amazed he was allowed on the show. Not to mention how lucky he was to get as far as he did.
There's some continuity editing done by the producers here. After his rant, Claude clearly says "Frankly, this interview is terminated. You can leave now", to which Jordan replied "can I defend myself before I leave?" Claude would have just said "no" which isn't quite as impactful.
So they reordered it so Jordan asks "can I defend myself before I leave ?" first. Why would he ask that when there's no indication that Claude is terminating the interview yet?

Jordan walks in confidently.
Jordan spends just over a minute with Claude
Jordan leaves, extremely shaken and shell shocked.
If the last words you spoke in your interview were: 'Can I defend myself before I leave?'- you know it went badly lol
Jordan is the sort of person who’d do nothing but try to take all the credit for someone else’s work. Claude had him sussed in seconds, it was good to see him get his bubble burst.
Is it possible that he was allowed to reach this stage of the process just so he could receive that beating?
100% the reason why.
Ah yes, another budding middle manager: can't make anything, hasn't developed any real skills, other than talking bullshit.

Valelacerte
Well said. The apprentice is full of these people. It’s embarrassing. Clueless morons that just have money symbols in their eyes. Everything they say is pure shit
This is always my favourite episode of the series, the interviews :D
I've met men just like the man that interviewed Jordan. His heart must have been in his mouth, he knew he was fucked.
It is a shame that this guy got that far in the process
Good you been caught red handed. The best thing about the show is the interview.
Jordan "Hello, I'm Jordan"
Claude "I know you are but what am i?"
Why did they allow him to appear on the programme if he didn't understand that it was a 50/50 partnership? ... oh wait
Exactly Bro. Even this year he let go of the short hair girl last week because he thought her business was crap.
+Philip Stirups The program is more about the show and pantomime than business.
What short hair girl, last week?
I think he went in with the producers believing that and then hoped that his sneaky detail in the business plan would be overlooked
For those saying that the BBC set this up, you could be right.. Or it could just be that this is the first time anyone has seen these business plans and the candidates are selected based on CVs/interviews etc

Gotta love Claude. He tells it like it is.
Thing is the BBC have a casting team who would've seen that and let him on anyway just so Claude could give him an entertaining seeing to
The signs were there - he highlighted in an earlier episode that he was in partnership with other individuals.
0:21 "Mm-hm?" What does "mm-hm" mean? That line had me in stitches 😂😂😂 and the part where he said he got to page 45 in his 52 page diatribe 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely brilliant
Claude ripped him a new one.
Claude tore this fool another a******!
Claude was actually quite calm imo. I would've lost it.
Claude put a smile on your face
In the previous episode, I was very surprised at the time that Sugar let him stay and fired Miles instead, as didn’t he say that there was a mysterious third man or something? If ‘entertainment’ and the prospect of him getting shredded by Claude wasn’t a factor, he clearly would have been fired then !
I think he did very well during the first 5 tasks, so he looked to be a credible candidate before all this came to light.
Jordan got slayed
This aint as harsh as solomons that was just funny lol
+Mohammed Ashraf He caught Solomon off guard.
Lol best apprentice moments ever but he seems very calm as alan sugars aide on this seasons apprentice
I don't know where's he's scarier. When he's an interviewer or as Lord Sugar's adviser.
+Adam Walker Interviewer definitely. I think this is because it's just him and the contestant, so you feel like the contestant is in more danger. It's also in a highly scary situation (an interview) so that adds to it.
Claude is such a nice calm guy as an aide i think in the interview he plays a bit of a part
52 page diatribe, that got me 😂😂
So that was checked after he was at the concluding stages of the show? LOL
gotta love claude
Shouldn't the TV producers check the business plans before allowing a person to enter the process ? Having Jordan in it is wasting everyones time.
Exactly. Somebody with a more legitimate business plan could have been in that final. Complete waste of a spot.
But then again, it is difficult to comb through a bunch of business plans, because plenty of people apply. And if it was about the business plan from the start, there would be no need for the process at all. So it makes for a good show.

They get to do the business plans in the week prior to the interviews, not at the application stage.
@@johnb6723 So no one has a business plan beforehand?
*My nigga thought it was dragons den*
Lmao @0:52 look at the annotations on the paper, 'Mad!, No' Hahaha
Malachi XD
If I walked into an interview and Claude was sat there I'd turn around 360 degrees, clap my hands and moonwalk out of there.
You mean 180 degrees? If you span 360 degrees you would just spin full circle.
@@Komicklepto But if he moonwalked after turning just 180 degrees Geoffrey would end up in Claude's lap.
That guy caught Claude on a really bad day. He tore that guy to shreds. xD.
Did he fart when he got up?!!?!! 1:19
Maybe.
Diatribe lol, now there's a word that could be useful in the future.
Jordan has a very doily walk
"Hello im jordan" Claude: I know you are. Classic Claude
This never quite added up to me. If it was not his business and the equity on offer was only 15%, how did he get into the final 16 in the first place?
Isn't it weird the interviews in Series 9 look like they were filmed at night?
It wasn't really an interview was it.
I'd say he wrote "Is he mad!?" or something similar.
"Hello, I’m Jordan”
"I know you are”
Seriously I know he’s ticked off but that is so rude
What I don't understand is that, during the selection process for suitable candidates, surely Alan & his team, along with the show producers or whoever, must read through at least PART of the candidates' business background? They must at least have to conduct interviews and talk a little bit about their experience in the business world, because I honestly don't know how Jordan would have gotten this far without any of them knowing that his "business" didn't belong to him.
lmao i lost it in the first 10 secs. u know that guy aint there to mess about loooool
Shouldn't this guy have seen this coming? He's a fraud. How does he expect not to get ripped into like this?
I don't think he honestly understands how business investments work but thinks he does. By the looks of things he thought that he could negotiate the deal and bring Lord Sugar into the business, probably to further his own career or improve his own standing with the business he has no authority over.

He should have known, and that is why he got demolished-you're right
Well, I think his actions were not only against the rules of The Apprentice, but also illegal - trying to obtain a pecuniary advantage by deception - s.16 of the Theft Act 1968.
How did Jordan even get on the programme? Did no one on the show even manage to get to page 45 before Claude did?
For entertainment.
😂😂😂😂😂 nice one Claude!
Jordan got owned
Have u got season 2 your fired show episodes?

He still does the interviews too
Fully agree. Exclusively for the interview stage!! Not the same now we see him all the time. The mystery is gone now. I've even seen him smile somewhere.
That was a "vs" as much as an anaconda vs a field mouse...

Like how Claude says “furthermore”
Quite utterly the most brutal 1:32 video on CZcams.
No, close but Claude ripping Solomon to shreds is the most brutal video ever.
Claude literally sliced up Jordan into pieces.
Still not as HARSH AS SOLOMONS INTERVIEW LOL
Truly brutal
I bet Jordan didn't expect that, SAVAGE!!
I am sure he did!!
We need Claude for Prime Minister
Years later, you get a hint that it's scripted.
Calm down Claude!
SLIMEBALL CUT ✂️ DOWN TO SIZE LOL
What a plonker. Good one Claude
He's right tho
Jordan is an utter joke
I think this was even worse than his interview with Solomon

lol
no doubt he was a very competent young man tho
BUSTED !!!!! 😂😂😂
"You're a parasite."
Ommmmmm!
