Apprentice star Kimberly Davis is sacked
New Yorker Kimberly Davis has become the latest candidate to be sacked from The Apprentice - and said in the real world she would have fired Philip Taylor and Lorraine Tighe from her team herself.
Last night's show saw candidates tasked to create a cereal brand, a character, design some packaging, put together a marketing campaign and film a TV advert.
Marketing consultant Davis, 33, headed up Ignite, while Kate Walsh was in charge of Empire.
Team Empire came up with the idea of a "Parrot Pirate", while Ignite bickered and Taylor bulldozed his character "Pants Man" through, despite Tighe's protestations.
Speaking after the show, Davis, who took feuding Taylor and Tighe back with her into the boardroom, said: "If this was the real world, I had my own company and if any of these behaviours had started up in the real world I would have had one conversation with them I would have given them a warning.
"And if they'd kicked off again I would have dismissed them from my team... I do not tolerate that kind of behaviour in the real world.
"But unfortunately this is a game and you have to keep in mind that you have to keep your team motivated and you have to try to stay positive and have to try to get them to all get along because if you don't, you know, that kind of breaches the rules of the games."
Davis thought that not playing the show like a game helped in her downfall.
She said: "I didn't play this like a game. I played this like a business interview... without bitching and moaning and that kind of worked against me."
Having spent so much time arguing, Ignite left themselves with no time left to design their own box and in a last-minute panic left the designers to come up with the idea.
With no design on the back of the cereal box, Ignite were left to rely on "Pants Man" and Taylor's self-penned jingle.
