Series Nine of The Apprentice (UK), a British reality television series, was broadcast in the UK during 2013 from 7 May to 17 July on BBC One. The ninth series saw the show revert to its original task layout prior to the seventh series, though with the finalists now having to promote their business idea before Lord Alan Sugar and a selection of experts for the final task. Sixteen candidates took part in the series, who named their teams Endeavour and Evolve, with Leah Totton winning the series.
Two specials aired alongside its broadcast towards the final weeks, and were new editions of "The Final Five" on 8 July, and "Why I Fired Them" on 11 July.

Week 1: Container
•Original Air Date: 7 May 2013 •Endeavour: Jason (Project Manager), Alex, Jordan, Kurt, Myles, Neil, Tim, and Zeeshaan. •Evolve: Jaz (Project Manager), Francesca, Leah, Luisa, Natalie, Rebecca, Sophie, and Uzma. •Task: Choose a variety of imported goods from a container, then sell them within sixteen hours. Most sales made, wins. •Task Review: Endeavour initially had a slow start, but managed to quickly sell reasonable quantities soon afterwards, although Myles wasted an hour after promising to find batteries for one of their products. The only issue faced was that Jason struggled to make himself heard, leaving Neil to make most of the decision, with his sub team selling more than Jason's. Meanwhile, Evolve's performance was mixed, as Jaz failed to provide any form of organisation, spent time motivating her team than devising a sales strategy, and allowed her sub-team to fall into chaos; not only did they arrive too at London's Chinatown district when the shops were all closed, they made a disorderly rush for retailers around Oxford Street, and wasted time attempting to sell to a store clerk who had no authorisation to make purchases. Despite Leah's sub-team doing far better thanks to Uzma's strong organisation, Jaz's poor leadership effectively ruined any chance of a victory. •Result: Endeavour made sales of £1,167.90, while Evolve made sales of £1,109.30. •Winner: Endeavour - By £58.60 •Reward: Being the first to see the candidates' house, and having a luxury meal there as a team. •Brought into the boardroom: Jaz, Sophie and Uzma •Fired: Jaz - For inefficient team leadership, hastily volunteering to lead the team, and focusing too much on one item and neglecting other products as a direct result. •You're Fired Panel: Jo Fairley, Matt Edmondson and Katherine Ryan •Notes: •Despite winning, Karren noted that Endeavour's dynamic was poor due to the men steam-rolling each other than working together, with no-one standing out. Jason received criticism for his leadership, with Myles critical of his sales approach, while Tim was accused of hiding, with Lord Sugar stating that it was pointless of him to make further discussions on this after the team's win was announced. Alex also forgot Neil's name when defending him against his team's criticism. Although Neil was credited for selling the most and leading his sub-team well, he was criticised for repeatedly undermining Jason and making a number of arguments, including one between himself and Zeeshaan over a phone conversation with the team's PM. •Along with hastily taking on the role of PM in the initial briefing without consulting with her team, Lord Sugar felt that there with other key factors that made it impossible for Jaz to continue in the process. Not only was her leadership terrible, her team criticised her for focusing on motivation than of strategy, she also was criticised for focusing on a hard-sell item, despite its high profits, and thus leaving multiple items and products unsold; those that were, did so at a very cheap price. •Although Sophie was given a warning for her poor sales, Lord Sugar noted that Natalie had not helped by hijacking her pitch of the Chinese lucky cats. He also agreed that, despite failing to sell anything, Uzma had been chiefly responsible for preventing further disaster by providing logistics and scheduling for Leah's sub-team, all of whom felt that Leah had ultimately done far better than Jaz in terms of PM, especially Luisa.
Week 2: Beer
•Original Air Date: 8 May 2013 •Endeavour: Kurt (Project Manager), Alex, Jason, Jordan, Myles, Neil and Zeeshaan. •Evolve: Tim (Project Manager), Francesca, Leah, Luisa, Natalie, Rebecca, Sophie and Uzma. •Task: Come up with a new flavour of beer and sell it. Most profit made, wins. •Task Review: Endeavour created a chocolate orange flavoured beer, thank to Kurt deciding on the flavour before his brewery team could finish with the branding, though production of the beer was generally smooth. However, the team's first pitch was a failure after they chose not to bring any samples, while Jason disrupted another by offering a customer a lower price than they had suggested. Despite this, the team enjoyed considerable business at a food and drinks festival thanks to a large footfall, and increased their sales further after slashing the high price for their beer. Meanwhile, Evolve created a rhubarb and caramel flavoured beer, though Francesca's miscalculations with the amount of rhubarb for the beer caused the team to waste some of their budget rectifying this, while making two of the kegs undrinkable. Despite performing well and selling large quantities to the trade, their attempt to sell at a "beer festival" went wrong when it turned out to only be taking place at a single pub, and later attempts to make a sale at a wine bar went similarly poorly. These problems ultimately cost them victory. •Result: Endeavour made a profit of £831.56, while Evolve made a profit of £399.02. •Winner: Endeavour - By £432.54 •Reward: A trip to Belgium with beer tasting. •Brought into the boardroom: Tim, Francesca and Rebecca •Fired: Tim - For his weak leadership, authorising a bad location, and for failing on a task his business plan was related to. •You're Fired Panel: Ed Byrne, Sara Cox and James Watt •Notes: •For this task, Lord Sugar appointed Kurt as Endeavour's project manager, due to his experience in the food and drink industry, while he moved Tim over to Evolve and made him the team's project manager, not only because of his business plan to set up a drink-based business, but also after he vowed to step up during the previous boardroom. •Despite his team winning, Lord Sugar found several faults in Kurt's leadership. Apart from his irregular pricing, his brewery team consisted of members who didn't drink beer (Zeeshaan not drinking for religious reasons, Jordan also only rarely drinking, and Jason only drinking wines and spirits) which Sugar felt had been a poor decision, while he did not approve of him making decisions on the brand name and flavour before they had arrived at the brewery; one ingredient for the flavour was strongly disliked by the sub-team. •Although Rebecca was not fired after she was revealed to have single-handedly brought in around 40% of Evolve's revenue, Lord Sugar felt she had been chiefly responsible for picking a poor location, while not approving of her attitude in the boardroom when she sparked an argument with Uzma and claimed that the other women were all conspiring against her. •The majority of the You're Fired audience, combined with the panel, disagreed with Lord Sugar's decision to fire Tim; feedback from the women showed they had enjoyed working with him, while Lord Sugar himself praised his enthusiasm, though remarked that he needed to "channel it in the right direction". While it was noted that Francesca's mathematical mistake did not cause Evolve to lose, the panel agreed that it was such a basic mistake that it should have been grounds for instant dismissal.
Week 3: Flat-Pack
•Original Air Date: 15 May 2013 •Endeavour: Jordan (Project Manager), Alex, Jason, Kurt, Myles, Neil and Zeeshaan. •Evolve: Natalie (Project Manager), Francesca, Leah, Luisa, Rebecca, Sophie and Uzma. •Task: Design a new unique piece of flat-pack furniture, and pitch it to retailers. Most orders received, wins. •Task Review: Endeavour went with a design for a chair that could easily convert into a table with storage shelves. Although there were a number of mistakes in their pitches, including Myles aiming the product at the wrong age market, Zeeshaan failing to sell anything in either of his two pitches and questions were raised over the prototype's styling and the height of its legs, the design was considered to innovative and secured the team vast orders. Meanwhile, Evolve went with a design for a cube-shaped table with multi-functional sides, though Natalie's attempt to listen to ideas meant no consensus was reached on what each side would feature. While their pitch was well executed, their prototype was felt to be unoriginal and unattractive; it earned praise for being easy to assemble without glue or tools, and for being utilised more as a table or a footstool. Ultimately, their complete failure to sell to any of the major chains proved their downfall, and led to them selling far less than Endeavour. •Result: Endeavour received 3,216 orders, while Evolve received 174 orders. •Winner: Endeavour - By 3,042 orders •Reward: Up at The O2 - Climb attraction at The O2 Arena. •Brought into the boardroom: Natalie, Sophie and Uzma •Fired: Sophie - For a lack of presence, making no significant contributions within the three tasks, and for showing no skills that Lord Sugar considered vital for starting a business. •You're Fired Panel: Andy Parsons, Karren Brady and Richard North •Notes: •Despite making the mistake of facing away from the buyers during his assembly demo in the pitches, Lord Sugar praised Alex for his design of Endeavour's product, informing him that it had been of the best designs he had ever seen on the show, though Nick commented that he likened it to an "electric chair". •Although Evolve were warned to improve their performance in the task briefing, Lord Sugar was disappointed that the women had suffered such a massive defeat, as the major retailers had commented that they had found their pitches to be excellent, but panned the product's design. Had Sugar not arranged the appointments with the major retailers, Endeavour would have still won from the sales to independent retailers alone, having gotten 216 orders from them compared to Evolve's 174. •Although Lord Sugar did not fire Natalie over her weak leadership and allowing Luisa to take over the task, or Uzma for being considerably out of touch with her design expertise and refusing to take any responsibility, he felt that both had done well to at try to step up their contributions unlike Sophie. However, both women were warned by him that he would be keeping an eye on them in their future efforts. •On You're Fired!, both the audience and two of the panellists agreed to Sophie's firing, while Andy Parsons felt that she had been unlucky and that Natalie should have been fired for her non-existent leadership. On Why I Fired Them, Lord Sugar noted that her fate was sealed when she gave a list of skills that were not her speciality, including designing, selling and giving presentations, which he considered essential for a new business, adding that her contribution with the market research had done nothing because of the lack of consensus on the product. •News of Sophie's firing was leaked prematurely, when a video clip featuring her as part of Matt Edmondson's Awkward Conversations was put onto the show's website a few hours before this episode was to air.
Jordan Poulton's Application
After the broadcast of the eleventh episode, Jordan Poulton openly admitted on Twitter, while thanking his supporters, that he had been "naive" and apologised for "wasting everyone's time", after it emerged during his interview with Claude Littner, that he had violated one of the show's contract rules prior to the series being filmed, which hadn't been properly checked by the show's production team. This rule stipulated that candidates cannot apply to appear on The Apprentice, if their business plan includes a company that they do not own or co-own.
