The Apprentice lost another candidate tonight after Ruth Whiteley became the fourth hopeful to be sent packing by Lord Sugar.
The 47-year-old consultant got sent home after her team - led by Scott Saunders - made nearly £1,000 less than their rivals at a pet show.
And Ruth, who runs a consultancy training people how to sell, incurred Lord Sugar's wrath when she awkwardly failed to sell a single item.
"I don't dispute your enthusiasm but you claim to be a salesperson, you claim to train people how to sell - here we are in a sales task and you failed miserably," he said.
Turning to Scott, he went on: "You needed to be a bit more ruthless in choosing your high end sales division, and I'm not using that as a pun because maybe less Ruth would have been the best thing. So Ruth, you're fired."

Aisha Kasim became the second candidate to be fired by Lord Sugar in tonight's episode of The Apprentice.
The 30-year-old businesswoman found herself heading home in a taxi after project managing the girls' shambolic shampoo campaign.
16 times tonight's episode of The Apprentice was too cringeworthy for public health
Aisha had taken control of the task from the beginning, choosing the name Desert Secret, opting to place a cactus flower on the packaging and overseeing the advertising campaign.
But her team complained about their opinions not being listened to and a disastrous pitch from Natalie Dean threatened to tear them apart, as Elle Stevenson complained about the "relatively poor" delivery.
After the girls lost the task, Aisha made the mistake of bringing Vana Koutsomitis back into the Boardroom, explaining that it was her idea to target over-50s. But Lord Sugar was unimpressed that Vana was there and told her that she was safe this week,...

The candidates on The Apprentice are infamous for their bluff and bluster - but new contestant David Stevenson has taken things one step further by comparing himself to civil rights legend Martin Luther King.
Not content with explaining that he is a good candidate because he is wearing tweed in his audition video, Stevenson explains that Martin Luther King is the historical figure he believes he is the most like.

"And the reason being is the man said, 'I have a dream'," he says. "And I've got a dream too."
(If you thought that was bad, he does an American accent while he says it.)
Oh, and he goes on. "And the dream is to change the world within business.

1. Brett Butler-Smythe
"My mates would probably say there's a striking resemblance to Louie Spence."
2. Dan Callaghan

3. David Stevenson
"What makes me a good candidate is the fact that I'm wearing tweed."
4. Gary Poulton
"I am known as Mr Mankini."
5. Joseph Valente

Lord Sugar is back in the boardroom for The Apprentice, and there's a fresh crop of candidates hoping to impress the Amstrad boss and his trusted advisers Karren Brady and Claude Littner.
Whose business idol is Taylor Swift? Who's sucking up to Lord Sugar already? And - perhaps most importantly - who's got the biggest mouth on them? Read on to find out about all 18 of this year's hopefuls:
Aisha Kasim, 30
"Pressure makes diamonds. It's something I respond well to, I think it's go hard or go home."
Inventor Aisha owns a hair accessories business and says Victoria Beckham is her business inspiration. She fancies herself as a bit of a songwriter too, penning a jingle for one of her own products - a heated bun that curls your hair.
April Jackson, 26
"I'm Jamaican. We come first, we win on the track and we will win in the boardroom."
London-born...
