The decision to return to this original format layout meant that Alan Sugar could now get more in-depth knowledge of the finalists’ business plans, unlike in the past two series, through arranging the final task towards them promoting their idea to both himself and a large selection of industry experts.[2] Alongside the standard twelve episodes, with the first two aired within a day of each other, two specials were aired alongside this series \u2013 “The Final Five” on 8 July, and “Why I Fired Them” on 11 July.Sixteen candidates took part in the ninth series, with Leah Totton becoming the overall winner. Excluding specials, the series averaged around 7.34\u00a0million viewers during its broadcast.

After the sixteen candidates for the final line-up were selected, filming began in October 2012. Following the past two series, production staff and Sugar returned the format of the episode schedule back to the original layout, prior to the seventh series. This decision was aimed at making the final task focused on assigning the finalists of the series with creating a brand for their plan, and pitching their ideas to a large group of experts, regarding their plan’s intentions, cost and pricing details, how it would expand, and other notable business details, thus providing more in-depth information for Sugar to have available than provided by just the Interviews stage. In addition, Sugar brought back the use of exotic filming locations, with the global economic recession coming to an end, by arranging for one of his tasks of this series to be held within Dubai. Alongside these changes, Matthew Riley left the programme after two series, leading to Sugar replacing him with Claudine Collins for the Interviews stage.In the first task, the woman named their team as Evolve, while the men named their team Endeavour. Of those who took part, Leah Totton would become the eventual winner, and go on to use her investment towards opening up a chain of cosmetic skin clinics, with her first being opened on 22 January 2014.[3][4][5] One notable matter that arose during film, was the discovery that Jordan Poulton had violated one of the rules regarding his application to the show, which prompted production staff and researchers to improve their thorough checks on applicants in future series to avoid further issues.Candidates[edit]CandidateBackgroundAgeResultLeah TottonDoctor24WinnerLuisa ZissmanRetail Entrepreneur25Runner-upFrancesca MacDuff-VarleyDance & Entertainment Entrepreneur32Fired after Interviews stageNeil CloughRegional Manager \u2013 Soccer Centres32Jordan PoultonBusiness Analyst26Myles MordauntMarketing Agency Co-Founder39Fired after tenth taskAlex MillsCompany Director22Fired after ninth taskJason LeechHistorian \/ Property Entrepreneur29Fired after eighth taskNatalie PanayiRecruitment Manager30Fired after seventh taskKurt WilsonHealth Drink Entrepreneur and Health & Safety Manager26Rebecca SlaterPharmaceutical Sales Rep.35Fired after sixth taskZeeshaan ShahCEO of Property Investment Company27Fired after fifth taskUzma YakoobEntrepreneur & Make-Up Brand Owner32Fired after fourth taskSophie LauRestaurateur22Fired after third taskTim StillwellMexican Food Entrepreneur23Fired after second taskJaz Ampaw-FarrLiteracy & Education Company Director41Fired after first taskPerformance chart[edit]CandidateTask Number123456789101112LeahININININBRWINININBRININHIREDLuisaINININWININBRINLOSEINWININRUNNER-UPFrancescaINBRINININLOSEINBRININFIREDNeilINININLOSEININWININWINBRFIREDJordanININWINININININWININBRFIREDMylesININININWININININBRFIREDAlexININININININBRINFIREDJasonWINININININININFIREDNatalieININLOSEINBRINFIREDKurtINWININBRININFIREDRebeccaINBRINININFIREDZeeshaanININININFIREDUzmaBRINBRFIREDSophieBRINFIREDTimINFIREDJazFIREDKey:\u00a0 The candidate won this series of The Apprentice.\u00a0 The candidate was the runner-up.\u00a0 The candidate won as project manager on his\/her team, for this task.\u00a0 The candidate lost as project manager on his\/her team, for this task.\u00a0 The candidate was on the winning team for this task \/ they passed the Interviews stage.\u00a0 The candidate was on the losing team for this task.\u00a0 The candidate was brought to the final boardroom for this task.\u00a0 The candidate was fired in this task.\u00a0 The candidate lost as project manager for this task and was fired.Episodes[edit]Controversy[edit]Jordan Poulton’s applicationAs part of the format’s rules since the seventh series for applications to The Apprentice, the producers make clear that any participants who enter the contest must not include any company(s) to their business plan if they do not have either ownership or co-ownership. When Jordan Poulton applied for the programme, production staff hadn’t properly checked his application, which showed that he had named a company in his business plan that was not his, a fact that was not noticed until the interviews stage of the contest, when Claude Littner discovered the staff’s oversight. Although Poulton’s involvement in the programme was broadcast, despite this oversight, he later admitted on Twitter, while thanking his supporters, that he had been “naive” and apologised for “wasting everyone’s time”.[21]Ratings[edit]Official episode viewing figures are from BARB.[6]Episodeno.AirdateViewers(millions)BBC Oneweekly ranking17 May 20137.25728 May 20136.648315 May 20137.224422 May 20137.692528 May 20136.88265 June 20137.292712 June 20137.813819 June 20137.484926 June 20137.305103 July 20137.5351110 July 20138.2411217 July 20136.742Note: During the 2-hour final, the show was shared with The Apprentice: You’re Hired, and as a result the figures are lower than usual.
