He became the first person to be fired by Lord Sugar in this the seventh series of The Apprentice.<\/p>\n<p>Edward failed to win over Lord Sugar when he took on the role of Project Manager in the fruit and veg.\u00a0 challenge.<\/p>\n<p>In the task the two teams had to invest \u00a3250 in fresh fruit and vegetables before selling it on for a profit. Edward Hunter led the boys team, who called themselves Logic. They spent all \u00a3250 on oranges and tomatoes in a bid to sell juice and soup the next day.<br \/>\nOn the girls team Melody Hossaini took charge of the group, who called themselves Venture. Melody spent only \u00a3160 of Lord Sugar\u2019s investment, purchasing cut price fruit and vegetables to make fruit pots and a vegetable pasta to sell.<\/p>\n<p>The boys made \u00a3339 from selling their orange juice compared to the girls\u2019 \u00a337 worth of revenue from their pasta. However, the girls made fruit boxes and they sold very well, bringing their total income to just under \u00a3600. The boys meanwhile took \u00a392 from their soup to make a total of \u00a3431, a much smaller profit compared to the girls without even taking into account their lower costs.<\/p>\n<p>After going over the task in the board room, project manager Edward decided to bring back Gavin Winstanley and Leon Doyle into the boardroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cI brought Gavin back as I felt he was not a doer,\u201d said Edward, before Karren pointed out that Gavin had in fact sold the second highest amount of products.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Sugar told the trio: \u201cGavin, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing here in the boardroom. You sold well, so you\u2019ve done enough to stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7469702309\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n\u201cLeon, I\u2019m going be blunt: I\u2019m not very enthusiastic about you, I\u2019ve not seen anything sparkle.
