The pair opted to reference famous British historical figures, but ended up naming their store after Italian born Christopher Columbus.<\/p>\n<p>After tasting their food and listening to their branding pitches, Lord Sugar and the experts marked the teams out of 10 in four categories: brand identity, customer experience, food quality and long-term viability, the responses were collated and the results were as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Team Logic averaged a mark of seven out of 10.<br \/>\nTeam Venture received an average of just four out of 10.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Sugar then praised Helen and Tom and revealed to them: \u201cYou\u2019re in the final! You\u2019ve done very well getting through to this stage. Go back to the house, have a good rest, and I\u2019ll be in touch shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turning to Venture however, the Lord Sugar told them: \u201cI guess you must be sitting there wondering what your fate is now that those two are in the final. The good news is that two of you are going to be in the final, and the bad news is that one of you is going to be fired today,\u201d before sending them out of the boardroom.<\/p>\n<p>On their return, Lord Sugar took the team to task over their performance, and after listening to some pretty poor excuses, he delivered his final verdict, \u201cIt\u2019s a very, very difficult decision I have to make now because you have come through 11 weeks of gruelling pressure\u2026 Jim, you have this kind of manner, some people might call it charisma, for getting people on your side and controlling the situation, which is a good trait sometimes in business but it also has its downfall.<\/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>\nSusan, you don\u2019t get on too well with people, that may be because you\u2019re very determined and don\u2019t take any prisoners.
