That was literally such a long pitch. I think it was about 30 to 40 minutes that we were pitching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a lot and I was constantly trying to defend the logo, and you know, there was just so much stuff I was trying to fight back with the judges and trying to kind of defend my corner. They didn\u2019t show all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as this, Navid feels his \u201cfunny\u201d side wasn\u2019t really conveyed on screen.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cThere were some funny remarks that I made like actually telling them that the brown and green represents a tree, kind of stating the obvious but I kept trying to combat. I\u2019m a person that never like quits.

At one point, Sophie even took over from Navid and he didn\u2019t argue back.<\/p>\n<p>So, why does Navid think his true personality didn\u2019t come across on camera?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my funny side and relaxed side, but trust me, when you\u2019re in that kind of environment, you\u2019re so tense,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much pressure that all your focus is about winning the task. It\u2019s not like you can let yourself loose and just be yourself. When I did Rich Kids Go Skint, I was actually being myself and it was just fun. I\u2019m a crazy polite person.\u201d<\/p> <p>Lord Sugar felt that although Navid made suggestions, he was never listened to, which is something the business tycoon felt very uncomfortable about when it came to deciding whether to keep the 27-year-old in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of why he thought others refused to listen to him, Sole said: \u201cI was just being true to myself. At the end of the day, I\u2019m a pharmacist. I\u2019m a professional. I\u2019m representing\u00a0 professional healthcare. I\u2019m someone who does things very calm in a relaxed manner, not the ones that shout or bark at each other.
