Jim Eastwood
Charles James Eastwood,〔http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/190965/The-Apprentice-Jim-s-a-big-charlie〕 better known as Jim Eastwood, is a British Businessman and formerly one of the final four contestants in the seventh UK series of ''The Apprentice''. He was born in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland and is a graduate of the University of Ulster having also attended Harvard and the University of North Carolina.〔 During his time on The Apprentice, he gained the nickname "Jedi Jim" due to his persuasive abilities and use of mind games. Eastwood is also a former all-Ireland cycling champion.
== ''The Apprentice'' ==
In 2011, Eastwood appeared on the seventh series of ''The Apprentice''. He started out well, shining individually despite being on the losing team for three of the first four tasks. He came to prominence on the show after persuading his team leader Leon Doyle to select a different person to bring back into the boardroom after he had already decided Jim would be one of the two candidates. Eastwood then drifted for the next few tasks, only just avoiding being fired in week 5 after a poor product naming decision.〔 From then on he was branded "evil" because of his apparent decision to use his abilities of persuasion more aggressively, having another narrow escape in week 7 as Project Manager, when his mistake in negotiation over advertising space in the Hip Replacement magazine cost the team victory.
However, Eastwood had a return to form in week 9, when he not only designed a well-received luxury biscuit called Special Stars, but also helped secure the biggest victory ever seen in the UK Apprentice, by delivering a pitch to Asda that persuaded them to place an order of £800,000. Eastwood once again shone in the reinvestment task with huge sales of umbrellas, although his performance, and that of Susan Ma, was overshadowed by the bizarre decisions of his project manager Natasha Scribbins, who failed to understand the point of the task and refused to reinvest on the second day in any substantial quantity. Eastwood reached the final despite a second disastrous loss as project manager, in which Venture's concept for a Mexican restaurant lost in every single category to Logic, made worse by the failure to produce any financial plan for the pitch. Jim's survival was mostly a result of Natasha taking a total backseat on the task, despite possessing a catering degree, but he was nonetheless tipped for victory by previous candidates. Though he was dubbed "The World's Greatest Salesman" by Lord Sugar, he failed to win as the interviewers considered his business plan an attempt to ingratiate himself with Lord Sugar.
