Did anyone catch last Night's episode? This weeks task was to design a brochure for the new Pontiac Solstice sports Car. They had access to photographers and graphic Artists. But they had to design everything basically by themselves, there was 3 guys against 2 girls and one guy, the team with the 2 girls basically fought with the team leader, so she did everything herself, and kicked everyones Ass! She did a fantasic job, so much so that Pontiac are going to use her Design for the actual Official Brochure. I really enjoyed this episode.

I've been locked into watching the Apprentice this time around. I liked this episode too. The gal did a kickbutt job. I can't believe they abandoned her like that. Everyone knows ad people don't always get their beauty sleep ... especially on a deadline. Sheeesh, and such an important deadline at that!
I was also surprised that the black guy left that night because during his time as leader with "the box" (which was also a great idea) his team members came close to abandoning him and then finally banded together even tho they didn't believe in his concept. He didn't show the same loyalty to his leader last night.
I liked how the Donald scolded Alex for taking a nap. hahahaaa And that Chris FINALLY got fired. I swear they kept him on this long for the drama to keep things interesting.
Looking forward to what's up next week.

This is the first time I have watched the Apprentice, but I couldn't resist the Street Smarts vs the School Smarts.
I would have bet money last week that Chris was a gonner, but Angie shot herself in the foot and I thought Alex had done the same last night.
Don't get me wrong. I liked Chris and I think he will be a force to reckon with once he grows up.
Are there any Street Smart players left? I've lost track of who started out on which team with all the shuffling.

Last nights episode was excellent and whats her name did an outstanding job. I was really put off by her team mates trying to take equal credit for her single handed win. They should have been ashamed of themselves.

I wasn't overly impressed with either brochure. Although the one chosen was unique, it lacked information about the car's specs. I lose interest immediately with a brochure if it doesn't include enough info to peak my interest. Also, the winning "team" was not a team, but a one woman show, and a good leader is not someone who has to do it all by themselves. She wasn't able to motive her team. I think that next week's episode will be interesting, because Trump finds out that she actually designed the brochure by herself. This has been an interesting year (this is the only reality show I bother watching).

I watch it every week & I liked last nights show too. I agree that the women who did all the work on the winning brochure did an outstanding job. I was thinking to myself that her leadership skills were lacking... but in the end I also thought of how her team was critiquing her ideas from the instant she offered to be team leader. Knowing this & knowing her own coffee-achiever capabilities... I think she could not have manipulated any better outcome then for the nay-sayers to bugger off so she could get some work done. If she hadn't been able to complete it, then as a leader she would have been wrong to not light a fire under the ass of her "help"... but in this case she played her cards well I thought & had the peace & quiet to git-r-done.

Remember it's TV and Mark Burnett can make the story line whatever he chooses. All you need is 24 hours worth of sound bites to make the viewer perceive what he want's for the "reality" show.
As A program, it did exactly what is was geared to do.
Does anyone really think a single sleep deprived, scatter-brained human with last minute concepts really designed and produced a final product for a major car company minutes before a deadline?

Next thing you'll bre tellin' me is that there Paulie on 'Merican Chopper don't design them there motersickles! Posted by Jean Shimp (Member # 198) on :
So, anybody want to speculate on the final winner? I think it will be "what's her name" that did the winning brochure. She has been instrumental in her team winning in past episodes and she's got the stamina to handle the high stress jobs.

Jean, I think it will be the "soccer mom" (can't think of her name, off-hand). She's not only been on most of the winning teams, but was also a winning project manager. I thought she copped out on her project manager on that last show, though.
