WTF?!??!
Man, don't mess with Trump I tell ya.
So this week Trump was too busy for his tv show and flew off to LA and left Carolyn in charge along with Apprentice Number One, Bill. It's nice to know George's job is real enough that he's too busy once in awhile for the show, too.
Carolyn had the PMs of each team choose their weakest 3 members and switch sides. Alla seemingly made a huge error in giving up Rebecca and Marshawn; she also sent over last week's idiot Jennifer. Josh sent over the obvious: Markus, Clay and some guy named Adam (where did he come from anyway?!?!). I immediately felt sorry for Randal.
Their task: come up with an in-store promotion at a sporting goods store based around a single sport. The team who raises the revenue of that department by the highest percentage wins.
Alla's team chose golf even though none of them knew a thing about it. They focused on Clay whining to Alla the whole time about the setup. The other team got behind James' idea of baseball. They were going to set up a baseball diamond in the store, with a batting cage in the middle and stations to sell baseball items at each base.
I say were because the manly men of Josh, James and Marc got so obsessed with the batting cage concept that it grew to be bigger than the whole diamond (practically). This meant their stations were shoved far off to the sides. Jennifer meanwhile claimed she was going to sell anything they gave her to sell, and became especially obsessed with the radar guns.
Alla's golfing group set up a mini-putting green for kids which worked well because part of the team would spend time watching the kids play golf, while the rest shuffled the parents off to all the items they wanted to sell them.
Josh's baseball group drew a much larger crowd but they were too busy waiting in line to bat in the cage and learning batting tips from Josh, Marc and James to spend any money. And Jennifer? Couldn't even sell the pretzels and hot dogs that didn't even figure into their revenue. Marc didn't even pick up on visiting Bill's hint to get out of the cage and start selling to customers. Anyone, including a store employee, could have fed the balls in that machine that he insisted he had to run. And Josh? He was a mess. He let the whole event get out of control.
So obviously, Alla's team kicked their ass, raising revenue 74 percent. Josh and his crew managed to have sales DROP 34 PERCENT, the biggest loss in Apprentice history.
As Alla's team celebrated with a deep sea fishing trip, you couldn't help but wonder how the heck they won, except for Randal. I love Randal.
Back in the boardroom, Trump returned and upon questioning the whole team, found the whole thing a mess. He found out Rebecca, on the crutches with no sales experience, sold the most with Marshawn and exempt Brian coming in second. He was so disgusted at the loss, he didn't even let PM Josh pick who to bring in the boardroom. He excused Marshawn, Brian and Rebecca and brought the rest of the team in. I liked that because it put an end to that whole "I'm gonna protect my friend and gang up on the weak person we don't like" tactic.
So he brought those four back in and after some really tough questioning and pointed criticism from Bill, fired each and everyone one of them. I guess this season just got four weeks shorter.
The cab ride was awesome. All four squeezed in with none of them talking. Josh in particular seemed shocked and appalled.
That was awesome man. And it brings the obvious final three to: Rebecca, Marshawn and Randal. I predict a Randal v. Marshawn final two and please don't make me pick one. I'd have to take Marshawn. She's so well spoken and choses her words so carefully.
But Randal? He rocks.
