You're not going to slay *this* dragon!

I'm not even sure what that argument had to do with dragons anyway.

Tonight on Martha's Apprentice the teams were reconfigured and had to make, market, and sell a new salad dressing for Wishbone.
They had a day to make the dressing and design the label; and they had an afternoon demo at a supermarket lined up to sell the dressing.

Since the two chefs were split up and sent to separate teams, it was finally time to see who was the better chef. Bethany claimed to be and Marcella seemed to let her think Bethany was, too. But in the end, Marcella's Rosemary Lime Vinegrette sounds more tasty and more unlike anything on sale today, while Bethany's Asian Vinegrette probably was awesome (Martha loved it) but really, how many brands have something like it already? Marcella's first dressing was what really impressed her team but they were scared off by the green color. Really guys? Seriously? It's going on a green salad anyway?

It came down to price points and number of bottles sold. The Rosemary team had a lesser price than the Asian team. But the Asian team had live wire Jim on their side and since he decided to sell the dressing as a foot massage oil, and also swore to a teammate in front of some children, they got reprimanded and almost kicked out of the store.

In the end, the Rosemary sold more bottles and won. And now you can buy it for a limited time along with a Cranberry Walnut dressing (I wonder why Master Chef Bethany's dressing isn't on the market!???!). They got a boat ride.

And Jim was taken into the boardroom where he wasn't fired. I mean, Martha, I know he's good tv but do you really want him representing you? Didn't Wishbone get pissed at his antics?

Instead the weak project manager Jennifer was sent home. And Martha couldn't even muster up a long letter for her this time. She was unimpressed to say the least.

Next week: something with celebrity dogs. And More Jim Antics Galore!
