Kulats?

Tonight on the Apprentice, the producers and editors began their crowning of Sean as the winner and hero of the season.

He started out by talking fondly of Tammy, the girl who was fired last week. Then he kicked bootie on the task, all to bring down Allie and Roxanne, for the sake of Tammy. Then during the reward, he admitted he wanted to have Apprentice babies with Tammy.

But let's back up...

The task was to design new uniforms for Embassy suite employees. They would be judged by the employees. Both teams spoke first with executives and then with actual employees who would be wearing the uniforms. It was obvious from the focus groups that these people didn't want drastic changes and that while the executives wanted the team members to make the decision, they were concerned very much with branding and functionality.

So Allie and Roxanne ignored the employees and designed some high concept fashion. Sean and Lee made minor modifications to what was already worn, updating the look and function (like vents in a chef's coat...fleece handwarmers in the lining of the bellmen's coats), and won in a major landslide.

Sean and Lee got to have dinner with Donald Jr. and Ivanka. This season has been the year of Ivanka and she's an awesome addition to the show. She has great insight into the tasks and is charming and smart but also pointed and direct. She is blunt like her dad but in a much warmer way. She and her brother were very cute in discussing their father.

But then in the boardroom Ivanka ripped the uniforms to shreds. Particularly she pointed out the idiocy of khaki chef's coats - they are white so they can be bleached, nimrods. Though she didn't use the word nimrod.

In the end, Allie and Roxanne were fired because they attacked each other. They were in a lose lose situation, no doubt. Roxanne wouldn't speak up for herself because of their friendship; then when she did, she lost because she was disloyal to her friend.

So two more episodes with the final two. Obviously Sean is the leader as Lee has been too much of a politician thus far.
