Reality... Reality... (The Apprentice Review)

Friday, March 11, 2005

Since both groups (Magna & Net Worth) were down to five candidates now, Trump announced it was time for a corporate restructure. He said, "it showed that neither book smarts nor street smarts was better than the other". As seen at the beginning, the groups were divided into 2 groups which are Magna (short for magna cum laude) for a group of graduated people, and Net Worth for a group of high school (or wealthier).

A given task for this week :

They would produce a live music auction for FUSE TV to benefit The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Each team would be randomly given five of the biggest artists in the music industry. They would have to negotiate with each group or artist for a personal experience to be auctioned off during the live segment. The team that raised the most money would win; the losers would be back in the boardroom where someone would be fired .

George & Carolyn, both acting as Trump second-hands, announced the fund raising results when Trump arrived at the TV studio. George announced that Net Worth had brought in a total of $11,325. But Carolyn said that Magna's total was $21,654, which was attributed largely to the week-long experiences the team managed to secure. It means Net Worth failed to win again.

After short debates between judges & team members, Trump fired John without a question. I am glad he got fired finally. I know it's about time, too. I would say this person doesn't have a good attitude. In doing tasks, he didn't respect and did underestimate women. He's rude and loud, and he did most of the talking to sell out himself. He should know that no company needs attitudes like his. It takes teamwork to win, and he was all for himself.

I think Chris as a PM of Net Worth team in this assignment was potential to get fired too. Not because of the job under his responsibility was not done well, mostly about his personality. He is way too immature with the yelling at the judges in the boardroom. It's okay to yell at other contestants, but you can't yell at your "judges". Seems like he just doesn't have a lot of self control. I suggest he needs some anger-management sessions.
