The Apprentice 3 Review, Episode 13

Friday, April 22, 2005

For their next task, each team would have to create a new product to make office life easier by cleaning up clutter. Each group would have access to their own design and manufacturing team that would produce their product. Then the candidates would present their new creations to the Staples executives and a group of office managers. The team with the best new product, as judged by the executives, would win. The losers, as always, would return to the boardroom where someone would be fired.

Trump arrived in time for the Staples executives to hand down their judgment. Magna, according to the executives, had clearly connected with the customer - and their product was "innovative" and "practical." Most importantly though, the office managers said they would actually buy Magna's product. Net Worth, however, failed to hit the mark. The executives said their product lacked important features. But their big issue was the seemingly useless storage areas directly below the hinged tabletop. Magna was the winner! As for Net Worth, both Alex and Bren would meet Trump back in the boardroom where one of them would be fired. (...NBC news)

Since Bren admitted that he was still learning to take risks, Trump definitely had a reason to fire Bren. He said he wanted someone with an entrepreneurial spirit - something that Bren didn't seem to have. Alex, on the other hand, had impressed Trump saying proudly that he had taken risks all of his life because he had the passion and desire to be the best. In the boardroom, Bren didn't even try to fight back Alex when Trump told him that Alex was "killing him. I think at this point he gave up in this show and wanted to go back home. Or he might just get tired of the life he was living in this show.


The final four are now officially Alex, Craig, Kendra, and Tana. Seems the groups return to even between Book smarts vs Street smarts. I can't wait to see the finale. I bet either Tana and Alex or Tana and Kendra would make it to final two.


The four remaining candidates are:

1. Alex Thomason -- Net Worth -- (Seattle, WA) Prosecutor
2. Craig Williams -- Magna --(Conley, Ga.) Shoeshine Business Owner
3. Kendra Todd -- Magna --(Boynton Beach, Fla.) Real Estate Broker
4. Tana Goertz -- Magna -- (Des Moines, Iowa) Sales Executive
