The Apprentice 3 Review, Episode 14

Friday, April 29, 2005


The two teams now each had exactly one Book Smart and one Street Smart candidate. Trump told the group that for their next task they would work with Hanes, the apparel company that has sold more than 1 billion T-shirts. The teams would be charged with designing a brand-new T-shirt to commemorate 50 years of T-shirt culture. Each team would get help in the design department from their very own pop culture artist. Then the teams would sell their creations at Scoop, a shop that offers the latest casual fashions all under one roof. The team that made the most money in sales would be the winner. The losers would meet back in the boardroom where someone would be fired. George and Carolyn would be along to observe and report back to The Donald.

At the end of the day, the teams entered the boardroom wearing their T-shirt creations in lieu of business suits. Trump asked how each team had done. George said that Net Worth had sold their men's shirts for $42.99 and their women's shirts for $44.99. The team had sold 33 shirts for a total of $1,147.95 in sales. Carolyn said that Magna had approached the task differently. They had priced their short-sleeve shirts for $25 and long-sleeve shirts for $35. But they had tapped into their artist's fan base and sold 101 shirts for $2,705.00. Magna was the winner! Trump then announced that starting the following week, there would be no more teams. The Final Three would compete as individuals. However, Trump said, Kendra and Craig would start their individual competition a bit early because, for their reward, they would get into fighter planes and go head-to-head in an aerial dogfight! As the losers, Alex and Tana would fight it out in the boardroom where one of them would be fired. (April 28, 2005.. NBC News)


Seemed at beginning Trump would decide to fire Tana after asking some advices from George & Carolyn, but then he turned to Alex and said, "You're fired!" because Tana had come up with most of the ideas and did most of the selling while Alex seemed to sit back and hope the team would fail again and again. I think he made up his mind very quick when Tana was arguing her better records than Alex. She said she was Project Manager three times and had won twice - with one of her victories over Alex. On the other hand, Alex had lost twice as Project Manager.

Since the candidates now are Craig, Tana (both street smarts) and Kendra (book smarts), I am expecting to see Kendra vs Tana in season finale. Yeah I don't like Craig, particularly the way he talks. I think he needs to improve his communication skill. Or he might need to go to college where we could learn how to speak efficiently and effectively.



You're Fired!!


Alex Thomason (Seattle, WA)

Three more candidates are:

1. Craig Williams -- (Conley, Ga.) Shoeshine Business Owner
2. Kendra Todd -- (Boynton Beach, Fla.) Real Estate Broker
3. Tana Goertz -- (Des Moines, Iowa) Sales Executive
