The Apprentice Review - Episode 10

Friday, April 01, 2005


Each team would create a brand-new type of pizza for Dominos, a company that serves up more than 400 million pizzas a year to hungry customers. Each team would incorporate a pizza topping that Dominos didn't normally use - Trump mentioned he was partial to meatballs. Each team would then make and sell their pizzas from a mobile kitchen. The winner would be the team with the highest sales. The losers would return to the boardroom where another candidate would be fired. George and Carolyn would keep a watchful eye on the fledgling pizza businesses and report back to Trump.

Done with this task, both teams arrived at the boardroom to learn the results of their hard work. Carolyn reported that Magna had taken in $653.12 thanks in large part to Kendra and Tana's marketing effort. George said that Net Worth's sales totaled only $523.90. Magna was the winner! ...(NBC news)




Stephanie Myers (San Diego)
Supply Chain Consultant


Trump felt that Stephanie wasn't a strong leader and so he finally said, "Stephanie, you're fired!" I was upset to see Stephanie get fired in last night's episode. Seems Trump returned to his old style that the PM (project manager) is the one who gets fired almost every case. The common reason Trump said is "you are not respected by your team", "you didn't show any leadership" or "you have a lack of leadership". How come PM was always a target to blame on while the team player did not respect the leader or screwed up the task??

I understand that Stephanie was weak and ineffective particularly when she spend an hour or more delivering a few pizzas to Brooklyn. She should have asked any other member doing delivery instead of her, so she could have just controlled the whole task done appropriately. She was also simply soft spoken compared to the rest female candidates.

Regardless what weakness Stephanie has, I prefer Chris should have been fired last night. He still lost his temper again, now with Alex, during the task. I can't stand to see him cursing and yelling at people. I can't imagine either if someday I find people like him to work with. He should be aware that having big temper is extremely unacceptable when working with others. I hope next episode will be the last day for him.



Chris bad manner
