OMG, that was one of THE funniest eps of Apprentice I have seen thus far.
HOT OFF THE PRESSES: THE HIGHLIGHTS
Tonight's task involved the art of negotiation: To purchase a predetermined list of items/services at a price lower than what the merchant is asking for.
Well, needless to say, the women won with a 22% savings, the men only 9%
Notable moments: more catty drama b/t Omarosa and ?? (I wasn't paying attention), but during the task the women split up in sub-groups of two to get more done. Omarosa claims that the women she was with got some new-found respect for her, but since I really didn't see a significant amount of emphasis on that area, that truly remains to be seen.
Now the big question: How did Sam go as project manager? Well, I give him an A for enthusiam, an A for effort, but a HUGE F for execution and technique
*Whoopi Goldburg bursts out, "NOT F!! F MINUS!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"*
My bad, Whoopi. F minus indeed. Sam's problem was that he was too busy being a megalomaniac (power hungry), he actually prevented the group from negotiating the purchase of more items in order to buy some gold by 11:30, thereby wasting a LOT of precious time in the process.
Funny moment #1: Donald Trump stopping by to visit Sam during the project and gave him a handshake and a brief chat. Well, Sam had his head so far up in the clouds that the teammates had to take 5-10? minutes to bring him back to earth (RM's note: I think that visit was only to allow Mr. Trump to give Sam enough rope to hang himself with). Premonition perhaps? Indeed it was!!
Funny moment #2: Sam blaming Kwame in part for the team's failure. Now I must say that Kwame has been slowly blossoming into a very assertive, observant, and astute businessman. I knew that Kwame had nothing to worry about and when I heard Sam say Kwame's name, I shouted, "BULLJIVE!!"
Furthermore, IMHO if Kwame doesn't win the apprenticeship, he will probably be among the last to go, that's for sure.
Funny moment #3: Sam's look on his face when Mr. Trump said those famous words, three times to be exact. It was SOOOOO FUNNY (HOW FUNNY WAS IT???!!!), that I am going to try my darndest to get a screengrab of that expression off the Internet somewhere.
If no one gets anything else out of this episode, the moral to tonight's show is this:
The only thing that Sam knows how to run is HIS MOUTH!!! That fact has been made perfectly clear as of 8:54 pm EST.
And on that note: LET THE RANTINGS, LAUGHING, AND REJOICING BEGIN!!!!!
