Giving Back - With an Ego

The Apprentice had big changes this week. Magna and Net Worth swapped people. Erin (the hottie!) and Stephanie went over to Net Worth. Chris and Tana went over to Magna. Their task was to talk with with big hot shot celebrities in order to get them to donate a big prize. Thinking back to season one's auction, there were a few changes. The pool of celebrities each team could use was different. Instead of actors, clothing designers, and athletes, we were shown various musicians. Some names were familiar, such as Moby, Eve, and Lil' Kim. Others were not as familiar, such as Fat Joe and Jadakiss. There was also another interesting change this time as the teams had to produce the show themselves.

The style of the meetings was as diverse as night and day. Net Worth got snared in the hands of John's ego, who billed as an expert on the music biz and interjecting himself into the talks. He also made Erin and Stephanie into trophy women, interrupting them, and even going as far to state that he was "pimping some girls". He was also focused on one idea of a house party to the artists, who were pretty lukewarm. No wonder Net Worth lost. Magna found themselves mainly with hip-hop artists, and Tana adapted to their lingo really fast - with some amusing results. The TV performances were done well. The prizes the stars offered were diverse, from Moby giving out a free week with a performance to Gene Simmons inviting the winner to a CD release party.

In the boardroom, it came out that Chris was better the talks, but not take the lead. He got rebuked for this. In the end, John and his massive ego lost out by being fired.

Now I don't know who will win.
