Putting to Failure

This week's Apprentice was fascinating in more ways than one. For starters, Carolyn was back. This week each team was asked to build their own putt-putt course. Magna and Net Worth did this, but in different ways.

Magna was at it's best this week with it's planning. They worked out an agreement with the vendors to team up and produce discounts for putt-putt if they shopped at that vendor. This was a very, very, smart idea! Their theme at their course was a jungle/safari one. The children had fun and they all worked together well, very well.

Net Worth only wished they were as lucky. First off, they were disorganized. This was not helped by a row between Audrey and John. In the last boardroom, scathing comments were made towards Audrey. She seemed to take it harder than the rest of the team. The day after, it all was unleashed. Audrey exploded with references to her poor childhood, comments about not being taken seriously, and a few select four letter words. In the task, they chose a circus theme. John failed in the marketing. They all seemed uneasy as clowns. One team member was using smokeless tobacco while in dress! Dumb, dumb, dumb! To me it was no surprise they lost. In the boardroom, this all came out. However, there were two surprises: Angie turned on Audrey. Sometimes friendship can't withstand the truth. She also selected three other team members to go further into the boardroom. I thought this rule was done away with. In any case, Audrey was fired.

I felt she was too young to start with.
