One Car, Two Pamphlets
Last weeks Apprentice was interesting. Trump asked the teams to draft a pamphlet for the Pontiac Solstice. Before they got to work, Bren moved over to Net Worth, which had been completely decimated over the weeks. I thought Kendra would get the nod, but I was wrong for reasons I shall get to. After the teams were reshuffled, they went to work.
Magna did pretty well last week. This doesn't mean they had problems. From the start, it seemed the on-going row between Kendra and Craig heated up again. I feel something will happen with them. Anyway, they had a solid idea. They wanted to bring out the emotion of the buyer as they looked at the car. To make this happen, they polled a group of random joes and based their pamlet off the feedback. As night fell, the hours dragged on. Kendra, who was used to this chugged on. Craig and Tana protested her late-night work ethic and completed the papmlet without help from the team. The next morning, they were impressed. When it came time to show their idea, Kendra tried to speak, but was muzzled in a way by Tana. Not good at all.
Net Worth was their usual incompetent selves last week. The trio had no plan and no sense of direction. They went to their photo shoot just taking photos of girls on the car trunk. Alex forgot a photo Bren wanted of the car's logo. Things got worse when their pamphlet was finished. The text was lifeless and bland. The third page had the car out of focus and blurry. The folks at Pontiac were not impressed. Guess who they chose?
The boardroom was ugly. Trump used a unique technique in weeding out the chap to be fired; he shamed them with the other teams pamphlet and they admitted that Magna's work was better. Chris and Bren were faulted for the text, which was lifeless and dull (i've read it). Alex got barbs for sleeping and not doing anything about it. Chris seemed like a man spent. He himself said he was impressed with the car and would buy it. As the end drew near, Trump said Chris would be a success, but had to keep watch over his temper. After the glowing words, he was fired. As he left the boardroom, he shed some tears.
I feel sorry for him in a way.
