Apprentice: Trump Fires The Team

This was not one of the better episodes but the results were rather stunning. The Clique on Capital Edge is waiting to see who will come back from the boardroom. They want their Kristi back, but such is not the case as Jennifer walks through the door. The usual fake pleasantries and hugs occur as the scene cuts to the morning telephone call from Rhona. Both teams are pick their project managers and report to the boardroom.
Cut to the boardroom, Carolyn and Bill (sitting in for George) are there but no Donald. Carolyn is in charge in Donald's absence. She even sits in the big chair (you could feel Donald cringe all the way to Seattle on that).
The teams are about to undergo what they call a corporate restructuring, we call "screw your buddy." Both PMs picks 3 players they did not want on their team. The blonde covenant of Capital edge wants to rid itself of Marshawn, Rebecca, and Jennifer. Nothing says win like ridding your team of intelligent and serious competitors, as is the case with Marshawn and Rebecca (still on crutches and occasionally a wheel chair).
Josh is the PM for Excel--he is known for being the vocal spokesman for the team and for his rants about Marcus. He discard to the other team Clay, Adam and of course Marcus. The only surprise is that Marcus was the last pick. By the way Alla was PM for Capital Edge, the first contestant ever to speak with an accent and also recently the one who it recently was revealed that she is an ex-stripper.
This weeks project is to simply design an interactive activity for Dick's Sporting Goods that will boost their sales. Capital Edge is at immediate disadvantage since not one of the guys or girls where in to sports. None the less they had an idea that I thought was the toughest. A golf exhibition. Immediately of course, Alla and Clay have a tiff, Better listen to him Alla, he's been a winner and you have not. Excel's with it's sports enthusiasts come up with a batting cage.
The golf exhibition turns out to be a hit, with the mini-golf course for the kiddies. The batting cage is also a hit except for one thing, there was nothing to the equiptment sell. Added to this Jennifer continued to show her incompetence as she turned out to be a lousy saleperson.
Capital Edge winds up with it's first victory in weeks, and Marcus is spared the inevitable for another week. Trump is angry again as he is once again wearing his tux. He says it is the worst defeat ever for an Apprentice team and he takes the power out of Josh's hands. He excuses Rebecca and Marshawn from the boardroom and they go back to the suite safe for another week. 3 candidates had to go back to the boardroom where Trump did something you would never think he would do. He fired all 4 of them!

I really don't see a viable candidate in the bunch. Even Markus is starting to look smart...haha.
