The Apprentice is Back

This Article has a Spoiler

Yes, My guilty pleasure is back for the 4th time. It's not enough that I watch the show, I have to read all the spins on the episode on the net and in the paper the next day. In the premier this week, Trump welcomes a new group of young people hoping to "run" one of his hundreds of companies. He immediately went back to dividing them up Men vs. Women because in the beginning "it's hard to tell all of you apart" Whatever. The Action starts out at the Trump National Golf Course somewhere in Jersey not to play golf, but for Trump to show off another asset. He has a rather odd task for the contestants, this week he is promoting Bally Fitness Centers. Each team will pick a Bally's gym and teach some type of fitness class. Whoever makes the most money on the task will be the winner. To start it out and to blur the line between The Apprentice and Survivor, the contestants (or job interviewees) have to find the helicopter on the course. The first team to find the chopper gets to ride to New York and get first pick of location. That gets a surrealist image of contestants running in three piece suits and skirts all over the golf course. Donald and his two co-horts have smirks on their faces, thankful they would never have to endure such humiliation. The Men's team wins, flys back and of course, picks the fitness club in the wealthiest area. The women have to limo it back and wind up in Spanish Harlem.
The Women's team has mouthy Melissa. Melissa is Hispanic and makes a huge point of it and will not let anyone get past that fact, she naturally causes them to lose and when Project Manager Kristi has to pick someone to go to the boardroom with her. Melissa is the natural choice. Kristi does not take anyone else in with her, so after Melissa is fired by Trump, noone on the team will have any axe to grind with her
