This was disappointing. I turned in to watch "The Apprentice" and got "The Ricki Lake Show". This was the week to have a mass firing, not last week.
I think the producers overplayed their hand. Excel...great, great..wonderful. Randal fantastic. Cap Edge...bad, awful, horrible. Clay's a bigot. Markus a bore. Adam's a (gasp) virgin. Who should go??
Did anyone realize that there was just .09 difference between the two teams? Cap Edge was 6.98 and Excel was 7.07. That's statistically insignificant but to hear the way this was presented you'd have thought Cap Edge spent their whole time in a batting cage.
In fairness to Clay, I Tivo'd the show and his words were "tight Jew", not "tight-ass Jew". I think he meant conservative, not a tightwad. Either way, it was still a stupid thing to say. This is blue-state NYC. You just don't go there when it comes to any sort of racial comments because somebody will play the victim card.
I would have fired Clay but Markus had skated long enough. I did think it was a bad move to sass Trump after getting fired. Man, what an ego.
Indeed; both Clay and Markus should have been fired. And I want to know what they were thinking. Gosh, first thing I'd write on my resume for a corporate job is 'Lead 'Sex at Work' project for the LearningAnnex.' As an employer, I can feel the future lawsuit simmering on such a page.
Both teams have picked Randal, passing him back and forth. A clear message to The Donald whom the teams believe to be the best candidate. I don't care if Randal walks on water - picking him for anything at this point might help you skate another week, but you're not going to get the job.
Nice to see a better reward this week. Not exactly my style, but at those prices, I'd become a clothes pig if someone else was giving them away. (Investment for holiday fund when Randal gets the job..)
Markus - as much as Clay's dip into how tough it is to be an openly gay guy was less than entertaining to watch, seeing Markus open up that yoyo box and pull it out in the middle of the presentation was just the last straw. ARGH! I don't care how creative you may (and I never saw it in him) be, you have to be the one who bends the curve for a flea on an intelligence test to think that playing with toys in the middle of the presentation is a good idea.
