There are a lot of important life lessons that can be learned from NBC's 'The Apprentice.'
Things like 'passion and desire are key components to sucess' and 'you should never underestimate a competitor' and 'if youre a woman, you can get pretty much get anything you want by acting like a complete whore.'
One thing you cannot get by acting like a whore, though, is respect, and Ivana Ma, a 28 year old 'venture capitalist' from Boston found that out the hard way on last night's episode.
Dont get me wrong, I was as happy as the next guy to see Jennifer and Sandy dressed like a pair of streetwalkers, and happier still to watch Ivana take off her skirt and reveal her skimpy panties.
But it also made me a bit sad. I know, can you believe it? Disappointed by cheap sexual shenanigans that demean an entire gender? I think I must have the fever.
Sandy and Jennifer of the Mosaic team tried a slightly different tatic selling their candy bars on Wall Street in that they dressed like the 'M&M Sisters' which is apparently the new slang term for 'pair of bleached blond sluts who are almost too old to even make this look work.'
And work it they did, by traveling around in a van and preying upon groups of horny construction workers who eagerly bought the bars for $5.00 on the chance that Jen might drop their change and have to bend over and retrieve it.
When Ivana realized what the Mosaic strumpets were doing, her solution was naturally, was to offer to take off her skirt for anyone who paid $20.00 for the chocolate bar. Oh, the savage irony. Two minutes earlier she was saying Jen and Sandy looked like 'strippers from a cheap beer dive in Texas, with peanut shells on the floor.'
Then suddenly, she's flashing her snug fitting girlie panties for all the world to see, in a bid to out trollop the trollops.
When she realized that the long knives were out for her, Ivana finally came to life in the boardroom and had the gall to suggest that the hypereducated Kevin as 'not as smart as her,' and got a verbal spanking from Trump's underling Carolyn for being disrespectful to the Donald.
Ivana backpedaled and backpedaled and did just about everything else aside from dropping her skirt again, but it was to no avail: Trump axed her like a teenaged victim in a horror flick.
what- no pictures?
Since I only saw the last fifteen minutes of the show I am wondering if any Freepers can guess who will be the winner.
I sure am missing some culturally enriching stuff there.
Kelly will win in a walk. He's 3-0 and undefeated as project manager
That was great. Ivana's primary defense in the boardroom was that Jen was horrible, which might have worked except for the inconvenient facts that, A: Jen kicked her butt, and thus B: was not a candidate for firing.
But then Trump chastised the women in Season 1 for using sex appeal to beat the guys in the first part of the season..oh the mixed messages!
No screenshots yet..Im sure they ae out there though!
Trump was touting this strip tease on NYC radio ahead of the broadcast.
IMO KELLY WILL BE THE WINNER WITH MAYBE KEVIN OR SANDY AS RUNNER UP! I CAN'T IMAGINE JEN EVEN PLACING SECOND SHE'S AN IDIOT AND I'M SURPRISED SHE'S GOTTEN THIS FAR, PLAYING THE DUMB BLONDE ONLY GOES SO FAR!
To a certain extent. In the first season, Trump also called the girls' team together after one of their wins, and castigated them for relying too much on selling sex, basically telling them to cut it out.
The other cut next week is going to be harder, can Sandy pull it out against the boys?
I saw it last night. Trust me, you're not missing anything.
It wasnt much, they were kind of boyish type underoo thingies..
Is Kelly a him or a her? Didn't watch long enough to figure out who's who.
Yes, it was a fun episode. And Jen is a hottie who knows how to "get away with it" (that's where that law degree comes in).
What amazes me is that "fire-able" offenses seem to abound on this show lately. Kevin undercuts the price on the candy bars (from $1.50). Jen and Sandy ignore two entire sheets of candy bars on the conveyor belt for whatever reason while they plunge into the reject bin. Last week, Andy bribes the underlings to stay late while denying them the pizzas that were ordered and yet he gets fired only because Jen and Sandy verbally abused him in the boardroom to the point that Trump realized he couldn't stand up to them (much less get a sentence out to defend himself with).
I actually understood, in a sense, what Ivana was doing. She realized that if the Barbie Twins were selling candy bars for $5 a pop, they couldn't possibly make up ground at $1.50. So she played the sex card, which was at least more entertaining than if she played the race card. It was clear, after that display, that the two guy teammates basically gave up on that day's competition.
But once you "drop 'em" on Wall Street in front of a camera, you've pretty well killed yourself as a future executive. But she'll probably get a nice spread in Playboy as a consolation prize.
I thought the promo said they were cutting 2 next week?
Wouldn't want you to miss this!
