This weeks episode aside, Andy in the cab with a Pepsi in his hand "I can't believe he fired me, in front of millions. I'll never be able to get another job." That was great as the cab driver turns around, "Yes you will", said Roj!
I will say I was disappointed that the work done wasn't considered in the end, but rather who can talk the fastest and loudest in the boardroom. Is that spunk or rudeness.

Ever wonder why someone wants to go to work for a man who's companies have filed bankruptcy more times than Carter has pills?

It was funny to see Raj as the cab driver in the end. I really wasn't surprised it was Andy that was fired though. He was the PM and the bottle presented was his concept. I really thought it was a funny looking bottle. Andy also got a little crazy giving money to the design team and keeping them from eating their pizza.
As for Sandy, Andy and Jen plotted against her in the end and I think Sandy did what she had to in the boardroom to defend herself. I really hope Jen is the next to go because she has skated by too many times!

I can't stand Jen. Obviously she is getting by on her looks. I'm sure we have all met someone like that at one point or another. I hadn't paid much attention to Sandy, but yesterday she was impressive.

I missed seeing Andy in the cab, so I didn't get to see Raj, that sounds funny! I figured Andy would go home pretty soon, so wasn't completely surprised that it was this show (although I think Sandy should have been called to task for her awful presentation.) Their bottle design was bad and the stuff Andy pulled with the money and the pizza were not really appropriate.
I liked Kelly's team's bottle a lot and thought they did the best job, and to be so organized that they finished early, what a nice change for them.
Jen must be brighter than she's being edited as, she is an attorney. (Or maybe not.) I still don't think she'll win, but she can't be as dumb as all that. I think she's better than Sandy though.

That's actually what I think Jen's problem is - she's book smart but not creative or street smart. I hope she doesn't win. I don't actually think she will, I think it's going to come down to Kelly or Kevin.

FYI: Recap episode tonight. New episode tomorrow. They're going to have to street sell the new M&Ms candy bars. Ivana/Kelly/Kevin look like tourists. Sandy & Jen are wearing matching red tanks and short skirts, they look much happier and I have a feeling they win. I'm thinking Ivana gets fired.

I'll see the new episode tomorrow. Tonight I hope to see Rudolph. It would be so cool if one of the commercials was Santa riding down the slope on a Norelco electric razor.

So what did everyone think of Ivana's so called gimmick on the Apprentice last night? Outrageous! I was embarrassed for her!  She let Jen get under her skin so much that she was willing to do anything. Out of the four left, who do you think should win? My vote is for Kevin or Kelly.

There is a difference between playing the sex card and playing the stupid card. As Carolyn stated, she wasn't selling candy bars. Shame on you Ivana.

You are right, the two ladies did work well together after their fight in the boardroom last week. I was really surprised. The women had the advantage in this task though because of their looks. Sex sells.

Yes, but they didn't use SEX to sell, they actually dressed somewhat conservatively, but dressed in the same colors and made sure they were attractive but not selling SEX.

Concur - pricing was not the issue here. The issue was that Sandy/Jen had a good, well thought out plan and looked attractive and used that to their advantage. They also had the marketing van to fall back on to attract attention, although it doesn't look like they needed it.
The other team, by contrast, looked like shysters hawking peanuts at a ball game. And Ivana spent so much time worrying about what the other team was doing she couldn't pay attention to her own business. Dropping her skirt was COMPLETELY unprofessional and I think Trump said it all: "You stripped. I don't hire strippers."

I wouldn't describe their dress as conservative. They had on low cut tank tops and one of them had on a short skirt. They dressed that way for a reason. That is how they were getting $5/candy bar.

I don't disagree that Ivana should have been fired. Like I said before, her actions were outrageous and she got what she deserved. My only point is that the ladies used their looks to their advantage, which was fine, it worked, and they didn't have to go overboard the way Ivana did.
What got me was that Ivana was saying the other ladies looked like hookers and then she turns around and drops her skirt. Go figure.

I didn't think they looked like hookers. Hooters girls, maybe.......
