I thought it was strange that they didn't grade them based on profit. With the extra expenses of Net Worth (costumes and plane tickets), Magna would most likely have come out ahead. Just to be sure, I checked the dossier on the Yahoo site:

Task Dossier


It's pretty fishy that they didn't even count "revenue" in absolute dollar terms!

The seed money was for expenses-they could not/did not use the individual stores' money as that belongs to the individual franchise. The concept was to "promote" the new burger. So, the emphasis was on promotion-media and selling of the chosen burger.

I was thinking last night that if only one of the teams handed out $1.00 off coupons they would have sold a ton more. I would try a new sandwich if I was given a good chunk of change off.

I also found it odd that the Net Worth team had enough to have those nice looking posters printed, get cowboy outfits, and still have enough to give away a trip to Las Vegas. I really didn't see how the Magna team spent their seed money.

Finally, I would never have chosen a triple cheese anything! You completely lose a group of people if they aren't into cheese. With the other sandwich, if it was only the onion rings you didn't like (or another item on it), you could take them off and still enjoy the rest of the sandwich.

I thought it was so bad for Stephanie to stab Danny like that. Didn't she talk w/him before and say she'd choose Todd to go? (Then AFTER Danny said Todd, she says Danny. Makes wonder what she would have said if she were the one who was asked first.)

Also I think Kendra is good cuz she didn't jump on the "danny goes" bandwagon. I am glad Carolyn noticed.

I too noticed the absence of the clock. Last season I watched that clock every episode and they were never in the boardroom for hours. Usually it took about one hour for the whole thing, sometimes up to two hours. Several contestants said they were in there for hours on end... Seemingly not true.

I noticed the cab too. And also how they use different cabs for the actual ride-off. They pre-tape all of them walking to and getting in a cab. But notice the cab numbers/or signs and you will see that the cab magically changes when the cab actually pulls away.

Eyeore says..."You know, the more I think about it, the more it makes me mad that Danny wasn't fired. The guy is SOOOOOO not what Trump is looking for. He is around for pure entertainment value being the "eccentric guy" role. If this show were for real, they would have fired Danny, and given Todd a real scare, by saying something like "Don't think we haven't noticed your crappy leadership skills"."

If this show were for real, Danny probably would not be on it in the first place!

While I don't like Danny's clothes sense and style I do think they should overlook that for now and see what he is made of in terms of business savvy. Afterall, Donald certainly had bad hair and it doesn't seem to stop him from making million dollar deals.

Last season we had Raj with his perky bow ties, now we have Danny with his leisure suits. I am beginning to suspect that he was chosen for that unique quality but he also had to "qualify" for being good at what he does to have made it over other applicants. IMHO

Betcha that Yahoo job ad is not accidental. Product placement at its best.

Danny owns a marketing company, if he couldn't pull this off perhaps he is in the wrong business. Certainly could not have looked good to his clients. His "scheme" looked like something a kid would put together to sell something at the end of their driveway.

I don't ususally comment on looks but there are two contestants that give me the creeps this time around, one male one female, with both their looks and their demeanour.

Yeah, we all know someone could OWN a company, and it be nothing more than a tax shelter, or just very small.

Dalm is right, he wouldn't have been ON in the first place.

If you were hiring between two people, one looks the part, one doesn't. They BOTH screw up on the first day, shouldn't you turf the guy with the MOST stuff that needs improving?

Second, I thought this show was the APPRENTICE, doesn't that mean you are going to BE LED? So why fire the guy who is a bad leader, as opposed to the guy who is a loose cannon and doesn't listen or cooperate with their superiors?

Danny, if he was there at all, should have been gone.. Eeyores has it right.. if all three in the room goofed, and they did.. Danny also has appalling taste in clothes, which is not a crime, but he needed to pick and choose where to wear those items and Donald Trump's boardroom is perhaps not the place.. then there is the guitar and the singing and people having to listen to him..

I really thought it was like seeing Sonya dumped on the island in Survivor I with her ukulele.. and she was GONE right away.. thought Danny would be dragging his guitar into a cab at the first opportunity.

Re; the clock, maybe the didn't film those shots by the clock at the exact times they went in and came out. I thought I read they filmed the cab shots all at once.

Okay, it's that guy Bren, he just comes off as greasy and that woman Erin, something about her doesn't sit right with me. The guy that looked like he was in the "family" did not even register to me, until the end I didn't even realize he was there until the parting boardroom shot.

I think we should all just refer to Danny as Leisure Suit Larry from here on in

"I think we should all just refer to Danny as Leisure Suit Larry from here on in"

Konashark kept asking me "what is his name?" He was dying to call him Larry.

Yes, this is the "Apprentice" but Trump is really hiring a PR person, none of the real decisions will be made by the Apprentice; but they aren't going to be getting their hands dirty either (i.e. flipping burgers). He is looking for "idea" people, and those who keep their cool under pressure, and can be organized, and can take responsibility with the ability to entice others to follow.

Apprentice 3’s Kristen Was Previously ‘Murdered’ in Small Town X


Does anyone remember "Murder in Small Town X" from the Summer of 2001? The winner was a firefighter who was killed in the WTC on 9/11, before he even collected his check. Very sad!

Anyway, Kristen was on that show and is now on Apprentice 3. Very interesting. Here's the link:

watched this episode. Reserve judgement at this time.

Like a number of you said, it was fishy that only UNITS sold was the considering factor to which team won.

After Jen's loss last season I truly do think that this is "just a tv show", nothing more. We shall see.

Well, apparently they're casting for "interesting TV" rather than who might be the most qualified. Does anybody really think DT would want a crazy person like Danny or a publicity seeker like Kirsten? They had to have known she'd been on MiSTX!

While I agree Danny is there just for flash and show, I don't think he should have been the first to go. It should have been the PM for not controlling him and finding out what he doing marketing wise.

But as for Danny's own business, remember he said that he had a marketing biz that was showing clients how to brand on the net. Basically he's a techie boy and sometimes clients are lax when it comes to those 'puter boys and espcially creative marketing types.

So I can actually understand how he could get away with dressing like that. It's not that far fetch. Now what I don't understand is if you have such a profitable company why be on the Apprentice in the first place, and then on top of that bring your freaking guitar! At the least one would think that someone could have tapped him on the shoulder and said "Ditch the string man...people will watch you and not want to do business with you later on." Well anyway I guess he's this seasons Sam/Raj. (Golly has there only been 2 season..feels like much longer than that)

I have a quesiton about the black haired "lawyer" girl. When she hopped on the bed in the short skirt nearly showing her rear, to cry crocodile tears about the stress of kicking someone out...Did anyone beside me think she was trying to promot a fashion career. The next clip of her we see is he wearing some pink off the shoulder fuzzy thingy. (Um isn't it spring/summer when they film these) For some reason she's going to irrtate me this round, I can just feel it.

I still wish that they had shown the BK commercial with Omarosa in it. The one they did show was kinda lame.

Mss, Danny wasn't the first to go. The project manager was, for the exact reasons you said.
