Sorry, I could not help...was balancing my checkbook during the show and got caught up with what should have been a simple task. At this point, it is the end of the show and John, Chris and Erin are up for the boardroom.

The show started out with the team mixing it up. They were to show up in the boardroom with PM chosen who has not been chosen. Then they were to choose 2 members of their group to go to the other group. Task was an auction for Glasser AIDs foundation.

They had to produce a segment which showcased the "for auction" talents of their 5 stars.

John is fired. Chris was hammered because he claimed to be a better negotiator but he stayed with productions. John failed at negotiations. He got fired.

In the end, John just thought too small. Fatal mistake.

Can someone explain how they split up for the new teams?

Yeah, Julie. Before the task, they were summoned to the boardroom(they were told to have their PMs selected before they went). Once in the boardroom, Trump had each project manager select 2 people they didn't want on their team. Kendra sent Stephanie & Erin to Net Worth, Chris sent Tana and Craig to Magna.

I loved Gene Simmons! I saw KISS perform only a few years ago in 1978. I loved their music and it was just about the best concert, special effects-wise, I had ever seen. A lot of people think he's just someone who has a really long tongue (due to a surgical procedure), wore funky makeup (I remember the first time I saw him without it - how disappointing) and played rock and roll music. He's also an excellent no-nonsense businessman who has a teaching degree. Oh, and I'm so glad John is gone.

It's funny that even with Kendra as PM, we still didn't get much sense of her personality or leadership style. I guess there's only so much airtime to go around. Craig better take the reigns next week or Trump will think he's chickening out. I really like Tana and respect her talent for dealing with people, her attempt at sounding cool gave me the same reaction as Caroline's. If it's possible to cringe while laughing, that's what I was doing. Hopefully the musicians just thought it was cute. Does anyone else see an ongoing flirtation going on between Trump and Erin?

I love Tana. She still appears to be the frontrunner (to me anyway) and at this point I hope she wins. Erin reminds me so much of Melania. She is a very sexy woman, and yeah, it's clear that DT has noticed. I chuckled when he was watching her tv schtick and said, "She's gooooood. Rona get me a car, I want to go down to the studio"..lol. They have a chemistry but I get the feeling he envisions her more as a mistress or tv personality than an apprentice

OK, first - WHY was it a time for corporate restructuring??? The teams were even (5 on each team). The whole premise of this season was "book smart vs. street smarts". It's not like the first season when the women were killing the men and the teams became very uneven. Was glad John got fired. I thought one of the reasons John was sent to negotiate with the musicians was because he was supposedly knowledgable about music - but I wonder why that was never brought up in the boardroom? And for someone who was supposedly "tuned in to the music scene", he totally blew it with Gene Simmons. He should have known better. And to tell a drummer to please bring his drums to the set because he wants to play - he hasn't played in a month?? Tana was very good tonight. She was cute when speaking "urban". She was the bomb-diggity! And Chris was surprisingly good on air. Craig Craig Craig. I can't believe not only did he not step up as PM - he actually said "It's only a title. I don't have anything to prove". Does he know how this game works??? Of course he does. At least the others who flew under the radar didn't make it look obvious. And maybe it was the editing, but he didn't seem to do much - as usual - during the task, except maybe to be Tana's support. She did most of the talking. Hope he's next on the chopping block. He doesn't deserve to be in the finals. So is next week a filler episode? No task/eliminations?

John was terrible tonight. I have really liked him up until now. Usually the voice of reason, and one of the most professional on the Street Smarts team. Too bad he sucked at his job and wouldn't let the women talk! I cringed each time he interrupted. I can see needing to use the women to some extent, but let them do it all: charm them, cajole them, and then let them make the deal. Sometimes you need to use that to get what you want. He was just over the top. Too bad.

Darn! My VCR didn't tape this and it was the first week I actually decided to watch another show instead! Figures! I'm glad John is gone whatever the case. I thought he should have been fired along with the PM last week. Erin is just plain a FLIRT. I don't recall exactly what I said perviously, but I remember mentioning something about her behavior early on.

Luvmykitties, Trump's reasoning for the restructuring was that the fact that the teams were even proved there was no difference between book smart and street smart so now let's see how/if they can work together. At least that's what he said.

I am sorry, but I found John extremely demeaning and sexist, not just this episode but in others as well. He is shown as an egotisical bore, perhaps editing but I was furious for his behavior towards the ladies. He deserved to go and I am very surprised it was not brought up in the boardroom. I think Chris made his fatal error by sending Tana and Craig over to the other side. If you ask me, they are the ones responsible for the success of the other team.

I, too, liked John until this episode. Like Jen said, he was usually the voice of reason. Oh well. I do believe he interrupted the ladies, but I also think there was a lot of editing (I am guessing to speed things up) as it seemed choppy from the girls starting to talk and then him jumping in. They really blew it when Gene Simmons practically begged them to offer him something big. I thought Chris was ridiculously "excited" in the boardroom. He got like that one other time. I was happy to see an NON-PM get the boot. Chris could have easily gotten it. Oh and yeah, Craig needs to step it up a notch. Or maybe it's already too late. Talk about flying under the radar. Seems he NEVER pitches in for anything. Oh, right, Chris made a horrible choice by sending Tana over. Craig, I could see, he does not help much. I think Erin and Stephanie were the smart choces for Kendra to send...

Chris wanted to keep his "buddy" around to work with - well that is not how you make in business - you keep who is good to work with. Business is business and you keep personal out of it. When I have tried to have "friends" work with me - I have found out quickly they do not have what I thought they did. It just doesn't work. Chris needs to get he is on this show for business and not to make friends!

I agree, Chris is a little too crazy when he tries to defend himself in the boardroom. What's with all the yelling and out of control anger??? That hasn't really been mentioned since one of the first weeks. Is he really only 21? That shocked me.
