Costa - sorry, I was watching in the other room. Too lazy to get my lappy. OMG you guys all have to watch this episode, if only for the last 15 minutes. They are all sharing a cab home. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Not even a word out of any of them. Jennifer, Mark, Jason, and Josh. It was a sales task, the losing team (lead by Josh) DECREASED revenues by 34%, while the winning team increased revenues by 74%.

Wow! How can you DECREASE revenues? (I know, they spent more than they made!) Were all four on the same, losing, team? I cannot wait to watch the cab ride!!! LOL...

Yeah, Eeyore that was one tense cab ride! Did you see the look on Bill's face when Trump fired them all? Probably was much like the look on my face. It was very cool...but I'll miss James. I can't wait to see the reaction of the rest of the Apprenti next week when noone returns to the suite! I wonder how that will be handled...will they get a phone call or something letting them know what happened/

Costa, I am soooo sorry, I fell asleep on my couch, slept through Survivor, only to wake up in time to see the person going home. EEEP. Then I was just so comfy, that I never got up. My lappy was still in my school bag. LOL OK so yeah, the task was they went to Dick's Sporting Goods, and chose a sport, featured it, and had to sell goods in that area. Win was based on percentage increase in revenue I think. The winning team, lead by Alla (yuck) chose golf, had a mini putting area for kids, while they sold to parents and others. The losing team built a big baseball field in store, with each base supposed to be a "station" where they would feature something to sell. The middle part was where they wanted to set up a batting cage. The batting cage took up too much space, the products got pushing to the background, and then there was more emphasis on the batting cage, rather than sales. The rest you know. There WAS a team reshuffle earlier, where Alla got rid of Jen, Rebecca and Marshawn, and sent then to the other team; Josh got to get rid of his 3 worst, so got rid of Clay, Markus, and some other guy whose name I don't know (sad, at this point in the season). But the reshuffle is moot, now that the teams are so uneven. Oh, one more thing. After the initial boardroom, Trump didn't give Josh the choice of who to bring back. He sent up Rebecca and Marshawn because they had the highest sales, and also the exempt guy (also whose name I don't know). Then he fired the rest in the second part of the boardroom.

Ah. Thanks Eeyore. I was trying to figure out how "no one would go back up" when he fired four. And couldn't think that a team had only four people. I wonder how they'll find out that no one is coming back up? Will they just have to sit and speculate till the next morning, when they get the call from Rhona and then meet Trump? I kinda like Jen, but I thought she was useless. I cannot for the life of me remember who Mark, Jason, and Josh are (although I'll probably remember when I see 'em). Well. Trump finally shook things up. Did he have to come back to take over for Carolyn and that's why he was all cranky?

Cdbga - I hope they just don't even tell the rest of the people upstairs. Then have the camera crews watch them wonder all night, as nobody comes back!!!

I like the Apprentice commercial with Chewbacca in it. Did anyone else see that?? Chewie was so cute! "I can't even understand anything you're saying!" "rawr!!" Then Chewie leaves with his little PINK roller suitcase. LOL!!!

Costa, the decreased revenues were based on the fact that the store actually sold 34% less baseball merchandise during the event than they usually do. The winning team increased revenue by something like 76%, so it was a HUGE margin on the win. I definitely think golf was the better idea. It is an expensive sport and if you are going to play it, you need your own stuff. You don't really need anything other than a glove to play baseball (you know, if you join a league. I played softball for years as a child.).

The four of them, crammed in the back of the cab was priceless! What's really funny is that the other team could have been down in sales by 25% and the still would have won. ROFL.

Did anyone see last weeks preview for this weeks episode? Didn't they show the Trump telling someone to shut up and asking "what was missing up there" ? I was watching for it and it never happened...

I think those were taken from old boardrooms. Every time I saw that promo I was thinking the "what is missing with you" comment was from Elisabeth's firing in season 2..don't know about the others.

I thought the previews for this show were somewhat misleading. Saying Trump has to shorten his trip because somebody screwed up,or words to that effect. Looks like he had something planned anyways. That cab ride is one of the greatest moments in reality tv.

OMG Mod <KA> Ooops!! Sorry for the potty mouth!! I was just so flabbergasted. That was the quickest way to show my emotion, and what happened, so Costa could be in on it. LOL

You know, they looked REALLY embarrassed in the cab - more embarrassed than I think we have seen anyone. Which is interesting because you might expect the opposite with not being singled out. And after watching again, I would even go so far to say they were fighting back tears...
