Interesting that she said some things that weren't shown - like the Universal execs said they couldn't have a booth; and that the guys were selling tickets to kids that could have gotten in free. How come that stuff isn't shown on TV?

Thanks for posting a link to an interesting interview! The part about the booth, if true, was clearly unfair. I was sure that Kinetic would win that task as the women had so much more mobility than the other team. They could have sold to people waiting in line at the booth, before they even got to the counter but they just weren't assertive enough. It is possible to be assertive and be polite at the same time.

Were they limited to a certain area of the park to sell these passes? It seemed to me that the roller skates would allow them to move through the parking lots a bit more or something. I actually thought it was a good idea.

Exactly. I thought that Kinetic would cut off the customers and sell to them before they reached the booth.

Universal is on a steep hill and the parking lots are on levels with escalators coming up the hill. Yes I'm sure they have elevators but I don't think meeting them in the parking levels would have worked.. too spread out and people drive in and immediately head for the escalators. Also having people on rollerskates/blades in the dark garage areas with cars coming in would probably be a danger. I'm guessing they were limited to the main gate. Universal Citiwalk is right near there and might have been a possibility but again, maybe not. Plus I'm guessing they don't allow skates or skateboard or bikes in that area either. The area by the main gate isn't very large.

Thanks Sea, it's been years since I've been down to Universal and I didn't know the current setup. Last time I was there it was open parking, no parking garage.

I hadn't been in years until last fall, my visitors from New Zealand included a day there and I drove and went with them. They had some special parking for $20 that included some discounts and a pin or something and they insisted on paying for that but the garage area was just a garage area.

I rather thought the point of the promotion was these 'wearable' promotional screens, so that's why they couldn't have a booth. If you had a booth, you wouldn't need wearable screens. As before, I'm really disappointed in the lack of client awareness this year. It seems like in previous years, the clients' needs took precedence. This year, just about every task is about making money.

Trump. I want whatever it is he's taking. He's got the number 1 show? Really? In what alternate universe? I agree with y'all who said "if someone came at me like that, and then another person came up and badgered me, I'd walk away". I think Kinetic hit it on the head that they represented Universal better. I dunno if rollerskates were a better idea that a kiosk (is a tent a kiosk?). But I have to admit I didn't like Arrow's tactics and I didn't like how Trump approved of them. It's one thing to snag a customer in business, but you don't usually argue about it in front of the customer. There was nothing subtle about Arrow (is there ever?), and I am liking them less and less. Tim and Nicole. Really. Nicole needs to grow some and tell Trump it's none of his damned business what she and Tim are doing or feeling. Totally irrelevant to the show and to being an apprentice (unless it demonstrates how easily the two can be distracted). I suppose Trump thinks there's a titilating "will they or won't they" aspect to it, but eesh! I could care less, I don't like either one, and I think all three of them are acting inappropriately. (And a small part of me thinks both Tim and Nic play it up to get more air time.) Seriously hating the show this year. Do not like the tasks, do not like the rewards, do not like the contestants, do not like Trump, am bored with Ivanka, and really am tired of the screeching shouting sounds coming out of my TV. (Nicole, Frank, and James are the worst offenders.) You could tell how well liked Angela was... the tears as she was leaving. But really, they just plain lost this one and there was no one else to blame. Of course, I'd have put all the blame on Nicole, since rollerskating was her idea, but even so, it WAS Angela who was PM and it WAS Angela who could've/should've but didn't.

Have Frank, Stefanie, or Tim ever been PM? This just seems weird that someone could end up winning the game, but never actually step up to the plate
