I didn't pay attention to most of the show, but synergy won and in the boardroom are dan(PM), tarik and lee. Trump thinks lenny should be in the BR because he came up with the losing concept.

Dan is fired basically because he didn't bring Lenny into the BR. DT told them to tell Lenny he doesn't have much longer to go before he is fired.

Thanks Lindy! I can't believe Tarek made it thru another week. I thought for sure he'd be a goner. But I also figured Lennie wasn't long for Trump's world!

Funny, I can't even remember who Dan is. I'll have to go look at the pix in this thread.

Here's a quick summary:

Both teams had 3 hours to shoot a commercial before the cruise liner left dock. The cruise was unique because is was a "free style" -- not scheduled or regimented like most cruises. You could eat whenever, catch a show whenever, etc.

Synergy, under Rebecca's leadership, started their commercial w/a black/white shot of a couple eating at a fancy table looking bored stiff. The voice over mentioned the regimented cruise schedules of the past. After about 4 seconds, they switched to color pictures of all the various actitivies going on --and the voice narrated the variety of activities people could do any time because it was "all about you."

Gold Rush started their commercial with a shot of a castaway waving a flag on a raft. He is picked up by the ship, given comfy clothes and then treated to all the different entertainments. Instead of a voice over, Dan and Tarek made the decision to use text only (Lenny strenuously objected); the text said things like "Dining Any Time," "Relaxing Any Time."

The executives commented that they didn't get the "metaphor" of the castaway (trapped by job, etc.). They also were concerned w/the lack of narration. If a person were only half paying attention, they wouldn't get the message.

On this task, based at least on what was shown, Lenny went out on a limb w/his "creative" idea (that Trump didn't like), but he wasn't pushy and shouldn't have been fired. He voiced his objections to the text, but when Dan and Tarek wouldn't listen (and Dan and Tarek tried to do everything without listening to anyone), he said, "Fine" do it your way.

I actually thought Lenny looked similar to Rebecca -- both "took a risk" -- but Lenny wasn't able to follow through on his idea. JMHO of course. ;)

Finally, the reward for the winning team of 6 was a visit to one of the most secure vaults in the world that housed some company/collection (sorry, can't remember whose) diamond collection worth millions if not billions. They "played" w/the diamonds and then the team was given 30K to spend on diamonds.

I think that's most of it. Can't remember at all what next week's preview was! Sorry! :-)

next weeks preview was something about music ... looked like both teams writing a song and singing, or rather making some type of supposedly musical noise with their mouths, lol ...

Tarek is sooooo getting by on his looks. I think that's the only reason Trump's keeping him around, since he has now been in the boardroom 3 times and each time Trump chews him out for not living up to his Mensa membership. However, Dan was a fool for stating out loud his thought process in sending Lenny back upstairs. He actually said out loud that he didn't want Lee to have Lenny there to back him up. For that carelessness alone he deserved to go (not to mention leaving most of his team with nothing to do during the task).

Synergy thought they got rid of their problems when Brent left, but Andrea's going to continue to be trouble for them as long as she's there. She wants to be in charge no matter who the PM is. I don't get the sense that she takes the rest of them seriously, maybe because she feels superior with all her millions.

Andrea's a real downer, for sure. Rebecca did appear to be passive initially, but I was really cheering when she told Andrea that she demanded more respect from her.

Wonder what Trump's problem with Lenny is??

Yes, he came up with the lame castaway idea but it was the ONLY idea that the team had and they all loved it. I liked that the Team Leader never took Lenny to the Boardroom. He KNEW it wasnt the reason that they lost the Competition.

That Tarek guy is just plain irritating. In my opinion he has shown weakness a number of times in the Boardroom and DT has enjoyed targetting him with Insults regarding intelligence.

it is possible that Lenny's personality is so strong that DT feels threatened by him. Lenny seems to have no fear and doesnt back down. LOL

Good for drama but not likely to make it past the next few weeks. DT has a bead on him LOL

I was surprised Tarek slipped by tonight, too. As for Lenny's castaway idea, while it wasn't the best in the world, the Norwegian execs didn't cite that as a reason the team lost, but they said plainly that opting not to use voiceover was what did the team in. Did they not say this to Trump? It was unbelievable to me that after hearing this straight from the judges, Tarek was trying to sell Dan on the fact that he should take Lee and Lenny back to the boardroom...after he was the one who fought so hard to do text instead of voiceover. It is crazy to think that, had Dan brought Lenny in, Lenny would have been gone based on his concept, when it was the text rather than voice that the judges hated, and Lenny argued vehemently against that.

And don't even get me started on Andrea...except to say what is up with the yellow eyeshadow?

Sorry Costa, RL got in the way last night!!!

Last night I really liked the way Roxanne did things. Andrea has got to go. She is very condescending. She was so rude to Roxanne and went behind her back. (Roxanne said have the actors look bored and then when Roxanne was busy, Andrea told the actors to look more lively. Which, IMO, would defeat the purpose...)

Who was Dan? And who is the black guy on Gold Rush? I think Dan was one of the guys who celebrated that Jewish holiday. But the black guy, have they shown him at all?

Too bad Gold Rush had the goofy beginning with the castaway, cuz after that, I think their commercial was better.

Julie, I think we are experiencing some similar things while watching the show...the who's that? experience. Last night the first time I saw half the people, I was thinking "Who's that guy? Have we seen him before?" "Who's she", etc. I think it is a combination of some people getting little air time...and of my just not paying a whole lot of attention. In fact, I didn't realize Roxanne's name wasn't Rebecca until you asked...and then I had to look up her real name!

Dan was one of the Jewish-holiday guys.

The black guy is Michael, he was the one who came up with the idea of wearing bathrobes in the Gillette Fusion text-message task.

Did anybody notice the bagel-focus when they were discussing Brent being fired? Before Synergy got back, when they started talking about Brent, someone said "Where are the bagels?" (at least that is what it sounded like)...and after they found out Brent was fired, there was just this shot of a bag of bagels. Was Brent on his bagel diet then?

I did like both commercials, although I agreed with the judges that the castaway thing was confusing (if I hadn't known the concept, I wouldn't have figured it out from the commercial). I wish Gold Rush had at least tried the commercial with VO. It couldn't have been that hard to just add a VO to what they had then watch them both and let the team vote on which they wanted to go with.

Andrea appears to be an attractive accomplished woman but from what we have seen on the show, she acted in a petty and vindictive way with respect to Roxanne. All in response to Roxanne’s comment in the boardroom where she happened to say that she liked Tammy’s management style better than Andrea’s. Ugh! Roxanne did a very solid job as PM despite Andrea’s digs and various sabotage attempts.

I was pretty surprised by Trump’s focus on Lenny as well. Yes Lenny came up with the idea of the castaway, but the rest of the team was very enthused about it.

Dan didn’t manage the team well and he and Tarek lost the task when Tarek adamantly refused to do the voice-over and insisted on doing text. Lenny was the one who emphasized the importance of the voice-over. Although the Executives didn’t get the initial concept of the castaway, they said that they liked the commercial a lot and that it was well done – except for the text and no voice.

Trump got it half right in firing Dan, but I was dismayed that he suggested that he would fire Lenny if he was in the boardroom. I think he is keeping Tarek around because he appears to enjoy humiliating him over his Mensa membership vs. his poor performance.

Is everyone else as pleasantly surprised by Ivanka as I am? Her presence has added to the show (unlike someone else’s presence on a certain other Apprentice show). She is very well spoken and makes very intelligent comments and contributions. I think it would be great if at some point she actually stood in for Trump on one of the shows. She certainly seems capable of doing it!

They forgot last season when someone lost because the voiceovers were not present and people had trouble reading the captions and watching the scenes to figure everything out.

I think Dan deserved to be fired and it seemed like he was not the least bit upset about it. He was not a strong leader and went a little crazy in the beginning of his reign.
They didn't have the time to do the castaway idea justice and Dan should have figured that out right away. The "castaway" wasn't a castaway, he was at the dock,lol.
The other team did good by showing all the cruise's activities and keeping it simple.
Andrea is a pain.
I like Lee so far and thought it made since to talk to Donald's side kicks especially since nobody else was.
No favorites yet

I don't get why Andrea has it in for Roxanne. After Andrea locked herself into the bathroom upon hearing Brent wasn't fired, Roxanne tried to comfort her and Andrea basically told her to get lost.

re: bagel shot - after learning of Brent's departure, someone said that they felt a weight had been lifted from their shoulders, and it immediately went to bagel shot. It really annoys me - Brent was a total bonehead, but anyone could see he was a candidate simply for the reason he'd make a target for "good" tv. He could have done amazingly well on the tasks, but Trump would never hire him in a million years. If he couldn't find an excuse to fire him, in the end he'd probably say he wouldn't hire Brent because he obviously lacks self-control and discipline or something.

I like Roxanne just for holding her own against Andrea.
