It's already aired on the east coast, yes? I guess no one cared enuf to start a thread for tonight?

If anyone's seen it already, could you please tell us what the challenge was, who lost, and who got kicked off tonight?

Thanks!

LOL – You're probably watching it now but here it is in brief summary.

The challenge was to promote a vitamin company's products at the half time of a soccer game.

Surya's team came up with a boxing ring concept where the guy is weak and then he takes the vitamins and gets stronger.

Kristine's team came up with sort of a vitamin defeating various health problems. Her team won (finally) and got to play golf with Trump as a reward (nice reward – they all enjoyed it).

Of course, Surya's team ganged up on him but it was close in the boardroom between him and James (for not being supportive and covering his butt) but in the end, Trump fired Surya.

Ok I'll try. The teams had to incorporate GNC into the halftime of a soccer match. The all women team had costumes made that looked like pills(vitamins). They had an obstacle course that represented problems the vitamins could help overcome. Surya's team came up with a boxing theme. James put on a costume(i think it was spose to be a bottle)and came out to a boxing ring to energize a lethargic boxer(Frank).
The women's team was much better imo and deservedly won. The winners got to play golf with Trump. In the BR Surya tried blaming James who questioned the effectiveness of their idea(albeit at the 11th hour)but at the end of the day Surya got booted. As expected he whined about being sabotaged.

Surya pretty much shot himself in the foot. He seemed to be swaying Trump to fire James (guy who is always covering his arse in preparation for boardroom), but then he (Surya) made a comment that he'd be better working WITH this team instead of LEADING them. DUH! This is a LEADERSHIP interview!

I'm bummed because I'd have much rather seen James' big mouth booted, but Surya did himself in.

The reward next time totally rocks for a change though. Meeting the governator is awesome. The first decent reward this season.

Is it just me or does anyone else think Trump singles out Angela much more than anyone else; even asking Angela questions about the challenge instead of the project manager?

I read somewhere that Angela has been a friend of Ivanka's for awhile. So Trump may have known her before.

Well, that might explain it. I was thinking he was just super impressed with her Olympic medal. His former wife Ivana was also an Olympian (an alternate on the ski team) and I can remember reading that this really attracted and impressed him.

OK, so I just watched my recording... there was no way Surya was gonna survive this board room. The other members of Arrow were, basically, out to get him from the first day he moved over there.

That said, he DID try to get the others to think of alternate ideas. And Frank was downright rude during the five minutes Surya asked for. Since we don't see the entire board room, I'm wondering if that was brought up. Because I got the impression Frank was doing all he could to sabotage Surya as a PM.

I like Angela, but I'm really amazed at how Trump singles her out all the time. Is he so enamoured of her Olympic medal? Even if Ivanka did go to school with her, that doesn't mean she spent weekends and holidays with the Trumps, becoming a second sister, yes? Very weird, and quite rude to the others. (I think she's a hard worker, I just don't see her as much of a leader, nor do I see her as being an apprentice. But what do *I* know?)

I did think that the concept Arrow had was a bad concept. I couldn't see how "Average Joe" was having such a hard time in the ring, and it didn't look like the "multi-vitamin" did much for him. I did like Kinetic's idea, which was much the same (take GNC's pills and you'll win in life) but they definitely executed better. And they got the audience involved, which does increase brand recognition. Having a giant costume with GNC on it didn't really do much, on Arrow's side. (And what the HECK was Nicole wearing? She certainly didn't look professional, and that was certainly not an attractive outfit for a sporting event.)

I find it interesting that sometimes people are fired for having bad ideas, yet Tim really wasn't dinged too badly. I loved Christina's idea to fire all three, and I agree Trump should've done so (but for very different reasons). James should've been fired, too... he's always doing the CYA thing and I haven't seen him do much to really impress me. Other than being loud.

Really, I think Surya is better off outta there. Except for the other woman on Arrow (who seemns to totally be UTR), all of the rest of that team are fairly loud and not pleasant to listen to. I hope all four of the women on Kinetic make it to F4, and continue to stay in the mansion until that point. The evil one in me cracks up at that.

Teach, you are so right. Surya said that one sentence and he was a goner! He said he was good with that team when he wasn't a leader. (Or something to that effect.) That sentence was his apprentice death sentence! You knew he was gone the second it left his mouth...

I asked Angela's brother Bill about the rumored friendship of Ivanka and Angela. He Told me that both had attended Choate Rosemary Hall (Ivanka was only there one year) but they were never room mates and meet briefly at one time during a school event. Angela was busy with hockey and while still a high school senior at Choate Rosemary Hall, she played on the Olympic team at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano.

Apprentice uses creative editing with disastrous L.A. Galaxy halftime show

Last summer, a soccer fan reported on a message board about an Apprentice 6 task that took place at an L.A. Galaxy game. The person wrote that the reception was so bad that producers would “have to do some really creative editing to show any of it and not make everyone look like fools (unless that was the intent).”

That prediction couldn’t have been more accurate. During Arrow’s presentation, the editors cut to the crowd members sitting still and looking dreadfully bored and annoyed. When the winning team, Kinetic, performed, the editors kept cutting to medium shots of audience members standing, cheering, and waving excitedly.

But when the crowd was visible in the background, it seemed to be exactly the opposite: no one was standing, waving, or cheering. The stands were half-empty, and those people that were there appeared to be sitting still. It was not an energized crowd.

Most likely, editors used shots of fans responding to the actual soccer game, not Kinetic’s skit, in order to reinforce Kinetic’s win. As to the audience’s vote for their favorite skit, that was entirely left out, probably because, as the report from last summer said, the audience “was so disgusted that they didn’t vote.”

Very interesting, Ladytex. Geez, micromanage much, Trump?

I'm getting scared that Frank is going so far. He was Donald's radar to go soon, but he's been flying under the radar. He drives me crazy...his voice and actions are so annoying. I don't like that team at all.

I distinctly remember seeing a very empty stands shot right at the beginning of the halftime shows, so I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.

One thing I forgot to mention (and noticed someone commented about it in Lady's link)... Angela's voice. OMG, she was just screeching. It was high pitched and quite irritating, and I can imagine even more so in person over the PA system.

I was surprised at how Angela's voice sounded. I have talked with Angela on many occasions and have heard her over a PA system and her voice is not that high pitch. She actually has a very pleasant, if somewhat low pitched, voice.

You know how sometimes people's voices get really high pitched when they get excited? Or when they try to talk really loud? I think both may have been the case with her.

I'm sure she's a very nice person, I just don't understand Trump's fascination (infatuation?) with her. I've not seen her really stand out during this show. She's a good hard worker, but not seen much in the way of leadership outta her.

I thought that Angela was good during her pitch for GNC. Lots of excitement and enthusiasm.

There is a really good Podcast called Armchair Apprentice. They get the castoff contestants on phone interviews the following week. Great stuff. I found them about a week into this season. So far, the BTS stuff from the former contestants has been better than watching the show.

I'm sorry that I come on a bit strong when I defended Angela. I had just got off the phone with her brother and I probably should not have responded so quickly.

I didn't either Penguin.

Since you know Angela personally, I appreciate your being able to offer a personal perspective. I know that TV frequently changes things.

I like what we've seen of Angela so far. She hasn't stepped up to lead yet but she worked hard on the last task and I thought she did a good job on the presentation and tried to keep the excitement level up.
