It's the start of the final task on The Apprentice and it's time for the two big tasks. This season they are both charity events (albeit with huge corporate sponsors) for two very worthy charities. As a teacher, I've seen what autism does to families. And Mark Burnett has been committed to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation since Survivor: Africa. These should be great events.

From the start, Rebecca is way more into the task than Randall. She has already picked out her team, and is willing to play hardball to get them. Randall really seemed surprised that Rebecca was so into it. And you could see that both Carolyn & George took notice as well. I liked that they got to choose from everyone this season -- in the past they have gotten to choose from a selected group (or even been assigned a selected group) of "characters." In Mark Burnett's book he even talks about the fact that having Omarossa on his staff most likely cost Kwame the job in season 1. I guess even Trump couldn't take any more Markus.

My favorite part of the episode? Chris picking out the different purple fabrics. Did he say "decor"? Nothing like a football player choosing fabric because it's shimmery. So glad we got to see that!

I definitely think that Rebecca is going to win. They keep showing her on top of things, while Randall seems to be making some strange choices (four people at Party City???). And we know that they'll show both teams with a looming problem (it makes for good television), but Rebecca's seems so much easier to solve. She can call the Union; Randall can't do much about the weather. (although if he can he will definitely get the job!)
