Down to the Final Four on The Apprentice

This was a confusing episode of The Apprentice. With only five contestants left, we’re getting down the nitty gritty. So you would think that the remaining five would be fighting tooth and nail to get to the final four.

The task itself was practically the same task as all the others – a sales and marketing task. I understand that it’s all about sponsors and product placement. But every task is the same. I can’t believe that sales ability is the only thing that Trump really wants in his apprentice.

Over on the boys team (Gold Rush? Who cares…) they were really smart about the signage, or so it seemed. For some reason, the guy they hired couldn’t deliver the signs when he said he would. I hope that they didn’t pay the guy – it almost ended up costing them in the end. But you just knew that they would pull out the win in the end when they started talking about the Walmart price tags everywhere. Because everyone loves a good Walmart ad.

So what were the girls doing? Well, poor Tammy was trying to pull together the task, and Roxanne and Allie wanted nothing to do with it. This is where I got confused. When they all got into the boardroom, why did Trump accept the constant eye rolling (or, as they called it, eyebrow raising) from Roxanne and Allie? Bill saw it, and Allie seems to do it all the time – you always see her giving those looks to Trump. I think Trump should have fired them both. And I really thought that he would, considering his piece of “business advice” at the beginning of the show was about traitors. But Tammy took the fall, and Allie and Roxanne survived another week.

So next week is the final four, and some sort of promise of audience voting this season. Oh boy…
