Hair Raising Episode of The Apprentice

I guess that Trump has heard the chatter about his hair. So to kick off tonight’s episode of The Apprentice, he let Charmaine feel his hair. Wow.

The hair but was because the task for tonight involved the teams running the grand opening of two Hair Cuttery salons. So much for the non-advertisting motivated tasks. Oh well. On the surface, this seems like an easy task. Advertise, set up shelves, sell products. But of course, the teams always make it harder than it is.

Gold Rush decided that they really weren’t going to listen to Charmaine, and the boys just didn’t want to work for her. And while Lee had a point about advertising versus setting up shelves, that’s no reason to not work hard. They never seemed to have a plan (and why was Tarek so concerned about a theme when they never incorporated that theme??), and that disorganization made it clear that they were going to lose. Although I did appreciate watching Charmaine get her hair done while Bill was there, and Lee and Tarek drive around and talk about what they were going to wear into the boardroom.

Over at Synergy, there was a lot more organization, even though Sean was clearly on the outs with Allie and Roxanne. And some sort of strange romantic tension between him and Tammy. Did Sean actually talk about making beautiful babies after the show was over? Wow.

No surprises when Synergy won. And no real surprise that the boardroom was brutal. I hope I’m not the only one who loved Lee running around the suite beforehand, then saying that he was done with the “political” part of the boardroom. There was no question that Charmaine was going to be fired – she just didn’t do a good job at all leading. And then Trump somehow heard me saying “oh please, fire Tarek too…” and did, in fact, fire Tarek too. Trump had it out for Tarek all along, and this week Tarek did poorly enough he could finally get rid of him. And what a cab ride for the two of them.
