REALITY REVIEW - The Apprentice 6
03: Episode 2 : A story of pink swimwear
15 January 2007

I was going to write the same title as last week, that is 'Boardroom Analysis'. But then, I figure out that there's nothing much to analyze. The reason of losing is so obvious, and there's no one to be blame except Kerry. I thought that Michelle was pretty annoying in the task when she argue about the price. But, because she also said bad thing about the pink swimwear, I was on her side. Yeah, Kerry was going into his own direction, quoting what Michelle said.

And actually, the team should be thankful for that because if Michelle didn't speak up, then Kerry will said that it's the team fault because they never told him so. It's kinda similar tactic used by Heidi. When Heidi wasn't interested in Marissa's swimsuit, she object it at first and then she said, 'we don't have time to change it right now, so..' and she accept it. That's a good trick because if her team lose, she can simply says that she didn't like the suit but she approve it as there's not much time and having not enough suit is much worse scenario.

I do believe that Heidi will stay quite long in this show.

Anyway, that's enough with the boardroom thing. Kerry and his pink swimwear was the second to go. I can write 2-3 paragraph about his mistakes but I guess it's crystal clear.

Let's go to the other part of the story. The element of the game.

I just notice that the first boardroom was during the day. It's kinda cool because some fresh element is good for a reality show. And the separation between loser and winner actually create much more tense and boost up the team spirit. It's funny to see the winning team sneaking out, trying to hear what the losing team arguing about.

And there comes Andy. Where's the house keeper? This week, we've been introduced with Andy and now she's the one who open the door, making the call etc. And she didn't have her own desk.

And for the first time ever, the winning team is exempted from next week task, which mean that they are safe for another week. I guess next week, Trump will divide the losing group into two teams, and we'll see they compete as it is Final 7, but it's not. It's a good thing for losing team actually. At least 3 of them will win this time.

But it leave me with questions. So will Heidi be sitting in the same seat in the boardroom week or will it be the new winning project manager? Or as the losing team numbers is odd, will she be sent to one of the team to make it equal. I don't really see it happening, but it will be cool to see that happen.

What's more about this episode? Aaron was wearing contact lenses in the dark and if you notice, he didn't get it onto his eye on the first attempt (assuming that it was his first attempt). I was wearing contact lenses and as far as I know, usually you try to open your eye with one hand, and try to put it in with another hand (finger on the other hand). Like the bad guy in 24 Season 1 did.

But anyway, we don't really get to know much of them. Even in the task, that's nothing obvious done by the rest of the team. Maybe because of the nature of this task also. Hopefully the other candidates will shine more next week.

And the other thing, I love and hate the new opening montage. I love the part where most of them has candid pictures as it's kinda friendly montage, but I hate when they put clip of Trump saying 'you're fired'. It's weird and doesn't match the sound, I guess.

Okay, enough of this week. #
