This week, the winning team of last episode was treated again. Not only they got exempt from the task, they also spend their day in a hotel, having nice meal and massage. I start to wonder, do they deserve to be treated this way just for winning last task. Their 2 consecutive winning is overrated if you ask me. We'll see what happen next week.

But I started to like the exemption when Arrow was divided into two. Like I said last week, it seems we're watching Final 7 but we're not. But I like it because I got to know the contestants better and see their strength and weaknesses or in another word, their fun and irritating behaviour.

Let's first see what happen in Aaron's team. He picked second, so he only has 3 members for his group including himself. But I guess he picked the good one. Stefani and James. On the other hand, Michelle pick Tim, Nicole and stuck with Frank. I don't mind much when Michelle pick Nicole and stuck with Frank, but I wonder why she take Tim into her team, considering both of them have some issue as Tim made it clear that he didn't like Michelle.

Do you notice the background music when Aaron's team started their task? And compare it with Michelle's team's background music. It seems like Aaron team will win from the very beginning. And usually when watching Apprentice, you kinda figure out which team will win. But I like it that way. It's pretty hard to see a team which doing so well in the task and suddenly lost to the other team by luck.

Aaron team started with a big idea. When James gave some creative thought about the Laker girls etc, I knew this team will win, just base on the idea. However, as the episode running I don't really think they deserve much to win because of this idea. And also about the drinks and popcorn.

Why? When I see that the task is about tourist judgment about their tour on the bus, the game should be played slightly different. They got a lot of good stuff, namely the Laker Girls and the food, but they put everything good early on, and leave nothing special in the tour. They even give drinks when the passengers go into the bus.

In my opinion, they should save something for the middle. How about giving drink halfway in the journey. I think it will give much impact as the tourists will remember more. And what a joke when James gave bad comments about the driver early on, when later he did the same mistakes. And obviously Stefani was the one to save the day.

But not much to be saved because the other team was doing such a lousy job. At first I thought that Michelle was doing nothing when she keep coming back and forth about the route. But then I realise that the route plays a big part in the tour, because if I'm a tourist, I want to go to some meaningful place,  not to a place where some famous people kill themselves by overdosing in drug. It's not entertaining for the tourist, but the reaction of that woman with her daughter (and the others also) is priceless.

This team lost because of there is nothing special along the trip. 'Special' in term of something that you can't get from an ordinary trip.

I started to think about the fairness of the task. How much do they get to run a task. For Aaron's team to spend money to hire Laker Girls and buy the tourists some refreshment, it seems that they are given quite a lot amount of money.

And for Michelle's team, didn't they realise that they had a lot of balance in their account considering they just spent their money for black and white colour banner which should cost less than a Laker Girl. Didn't they even think about spending those money to buy the tourists' heart, or in other word, to bribe them for a better vote? Really, just imagine if they can get some toys for the kids and some nice souvenir for the parents, (they should think about it, I'm not in the game, yeah I know that makes me not really deserve to complain much but who cares?) and give it 10 minutes before those people wrote their assessment, so that it's going to boost up the rating for sure.

Second thought, is it worth for tour company to hire Laker Girls every time they want to run a tour. Probably not. So, how much of 'practicality' aspect being considered in this game. Because if it is just for one tour, one team can make a lot of thing different, but will the difference stays the same for the other tour?

At the end, Michelle's team lost and she quit from the game.#
