REALITY REVIEW - The Apprentice 6
04: Episode 5 : A bee in the boardroom
12 February 2007

Aimee surprised me. She was so loud in the boardroom and she was so annoying, considering she was not that good in her own leadership. I was pretty sad to see Aaron leave the game, as I started to like every single member of Arrow, except Surya.

The game started very fast. We've seen some mini Fear Factor challenge (surrounded by bee for few minutes) in the bee farm. And some excitement and joy in the factory when Tim and Frank played around. Seriously, I thought Frank was going to be the villain of this season after what he did on the first episode. But then, he turn out to be a nice guy, and even stop talking when Trump asked him to, in the boardroom.

And then we have some issue about planning. In Arrow, Aaron was having problem with Surya talking too much. This is the first Aaron's mistake. As a project manager, he should stop Surya from keep going on. His incapability of doing so was a good reason for his depart.

But let's see Aimee's team. The one who was very loud in the boardroom was the one who spent 4 hours doing nothing, and not even have the name for the product. 4 hours? I could sit with a friend, talk about my childhood story, then badmouthing some friends, and make a wrap up chit chatting session within 4 hours. And she doesn't even have a name for the product?

It shouldn't be just about the name. If you can't get a name, do something else. Watch tv, or cook some lunch. Yeah, right.. That's probably what she did.



This episode was compiled in a very good way. We even see some problem while the sales was going on. With Surya interrupting Nicole and Aimee had some windows shopping while Muna and Derek unpacking the box, and yet Aimee was the one who said in the boardroom how good she was. Not in the exact word, but you know what I mean.

And then Kinetic won and enjoyed their reward.

In the boardroom, one of the interesting issue they brought up is Nicole and Tim. And we can see from the 'next week on The Apprentice' clip, showing something going on with them. That's going to be another great episode, I guess.

Overall, this is a great episode. But these are things that bother me a little bit:

1. Don't sell your team out

First with James. When Sean asked him about Aaron's leadership. He gave a very honest perspective. He should, if he was asked in the boardroom. But not in the game. I just think that it is not professional enough.

Second with Surya. I guess trying to get some protection from Aimee is a good strategy to save himself. But he was stumble at the point answering 'which team is better', but interrupted by Aaron. If I were Aaron, I will use that point as my defending statement. Saying that it's not on the team fault for blaming Surya as he didn't really feel that he belong to the team.

2. Shut up *****

I started to see how tough sitting beside Trump can be. It seems like Heidi had pin up a high standard of sitting there. Don't be too quiet like Aaron but yet don't be to loud like Aimee.

I was so irritated seeing Aimee being so outspoken as she is so good. Yeah, next time she lose, I hope someone from Arrow will treat her the same way.

That is all for this week. The best episode yet for this season, for me.

Pick of the week: Tim, Frank & Nicole (for making a good episode)
Good to bad impression: Surya
Cute personality : Muna (still)
Started to appear on screen: Aimee
Started to dissapear from screen: Heidi

'So tell me, how can Trump judge us by doing this?'
