Last two episodes

I didn't make any recap for the last two episodes. So, I just want to make some quick comment here. Sad to see Surya get fired. Not a big fan of him, but it seems like he didn't make lot of mistakes during his departure.

And I don't think Muna pledged her case very well. Because there is no way you can become and actor and direct at the same time. Hello, we are talking about amateur actress here.

Tim & Nicole

Tim and Nicole are the stars of this season. Not because they are really good during the task (it doesn't mean that they were not contributing), but their hippy love story keep getting on and on every episode.

This episode, they were separated by James. I will do the same if I was James. Simple logic. If you send Frank or Stefani over to Kinetic, then you get stuck with one more person and lovey-dovey couple.

But I should say that their love story is kinda cool, and funny too. Just see when Tim try to cheer up Nicole, he simply tell her to put all of this behind them while chewing the gum. I meant, come on, just to ask for forgiven, a character in One Tree Hill or OC will do amazing and romantic thing to his girlfriend, while on the real world, man act like Tim!

The task

Enough of mumbling nonsense, let us get straight to the business.

Why did Kinetic lose? And did Angela really deserved to be fired?

Nicole came up with an idea. I thought it was good when on the paper, they said that they will have a better radius. But during the task implementation, they were just going around the Arrow's booth. That was the first mistake. Did not utilize the roller skate that they wore.

Again, I do believe that Nicole was too excited about the idea. I am not sure whether Kinetic made some promotion or not, but we can see that Arrow made some banner saying that you can get certain dollars off if you do this and that (I can't read because it was too fast, but the point is, they came up with a promotion).

Arrow didn't have any.

Arrow did not asked themselves whether roller skating was the best idea instead of booth. Remember, we can buy the sign of 'no salesman' from the supermarket, but we cannot stop the housewives from going to supermarket during sales. Going to one person to another is a bad idea for selling something expensive.

There was a lot of selling task in Apprentice, such as selling chocolate. Using roller skate seems to be efficient because everyone with even 20 bucks in his pocket might be interested to buy one. But to buy something with high price, it is not really efficient to go from one person to another. In the real world, we can see that ice-cream seller in ice-cream van sell more than vacuum cleaner salesman, in term of quantity.

Nicole had been saying about using sexuality to attract customer. Again, it is not working for high price things. Nobody think this way, 'that girl looks hot, let's see what she sells', except if you are looking for a hooker. That is why Arrow failed miserably this task.

Boardroom

One thing that I noticed this season is someone who gave a bad idea wasn't the one to be blame (refer to Tim's idea in the episode where Surya was fired). And I somehow agree with the system.

Arrow's brainstorming session was poor. One idea by Nicole, they got excited and that was it.

And was Angela deserved to be fired? I say yes, because when they were facing the problem created by Arrow, there was not any backup plan. When they realize that they are having a problem with it, project manager should be the one coming up with Plan B. And then, if she want to say in the boardroom that Nicole's idea is sucks, also saying that they were forced to come up with a backup plan, that is the time she will remain in the game and Nicole would be the one to go.
