"King of the Jingle" -
April 3 Dan was
fried for not bringing back Lenny and Tareks return is
not received with much pleasure. Charmaine personally
was more than ready to see the last of him.
Bryce tried to pull everyone together on Gold Rush by
stating in a meeting that everyone needs to learn how to
play nice
[Last time I checked, niceness was not necessary]
Tarek seems to resent that fact that Bryces comments
are aimed at him and he tells everyone that he would be
nicer if everyone didnt attack home solely because they
felt threatened by him.
[Remember, on reality TV, saying that people are
threatened by you generally means the person who said it
recognizes that fact that they are dead in the water]
Just as the candidates are about to get their next task
we find that Lee will be absent due to the Jewish
Holiday. His team seems to respect this but one has to
wonder when his absence will cost him.
Anyway, if you didnt know Arbys is releasing brand new
Chicken Naturals Sandwiches. The teams will be making
and performing jingles for the new sandwiches with the
winner being selected by the executives at Arbys
[A songwriting task. They really need one of these on
American Idol]
Charmaine immediately jumps on the horn and schedules a
meeting for 10:15.
[Yes, this is another situation of someone not giving
themselves enough time to travel in the city]
Sean is leading Synergy and he brings his entire team to
meet with the Arbys execs. Synergy seems very positive
and they believe that they can forward the message well
that Arbys is more than roast beef.
Its now 10:39. The aforementioned Gold Rush has still
not arrived for their meeting. Once the finally arrive,
they receive a heavy scolding.
[Yes, scold the irresponsible children.]
Synergy is still rock solid. They come up with simple
lyrics and a jingle is born. They are already in the
studio and harmonizing with their musicians
Meanwhile at Gold Rush, Lenny is claiming to not know
what a jingle is... He does think however adding chicken
sounds will enhance the jingle.
[Apparently mother Russia doesnt like to sell in song]
After excessive arguing, however, Bryce feels that the
team has come together very well and feels that they
have produced a great vintage feel jingle.
Its time to hit the stage!
Synergys musicians jump on stage and hit a great
jingle. When Im thinking Arbys Im think Chicken
Naturals
. and all that jazz.
[It was very catchy, and a Kylie Minogue Cant Get it
out of Your Head Way]
More importantly it grossly outclassed the vintage
jingle of Gold Rush
[The only thing that should be vintage are jeans]
So how do you know who won, other than the comparison
that was just given to you? Just do the Trump-toosie.
The Donald was shaking it to Synergy and wouldnt even
lean back for Gold Rush.
The Arbys execs agree, citing that the message in
synergys jingle was stronger in addition to better
music.
Synergy will be enjoying a ridiculously expensive
Truffle dinner.
{Wonder if they serve truffles at Arbys}
Gold Rush on the other hand has reservations at Chez
Trump with preferred seating in the boardroom.
Bryce is heavily dejected and refuses to sink to a lower
level to protect his hide. Charmaine recognizes this
pointing out that Bryce is not here playing a game.
[I can name one person behind a keyboard right now who
isnt playing the game either. Not playing the game is a
kiss of death. See Marcellas Big Brother Veto.]
Regardless in the boardroom Gold Rush for the first time
stands as a united front. There is little bickering.
Bryce points at Lenny for not being able to contribute
and Lenny claims that he cant write a jingle. Bill
Rancic calls him out saying that having lived in the
U.S. over a decade he must have some clue.
Then comes the issue of being late at the meeting. The
team gets chided and the only fact that comes out is
that Charmaine scheduled the meeting.
Time to make some picks. Bryce brings back Lee and Lenny
and everyone else is sent back to the suite.
Bryce claims that they lost the task due to lack of
creative input thus why Lenny and Lee are on the
chopping block. Lenny continues to defend that he
doesnt know jingle but the real argument surrounds why
Bryce would bring Lee back into the boardroom when he
was observing a religious holiday. Especially when
Charmaine and Tarek both missed the mark on this task.
Arguing in this case truly is futile and Lee and Lenny
dont even need to defend themselves. With sadness,
Bryce Youre Fired!
He may have brought the team together, but he didnt
play the game and as a result he lost sight of the main
goal. The cab ride home will be a long on, but how much
longer can Tarek survive with Trump calling for his
blood. Read on to find out. |
