"To Bee or Not To Bee" -
February 11
From new twists to the Rosie
war, theres plenty of buzz surrounding the Apprentice.
But maybe this time The Donald has gone too far
Off to the races, lets start week 5!
Sue Bee Honey is getting in the game this week. The
candidates will have to harvest bottle and sell the
honey, with the simple goal of making the most money.
Sounds sweet. Last years Apprentice, Sean Yazbeck will
be overseeing the task, so lets get started.
Stefani is freaking out. She is deftly afraid of the
bees and thinks the beekeeper suits arent nearly enough
protection.
Mind you, her fear wont stop her from getting the job
done. That should earn her about 10 points with Trump.
Arrow gets to the real task at hand trying to figure out
how to sell. In trying to select packaging, Surya turns
up the heat using so many technical terms that James is
confused. Not that it would take that much to confuse
James, just that laymans terms might have worked
better.
Aimee has become the new PM over at Kinetic, and is
working on selecting labels. She loves the yellow
background and with Jen they seem to be in agreement.
Problem! The rest of the team comes back from harvesting
honey and after 4 hours, they havent even named the
honey. Ouch! Kinetic may be continuing their downward
slide.
And now the Apprentice rendition of Abbot and Costello.
Frank and Tim are going bananas because Tim cant get
the honey to dispense properly into the bottles.
Everything is light hearted, but Frank is laying into
Tim pretty hard. Everyone else on the team is laughing
hard. But will they be laughing when the sales are added
up?
Back to Aimee bashing. Kinetic is pissed because they
are now at Ralphs grocery and still unable to sell as
they have no posters and no pricing. Eventually there is
a banner proclaiming Today is Honey Day. Ooh fancy
Arrow mind you is selling on the tagline of freshness
and they are selling them buy 2 get 1 free. At a price
of 4.99 they are off to a fast start. However, would
Trump ever give anything away for free?
In an attempt at bulk sales Arrow is also selling cases
to businesses at half price. Well, maybe selling is the
wrong word
Moving on.
Kinetic is getting desperate and Derek knows it. Thats
why he is dressed up in a beekeeper suit waking around
the store selling. Then in a moment of ultimate
shamelessness, Angela starts using her gold medal
prowess to hock the honey.
Really now, would you buy honey just because it was
bottled by an Olympian? Second thought, would you even
know that Angela Ruggiero was an Olympian in the first
place?
Lets get the verdict!
Arrow: 217 bottles for 775.48
Kinetic: 345 bottles for 836.58
Drop the bomb! Its moving day all over again as Arrow
will be hitting the backyard like its home sweet home.
Oh, and if you care, Kinetic gets to go and train along
side the L.A. Lakers as a reward. They get to play
basketball with frickin Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! Wow can
life be unfair to the viewers at home.
Anyway, lets get the gloves on and come out fighting!
The Boardroom:
The whining starts and there is a mild attack towards
Surya. Everyone is blaming him for being too technical
with the marketing and not putting together a real plan.
Aaron pushes more of the blame towards Surya only to run
into an Aimee roadblock. Aimee stick up for her former
teammate, questioning the rest of the team as to why
they blame him when she has worked with him before and
believes that he is a marketing star.
Aaron tries to answer by saying that he had greater
expectations. James and Tim add that they expected
greater foot traffic, and without people there can be no
sales.
Then Sean Yazbeck questions Aaron as to his leadership
style and the entire panel calls him out for being too
quiet. Its kind of hard to fly under the radar when you
are project manager. He says that he would have been
louder if Trump had told him to be that way, but Sean
points out that it is his job to be himself.
With that the discussion turns lighter as the heated
romance between Tim and Nicole is brought to light.
Trump points out that Tim could become his hero if he
pulls it off.
Now Aaron must name 2 people to come back. He names
Surya and Nicole, and Trump is shocked at Nicole being
named. Aaron says outright that he does not think that
she should be fired, but Trump still has all 3 come back
anyway.
With the final three there is a lot of talk but not a
lot of new information. As a result, Aaron is drug out
on the carpet for not being an active leader, not
selling when he is a salesperson, and mostly not
speaking up while in the boardroom as a winning PM.
Another Arrow member gone and the job interview moves
on. See who goes next, next week. |
