Apprentice, 09302010

Apprentice by Donald Trump has a new season! This time, the contestants are not celebrities but common, unemployed people!!! That is good! Wait a minute... you said unemployed?? There is one woman that is not unemployed when she started the apprentice season! Huh??? How did she passed the audition as unemployed??? I guess she can get away with things because she is very pretty!!!! Nevertheless, she is a liar and a selfish person!! She could have given her spot to a real person that is unemployed! Why did she do it? Did she not like her job? Who knows what her motive was! Who are you talking about? Mahsa Saeidi Azcuy, an assistant DA in Brooklyn, New York. According to the news, she took a 2 month leave of absence from her job to be on the show without the knowledge of her boss and colleagues! As a result of being exposed, she resigned this week! Wow!!! Is she a contender for being the apprentice??? I guess we will have to wait for the finale!!! Also, people are comparing her to Amarosa, a previous apprentice contestant. I am not really sure why.

The task that was given to them by Donald was to manage a hotel and spa for pets. They will be judge for execution, creativity and sustainability, and overall performance.

The Octane group was led by James Weir, 31, from New York, New York, an unemployed attorney for 1 1/2 years. During the meeting with the owner of the establishment, James made the owners wait while he talked to his peers! Yikes! James! What were you thinking???? That is a no..no..True enough, the owners did not like that looking at the expression on their faces! That was not the only obstacle that he has to overcome. One of the men continued to aggravate him, so he threw him out!!! Who are we talking about? David Johnson, who was fuming when he was fired by James and he promised that he will nail him in the boardroom!!!

How about the women, Fortitude, that was led by Tyana Alvarado, 41, Miss Cougar California, an unemployed sales representative? Their idea was really good, which they called " Tailwag Tuesdays." They came up with this idea since Tuesday is the slowest day for the hotel and spa. Every pet owner will get a bag of goodies and a report card for the pet. At the back of the report card is a picture of the pet! They won and Tyana's reward was a mentoring by Russell Simmons, a successful entrepreneur!

One of the judges was Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer. Who do you think the judges chose? They did not like Octane since they have so many leaders. They liked the video camera concept but it was not enough to win!!!

In the boardroom, James got an earful from David and others of how he lacked leadership skills and lack of respect by people in his team. He chose to bring back David Johnson, 34, from Portage, Michigan, a once successful account manager, and Wade Hanson, 33, from Woodbury, Minnessota, a thriving real estate mogul before the recession, to the boardroom, much to Wade's surprise! In the end, James was fired! According to reports, James landed a job in the attorney general's office in New York! He is a practicing lawyer again!!! Good for him!!!

The recession really hit hard on many people, including the apprentice contestants. It is good that Trump is doing this, and not the celebrities, except there is only one winner! Well, that will be one less person collecting unemployment!!!! Sad!!!! Really sad!!!

Who do you think will become the apprentice?? Will it be Mahsa??? I guess we will have to wait for a few more weeks!!!
