Apprentice, 11042010

In this episode, Donald Trump changes the team. Fortitude now has David, Poppy, Stephanie and Anand, while Octane consists of Clint, Brandy, Liza and Steuart.

What was the task? To design a 4 page advertisement for the clothing line - shirts, ties and cuff links, of Donald Trump's signature clothing which is available at Macy's. Trump gave the team a warning that this task is very personal to him, so they need to impress him!! Of course, it is personal to him, it is not only his collection, but he is thinking of the revenue that will be generated to add to his bundle of money!!!! Got it??? The team will be judged by Terry Lundgren, President and Chairman of Macy's, according to 3 criteria: creativity, brand integration and overall presentation! The project manager of the winning team will be meeting with Terry Lundgren.

David was the project manager of Fortitude. Their motif was everything in black, which David thought was original and classy except the shirts and ties should be in color. The model showed up and instantly, David had all but praises for the young model, which Anand jokes David about some " man crush." Wow! That was deep, Anand!!! Do you think that is what prompted the fussing to each other of David and Anand??? Who knows?? David delivers the presentation without rehearsing. The judges liked the contrasting colors on the models, but seemed concerned about the ill- fitting clothes on the models!

The project manager for Octane was Brandy, who immediately proposes something sexual. Clint also suggested sex, power and wealth as the presentation's motif. It will be a woman on a bed wearing a men's clothing the morning after! Steuart and Brandy were going to meet with the models, only to find out that the models were nowhere in sight! Steuart and Brandy made an executive decision, to be the models of their team!! Eric Trump visited Octane and applauded Brandy for taking an additional work as a model, but he was concerned that her other duties might be shortchanged! Eric was also concerned about the raciness of the photoshoot for Trump's image!! During presentation, Brandy stumbles on her delivery, calling it Trump collection. It should have been Donald J. Trump Signature collection!

Well, who was the winner??? Although Terry Lundgren likes Fortitude's motif, he did not pick it because of the model not fitting in the shirt! Terry Lundgren decided that he likes Octane's ad so much that he is going to use it in a major Macy's campaign! So, sex surely sells???? Of course, it does!!! But that seems to be a new image for Donald Trump, is it not??? Ha! Ha! Ha! It is about time!!! He is married to a beautiful woman and is always surrounded by beautiful women across the universe!!!!

In the boardroom, Trump asks Brandy if she was having an affair with Steuart which she calmly denied, and said that she prefers older men!!! Whoa!!! Donald Trump!!! Your mind is in the gutter!!! I did not know you are a " DOM ," dirty, old man!!! Whoopsie, you were so intrigued with their performances, you just have to blurt it out!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! That tells us, you are as human as the rest of us...only with more money!!!! So, who got fired? David Johnson, 34, of Portage, Michigan!

Reality Show

There are new reality shows since it is September!!! Do I hear clapping or chuckling or disgust???? Well, well well, whether we like it or not, reality shows are here to stay!!! For one thing, reality shows are cheaper to produce than the regular shows!!! The contestants does not have to be paid, they are only housed and fed, is that not right??? Sure, there is a prize money, but with the ads I think the producers are ahead!!!! How about the host??? They get paid with a good amount of money, for example, Jeff Probst of the Survivor gets paid $150,000 per episode or around $600, 000 per the whole 10 episodes!!! But this is peanuts as opposed to the regular shows!!! Tina Fey is making as much as $350,000 per episode!!! Wow!!! There is a big disparity in the pay!!!! Why??? I do not know!!!! Ask the producers!!!!! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Testy! Testy! Testy!

Survivor premiered 2 days ago. As far as I know, there are 20 contestants: 10 old folks that belong to the Espada group and 10 young ones that belong to La Flor group. The episode was filmed in Nicaragua .Wow!!! The old versus the young ones!!! That is not fair!!! For sure the young ones has an advantage over the old foggeys. Do not be too sure about that because there are some oldies that are made of steel and very resilient!!! What are you talking about??? I do not think so, the age ranges from 41 to 67!!! The young ones range from 20 to 30!!! That is all i can say about the show for now since I missed it.

The other show that premiered last night was the apprentice. The contestants are all unemployed ranging from a financial advisor to a sales rep to a lawyer! I could not believe that even lawyers are unemployed! What is happening in this crazy world of ours??? You said it, the world has gone berserk!!!!So, what happened in the show??? I do not know since I did not really watch it. We had company but I saw Donald Trump still with his signature hairdo!!!! So, I cannot say anything also about the show. Oh, well. Maybe next time when all the guests are gone and everything is back to normal.

I have to cut my blog short since I am feeling soooo sleepy and tired. Until next time...may God bless all of us!!!!!
