Last night's task was to create a radio jingle for Arby's Chicken Natural's (a sandwich company whose products are natural or something like that) Donald Trump's favourite sandwich company *roll eyes*
Anyway, the teams got to work on the radio jingle and team Gold Rush (Lennie's team) struggled in the beginning with Lennie showing how lost he was in the coming up with any semblence of a workable idea. First he wanted the jingle to have the sound of bells, as in jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. *his team mates rolled their eyes for you*. Then he wanted them to have a line along the lines of *what came first, the chicken or the egg? Try Arby's Chicken Naturals to find out* or something to that effect. Clearly this wasn't something he knew anything about but he tried to throw in ideas as BEST he could.
Synergy, the other team were on a creative overflow with Roxanne showing her melodic talents by coming up with a jingle in the lift (elevator if you wish). The team then worked together to make the jingle sound even better and they came up with a good jingle although it did sound more like a song than anything. I don't remember what Andrea did during the task though. Anyway, in the end, theirs was judged the best because they remembered to include the words THE ONLY NATURAL CHICKEN in their song. Their reward was the most expensive meal flown all the way from Italy with Sean showing off his English and American accents and the girls liking it. I couldn't hear the difference just by the way.
Anyway, the losing team went to the boardroom where the non-loser was fired. Bryce chose Lennie and Lee (who was observing a religious holiday during the task and had no reason to be in the boardroom) to be in the boardroom with him. He failed to convincingly explain why he chose Lee to come to the boardroom over Charmaine whose fault it had been that they were over 25minutes late to a meeting with the execs at the start of the task.
My problem is that Trump wants the people that came up with ideas to be fired. The other week he wanted to fire Michael for coming up with a 'gowns theme' to some task. I don't get this at all. What he is saying is that don't even risk coming up with an idea cause if it fails, you're out! Shouldn't the project manager ultimately be responsible for the idea he rolls with? In this case, my problem with Bryce leaving was that Lennie knew nothing, did very little and Trump has already said he's sakiting on thin ice! Should THE APPRENTICE perform well at all tasks?? Clearly, Lenny is not going to be the next apprentice and last night he didn't do much to show that he could be the next one so why would Trump let go of someone like Bryce? I can't even hear a single sentence that comes out of Lenny's mouth!!!
