| A Sudden Dark Horse |
I see! The women have not been totally zapped the way I thought and Amy definitely does still have potential and I was totally ridiculous saying she hadn't done anything at all thus far, except flirt with Nick.
I didn't realise the advertising idea on Versacorp's rickshaws was hers! I thought it was Bill's, because while it all happened there were extended moments of the rest of Versacorp looking at him as if he were getting over-excited at an idea that wouldn't work. I was staring at their mugs so intently I somehow thought it had been the advertising he was talking about.
But it wasn't and now I remember that he only ever suggested girls and people in costumes. What did he actually do in the task then and why didn't he give Amy more credit? I don't remember him giving her credit for the idea in the boardroom.
I'm delighted to have realised this because it suggests she could have the potential to do something excellent, like beating Nick. That would be divine - if she did their relationship would be kaput because he'd never be able to accept having a relationship with someone more successful than him.
To her extra advantage she's been very diplomatic throughout and she's the only one Omarosa liked for a bit!
She's also the only woman out of all of them I see Carolyn actually maybe coping with. She is indeed totally hectic. I have to Heidiclass myself and say - do you think she ever gets a shag? When Heidi mentioned the people on the streets of New York needing sex she was obviously trying to send Carolyn some kind of cryptic message - why else did Carolyn dislike her so much with that whole woman-to-woman thing? Mmmm - the plot sssickens.
Speaking of the advertising for the rickshaws - I strongly suspect Nick was trying to sabotage Bill when he gave the restaurateur all his money back because of what he called his "business ethics". Alternatively he was being a coward because the New York restaurateur he was wheeling and dealing with sounded like he catered to those who say "tainks foir dat" after they've killed someone.
I thought they'd find it much easier making money off the rickshaws and reckon all SA's major cities need the same thing. Maybe everyone could be forced to park their cars on the outskirts and then get rickshawed around. The Apprenti obviously got so little business because the New Yorkers were generally organised and knew what method of transport they were using already, and thus didn't need them.
Troy's idea to be a rickshaw cowboy definitely changed things for the Protege's but the energy output it required was totally not worth the measly amount they ended up getting. But if they hadn't gotten such a measly amount - say they'd been right up close to Versacorp and the amount of money that the restaurant paid Versacorp was the clincher - and Bill knew this - what would he have done? Would he have refrained from mentioning the broken board to the restaurateur at all and if he didn't - would that have been good or bad?
As for getting rickshaws to work in SA - they should be in different CBD sorts of areas.

I think it would sooo cool.
