The Apprentice
"The Apprentice" wasn't that exciting this week. It kind of reminded me of a sorority house with a lot of girl fighting. Usually I like that kind of stuff, but it has worn thin.
The teams were told to meet The Donald on the set of the soap opera "Passions." For those not familiar with this soap, it's one of a kind. A few story lines I have heard of were a puppet possessing people, a witch who shape shifts, etc.
I don't watch soaps but if I did, this one sounds like the craziest so I would probably watch it. Nicole is a HUGE fan of "Passions" so she's very excited to get to the set.
The task for today is to create a 45-second "Webisode" (which is an episode for the World Wide Web only) about Dial's new product, the soft scrub foaming cleanser.
Kinetic has Kristine as their leader again since they won the task last week. They are going to go with a more racy theme to their video.
The storyline is a woman visits her neighbor to borrow some of Dial's new product. When she is there, she sees some notes from her husband in her neighbor's house. SAUCY and I love it.
Problems arise, though, when Muna again disrupts the flow of the group and starts nitpicking about things in the Webisode. She insists she wants to be one camera, so Kristine folds against her better judgment and lets her do it.
James is the project manager for Arrow and this team is having a good time working on this project, as usual. Their storyline for the "Webisode" is a guy is cleaning his bathroom with Dial's new product so he can propose to his girlfriend.
The cute thing is Nicole and Tim are playing the boyfriend and girlfriend and they have been crushing on each other since the show began. Art imitating life?
The shot goes very smoothly and they are happy with the end product, which is a cute video with great product placement but not a great cliffhanger.
I can't say the same thing for Kinetic. Kristine, the project manager, leaves the shoot right when they begin shooting to go get props. Makes no sense to me. While she is gone, they realize that Muna is very hard to understand on camera because of her accent. Their video is racy, fun, and has a better cliffhanger but it's very hard to understand Muna and the product placement is poor.
The execs at Dial pick Arrow as the winning team because the product placement was a lot better than Kinetic. They get to take a private jet from Blue Star Jets to see the Terminator himself, Arnold! Fun times.
The boardroom goes as expected. Kristine rips Muna apart for being impossible to understand on camera but I think its Kristine's fault for leaving her own shoot and not asserting herself with Muna when challenged by her.
The nail in Muna's coffin was that Angela and Heidi both said they would prefer to work with Kristine rather than Muna. And just like that, Muna is fired!
