Kwame Jackson defeated by Bill Rancic on The Apprentice
Come on, you knew it would be Bill, right? After he successfully coordinated a golf event while Kwame struggled mightily with a big assist from Omarosa's sabotage tactics, it was even more obvious who would win. Now he gets to overlook another big money Trump project, the building of a hotel/condo which fittingly is in his hometown of Chicago. Unlike other reality TV contestants he will have to spend the next year earning his $250,000 instead of walking away with a check.
The quick reunion was priceless. Trump confronts Omarosa about being a bald faced liar and she talks about something else. Then Ereka calls her a flat out liar, which is what she is. Tell me, is Omarosa bi-polar or what's the deal? She is one strange woman and likely the most hated reality TV personality in hitory. For more details on how we got down to Bill and Kwame, push "read more". I don't think I could have made it another day without seeing Donald Trump's gaudy apartment overlooking New York city. It looked like something out of ancient Greece with everything in sight gold plated. Let me tell you, walls of marble aren't cheap. Of course, the opener wasn't all about him.
David Gould was the first to be fired and had two great quotes. The first I'll give verbatum, which is on his NBC profile: "I'm smarter than the competition. I'll out-think them". Then during his ominous limo ride out he sighed something to the effect that there is no correlation between IQ and selling lemonade. Come again? Yeah there is dummy, and running people down like an idiot doesn't get the job done.
You see, job #1 was for the male team (self named Versacorp) to try selling more lemonade than the female team (self named Protege Corporation) given $250 startup cash. It wasn't even close.The best male moment for me was when wild card Sam Solovey (watch this guy) tried to coerce a fella to buy a cup of lemonade for a thousand bucks. If he had pulled it off, the men would have won the competition.
The best female moment was Tammy Lee taking a lunch break while the others sweated it out. I think I know now why she didn't try out for Survivor.
Pretty hard to tell a whole lot about most of the other folks, but we'll see plenty of clawing and scratching as the weeks go on. Only one person can win the one year "high paying" job for Trump. Any favorites?
Subtlety is not one of my strengths
