The Apprentice - Martha Stewart
Episode 2
*nodding head to theme music* hell I can't help it, it's catchy.
The door to the left opens suspensefully........ and Dawn and Jim walk in and there are cheers all around at Jeff's absence.
Jim, acting like the complete loon that he is, starts ranting and raving saying he was the architect of Jeff going home. WTF... he went home because his book idea sucked crap not because you pointed that fact out. He literally starts losing his voice from screaming. #30#
The task this week is to set up a flower business and the team with the most $ at the end wins the task. It always seems easy when you put it simply doesn't it?
[glow=blue,2,300]M[/glow] Chuck, the project manager, seems to have great ideas about the way to go. He proposed that they go wholesale, pick one kind of flower and keep it simple.
Jim freaks out to Chuck on the phone because his idea is completely off the mark. Jim wants to sell flower arrangements to hotels. Chuck told him that they can't do that because hotels would already have a flower provider, probably even a contract.
The team continues to break down from the stress.
Random Thought - I am positive that Jim must be an escape from a nearby mental institution.
- Insert Martha Stewart Magazine plug here -
[glow=blue,2,300]M[/glow] Back to Matchstick, chaos is still running rampant as a theme is discussed. Chuck blurts out that he's handing over the title of project manager and leaving. OK, i'm no psychic but if this team loses Chuck is going home because Martha will never tolerate a quitter. I'm sure it's one of her deadly sins.
The team ends up convincing Chuck to stay and he steps up and takes back the reins. He puts down his foot on ideas and they move forward. In my opinion it's too little too late.
[glow=red,2,300]P[/glow] Primarius enter their store space and the project manager deligates tasks. They have an idea to try to snag a celebrity florist to come and make arrangements to sell. They succeed in doing this by getting Renee Homestead to display his work. Cheers all around.
[glow=blue,2,300]M[/glow] The girls go out all sexed up to try to attract men to come and purchase tulips. OMG!! Guess what? They could care less aboout the tulips. Sex won't sell tulips unless a guy F'd up and has to buy some for the wife after she found out he was boinking the secretary....
Shawn and Jim do all of the painting and setting up at the store while the girls stroll in from streetwalking.
A fight breaks out over brass cleaner because Jim wants some and the girls say it's not something they should worry about. Jim starts screaming at them to leave the store. This guy is a few d**n sandwiches short of a picnic.
Cut to Chuck on the step crying and whining. "This is a disaster, Martha is gonna hate me." Boo freaking hoo.... you're the disaster.
This team is going to hell in a hurry. They have absolutely NO advertising exceppt the very *friendly* personty girls walking the street like a bunch of hookers.
[glow=red,2,300]P[/glow] It's the next day and sales of their designer flower arrangements start slow because the prices are so high. The cheapest thing is $45. Probably the $ signs in front of the arrangements are turning people off. The store looks great though....empty but great.
[glow=blue,2,300]M[/glow] Matchtick has girls dressed up as dutch girls skipping up and down the street. Dear Lord, they just can't do anything right. They seem to be selling a fair amount of their tulips though. They better sell a boat load too because I have a feeling that Martha isn't gonna like the dutch girl very *friendly* persons.
[glow=red,2,300]P[/glow] The team starts to argue about the high prices but they decide to take away the price cards from the table and "suggest" prices and haggle a little instead. This idea was Renee's which I think was actually very nice of him to help because he could have been a prick and stuck to the prices. Money seems to be coming in hand over fist now.
Conference Room
How many times can Martha say "Martha Stewart/OMNI Enterprises" gag me.
Primarius sold $1186 worth of flowers and Matchstick made $969 so Matchstick will be facing elimination again.
As a reward Primarius helped transform a garden for a volunteer organization for children. A very interesting reward and not a typical one either. It's a very nice idea though. Giving can be just as rewarding as getting, if not more. Now I'm getting all verklempt.
Random Thought - if this gag me Ashley Judd American Beauty commercial plays again I am really gonna gag.
Jim starts his campaign to get Dawn out. He says "Dawn is a virus" over and over right in earshot of Dawn. How mean is that? Then he keeps calling her a cancer of the group. This guy has the whole mob mentality thing down doesn't he? Too bad he's the mental one.
Back at the conference room Marha asks what went wrong and Chuck told her delegation.
Martha says the task had no creativity and she hated the use of the Dutch girl costumes. The team defended themselves by saying they were Dutch tulips. Martha still thought it was extremely tacky.
Chuck says he takes complete responsibility and Jim starts his attack on Dawn. Dawn then lists her contributions to the task.
Chuck is asked to pick two people to come back and he picks Jim and Dawn.
When they come back in Martha starts lecturing them like six year olds about quitting, complaining and whining. The high and mighty has so spoken to the kids.
Random Thought - On the commercial break I'm thinking that this version of the Apprentice is missing something. I mean it's an ok show on it's own and it's similar to the original, but there's something very different about it. Maybe it's the way Martha is but something icks me out.
We come back to the Conference Room, Chuck says the greatest conflict with the team is between Dawn and Jim and that's why he brought them back to the Conference Room in order to flush out the problem.
Her Royal Creativeness starts going on a tangent about her never quitting and how when she went to prison and still didn't give up. *tiny violin playing* Chuck ends up getting the boot for not being as good a team leader and for being a quitter.
Noe the two team supervisors kiss Martha's ass, telling her how right she was, then she writes Chuck his gaggy letter about never giving up.
