Week 9: “Bringing the House Down”
Bad Contractors, “Nasty” Boardrooms, and Formal Firings
(PAGE 2 of 2)
Sandy is suddenly all smiles for the appraisers after last night’s crying jag. Her dead-on impersonation of Annette Bening in American Beauty is creepier than Jennifer C’s evil grin.
Wow, Raj really screwed up. Cause pretty much anyone can install a bathroom, refinish a kitchen, lay new carpet, and side a house in two days.
You get a phone book, you pick a name, you hire an incompetent to renovate your house, you get fired. And this has something to do with predicting future business success?
Still, the mud and the paint on the stairs? Not so good. I would have barricaded the door and yelled, “Coming,” as I desperately found something to cover up the truth. Wait, that’s not a good reality show; that’s a bad sitcom.
Jennifer Massey bares her claws for Raj: “You need me to go after Ivana, I’ll do it.” Where was she when Amy Fisher needed her ten years ago?
Jennifer M., continuing her tilt to the dark side: “I hope some members of the team are afraid of me.” Well, if they weren’t, they sure will be after seeing this episode.
Jennifer M. to Ivana: “You think you’re gonna bring me down? I don’t think so.” Jen, what’s the value in trashing Ivana to her face? Why not do it more subtly in the boardroom? Wait, don’t tell me! You were trying to get a job on the Young and the Restless in case this Apprentice thing doesn’t work out.
At least we know that Jennifer M. isn’t a slave to being well-liked.
Scratch that, after Jennifer gives the worst forced laugh in history in response to Trump’s lame joke about how his wearing a tuxedo is going to make it a “formal firing.”
Ivana calls out the mistakes of Stacie J. who was fired weeks ago, and Trump calls her “nasty” for it. It might not rank up there with being called “crazy,” but coming from the big boss, it’s gotta hurt a bit more.

Right sentiment, wrong time: Chris opens his big yap—after he’s free to head up to the suite—to tell Trump that his team has no chemistry.
For all of her railing about the inability of the women to get along, the Ice Queen doesn’t have much tolerance for Chris’ criticism, does she?
If you’re gonna go down, go down swinging: Raj responds to Ivana’s accusations of poor leadership by offering her a chance to work for him one day.
Just in case Ivana is under the delusion that she might win and doesn’t need Raj’s job, Trump reminds her that they “don’t think she’s great.”
Bravo to Raj for standing up to Trump, who wanted him to change his mind and bring Chris into the boardroom for no performance-based reason, in order to can him a la Bradford. Raj may have sacrificed himself, but at least he had some integrity.
That is, until he leaned over Robin’s desk and asked for her number, just seconds after getting the boot.
Who was fired? Raj.
Who should have been fired? Raj.
Why? Hate to say it, but ultimately, Raj was responsible for the bold decision to knock out a wall, install a bathroom, and yes, accept Kevin’s crappy contractor. It seems unfair that one guy should take the fall for hiring the wrong guy to execute the job since there was no way of knowing, but if one guy’s gotta go, it’s the PM. Sorry, Raj. The Apprentice is a less dandy show without you.
