Week 3: "Trouble Brewing"
Original Air Date: 2/3/05
(PAGE 6 of 6)
Both George and Carolyn agree that it was super duper dumb of Danny to bring in a guy who’s exempt. Duh.
I’ll say one thing: no one can accuse Trump of being indirect. “Michael, they do not like you. Did you do badly because you were exempt…or because you’re incompetent?” Since Michael so obviously knows that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on, he sputters out something about how he had the best ideas, but they weren’t reciprocated. By “reciprocated,” I think he means “implemented,” but hey, whatever.
Trump asks Michael if he thinks Danny is a good leader. In a wildly convoluted response, Michael answers, “Just because he wears polyester suits and plays guitar that [doesn’t mean] he’s not a great advertising person, nor is he a good leader.” I’m not sure if that means Danny sucks or not. Or if he’s a snappy dresser.
Stephanie snarkily jumps in, “Not when it comes to decision making. Neither one.” This season may well be all about class warfare, but Trump just can’t stop himself from pushing the gender battle again, informing Stephanie, “You think they’re two male losers.” Now, come on. Was that really necessary? “Cor-RECT” Stephanie says like a big old dork. ‘Kay, I guess it was.
Ew, I just realized Danny has his hair in a scrawny little ponytail!
Trump, perhaps hoping for a Sweaty Brian repeat, asks Michael if he deserves to be fired.
Michael disagrees, saying, “I think I did a great job.” Carolyn can’t help but snigger at that one. “A great job in what?”

In an attempt to string us along just for a little while longer, Trump hammers away at Michael, who really is kind of a tool: “You did a terrible job. I don’t think you did anything close to being good.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t realize that Stephanie is a meanie and tells her that she doesn’t need to worry about getting fired.
All right then, it’s now down to one. Danny. Trump tells him, “In my opinion, you paid too much money to the event planner. You know what I hated more than anything else… you choose one person who’s exempt. That either shows a lot of imagination or somebody who doesn’t want to play by the rules…I have to live by the rules.” Aw, come on! This is The Apprentice. Rules schmules. Ooops, I guess I shouldn’t be saying that on this website…ah, well.
Bye bye, Danny. Thankfully, I can’t get too emotional about his departure, because he tortures us with one last song. But in tribute to the sweet freak show that is Danny, here are his final words:
“There I was, strung out in the boardroom.
There I was, hung out left to dry.
So I was, still with my integrity.
So I am, here having fun.
Just a good time, meeting Donald, Carolyn, and George there too.
All the people on my team,
just did they come through (I don’t think so) for me?
It’s okay; it’s good. I’m still who I am.
Rock and roll.”
