Week 4: "Soap Dopes"
Original Air Date: 2/10/05
(PAGE 8 of 9)
Trump wants to know if Audrey would fire Kristen or someone on the other team. “I would fire Kristen,” she says promptly. I’m a tad worried that he might call her out on the disloyalty card, but consistency has never been Trump’s strong suit.
Erin doesn’t want anyone from her team fired because “these people are my family…at the end of the day, I always like my family better than somebody else’s family.” Sure. We’ll see if she’s still taking the high-and-mighty road by the time the final six roll around.
“Should I fire you?” Trump wants to know. Maybe he’s waiting for a Brian McDowell-esque answer of “Yes. Yes you should.” But no, Erin’s too wise for that. She defends herself like, well, a lawyer on a job interview: “Absolutely not. I stepped up to the plate, in a situation where I had no experience. I showed honor, I showed integrity, and I showed courage, and I think those are characteristics that the Trump organization would be proud to see in its newest employee.” Phew. People, give it a rest.
Carolyn, sweet brilliant Carolyn, sticks to the basic issue at hand, which is the fact that Net Worth’s commercial featured a model rubbing body wash on his face and wiping it off without water. “It was disgusting. I don’t understand why you couldn’t get these models to just take the water, splash it on.”
But we never really get a clear answer on that one. Tana says it’s because the models were never asked to put water on their faces. Audrey says it was part of John’s original concept, but Kristen didn’t pull it off. Kristen explains that John wasn’t there for the shooting. It’s all really quite confusing. Still,
somehow Audrey, who gets the last word in because she’s cuter than Kristen, manages to sneak in an a-ha! “She just answered her own question…why was there no water thrown on? Because John wasn’t present.” All Kristen can do is sputter, “That’s not why—I did not just say that.”

Kristen, who’s not hot enough to get Trump’s attention, is already pegged for disaster at this point. “Kristen, aren’t you saying that you had no control over your team? It sounds like you have no control over your team.” The man is nothing if not the master of rhetorical questions.
Erin is almost as attractive as Audrey, so she gets a reprieve: “Erin, you made a terrible commercial, and I don’t want to be associated with something that was that bad. But I’m very impressed with the fact that you kept that team together, and therefore you saved those two guys from being fired tonight.”
Then Trump rails right back into Kristen, who at this point really just needs to be fired and put out of her misery. She keeps trying to fight back, commenting that her team is full of hard people to lead, but Trump’s having none of that. She goes for the last desperate pitch, which is, “I know what the Trump organization is looking to hire, and I know that I’m definitely an incredible candidate for that. I know that I’m a great leader.” Nope, not working. And Kristen is fired.
“Everybody. Out.”

These people are my family…at the end of the day, I always like my family better than somebody else’s family.
