The Apprentice, Week 7:
Miniature Golf, Chelsea Piers, and Trump National Golf Club
Original Air Date: 3/3/05
(PAGE 5 of 6)
Back at the suite, Net Worth is all cranky and depressed. Audrey tries to powwow with Mother Angie. “Craig and John are going to eat you alive,” Mother Angie prophesizes.
Inside the boardroom: Audrey jumps into an explanation of Net Worth’s loss, laying the blame on promotion and marketing, a.k.a. flyering. John, who seems to be reciting from memory, says, “It was a complete mess from beginning to end, from the top down, and anyone at this table who disagrees with me, either has a very low expectation of leadership, or is simply lying because they’re maintaining their status for self-preservation.”
For a minute there, Trump tries to make Chris crap in his pants by calling him out on the tobacco chewing. It’s actually a really funny exchange, so here’s a piece of it:
“I had a dippin'.”
“I guess you’re addicted.”
“Yes, I would say I’m addicted.”
“That’s not good.”
“No sir, it’s not.”
”Especially for a clown.”
Audrey can’t understand why the PM always gets blamed when things go awry, which is sort of the point Tara was going for last week as well. Maybe we should be learning some major lessons here, kids. Audrey may rule, but I can’t forget the fact that she thinks that everyone else should be in charge of stuff, so that she can basically help out on whatever part of the task she wants, and therefore isn’t responsible for anything major that happens. I mean, I could be project manager if that’s all it took. And see how I pulled that off without ever saying “take accountability”?

Okay, at least Audrey’s fighting for herself. But when Trump points out, “But you still have to follow up,” all Audrey can do is grin cutely. Step up woman, this is your time! Oh, she’s about to speak and…awww, man. She counters with “John’s ability to promote this task was so embarrassing.”
Audrey gets pummeled over and over again as John attacks, “Why didn’t you step up and save our team? Because you were content to fail, because you wanted to bring me to the boardroom to get me fired.” C’mon Audrey, spunk up! And here she goes… “Mr. Trump, I think he was terrible.” Damn it, woman.
Blah, blah, blah, from hereon out. John tells Trump, in that smarmy condescending way of his, “I think she is what she is. She’s a 22-year-old girl.” Audrey rebuts that with, “Mr. Trump, he told me that I will be the most successful person who comes out of this entire deal, because I am beautiful and I have a good personality…that’s embarrassing.” Cry me a freakin’ river.
Dude, how I wanted Audrey to make it to the final four. But no, everyone except Angie wants to fire her. Oh wait, now she’s bringing Angie into the boardroom? Well, there goes that vote. She also gets to bring in John and Craig, making for a not-so-shocking, or even interesting, twist.
