The Apprentice, Week 9: Home Depot, The Box, and Zero G
Original Air Date: 3/17/05
(PAGE 4 of 6)
Bren is glowing, “The highlight for me was being able to do all those things as a little fat kid I couldn’t do off the diving board into the swimming pool.” Awww, now I feel even worse for making fun of the stupid hair.
Mr. Not Only Do I Overexplain my Sarcasm But I Can Also Beat a Metaphor to Death says, “There’s a big contrast to be made between Magna Corp. who are up in the lower stratosphere, flipping around, lighter than air…while Erin and Stephanie are also ‘space cadets,’ they were ‘firmly grounded’ in the ‘gravity’ that one of the two of ‘them’ are going to get ‘fired’ tonight.” Thanks for that, “Alex.”
Obviously feeling weighed down by all the gravity, Angie tells Erin that she’s going into the boardroom. Erin shrugs and flips her hair. “I’m having a ball. I mean this is fine by me.” She tells us, “I have fun in the boardroom because every time I speak it’s poignant and it’s accurate.” Right. Because every employer is seeking poignancy in their staff.
Inside the boardroom, Trump asks, “Angie, why did you lose?” She jumps into an explanation about how they have a smaller team and that Erin “decided to sign off from the beginning and not be involved.” Erin agrees but says that even though she didn’t know squat about Home Depot, she tried to contribute. “I don’t know how to use a power tool,” she giggles. “You sound like Paris Hilton,” Trump says.

Erin tries to overtalk Angie by listing the “four fatal reasons” that made them fail. With a “tut tut,” Trump cuts her off and lets Angie speak instead, which was a complete diss to Erin’s boobs. Erin’s boobs are offended, and she accuses Angie of slandering her. “So sue her,” Trump says. Erin winks. Winks I tell you! “I’m not in the mood.”
I swear, it’s like George Ross is totally in tune with what will set off Chris’s psycho vibes. He rags on Erin just the teeniest bit about her non-versatility, and this makes Chris screech, “That’s 100 percent true! She kept herself as much indifferent as possible.” As much as indifferent as what, I don’t know. But I LOVE seeing Chris teeter on the edge.
Erin admits, “I was out of my element in being here,” to which Angie jabs way below the belt with, “Seems like you’re out of your element in being here.” Erin resorts to the standard popular girl comeback, which involves a lip snarl, an eyebrow raise, and a, “Actually I think you are.” Usually that line is in response to something more like, “You’re a ho” or “You smell not so fresh.”
Still, the girl knows how to fight. As soon as Trump refers to Chris as a “wild man,” Erin attacks: “He’s also bad at working with people. He completely lacks professionalism, chews tobacco all day, and he curses nonstop.” I dunno why, but the whole tobacco thing yields the most priceless conversations:
Trump: “I don’t want a guy who works for me who chews tobacco.”
