The Apprentice, Week 14:
Hanes Commemorative T-Shirts, Pop Artists Burton Morris and Romero Britto, and Rockstar Couture
Original Air Date: 4/28/05
(PAGE 3 of 6)
Doesn’t matter. Tana and Alex are heading to Staten Island. “Dude, that’s hella far,” Alex says. Word up. Now, how come they get to take taxis, while Stephanie Myers had to brave the New York subway to Brooklyn for her pizzas? (See how that pizza episode is still sticking with me? Mmm… meatballs.)
In the cab, Alex announces, in what sounds like a completely scripted scene, “We gotta think about how we’re going to steer traffic in the store.” We have a very unfortunate up-the-nose shot of Tana—Alex too, but especially Tana—before she tunes him out to talk to the store manager on the phone. Alex moans and whines that Tana is not interested in marketing, although I don’t understand why he couldn’t just come up with a few ideas on his own, instead of being all like, “I can’t think of anything unless we brainstorm.” Still, in the car, Tana reassures him that they’ll discuss marketing on the way home. Why not now? She’s off the phone. Geez, these people act like nothing can get accomplished unless they’ve scheduled an official “meeting” time and have their yellow legal pads out.
Alex snarks that he’s keeping a list of all of Tana’s bad decisions. See? See? Now why couldn’t he use that paper to write down marketing ideas instead?

Craig and Kendra bicker about pricing, showing that Craig is the most annoying passive aggressive jerk ever to grace my TV screen. Last week, I had the remote control ready and aimed at his head. This week, watch out, I got an Eskimo Pie in my hand. The man answers everything with an obnoxious question. Kendra says, “We could sell the short sleeve for $20 and the long sleeve or $25, or something.” Craig is all, “Or something. What is that something?” She says she doesn’t want to price it too high. “What’s too high?” Then she agrees with him to price it higher and comments that they can always change the price if people aren’t buying, and Craig is all, “Once we decide on the price we just have to go with it.” Grrrr...
Craig finally starts chewing Kendra out, telling her that he doesn’t feel they managed their time well today. Kendra, quite logically, asks if he has a list of stuff that he thinks still needs to be done. “Yes, I did, and I mentioned them to you.” Okay, well what were those things? “It’s irrelevant.” Oh, please. That’s the equivalent of little kids who argue, “You’re a douchebag.” “No, you’re a douchebag!” “You don’t even know what a douchebag is!” “Yuh-huh.” “Oh yeah, what’s it mean?” “I’m not telling a douchebag like you!”
Sigh, of course Kendra must respond with a rousing (say it with me, folks), “That wasn’t communicated to me.” Craig gets all pissy and does quite a funny imitation of Kendra’s wide-eyed, mouth-hanging-open puppy face that she makes all the time. Still, she keeps asking him what he thinks still needs to be done, and he keeps saying they’re irrelevant. Finally, the only example he can muster is, “We have a heart on our shirt; I said stars.” Dude, so not an issue to be worrying about at this point. Kendra wonders, “Is it just me, or is Craig just a butthole?” That makes me laugh. As the cab shoots off in the New York streets, we can hear Kendra begging Craig to stop talking, while Craig is actually repeating, “Talking, talking, talking...”
