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 6 of 6)
Everyone has pretty much given up on Tana, and Carolyn chastises, “Tana, they’re beads. They’re five little beads.” Tana argues, “But they made a difference.” Trump is SO about to fire her, even revving up his little speech that would precede the final two words: “They made a difference in how you lost, because you spend so much time going to Staten Island that you didn’t have time to sell.” Now all Alex would have to do is keep his trap shut and watch Tana get her booty kicked, but he opens his fat mouth to repeat again, “Well, I think what hurt us is the marketing. If we would have sat down and said, ‘What is the objective here—why do we have this pop art?’” Dude, we get it. And stop making me use quotations within quotations for God’s sake. Not everything needs to be an example.
Tana blames their marketing oversights on both of them, with which Alex surprisingly agrees. It’s really hard to lay blame when there are only two people. Honestly, it’s like farting in an elevator and then pointing to the other guy to say, “You did it.” Trump starts up his “I’m going to fire Tana” speech again by being all condescending about her desire to put beads on shirts. Again, he brings up the disproportionate number of “killers” in New York.
Ah, now here is where Tana gets her panties all in a bunch and starts defending herself and her accomplishments. Trump even starts to look interested in what she has to say, and then she nails it by bringing up her track record. “My record is better than Alex’s. I was a project manager three times, and I won two times. One of them was a defeat over Alex.”

Alex looks completely befuddled, especially when Trump starts hammering him with statistical questions. Alex completely forgets that he was project manager three times and lost twice, which is a point that Trump grabs onto and never lets go. Alex brings up some irrelevant analogy to some New Jersey team of some sport with some guy I’ve never heard of. But the damage has been done. Trump recites, “I think Tana, you were terrible, but I will say that in the last weeks you’ve been pretty terrific.” Voiceover Trump then says, “In this task, even though you both failed at the marketing, Tana came up with the ideas and did most of the yelling, while Alex, it almost seemed like you sat back and hoped that she failed.” Woo hoo! Alex is out!
Alex’s driver must be suffocating from all the hot air that’s being vented into his cab. Alex goes on and on for a while about how he has SO MANY business ideas and CAN’T WAIT to go home and get started. “I can go forward, and I can start a brand new life.” Sure dude. Call me when you make your first million off the Pack Rat.

Tana, they’re beads. They’re five little beads.
