I just finished watching The Apprentice Season 6: Los Angeles tenth episode.
The task was to sell the most tickets for Universal Studios using its new technological device that allows the attendant to scan credit cards on the spot. Both teams competed mano-o-mano in close proximity to each other for the very same customers.
Whew, I had thought Nicole might be the scapegoat and be fired. Although it was her idea to rollerskate and sell tickets, at least she put forward a suggestion. And she did tell the team exactly what to expect. Angela, as much as I wanted her to stay, was ultimately accountable for the loss. The reality is that Team Kinetic did not have fire in their belly, and as consequence, got beat by Team Arrow. I do not think it mattered who on Team Kinetic was the leader, the leader was going to take the hit for the loss of the entire team.
Angela was classy in her departure. She sounded positive and professional. I am sure she gained a tremendous learning experience from the show.
As far as Team Arrow was concerned, they wanted the win more badly than did their opponents. They out hustled their competition. They also benefited from having a large display booth where they had a formidable presence, as opposed to Team Kinetic that skated around trying to convince customers to buy. From what I saw, though, the largest factor was desire to win.
I am not sure what to make of the Tim and Nicole relationship. Of the two, I think Nicole is handling it better and able to show better judgment in keeping a more even temperament. That said, despite what Trump said in the boardroom, I support Tim's decision to refrain from interfering with James' decision to send Nicole to Team Kinetic. Had he interfered, he would have made life difficult for both himself and Nicole. And it certainly would have harmed Team Arrow's dynamics for the task.
As far as picking The Apprentice favorite, I still do not have a clear favorite. All members on Team Arrow are doing well. I am not sure if any stand out above the others. On Team Kinetic, I do not have any clear favorites. While I like Kristine, her attitude needs a slight adjustment. She reminds me slightly of Tana Goertz, a finalist contestant in a previous series, who was strong but as appreciative of her teammates as she should have been.
Although I do not like having the winning leader repeat as leader this season, I am enjoying Season 6. There are still seven candidates, each of whom still has an equal or close to equal opportunity to win. At this point in the process in prior seasons, there were a few clear candidates with the rest as fillers. As mentioned, all remaining players are still very much in the running. The game is still wide open.
