00:00Previously on The Apprentice, the teams were challenged to renovate and run a motel on the Jersey Shore.
00:07The team which gets the highest score from its guests is going to win.
00:12Net Worth's project manager, Brian, immediately dumped the toilets.
00:16The toilets are already disassembled and pulled out.
00:19You're not going to know if you're sitting on a $500 toilet or a $5 toilet. Your ass doesn't know the difference.
00:25Putting him at odds with his team.
00:27Donald Trump is exactly the same way I am. And if people don't like it, they can go frig themselves.
00:32Do you think that? You are a silly little man.
00:35When Verna couldn't handle the pressure.
00:38I'm tired. I have quit.
00:40I'm just not playing this game anymore.
00:42She left her team.
00:43She left the Fremses?
00:44Yeah, I think so, yeah.
00:46But when Verna decided to return.
00:48This was the last time I needed to cry.
00:50Not everyone welcomed her back.
00:52Verna was not thinking about anyone but herself.
00:54She screwed the team. She screwed herself. It was terrible.
00:58Magna won on customer service.
01:00Magna, you win.
01:03Sending Net Worth to the boardroom where Chris lost his cool.
01:07I do refurbish homes. I never said I've got in hands-on construction time.
01:13Angie, should Chris be fired?
01:15Absolutely. I think Brian has more leader potential than Chris.
01:19But for Brian, being a leader meant taking the blame.
01:22It is my fault that I lost.
01:24Okay, should I fire you now?
01:26Yes, you should.
01:27Brian, you're fired.
01:3116 candidates are left.
01:33Who will be fired this week?
01:50I did it!
01:52Some people got to have it.
01:57Some people really need it.
02:00Listen to me, y'all.
02:02Do things, do things, do things, bad things.
02:09Dollar bills, y'all. Come on.
02:11Bad deed, oh deed.
02:15Made great on my desire.
02:19I don't know that money.
02:23Give me a nickel, brother, can you buy that?
02:28Money can drive some people out of their mind.
02:35No good, no good.
02:37Money, money, money, money.
02:42Money.
03:08No, no, no.
03:20I'm really happy we're moving ahead as the same team with Verna on the next test.
03:27I can't wait to get going tomorrow.
03:29We're going to succeed the next one. This is going to be great.
03:32We're starting to get along.
03:34It's nice.
03:38Hi.
03:39Whoa.
03:40This is the first.
03:41Hey, you're going to be surprised.
03:43Yeah, I like to hear this story.
03:44Count how many people are walking in right now.
03:46What happened?
03:47There was no three people brought back to the boardroom.
03:49There was no people brought back to the boardroom.
03:50He fired Ryan right then and there.
03:51What?
03:52What?
03:53What happened?
03:54He's an idiot, walking.
03:55Everybody was just stunned by the fact that he basically said to himself, I'm fired.
04:00But then everybody was like, no, he didn't do that.
04:05No, I can't.
04:07The fact that Brian gets fired without even going to the final three signified that, you know, Trump doesn't screw around.
04:13Rules can be broken.
04:14There are no rules in Trump's boardroom.
04:27Anybody to talk to?
04:28Do I need somebody to talk to?
04:30Yeah.
04:31Oh, it'll be fine.
04:33Thank you for coming in here.
04:34Can I sit down for a second?
04:35Yeah.
04:36Verna's having a tough day, I think, getting her energy back and such.
04:39She's looking run down, but hopefully this day of recuperation will get Verna back into the flow for the next task.
04:47I definitely have inner strength to stay here and stick with this, but I'm not feeling very well and I'm feeling really sick.
04:57But here's the way I look at it.
04:59If you have to lay in bed all day because you're sick, let us worry about that.
05:02Let us be sensitive to that.
05:04Verna was in a tough emotional state, so I wanted to just get everyone together as a support group.
05:10Just sort of let them know where Verna was, that she was feeling down and out.
05:14So Verna's still not feeling well, and so we're here to support Verna in whatever you do.
05:21And if she's not feeling well tomorrow, we have to go to do this task and she's got to stay in the suite.
05:25You know, that's cool.
05:27Danny was just like, OK, well, whatever you need to do.
05:30I mean, this clearly isn't The Apprentice.
05:32This is clearly kindergarten, so if you need the day off, you sit home and rest while the rest of us work very, very hard.
05:39We just all do sincerely support you, and I know everybody does.
05:43Well, I don't think if you can't go to the mission, I don't know if I think, like, OK, so what happens if we lose and you don't go?
05:52But, you know, that's...
05:53I'm just asking a technical, practical, real-life question.
05:56But...
05:57And that's my question. Are you going to quit in the 11th hour?
05:59It's not about...
06:01I don't want to hear the rhetoric. I want to hear if you're going to leave us stranded again.
06:05Let me tell you, I'm not feeling very well, so...
06:07Neither am I.
06:08It's not about whether I want to quit in the 11th hour. Of course you don't want to quit in the 11th hour.
06:12Of course you don't want to give up and say, oh, you know, I can't do this or I can't do that.
06:16To be honest with you, I think Verna's fine.
06:18I think Verna had a little bit of a breakdown.
06:20She couldn't take the pressure of this fast-paced business environment that we're in.
06:23She didn't look sick at all to me.
06:25I feel more sick, and I think I look more sick than she did.
06:29Honestly, I've been resting all day long.
06:31I don't...
06:32I don't think that it's going to get better.
06:39I'm sorry for the team, but I'm not feeling well, so I probably should go ahead and go.
06:49I had a loss for words.
06:52I'll give you my hugs.
06:57You're the bravest.
07:01Danny is probably more bummed out about it than anyone.
07:04I look at it like this.
07:05You've got to have a burning desire to be here, and if you don't, then you're not going to make it.
07:09And Verna didn't have that.
07:12Take care of yourself.
07:13All right.
07:14Go all the way.
07:15Yes.
07:19Keep that for yourself.
07:22You're welcome.
07:26I think it's bullshit that Verna quit.
07:28Having to deal with somebody wanting to quit and whine over things is just not beneficial to the team.
07:35Sometimes there's situations that people are not used to being in.
07:40I think Verna, you know, has a lot to learn in terms of a fast-paced business environment.
07:45Oh my God, that's my favorite.
07:46Isn't that awesome?
07:47Love that.
07:48Ooh, ooh, where'd you get the rice?
07:49It's so cute.
07:50So do I.
07:51Is that what that is?
07:52Aaron, you want a piece of bread?
07:53No.
07:55It's better to have people that want to be there and want to get the job done.
08:00You don't want to be there.
08:01You want to be a nuisance.
08:02You're useless.
08:03You're a pain in the ass.
08:04You're a pain in the ass.
08:05You're a pain in the ass.
08:06You're a pain in the ass.
08:07You don't want to be a nuisance.
08:08You're useless.
08:09Just depart.
08:10Just go.
08:12It's a huge opportunity to give up.
08:13How can you just stop and just quit?
08:16At least get fired with some dignity.
08:27I've rarely seen a leader that's been able to lead by consensus.
08:31A leader is somebody that oftentimes will go against everybody.
08:35That's what a leader is.
08:36That's what a leader is.
08:37Pete, why would you send this to them anyway?
08:39Break down the line items of the budget.
08:40No, but why wouldn't you let him send it to you?
08:43You're not supposed to send him anything.
08:44He's bidding on a job.
08:45Generally speaking, a leader has to think independently.
08:49I think if it's better if you say you got a better price and cut them down to 15-5,
08:53and then I'm going to forget about what happened.
08:55Okay?
08:56Okay?
09:06Hi, is this Rona?
09:07Yes, this is Rona.
09:08This is Danny from Team Magna.
09:10One of our team members, Verna, she's decided to leave.
09:15As a team, we're really sorry to see her go,
09:17and if you can relay that message to Mr. Trump and let him know, I'd appreciate it.
09:22I will let him know that Verna has quit.
09:24Now, please head down to Times Square and meet Mr. Trump as soon as possible.
09:28Bye.
09:52Good morning.
09:53Good morning.
09:54When we began, I told you how tough this was going to be.
09:58I said it's going to be the toughest time that you've ever had maybe in your life.
10:03Verna couldn't hack it.
10:06She quit.
10:07She left.
10:08In life, people quit.
10:10In companies, people quit.
10:12Does anybody else want to quit?
10:14No.
10:15Okay.
10:16Now, the largest food company in the world is called Nestle.
10:22Nestle is worth more than $100 billion.
10:27So that's $96 billion more than I'm worth, and I'm not happy with that.
10:33Today, you'll be working with their premium coffee brand, Nescafé Tasters Choice,
10:39and it's really good, believe me.
10:41Each team has $75,000 given to you by these two fine executives from Nescafé,
10:50and you're going to create a marketing campaign.
10:53There's no reason why your ideas shouldn't be big.
10:58The team which creates the most buzz, the most excitement, as judged by these two fine executives, wins.
11:06Now, Michael, you're exempt.
11:08You know that.
11:09Okay?
11:10You were on the winning team, so should you lose, you're exempt.
11:12Okay?
11:13George and Carolyn are my eyes and ears.
11:16As always, the losing team to the boardroom where somebody will be fired.
11:22Good luck.
11:26Nice seeing you.
11:29Hello, everybody.
11:47Do you all want to pick a project manager and an accountant?
11:50Sure.
11:51I'm going to say, Danny, the first person I thought of was you,
11:54just because this has to do with creativity and marketing and advertising,
11:57and that's totally your avenue, and I have total faith in you.
12:01All right.
12:02Accept the task.
12:03The goal today is to create a huge buzz for Nescafé.
12:06We're going to be judged in numerous areas on the creativity of our ideas,
12:10on representing the product well,
12:13and we've got to get people in here that are excited about our event.
12:16There should be costumes, you know, and they're all in tires.
12:19Like a big coffee mug guy in a costume.
12:22Every cafe that you go to in Europe, they have frappes made at Nescafé.
12:26Everything is Nescafé.
12:28A European lifestyle.
12:29A biscotti that goes with it.
12:30European models give away mopeds.
12:32The whole atmosphere, the whole lifestyle.
12:35Trust me, everybody loves a beautiful European model.
12:39That's true.
12:40Michael did not take anything seriously on this task.
12:43He's offering up hookers and models and those types of, you know, situations.
12:47He knew he was exempt.
12:48Therefore, he pretty much just sat back and enjoyed the ride.
12:51I'd buy ice from her in the middle of the winter, if she was a beautiful model.
12:54It'd make a difference.
12:55You're going to alienate women.
12:57You're going to attract more men.
12:59You're going to double up on the men.
13:01Mike comes up with one idea, and he's just, that's the best idea ever.
13:04I'm the smartest guy ever.
13:07That's the best thing I can tell you.
13:09Okay, Mike.
13:11He's sealing his own fate with that sort of approach and attitude.
13:14Eventually, he's gone.
13:16Mike, we're here for you, baby.
13:17We're going to take all your ideas, big ideas, and it'll happen.
13:21Just for you, Mike.
13:27All right, I had a couple different things.
13:29Doing a raffle with money.
13:31If you walk around and you're screaming at the top of your lungs,
13:34we're offering $5,000.
13:36Everybody come out to this location.
13:38You're going to get people there.
13:39That's a fact.
13:40Absolutely.
13:41I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for being the project manager.
13:44What my idea was, my concept for the Taster's Choice is all American.
13:50You do have a choice.
13:52Make it Taster's Choice.
13:54The hot air balloon, an election.
13:56Uncle Sam, all American, patriotic.
13:59I'd love to have a marching band.
14:01We could have a baton flame girl or something.
14:04I don't know.
14:05We do have a choice.
14:07It doesn't have to be Starbucks.
14:08I like it a lot.
14:10Angie decided that she wanted to be project manager,
14:13and she was passionate about it, so I think she's going to do a good job.
14:17If she can keep it cool, keep it fun,
14:20she's going to do a good job.
14:22I think she's going to do a good job.
14:24If she can keep it cool, keep it real,
14:27and not have a nervous breakdown in the meantime.
14:29Hold on.
14:30Hey, let's focus.
14:31We've got five minutes to decide on this.
14:33I want everybody on this right now.
14:35The day of the task?
14:36Oh, God, look out.
14:37The day of the task, she'll be my mother Thanksgiving Day morning.
14:40Trust me.
14:41She'll be insane.
14:42She just gets panicked, and we'll see how it goes.
14:45Choose Nescafé today.
14:47$5,000 giveaway.
14:49Everybody say hey.
14:50I don't know if you want one.
14:59Okay, I need to send this out.
15:01Now, guys, keep in mind, the longer we wait,
15:04the less leverage we have to negotiate.
15:06I don't think we have a lot of room to negotiate right now.
15:08My job was finding an event planner
15:12that we could outsource all the little things that need to be done
15:16to have them be responsible for everything.
15:18I'm doing a request for a quote, so this is what I'm saying.
15:21Okay.
15:22But no one seems to know really what exactly is this ad campaign going to entail.
15:27There's so much chaos going on in our warm room.
15:29Dani is not controlling the team.
15:32I'm just going to hide under the table.
15:37Hi, this is Darren.
15:38Hi, Darren, it's Stephanie Myers from MagnaCorp.
15:40How are you?
15:41Good, I was just about to call you.
15:42We're looking at the quote right now.
15:43Great.
15:45$37,000 for everything done.
15:47$47,000.
15:48That's $4,003.
15:49Wait a second.
15:50How long can you keep this open, this quote?
15:54Oh, I don't know.
15:56I'm at my wit's end because this is just such an awkward position.
16:00We had no idea what we were doing.
16:02We talked to an event planner and they could do everything for us,
16:05but Dani was not able to make a decision when we needed to make key decisions.
16:09I fax you over an agreement right now and you sign it within 60 seconds.
16:14Okay, that's impossible.
16:16That's impossible.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:21Come back here.
16:22Come back here.
16:23Work with us.
16:24We have nothing.
16:25We have not even an idea, no campaign.
16:28It was a lot of money for this event planner,
16:30and I could not even give him our idea of the type of campaign we were going to move forward with
16:36or the types of necessities we would require because we didn't have a buzz.
16:41We had no marketing campaign.
16:43We don't want to lose this.
16:45Let's make a decision to move ahead.
16:47As a group, let's vote.
16:49Should we move ahead and make the order with Darren because now is the time.
16:54Anybody else agree?
16:55Mike?
16:56I agree.
16:57Okay.
16:58No way.
16:59I'm not doing it.
17:00I'm not going down for this one.
17:01No, I'm just saying.
17:02That's a lot of money.
17:05I don't know.
17:06Dani called the vote, but I forced the decision.
17:09No, it's not what we think.
17:10It's what you want to do.
17:11Make a decision.
17:12In order to have any plan that's going to work, there's no choice.
17:16Dani just waited too long to make decisions.
17:20We wouldn't have been in the time crunch if he would have just made decisions earlier.
17:25We have to sign with him, I feel like.
17:27Let's call Darren for final.
17:29We're at our 20 to 10 minutes.
17:31You're the project manager.
17:32I will get him on the phone for you, and then you can talk to him.
17:36Here you go.
17:37I'm calling him right now.
17:38There you go.
17:40Hi, this is Darren.
17:41Hey, Darren.
17:42So here's the deal.
17:43We called you within your time frame.
17:44We're going to sign it and fax it over.
17:46You're welcome.
17:47All right.
17:48Hey, thank you.
17:49Thank you so much.
17:50Bye.
17:53Dani went to the last minute to make a decision.
17:56He just is so unorganized.
17:59You don't have time to be unorganized.
18:01You have to be organized, and you have to make decisions.
18:03And I knew this was not good.
18:09I'm sorry.
18:19Are we back to the on-the-go thing, or what now?
18:22Because our time is running out.
18:25After we signed the contract, we still needed a big idea to promote the product.
18:29And then Bren came up with the iPod.
18:31Since I've been in New York City, the one thing I noticed, everybody walking has the earphones in, cup of coffee.
18:36It all goes together.
18:37It really does.
18:38A different idea.
18:39I want everybody's feedback on this.
18:41On-the-go iPods.
18:43iPods.
18:44Everybody wants an iPod.
18:46Everybody wants an iPod.
18:47The minis are only $300.
18:49What if we gave an iPod away, like, every 20 minutes?
18:51Or every 15 minutes?
18:52We could do it even every 10 minutes.
18:54Totally.
18:55iPods are great.
18:56Do we have to give an HP iPod away?
18:58That's the bottom line?
19:00Everybody was on board with the iPod concept, except for Mike.
19:03He's not open to any other ideas once he has his one big idea.
19:06What would make you stop?
19:07What would you stop for?
19:08Number one, beautiful women serving coffee.
19:10Number two, the giveaway.
19:12Not a friggin' iPod.
19:13I don't even know how to use an iPod.
19:15People with money don't walk, they drive.
19:17Michael is acting just like a child who doesn't get his way.
19:20If someone wins exemption, I do not feel that they should just fly by and not perform to the best of their abilities.
19:26We have $4,780 left.
19:29Okay, we need serving trays just for...
19:32Yes, we need to find...
19:34Mike, if you need a timeout in the corner, let me know.
19:36Okay.
19:37Mike is just a plain jackass.
19:39How did he get here?
19:41Hello!
19:42Where did Mike come from?
19:44We're going to have a nice high school production tomorrow.
19:46I'm switching phones with you, Brian.
19:47Mike, I want you to stop talking about the promotion.
19:50Don't bother me.
19:51I'm not bothering you, man.
19:52I give you an idea and you f*** it up.
19:54Mike, I'm making the priorities around here.
19:56Calm down.
19:57All right, man.
19:58The last person you want to cluster is me, and I promise you that.
20:06This morning, we're trying to move things from the Nescafe corporate office over to Bryant Park.
20:18It was a lot of product.
20:20Danny and myself, we're working our ass off.
20:22And what's Michael doing?
20:23He's sitting on a chair.
20:24And Danny says, get up, you a**hole.
20:27And Michael, he blew a gasket.
20:29Get your ass moving.
20:30Now.
20:31You tell me one more time, buddy.
20:32I'm just telling you, get going.
20:34If you yell at me one more time, I'm going to f*** out the window.
20:36If you throw me out the window, I don't think that will bode well for you.
20:39Don't f*** with me.
20:40Alex.
20:41I don't feel good.
20:42Shut up.
20:43Then why don't you come and tell me then?
20:44Shut the f*** up.
20:46It wasn't worth the reaction that Michael gave to Danny.
20:48I mean, we're talking, call me a name, I'm going to do you bodily harm.
20:52Give me a break.
20:53That's silly.
20:54Maybe I shouldn't have thrown you out the window.
20:56Maybe I should have slapped you.
20:57All right, bitch slap out the window one way or another.
21:00It's all good.
21:05Nescafe takes your choice.
21:07Nescafe takes your choice, thank you.
21:09Who wants $10,000?
21:11Guys, we're giving away up to $10,000 today with Nescafe.
21:14We've got free frappuccinos, free hot cups of coffee.
21:16Here you go, ma'am.
21:18Oh, I'm sweating balls.
21:19Hey, we're giving away 10 G's over here.
21:21Come get a free cup of coffee.
21:23It's from Nescafe.
21:25Hey, we're giving away 10 G's.
21:26There's no gimmicks.
21:27I'm giving away $10,000.
21:28Nobody wants $10,000.
21:30Hey, everybody, $10,000.
21:33Hey, everybody, $10,000 giveaway!
21:36We're launching a marketing campaign
21:38for a Taster's Choice Nescafe.
21:40We're bringing so many people off the streets,
21:41they're loving it.
21:42We set up a giant political rally in Union Square.
21:45Everything was red, white, and blue, very patriotic.
21:47But we're gonna actually not just serve the coffee hot,
21:50we're gonna have some cold coffee drinks too
21:51and debate which way the coffee is better, hot or cold.
21:54I think hot coffee is the American way to drink coffee.
21:59Hot coffee is not what we need to be doing right now.
22:03I love it hot and I love it cold.
22:06I love them both because it tastes so good.
22:08Did you guys sign up for the drawing?
22:10This is gonna be exciting!
22:12Ladies and gentlemen, the official judge
22:14is going to choose the winner.
22:16Hold on, get the drum roll.
22:17Drum roll, please.
22:18♪ Trumpet playing ♪
22:24And the winner, who liked her coffee cold,
22:28is Miss Linda Cook!
22:31Where's Linda Cook?
22:32Come on, let the baby shine!
22:38It was brilliant.
22:39I was extremely passionate about the concept.
22:42You've got to get your team passionate
22:45about what you're doing.
22:46That was beautiful!
22:48Good job, guys!
22:49Everybody got passionate about the idea.
22:52To drink your coffee hot is what?
22:55Cool.
23:00Awesome, this is looking great, man.
23:02We already have a line.
23:03Just serve everybody this straight coffee.
23:06You want to keep this coupon
23:07and put the ticket in the spinner to win a free iPod.
23:11In order to really show buzz and get your brand out there,
23:15you have to get people to stick around and stay.
23:18The plan was to give away one or two iPods every half hour.
23:22So you always had a fresh crowd,
23:24new customers aware,
23:26and you had to make sure that you had the right people
23:28and new customers aware of the brand.
23:31Who thinks they're going to win here?
23:33Yeah!
23:35Now is your chance to win.
23:38Pick up a Nescafé?
23:40No, no Nescafé?
23:41I'm basically giving Mike menial tasks right now,
23:43useless tasks to just kind of help get things done.
23:46We're relying on the event team.
23:48Mike maybe wouldn't even get a job with them.
23:52Coffee, sir? Nescafé?
23:53You're right.
23:54No?
23:55Just a f***ing Nescafé.
23:56I am filling my spot well, I think.
23:59I'm in charge, I make sure that there's coffee,
24:02I make sure that there's cream,
24:04and there's an ample supply of it.
24:06Rich Nescafé coffee!
24:08Taster's choice, Nescafé coffee!
24:11Who feels lucky out here today?
24:12Come on!
24:13All right, everyone feels lucky.
24:15Anybody could have done what we're doing right now.
24:17This isn't like a phenomenal campaign,
24:19it's something special.
24:20Got to go in?
24:21Yeah, of course.
24:22If I was happy with Meteorocracy,
24:24I'd be, yeah, it's great.
24:27Let's get coffee, then, huh?
24:51Hello, folks.
24:53You were asked to create a great PR campaign
24:57for Nescafé's Taster's Choice.
25:00Magna, how do you think you did?
25:01I think we did fabulous.
25:03You think you won?
25:04I do.
25:05Well, we're going to soon find out.
25:06Net worth, how do you think you did?
25:07I could never be more proud of my group.
25:09Very good.
25:10Let's see what happened.
25:11Executives, tell me, who do you like?
25:14Well, first of all, Magna,
25:16you did a great job on delivering
25:18our premium brand message to consumers.
25:21However, there was no big idea
25:24that tied it all together
25:25and made sense thematically for consumers.
25:28So that was a missing component.
25:30Net worth, you also did a great job
25:32of sampling the coffee.
25:33You took it to another level
25:35by offering both hot coffee options
25:37and cold coffee options.
25:39Another thing you did,
25:40you had a very creative idea
25:42that attracted consumers to the event.
25:44Who won?
25:45Based on how they demonstrated
25:47the great taste of the product,
25:49and really, at the end of the day,
25:51they came up with a creative idea
25:53that just really nailed it.
25:55The winner is Net worth.
25:57Woo!
25:58Woo!
25:59Woo!
26:00Woo!
26:01Woo!
26:02Woo!
26:02Woo!
26:03Woo!
26:04Woo!
26:05Great job, Net worth.
26:06Now, as you know, Angie.
26:07Yes, sir.
26:08You're exempt should your team lose next week.
26:10You understand that?
26:11Yes, sir.
26:12Now, the reward is big because you thought big,
26:16and therefore, you're going to go
26:17on a really big helicopter.
26:2012 seater, brand new, the best in the world.
26:23You're going to circle Manhattan.
26:25You're going to have champagne,
26:26and you're going to have an amazing evening.
26:28So, enjoy it.
26:31Magna, you're coming back to the boardroom
26:33where somebody will be fired.
26:35Thank you very much.
26:36We appreciate it.
26:51Here's your champagne.
26:53Oh yes.
26:55We have drinks and everything.
26:58That's our seat belt.
26:59Whoo.
27:02Yeah.
27:07This is so cool.
27:10Wow.
27:11Without a doubt, the key to success
27:13for Net Worth Corporation is everyone
27:15keeping a smile on their face and having fun.
27:18That's why I'm always afraid!
27:20That's what it's about. That's what life's about.
27:22Let's have a toast to network!
27:24Network on air!
27:26Yeah, baby!
27:28Cheers!
27:30Cheers, everybody!
27:32Woo!
27:34Oh, my God!
27:36You guys gotta look for Trump Tower. It's supposed to be right around here.
27:38There's the Empire State Building.
27:40Oh, wow!
27:44Oh, my God!
27:46Oh, my God! It's gorgeous!
27:48Oh, my God!
27:50Wow, here's a bridge we're going right over.
27:52Wow!
27:54It's so beautiful.
27:58That is so beautiful!
28:00We've conquered over
28:02a team that has a collegiate education,
28:04and in the eyes of the majority of the population,
28:06it would appear that they should be more promising.
28:08And the fact is,
28:10is they're not.
28:12Team, thank you!
28:14You did a great job!
28:16Yes, we did. We really pulled together.
28:18We won, you guys!
28:20For the love of Trump!
28:28I'm thinking about how much money
28:30we just blew up in six hours with the work.
28:32It makes me sick.
28:34$73,000 in six hours.
28:36I'm just frustrated now with the whole schematic.
28:38I don't think any of us did a bad job,
28:40except Danny, and I really honestly mean that.
28:42Danny was supposed to be the mastermind
28:44behind advertising,
28:46and he was the mastermind behind nothing.
28:48Okay, so maybe you slack a little bit.
28:50Michael did not.
28:52When you got an exemption, you should work
28:54just as hard as if you didn't.
28:56Michael sat back on a comfortable
28:58golden bed of exemption and did nothing.
29:00Michael was dead weight
29:02and a negative president.
29:04What bothers me the most is his lack of integrity,
29:06his lack of professionalism,
29:08and his abuse of power.
29:10And those three things do not
29:12make you worthy of an exemption.
29:14I agree.
29:16And I think we, look at me,
29:18should tell Trump about it.
29:20The weakest member of our team has an exemption
29:22this week, and he should be fired.
29:24We all made levels of mistakes.
29:26Sure.
29:28We by far made the mistake.
29:30Made it worse for us.
29:32We need to know what the word exemption means
29:34and what the exceptions are to that word.
29:36Or ask Mr. Trump, would you want someone like this
29:38working for you? Hey, Trump can give up
29:40anybody's exemption. There you go.
29:42We unanimously agree
29:44he doesn't deserve the exemption.
29:46And we're going to go to battle that case
29:48with Mr. Trump.
30:02Hi. Good morning.
30:04Please leave your bags and go right in.
30:38So what was the
30:40reason for the loss? Tell me.
30:42Danny, tell me. It's a tough loss,
30:44Mr. Trump.
30:46We worked hard together
30:48and we didn't want to lose this. We thought we
30:50had a good event. But before we go there,
30:52I'd like to discuss something very serious.
30:54We understand the situation is
30:56there's an exemption, but when you give a gift to somebody,
30:58especially a gift from you, you don't
31:00expect somebody to abuse it.
31:02You gave Michael a gift with the exemption
31:04and he severely abused that exemption.
31:06Well, didn't he earn that gift? No.
31:08He didn't earn it. Don't forget, he does
31:10have an exemption and we do have to live in this
31:12world by the rules.
31:14Ask the SEC, ask the people that run
31:16the world. You have to live by
31:18rules. He has an exemption.
31:20Mr. Trump, however, from
31:22a legal perspective, every contract,
31:24every corporate bylaw,
31:26there are words and they don't exist in a
31:28vacuum. They have meanings
31:30and they have exceptions.
31:32Exemption is a word that has meaning
31:34and possibly, if you guys agree,
31:36maybe exceptions. So you think he should
31:38come back to the boardroom and you actually think he should
31:40be fired? That's for you to decide,
31:42sir. But I know you... But if you were me,
31:44you would say he should be fired. Sir, I would because
31:46I think you should have someone that works for you
31:48who has personal integrity. And if I were
31:50faced with Danny or Michael... Why do you think he doesn't have
31:52personal integrity? These are very strong
31:54statements. Anyone that abuses
31:56exemption and dangles
31:58it in the face of their teammates and doesn't perform,
32:00he quite possibly did nothing
32:02on this task. Michael, you have an
32:04attempt. Mr. Trump? You're very borderline,
32:06Michael. Well, Danny, let me
32:08ask you this. Didn't you give $50,000
32:10to one firm right off the bat?
32:12That was idiotic. Now whose idea
32:14was that? Huh? I
32:16found the event planner.
32:18I called a few event planners. By the way, what did you
32:20think of the event planner? Were they good or were they terrible?
32:22Actually, they were wonderful. They pulled off
32:24a wonderful event. They were good. If it weren't
32:26for that event planner, we would have had
32:28slim to none. We would have had nothing.
32:30Stephanie,
32:32what did you think of the job Danny did as team leader?
32:34What I was not happy with was the decision making.
32:36There were no decisions made.
32:38I had to make your decisions for you, Stephanie.
32:40I'm talking... Please.
32:42The question was, very simply,
32:44what do you think of Danny as a team leader?
32:46Was he good? Was he bad? I wish the
32:48decisions were made more promptly.
32:50Now, Brent,
32:52who would you pick, you or me?
32:54Who is responsible for the loss?
32:56I hate to say this, but the biggest responsibility
32:58for the loss itself, the loss itself
33:00and nothing else, was Danny.
33:02If I could fire anyone, without any
33:04doubt, I'd fire Michael, because Michael
33:06showed a total lack of integrity
33:08by his actions yesterday. Frankly,
33:10as far as Michael's concerned, he was lousy.
33:12He did a lousy job. He basically did nothing
33:14and everybody's blaming him, but
33:16who's responsible for the loss? He wasn't responsible
33:18for the loss. Ultimate responsibility
33:20should fall on Danny's shoulders.
33:22Even though Michael, from a legal standpoint,
33:24is exempt.
33:26Right? Well, you don't believe that?
33:28You think he's so bad that he should
33:30we should violate a certain
33:32trust? He violated
33:34your trust, sir, and he violated all of our trusts.
33:36I feel very strongly about this.
33:38I'd like to know one thing. Why didn't you tell Michael,
33:40get out of my face and I don't want you,
33:42I don't need you, you're a disrupting influence.
33:44That's a great question. Constantly, I
33:46handled it like a gentleman. I don't handle it
33:48like a gentleman. If somebody sabotages
33:50what you're doing, you don't handle it like a gentleman.
33:52You say, get out of my face, I can't use you.
33:54I had to stay focused on winning
33:56the task. Danny, you were lost yesterday.
33:58How can you say that you were focused?
34:00All right, Danny, it's time.
34:02You're the team leader, sort of,
34:04like, a little bit. I don't know. You're not
34:06much of a leader, unfortunately. That's not true.
34:08Well, something happened. This was a disaster.
34:10Mr. Trump, I have a question. All right, Dan,
34:12let me ask you this. Can I ask you a question?
34:14You can. I know what the question's going to bring.
34:16Can you bring somebody who's exempt
34:18with you? Is that your question? I can obviously
34:20bring them in, but can they be fired?
34:22I'm not sure that you can bring them in,
34:24but you can certainly suggest it.
34:26Would you like to bring Michael in? I'd like to bring
34:28Michael in, Mr. Trump. Because it's time for you to choose.
34:30Who else would you like to bring in?
34:32I want to bring Stephanie and Michael in.
34:34Okay, Aaron, Bren,
34:36Kendra, Alex, out.
34:38Go up to the suite. Danny,
34:40Stephanie, Michael. I'll see the
34:42three of you back here.
34:52Caroline,
35:04what do you think? Well, I think it's clear that Danny
35:06can't make his decision, and the fact that he brought
35:08in Michael, who is obviously
35:10exempt, was just a bad choice.
35:12Yeah, but Michael's been a disaster. He is a
35:14disaster, but rules are rules. He's
35:16exempt.
35:18George, what do you think? I agree with
35:20Caroline. They're bringing in Michael. He wasn't
35:22the reason they lost, and he's exempt, so
35:24you're effectively bringing in one. It's
35:26just a question of him and Stephanie.
35:28I agree with that, but I still have some
35:30strong feelings on this one. Let's see what happens.
35:32Robin?
35:34Let him in. Please go
35:36back into the boardroom now.
35:50Michael,
35:56they do not like you.
35:58Did you do badly because
36:00of the fact that you were exempt and you figured
36:02why should I worry? No, not at all. Which is pretty terrible.
36:04Or did you do badly because you're
36:06incompetent? Neither or.
36:08I'll be honest,
36:10Mr. Trump, when we arrived
36:12there, I put my best foot forward.
36:14I gave everybody the best
36:16ideas. Let's be honest, maybe
36:18I should have kept to myself because they were not
36:20reciprocated.
36:22Danny did not put them into action.
36:24And I was so
36:26adamantly against the signing of that
36:28contract, and we argued
36:30from five... I'm not finished.
36:32Once again, the lies go.
36:34Danny, you elect somebody that's supposed to make a
36:36decision. You're not supposed to be taking votes.
36:38But I just wanted consensus. Do you think a good
36:40leader really goes and takes votes all the time? I am a good
36:42leader, Mr. Trump. Do you think he's a good
36:44leader, Michael? Mr. Trump, I think
36:46just because he wears, you know, polyester
36:48suits and plays guitar, that he's not a great advertising
36:50person, nor is he a good leader.
36:52And I don't see where
36:54this whole vision that he has... Danny, that's
36:56pretty insulting. It's hardly unflattering.
36:58Yeah, pretty insulting.
37:00Stephanie, you thought Danny
37:02wasn't much of a leader? Not
37:04when it comes to decision making. You thought
37:06Michael wasn't much either, right? Neither
37:08one. I mean, you think they're two
37:10male losers, is that correct?
37:12Correct. My thing is
37:14you are going to
37:16sign over $50,000.
37:18You, as a leader, at this level where we're at,
37:20you do not take a vote amongst
37:22the team. It was ridiculous.
37:24Take ownership. It was ridiculous. Take ownership?
37:26It was your choice, Stephanie,
37:28to procure the vendors. I provided you what I got. $75,000
37:30budget. Mike. If we serve 3,000 cups of coffee...
37:32I'm not talking to you right now. That was $25 a cup.
37:34Truth of the matter is, when you pay $50,000
37:36for people to run an event, let them
37:38run it. I simply handed out flyers.
37:40Michael, do you think you should be fired?
37:42I do not think so, Mr. Trump. Why not?
37:44I think I did a great job...
37:46A great job? This is ridiculous.
37:48A great job in what?
37:50I think I did a great job in giving great ideas
37:52and putting things forward.
37:54Alright, Michael, let me just tell you.
37:56Okay, absolutely. I think you did a
37:58terrible job. I don't think
38:00you did anything close to being good.
38:02I think your job was terrible.
38:06Stephanie,
38:08I believe that
38:10you are better than I thought.
38:12I really do. Everybody seems
38:14to be of the opinion
38:16that getting the event planner
38:18was a good thing and that the event planner
38:20did a good job. The difference is
38:22you wanted it sooner rather than later.
38:24So I don't think you have
38:26to worry about being fired right now.
38:28Thank you, Mr. Trump.
38:32You guys should be ashamed
38:34of yourself, both of you.
38:36I think Michael did a terrible, terrible
38:38job. Honestly.
38:40But you know, when you get right down to it,
38:42you've done a terrible job also.
38:44You were late with the event planner.
38:46In my opinion,
38:48you paid too much money
38:50to the event planner, and maybe that's partially
38:52Stephanie's fault.
38:54You know what I hated more than anything else?
38:56When I asked you to choose two people,
38:58you chose
39:00one person
39:02who's exempt, and that either
39:04shows a lot of imagination or
39:06somebody that doesn't want to play by the rules.
39:08Michael was
39:10terrible, but Michael is exempt.
39:12I have to live by the rules.
39:14Danny, you're
39:16fired.
39:22Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Trump.
39:54Well, that was interesting.
39:56Not easy.
39:58Whether Danny's a good guy, I like him a lot,
40:00but he couldn't make a decision.
40:42Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
41:07You must have been crazy to think that
41:09wouldn't offend anyone.
