Last week on The Apprentice 2, Donald Trump tried to help the women of Team Apex by assigning Pamela to be their project manager. But the women sold $10 less than Team Mosaic in a challenge on the QVC shopping network, and Trump fired Pamela. This week, the women may get a chance to mend their wounds with a task that involves designing women's clothing (9 p.m. Channels 5, 2).
Aaron Baba, 42, Reading: Designing women's clothing, the next task on the show, could be a big challenge for the all men on the Mosaic team. It will take their collective skills, ingenuity and team effort to outdo the ladies of Apex team, who are now desperate for a win. Should Mosaic lose, Andy, John or even Kevin may be recalled to the boardroom. Stacy and Ivana have already had close calls in the return to the boardroom. The next loss by the Apex team could lead to the exit of either one of them.
Doug Browning, 35, Anderson Township: Due to the women, the show is in dire need of a twist. What about having George and Carolyn, Trump's associates, leading a task? Wouldn't it be nice to see Carolyn, who apparently is an expert on everything, work under pressure on camera? She might end up like Cruella De Vil (Pamela). Jennifer M. and Elizabeth should be the last two women standing. If I were Trump, I would have hired Anna Kournikova.
Brooke Goode, 34, Milford: Pamela was much too harsh with Stacy, who is detail-oriented and did a precise job. There's value in that. Still, the ladies do know how to constructively criticize one another. This will be their undoing. Raj temporarily forgot which reality show he was on when he began pursuing Anna Kournikova. I predict the women will win the designing project and Raj will be fired. My money is still on Wes.
Nicole McWhorter, 30, Clifton: I am starting to view the women as a group of animals that eat their young. It just seems to me that they are going to continue to come up with ways to kill each other off until there is no one left. The women need to look up the word apex in the dictionary. It means "the uppermost point, the highest or culminating point," which they have yet to experience. Is anyone seeing the big picture here? No matter what the task and no matter who is placed in charge, the men seem to have the key to success.
