00:00Previously on The Apprentice, the candidates created a new office product to clean up clutter.
00:06The whole point of this table is, instead of having stacks of paper on your desk, you've got stacks of paper here.
00:11At Magna, Tana and Kendra's decision to talk with customers proved to be a smart move.
00:16Well, I'll be happy to root through your cart if you don't mind.
00:20When we saw how many stackables this man had in his cart, it told us people want stackables.
00:26And tension continued to brew between Kendra and Craig.
00:29I've given you respect that you don't even deserve, young lady.
00:32Young lady? Young lady, that's right.
00:34Well, you know what? If you're trying to create a positive team dynamic, you're doing a piss poor job.
00:39At net worth, best friends Alex and Bren were confident their product was a winner.
00:46Wow, good work.
00:48We have knocked the ball so far out of the park.
00:51I fear the lashing MagnaCorp will take in the boardroom over this.
00:57But the Staples focus group poked too many holes in their design.
01:01Opening and closing that thing all the time. It doesn't seem functional.
01:09Net worth lost and went to the boardroom for the eighth consecutive time, where Bren pointed the finger at himself.
01:16I'm very conservative. Risk is something that I'm learning to take.
01:19You seem to be starting off awfully far behind.
01:22I am far behind, but I can make up space.
01:24I don't mind being a teacher, but I don't want to start off from kindergarten.
01:27And for entrepreneurship, I'm dealing with you as a kindergarten student.
01:32You might be a very good lawyer, but right now, Bren, you're fired.
01:39Only four candidates remain. Who will be fired this week?
01:54Money, money, money, money, money.
01:58Some people got to have it.
02:03Some people really need it.
02:07Listen to me, y'all.
02:09Do things, do things, do things, bad things with it.
02:16Dollar bills, y'all.
02:17Come on, baby.
02:22Make great almighty dollars.
02:26I don't know that money.
02:30Give me a nickel, brother. Can you spell that?
02:35Money can drive some people out of their mind.
02:42No good, no good.
02:44Money, money, money, money.
03:14I don't expect it to be ugly in there, though.
03:27I really don't think that those boys will tear each other apart.
03:29I don't know. We'll see soon.
03:31Right now, my boys are in the boardroom.
03:33Alex and Bren, attorney versus attorney.
03:36In the boardroom with Mr. Trump, Carolyn, and George.
03:39Brad might walk through those doors with Alex.
03:42Went to the death was his idea.
03:45From a strategic standpoint, it would be more beneficial to me if Alex were fired.
03:49Bren is weaker competition, so if Bren comes back from the boardroom,
03:52that's one less person I have to worry about beating.
03:56Tali.
03:58Oh, you know it was you.
04:00I told you to pack light.
04:02Welcome back.
04:03Thanks. Good to see you.
04:05How did it go?
04:06Good to see you.
04:07What happened?
04:08That was tough.
04:10Tough.
04:11Yeah.
04:13Four times in the boardroom.
04:16I don't have an equal.
04:19I feel that, like, it is me against the world.
04:23You know, the worst person to get in a fight with is somebody who has nothing to lose.
04:30That's me.
04:31So, anyway.
04:33Welcome home.
04:36I'm letting Magna think that I'm weak when I'm strong, right out of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
04:40You're right.
04:42Yeah, you know, it just really wore on my spirit, you know.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Right now, Alex is the sole survivor on Net Worth Corp.
04:50Tomorrow, there's going to be another corporate restructuring,
04:53meaning that the one person left on Net Worth is going to choose somebody for Magna.
04:58Did you ever ask yourself what would happen if Alex picked me?
05:05You and Craig would be teammates?
05:08You guys have had a problem for five tasks.
05:12No.
05:13Is Alex mean enough to do that?
05:15No, it's about strategy.
05:18If the cards are in Alex's hands, he could do that.
05:36Good morning.
05:40Hi, good morning. It's Rona.
05:42Mr. Trump would like you to meet him in the lobby of Trump Tower in one hour.
05:46Thank you so much.
05:47Okay, bye-bye.
06:06Welcome to week 14 of your 16-week job interview.
06:11You came from over one million job applicants.
06:16You're down to four people.
06:18That means there are no losers.
06:21But in life, three of you will lose.
06:25Net Worth has been decimated.
06:27You need a team member.
06:28I'd love to see Net Worth win.
06:31Alex, pick a team member.
06:38Well, I've thought carefully about this, and I'm going to choose Tana.
06:44Okay, Tana, go to Net Worth.
06:46Alex, Tana, good luck.
06:49Now, Magna and Net Worth each have one Book Smart and one Street Smart member for your next task.
06:55Okay, I put my name on everything.
06:58Buildings, helicopters, even T-shirts.
07:01And when you think of T-shirts, who do you think of?
07:04Hanes.
07:06Hanes did $2 billion a year in sales, and they've sold one billion T-shirts over the years.
07:14So for this task, you're going to design and sell an original Hanes commemorative T-shirt,
07:20celebrating 50 years of T-shirt culture.
07:24To help you, you'll have access to two of today's most talented pop culture artists.
07:30Magna, you'll be working with Romero Brito, whose work is displayed on consumer products
07:36and even in the Smithsonian Institute.
07:39Net Worth, you'll be partnered with Burton Morris.
07:43Burton's art is everywhere, from art galleries to the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
07:49You'll produce T-shirts, and you'll sell them at a really hip store.
07:55My daughter loves it, named Scoop.
07:58Each team will sell at a different Scoop store,
08:01and you'll have until 3 p.m. tomorrow to sell your T-shirts.
08:05The team that makes the most money selling T-shirts wins.
08:09Losers, you meet me in the boardroom. Somebody will be fired.
08:13Enjoy yourself. Say hello to Hanes. Thank you.
08:19As soon as I heard it was a T-shirt task, I knew that Tana should be the project manager.
08:22Tana has a clothing business, and Kendra was crestfallen,
08:26because she didn't want to be stuck with Craig.
08:39I guess we should just keep this banner down below.
08:42Uh-huh, like a scroll down at the bottom.
08:45What if we just did this?
08:49I think that would be tight. That's tight.
08:52We've got to have a logo, a name, a slogan.
08:55Alex said, Rockstar, and I'm like, not bad.
08:59So our logo was Rockstar Couture, which I loved. I was excited about it.
09:03Hi. Hi. Are you Burton? Yes, I'm Burton, hi.
09:06How do you do? Nice to meet you. Good to meet you, Alex.
09:08Nice to meet you, Alex. Tana, nice to meet you. Hi, Tana, nice to meet you.
09:11Have you seen some of the work I do? No.
09:14I just wanted to ask you that.
09:17My work was on the show for 10 seasons.
09:19This image here was partially used for the Oscars, the Academy Awards.
09:23Burton Morris is a world-renowned pop culture artist.
09:27I think that his art can work really well for our design.
09:30I can also work with both of you on some sketch concepts,
09:33and then we can all decide which way we want to go.
09:36Okay, I think we've got a couple concepts right now.
09:39Here's one example.
09:41The wing concept with the text stood out to me from the very beginning.
09:44Absolutely, it's kind of got a Harley feel to it.
09:47Since we might like that rock star theme,
09:49how quickly do you think you could throw this into a star?
09:52Oh, I'm just throwing this out.
09:54The idea of the flag in a star,
09:56and then if you want the idea of the wings
09:59with some marks coming off here. I like that.
10:02Alex, I like that better already.
10:04Our design consisted of a star that had a flag across the top.
10:07There were wings that went off each side of the star,
10:10and around the entire star, there was a box that had these jagged edges.
10:13Do you want me to create like the word rock star couture?
10:16Yeah, definitely.
10:23So we're celebrating 50 years of the t-shirt culture.
10:26Did you design this shirt?
10:30Yes.
10:31I knew it.
10:33Romero, Craig, and I headed over to the Haynes Design Center
10:36so that we could get started on our design process.
10:39But if you need to, you know, use the words t-shirt culture,
10:43then that might be the way we'll have to express it.
10:47Again, people have to want to buy the t-shirt tomorrow.
10:51I'm the project manager because I need to maintain
10:54some sense of control over this task.
10:56I knew if Craig were project manager, I would be completely shut down.
11:00I would not be able to do anything my way,
11:02and therefore we wouldn't win the task.
11:05We would love to get a hold of your contact at the gallery
11:08and send out the message.
11:10He's collected a lot of galleries in New York,
11:12so I'll definitely put a call through.
11:14Let's get some people there. Let's sell this t-shirt.
11:16We had Romero Britto's assistant send out an e-mail
11:19to 3,000 art collectors of Romero Britto's work
11:22and let them know personally that they were invited
11:25to come down tomorrow and purchase one of these limited edition t-shirts.
11:28So I have already some sketch that I was working on for you guys.
11:32So which one do you think?
11:34Should it be this or this one?
11:37Which one do you think I should work to refine?
11:40I like it there. The heart.
11:43I like it. Do you like that?
11:45I like the star factor.
11:47The star is more universal than the heart.
11:50Hmm. I think the heart.
11:53The only time Kendra wants to know my point of view
11:56is so she can make the decision that's opposite of it.
11:59I'm going to start on this piece in here now.
12:01Perfect. I feel good about that. I like keeping it simple.
12:04The decisions that were made weren't her decisions.
12:07So if we did wind up in the boardroom, ah!
12:11Bye-bye.
12:20Never get sidetracked by less important tasks.
12:24Always focus on the goal.
12:30What power!
12:32If you do get sidetracked, get right back on the rails
12:36because ultimately sidetracking kills you.
12:39Fellas, get that building down fast.
12:42Say hello to your boss.
12:51I love the shirt enough to sell it as is.
12:54I think it's a cool design.
12:56Our task was to come up with a t-shirt design
12:59to commemorate 50 years of t-shirt culture in America for Hanes.
13:02Maybe we could stud it, maybe we could rhinestone it.
13:05What if we put just 3 stones on it?
13:07If we did 3 stones, we might be able to do it.
13:10Let's do that. That'll be a great selling point.
13:13You can boost it another 18 bucks or so.
13:15The bedazzler's coming back out! Oh, my God!
13:19It's called the bedazzler.
13:21The bedazzler cost about $10,
13:23and I think I made $10,000 off of these t-shirts
13:26because I bedazzled them.
13:29Listen, I'm looking for something that's called the bedazzler,
13:33and you know what it does?
13:35You put your shirt underneath it and you crunch it down
13:38and it'll put a bead or a stud on a shirt and decorate it.
13:41You have one of those? No, we don't carry those.
13:43Oh, you don't? No.
13:45I was wondering if you could tell me,
13:47do you all still carry the bedazzler?
13:49No, we don't. Oh, no.
13:52So what do you have? Hold on.
13:54You got the jewels? We have the textured girl stud.
13:57And that's in Manhattan as well?
13:59Oh, no, it's in Staten Island.
14:01Staten Island. Are you far away?
14:03Probably about 45 minutes to an hour.
14:05Oh! Oh!
14:07I called every arts and crafts store in the New York area.
14:11Everybody was sold out of the bedazzler.
14:13I finally found a place that didn't have the bedazzler,
14:16but they did have the bedazzler rhinestones,
14:19and so I said, bingo!
14:21I don't care where she is, we're going.
14:23So what's the place we're going, babe?
14:25Staten Island Mall.
14:27Dude, that's hella far.
14:36You know, we got to really think about
14:38how we can steer traffic into the store.
14:41How can we do that?
14:43Hire somebody on the street, holding the banner.
14:45It's a bit pedestrian. I mean, what else can we do?
14:48How can I help you?
14:49Hi, I'm holding for the man
14:51who works in the arts and crafts department.
14:53On the cab ride to Staten Island, I kept saying,
14:55you know, Tana, we got to spend time
14:57just thinking about marketing,
14:59and Tana, she was just not interested.
15:01I will talk to you more about marketing on the way home.
15:04I didn't mean to not finish the conversation
15:07when I got him on the phone.
15:09The arts and crafts store.
15:11Yay!
15:15Hi, look at this.
15:17This was it, this was what we were supposed to come for.
15:20Oh, you were a big help.
15:22Long drive for something so small.
15:24I have kept a little list of Tana's decisions.
15:27I won't call them mistakes unless we're in the boardroom.
15:31But the Staten Island trip is a great example
15:34of something that's going to look really dumb in the boardroom.
15:45Let's talk about price.
15:47We could sell the short sleeve for $20
15:49and the long sleeve for $25 or something.
15:52Or something, what is that something?
15:54If we're going to price it too high, then...
15:57What's too high?
15:59Like $40, I would say.
16:01You think $40 for a hoodie is too high?
16:03This is a unique, limited edition piece of art.
16:06I still don't feel 100% comfortable with it,
16:08but I value your perspective,
16:10and I'd rather meet you in the middle.
16:12We'll do $25 and $30.
16:14If for some reason that doesn't work,
16:16we can switch it in the morning.
16:18We got other things to focus on.
16:20The price issue was an all-day thing.
16:22Kendra manages time poorly,
16:24and it's consistent, and it's tiring.
16:27I mean, we've lost hours of work.
16:30I don't feel we've managed our time well today.
16:34Will, did you write out things
16:36that you thought were really important to do?
16:38Yes, I did, and I mentioned them to you,
16:40and you scheduled things how you wanted to do them.
16:42What were those things that were really important?
16:44It's irrelevant. It's gone.
16:46That time is gone.
16:48I don't feel that that was communicated to me.
16:51Kendra, can't you understand you can't hear from me?
16:54You can't understand that by now?
16:56Do you have a problem hearing from me when I speak?
16:59No matter what tone or how nice I am,
17:02you know, you look at me like that,
17:04like, you know, like I've got a problem.
17:09Kendra and Craig definitely clash.
17:12Right now I think the dynamic right there
17:15will ultimately hurt them in the end.
17:17You never, like, came to me and said...
17:19No, I shared everything with you.
17:21If I have any suggestions, you're going to make it your business
17:24to hear what I say, but go the opposite way.
17:27So what were the ideas?
17:29It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant.
17:31No, it is not irrelevant. We have a heart on our shirt.
17:33I said star, after you.
17:35Is it just me, or is Craig just a b****?
17:40I mean, like, I don't know, I look around,
17:42there's only two people on this team, Craig and I.
17:44There's nobody left for me to turn to on my team and say,
17:47is he nuts, or am I nuts?
17:50Because at this point, you know, I'm not really sure.
17:53I'm just asking you your idea.
17:55Hold on, listen.
17:57I've told you how many times do you want me to tell you things?
17:59Why don't you just stop talking for a second?
18:01That's what I beg of, because that's all I hear.
18:03Just stop talking for a second, please.
18:05Talking, talking, talking.
18:07Please stop talking for a second.
18:15Let's get this show on the road.
18:17This task was about selling a limited edition T-shirt.
18:21We were selling collector's edition wearable art.
18:25Are these right here?
18:27Yes, sir.
18:28All right.
18:30People want to know that they have one of only 288 T-shirts in the world.
18:34It was designed by this famous artist from Arabia,
18:38and it was designed by him.
18:41It was designed by this famous artist, Romero Brito.
18:45Good morning, George.
18:47Good morning.
18:48What did you do for marketing?
18:50We emailed and contacted 3,000 of Romero Brito's fans
18:55and art collectors here in the city,
18:57and for those who don't know who Romero Brito is,
19:00we're going to educate him and get him excited.
19:02He's painted Volvos and Mini Coopers.
19:04Right, and the vodka.
19:06Absolutely.
19:07He's world-renowned.
19:09All right, I'll take a couple of hoodies.
19:11Okay.
19:12I can proudly say that I own four of his works.
19:16You need to own these because this is a limited edition.
19:19How much are they a piece?
19:21They're 35 for the hoodies, 25 for the T-shirts.
19:24We need four men's medium.
19:26The decision we made to involve art lovers really paid off.
19:30I mean, this is the artsy area.
19:32People who recognize the artist, they're going to appreciate him,
19:35and I know that's a big pulling point for us.
19:38Oh, wow.
19:39I mean, that's a selling point.
19:41All right, I'll take two.
19:45Tell you what, we'll do it for 60.
19:49Two of them, the 35 for the hoodie.
19:51No, no, no.
19:52Two for 60, you got a deal on top of that.
19:55Oh, thank you.
19:56You're quite welcome.
19:57Um, hey, Craig.
19:59If Craig is this great salesperson
20:01who's been selling for more years than I've been alive,
20:03which is the story I keep hearing,
20:05why is he giving discounts to people
20:07when they're not even expecting them?
20:09I don't want to do this two for 60 stuff.
20:12No, I'm only offering that to them when they, you know,
20:16if they buy multiples, but I don't have to do any more.
20:19We're going to lose the task if you just give away a T-shirt,
20:22and we just lost 20 bucks
20:24because Craig was just voluntarily giving away discounts.
20:27We could have had 70 instead of 60, every dollar counts.
20:30I understand, well, that's, I mean, I was trying to appease you
20:33but you remember, you weren't sure about it.
20:36So let's just not do that.
20:46Uh-oh.
20:54Oh, I need mine bedazzled.
20:56I sure as hell hope that the New Yorkers like these rhinestones.
20:59I drove all over God's creation to find them.
21:02The rhinestones just puts it a little bit, ooh, a little fancier.
21:06When the light hits it, you feel like you're wearing diamonds.
21:09Ma'am, we have a one-day T-shirt sale today.
21:11It's a Burt and Morris design only for today.
21:14A limited edition T-shirt design only for today by Burt and Morris.
21:17Okay.
21:18These T-shirts are a limited edition only today at Scoop.
21:21There's only 300 made in the world.
21:23Isn't it cute in the back?
21:24How you have it on? It's really cute.
21:26I'm not sure if the pink one would look better.
21:28Let's see, for you, lift that up, okay?
21:32Hmm, I think you look better in the blue.
21:34Would you like me to stud the blue one up for you?
21:36I'm the master studder.
21:37Um, sure.
21:38Okay.
21:39We sold more shirts that were studded and rhinestoned out than we sold none.
21:44I mean, there were people that were waiting for me to glue those damn studs on that shirt,
21:49and they didn't bat an eye at the price.
21:52$153.
21:53Oh, wonderful.
21:55You're going to like our T-shirts.
21:57This is it.
21:58Yeah.
21:59This is the best.
22:00Looks very nice.
22:01Thank you. We're doing very well.
22:03What do you price it at?
22:04Men's, $42.99.
22:06Females, $54.99 because I added the rhinestones.
22:10I think this task is going to be one on price.
22:13Net Worth has a good price point.
22:15Their price point basically is twice the price of Magna.
22:18It's a classic battle between whether I would sell volume or whether or not I would sell less,
22:24and I sell them at a higher price.
22:26I don't know. We'll see.
22:28Hey, honey, $54.99. Step right up.
22:31Very, very nice meeting you.
22:32Thanks, Aaron. You might be my last sale.
22:35Good luck to you.
22:36Thank you. I appreciate it. Yes, thank you.
22:59So, how was the T-shirt business?
23:02It was a lot of fun.
23:03Is this what you each produced?
23:05Sure.
23:06Yeah, it looks very nice, and that looks fantastic.
23:09Did you think you sold well?
23:11We did.
23:12Okay, very good.
23:13Better than they did.
23:14That's nice, Craig. You're learning. That's very good.
23:16Yes, sir.
23:17Who did the selling of your team?
23:20That would be me.
23:22You?
23:24That would be me.
23:26You?
23:27We both sold.
23:28Yeah.
23:29You both sold?
23:30Yeah.
23:31Who sold better, you or Craig?
23:34I think I'm a natural-born salesperson.
23:36More so than Craig?
23:37Very much so.
23:39Craig, do you agree with it?
23:41No. No, sir.
23:42And what did you think of your sales job? What do you think, Alex?
23:45I think we did a great job. We worked as a great team.
23:47I would stand on the outside of the street and bounce customers in, and Tana would close.
23:51Okay. So, George, how did Net Worth do?
23:55Well, Net Worth had a price point of $42.99 for a man's T-shirt and $54.99 for a woman's T-shirt.
24:02They sold 33 shirts for a total of $1,147.95.
24:08How do you like that? Good?
24:09Love it.
24:10You think it's good?
24:11I think it's great.
24:12Carolyn, how did Magna do?
24:14Well, Magna approached it a little differently.
24:16They sold short-sleeved shirts for $25, long-sleeved shirts for $35.
24:21But unlike Net Worth, they tapped into the artist's fan base and sold to art collectors.
24:26They sold 101 shirts for a total of $2,705.
24:33Great job, Magna. You win.
24:37And Net Worth, again, you lose.
24:40You know, it's amazing. You two have been winners. As soon as you go into Net Worth, you become a loser.
24:45Okay. Starting next week, there won't be any more teams.
24:49We are going to memorialize and bury Net Worth.
24:53Thank God.
24:54No more Net Worth. No more Magna.
24:56You're going to be down to the final three.
24:59You'll be competing against one another as individuals.
25:02So for your reward, I thought it would be fun for you to start competing against one another right now.
25:07Kendra and Craig, you're going to head out, climb into separate fighter planes, and go head-to-head in an aerial dogfight.
25:15And I don't know if you have a problem with air sickness or any of that. Do you?
25:19No, sir.
25:20My father was a top gun instructor.
25:21Oh, really?
25:22My father was in the Air Force.
25:23He's a top jet fighters and pilots. And hopefully you'll be okay.
25:28I know I'll be okay.
25:29And as far as you're concerned, Alex, Tana, you lost.
25:34You will both come back to the boardroom. Somebody will be fired.
25:48I was absolutely devastated when we lost.
25:51I don't lose, and to lose hurts so bad, I just hated it.
25:55For the first time, you know, Tana doesn't have her happy smile on, and I don't want to be as social around the suite just because it's like,
26:02God, man, I got my ass whipped.
26:04I just can't believe that. That was such a shock.
26:06Isn't that shocking?
26:07Jesus.
26:08You know, the odds are that I'll get fired tomorrow because I've had four consecutive losses.
26:12That's just how it looks.
26:13I don't know about that, buddy.
26:14Yeah, it is. So, no matter what happens, it's been a good ride.
26:17Absolutely.
26:18The last five tacks has just been rough. It hasn't turned out the way I thought.
26:23Now, whether or not I can bring out the offensive weaponry and change my fate, that's another question.
26:33Welcome to our combat. You are going to have the time of your life. Awesome.
26:37For a reward, I'm going to be dogfighting with Craig.
26:40The whole task was a catfight, and now we get to go dogfight.
26:43Oh, how appropriate.
26:45This is so cool.
26:47Kendra just mentioned she's ready for that dogfight. She's ready to go head-to-head with me.
26:52I don't know if I can take Kendra in aerial combat today. I could do that without a plane.
26:57All right, watch your head. We'll close that canopy a little bit.
27:01Coast Guard 1-5-0, Bravo Juliet, cleared for takeoff.
27:04Cleared for takeoff.
27:07And we're flying.
27:17Hard left. Fights on. Fights on. Fights on.
27:21There you go. Keep your eyes on him. Keep your eyes on him.
27:23Hard right. Hard right. Hard right.
27:25There they are, Craig.
27:27Good girl. Awesome.
27:29Don't turn yet.
27:30Stay with him.
27:31Left. There you go.
27:32We always want to be pulling up behind him.
27:34Once you get him back behind on the gun side, then you've got to relax.
27:37Okay.
27:38He's definitely got angles on him. We just want to be patient here.
27:41Don't lose her. Keep her in sight back there.
27:43A little bit of back stick. There she is.
27:45Hey, reverse to the right.
27:47A little bit of right stick.
27:49There she is.
27:50Hey, reverse to the right.
27:52A little bit of right stick.
27:55Nothing he can do here. Nothing he can do.
27:57And she's settling behind us. She's got us.
28:00Squeeze the trigger. Squeeze the trigger.
28:02Oh, there it is. Good, good, good.
28:04Good smoke. Good kill.
28:09That was awesome.
28:10Better than selling T-shirts, isn't it?
28:12Much better.
28:14This entire task, Craig battled me.
28:16And then we came here today, and we had dog fights.
28:18And I showed Craig that, listen, I will smoke you every time.
28:22I have two more weeks and two more dog fights.
28:25Two people to smoke, and then I'm the apprentice.
28:47Basically, Mr. Trump wants to fire me.
28:50I've got to show him why he should fire Tana.
28:54That simple.
28:56In your mind, do you have enough arsenal?
28:59If we were judging strictly on the merit of this previous task,
29:03she'd get fired in a heartbeat.
29:05She made huge mistakes, I thought.
29:08Huge.
29:10Well, Mr. Trump says, Tana, why shouldn't you get fired?
29:13Why shouldn't Alex?
29:15All right, his responsibilities was marketing.
29:18It's not because he didn't have the energy or the passion to do it.
29:21It's just he didn't have the drive.
29:23It's not enough, and he doesn't have the drive.
29:25Well, the other thing is, is I have a good track record.
29:27I was project manager three times.
29:29Won twice, lost once.
29:31And I know I have a better track record than him.
29:34Mm-hmm.
29:36Here we are.
29:37We finally get a chance to hook again.
29:39I know.
29:40I think I'm not going to be fired because I'm smarter than Tana,
29:44and I'm harder than Tana.
29:46Bye.
29:47See ya.
29:48See ya.
29:49Just because I can be friendly and I'm nice
29:51doesn't mean that I can't whoop you up and down the street.
29:54And I can guarantee you every person that's been in the boardroom with me
29:57and has been fired said, I didn't see that coming at all.
30:15How are you?
30:16Hi.
30:17Hi.
30:40Well, we're getting near the finish line, aren't we?
30:42Yes, we are.
30:43Tana, what did you think of the job Alex did?
30:46Uh, I thought Alex was fair.
30:49Fair meaning he was okay?
30:51He was okay, yes.
30:52Not great?
30:53Not great.
30:54He wasn't the greatest salesperson you've ever seen?
30:56No, I would say not.
30:57Okay, what do you think of the job she did, Alex?
31:00Um, I thought that Tana, as a project manager,
31:05did not focus on the overall objective.
31:07I thought she was terrible as a delegator.
31:09Nobody specifically was in charge of the marketing.
31:12Only two people.
31:13Who's going to be specifically in charge of marketing?
31:15The thing that I volunteered to do was to take care of the signage
31:18and to take care of the flyers.
31:19But essentially the reason why we lost is because we sold T-shirts
31:21and we didn't sell art.
31:22Seems to me you had things going for you.
31:25One, you had a major artist and a limited edition.
31:28That, to me, it spells collector's item.
31:30You didn't exploit the limited edition
31:32and you didn't indicate that it was a collector's item.
31:34I made sure that everyone knew that this was a limited edition.
31:38However, we learned very quickly that no one was interested in our artist.
31:42That's partially our fault as well because we did not put up a bio.
31:46Again, we missed the market.
31:48We didn't target art connoisseurs.
31:50Why didn't you do that?
31:52It never occurred to us, Mr. Trump.
31:54Let me ask you a question. What did you do right?
31:56That's a very good question.
31:58We designed a great shirt.
31:59I was putting beads on my shirt so that we could get $12 more for each shirt.
32:03And everybody loved the beads.
32:05They felt like a glamour queen, a diva.
32:06You think it mattered?
32:07Absolutely, Mr. Trump.
32:08I did that on T-shirts at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City
32:12and bought my bedazzler for $10 and managed to make $10,000 on bedazzling.
32:17I was able to get $54.99 for that shirt.
32:21We would have beat Magna if we would have sold 20 more T-shirts.
32:25People were paying $42.99 without batting.
32:27You lost in marketing.
32:28Absolutely.
32:29You spent so much time designing this shirt,
32:32but you didn't utilize the artist.
32:34You didn't utilize anything to do with marketing.
32:36You didn't do the marketing job.
32:37You might have had a better product,
32:39which, by the way, makes your marketing job even worse.
32:42The thing that I said to Tana was,
32:44we really need to set aside time to sit down and figure out our marketing plan.
32:48We were so focused on getting a great-looking shirt
32:50as opposed to saying, how can we sell this?
32:53Well, sometimes you have to do both.
32:54Yes. Yes, sir.
32:55You didn't lose it on the art. You lost it on the marketing.
32:57Exactly.
32:58What do you think, Janet?
32:59We lost to the other team for one reason.
33:01Because you weren't as good at marketing.
33:04At marketing, it was marketing all the way.
33:06Absolutely.
33:07At prior tasks, he had been the marketer,
33:10and I assumed that he was the marketer.
33:14He was the marketing king.
33:15And when you market, I figured he would have covered all the areas.
33:18Well, when you say you assumed...
33:20No, I mean, I'm guessing...
33:21Did you make him the marketer, or did you just assume he was the marketer?
33:23No, he was the marketer.
33:24No, I wasn't.
33:26Tana, who was the marketer?
33:28Alex was the marketer, but there was no marketing.
33:32Alex, who was the marketer?
33:35There was nobody who was the marketer.
33:37That's probably the most accurate answer given tonight.
33:40All right, I'm going to ask you both to go outside for a minute.
33:42I want to talk to George and Karen. Thanks.
33:56My beads. They didn't like my beads.
34:02George, what do you think?
34:04Well, personally, I think Alex showed a little more fire.
34:07Certainly, Tana hasn't shown any fire.
34:09She's got no fire.
34:10What do you think, Karen?
34:12I think Tana's a very good salesperson, and overall, a very nice, sweet person.
34:16But can you see her working for me with...
34:19Not after this conversation. I cannot see her...
34:21How do you deal with killing people?
34:23I can't deal with killing people.
34:25I can't deal with killing people.
34:27I can't deal with killing people.
34:29After this conversation, I cannot see her running one of your companies.
34:31I deal with killers. I deal with the toughest people in the world.
34:33How is she going to handle this?
34:35Robin, let him come in, please.
34:37Both of you can return to the boardroom. Thank you.
34:59Tana, why did the other team kill you?
35:02Not in design, but in selling.
35:04They killed us in selling because they targeted art galleries,
35:07and they made this a piece of art rather than a stinking T-shirt.
35:10Why aren't you blaming Alex?
35:12I am blaming Alex.
35:14You said, who's in charge of marketing? And I said, Alex.
35:16We failed in marketing. Therefore, Alex failed our team.
35:19I said, we need to take a break and come up with a strategy.
35:23Tana said, we need to go to Staten Island.
35:25I said, Tana...
35:26Excuse me. Why did you have to go to Staten Island?
35:28We had to go to Staten Island to get the beads for the T-shirt.
35:31You couldn't have gotten them in Manhattan?
35:32No, they were sold out.
35:34Sold out?
35:35Of my beads.
35:36It's inconceivable to me that when you have the fashion capital of the world
35:41on the island of Manhattan, that you can't find beads,
35:44and you had to go all the way to Staten Island.
35:46There's a certain store that sells the bedazzler, and we could not get it.
35:49Why would it have to be the bedazzler?
35:50Why couldn't you have just gotten another kind of a bead?
35:52Well, the problem is, is we were looking for the machine.
35:55I mean, Staten Island, I go to Staten Island a lot.
35:57Staten Island's a long trip.
35:59It is. It was.
36:00It's a huge waste to go find a bedazzler.
36:02Was there any point in time where you said,
36:04this is just taking too much of my time,
36:06and put it down and focus somewhere else?
36:08I was going to, however, we didn't have another plan.
36:11There are five little beads on a T-shirt.
36:13I know they're beads, but they made a difference.
36:14They made a difference as to why you lost,
36:16because you spent so much time going to Staten Island
36:19that you didn't have time to sell.
36:20Well, I think what it hurt is our marketing.
36:22I think we would have sat down and figured, okay, what is the objective here?
36:25Why do we have this big pop artist?
36:26But we never took time out to do that.
36:28The bottom line is, it never hit our brains
36:30to think of incorporating our incredible pop artist.
36:33And whose fault is that, yours or Alex's?
36:35I think it's both of our faults.
36:36I know, but you're the team leader.
36:37I'm the team leader, absolutely.
36:39This was a two-person team.
36:41Whose fault is it, Alex?
36:42I honestly think on that part, that was both of our faults.
36:45I know that on the flyers that I had handed out,
36:47specifically showcased the newest Burton Morris creation,
36:50all we pitched was the artist.
36:52Tana, I see a woman that wants to put beads on her shirt.
36:54That's not what I'm all about.
36:56And I'm not saying he's a star, either.
36:58I'm very disappointed in him.
37:00How are you going to deal with killer people in New York City,
37:02Las Vegas, or wherever I happen to send you?
37:04I'm not intimidated by people, Mr. Trump.
37:06I actually had a lot of powerful people with a lot of money in my life,
37:10and they didn't intimidate me.
37:12I'm great at what I do.
37:14I am a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant.
37:16I have an eBay store, and I have a designer clothing store.
37:19And all three of them are very lucrative businesses that I started.
37:22I take a vision, and I make it a successful business.
37:24I am a fighter. I'm just a nice person.
37:27And, I mean, I will fight for what I want, and I want to work for you.
37:32And my record is better than Alex's.
37:35I was a project manager three times, and I won two times.
37:38One of them was a defeat over Alex.
37:42Is that right, Alex?
37:43How many times have you lost, Alex?
37:45I lost before I came on to this team.
37:49I lost...
37:51I believe I lost three times, and since I've been on this team...
37:54How many times have you lost as project manager?
37:56I've lost once, and I've won once.
37:58I think you've lost twice as project manager, haven't you?
38:03I was with Brent. I was project manager. You're right.
38:05How can you not remember when you lost?
38:07Has losing gotten so commonplace to you?
38:09How can you not remember that you lost twice as project manager, Alex?
38:13Well, because, to me, having lost five consecutive times, that's terrible.
38:18When you purchased the New Jersey Generals, Herschel Walker was on that team.
38:22They had four wins and 14 losses.
38:25It still didn't mean that he wasn't destined to be an MVP for the NFL.
38:29So I've had a lot of losses.
38:31I'm a born leader. I am fearless, and I have all kinds of fire in my belly.
38:35But why did you misrepresent your losses as project manager?
38:38That was a mistake. It was an accident, because I didn't remember.
38:40You asked me on the spot. I didn't remember that I'd led three times.
38:42And yet she remembered that you lost twice.
38:44Yes, especially because...
38:46It's in her advantage to remember this sort of thing.
38:48It would have been to your advantage to tell the truth.
38:50Well, first of all, I wasn't...
38:52You lost with staples, and you lost with wearable technology, so that's twice.
38:56I didn't... Well, that was...
38:58The last time you won as project manager was eight weeks ago for the graffiti billboard.
39:04Eight weeks, Alex.
39:06And I'll tell you what. I think, Tana, you were terrible.
39:09But I will say, for the last number of weeks, you've been pretty terrific.
39:13And on this task, even though you both failed at marketing,
39:16Tana came up with the ideas and did most of the selling,
39:19while Alex, it almost seemed like you sat back and hoped that she'd fail.
39:24Alex, you're fired.
39:29Sorry. Go. Out.
39:43Out.
40:00Yeah.
40:13Yeah.
40:43Yeah.
40:49Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
40:54Next Thursday, it's down to the Apprentice Final Three,
40:57which means only one thing.
40:59Bring on the interviews.
41:01Do you think it's really possible?
41:02My leadership...
41:03And it won't be easy.
41:05Why should Mr. Trump hire you?
41:08And in the first half hour, the Final Three will fight it out.
41:12This is our one chance to prove ourselves.
41:14The biggest boardroom of the season.
41:16This is it. This is my moment.
41:18All leading to the live grand finale.
41:20You're hired.
41:21All-new Apprentice, NBC next Thursday.
41:24Want to find it by the T-shirts created on tonight's show?
41:27Go to Yahoo Shopping and search for Apprentice T-shirt.
41:32For more Apprentice, log on to NBC.com.
41:34Being accurate about wins and losses, that's very important to Mr. Trump.
41:40Obviously, I mean, Mr. Trump lives and dies on the basis of who wins what and how many do you win.
41:44He always is asking for those calculations.
41:46Those numbers are never important to me.
41:48I always thought it took like freaking, I don't know, six months to set up a business.
41:53Hey, I can do this in 24 hours.
41:56I mean, this changes everything.
41:57I mean, I can't wait to go home.
42:00I have like 10 business ideas.
42:02I'm going to start immediately.
42:04I feel like I'm released.
42:06Completely released.
42:08And now I can go forward and I can start a brand new life.
42:12It's pretty cool.
