Episode 12 - Sean, Lee, You're Hired!
If you missed tonight's episode, you didn't miss much at all. Here's a brief lee-cap:
- Sean and Lee got along well and didn't clash at all on their task.
- Tammy volunteered as Synergy's project manager, but couldn't gain the respect of Allie or Roxanne. Tammy Trenta was in it for herself and her teammates didn't give her any support. Their constant eye-rolling became an issue during the task, in their on-the-street interviews and in the boardroom.
- The Wal-Mart judge preferred Gold Rush's Xbox 360 display because it was more focused on selling store merchandise. The Microsoft judge went along with that decision.
- For their reward, Lee Bienstock and Sean Yazbeck flew to Hollywood to provide the voices for Lunch Table Larry and BBQ Barry in the Dreamworks animated film Over the Hedge. Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling and Steve Carell are the lead voices.
- Jeffrey Katzenberg turned to Sean and Lee and said, "You're hired!"
- Allie Jablon tried to keep quiet in the boardroom. Roxanne Wilson blamed the loss on Tammy. Trump agreed and fired the businesswoman from New Jersey.
- Lee didn't do much to strengthen or weaken his position this week. Other than stay out of the boardroom, which is huge for him.
Episode 13: Monday, May 22, 9:00 ET/PT
Next week, it's the two guys against the pair of women. The task is to create a new line of uniforms for Embassy Suites hotel staff. One team uses its love of fashion to try to stitch together a win, while the other team models its designs on market research. The winners hit the town with Trump's favorite apprentices, while the losers struggle to survive the boardroom. Two candidates will be fired before the next (and final) task.

do we know for sure 2 people are fired?
It is possible that they do the interviews in the first 15 minutes of 5/29 episode (i seem to remember them doing that in 1 of the first 3 seasons....)
The final task takes up 2 full episodes (including the "live" finalie - which is really only the last 30 minutes of the 90 minute special - at least thats what they did in season 4)
I'm just saying its possible...
Although if 2 people are fired next week - there's no guarantee they're both on the losing team. I could see someone on the winning team (Allie more likely) doing something to piss off Trump, which results in him bringing in everyone to the boardroom.
Anything can happen... guess we'll hve to wait and see - becuase at this point no information online is useful anymore
i suggest this because the preview did say "anyone can be fired"
You've got way too much speculation going on Wally.
Yes what you say is possible - but a lot is possible - and I'm sticking with whats plain and in front of us - what you've said give absoltuly no indication that there are no interviews - you're ignorning the fact that Trump doesn't normally plan on firing multiple people in an episode - so there are tasks that probably get dropped as fliming progresses (yes weather issues also falls under this catagroy - but I would assume they have contingency plans for bad weather, so things don't get majorly screwed up because of some rain, like cancelling the interviews).
The only solid reason one can present for there not being any interviews is that they were dropped in season 4
Wallyhorse: Dont know where you get your info, but its the 2nd week in a row you said the spoilers were wrong. Dude, you should stop reading those spoilers, wherever they are. I never saw any spoilers that said allie or roxanne would be fired. A few weeks ago you said something about a spoiler that allie and sean would have a relationship. Never heard about that one either. Do you make these up in your mind and say its a spoiler? Is there a spoiler site we should know about? Becasue apparently the spoilers are spoiled. I stick with mitch, he seems to know whats goin on.
Your logic behind no interviews for season 4 is ridiculous, to put it mildly. Every step of the way during the filming of a season, people are watching. They all sign agreements not to talk about what they see. The interview process is the simplest to hide from the public. No one but the interviewer, interviewee and a cameraman needs to be in the room. By your logic, the final tasks would be done privately in a small closed room. Not in a baseball stadium or a comedy club or a concert hall. God forbid someone might see whos in the finals.
To say that this season's interviews were canceled because a task was canceled because someone might have goten wet is even more ridiculous.
Theres an obvious reason why there are no interviews. MONEY!!! No company is gonna sponsor an interview becuase an interview cant promote a product or a store. This show is all about the sponsors. Thats why theres no interview. In the earlier seasons with interviews, many, maybe most, tasks didnt have large corporate sponsors. Now, if theres no sponsor theres no episode. Even the rewards are all commercials now. I think that why we dont have the interview episode. Because no one wants to sponsor it. Not becuase someone lost their umbrella.
I just want to say that I do love Walts enthusiasm for the show and I look forward to reading each of his posts. Although I dont always agree with what he says, its nothing personal between him and me. He keeps it interesting!
Wallyhorse obviously has a deep love for this show. He just needs someone to play his devils advocate sometimes.

"do we know for sure 2 people are fired?"
Yes, we have confirmation that two people will be fired on the next episode.
We agree that one person could be fired from each team. It certainly would not surprise us if that happened.
Also, we have no reason to believe that any executive interviews were ever planned for this season.
The two girls are pretty useless. You see how they tanked Tammy like that, and that type of person is useless to Mr. Trump. In the next episode, the girls are going to use their love of fashion to stitch together a win, but will fail. The guys, led by Lee, will do the market research and get a win. It's going to be a huge win, and Trump will fire both of the ladies as a result. I think it will be interesting to see the two girls at each others' throats for once. They refused to consider attacking each other in this boardroom.
So that means the orthodox apprentice is wrong. if its guys vs. girls and the winners get to hang out with old apprenti then how is there a guy and a girl in the last two?
As it has been said (and the brief preview at the end of last nights episode tried to claim) - "anyone" can be fired - just because a team wins doesn't mean both members are safe.
Trump may very well bring all 4 in (and its very likely it will happen)
Walt-
You saw it here first!!! We told you about that sighting (with a link to the source) on April 6th.
Here's what we said:
christinaboo blogged about witnessing the filming of fired Apprentice candidates leaving Trump Tower on November 3, 2005. Based on her description of "a blond lady n a white guy," it appears to have been Pepi Diaz and Stacy Schneider.
There's always been speculation that each candidate is filmed walking out to the cab at the beginning of the season. When there's a multiple firing, however, the original footage can't be used so they need to stage the scene at a later date. This could explain why Pepi and Stacy would be filmed leaving Trump Tower in November. Or it could have been Allie or Leslie with Lenny, Tarek, Lee or Sean. We suspect it was Episode 2's double-firing.
Link to our original post: http://tinyurl.com/qo64a
Six weeks since we first posted that, we're now left with the possibilities that either our original suspicion was accurate, or it could have been Allie with either Lee or Sean.
The timeframe is very tight for the next boardroom to take place on November 3 and it would leave much more time than expected before the final task on November 8. It is possible though. Not likely, but possible.
To reiterate what we said earlier, there will be two firings and they might, or might not, be teammates.
By the way, did anyone else notice that Tammy entered the cab wearing a green coat, but wore a black coat during her cab speech?
There is still very good reason to believe that this could have been Pepi and Stacy. The walk from the building to the cab for any double-firing has to be staged at the end of the (filming) season.
The November 3 date is a bit tight (but possible) for the final boardroom. It's more reasonable as a date when multiple firings could have been filmed walking to the car.
On the other hand, there has been plenty of chatter in recent weeks about Roxanne & Lee in the finals.
Either scenario is possible.
The speeches in the taxi arent filmed the same day as the boardroom. Dan hinted at this in his interviews cuz he was fired just before yom kippur started. They make sure to wear the same outfit for the taxi speech and walking to the cab as they wore in the boardroom. All the walks and cab rides are prolly filmed at the end because people try to hang out and watch whos leaving the building. This girls blog is the reason they film it all at the end. If she saw it on a date like october 3 then we'd all know what would be happening. Since its at the end we dont really know.
Look at the March 06 entry "Silly Couple" and you'll see that wasn't about the final two. So this tells us nothing. We still have no clue what will happen.

I remember back in Nov 2005, I wrote an entry about Terence n my 6th year anniversery dinner. We couldn't get in the cool restaurant and after our quick dinner, we decided to walk around and ran into shooting of the firing scence of the Apprentice. I said a blond girl and a tall guy got fried. Tonight they aired that epsode and when Trump said, "I will fire 2 people today." I was thinking, this must be the one I where I was standing across the street when they were filminf. To my surprise, I saw Terence and I standing across 5th Ave like dorks on the TV. It was only 2 sec long, but long enough to recognize myself and my husband hehe...
Another Wallyhorse spoiler is busted!!!
We forgive you... keep it coming!
Kudos to Orthodox Apprentice for not buying into the "spoiler".
OA- do you know if the highlights show is available/ariring anywhere (besides itunes?
everyone should go to nbc.com and vote for lee. i'm normally not into this stuff but its still a tv show and you know they will want to make the public happy and therefore "hire" someone the viewers support.
Yes, it would probably be a good idea to get the voting going now (www.nbc.com), because Lee seems to be lagging behind. TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
From the website it looks like the current voting is just a poll and the real voting starts a week before the finale.
you really think Trump is gonna make a hiring decision based on public opinion? gimme a break! it certainly couldn't hurt someone to lead the poll, but it ain't gonna clinch it.
