The Final Task

Episode 14 - Monday, May 29, 9:00 PM

The final two candidates take on their toughest tasks yet, coordinating two massive charity events. One finalist faces off with a tough executive while putting on a celebrity hockey event and the other lets his heart lead him astray while staging a massive rock concert in Atlantic City.

["His" and "him" are generic pronouns that could refer to either male or female]

Pontiac is a corporate sponsor for this episode.

Orthodox Apprentice has learned that the concert was performed by Barenaked Ladies on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, at Trump Taj Mahal. The event was not open to the public. Free tickets were given to Taj Mahal employees. All attendees were required to sign a waiver/non-disclosure. George and Donald were in attendance.

The playlist included these songs: It's All Been Done, Life (in a Nutshell), Taj Rap, Pinch Me, Get in Line, Upside Down, Curry Yogurt Rap, Alcohol, Shopping, What a Good Boy, Too Little Too Late, One Week, Old Apartment, If I had a Million Dollars, Brian Wilson (encore).

It's unlikely that they played any Chanukah songs from Barenaked for Hanukkah.



Two candidates will be fired in the previous Episode (#13).

Looks like the two men will be fired for losing the task and it will be two women finalists.

The Chevy task couldn't have been rescheduled. All the dealers made their travel plans well in advance of the date. Also the park was reserved and it takes time to get permits.

The final events also couldn't be rescheduled. You can't just move the date of a major concert or a celebrity charity event that involves many many busy people. You're talking about rescheduling facilities, permits, the band and its entire crew, all the celebrities, the executives of the charities and the sponsor companies. It's not possible to move the dates around based on weather.

Why would the cereal task be impacted by rain? The whole thing was indoors. Does business stop in NY when it rains?

Why do you think interviews were ever in the plans? Have they done that every season?

I heard the corporate sponsors pay about a million bucks for an episode. I don't think they would be ok with a task being cancelled for rain.

With all due respect, aren't you the guy who kept telling us that the whole show would move to Fridays for the last few weeks of the season?

All the tasks are planned well ahead which is exactly why I dont believe anything was ever canceled or rescheduled.

The car dealers for that event flew in from around the country. You think they all changed their plans at the last minute?

Unless there was a blizzard, it's not likely the Post task wouldve been affected by weather. There was heavy rain, but I don't know of any offices, businesses or stores in NY or NJ that closed early becuase of the weather. It wouldnt happen unless all the streets were closed.

Of all things, the interviews would be the easiest to resschedule. If the execs werent available, anyone else could fill in. If it didn't happen, it prolly was never planned.

Any task that involved the ceo of a sponsor couldnt be rescheduled or canceled. It could take months to book an appointment on a ceo's calendar.

How could hair cuttery have been rescheduled? Dontcha think the grand opening of a store is planned out and scheduled well in advance? It's not moved for weather or because it's not convenient for the filming
schedule.

I saw a list before the season of all the company sponsors. None have been skipped so what does that tell you?

Sorry to ramble, but I dont think it's right to make assumption that anything was postponed, accelerated, canceled or rescheduled for any reason whatsoever - Lee's religion, weather, etc. Everything is well planned in advance and its not likely that any dates were ever changed.

We've been hearing you preach that the last few episodes would all be moved to Fridays. Didnt happen. You said Apprentice prolly wouldnt air tonight because of bush. But its on tonight. You said deal no deal couldnt be shortened. But it is. You saidf finale was never scheduled for 6/12. But teh contest rules say it was gonna be on that date. You said thered be exec interviews. But there arent any.

Most importantly you said the final show was moved to accomadate Lee as a finalist. Why shoudl we trust you now?

Besides theyve known about the finalists since last november.

Wallyworld: "You saidf finale was never scheduled for 6/12."

Wallyhorse: "The finale was NEVER going to be on Monday, June 12."

Both statements are probably true. They don't contradict each other.

Maybe it's just me or maybe this has been noticed before, but the executive producer of the Apprentice (Jay Bienstock) has the exact same last name as Lee... any relation?

No relation - very old news - watch Lee's audition video on nbc or yahoo's apprentice site

It seems there may be an episode next monday and who knows when it is because they keep changing the time...
Does anyone know when the ultimate finale is to be scheduled?
ie. the part where they annnounce the winner and have a big celebration and audience?

It's the same thing season after season there never is any announcement anywhere about when the finale is to take place.
And also they keep changing the times without noitice. so much for setting my vcr.
