The Apprentice Week Whatever

Liveblogging starting now!

WOOWEEE! A BOX! CROWN MOLDING, YEAH BABY! *snore*

9:06 PM

It’s all about presentation. You can have the worst, most boring idea in the world, but it’s all about the presentation.

Is it just me, or is Angie just… ugh. She bugs me. Her voice.

You can definitely see the difference between Magna and Net Worth, now. One team is exceptional, bright, and knows how to pull together in order to win, even if they weren’t originally thrilled with an idea. Craig wasn’t a great leader, but the team was mature enough to pull together. There’s a little disappointment there because Craig is obviously the weakest link and if they lose, he can’t be fired. The other team is just full of all the whiny people.

That boardroom pissed me off. They all ganged up on Erin just because she was the most convenient scapegoat. Erin’s the smartest one on the team. It wasn’t her best performance, but she’s not the reason the team lost. They didn’t even let her talk. At least Stephanie said the PM was the reason the team lost. Angie’s condescending attitude bugs me even more now. Her little speech at the beginning, you could just feel the BS dripping.

Chris is very unprofessional, but I didn’t like how Erin brought up the chewing tobacco — that was low. But I can understand it because she couldn’t get a word in edgewise. If you’re under pressure, you do what you can.

9:30PM

ERIN! YOU BLEW IT! Right at the end! You had it, and then you had to do that. Don’t diss George and Carolyn! That’s a no-no! I saw it coming right at the end. Once you winked, I knew it was over.

I missed George and Carolyn’s comments because I was typing, but I think they’re wrong. Angie is horrible, and she’s the reason why the team lost that task.

Ooh, and let me say that I was so excited about The Office because Americans always take British shows and make them better. So far, I think it’s funny. (Note: I have not seen the British one; I just know it exists.)

What I’ve Learned from the Schiavo Case

Perhaps from my basic core belief in “Je pense, donc je suis,” you could infer that I would not want to live in a brain-damaged state. Well, I’m just here to say, don’t yoink the feeding tube and keep me alive as long as possible. I don’t think idle words and experimental thoughts should provide clear and convincing evidence if something bad should ever happen to me.
