David became an even more incompetent ass in The Apprentice Season 10 Episode 3, but that was not enough for him to be fired. Instead, James, who does not make good TV, was fired.
During the boardroom, Steuart called David out for his tantrum in front of the client. David’s angry with him, too. He doesn’t plan to take this well. Shocking considering how well he seems to take everything else.
Clint already made up his mind to be the next project manager, regardless of Wade claiming he was going to step up. Wade quickly backs down.
In addition to meeting with Russell Simmons, Tyana is rewarded with a $10,000 gift card from Calvin Klein, which apparently makes more than just underpants.
Popcorn Indiana is one of the biggest and brightest popcorn companies, or so Trump tells us. The task is to create a guerrilla marketing stunt made into a video. The winner of the task will have the video with the best potential to go viral. Don’t these companies get that you can’t force a video to go viral? To assist them, they will meet Charlie Todd, who apparently creates viral videos.
For the women, Mahsa will be the project manager. She plans to be bossy. Shouldn’t be a big step.
Tyana is not onboard with any plans the women have, although she does not have anything but vague suggestions herself. Eventually, they settle on the concept of somebody eating popcorn while working out, to which she rolls her eyes.
Liza, Tyana, and Poppy are sent shopping by Mahsa because she doesn’t think they’re contributing much.
The men are considering a popcorn fight. Wade asks: what about the children? They shouldn’t be watching people get hit with bags of popcorn.
David says he thinks he’s going to lose a tooth on a bagel. So he keeps eating it. Eventually, half of his tooth comes out. Who does the catering for this show? He’ll be missing yet another task. Steuart doesn’t get why he has to go to the dentist right then and there rather than waiting until the task is done tomorrow. Can’t say I disagree. He could go to any drug store and grab some Dentemp. It’s a back tooth, so it’s not as if it interferes with any sort of presentation they may have to do.
When the shoppers return, Mahsa assigns them to take flip cameras and record. Tyana takes this as a way for Mahsa to have something to pin on them. Let me get this straight. Her assigning you to do a task… that’s all about her trying to set you up? What do you want to do, sit on the sidelines? We all know this chick is going back to the boardroom regardless. It’s not as if she’s contributing anything.
Ivanka doesn’t see how the men’s video will catch on, although it could possibly be funny. It looks like their concept is probably a ball for anybody participating in it, but as a watcher, I don’t see the appeal. At the end of the day, Wade still says this is too much for children to handle. Oy.
Don Jr. believes Mahsa looks like a director, but perhaps she’s taking perhaps too much control, leaving people like Tyana and Liza without much to do. After they’re done shooting, Tyana says they should do something different. She’s still not onboard and doesn’t plan on getting onboard or even pretending to be part of the team.
Charlie thinks that the women’s video is funny, but maybe they didn’t go far enough with it. As for the men, that made him laugh. Something exciting was happening, although it was a little violent. Whoever ends up winning this task, their video’s not going viral.
Anand calls Clint a breath of fresh air.
Wade will be stepping up to be project manager next week. Oh, this story again.
Steuart thinks they had an excellent team. Trump pushes the issue. He means without David? Well, David wasn’t there, if that answers the question.
It’s not going to take pulling teeth to get Tyana to say before the results are revealed that she doesn’t like the video. Mahsa quickly speaks up to say that, if they lose, Tyana should be fired for her weakness. Win or lose, Mahsa does not plan on taking these comments back. Tyana thinks they lost. There’s the confidence I’ve been looking for. She quite enjoys the men’s video, though, and Mahsa’s response to that is that Tyana’s evil. Wow.
The executive loved that the men’s video made him laugh out loud and that it was really an event. However, the brand’s tagline was hard to hear, and it was a bit violent.
On the other side, he thought the women’s idea was clever. The cons: it was kind of contrived, not necessarily guerrilla, and didn’t really go far enough.
In the end, the men win the challenge. Tyana agrees with this decision, but Wade still won’t be showing it to his children. As Clint’s reward, he will meet with Steve Forbes.
Mahsa’s defense is that she did everything by herself. They lost. Shouldn’t she be fired then?
Stephanie would fire Tyana. She may not have agreed with the concept, but she also wasn’t useful in changing it. Brandy agrees. Don’t come to her with problems unless you have a solution.
Liza would fire Tyana. Hmm, didn’t see that coming. Kelly agrees. Tyana checked out rather than at least trying to help. Poppy falls in line with everybody else.
But Don Jr. has a question. Is Tyana the reason they lost the task? No. But she didn’t do anything that would have contributed to a win either.
Tyana and Liza will be returning to the boardroom.
For all of Tyana’s talk, she didn’t have any ideas to fix the situation either. Tyana has been fired. Since leaving the show, Tyana has decided she wants to stay in the real estate business.
