Tonight they “do” cruises. Alas, if only Raj were there to wear pink Bermuda shorts. See y’all back here at 9! ---

Last week’s preview hinted at one of the team members being left on the cruise ship as it leaves. I can see Donald telling the teams that they will be working on a whodge cruise ship then show the teams on something like a commuter ferry. ---

Man, that is so wrong—showing all the bagels whilst talking about Brent. ---

By the way, I still hate Andrea. ---

Judging by the editing of the intro, **Rysler** is predicting Andrea will be gone tonight. I think I agree. ---

I missed last week, so remind me. The bitchy red-haired sticker woman complaining the the black woman needed to be “coddled” or wasn’t fit to work for Trump – is she the same one who cried when Brent came back before? If so I’ve got some :rolleyes: stickers just for her. ---

Yes, Andrea is the one who burst into tears at the thought of having to work with Brent. ---

My bet’s on the PM – Dan? He didn’t listen to Lenny. ---

When are they ever going to learn that when Trump tells you who to bring back to the Board Room, you bring that person back to the Board Room? I knew Trump was going to start harping on that Mensa “genius” thing again. Tarek is never going to hear the end of it as long as he’s in the game. ---

Why’s Trump upset with Lenny? Sure, it was a stupid idea, but the **team** made the decision to go with it. Doesn’t Trump listen? Props to Dan for blaming it all on Lenny. Tarek made a good point about standouts becoming targets. He does have a lot of energy, and he works hard. Which one insisted on not doing a voice-over? Dan or Tarek? Are Andrea’s hands yooooge, or are they big compared to the rest of her? But using a castaway in a cruise line ad? :smack: ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > I meant to say props to Dan for NOT blaming Lenny. IMHO, the only reason Dan did not bring back Lenny is because he was afraid Lenny would hand his ass to him in the boardroom (especially if Lee was there too). And he would have (even without Lee). ---

How would you have done the ad? I think I would’ve done a contrast thing, like the winning team, however, I’d show one group like automatons, being herded from place to place, interrupting their sleep to go eat at their assigned time. The Norwegian passengers would be shown to be fun and carefree. With voice-overs. 😉 StG ---

And he would have (even without Lee). Probably true… I dont know why Lenny didnt stand up and say that HE was the ONLY one who REALLY protested the subtitles and no voice over… He could of saved his ass in Trumps mind I bet. Sure, the castaway idea didnt work but the whole team was behind it, why that doesnt matter to Trump I dont know… I think he just has a boner for firing Lenny. Lenny definatly wasnt the cause of this weeks loss! “The Donald” Really disappointed me tonight in his lust for firing Lenny. Trump was wrong and his two little sidekicks could only “yes sir, good decision sir!” Like they would ever disagree with his decision… lol. ---

Dan had one of the better taxicab recaps. No recriminations, no whining. He seems like a nice enough guy. It’s going to be interesting when Lenny gets to be PM. I wonder if his strategy should be to lay low for awhile, or volunteer for PM and get some positive points with Trump. ---

> [@Whammo](#): > > Probably true… I dont know why Lenny didnt stand up and say that HE was the ONLY one who REALLY protested the subtitles and no voice over… Maybe he did. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… we only see a tiny portion of what really goes on in the boardroom. ---

“Tis better to fly under-the-radar and be suspected of lacking leadership ability than to step up and remove all doubt.” Just saying. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-apprentice-3-27-06/350156.md?page=2)
