There’s a corporate reshuffling tonight. We’ve currently got Bren, Craig, Kendra, and Tana on Magna, and Chris and Alex on Net Worth – from the promos, it looked like Bren was the one to move over. The task is to write a promo for a new car – “some” candidates pull an all-nighter, per the TV Guide website. One team does great, the other tanks (heh). Any guesses as to which is which? Elsewhere in the _Apprentice_ universe – next week’s TV Guide has an interview with Bill Rancic. (Page 17 for those of you who are going to read it while in line at the checkout.) Main news – he’s re-upped for another year with Trump, and “It’s safe to say I’ll be doing better than I did last year.” But he hasn’t gotten laid in months. And our boy Kelly Perdew is working on Trump Bottled Water. ---

Didn’t the previews from last week ruin who wins reward? Is Craig still on this show? ---

> [@twickster](#): > > And our boy Kelly Perdew is working on Trump Bottled Water. \*I just want to be close to you Mistar Trump. \* Sorry, had a little Kelly-hate flashback there. I wonder if they’re going to do the same ridiculous finale this year. If so I hope Mumbles the Executive has a few lines again. 😃 I don’t remember what we were promised this week. A blow up in the board room? A blow up after the board room? Something… ---

I dearly hope Chris bites the big one this week. More than that, he’s the obvious choice for which candidate has a big blow-up. (See the two recent threads on his arrest for disorderly conduct.) ---

> [@twickster](#): > > And our boy Kelly Perdew is working on Trump Bottled Water. Am I missing something here, or did Perdew originally land a gig to manage that huge Trump development project in Manhattan? Moving from a trophy development project in the Big Apple–a project that made Trump salivate on camera, when he saw the model–to hawking bottled water seems like a HUGE demotion. Does anyone read it differently? ---

> [@twickster](#): > > And our boy Kelly Perdew is working on Trump Bottled Water. That sounds like a euphamism for, “he holds the bucket when Trump needs to take a piss.” Go Kelly! ---

Bump. Almost time to see if anything comes of Kendra’s whininess lately. ---

Kendra’s the most immature person ever, but I still want her to win. That’s how much I hate Alex. ---

“I’m the project manager. No fair. Shut UP.” What is Kendra, 13? And that brochure’s not that great. Plus Tania’s better at presentations anyway. ---

Meeting NBA stars at MSG…that’s such a _guys_ reward. Too bad they sucked. And Kendra needs to grow up a little and quit trying to be such a credit hog. ---

As soon as I saw that red tank top ho, I knew they were up the creek. Chris was excited to have 3 men coming up with how to market a car, but unless Pontiac wants to market exclusively to 21 year old millionaires, Chris is out of his depth. ---

In fairness, they did kinda bail on her. The one I liked least was Craig. Kendra was in the same position he was in on the box, and he didn’t give her the same respect he wanted. Bit disappointed in him. But it’s her time to shine. 🙂 ---
