From the
NBCUMV.com release for this week:
VIEWERS TO HELP DONALD TRUMP DECIDE THE NEXT APPRENTICE
Published: March 30, 2006
NBC'S "The Apprentice" to Air Monday, April 3 at 10 P.M. ET/PT This Week Only
NEW YORK -- March 29, 2006 -- Over the past two years, millions upon millions have tuned in to hear Donald Trump's infamous phrase, "You're Hired!" For the first time in the show's history, NBC's "Apprentice" fans will have the opportunity to advise Trump on who he should select to be the next "Apprentice." NBC announced today that in the penultimate week viewers will be able to vote for one of the final two candidates via phone and on-line at www.NBC.com. The results of America's favorite candidate will be presented to Trump during the live finale before he makes his final decision.
Beginning this week, www.NBC.com will host an ongoing weekly poll where viewers can vote for their favorite candidate and track their weekly progress.
"I'm very anxious to see who the fans choose for their favorite finalist -- their decision could have a big effect on my ultimate decision," said Trump.
"Over the past four seasons of 'The Apprentice', Donald Trump has used the final episode to hire candidates with advice only from George and Carolyn," said Mark Burnett, Creator and Executive Producer. "This year we thought it would be interesting to discover what America has to say about the candidates, incorporating our fans and viewers as virtual judges. While Trump will still be the final arbiter of who he hires, America's feedback is certain to have an impact on his decision."
Following a special two-hour "Deal or No Deal" (April 3rd, 8-10 p.m. ET/PT), this week's episode of "The Apprentice," follows Gold Rush and Synergy as they take on the music world and write an original jingle for the popular restaurant chain Arby's (10-11 p.m. ET/PT). Judged by Arby's executives, the team with the most effective but creative jingle wins. The winning team enjoys a scrumptious reward and the losers face the music in the boardroom.
"Gold Rush" - Bryce, Charmaine, Lee, Lenny, Leslie, Tarek
"Synergy" - Allie, Andrea, Michael, Roxanne, Sean, Tammy
So, essentially, fan voting is just another ploy to get people more involved in the show. Trump still makes the final decision. Power trip...what else is new?

That is a terrible idea. I think that he should just be a man about his and pick whoever the hell he wants like he did in the first three seasons. He doesn't need anyone else's help in making a decision.

Maybe the black couple seen dining with Bill Ranford in last fall's spoiler were the two actors Synergy hired for their Norwegian Cruise ship commercial
Are we sure they did hire actors? I got the impression those were just two random people they picked out from among those on the ship, although we didn't see them accosting people like we did on the cereal task. With only three hours to work with I wouldn't think they had time to hire actors.
I tend to think that the couple seen dining with Bill, if it wasn't Randall and his wife from last season, were probably completely unrelated to the show.

The other team watches as their project manager butts heads with a negative teammate.
(this is from the April 10th episode)
Negative teammate. Andrea? If the project manager butts heads with her, that might be a person who is not among Andrea's sidekicks. Tammy and Michael are her sidekicks, Allie and Roxanne already served as PM - could the PM in this episode (barring a reshuffle) be Sean?
One project manager nails the concept but drives everyone crazy because they can't make a decision.
This sounds like Bryce. He's repeatedly backed away from ideas when he is afraid they won't work.
I think Bryce's editing has marked him, and he will lose and be fired in this episode.
That only makes me wonder who will be fired in the April 3 episode. Michael? Leslie? Tarek? If the spoiler about most of the next firees being men is true, then Michael or Tarek. Maybe Michael and Leslie face off as PMs on tomorrow's episode and Michael loses?

Actually, the preview video is up on Yahoo!, and Bryce is the next PM for GR... self-elected, of course! The clip shows Bryce and Tarek talking in their suite, then them having a group session after last week's BR, trying to talk out their problems (mainly with Tarek). I don't think Tarek will go if they lose because he and Bryce seem pretty close.

That is a good possibility. If it was Michael instead, I don't see Allie/Sean/Roxanne being negative. Unless there is a shuffle or the clique turns on Michael, I can see the whole "Sean is PM, and has problems with Andrea or her gang."
If it is Sean vs. Bryce as PM, I hope Synergy does win. Because Bryce annoys me to death, and I confess that I actually kind of like Sean.

Thanks, I should have checked for a preview video before I posted.
This season one team has won, then lost the next week, then won the week after that. I'm not sure if that will continue because Bryce has been edited as such a loser. If they lose I think he will be fired. If Synergy loses, I think Michael will be fired.
I guess Leslie is taking a Toral moment since Trump heavily hinted she be PM, and she isn't.

If that's true, then I guess that will make him one of the four guys spotted in that spoiler. I'm still wondering which guys will be left. The spoiler said one of them was short, so I agree with those who think it might be Lenny. As for the Middle Eastern looking guy, it could be Michael, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's Tarek instead.
Personally, I think the last four guys standing will be Tarek, Lenny, Lee, and Sean. But I could be wrong.

I'm not sure which spoiler is being discussed: the sighting of Trump giving instructions to 10 candidates (6 women, 4 men) or the sighting of a team at WalMarts. I think it's the sighting of the 10 candidates: based on the lineup of sponsors in the early press release, the Walmart's task is much later, and there's probably only 6 or 7 candidates left by then. The men I recall having a description of at Walmarts are a short young guy, an Asian guy, and maybe a tall blonde-haired guy, but since we're already down to 12(?) candidates, and since there was also a spotting of a cute blonde woman, an Asian woman, a "Spanish" woman and a red-haired woman, there's no way they could all be candidates unless some of the firees have returned to help out.
I'm pretty much unimpressed by Tarek--maybe "anti-impressed" is a better term--and the attitude he displays in the Yahoo! preview video for tonight's episode has only underscored that. Yet for some reason, Trump is keeping him around.
Maybe he's one of the four men sighted in the scene above: the observer only noted that one of the men was tall and "Middle-Eastern looking," which would not be Tarek because he's average height, at best, and one man was shorter and wearing glasses (which might be sunglasses). Now that Dan's gone, the shorter man might be Lenny or Tarek.
ETA: Preview blurb for the April 17th episode from
NBCUMV.COMEpisode No.508 - "A Slice Of Heaven""
"A Slice of Heaven"
The ten remaining candidates launch a new pizza sandwich for a major convenience retailer. One candidate volunteers to switch sides to help out a losing team. Another candidate attempts to make the biggest sale imaginable. The winners jet out of town to dine with a U.S. Senator while the losers get grilled in the boardroom.
Okay, the sighting of ten candidates is for the 7-11 task. I don't wanna know what the "biggest sale imaginable" could be: maybe a slice of pizza for $1,000,000? As far as dining with a senator, how oddly appropriate: "Little corporate weasels, meet a big political weasel . . . "

I think that's for their new "Pizza Twister" (think that's what it's called), cooked on the same grills they use for hot dogs and other finger foods at 7-11. It's supposed to be stuffed pizza inside twisted bread I believe.

Michael has to be the PM for Synergy next week. I thought this would be the team with the negative teammate, but Andrea is the most negative, and they're close. Then again, Sean seemed angry in the preview, so maybe he's the negative teammate who clashes with Michael. Or does that mean he's the PM who comes up with an idea but can't stick with it, and Sean was angry because Michael couldn't stick to a decision?
Leslie or Lenny will be PM for Gold Rush - will they deal with the negative teammate? Or will they have the PM who can't stick to a decision? Lenny would stick to a decision. Leslie, maybe not. Gold Rush could also have the negative teammate in Tarek, since he is now even more of an outcast.
Hard to say.

"One candidate volunteers to switch sides to help out a losing team."
This means that GoldRush must lose the next task. If Sinergy loses, the teams will be even at 5 a side, but if GoldRush loses, it will be 6 against 4. Also, if the final 10 spoiler is correct, then one of the firees in the next episode must be Lenny, Lee or Tarek.
DanHDan
Apr 4, 2006 @ 6:44 am
You're right. I wonder if Andrea switches sides. She seems to be at odds with some of her current teammates, and she would love to run roughshod over a brand new team. Allie is the only other one I can imagine switching sides, because she seems very ambitious.
They're waiting a long time this season for a reshuffle, aren't they? I think season 3's reshuffle was in episode eight, and it looks like the reshuffle this season at the earliest will be episode nine.
Who would try to make the biggest sale imaginable? Tarek? Lenny?
Lenny is in line to be PM next (Lenny or Leslie); if he loses, I'd be surprised if Trump didn't fire him, unless he finally has enough of Tarek. I guess it depends on how desperate he is to get rid of Tarek while he has a chance.

I think it's Lee.
There is another Jewish Holiday that came up during filming (Sukkoth), and if you remember what Theresa said about Lee missing two tasks, that means unless he worked during Sukkoth, he would have to be "fired" on the next task given that likely was filmed October 16-18.

The signs sure do point to another Gold Rush loss, which is the only conceivable event that would precipitate a team reshuffling (minus a mass firing of more than two Synergy members). Up to now, the numbers on each side have stayed fairly balanced, so there's been no real reason for a switcheroo. And if there's six women and four men, it would make more sense for a woman from Synergy to move to Gold Rush. I doubt it will be Allie, since she'll want to stay on the same team as Sean (or that's what I think). Roxanne might volunteer to switch in order to get away from Andrea. Of course, she's also flirty with Sean but based on her comments about "Sean and the women," she was fairly realistic about the situation, unlike Allie, who seems more goo-goo-eyed over Sean.
Now if a man from Synergy is the volunteer (less likely), then that will probably be Sean, since Michael must be the PM of Synergy for the next task, and if he wins, he'll have less motivation to move. Unless he's the PM who butts heads with a teammate (Andrea), and thus he could be eager to get away from her too. At times, he has seemed uncomfortable on Synergy, as in last night's task. Or it could be Andrea, for the reasons cited by DanHDan. Hard to say, really. But I see Roxanne or Andrea as the most likely candidates for a move to Gold Rush.
As to who will be PM of Gold Rush, I would guess Lenny, who then butts heads with Tarek, but I'm a little doubtful. Some of the preview scenes suggested that he is leading the team, but that means that Michael is the PM who nails the concept but is indecisive. Michael doesn't seem indecisive to me; of course, he's been so quiet that maybe he is prone to indecisiveness, or over-thinking a task, and I'd never catch a hint. I could see Leslie as the indecisive PM. Of course, she'd certainly butt heads with Tarek, especially since he will not be able to dominate the task as he did when Dan and Bryce were PMs, so maybe it's Michael (as the indecisive concept-nailer) and Leslie (as the PM who butts heads with a teammate).

Lenny knows how to keep his mouth shut in the boardroom. Tarek doesn't, and could easily hang himself.

Orthodox Apprentice is reporting that Lee is not fired in Episode #7. Tarek is not fired in Episodes # 7, 8, and 9. (*jumps for joy* I can actually look forward to Monday nights now and relax for a few weeks! Whoo! ;) On that note, Tarek has a book coming out early next year. He kinda DOES have to do well in this show, not to be laughed at. I mean, who would buy a book from a 'loser' or early firee (i.e. Summer)? They surely couldn't teach us that much and/or wouldn't be mainstream or well-recognized enough by the average viewer. Not to mention a publisher probably wouldn't take the chances by giving them a contract. We'll see, I guess. Also, Tarek does well, or something like that, according to Trump, remember? If he continues his great teamwork, as shown in the jingle task, then maybe this is his redemption storyline that'll get him to the F4 or beyond (or, at least, close to it). IMO, for DT to say he does well, I think he has to win as PM, so I'm guessing that's still to come)
Given what has already been said about GR most likely being the "losing team" as previewed in the 7-11 task's episode preview blurb, along with previous spoilers, I'm guessing it's a good indication that Lenny will be fired. It seems that he's the PM, so maybe his time has come. Just when it looked like he was getting along with his other teammates, too.

From NBCUMV.com:
IT'S TWICE THE TRUMP FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY WITH BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES OF NBC'S "THE APPRENTICE" MONDAY, APRIL 10, 9-11 PM ET/PT. In the first hour, Gold Rush tries to nail down a win when Lenny volunteers to be the project manager, hoping to prove to The Donald that he can lead the team to victory - but he is troubled with managing a negative teammate (Monday, April 10, 9-10 p.m. ET/PT). Michael, the project manager for Synergy, has a good concept, but drives his team crazy. The winners help make a child's dream come true by partnering with the "Make A Wish Foundation," while the losers face a hammering in the boardroom.
In the second all-new episode of "The Apprentice," the remaining candidates launch a new pizza sandwich for 7-Eleven, one candidate volunteers to switch sides to help out a losing team, while the team tries to make the biggest sale imaginable (Monday, April 10th, 10-11 p.m. ET/PT). The winners jet out of town to dine with U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, while the losers get grilled in the boardroom.
Looks like we got two episodes on our hands. I wonder who switches sides from Synergy?

Tarek is not fired in Episodes # 7, 8, and 9.
I sincerely hope that Tarek finds
some way to turn it around, because I am hella sick of Trump bashing him, week after week, and yet still keeping him around. That being said, even assuming that Tarek makes it to the final eight (or less, if there is a double- or triple-cobra looming), I hope that he does not make it to the final two, because it would make for the least suspenseful finale ever. I mean, can anyone in a million effing years picture Trump saying "Tarek, you're hired" after the lambasting he's been given?
It seems clear that GR will lose again, hence the team-switching in ep 2 this week. It seems just as clear that if Lenny is the PM, that will be his third strike, and he will be out. As for the team-switching, I also agree that it will be a woman switching, just to make the teams even (3 women, 2 men on each). It would be a real feather in someone's cap if she could PM both teams to victory, as I don't know if that's ever happened yet. To that end, it could be Allie, Andrea or Roxanne, who all won as PM. And even Tammy, who lost, but still "did okay" according to Trump, could switch.
Roxanne is the only one I can see volunteering to do it to "help out." Andrea's a possibility but it would be done in a condescending way, plus I don't think she'd take herself off a consistently winning team.
I can totally grok that. If Roxanne, who has shown that she can be a good leader, a good follower, as well as a calm, level-headed, non-confrontational candidate, can lead GR to victory in a future task, she will definitely cement herself as possibly the favorite to win.

Time to re-assess the Wal-Mart spoiler posted from before:
Okay A friend of mine in New York City and said he went to Walmart or Kmart forgot which one two weeks ago to get a CD. Anyways he claimed that there were camera crews there and 9 people (6 women, 3 men) trying to get people to buy Electronics.
Here are the descriptions.
A blonde girl in her early to mid 20's who was very pretty had nice legs and nice rack (His words). Was called "Jen" or something along those lines. (Allie)
A Spanish lady probably in her 30's who was yelling at the others. (Tammy or Leslie)
An Asian in her mid 20's cute. (Charmaine)
A Red Hair woman in her 30's (Andrea)
Two brunettes one in her late 20's the other looked busted. (Leslie (Tammy) and Roxanne?)
An Asian man (Michael)
A dark hair younger man who looked like he was 20 and was about 5'6" (Lee)
A tall blonde hair guy. Younger looking. (Tarek? Sean?)
Some side notes he caught onto:
the blonde was really flirty but was getting people to buy things still.
Spanish lady didn't seem to like the blonde to much but was yelling and telling people want to do.
Red head just kind of stood there.
Asian girl (no joke) was talking about Hello Kitty with younger kids.
The Asian guy looked as if he was trying to sell the game systems but not doing to well.
The shorter guy focused on games.
Brunettes were DVD Players and CD/MP3 Players.
Blonde guy didn't get any feedback on.
He thinks that the teams were chosen b/c he thought he heard the blonde girl tell the short guy "If she doesn't like me then why she pick me." but it could mean anything.
I don't know if this is the new cast or if its another reality show but its worth posting.
Since we have a spoiler indicating Tarek makes it to week 9, I am assuming that Wal-Mart task is that week and the "blonde" guy is either Tarek, Sean, or a Wal-mart worker. Something tells me that Synergy loses the 7-11 task and Sean is fired somehow.

ghettofabman
Apr 7, 2006 @ 2:09 pm
Sean isn't quite blonde, either. Now that doesn't make any sense....unless this is the task for final 8. Now is the time to rearrange the task lineups:
March 27 Norwegian Cruise Line
April 3 Arby's
April 10 Ace Hardware
April 17 7-11
April 24 Ameriquest Mortgage Company
May 1 Hair Cuttery
May 8 Outback Steakhouse
May 15 Wal-Mart (or Wal-Mart and Xbox combined?)
May 22 Xbox (if not with Wal-mart) or Embassy Suites
May 29 Embassy Suites or Pontiac
June 5 Pontiac or interviews or recap show?
This is from upthread untouched. Now if June 5th is the finale episode, then that would mean:
5. March 27 ~ Norwegian Cruise Line (Dan fired, 12 remain)
6. April 3 ~ Arby's (Bryce fired, 11 remain)
7. April 10 ~ Ace Hardware (Lenny fired, 10 remain) - (Orthodox Apprentice) Lee survives at least to this point
8. April 10 ~ 7-11 (A guy is fired, 9 remain)
April 17 ~ (NO SHOW)
9. April 24 ~ Ameriquest Mortgage Company (One fired, 8 remain) - (Orthodox Apprentice) Tarek survives at least to this point
10. May 1 ~ Hair Cuttery (1 fired, 7 remain)
11. May 8 ~ Outback Steakhouse (1 fired, 6 remain)
12. May 15 ~ Wal-Mart and Xbox combined (1 fired, 5 remain)
13. May 22 ~ Embassy Suites (1 fired, 4 remain)
14. May 29 ~ Pontiac (2 fired, Final 2 revealed) and Final Task Part 1
15. June 5 ~Final Task Part 2 and Live Finale (5th Apprentice crowned)
Something tells me that the recap episode will air before one of the regular episodes in mid-May (probably before the May 15th episode).

Yeah, that's defintley Allie. She defintley strikes me as a flirty type.
I am curious about the blonde guy. Maybe Tarek colors his hair, in hopes that Trump won't be able to recognize him anymore. Ever that or he (or Sean) lost a bet.
And if the spoilers are true, it looks like Michael might be in trouble. Personally, I can't wait to see Charmaine selling Hello, Kitty to the kids.

Maybe Walmart/X-Box task comes after the 7-11 task? Iono.

Apr 7, 2006 @ 4:17 pm
I've been turning that over in my mind, ghettofabman, since I first saw the list of sponsors. It's been on the mark so far--only the Ace Hardware task was left out. One thing's for certain, if the lineup of sponsors correctly indicates the order of tasks, then there's too many people in the Walmart sighting for all of them to be active candidates. Here's a couple of possibilities that have come up:
1. The other people sighted at Walmart's are temps.
2. The other people sighted at Walmart's are regular Walmart employees.
3. The other people sighted are returned firees who've returned to help out with the task.

I've got a hunch that the so-called "tall blonde hair guy" is actually Leslie. When I saw her stand next to the other candidates, she seemed to be rather tall in comparison. I checked Sean's height and Tarek's height and neither one of them meets her height well enough. Perhaps the inside source has mistaken her for a man. None of the remaining male candidates are blonde. If there were 6 women and 3 men left at that time, then something wouldn't really add up with the description of the 9 surviving candidates.

Something else is bothering me about this Walmart task ... Why would BOTH teams be performing a task in the SAME store at the same time? Wouldn't we just have the members of one team in a single store?

People don't take off work for Sukkot or Simchat Torah, which will both occur during filming. At worst he will go to Temple for a couple of hours.
Anyone Orthodox most certainly would take off for Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
