The Apprentice: Three Left-Alex Goes
Published May 01, 2005
Also, The Donald was absolutely correct for chastising Alex and Tanna for their lame-brained trip to the outer boroughs of Manhattan in search of just the right sized rhinestones that would have the stones to fit the machine. As if their were no rhinestones in NY City. In the end Tanna ended up gluing the rhinestones to the T-shirts anyway.
I was convinced that Tanna would meet her Maker during that boardroom trip as she was the team leader AND she was too bedazzled to see the forest for the trees.
But Alex made a fatal mistake. I knew it when I saw it and so did The Donald. Alex lied about how many times he was project manager for a losing task.
I saw Alex's eyes dart quickly away from the questioner, in this case The Donald. A sign of a liar. Another realization came upon me. Alex is no leader. In addition, he is the sort of fellow whose major defense against his lack of leadership is...to lie.
We all know this sort of person in our work lives. Unimaginative types who avoid decisions that would fall upon them. Somehow these types manage to work their way to the tip of their Peter Principle and only by constant lying do they hang on.
The Donald didn't take kindly to the lying although Alex denied it every which way as a simple mistake. Methinks The Donald has met a few of these liars in his life from time to time.
I didn't believe Alex for a minute when he whined his response of having lost only "one" task as project manager was an innocent calculation error. In the span of less than five seconds Alex assessed the correct answer, which was two losing tasks as project manager, considered that maybe The Donald didn't know the answer else why ask, then decided to throw out the wrong answer in hopes that it would fly.
So Tanna is safe for another week. She's walking on dangerous ground however, in that Carolyn told The Donald that she could never see Tanna as working for him. Hey, if Carolyn doesn't like Tanna then she's got a major obstacle to eventual victory.
My predictions as of now:
3-Craig
2-Tanna
1-Kendra

T3H BEDAZZLAH!!!
Tanna was soooooo actin' like a dumbass when she wanted to go to that island place-thingy(forgot name). I think that Tanna's weird ass should be kicked to the f***ing curb.
