Well, this episode was a bit better than the previous three, but the show has a whole lot of saving itself yet to do. I won't go over my issues with the season again, but they mostly remain the same. One thing I keep forgetting to mention that grates me about this season is the lack of the little business tips. I used to be able to figure out which team would lose simply by watching the tip. Now I figure out which team will lose because one always seems to screw up royally. It's not as much fun for me to do it that way.
One redeeming factor in tonight's episode was the lack of Trumpette and/or Trumpling — Ivanka and Donald, Jr. Instead, last season's winner, Sean Yazbeck, visited the task and later joined in at the boardroom. Good. I'd rather see him than a Trump progeny any day. Well, they could use Baron, I guess. "Who should be fired?" "Googoo." That would be about as good as the elder Trumps and much cuter.
The show started off with Arrow celebrating the fact that since Michelle quit, they wouldn't face the boardroom and another firing. In the celebration somehow the topic of Cheez Doodles came up. Like Frank (and I never thought we'd have anything in common), I was shocked that someone doesn't know what Cheez Doodles are. I know them all too well.
Trump had a little conference call with both project managers, once again lecturing about how quitters are losers. Of course, Michelle would have lost anyway. I still give her kudos for quitting this fiasco of a season. Then he asked for a volunteer to give the constantly losing Arrow team. Heidi offered herself, Surya, and Amy. Trump decided only Surya would go. Frank mugged, er, hugged him very energetically under the glow of the night vision cameras. Poor Surya.
I think Surya was a bit off-putting to the Arrow team when he droned on and on from a list of business rules. Even though they've been losing, he's no expert. In my opinion, he's been a bit on the sidelines of Kinetic and didn't play a huge role in any of their wins so far.

I've been under the weather the last two days, hence the delayed reaction. HOWEVER, this woman (Merissa)as were all of the past contestents was ripped off. Editing (as I read elsewhere)seems to be in reverse. Some one gets fired and they edit the show to that end. I could tell from jump street who was a gonner 10 mins into it. The cutting room floor has footage of Arrow's "CHICKEN SUITED" promotional character. A great idea that was shotdown by Heidi the apprentice 6 Castro dictator for life PM". Seems like "marketing" means getting people in to the freakin MARKET. Ala, ummmm Ronald Mcdonald, The big headed BK king, even the freakin Geico "caveman" sells the product. If ya gotta "sell this sandwitch", then SELL the GD sandwitch! BTW. are there other candidates in this show? waddup with Mrs olympiad? flying under the radar can get you hit by ground fire.
