After Hydra achieved multiple wins Donald Trump decides to shuffle the teams, and seemingly on a whim leaves Omorosa and Piers on the same team. The new Hydra consists of those two along with Lennox Lewis and Carol Alt, with Piers as the PM. Trace became Empressario's PM with Steven, Marilu, and Tito on his team. The project was selling horse carriage rides in NYC's Central Park. Everyone recognized right away that this project was essentially identical to the hot dog selling project earlier in the contest; a straight case of using celebrity power to sell high-dollar rides and raise big money. Piers started out by proposing that Omorosa and he agree to work together and not fight for the duration of the project; she agreed, and they shook hands. He then came out and said that if they lose, the person who was going into the boardroom with him was going to be the one who raised the least money. This was a strategy on his part to get rid of Omorosa because he knew that she didn't have the high-dollar contacts that he, Carol and Lennox had. Everyone on both teams began making phone calls to get celebrities to show up and make donations, and Piers seemed secretly please with the difficulties that Omorosa was having getting pledges. On the day of the event, Hydra was riding to the Park and Omorosa was handling the paperwork. She gave it to Piers to check and he noticed that she had misspelled his name "Pierce". He mentioned it to her and she apologized and said she would get it fixed. This is where things began to fall apart. Piers proceeded to get catty about it, saying things like "What kind of person spells their boss's name wrong?" and similar comments. Omorosa said that he wasn't her boss, Mr. Trump was. When Piers reiterated that HE was her boss, she said "Enough" and threw the papers in his face. He then declared her 'fired' and off the project - and the fight was on. I was surprised at how profane and downright evil Omorosa got in her argument with Piers, but she had apparently recognized his plan to get rid of her and decided to make him as miserable as she could.
Lennox Lewis later commented that being in the ring boxing with Mike Tyson was easier than being in that car with Omorosa and Piers. When the car arrived at the Park it didn't get any easier though, because Omorosa had taken off the gloves and was letting Piers have it with both barrels every chance she saw. He wanted nothing more than to get away from her, but she wasn't going to let that happen either. Lennox, Carol and Piers continued to struggle along raising money and Omorosa appeared to be doing the bookkeeping, but the fighting was truly horrendous.
Meanwhile, Empressario was having an absolutely wonderful day with everyone getting along, pledges showing up, and enjoying the weather. They actually seemed to get along better than any team previously on the show, a fact that I see as the direct cause of what happened in the boardroom later. In the boardroom Omorosa looked like a cat that ate a canary, satisfied that she had at least ruined Piers' day. Piers looked very stressed, and started out saying that he would never work with Omorosa again, no matter what. He then complained that she had said horrible things about his family. She replied that she had said things about him, not his family, and that he should stop whining. Technically, I suppose she was correct because she had said that his boys were ashamed of him, and how did he feel about having another man raise his sons, but she had never actually said anything directly critical of his family. The others in the boardroom were either astounded or amused, depending on whether or not they had run afoul of Piers before. Nobody seemed particularly inclined to come to his defense though, with Steven Baldwin commenting that Piers after encountering Omorosa sounded just like Steven did after encountering Piers. What happened next was a truly astounding shock to everyone in the boardroom. The announced the results, and Hydra WON!!! This made Omorosa's victory complete because Piers was miserable and she could not now be fired. Hydra went off to celebrate a truly hollow victory, and Empressario remained to have someone fired. This led to the second shock of the episode.
As Trump questioned the members of Empressario to find the weak link, it became obvious that there wasn't one. No one could find anything to criticize about anyone on the team; not even Trump's representatives. Their loss appeared to be a fluke. Everyone commented that they were glad to not be in Trump's shoes. Finally, Donald Trump made a decision that was a first in Apprentice history; he fired NO ONE! As I watched this episode I realized that the conflict between Piers and Omorosa is the big draws to this show. When either one of them gets fired the ratings of the show will drop significantly, and I think that Trump knows this. Watch how long the two of them last...moreless
AIRED:
The two teams sell rides on a horse and buggy business in Central Park. While Empresario worked exceptionally well together, Hydra seemed to go completely into self-destruct mode . . . and still shockingly made more money for the win. All proceeds went to Project Manager Piers's charity. Empresario went to the boardroom, where no one was fired, a first for Apprentice history.moreless

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES-
International Air Dates:
Norway: Thursday, July 22, 2010 on TVNorge -
Project Manager Trace isn't asked whom he'll bring into the boardroom over Empresario's surprising loss. Because Trump found no one on the team more or less responsible for the loss, he opted to fire no one. This was the first-ever non-firing week in the history of the show.
-
The Project Managers in this episode are Trace for Empresario and Piers for Hydra. Much to the chagrin of Trump, Ivanka, and George, Piers's team wins.
-
At the beginning of this episode, Trump calls the celebrity candidates into the boardroom to reshuffle the teams after Empresario's continuous losses. He places Tito, Marilu, Trace, and Stephen on the new Empresario, and Lennox, Carol, Omarosa, and Piers on the new Hydra.
