The Apprentice

The Razor's Edge

Season 5, Episode 2, Aired 3/6/06

Episode Summary

The Donald presents the next task to the candidates: promote a new razor by getting New Yorkers to send text messages to a phone number. Under the supervision of Bill Rancic and newcomer Ivanka Trump, Trump's daughter, Synergy Corporation fumbles with any sense of advertising scheme, and when it comes to location, they pick an unpopulated area that not many people go to. Gold Rush, however, does quite well despite struggling with leader Lee, who is whipped into shape by Lenny. In the end, Gold Rush trumps Sunergy, and in the boardroom, Project Manager Pepi, as well as the rest of the team, blames the loss on the obnoxiously different Brent. Pepi brings Brent, Stacy, and Michael back into the boardroom, but ultimately, the boss decides to keep Brent around for another week and fires both Stacy and Pepi.moreless

"Great"

By IssaAkbar, Sep 28, 2006 Report Abuse

Seems every series of 'The Apprentice' has some dorky oddball, seems Brent fits the bill in this series. Yeah, he can be disruptive, but as the Donald said, a good manager has to be able to manage these things. He was also right about Stacy, if she cannot handle Brent, then what sort of a DA is she! She seemed to revel in describing the incident with Brent, think it was right that she went, think she might have been more trouble in the long run (reminds me of my old boss and Amorossa!). Can not believe Pepi let his team sleep in and miss the morning commuter traffic! Lots of silly mistakes in these last 2 episodes, lift your game guys!moreless

Stacy really pissed me off.
She kept changing her story. Brent was not harassing her. She works with criminals.
I doubt that Brent is the worse thing shes dealt with.
She also picked that crappy location. Their team would have done way better if they were in a better location.
Pepi didn't do a terrible job as a manager but he could have done better.

this was pretty good, notgreat to much time was spent trying to vilafy Brent, Lenny is a great player, Lee owes him a debt of gratitude, not as much hostility was shown to Tarek as I thought there would be.. Pepi was a Awful leader, and deserved to go, as weird as Brent is, I am glad he wasn't fired, his bizarre antic probably got them most of the few Texts they got.. Cheering for Lenny, would like to see more of Seanmoreless

"Mediocre"

By tiredoldguy, Mar 09, 2006 Report Abuse

Come on, the big release for Fusion was the SuperBowl.

Other then Brent being Brent, and meeting Trump's daughter, this was a stupid challenge.

There was no real thought shown on this project at all. It came down to one team beating the other out the door, and being smarter in location choice.

I remember one challange wher the group wanted to create a "BUZZ" and brought in a local BallPlayer while the team heald a Circus!

Wow, what happend to this show? Where has all of the creativity gone?moreless

"Perfect"

It was extremely interesting that he decided to fire two people. It was a definite yes for Stacy, but I didn't expect Pepi to be the other one. I thought it might have been Micheal. Blaming Brent for everything was a terrible mistake that probably didn't "Synergize" the team. All in all, it was very moving.
