I've Got No Choice

If Survivor wasn't on right before The Apprentice, I probably would have stopped watching it a couple of weeks ago. In terms of The Apprentice tonight, I agreed with the double-firing. While I sympathise to an extent with the position Wes was in, he arguably lost the challenge when he sent Kelly over to the other team. Getting rid of one of your stronger players just didn't make any sense and ultimately led to his team's downfall. Particularly given that if he'd sent Maria to the other team, her combined with Ivana (who to her credit probably had her strongest performance yet this episode) would have made an already internally divided team more so by having two strongly disruptive influences. Both of them deserved to get fired, and it just made sense to do it at once (there's been a few people that have been able to hang around by virtue of other people making worse mistakes, so it's good to see Trump not wasting time by letting people hand around unnecessarily). I think the team aspect of the show, while being good in that it forces people to work together, also has the unfortunate side effect of allowing more mediocre players to stick around by virtue of their team winning. I also thought that one of the funnier moments of the show was when Maria and Wes had to take the same cab. That and when Trump told Sandy she should call Bill "Mr. Rancic" (come on, they call the others "George" and "Carolyn". What makes Bill so special).
