The Apprentice (2004–2017): Season 1, Episode 12 - Circus, Circus - full transcript
[Trump]
Previously on The Apprentice,
the candidates were challenged
to manage a fleet of rickshaws,
and Amy came up with
a breakthrough idea for Versacorp.
We could advertise
on the back of the rickshaw.
[Bill]
Now we're thinking, guys.
[Trump] But Katrina was unhappy that
her ideas weren't being taken seriously.
I'm successful for a reason, and
it's not solely because of my looks.
Every idea I came up with, you tossed.
I'm sick and tired of it
[Bill] The bottom line is this:
Katrina doesn't like the way I lead.
My advice to her is step aside, then.
[Trump]
Protégé's sales were slow.
Pedicab rides.
And Heidi's head
just wasn't in the game.
You guys interested in Manhattan Rickshaw Company?
No? You don't want a ride?
[ Beeps ] Damn it!
I can't win today.
It's just exhausting, you know? You're working
seven days a week. You don't get a day off.
[Trump] And Protégé hit rock bottom
when they made a shocking discovery.
[ Heidi]
What"s that, you guys?
[Troy] We'd seen the other
team's rickshaw go by,
and 1 said, “By God, they might've sold
advertising on the back of their rickshaws.”
That's a great idea.
[Trump] Versacorp's advertising
idea led to a victory...
and to some private time
for Nick and Amy.
You're always staring off into space,
and I'm wondering what you"re thinking.
You wonder what I'm thinking about.
And I'm intimidated.
Intimidated? I think so.
I 'am a little.
1 think Amy thinks she's playing Nick,
but I think in the end, Nick'lf win.
[Trump]
Protégé's loss led them to the boardroom,
where they quickly felt the heat
for their lack of ideas.
So you were badly beaten.
You want to be president of one of my companies?
And Carolyn called out Heidi
for not stepping up.
Heidi, in the time that we've been here,
I have yet to really see anything out of you.
You're entitled to your opinion.
I don't agree.
But everybody has said that Troy
is a good leader, including you.
- Well, heis a good leader.
- And nobody's said that about you.
In this event, you wouldn't
step up as a leader,
and you barely contributed
as a follower.
Heidi, you're fired.
[Trump] Six candidates are left.
Who will be fired this week?

Moment of truth, guys.
Who do you think?
- Heidi.
- Nick?
- Heidi.
- Heidi.
- Troy? Heidi?
- Tee-roy!
[ Laughs]
Gettin' through the woods, baby!
You're somethin', man.
Congrats.
[Kwame ]
It didn't get hot after I left, did it?
[Troy] Almost. Donald T.'s up, and he just
goes, “The other team just slaughtered you.”
I go, “Absolutely. I'm not arguing that.
Ultimately, though, this is a job interview.
Only one person gets the job.
Everybody sucks, and I'm the best.”
[All Laughing ] [Amy] Here it
comes, baby!
[ Laughs]
[ Phone Ringing ]
- Good morning.
- Hi. It's Rhona upstairs in Mr. Trump's office.
He asked me to call you and
have you meet him downstairs...
in the lobby by the waterfall
in an hour.
Okay. Thank you.
- Good morning.
- [ Both ] Good morning.
The first thing I want to do
is introduce Mark Brown.
My advisor, George,
ls on another important business trip,
so Mark Brown is taking his place.
Mark runs my hotels in Atlantic City.
He's tough,
so he's gonna be representing me
on this event.
The first thing we have to do
ls even out the teams.
'Cause we had a winning team
and, unfortunately--
A losing.
You two guys, always.
Who are you gonna choose
to be on your side?
We're gonna choose Bill
to be on our side.
Good. Go ahead, Bill.
Good luck.
[ Indistinct ]
- So why didn't you choose Amy?
- Amy's got enough kudos as it is.
'M glad you finally chose
somebody else.
Now, when I built Trump Tower,
I said, “I want to build
the greatest building in the world.”
And I also wanted it to be
a huge attraction...
to draw people in
and spend lots of money.
So what I did is I constructed
a waterfall...
that's six stories tall...
that's gotten the best architectural reviews,
probably, of anything I've ever done.
People come from all over the world
to visit Trump Tower...
and to see the waterfall,
and all of the shops
and restaurants benefit.
Now, the Trump Taj Mahal
is the number one hotel in Atlantic City.
I've always felt that the Trump Taj Mahal
should do even better.
What I want you to do
ls go to Atlantic City...
with Carolyn and Mark and
come up with a promotional idea...
that will bring in and register gamblers
at the Trump Taj Mahal.
Your promotion will run
from 10:00 tomorrow morning...
until 10:00 tomorrow night.
The winning team is the one
whose registered gamblers...
actually spend the most money
in the casino.
The losing team will report back to me
at the boardroom...
where someone will be fired.
I've arranged for a bus
to take everyone to Atlantic City.
Good luck at the Taj Mahal.
Good luck in Atlantic City. Thank you.
Thank you.
Off to Atlantic City.
[Katrina ] Amy is our project manager.
[ really want to see her prove...
that she deserves
the attention that she's getting.
Just you and the girls, Nick.
Oh, my God.
[ Laughs]
[Katrina ] Considering the fact that Nick
and Amy have some kind of love affair,
[ really don't need to be
buddy-buddies with anybody.
As long as I do a good job,
that's all that counts.
Welcome back aboard.
[ Chuckles ]
I'm shocked that they picked me,
because Troy and /..
Do not have compatible styles,
in my opinion.
In fact, we're exact opposites.
Frankly, 'm not exactly fond
of the way he does business.
It's very nice to meet you.
[ Driver] Six people. It's a big bus.
That's concerning.
Maybe we say everybody independently
brainstorm for 15 to 20 minutes,
and we'll start talking
about some revenue stuff.
[Kwame ] As project manager,
my management style...
is to have great people, tell them what
to do, get the hell out of their way.
That's why we picked Bill. My leadership
style works with people like Bill and Troy...
because you just give 'em a mission,
give 'em a road map and they'll get it done.
What's your schedule
look like this afternoon?
If Teresa could join us there,
that would be great.
We have an appointment.
[Troy] The whole time on the bus,
we're just talking strategies, game plans,
we're making appointments.
- Okay. Thanks, Steve. Bye.
- Good.
Good job, guy. Good job.
I look up at the other team--
And they're all sleeping.
Every single one of 'em are sleeping,
like this is a tour-guided bus.
This is a job interview.
It's down to six of us!
Somebody better rise to the top.
Yeah, arrived in Atlantic City
at the Trump Taj Mahal...
- and were greeted by Mark Brown.
- Welcome. The trip was good?
- The trip was very good.
- Good. Let's go.
Oh, my goodness.
This place is amazing.
There's everything
you can think of here.
What the customer always wants
is to have a great time...
"cause this is entertainment,
but your job is to bring in
and register gamblers...
that hopefully will spend
lots of money.
[Bill] How many gaming
positions do you have?
Gaming positions?
We have 4,600 slot machines--
The game was not gonna be
won or lost on volume.
It was gonna be won or lost
on the quality of player...
that you brought through.
In order for us to bring home a victory,
we need to bring in the big money players.
1 think we'll need some kind
of really big, dynamic height.
What about belly dancers?
Something big. A tiger or--
You could have a boat.
If you have some kind of car--
I always walk towards those things 'cause
I want to know exactly what's going on.
I brought up serious ideas,
but it was pretty evident...
that Amy thought
that I was being delirious.
We can pay
for a weekend car rental..
Of a luxury vehicle of choice.
[Katrina ] Amy's plan is to
have a $300 rental giveaway.
[Amy] They just come
over, fill out their name,
and at 10:00 p.m.,
we have a raffle giveaway.
Amy shot my ideas down
with regard to the promotion.
So / think Amy needs to be
held responsible if this team fails.
You have to have something
that attracts attention.
Nice to meet you. One of the people
that we fad called was a carpenter.
I'd ask him, “What is the grandest
idea that you've ever built?”
He said, “A wheel.”
Somewhere in this big building
there's gotta be a used wheel,
and I want to refurbish it.
We're hooked up with the right guy!
Oh, yes. We've found
the wheel of my dreams.
We've saved ourselves time.
We've saved ourselves money. It's just awesome.
It's just the wheel of our dreams,
and it's ready to go.
[ Laughing ] They're gonna
be very happy with me, boss.
[Man] Hi. How are you doing?
[Amy] Are you Bob?
Yes. So, you guys want a car, huh?
Come on over.
I had prenegotiated the deal
with the Chrysler dealership.
Over the phone, Bob pretty much told me
that he would give us whatever we needed.
You guys are coming to me and less than 24
hours, you want a free car.
Mm-hmm. What kind of car
did you have in mind?
We were thinking of a Crossfire.
Really?
Yeah.
- [ Laughing ]
- Ideally, Id like to give "em a Crossfire,
but you're telling me
that that's not possible.
I don't know that I'm even
gonna give you that car.
[ Laughing ]
Bob! Come on, Bob.
[Amy] [ think that Katrina has
a tendency to use sexuality...
as her prime negotiating tactic.
When it wasn't working for her
at securing our deal,
her strategy was just
to flirt a little more.
I bet when I called today, you didn't think you
would be getting in this much trouble with us, huh?
- No, I didn't.
- [ Chuckling ]
You know what? Turn off the sexual
bull-- [ Beeps ] and let's talk business.
[Bob] Like, what's gonna be in
it as far as the dealership?
Well, basically, we'll--
Go ahead, then.
Ideally, what we'd like to do ls to lure as
many people into the Trump Taj Mahal as we can.
[Katrina ] Amy has a difficult
time letting others take over.
She really needs to be the star
of every transaction.
So what we're hoping
is to promote your dealership...
as kind of a cosponsor
of our event.
So in essence, we'll be your free
marketing staff for 12 hours.
That sounds good. Yeah.
[Troy] Holy goodness!
Do you got a business card?
I had them, but not--
Yeah?
[Kwame ]
Fitz is the 10-year-old wonder kid,
the executive producer
of the Fercos Brothers show.
We followed Donald's advice:
“Go straight to the top.”
Yeah. [Troy] I asked him,
“Fitz, we want to comarket with you.”
We go through a negoti--
I"m talking to a 1 O-year-old Kid,
and I'm negotiating with him!
We want to do a little show
out front in the casino.
Maybe bring out some
of the dancers in costumes.
-1 go, “Oh, soyou're gonna help us?” And he goes--
- Yeah.
So, 1 go, “Can I have the lions and tigers?”
“Yeah!”
[Troy] What a great partnership for all
the hype and all the hoopla behind it,
and we can both benefit from it.
Let me give you advice in life:
Don't sell when it's already sold.
[ Bell Ringing ]
[Troy] Fitz says, “Troy,
whatever you want, you can have.
The only condition is,
I want you guys coming to my show.”
[Kwame ]
I want to go with you.
Can you run solo?
Yeah.
[Bill] Kwame and Troy decided that they
both needed to go see the show tonight.
It's their decision, and,
you know, they gotta live with it.
They're running in a million different
directions, but Kwame's the team leader,
and I don't want
to step on him too much.
All right. I'll-- I'll see
you guys in a bit. Okay.
It really didn't take two of us
to go to the show to pick a tiger.
I actually just wanted
to go along with Troy.
[ Up-tempo]
[Troy] The Fercos Brothers,
these phenomenal magicians,
they're riding
on the back of these lions,
and they're working with these tigers.
The show was just incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
[Bill]
Ah--[ Beeps ] I'm so mad right now.
Taking a two-and-a-half-hour siesta
at the show.
One person could've accomplished that,
without a doubt,
and we have a lot more things
that we need to knock out of the way.
- [ Both Laughing ]
- [Audience Applauding, Cheering ]
See, I make you nervous.
Oh, yeah. Totally.
Totally nervous.
Nick clearly has a crush on me.
I think that he's a great guy.
He's a lot of fun to be around with.
I think he's handsome.
So, do you guys want to share this bed
in here? And I'll sleep in that bed.
So, Nick, where are you sleeping?
- Well--
- [Katrina Laughs ]
- Our mothers would not approve.
[Amy] I don't really know
what I think about Nick.
I don't know where it will go.
Maybe it's time to find out.
[Trump] It's always been
easier for me to think big.
It was always easier for me
to attract the money and the capital...
than it would be if I did a small job someplace that
nobody cared about and nobody wanted to finance.
For instance, I'm building a new
golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
- Frank, how are we doing?
- Good.
[Trump] The site covers over 500
acres, which is huge.
When I'm done, it's going to be one of the
best golf courses anywhere in the world,
All right. Good, smooth stuff. This
topsoil is great. Good and smooth, okay?
In this breeze, in this wind, people
are gonna realize I have my own hair.
They always say,
“Trump-- Does he wear a wig?”
I say, “ll have my own hair.”
At least they'll see it now in the wind.
[ Bell Ringing ]
Our task is to come up with
a promotion...
to bring people into the casino
and spend a lot of money.
Our promotion is basically a game.
Once they come to the game, we provide 'em with a card,
The card we give them keeps track of how
much money they've spent in the casino...
for one day from 10:00 to 10:00.
And the team that gets the customers
to spend the most amount of money wins.
Let me give you one of our coupons
for a free spin today.
We've created this big wheel.
We're gonna be giving away a chance
to win $1,000 cash.
Big promotion today. I'm gonna give you
a free coupon to spin the wheel.
It's 10:00 a.m., and there's
literally a line out the door.
Everybody, welcome to
the Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino.
Step up to the wheel
for a chance to win $1,000.
First spin of the day.
Let's see what he gets.
Fantastic. There's a big spin.
Careful, young man.
[ Contestant ]
Thousand, thousand!
We've got an enter to win
a $1,000 giveaway right there. Fantastic.
Congratulations, sir. Keep one in your
pocket, and put one in the drum.
Our plan is to raffle off a car rental
valued at $300.
Let's go over here, and I'll
walk you through what you're doing.
You want to set down your
jackets and your coats? Sure.
We were focusing on a strategy that would
entice people to come over to our booth.
We thought that we needed manpower
to help recruit people to our location.
So we recruited models.
Do you have to be present to win? No.
Escort them here to make sure that
they stay in line and swipe their card.
Can I get you to come over here and fill
out an entry into our Crossfire giveaway?
Three hundred dollars that you can use to rent a
Chrysler vehicle for the weekend, or take it and run.
You can run away with the car?
You can run away with $300.
Three hundred dollars?
Yeah. Come on over. I'll--
Oh, great.
- And this is a drawing for that car?
- No. It's just $300.
- Oh, okay.
- Aren't they giving away the car?
No, no, no.
They're not giving away the car?
They're giving a rental of the
car for three days. Oh, hell, no.
Hi there. Have you filled
out-- [ Indistinct ] Yeah.
[ Troy On Speaker] One thousand dollars
in cash at the Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino.
And we get a bottle of water for you!
- How are you going? You checking in?
- [Man] Yeah.
All right. Great.
We've got a wheel to win $1,000.
And we have a V.I.P. line that Renee'll walk
you guys to to get a chance to win $1,000 cash.
All right.
Okay. Thanks.
[Bill] We secured exclusive rights to
checking in the V.1.P. and high rollers.
I"m getting a great response
from the people. I'm welcoming them,
and I'm having them personally escorted
from the people from the show.
These are the biggest
money players in the casino.
We're gonna have over a million dollars
of play check in today.
That's the make-or-break scenario
over there-- that V.1.P. line.
1/ hope my teammates can appreciate
the foresight in what I'm doing. I don't know.
If you look at the bell service, there's
asign next to it called V.I.P. suites.
Okay. Yeah. And I'm allowed in there?
Yeah. Absolutely. Good luck.
The other team had a great idea
with the V.I.P. booth.
These guys,
they're gambling big bucks.
Oh, God.
It's like a used car lot.
Someone walks on the lot,
and they get attacked by the vultures.
The other team obviously can't
come up with an original idea,
50 they got the hookers over here
working my customers.
Fair enough. All right.
So I don't want to leave.
I understand.
All right. Cool.
This isn't a used car lot.
We're not selling Toyotas.
This is the Taj Mahal.
We need to act like it.
'I be here. You can go anywhere you
want, but just stay 50 feet away from me.
Okay.
Thank you.
They're being attacked,
and it's just not professional,
Vultures.
They're basically in the same position
we are, so they can't tell you--
- Luck be a lady tonight!
- You could grab anybody from that line and get them to come over here.
Are you sure?
Trust me.
Basically, what they say doesn't matter.
Okay.
Have you come for our drawing yet?
Yes, we did. Thank you.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to go ahead and step on over.
I sure do appreciate it, sweetheart,
but you'll have to step on over there.
But I sure do appreciate it.
We'll have you step on over to your side.
I think we're allowed to go anywhere.
You know what, sweetheart?
I sure do appreciate your opportunity
to help us with our patrons.
Well have you step over there.
But you're lookin' pretty as a peach.
[ Chuckles ] Pretty as a peach.
Thanks.
[Bill] Obviously the other team
ls completely inappropriate.
We're preparing for a full-on war today.
And you do get an opportunity
towina $1,000 giveaway.
Oh, my goodness! Two in a row. We've gotta do something
about that. Here we go. Give it one more spin.
I'm gonna also call and see if
we can get a microphone. Okay.
I wouldn't say that we're taking a hit from the team,
but we recognize the other team has a good strategy...
and we can use microphones
or speakerphones.
Our goal is to join them and hopefully
generate as much traffic or more.
Take a break from the slot machines
for just a second...
while you come on over
and take a look at the 2003 Crossfire.
There's no point, really,
in pulling them off the floor.
As she's screaming
into the casino. Great.
So, on your way back?
[ Chattering Continues ]
Ladies and gentlemen, come on by
as you drop off the escalator...
to see the Chrysler Crossfire.
Simply register your card here
at the Taj Mahal...
and get a chance to win the $1,000.
As you come down the escalators,
take a left.
- I'm gonna and get you a bottle of water.
- Win a $300 gift check.
- Register your card--
- You can use--
[ Both Continue, Indistinct ]
Get a chance to win the $1,000.
Young lady, why don't we have you--
Chrysler Crossfire,
the hottest sports car this year.
[Katrina ] 1 don't think that people screaming
over the microphone attracts people to us.
We're missing something.
I think we need...
shock value,
and we don't have that right now.
[ Tiger Roaring ]
[ Man Shouting, Indistinct ]
S [Fanfare ]
[Troy] I need everybody-- If we can,
we need everybody to step back right now.
Everybody needs to step back behind
the gates. We do have the tiger coming in.
Gentlemen, please direct
your attention to the 2003--
Oh, I can't really beat a tiger.
[Kwame ] The tiger was-- [ Beeps ] phenomenal.
It was a very Donald Trump thing to do.
Like in a basketball game, there's something
demoralizing about dunking on the other team...
and giving em like a full just-- mmm!
When we brought the tiger out,
we dunked on em.
[Troy]
Please step back. Please clear out.
[ Tiger Roars ]
[Bill]
The white tiger caused quite an uproar,
but it also took people
away from the gambling floor.
The people who were looking at the tiger
were not getting their cards swiped.
In fact, it paralyzed their operation.
[Kwame ] We were actually losing V.LP.'s,
'cause V.LP.'s don't want to wait in line.
All'l need is your name and number.
I don't even need your address.
Hey, come over here and swipe your card.
We have a $300 cash giveaway.
Let me swipe that for you.
I think the strategy of bringing a tiger in with
two hours left in the game is a terrible strategy.
They're bringing people over
to stare at a tiger..
Rather than get out
on the floor and gamble.
Even if you're not here for the drawing,
you can still win. Done and done.
Go over here to the right. Look
for the new car with the balloons on it.
We are swarming this entire place.
- You need to wait in this line right here.
- This line over there. Okay.
[ Nick] We just want to get people signed up
and get them in the casino spending money.
You're all signed up.
Thank you.
It's guerrilla marketing at its best,
and I think we're gonna win.
Hi, sir. How are you doin'?
Oh, don't walk so fast.
I need you to fill out a promotion.
S [Fanfare ]
Hello.
[Man]
Hey, Donald Trump, what's up?
How's it going, my man?
[ Chattering ]
Okay, good.
How're you doin', everybody?
[Man] Donald! Donald!
How're we doin', fellas?
One suite tour, ma'am. If you're
interested, head over to the V.I.P. area.
How are you, sir? Hello, Kwame.
How are we doing?
Look who's here to join us.
It's Donald Trump, folks.
- [ All Cheering ]
- Hello, folks.
Come on over here, Troy.
Come on over here, Bill.
- Everybody gonna be here at 10:00 p.m.?
- [Woman ] Yeah.
- Everybody gonna make these guys rich?
- [ Troy ] There you go!
Can we have our applause for Mr. Trump.
All right. Thank you.
- How's Amy doing?
- Hey! How are you doing? Good to see ya!
How are you? How are you?
Good. So, how's it going?
- 1t's going pretty good.
- A lot of people at the Taj Mahal.
- There's a ton of people here tonight.
-1 hear they're doing great. I have to be honest.
Do you want people watching lions,
or do you want 'em gambling?
I want 'em right there.
Absolutely.
Okay, good. She learned
the business pretty quickly, huh?
It's true. How are you?
All yellow ticket holders, report
for your thousand in cold, hard cash.
The crowd is starting to gather.
The Chrysler Crossfire promotional
giveaway is now officially closed.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're waiting
with bated breath for the winner--
- If you're ready, say you're ready.
- [ All Shouting ] We're ready!
All right.
That's what I'm talking about.
Here we go. All yellow ticket holders!
Thank you for participating today.
Draw the lucky person.
And whois it?
[ Crowd Cheering ]
None other than Joan Powers.
Here we go.
Two, three,
zero, nine, three, nine.
- [ All Cheering ]
- Come on over here, ma'am!
[Bill] Way to go, ma'am!
Cold, hard cash!
Unfortunately,
there's no one here right now,
but she will be contacted
within the next 24 hours.
That's pretty much it.
All right! Whoo!
We had just announced
our prize winners on both teams,
and then we headed over
to the blackjack area...
to announce the winner of the task.
[ People Shouting, Cheering ]
Donald! Donald!
Hello, fellas.
Donald!
Donald!
Donald!
How're you doin'?
So, 1 hear you did well.
But, Carolyn, who did better?
I actually have the results for Versacorp.
They brought in a total of 1,337 players,
for total cash revenue of $105,362.
A hundred and five thousand. Not bad.
Mark, how did your group do?
Well, Donald,
Protégé only had 776 patrons.
But because they went after the V.LP.'s
that gambled a lot more money,
Protégé actually pulled in
more money for the casino.
$123,159.
Amy, you finally lost.
And you guys finally won one.
Laughing
You've been losing a little bit, huh?
We won, baby! Yeah!
You mean to tell me that,
Amy, it finally happened?
I'm going to see you in the boardroom.
Okay, fellas, as a reward,
you're staying in the most beautiful
suite you've ever seen,
you're gonna be given $3,000
to gamble at the Taj Mahal,
and you're gonna have a great time.
Thank you very much. You deserve it.
You've had a lot of losses.
And you, in the boardroom.
Somebody's gone.
We're stayin' out all night.
Oh, my God!
We're stayin' out all night, dude.
Oh, God!
I need a cocktail.
Do you know where we're going to sleep?
How are y'all doin'? Fantastic.
Ma'am, how're you doin' tonight?
- Fantastic!
- Victory!
- Yes!
- [Men Cheering ]
[Bill] Penthouse, baby. Say it.
Let me hear you say it.
[Troy] Penthouse, baby!
[ Kwame ] Napoleon Suite.
It's the penthouse!
Oh! Oh, my God!
[Kwame ]
Ridiculous! This is crazy!
1t's not like a suite when you stay
inasuite. It's 3 mansion.
- Oh, pretty nice.
- [All Chattering ]
- [ Bill ] The note's handwritten from D.T.
- “Congratulations.”
[Kwame ]
This is some pimped-out rap video.
- [Beeps ]
- Let's divvy up the C-notes here.
- [ Troy ] A thousand dollars each!
- Mr. Jackson.
You can just call me the mother--
[ Beeps ] P.M. All right?
Do you want a man drink, McClain,
or do you want a girl drink?
- Man me up.
- All right, big boy.
Oh--[ Beeps ]
Bill, Kwame and I, we'd worked all day.
We're slaphappy. We haven't eaten
anything, except for chocolate.
We down our drinks.
We go down to the casino floor.
Victory is sweet.
It tastes so sweet.
- We're the dragon slayers.
- Victory!
I was elated. just couldn't believe it.
1 mean, we just worked our tail off!
We did away with all the fiddle-faddle,
with all the cat fightin'.
My friend Bill is certainly
used to stuff like this. But me--
Holy cow! This boy from Idaho
has never seen anything like it.
Cut that bull--[ Beeps ]
[Bill] Team Protégé is putting
on a happy face right now.
Troy and [ definitely, we're--
we're at opposite ends of the spectrum.
But that's water under the bridge.
We did what we needed to get done.
Go heavy. I got a feeling on this one.
Kwame, hundred!
Let's all go a hundred, all right?
Come on. A hundred a hand.
- Blackjack.
- Yeah!
Booyah! That's what I'm talking about.
[ Indistinct Chattering ]
[ Alarm Clock Beeping ]
[Amy] 1 have a lot of nervous energy,
this being my first time in the boardroom.
If Mr. Trump asks me
who's at fault for the loss,
I think that as project manager that
I have a lot of responsibility to take.
We're down to the wire, and we've got
a lot of qualified candidates.
I hope I can convince him
that I'm the most qualified.
I have to prepare what I"m gonna say.
I don't wanna go in there and look like a fool.
I dreamed about it.
Are you serious?
[ Nick] Amy's at a disadvantage
for not being in a boardroom.
So she could very well get fired,
This is her first time losing.
You don't know how she's gonna perform
in the boardroom with Mr. Trump.
'M nervous.
What's that?
Are your hands gonna sweat?
[Katrina ] There's a high
probability that I may go tonight..
Because of Amy and Nick
and their relationship,
and Trump thinks that Amy's
an unbelievable all-star at this point.
And who's led him to believe that?
All of us.
Good luck, everybody.
[Bill] Good luck.
Here we go again.
So, Amy, how does it feel
to finally be on a losing team?
-1t's tough. -lsn'tit terrible?
Don't you hate to lose?
- I hate to lose.
-1 hate it. Ugh.
I think that where we ultimately lost...
is that our competition had a great
strategy with the V.I.P. booth,
and so they had a handful of big spenders,
and I think that led to their victory.
Then when we tried to do the same thing,
Bill had prenegotiated that-- or whoever did--
- Pretty good, right?
- Oh, it was a great idea.
- Why? Is Bill so outstanding?
- Yeah. Bill's a great player.
- Do you think he's better than you?
-1 think Bill's my toughest competition.
You think Bill is?
And do you agree with that, Nick?
- Do you think Bill is that good?
- He's good.
But you tried to get everybody
from the casino out of the casino--
For what? Coffee or something?
1 don't know. What was that all about?
I think our motivation there was:
Let's get the people that are gambling
on our team and get 'em back out.
But probably 95% of my time
on the microphone was spent..
Actually luring people from the upstairs
to come down the escalator.
- Carolyn?
- I think they definitely had some flaws.
I personally didn't think...
3 $300 value of a rental car
in Atlantic City...
was a draw to keep somebody there
to continue to play.
A promotion is usually
you win a car, not you rent a car.
- I agree with you on that point.
- That's a pretty lousy incentive.
- What do you think, Mark? -1 thought your whole
concept of the car with the black and white balloons--
What is that? You saw the other team.
People were having fun.
They were laughing, spinning
the wheel, having a great time.
They're coming back to the Taj Mahal.
Yours was just like a meat market.
They gave you their name and they're walking away
going, “What was that?” That's not fun.
I wanted to have belly dancers. I wanted to have tigers.
I really wanted to make it a circus.
But you didn't need a circus.
You just needed a car.
See, a circus is cute and it's fun.
It gets attention, but that's it.
Who chose this stupid concept--
of the three?
Was it Nick? Was it you?
Was it you? Who chose?
I came up with the car.
I didn't come up with the idea--
Soit's Nick or Amy.
Whose idea was the car?
[Trump] Amy, whose idea was it?
I honestly don't remember.
'M not really sure.
[Trump]
You needed to give a car away.
If you give it away, you will get thousands
and thousands of people. They'll go wild.
I think your concept was terrible.
It's time.
Amy, you know what you have to do.
You're gonna have to make a choice.
Somebody's going up to the suite.
Somebody's gonna go down to the street.
- Who's coming back to the boardroom?
-1 choose Nick to go back up to the suite.
Okay. Very good. Nick, you go.
Amy, Katrina, I'll see you back
in a few minutes.
- What do you think, Mark?
- [ really don't think any of them did a good job.
But in particular, Katrina was kind of just blasé,
just floating around, not really sure what to do.
I agree. And although Amy
performed well in all the other tasks,
she definitely, definitely made
large mistakes here.
All right. Let's see.
Let's see how they are. Okay.
Robin, let "em in, please.
Okay. You can go in
and see Mr. Trump now.
What did Nick do
so much better than Katrina?
On this specific task,
they equally performed as well.
But I've looked over the history
of tasks between the two candidates,
and I think that Nick
ls a stronger leader.
He's a strong leader, but I don't necessarily
think that Nick is a stronger leader than I am.
And I think that a lot of times, through this
process, people have underestimated me...
and I have not been given
the opportunity to lead like I would.
And a perfect example is when we went to the dealership.
I had prenegotiated before we got there,
but once we got there,
I was not allowed to finish--
- By who? By who?
- Well, Amy was there with me.
And I think it's happened
time and time again.
I'm not the type of person that's gonna
wrestle anybody to be a star.
- I'm just not gonna do it.
- But sometimes you have to do that.
- Sometimes you do have to do it-- - If you
would've done that, maybe you would've done better.
But sometimes to be a team player,
you need to take a step back and let your leader shine.
1 actually thought that Katrina
negotiated the deal.
She had used some charm
and had him--
wWell, I disagree,
and I'm gonna tell you why.
Do you believe-- By the way,
she said “using your charm.”
- Do you believe in using womanly charm?
- Most definitely.
- Do you believe in that too?
- Absolutely. And I think that anyone--
- Do you think that's unfair to men?
- No.
[ Think that every man that stands in the
suite today uses their charm in business.
- Katrina.
- Yes?
- Were you surprised that you were picked?
- No, not at all.
- Why?
- Because of a personal relationship...
that Amy and Nick have,
1 thought I would be chosen.
What does personal mean?
They like each other?
- Yes.
- I'm surprised at you, Amy.
-1 didn't see this.
- Well, I don't make a decision on personal relationships.
I can firmly say that I made a decision...
based on who ! think
ls the stronger candidate.
I think that Nick and Amy
both play each other.
- Ah. Do you think that's true.
-1t possibly is true.
Would you be disappointed,
Amy, if that were true?
Um, no, not at all.
And actually--
Would you be disappointed
if Nick was playing you?
I think Nick has a crush on me.
But do you think the fact that you're
having a relationship with Nick...
made Nick go up to the suite and
Katrina come back to the boardroom?
Absolutely not. We like each other.
We flirt with each other.
But if we want to talk personal relationships,
I think we all have personal relationships.
We live together.
Well, in the meantime, there's gonna be
one woman and four men left in the suite.
So Nick staged a pretty good comeback,
and you didn't help things
by choosing a woman.
You could've chosen your boyfriend.
- He's not my boyfriend whatsoever.
- But you think Nick would be better for me?
- Yes, I do.
- If you want to win, why would you keep your competition?
Because I focus on aligning myself with
the strongest team members until the end.
And then from that point, I think
it's my responsibility to work on my own.
- And then you destroy them?
- Absolutely.
Now, I have to say--
You've been on how many losing teams?
- Just-- I've only lost twice.
- Well, onlyis a lot.
You've been on no losing teams
until this one.
That's correct. it was four times that I led
teams to success being switched back and forth.
How do I respond to that?
I don't know if I can respond to that?
I don't necessarily think that she led them.
I think there was a lot of luck that played into this.
My only problem is I have to go,
to a certain extent, with the past...
because I think you were equal
on this performance.
And in the past,
Amy was very exceptional,
Both teams picked her to join their team when
they had a chance, and [ can't ignore that.
And therefore, Katrina,
I have to say-- you're fired.
[Trump] Amy, up to the suite.
Katrina, good luck.
[ Carolyn] 1 do think that
Amy ls the stronger person.
And she, over the course of weeks--
Over the course of weeks
has definitely proven herself,
where I really haven't
seen that from Katrina yet.
[Trump] Katrina just wasn't as outstanding
throughout the various events as Amy was.
I think that Amy definitely
has a relationship with Nick.
I think that her relationship with Nick
is part of her strategy to win this game.
She will try to manipulate
Nick as best she can.
She could deny it
all day long,
but she and Nick
definitely have a connection.
My advice
to the four guys remaining...
is to open their eyes and realize
that Amy will manipulate...
each and every one of them one by
one until she wins this entire thing.
Previously on The Apprentice,
the candidates were challenged
to manage a fleet of rickshaws,
and Amy came up with
a breakthrough idea for Versacorp.
We could advertise
on the back of the rickshaw.
[Bill]
Now we're thinking, guys.
[Trump] But Katrina was unhappy that
her ideas weren't being taken seriously.
I'm successful for a reason, and
it's not solely because of my looks.
Every idea I came up with, you tossed.
I'm sick and tired of it
[Bill] The bottom line is this:
Katrina doesn't like the way I lead.
My advice to her is step aside, then.
[Trump]
Protégé's sales were slow.
Pedicab rides.
And Heidi's head
just wasn't in the game.
You guys interested in Manhattan Rickshaw Company?
No? You don't want a ride?
[ Beeps ] Damn it!
I can't win today.
It's just exhausting, you know? You're working
seven days a week. You don't get a day off.
[Trump] And Protégé hit rock bottom
when they made a shocking discovery.
[ Heidi]
What"s that, you guys?
[Troy] We'd seen the other
team's rickshaw go by,
and 1 said, “By God, they might've sold
advertising on the back of their rickshaws.”
That's a great idea.
[Trump] Versacorp's advertising
idea led to a victory...
and to some private time
for Nick and Amy.
You're always staring off into space,
and I'm wondering what you"re thinking.
You wonder what I'm thinking about.
And I'm intimidated.
Intimidated? I think so.
I 'am a little.
1 think Amy thinks she's playing Nick,
but I think in the end, Nick'lf win.
[Trump]
Protégé's loss led them to the boardroom,
where they quickly felt the heat
for their lack of ideas.
So you were badly beaten.
You want to be president of one of my companies?
And Carolyn called out Heidi
for not stepping up.
Heidi, in the time that we've been here,
I have yet to really see anything out of you.
You're entitled to your opinion.
I don't agree.
But everybody has said that Troy
is a good leader, including you.
- Well, heis a good leader.
- And nobody's said that about you.
In this event, you wouldn't
step up as a leader,
and you barely contributed
as a follower.
Heidi, you're fired.
[Trump] Six candidates are left.
Who will be fired this week?

Moment of truth, guys.
Who do you think?
- Heidi.
- Nick?
- Heidi.
- Heidi.
- Troy? Heidi?
- Tee-roy!
[ Laughs]
Gettin' through the woods, baby!
You're somethin', man.
Congrats.
[Kwame ]
It didn't get hot after I left, did it?
[Troy] Almost. Donald T.'s up, and he just
goes, “The other team just slaughtered you.”
I go, “Absolutely. I'm not arguing that.
Ultimately, though, this is a job interview.
Only one person gets the job.
Everybody sucks, and I'm the best.”
[All Laughing ] [Amy] Here it
comes, baby!
[ Laughs]
[ Phone Ringing ]
- Good morning.
- Hi. It's Rhona upstairs in Mr. Trump's office.
He asked me to call you and
have you meet him downstairs...
in the lobby by the waterfall
in an hour.
Okay. Thank you.
- Good morning.
- [ Both ] Good morning.
The first thing I want to do
is introduce Mark Brown.
My advisor, George,
ls on another important business trip,
so Mark Brown is taking his place.
Mark runs my hotels in Atlantic City.
He's tough,
so he's gonna be representing me
on this event.
The first thing we have to do
ls even out the teams.
'Cause we had a winning team
and, unfortunately--
A losing.
You two guys, always.
Who are you gonna choose
to be on your side?
We're gonna choose Bill
to be on our side.
Good. Go ahead, Bill.
Good luck.
[ Indistinct ]
- So why didn't you choose Amy?
- Amy's got enough kudos as it is.
'M glad you finally chose
somebody else.
Now, when I built Trump Tower,
I said, “I want to build
the greatest building in the world.”
And I also wanted it to be
a huge attraction...
to draw people in
and spend lots of money.
So what I did is I constructed
a waterfall...
that's six stories tall...
that's gotten the best architectural reviews,
probably, of anything I've ever done.
People come from all over the world
to visit Trump Tower...
and to see the waterfall,
and all of the shops
and restaurants benefit.
Now, the Trump Taj Mahal
is the number one hotel in Atlantic City.
I've always felt that the Trump Taj Mahal
should do even better.
What I want you to do
ls go to Atlantic City...
with Carolyn and Mark and
come up with a promotional idea...
that will bring in and register gamblers
at the Trump Taj Mahal.
Your promotion will run
from 10:00 tomorrow morning...
until 10:00 tomorrow night.
The winning team is the one
whose registered gamblers...
actually spend the most money
in the casino.
The losing team will report back to me
at the boardroom...
where someone will be fired.
I've arranged for a bus
to take everyone to Atlantic City.
Good luck at the Taj Mahal.
Good luck in Atlantic City. Thank you.
Thank you.
Off to Atlantic City.
[Katrina ] Amy is our project manager.
[ really want to see her prove...
that she deserves
the attention that she's getting.
Just you and the girls, Nick.
Oh, my God.
[ Laughs]
[Katrina ] Considering the fact that Nick
and Amy have some kind of love affair,
[ really don't need to be
buddy-buddies with anybody.
As long as I do a good job,
that's all that counts.
Welcome back aboard.
[ Chuckles ]
I'm shocked that they picked me,
because Troy and /..
Do not have compatible styles,
in my opinion.
In fact, we're exact opposites.
Frankly, 'm not exactly fond
of the way he does business.
It's very nice to meet you.
[ Driver] Six people. It's a big bus.
That's concerning.
Maybe we say everybody independently
brainstorm for 15 to 20 minutes,
and we'll start talking
about some revenue stuff.
[Kwame ] As project manager,
my management style...
is to have great people, tell them what
to do, get the hell out of their way.
That's why we picked Bill. My leadership
style works with people like Bill and Troy...
because you just give 'em a mission,
give 'em a road map and they'll get it done.
What's your schedule
look like this afternoon?
If Teresa could join us there,
that would be great.
We have an appointment.
[Troy] The whole time on the bus,
we're just talking strategies, game plans,
we're making appointments.
- Okay. Thanks, Steve. Bye.
- Good.
Good job, guy. Good job.
I look up at the other team--
And they're all sleeping.
Every single one of 'em are sleeping,
like this is a tour-guided bus.
This is a job interview.
It's down to six of us!
Somebody better rise to the top.
Yeah, arrived in Atlantic City
at the Trump Taj Mahal...
- and were greeted by Mark Brown.
- Welcome. The trip was good?
- The trip was very good.
- Good. Let's go.
Oh, my goodness.
This place is amazing.
There's everything
you can think of here.
What the customer always wants
is to have a great time...
"cause this is entertainment,
but your job is to bring in
and register gamblers...
that hopefully will spend
lots of money.
[Bill] How many gaming
positions do you have?
Gaming positions?
We have 4,600 slot machines--
The game was not gonna be
won or lost on volume.
It was gonna be won or lost
on the quality of player...
that you brought through.
In order for us to bring home a victory,
we need to bring in the big money players.
1 think we'll need some kind
of really big, dynamic height.
What about belly dancers?
Something big. A tiger or--
You could have a boat.
If you have some kind of car--
I always walk towards those things 'cause
I want to know exactly what's going on.
I brought up serious ideas,
but it was pretty evident...
that Amy thought
that I was being delirious.
We can pay
for a weekend car rental..
Of a luxury vehicle of choice.
[Katrina ] Amy's plan is to
have a $300 rental giveaway.
[Amy] They just come
over, fill out their name,
and at 10:00 p.m.,
we have a raffle giveaway.
Amy shot my ideas down
with regard to the promotion.
So / think Amy needs to be
held responsible if this team fails.
You have to have something
that attracts attention.
Nice to meet you. One of the people
that we fad called was a carpenter.
I'd ask him, “What is the grandest
idea that you've ever built?”
He said, “A wheel.”
Somewhere in this big building
there's gotta be a used wheel,
and I want to refurbish it.
We're hooked up with the right guy!
Oh, yes. We've found
the wheel of my dreams.
We've saved ourselves time.
We've saved ourselves money. It's just awesome.
It's just the wheel of our dreams,
and it's ready to go.
[ Laughing ] They're gonna
be very happy with me, boss.
[Man] Hi. How are you doing?
[Amy] Are you Bob?
Yes. So, you guys want a car, huh?
Come on over.
I had prenegotiated the deal
with the Chrysler dealership.
Over the phone, Bob pretty much told me
that he would give us whatever we needed.
You guys are coming to me and less than 24
hours, you want a free car.
Mm-hmm. What kind of car
did you have in mind?
We were thinking of a Crossfire.
Really?
Yeah.
- [ Laughing ]
- Ideally, Id like to give "em a Crossfire,
but you're telling me
that that's not possible.
I don't know that I'm even
gonna give you that car.
[ Laughing ]
Bob! Come on, Bob.
[Amy] [ think that Katrina has
a tendency to use sexuality...
as her prime negotiating tactic.
When it wasn't working for her
at securing our deal,
her strategy was just
to flirt a little more.
I bet when I called today, you didn't think you
would be getting in this much trouble with us, huh?
- No, I didn't.
- [ Chuckling ]
You know what? Turn off the sexual
bull-- [ Beeps ] and let's talk business.
[Bob] Like, what's gonna be in
it as far as the dealership?
Well, basically, we'll--
Go ahead, then.
Ideally, what we'd like to do ls to lure as
many people into the Trump Taj Mahal as we can.
[Katrina ] Amy has a difficult
time letting others take over.
She really needs to be the star
of every transaction.
So what we're hoping
is to promote your dealership...
as kind of a cosponsor
of our event.
So in essence, we'll be your free
marketing staff for 12 hours.
That sounds good. Yeah.
[Troy] Holy goodness!
Do you got a business card?
I had them, but not--
Yeah?
[Kwame ]
Fitz is the 10-year-old wonder kid,
the executive producer
of the Fercos Brothers show.
We followed Donald's advice:
“Go straight to the top.”
Yeah. [Troy] I asked him,
“Fitz, we want to comarket with you.”
We go through a negoti--
I"m talking to a 1 O-year-old Kid,
and I'm negotiating with him!
We want to do a little show
out front in the casino.
Maybe bring out some
of the dancers in costumes.
-1 go, “Oh, soyou're gonna help us?” And he goes--
- Yeah.
So, 1 go, “Can I have the lions and tigers?”
“Yeah!”
[Troy] What a great partnership for all
the hype and all the hoopla behind it,
and we can both benefit from it.
Let me give you advice in life:
Don't sell when it's already sold.
[ Bell Ringing ]
[Troy] Fitz says, “Troy,
whatever you want, you can have.
The only condition is,
I want you guys coming to my show.”
[Kwame ]
I want to go with you.
Can you run solo?
Yeah.
[Bill] Kwame and Troy decided that they
both needed to go see the show tonight.
It's their decision, and,
you know, they gotta live with it.
They're running in a million different
directions, but Kwame's the team leader,
and I don't want
to step on him too much.
All right. I'll-- I'll see
you guys in a bit. Okay.
It really didn't take two of us
to go to the show to pick a tiger.
I actually just wanted
to go along with Troy.
[ Up-tempo]
[Troy] The Fercos Brothers,
these phenomenal magicians,
they're riding
on the back of these lions,
and they're working with these tigers.
The show was just incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
[Bill]
Ah--[ Beeps ] I'm so mad right now.
Taking a two-and-a-half-hour siesta
at the show.
One person could've accomplished that,
without a doubt,
and we have a lot more things
that we need to knock out of the way.
- [ Both Laughing ]
- [Audience Applauding, Cheering ]
See, I make you nervous.
Oh, yeah. Totally.
Totally nervous.
Nick clearly has a crush on me.
I think that he's a great guy.
He's a lot of fun to be around with.
I think he's handsome.
So, do you guys want to share this bed
in here? And I'll sleep in that bed.
So, Nick, where are you sleeping?
- Well--
- [Katrina Laughs ]
- Our mothers would not approve.
[Amy] I don't really know
what I think about Nick.
I don't know where it will go.
Maybe it's time to find out.
[Trump] It's always been
easier for me to think big.
It was always easier for me
to attract the money and the capital...
than it would be if I did a small job someplace that
nobody cared about and nobody wanted to finance.
For instance, I'm building a new
golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
- Frank, how are we doing?
- Good.
[Trump] The site covers over 500
acres, which is huge.
When I'm done, it's going to be one of the
best golf courses anywhere in the world,
All right. Good, smooth stuff. This
topsoil is great. Good and smooth, okay?
In this breeze, in this wind, people
are gonna realize I have my own hair.
They always say,
“Trump-- Does he wear a wig?”
I say, “ll have my own hair.”
At least they'll see it now in the wind.
[ Bell Ringing ]
Our task is to come up with
a promotion...
to bring people into the casino
and spend a lot of money.
Our promotion is basically a game.
Once they come to the game, we provide 'em with a card,
The card we give them keeps track of how
much money they've spent in the casino...
for one day from 10:00 to 10:00.
And the team that gets the customers
to spend the most amount of money wins.
Let me give you one of our coupons
for a free spin today.
We've created this big wheel.
We're gonna be giving away a chance
to win $1,000 cash.
Big promotion today. I'm gonna give you
a free coupon to spin the wheel.
It's 10:00 a.m., and there's
literally a line out the door.
Everybody, welcome to
the Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino.
Step up to the wheel
for a chance to win $1,000.
First spin of the day.
Let's see what he gets.
Fantastic. There's a big spin.
Careful, young man.
[ Contestant ]
Thousand, thousand!
We've got an enter to win
a $1,000 giveaway right there. Fantastic.
Congratulations, sir. Keep one in your
pocket, and put one in the drum.
Our plan is to raffle off a car rental
valued at $300.
Let's go over here, and I'll
walk you through what you're doing.
You want to set down your
jackets and your coats? Sure.
We were focusing on a strategy that would
entice people to come over to our booth.
We thought that we needed manpower
to help recruit people to our location.
So we recruited models.
Do you have to be present to win? No.
Escort them here to make sure that
they stay in line and swipe their card.
Can I get you to come over here and fill
out an entry into our Crossfire giveaway?
Three hundred dollars that you can use to rent a
Chrysler vehicle for the weekend, or take it and run.
You can run away with the car?
You can run away with $300.
Three hundred dollars?
Yeah. Come on over. I'll--
Oh, great.
- And this is a drawing for that car?
- No. It's just $300.
- Oh, okay.
- Aren't they giving away the car?
No, no, no.
They're not giving away the car?
They're giving a rental of the
car for three days. Oh, hell, no.
Hi there. Have you filled
out-- [ Indistinct ] Yeah.
[ Troy On Speaker] One thousand dollars
in cash at the Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino.
And we get a bottle of water for you!
- How are you going? You checking in?
- [Man] Yeah.
All right. Great.
We've got a wheel to win $1,000.
And we have a V.I.P. line that Renee'll walk
you guys to to get a chance to win $1,000 cash.
All right.
Okay. Thanks.
[Bill] We secured exclusive rights to
checking in the V.1.P. and high rollers.
I"m getting a great response
from the people. I'm welcoming them,
and I'm having them personally escorted
from the people from the show.
These are the biggest
money players in the casino.
We're gonna have over a million dollars
of play check in today.
That's the make-or-break scenario
over there-- that V.1.P. line.
1/ hope my teammates can appreciate
the foresight in what I'm doing. I don't know.
If you look at the bell service, there's
asign next to it called V.I.P. suites.
Okay. Yeah. And I'm allowed in there?
Yeah. Absolutely. Good luck.
The other team had a great idea
with the V.I.P. booth.
These guys,
they're gambling big bucks.
Oh, God.
It's like a used car lot.
Someone walks on the lot,
and they get attacked by the vultures.
The other team obviously can't
come up with an original idea,
50 they got the hookers over here
working my customers.
Fair enough. All right.
So I don't want to leave.
I understand.
All right. Cool.
This isn't a used car lot.
We're not selling Toyotas.
This is the Taj Mahal.
We need to act like it.
'I be here. You can go anywhere you
want, but just stay 50 feet away from me.
Okay.
Thank you.
They're being attacked,
and it's just not professional,
Vultures.
They're basically in the same position
we are, so they can't tell you--
- Luck be a lady tonight!
- You could grab anybody from that line and get them to come over here.
Are you sure?
Trust me.
Basically, what they say doesn't matter.
Okay.
Have you come for our drawing yet?
Yes, we did. Thank you.
I'm gonna have to ask you
to go ahead and step on over.
I sure do appreciate it, sweetheart,
but you'll have to step on over there.
But I sure do appreciate it.
We'll have you step on over to your side.
I think we're allowed to go anywhere.
You know what, sweetheart?
I sure do appreciate your opportunity
to help us with our patrons.
Well have you step over there.
But you're lookin' pretty as a peach.
[ Chuckles ] Pretty as a peach.
Thanks.
[Bill] Obviously the other team
ls completely inappropriate.
We're preparing for a full-on war today.
And you do get an opportunity
towina $1,000 giveaway.
Oh, my goodness! Two in a row. We've gotta do something
about that. Here we go. Give it one more spin.
I'm gonna also call and see if
we can get a microphone. Okay.
I wouldn't say that we're taking a hit from the team,
but we recognize the other team has a good strategy...
and we can use microphones
or speakerphones.
Our goal is to join them and hopefully
generate as much traffic or more.
Take a break from the slot machines
for just a second...
while you come on over
and take a look at the 2003 Crossfire.
There's no point, really,
in pulling them off the floor.
As she's screaming
into the casino. Great.
So, on your way back?
[ Chattering Continues ]
Ladies and gentlemen, come on by
as you drop off the escalator...
to see the Chrysler Crossfire.
Simply register your card here
at the Taj Mahal...
and get a chance to win the $1,000.
As you come down the escalators,
take a left.
- I'm gonna and get you a bottle of water.
- Win a $300 gift check.
- Register your card--
- You can use--
[ Both Continue, Indistinct ]
Get a chance to win the $1,000.
Young lady, why don't we have you--
Chrysler Crossfire,
the hottest sports car this year.
[Katrina ] 1 don't think that people screaming
over the microphone attracts people to us.
We're missing something.
I think we need...
shock value,
and we don't have that right now.
[ Tiger Roaring ]
[ Man Shouting, Indistinct ]
S [Fanfare ]
[Troy] I need everybody-- If we can,
we need everybody to step back right now.
Everybody needs to step back behind
the gates. We do have the tiger coming in.
Gentlemen, please direct
your attention to the 2003--
Oh, I can't really beat a tiger.
[Kwame ] The tiger was-- [ Beeps ] phenomenal.
It was a very Donald Trump thing to do.
Like in a basketball game, there's something
demoralizing about dunking on the other team...
and giving em like a full just-- mmm!
When we brought the tiger out,
we dunked on em.
[Troy]
Please step back. Please clear out.
[ Tiger Roars ]
[Bill]
The white tiger caused quite an uproar,
but it also took people
away from the gambling floor.
The people who were looking at the tiger
were not getting their cards swiped.
In fact, it paralyzed their operation.
[Kwame ] We were actually losing V.LP.'s,
'cause V.LP.'s don't want to wait in line.
All'l need is your name and number.
I don't even need your address.
Hey, come over here and swipe your card.
We have a $300 cash giveaway.
Let me swipe that for you.
I think the strategy of bringing a tiger in with
two hours left in the game is a terrible strategy.
They're bringing people over
to stare at a tiger..
Rather than get out
on the floor and gamble.
Even if you're not here for the drawing,
you can still win. Done and done.
Go over here to the right. Look
for the new car with the balloons on it.
We are swarming this entire place.
- You need to wait in this line right here.
- This line over there. Okay.
[ Nick] We just want to get people signed up
and get them in the casino spending money.
You're all signed up.
Thank you.
It's guerrilla marketing at its best,
and I think we're gonna win.
Hi, sir. How are you doin'?
Oh, don't walk so fast.
I need you to fill out a promotion.
S [Fanfare ]
Hello.
[Man]
Hey, Donald Trump, what's up?
How's it going, my man?
[ Chattering ]
Okay, good.
How're you doin', everybody?
[Man] Donald! Donald!
How're we doin', fellas?
One suite tour, ma'am. If you're
interested, head over to the V.I.P. area.
How are you, sir? Hello, Kwame.
How are we doing?
Look who's here to join us.
It's Donald Trump, folks.
- [ All Cheering ]
- Hello, folks.
Come on over here, Troy.
Come on over here, Bill.
- Everybody gonna be here at 10:00 p.m.?
- [Woman ] Yeah.
- Everybody gonna make these guys rich?
- [ Troy ] There you go!
Can we have our applause for Mr. Trump.
All right. Thank you.
- How's Amy doing?
- Hey! How are you doing? Good to see ya!
How are you? How are you?
Good. So, how's it going?
- 1t's going pretty good.
- A lot of people at the Taj Mahal.
- There's a ton of people here tonight.
-1 hear they're doing great. I have to be honest.
Do you want people watching lions,
or do you want 'em gambling?
I want 'em right there.
Absolutely.
Okay, good. She learned
the business pretty quickly, huh?
It's true. How are you?
All yellow ticket holders, report
for your thousand in cold, hard cash.
The crowd is starting to gather.
The Chrysler Crossfire promotional
giveaway is now officially closed.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're waiting
with bated breath for the winner--
- If you're ready, say you're ready.
- [ All Shouting ] We're ready!
All right.
That's what I'm talking about.
Here we go. All yellow ticket holders!
Thank you for participating today.
Draw the lucky person.
And whois it?
[ Crowd Cheering ]
None other than Joan Powers.
Here we go.
Two, three,
zero, nine, three, nine.
- [ All Cheering ]
- Come on over here, ma'am!
[Bill] Way to go, ma'am!
Cold, hard cash!
Unfortunately,
there's no one here right now,
but she will be contacted
within the next 24 hours.
That's pretty much it.
All right! Whoo!
We had just announced
our prize winners on both teams,
and then we headed over
to the blackjack area...
to announce the winner of the task.
[ People Shouting, Cheering ]
Donald! Donald!
Hello, fellas.
Donald!
Donald!
Donald!
How're you doin'?
So, 1 hear you did well.
But, Carolyn, who did better?
I actually have the results for Versacorp.
They brought in a total of 1,337 players,
for total cash revenue of $105,362.
A hundred and five thousand. Not bad.
Mark, how did your group do?
Well, Donald,
Protégé only had 776 patrons.
But because they went after the V.LP.'s
that gambled a lot more money,
Protégé actually pulled in
more money for the casino.
$123,159.
Amy, you finally lost.
And you guys finally won one.
Laughing
You've been losing a little bit, huh?
We won, baby! Yeah!
You mean to tell me that,
Amy, it finally happened?
I'm going to see you in the boardroom.
Okay, fellas, as a reward,
you're staying in the most beautiful
suite you've ever seen,
you're gonna be given $3,000
to gamble at the Taj Mahal,
and you're gonna have a great time.
Thank you very much. You deserve it.
You've had a lot of losses.
And you, in the boardroom.
Somebody's gone.
We're stayin' out all night.
Oh, my God!
We're stayin' out all night, dude.
Oh, God!
I need a cocktail.
Do you know where we're going to sleep?
How are y'all doin'? Fantastic.
Ma'am, how're you doin' tonight?
- Fantastic!
- Victory!
- Yes!
- [Men Cheering ]
[Bill] Penthouse, baby. Say it.
Let me hear you say it.
[Troy] Penthouse, baby!
[ Kwame ] Napoleon Suite.
It's the penthouse!
Oh! Oh, my God!
[Kwame ]
Ridiculous! This is crazy!
1t's not like a suite when you stay
inasuite. It's 3 mansion.
- Oh, pretty nice.
- [All Chattering ]
- [ Bill ] The note's handwritten from D.T.
- “Congratulations.”
[Kwame ]
This is some pimped-out rap video.
- [Beeps ]
- Let's divvy up the C-notes here.
- [ Troy ] A thousand dollars each!
- Mr. Jackson.
You can just call me the mother--
[ Beeps ] P.M. All right?
Do you want a man drink, McClain,
or do you want a girl drink?
- Man me up.
- All right, big boy.
Oh--[ Beeps ]
Bill, Kwame and I, we'd worked all day.
We're slaphappy. We haven't eaten
anything, except for chocolate.
We down our drinks.
We go down to the casino floor.
Victory is sweet.
It tastes so sweet.
- We're the dragon slayers.
- Victory!
I was elated. just couldn't believe it.
1 mean, we just worked our tail off!
We did away with all the fiddle-faddle,
with all the cat fightin'.
My friend Bill is certainly
used to stuff like this. But me--
Holy cow! This boy from Idaho
has never seen anything like it.
Cut that bull--[ Beeps ]
[Bill] Team Protégé is putting
on a happy face right now.
Troy and [ definitely, we're--
we're at opposite ends of the spectrum.
But that's water under the bridge.
We did what we needed to get done.
Go heavy. I got a feeling on this one.
Kwame, hundred!
Let's all go a hundred, all right?
Come on. A hundred a hand.
- Blackjack.
- Yeah!
Booyah! That's what I'm talking about.
[ Indistinct Chattering ]
[ Alarm Clock Beeping ]
[Amy] 1 have a lot of nervous energy,
this being my first time in the boardroom.
If Mr. Trump asks me
who's at fault for the loss,
I think that as project manager that
I have a lot of responsibility to take.
We're down to the wire, and we've got
a lot of qualified candidates.
I hope I can convince him
that I'm the most qualified.
I have to prepare what I"m gonna say.
I don't wanna go in there and look like a fool.
I dreamed about it.
Are you serious?
[ Nick] Amy's at a disadvantage
for not being in a boardroom.
So she could very well get fired,
This is her first time losing.
You don't know how she's gonna perform
in the boardroom with Mr. Trump.
'M nervous.
What's that?
Are your hands gonna sweat?
[Katrina ] There's a high
probability that I may go tonight..
Because of Amy and Nick
and their relationship,
and Trump thinks that Amy's
an unbelievable all-star at this point.
And who's led him to believe that?
All of us.
Good luck, everybody.
[Bill] Good luck.
Here we go again.
So, Amy, how does it feel
to finally be on a losing team?
-1t's tough. -lsn'tit terrible?
Don't you hate to lose?
- I hate to lose.
-1 hate it. Ugh.
I think that where we ultimately lost...
is that our competition had a great
strategy with the V.I.P. booth,
and so they had a handful of big spenders,
and I think that led to their victory.
Then when we tried to do the same thing,
Bill had prenegotiated that-- or whoever did--
- Pretty good, right?
- Oh, it was a great idea.
- Why? Is Bill so outstanding?
- Yeah. Bill's a great player.
- Do you think he's better than you?
-1 think Bill's my toughest competition.
You think Bill is?
And do you agree with that, Nick?
- Do you think Bill is that good?
- He's good.
But you tried to get everybody
from the casino out of the casino--
For what? Coffee or something?
1 don't know. What was that all about?
I think our motivation there was:
Let's get the people that are gambling
on our team and get 'em back out.
But probably 95% of my time
on the microphone was spent..
Actually luring people from the upstairs
to come down the escalator.
- Carolyn?
- I think they definitely had some flaws.
I personally didn't think...
3 $300 value of a rental car
in Atlantic City...
was a draw to keep somebody there
to continue to play.
A promotion is usually
you win a car, not you rent a car.
- I agree with you on that point.
- That's a pretty lousy incentive.
- What do you think, Mark? -1 thought your whole
concept of the car with the black and white balloons--
What is that? You saw the other team.
People were having fun.
They were laughing, spinning
the wheel, having a great time.
They're coming back to the Taj Mahal.
Yours was just like a meat market.
They gave you their name and they're walking away
going, “What was that?” That's not fun.
I wanted to have belly dancers. I wanted to have tigers.
I really wanted to make it a circus.
But you didn't need a circus.
You just needed a car.
See, a circus is cute and it's fun.
It gets attention, but that's it.
Who chose this stupid concept--
of the three?
Was it Nick? Was it you?
Was it you? Who chose?
I came up with the car.
I didn't come up with the idea--
Soit's Nick or Amy.
Whose idea was the car?
[Trump] Amy, whose idea was it?
I honestly don't remember.
'M not really sure.
[Trump]
You needed to give a car away.
If you give it away, you will get thousands
and thousands of people. They'll go wild.
I think your concept was terrible.
It's time.
Amy, you know what you have to do.
You're gonna have to make a choice.
Somebody's going up to the suite.
Somebody's gonna go down to the street.
- Who's coming back to the boardroom?
-1 choose Nick to go back up to the suite.
Okay. Very good. Nick, you go.
Amy, Katrina, I'll see you back
in a few minutes.
- What do you think, Mark?
- [ really don't think any of them did a good job.
But in particular, Katrina was kind of just blasé,
just floating around, not really sure what to do.
I agree. And although Amy
performed well in all the other tasks,
she definitely, definitely made
large mistakes here.
All right. Let's see.
Let's see how they are. Okay.
Robin, let "em in, please.
Okay. You can go in
and see Mr. Trump now.
What did Nick do
so much better than Katrina?
On this specific task,
they equally performed as well.
But I've looked over the history
of tasks between the two candidates,
and I think that Nick
ls a stronger leader.
He's a strong leader, but I don't necessarily
think that Nick is a stronger leader than I am.
And I think that a lot of times, through this
process, people have underestimated me...
and I have not been given
the opportunity to lead like I would.
And a perfect example is when we went to the dealership.
I had prenegotiated before we got there,
but once we got there,
I was not allowed to finish--
- By who? By who?
- Well, Amy was there with me.
And I think it's happened
time and time again.
I'm not the type of person that's gonna
wrestle anybody to be a star.
- I'm just not gonna do it.
- But sometimes you have to do that.
- Sometimes you do have to do it-- - If you
would've done that, maybe you would've done better.
But sometimes to be a team player,
you need to take a step back and let your leader shine.
1 actually thought that Katrina
negotiated the deal.
She had used some charm
and had him--
wWell, I disagree,
and I'm gonna tell you why.
Do you believe-- By the way,
she said “using your charm.”
- Do you believe in using womanly charm?
- Most definitely.
- Do you believe in that too?
- Absolutely. And I think that anyone--
- Do you think that's unfair to men?
- No.
[ Think that every man that stands in the
suite today uses their charm in business.
- Katrina.
- Yes?
- Were you surprised that you were picked?
- No, not at all.
- Why?
- Because of a personal relationship...
that Amy and Nick have,
1 thought I would be chosen.
What does personal mean?
They like each other?
- Yes.
- I'm surprised at you, Amy.
-1 didn't see this.
- Well, I don't make a decision on personal relationships.
I can firmly say that I made a decision...
based on who ! think
ls the stronger candidate.
I think that Nick and Amy
both play each other.
- Ah. Do you think that's true.
-1t possibly is true.
Would you be disappointed,
Amy, if that were true?
Um, no, not at all.
And actually--
Would you be disappointed
if Nick was playing you?
I think Nick has a crush on me.
But do you think the fact that you're
having a relationship with Nick...
made Nick go up to the suite and
Katrina come back to the boardroom?
Absolutely not. We like each other.
We flirt with each other.
But if we want to talk personal relationships,
I think we all have personal relationships.
We live together.
Well, in the meantime, there's gonna be
one woman and four men left in the suite.
So Nick staged a pretty good comeback,
and you didn't help things
by choosing a woman.
You could've chosen your boyfriend.
- He's not my boyfriend whatsoever.
- But you think Nick would be better for me?
- Yes, I do.
- If you want to win, why would you keep your competition?
Because I focus on aligning myself with
the strongest team members until the end.
And then from that point, I think
it's my responsibility to work on my own.
- And then you destroy them?
- Absolutely.
Now, I have to say--
You've been on how many losing teams?
- Just-- I've only lost twice.
- Well, onlyis a lot.
You've been on no losing teams
until this one.
That's correct. it was four times that I led
teams to success being switched back and forth.
How do I respond to that?
I don't know if I can respond to that?
I don't necessarily think that she led them.
I think there was a lot of luck that played into this.
My only problem is I have to go,
to a certain extent, with the past...
because I think you were equal
on this performance.
And in the past,
Amy was very exceptional,
Both teams picked her to join their team when
they had a chance, and [ can't ignore that.
And therefore, Katrina,
I have to say-- you're fired.
[Trump] Amy, up to the suite.
Katrina, good luck.
[ Carolyn] 1 do think that
Amy ls the stronger person.
And she, over the course of weeks--
Over the course of weeks
has definitely proven herself,
where I really haven't
seen that from Katrina yet.
[Trump] Katrina just wasn't as outstanding
throughout the various events as Amy was.
I think that Amy definitely
has a relationship with Nick.
I think that her relationship with Nick
is part of her strategy to win this game.
She will try to manipulate
Nick as best she can.
She could deny it
all day long,
but she and Nick
definitely have a connection.
My advice
to the four guys remaining...
is to open their eyes and realize
that Amy will manipulate...
each and every one of them one by
one until she wins this entire thing.
