The Show StArteD out with A rAce between THE men AND the women. RAcing TO See who wouLD get A heLicopter riDe TO get TO their firSt tASk. THE men won!

The Apprentice'S firSt job wAS TO bAttLe IN out IN the fitneSS buSineSS. THE tASk wAS TO Set up A new workout cLASS IN An ALreADy exiSting fitneSS center (BALLy'S) AND get peopLe TO Sign up.

I knew thiS wAS going TO be An intereSting epiSoDe when MeLiSSA (ReAL EStAte InveStor, from FLoriDA) begAn TO get very excitAbLe During THE teAm meeting on how much THE peopLe IN the community wouLD BE wiLLing TO pAy for A cLASS. Since THE FitneSS Center wAS IN preDominAteLy LAtino community AND MeLiSSA iS LAtinA, She feLt She knew exActLy how much they wouLD BE wiLLing TO pAy for A cLASS. She StArteD of THE tASk ALL wrong, by being So LouD AND over beAring AND not LiStening TO her teAm. DiDn't She LeArn for THE previouS Apprentice'S thAt, thAt DoeSn't work?

MeAn whiLe THE BoyS Are Looking gooD, THE onLy iSSue they hAD wAS thAt THE project mAnger MArkuS tALkeD too much. I couLD heLp but LAugh, when IN the miDDLe of THE tASk he ASkeD THE teAm "IS there Anything I couLD BE Doing or Doing better". WhAt iS thiS A conteSt or A therApy SeSSion? They juSt LookeD At him IN DeAD SiLence.

It got worSe for THE (CApitAL EDge) women when they begAn Doing THE mArketing, AND went outSiDe of THE gym TO finD cuStomerS for THE cLASS, inSteAD of enLiSting peopLe thAt were ALreADy memberS of THE gym Like THE (ExceL) men DiD.

THE women wASteD money on mArket, printing up theSe SiLLy fLyerS thAt SAiD TripLe TreAt. Which LookeD Like they were SoLiciting Sex, but they mAnAgeD TO get A fAir Amount of peopLe TO join their cLASS.

Before they got TO the boArD room, I knew who wAS going TO go if THE women DiDn't weLL AS weLL if THE men DiDn't Do weLL. It ALL boiLeD Down TO how much money they hAD mADe. THE women LoSt by $11 DoLLArS AND I knew MeLiSSA wAS out.

I knew they wouLD get on, her even though She wASn't THE reASon why THE LoSt THE tASk. It wAS eASier thAn getting riD of THE KriStie, who wAS THE project mAnAger AND ApproveD THE MArketing StrAtegy.

IntereSting enough THE men were SAfe thiS week, but it SeemS THE DonALD hAS chAngeD it up A bit. You now hAve THE option TO exempt THE project mAnAger from getting fireD IN the next tASk or not. ThiS week THE men DiD not give MArkuS An exemption, So he'S not SAfe for next week. NO one iS!

KriStie AND MeLiSSA bAttLeD it out IN the boArD room, but At THE enD of THE night MeLiSSA wAS fireD!

I hope THE otherS LeArn from her miStAke.
