apprentice, week (whatever it is)

cool project, unstellar players.

the guys work well together, the women don't... most of them (well half of them) are very cliqueish and it doesn't help the team function at all. the women did make a smart choice in picking randal to join their side this week, but he wasn't put to work in any sort of way that he could shine.

when they were showing the guys work, i asked leigh (who watched with me this week), "what the heck is markus doing?" just moments before they started playing comments from the other guys of "we have no idea what markus is doing or what he adds to the team". luckily, they won in spite of him.

kristi, although i LOVE her accent, had to go. she puts a lot of effort and energy into tasks, but she isn't a team player at all. i was so certain that jennifer was going home going into the final boardroom, but as can be the case, she made one brilliant point and suddenly had donald on her side. i don't see her winning it all though.

favorite of all is still randal, followed by marshawn. they are the only two people who have consistently not been catty, have been really hard workers, and when they speak it's not to add drama... they're both clear, well-thought-out, and to the point, and often very astute when most of their competitors are all about the drama and "he said, she said" of it all. i really hope one of the two of them takes it all at the end of the season.

still counting down the weeks until markus is fired.

the end.
