Drowned...

Remember how I mentioned that I joined an "Apprentice" pool at work? Well, last night shattered any hopes I had of winning it. I picked John, and though he displayed flashes of arrogance in the previous two episodes, the other apprentice wannabes were evidently more annoying to Trump and his lackeys. Last night, John pulled out all the stops to be a grade A jerk. While meeting with musical artists, it was all about him. He initially started by kissing up to them, then started talking all about his prowess as a music industry titan (I think he owned a nightclub or something). He treated his female teammates like chattel, and was just an all-around dork. Note that he wasn't the creepiest - that would have to go to Gene Simmons, hands down. I thought Erin would freak when he started playing with her hair.

I do respect John for not trying (too hard) to shift the blame to someone else. He could have tried to throw Chris under the bus, but spent his time defending himself without really trashing Chris or Erin. Despite that, John's firing was well-deserved.

Is it just me, or is Trump's buddy George frighteningly similar to Dick Cheney?
