Synergy
Sean Yazbeck is the new Apprentice, baby!

(S05E15) Well, all right! I admit it, I was partial to Sean winning this season's The Apprentice. Although he was quiet during the early weeks he really stepped up to the plate after the herd had thinned out a bit. In fact, during the last two tasks before the final project, when he was teamed with Lee on Gold Rush, Sean really was a shining star.
Granted, Lee Bienstock was no slouch, either. For someone who I thought would be a 'hanger-on' to anyone who seemed to be a winner in Gold Rush (and, believe me, they were few and far between) he really came into his own when all of the chafe was sorted out. By the end of the series you could really see some newfound maturity in the young man. Pretty impressive for someone who had recently graduated college.
Well, now that we know who the winner is, let's go back in time and find out how our Tammy-loving Sean became Donald Trump's newest employee on The Apprentice.
The Apprentice: Back to School
(S05E11) Ah, Rutgers; my old alma mater. The parties, the drinking, the pretty cheerleaders, nights of debauchery, days of hanging out with your fraternity brothers or sorority sisters, throwing up in the alley behind the student center.
Well, at least that's what I've heard: I spent most of my time working at the university's radio station. Still, they were some of the best years of my young life and I don't regret going to one of the largest (if not the largest) public university's in the state of New Jersey. So, I headed into this episode of The Apprentice with a bit more excitement than usual as I looked forward to seeing the New Brunswick campus obtain a bit of national glory, and to watch the Synergies and the Goldy Rushies try to sell as much food as possible during the Homecoming game.
And now, the crappy college food that is known as The Apprentice.
The Apprentice: Blow Out
(S05E10) In Monday's fun-filled episode of The
Apprentice, the Scooby gangs oversee the grand openings of two different hair salons. The title of the episode is
'Blow Out'. The Bravo cable network has a reality show named Blow Out, which focuses on the antics of a
Hollywood hair salon and its owner. Bravo is owned by Universal, which also runs NBC.
Hmm. I smell network synergy.
Oh, before we begin the bloodletting I wanted to mention a few things that we learned this episode:
- Everyone thinks that Lee is a born politician;
- Trump thinks Tarek is a schmuck (but we all knew that already);
- For the millionth time, that's Donald Trump's real friggin' hair!
And now, the jello mold we call The Apprentice.
The Apprentice: It's More than Decor/A Slice of Heaven
(S05E07/S05E08)
Well, we're about half-way through this cycle of The Apprentice, and there is one thing I can say with
100% truthfulness: team Gold Rush sucks! I mean, these are the worst group of corporate potentials that I have ever
seen on this show. The three remaining male members of the team (Tyrek, Lee and Lenny) couldn't decide if they wanted
cheese or not on their Whopper without an argument breaking out. Tyrek is just vapid, Lenny uses his Russian heritage
as a crutch, and Lee kind of just sits there.
Actually, Lee reminds me of two people. If you put a pair of glasses and a bow tie on him he looks a bit like Mr. Smithers from The Simpsons. I can actually hear him saying, "Why, that's Tyrek, Mr. Trump. One of your cancerous tumors from Sector 7G." The other person he reminds me of is Michael from The Office; he seems like one of those guys who would do anything to get others to like him. Needless to say, if Gold Rush continues in their current format they are going to continue to lose.
I smell a team change on the horizon. With that foreshadowing let's move on to the chicken casserole we call The Apprentice.
The Apprentice: Cereal Killers (Episode 4)
Boy, they love to cry over there at Apprentice
central. Last week, Andrea had
a crying jag when Brent returned to the apartment after his boardroom session. This week, Charmaine had a bit of a pout
when she realized that she was 'this close' to being fired. I'm really not too sure if these are people that I'd want
to run a business; they seem to cry at the drop of a hat.
Anyway, let us be off to the sideshow that is known as The Apprentice.
The Apprentice: Get it in Gear (Episode 3)
And now for the review of The Apprentice, Episode 3. . . Donald Trump did not say anything about dating his daughter.
Now, on to your comments. Hm? I'm sorry, what did you say? That's not a review? You want me to critique the episode and comment on the good and bad? You want me to talk about Donald Trump's hair resembling a child of Cousin It from The Addams Family? Oh, okay, if you really want me to!
I came into this late. In fact, the episode I'm reviewing right now is the first I've watched. However, from what I see, there is a clear difference between teams Synergy and Gold Rush. Synergy has a diverse group of people who seem to have their heads on straight and are effective at completing a task. On the other hand, Gold Rush is full of neophytes who only care about themselves.
