Tammy Trenta, the 33 year-old wealth manager from New Jersey, was the latest Apprentice wannabe to hear The Donald say ?you?re fired? on last night?s episode.
Trenta was Synergy?s project manager, so Donald Trump blamed her for the loss, partly because she told her teammates that she wanted the task to be ?all about her.?
The product placement… I mean task… for the two teams was in partnership with Microsoft and WalMart, to create an in-store marketing location for the new X Box.
While the men on Gold Rush seemed to have the upper hand at the beginning of the task (guest judge Ivanka Trump said their idea was creative), the girls on Synergy fought with one another instead of getting to work.
However, Gold Rush ran into problems when the contractor they hired to do the floor and ceiling for their presentation centre showed up two hours late, and without the ceiling. The team was in trouble and threw together a presentation space ? duct taping signs to poles.
Synergy created a ?red carpet? experience, with different areas set up. However, the girls did not place other products in their location, instead it was just the X Box. It was because of the lack of product placement the girls lost the task.
Gold Rush then went on to a product placement… ahem, reward… where the guys (and the millions of viewers) got to see and hear about how wonderful the new movie Over the Hedge is.
In the boardroom, Trenta tried to blame fellow team member Roxanne Wilson, but ultimately Trump held her responsible for the team?s ideas and loss.
Trenta was the fourteenth contestant fired on this season?s Apprentice.
