Hey Everyone.
It is Thursday at once again that means time for more of The Donald. Live Coverage beings at 9PM Eastern.
After last week’s wild boardroom, where NetWorth (StreetSmarts) turned on each other and Magna stuck together, it will be interesting to see how the teams can get back on track.
Check out the recaps and analysis of last week’s shows done by former Apprentices Nick Warnock and Chris Russo. They take the teams to task for their horrible ads last week.
Also be sure to vote in Inside Pulse’s poll. Do you have an idea of who is next on the chopping block? I’m betting on Audrey.
Make sure to refresh for updates.

Craig decides to buy something for his wife, good call!
Chris and John also get necklaces for their girlfriends.
The girls get stuff for themselves except Tana who gets cufflinks for her husband. I ask myself why the F am I even typing all this crap? Does anyone car what these people bought?
Commercial time.
So who should get fired? It looks like Bren will take Michael and Stephanie into the boardroom with him.
Stephanie tells Michael that she is fine if she goes into the boardroom with him. She tries to get Michael on her side to go after Bren. Michael feels that Stephanie had a bad attitude though and looks to be siding with Bren.
Bren tells the audience he is going to be a vicious S.O.B. in the boardroom.
Donald asks Bren what failed? Bren feels the marketing is where things failed. He admits their idea wasn’t as creative.
Donald asks them how they feel with the high schoolers beat them?
Bren admits he would take two people from NetWorth. He would replace Michael and Stephanie.
Bren starts attacking Michael and blames him for not bringing in clients. Bren tells Donald that Stephanie is very negative.
Stephanie thinks Bren was an Ok leader. She feels he failed in the time management department. Alex backs Bren as a leader and goes after Stephanie. Kendra goes after Michael. Jill thinks the marketing failed. Erin says Michael is a boardroom cliché, which impresses Donald. Erin feels Michael doesn’t have the fire in his belly.
Bren chooses Stephanie and Michael. BIG SURPRISE!
I think Bren is safe. His team has backed him and gone after the rest of them.
Commercial time.
I am putting my money on Michael finally going home. Donald was not impressed with his fake attitude he showed towards Bren.
Back!
George thinks Stephanie is too negative. Laura thinks Michael didn’t do a good job and Stephanie is too critical.
Stephanie tells The Donald that she respects both of the other two. Michael feels Bren has left them in the dust. Bren tells Donald that Stephanie should be the one who is fired. She works hard but is negative.
Michael starts to interrupt Bren and attacks him. Donald thinks he is being stupid for interrupting him. Donald think Michael should be fired for choosing to protect Stephanie.
Donald tells Michael that he is lazy and nothing but trouble.
Michael You’re Fired!
George thinks Donald had the right solution.
Michael leaves and gets into his cab.
I am disappointed with this decision. Stephanie should have gone. I think Donald just got annoyed with Michael and lost respect for him. Stephanie is on the chopping block the next time Magna goes to the boardroom. It will be interesting to see how she acts towards Bren after some of things he said about her.
Bren once again showed his survival instincts. He is quickly becoming a master of the boardroom.
I think Donald gave a big hint and he is going to mix up the teams next week.
I bet they draft a new team and Stephanie will lead one of the teams.
Back!
Michael in his cab talks about how everyone on his team are a bunch of back-stabbers. He attacks all of the lawyers on his team. He thinks the high school team will smoke the college team.
I can’t wait to see Murtz’s interview of him. I really like Michael.
That is it for now kids. I expect big changes soon. After 5 episodes Book Smarts have lost 4 people, Streets Smarts 2 people. That leaves 12 people left. It seems like a good time to shake up the teams, even things up 6-6. Who will be able to adjust quickly if the teams are mixed up??
