In the first task, Leeza was a star on the women´s team. Without her the team would have lost as she did basically everything regarding the direction and the concept of the video, not to mention a lot of the editing decisions. Brandi was her right hand woman, even though quite annoying. Kate as the project manager was useless.

Men´s team lost because the branding of the product was lacking and the direction wasn´t up to par. Also the script lacked key elements, which was apparently Geraldo´s fault. Also Geraldo was an annoyance and a distraction in the board meeting.

Kevin made a mistake of bringing Ian and Geraldo with him. Ian was not the reason they lost and Geraldo isn´t going to be fired this early, since he greats drama. So he went instead. Should have brought Lorenzo instead of Ian.

In the other task, men´s team catering, serving and the presentation went smoothly, until it was Gilbert´s turn. His presentation was a disaster (made inappropriate jokes and said rude things, which the executives didn´t like) and it basically wrecked their chances there. Other thing was the slogan, which was apparently not very good and lacked concreteness and truthfulness. That was Geraldo´s idea, which Terrell authorized. Terrell was the PM, so he weighed a lot of the responsibility as a decision signer/maker, who accepted the slogan and the concept.

Women had problems with Kate and Shawn spending way too much time on the shopping, which created a time lapse. Also the the food was not made/prepared in time and there were lots of delays. But i think because of Vivica who was very convincing PM that organized a lot of stuff in the task and provided entertainment to the diners. She was the sole reason that the women were successful.

In the end the women´s team won and after discussions and task debriefing, Terrell brought Geraldo and Gilbert with him to the board room. In the end Gilbert was the one fired, because of his inappropriateness in his presentation.

I know. I watched the episode.

Good for you.

I've not watched this season yet, been meaning to. Has it been good?

[Calderyon]

^Somewhat.


----------------
Points on the episode:

Spoiler:

- Last week Geraldo defeated his rival Ian by a mere $2500 in the wedding dress selling money collecting challenge as a project manager and now has a clean 2-0 slate. He was good on the first challenge also when he "invented" the selfie idea. At this point he is a clear final 4 candidate. That being said, both of the tasks were money gathering tasks, not normal tasks were he has already been in the losing team twice and also on the boardroom twice. Classy move on splitting the winnings instead of taking the whole sum.

- Jamie should have picked Brandi instead of Kate to join her and Kenya. I think Brandi would have been fired, had she done so. Now she took the plunge. She was a bad project manager though and very all-over-the-place and unable to make decisions well, so in the end she deserved to go.

- Ian is a great competitor, but is too wrapped up in his hatred towards Geraldo. Eventually that might bite him in the butt.

- Terrell was very lackluster on the charity event/money gathering challenge. Did very little and was quite useless. Should have pushed much harder on those doners. Was deservedly fired in the process.

- Johnny was also very lazy on the second task and a disappointment. He got more money in the second task than Terrell though and was saved by an inch. He was a good project manager though on the first task of the episode.

- Sig Hansen has been quite invisible in these first episodes. In think last 30 minutes of the episode were the first time i heard him talk on this season.

- At this moment based on the editing it seems that the final two will be either Ian and Geraldo or Vivica and either one of the first mentioned. Leeza and Vivica still strong candidates to make it to the final 4. Kenya will be fifth.

omg yay I've been waiting forevermore for Calderyon's recap <3

[Calderyon]

^You are welcome.

[Calderyon]

Last week it was a double whammy (double loss in this instance) for team Vortex with Shawn and Lorenzo getting fired.

First challenge Vortex lose because their event was more focused on the coffee shop than the actual display (imo, the Infinity one was much better than the Vortex one, more theme based and informative) and the second one, because their marketing video was more of a traditional commercial and not a viral video, like it was supposed to have been. (Imo, they were both pure and utter ****, but i guess Infinity´s video was more to true to the rules of challenge, so i guess they deserved the win)


Shawn was fired first. She was fired because she didn´t stepped up as the pm and her heart was not in it anymore.

Lorenzo went second, because he directed and produced the commercial through and through and felt there wasn´t anyone other he could have blamed upon.

It´s looking more and more a rematch between Geraldo and Ian on the final 2 challenge.
