The problem with this group is that NOBODY is showing themselves to be phenomenal. Whoever turns out to be in the F4 will only have proven themselves to be adequate enough to bypass the others, but is there a star here? If there is, I'm not seeing it. You nailed it 100%.

You did what you wanted to do. If you feel this was a right move, do not talk about it. Just move on and tell the other girls to do the same. Allie ..... for some reason she annoys me. If I had a wife like that..., no, I'd never have a wife like that ... will I? I hope not, I'll kill my self. Lee is a "politician". I think that he should have let it all out and told it like it is that Charmaine screwed up. Instead he looked like a fool trying to avoid answering anything. Lee .... how can I hire you if you do this to me? Donald. Charmaine was awful. What was the plan??? To give out fliers? Are you kidding me? You were chosen to be on the Apprentice and then you place your entire strategy on fliers. Wow ... what are the producers thinking about there. Disappointing. Then she gets her hair done ... she should have been fired by her team. Even though Tarek "sucked" at many tasks, it was not his fault they lost the last task so I wouldn't get rid of him just yet. The reason Trump is firing more than 1 person at a time shows that the show is losing popularity. He is cutting it's time by doing this. Not enough advertisers??? Something is wrong. What would I do??? Well, thinking on the spot and not taking 2 hours to brainstorm ... 1) Get the close by businesses involved. Let them give a Discount Card to every purchase with a special Promotion just for their customers. Put a deadline. 2) Dress up the store front. Make it look like an event. 3) SELL PRODUCTS!!! The other team hit the nail. 4) If I had time I'd do direct mail. 5) How about telling people they'll be on TV? If this would be allowed I'd take advantage of this. 6) Give out prizes for every haircut... something. These are some things that flew into my head in 3 minutes. None of these ideas are phenomenal, but they are better than just giving out fliers. I think Lee will be flying out in 1-2 weeks. Michael will definitely not be an apprentice. Allie ....... can I fire her? My top 3 are Roxanne, Tammy, Sean. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end it will be Tammy against Sean. Maybe that's why they are building this "relationship" story on us between the two? Stoney … doesn’t your final 4 change every week? ;-)

Lee is a “politician”. I think that he should have let it all out and told it like it is that Charmaine screwed up. Instead he looked like a fool trying to avoid answering anything. Lee …. how can I hire you if you do this to me? Donald.
