		<description>Not sure I agree about Lenny. He shows his strong points one week and his weaknesses the next.

Brent was an idiot. He might have actually done well as a PM, but we'll never know because he certainly did not do well as a follower.

You're right about the billboard, but at least both teams did relatively well on this task. Both the Sam's Club and Gillette tasks were disasters from a marketing perspective. Sam's Club they did nothing to attract new people into the store and Gillette, they did nothing to sell/market the product. Both of those tasks required bigger ideas than the teams presented.</description>

		<description>First off ... Lenny is a one funny guy, as well as smart (from what we are being shown).

Regarding the previous episode ... Brent proved to be an idiot. He forgot that this is The Apprentice and not a soap opera. He should go buy a book called "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie (hope I spelled that right).

Bottom line ... last episode was not that exciting. Billboard is a billboard and I don't know how you can be "one of the best" in business and not understand that you have about 3-6 seconds of attention with your billboard. IT's NOT DIRECT MAIL, you know.</description>
