Muna Heaven, who was born in Jamaica, became the tenth contestant fired from this season's edition of The Apprentice.  Muna is an incredibly gifted and outgoing individual and, while occasionally grating, is an outspoken leader.  Muna was kind enough to speak with us this morning about her time on the show.

BuddyTV: Can you just explain a little bit about the overall experience for you on The Apprentice; how you got started, how, looking back, the experience treated you?


Muna: Well, I guess my overall take on it was I went in with the idea that it would be a huge adventure, which is what it turned out to be.  The highs are very high and the lows are well, you know, not so pleasant.  But overall I really thought that it was a remarkable experience, down to the very last second.  I don’t know if I could have asked for a better Boardroom, you know, all things considered.  If Mr. Trump is giving you a compliment on your way out, there are worse things in life.


A little bit about the task last night; filming those soap opera webisodes, do you wish you had stayed behind the camera? What would you have done differently?

I do wish that we would have had an opportunity to really hear it because, you know, I don’t know.  I tell you what, to be quite frank, I had been the public speaker and the presenter on many of the tasks and my accent was only an advantage, only ever seen as strength.  And I do wish that I had known beforehand that it would not come across that way.  Obviously I would have taken the measures to make sure that it did.  But you know hindsight will get you every time.  I wouldn’t take it back though because I learned so much.  I learned so much from what happened.  If it didn’t happen that way I wouldn’t have had the Boardroom that I did and there’s not one thing that I’m not proud of, you know?


The last few episodes at least, on your team there seemed to be a little conflict between you and some of the other girls.  Was that kind of played up or was that how it really was?

No, no, no. That’s really how it was.  They certainly don’t make up anything at least, The Apprentice production team is phenomenal and what you see is what you get.  I mean, obviously, there’s a whole lot of footage that you don’t see because it’s a limited amount of time that they have to present the story.  But when the stakes get high and, you know, we all want to win, and then it pulls the best and worst out of people.  I think that too is learning how to manage under the stress; do you break, do you lash out at people; do keep focused on the task?  All of those things speak to ones character, you know?  But I mean conflict; it’s a part of life right?  It is what it is.  I thought it worked out in the end.
