Michelle Sorro was doomed from the start. Mostly, this was warranted. Before the boardroom even got into full swing on this episode of The Apprentice, Michelle up and quit the show. Trump lectured her in a pretty hardcore manner, basically ripping her to shreds in front of her entire team. She cited living in the tents and that the show wasn't what she expected as her reasons for quitting. The episode began with a short recap of last week's episode that focused almost completely on how much Michelle was disliked by her teammates. The episode got going when both teams were taken to Loews Hotel in Santa Monica. The winning team (Team Kinetic) was given a day of pampering; lounging by the pool, massages, drinks with umbrellas. Team Arrow was broken into two separate teams by the Donald. Aaron spoke and offered to be one of the team captains. Trump then put Michelle on the spot, asking her if she wanted to be the other captain. She had no choice but to say yes.
The task: devise a Hollywood-centric tour route for a double-decker bus. These star tours, all so common in Hollywood, would be judged based on a post-tour focus group. Michelle's team got off to a horrendous start. As the episode went on, she proved to be a first-class waffler, someone who lacked confidence in her decisions. Aaron's team hired Lakers Girls to join the tour, and created a nice route and proved to be adept tour guides. Michelle's team had a ho-hum route and had difficulties with their bus's microphone as well as the simple interaction with the tourists. Aaron's team won going away and, almost immediately, Michelle spoke up and offered her resignation. Weird episode. Michelle seemed destined to be fired from the start, but I suppose her quitting was a nice little surprise. The preview for next week's The Apprentice saw Trump really bring the hammer down on someone. Which, as always, should be fun. We'll be back tomorrow morning with an interview with Michelle Sorro. -Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer
