This week's task is to pick one artist from an array of controversial and strange painters, sculptors, and other kinds of artists, and then sell the art at a gallery. At the end of the night, Versacorp blows Protege out of the water, selling 8 pieces for $13,600 to Protg Corporation's one piece for $869. As a reward for leading his team, Versacorp, to extreme success, Nick is awarded with 10 minutes alone with Mr. Trump, talking about the tricks of the trade. After a highly emotional board room, where Omarosa breaks down because of her "concussion," she becomes the 9th to be fired.

The Apprentice (US) Show Summary

The Apprentice is the ultimate job interview, where Americans compete in a series of rigorous business tasks, many of which include prominent Fortune 500 companies and require street smarts and intelligence to conquer, in order to show Donald Trump, the boss, that they are the best candidate for his companies.

In each episode, the losing team is sent to the boardroom, where Trump and his associates, Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross, and later, his children, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump, judge the job applicants on their performance in the task. One person is fired and sent home. Who will succeed? Who will fail? And who will be The Apprentice?
