When the players are given a high-stakes reward and a tough task, to get as many New Yorkers to call a 1-800 number in order to receive a free sample of Shania Twain's new fragrance, the competitiors get nasty, with Excel's two-man team sabotaging Capital Edge's Alla, Adam, and Felisha by buying their already-held megaphones. During the task, the teams devise very similar strategies to sell, hiring laborers to inform the city of New York about Shania's perfume by "wrapping" them in promotional posters, and the results come out very close. In fact, the megaphones may have made the difference between a win and a loss, seeing as how Excel only beats Capital Edge by five phone calls. While Rebecca and Randal enjoy a horseback ride and dinner with Shania Twain herself, the others face off in the boardroom, where Carolyn clearly voices her opinions about Felisha and Adam, naming them as the weakest left standing. Trump sends Project Manager Alla back up to the suite (an Apprentice first) and eventually fires Adam for wasting much of the budget on an ill-conceived idea.
Season 4 Episode 11 of The Apprentice (US) resulted in a 0.00 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
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?
