Ever since I knew that Randal Pinkett was on the Apprentice, I have been drawn to the show every Thursday night. And why not? Randal is a friend of a friend and MIT alum. It is not often that one gets to root for someone on a reality show. Besides, I am also curious how a Sloanie would perform in the Apprentice. So far, Randal has been performing great; he played smart by solidifying his status early in the season by wining twice as project manager. But Randal was close to getting axed by Trump 3 episodes ago by having the wrong station number written on a poster during a presentation to the XM Radio executives. After falling out of favor with the Donald, Randal was all fired up to win back credibility. So Randal took the role of project manager, responsible for advertising Shania Twain's fragrance in last week's episode of the Apprentice. So aggressive was Randal in winning the task, he sabotaged the other team by buying over all megaphones (a critical hardware that made Randal win and the other team lost) that the opposite team had reserved at Radio Shack. The move was somewhat questionable but Randal was later praised by Trump for such move. Well, like they all say, it's all fair in love and business. Tonight, Randal has finally made it to the final 2. Both Randal and Rebecca - the woman on crutches - will be on the finale next week. I was hoping for a showdown between Randal and Alla - the 2 contestants whom I consider the strongest on the Apprentice. Too bad, Alla got fired tonight. Well, 50 bucks on Randal for becoming the Apprentice.
