Wow, I have seen self-destruction of biblical proportions before, but nothing like what Elizabeth experienced on last night’s Apprentice. The task was to create an ad campaign to entice young men (and women, but no one even addressed that demographic) to join the NYPD. I think my idea was great…use the intro to Law & Order and instead of “these are their stories” at the end, say, “Be part of the stories.” Bom-BOM! Took about ten seconds to come up with…use a little “ripped from the headlines” action…badda boom, badda bing! Keep Dennis Farina away from the camera, though. Please.

I’ll grudgingly give Andy a small, itty bitty, teensy tiny prop for doing an okay job…BUT…let me follow that statement up with the fact that they had a good idea and the team fell into place on what needed to be done. I just have a hard time supporting Andy because he’s a snot-nosed 22-year old who may have good ideas but he hasn’t been kicked around enough in the corporate world (who? me?) to be able to handle a team. In debates you go up against one person…not a team. But I digress…his team moves along and comes up with an ad campaign that’s actually quite good. “What have you done lately…?” They used real members of the NYPD to pull at the heartstrings. I did wonder though, where exactly Maria was going in her desperate attempts to inject a little more sex appeal?
