'''''The Apprentice: Los Angeles''''' is the sixth installment of the US version of '''''[[The Apprentice (US TV Series)|The Apprentice]]''''' reality television show. It was confirmed on [[November 30]], [[2005]]. Like the other Apprentice seasons, [[Donald Trump]] is the executive producer and host in his quest to hire a sixth apprentice. In a departure from the previous five ''[[The Apprentice|Apprentice]]'' shows, this one was shot in [[Los Angeles, California]]. As with seasons 2-5, ''The Apprentice: Los Angeles'' features 18 contestants (whom Trump calls "candidates").<br/>
 
*[[David Evans (composer)]] (1874-1948)
[[Ivanka Trump]] made her debut as a full-time boardroom judge this season (replacing [[Carolyn Kepcher]], who was recently fired.).<ref name="TrumpdumpsCarolyn">{{cite news | first = Richard | last = Johnson | coauthors= | title=Trump dumps his firing-squad aide Carolyn | date= [[2006-08-31]]| publisher= New York Post | url =http://www.nypost.com/seven/08312006/commentary/trump_dumps_his_firing_squad_aide_carolyn_commentary_richard_johnson.htm | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2006-09-01 | language = }}</ref> [[Donald Trump Jr.]] also made his debut as a full-time judge.

===Episode 1 - To Have and Have Not===
*'''Airdate''': [[January 7]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' The applicants were required to construct a tent as so they could determine how they worked along; this also served to determine which two candidates were to be the first project managers (Heidi and Frank). Subsequent teams were selected by a schoolyard pick.
*'''Task sponsor''': None
*'''Task scope''': Each team was assigned a car wash to run for a day. The teams could use any method to try earning the most sales.
*'''Kinetic project manager''': Heidi
*'''Arrow project manager''': Frank
*'''Winning team''': Kinetic
**'''Reasons for win''': The team immediately got to work, using signs on cardboard boxes and arranging for a free lunch (hot dog and soda) with every car wash. They also took advantage of the demographics of [[West Hollywood]], hiring shirtless guys to hold the signs and to attract customers.
**'''Reward''': Dinner at Spago with [[Wolfgang Puck]], Donald, Melania, and Ivanka Trump
*'''Losing team''': Arrow
**'''Reasons for loss''': Frank ran off early with another team member to attempt to make signs, leaving the rest of the team short on manpower. The price point of $10 for a basic wash, set by Frank after a brief discussion at the start of the task, may have been too low, as the team only lost by less than $120. Martin was shown to not contribute as much as other members of the team.
**'''Task epilogue:''' "Team Frank" had to set up a second tent after their loss was announced.
**'''Sent to boardroom''': Frank, Martin, and Tim
**'''Firing verdict''': Tim was told to go back to the losers' tent after Trump announced Tim not responsible for the loss. Most of his team felt that Frank did not make some smart decisions but agreed he had the drive and the passion for the show. Martin was found to be annoying and a poor contributor by most of his team.
***Ivanka was a heavy contributor to his decision to fire Martin, pointing out his inability to work well with others and her not seeing him ever being able to fit into a business like structure that the job would require in addition to a couple of unprofessional flaws Ivanka spotted during the first 5-15 minutes of the show. Trump agreed.
*'''Fired''': Martin by process of elimination. Trump determined that both Frank and Martin performed poorly and contributed to the loss with their fatal mistakes. Trump stated that Martin would fit better within the fields of a professor or lawyer as opposed to a business executive for the Trump organization.
**'''Postmortem:''' While deciding between Frank and Martin, Trump remarked that this was one of his toughest decisions in the history of the show.
*'''Notes'''
**The season premiere aired for 90 minutes. The full episode can currently be seen on the [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week1_videos.html#1636492 Yahoo! Apprentice site].
**Although the teams at the time the episode aired were identified by names of their inaugural project manager, the team names were identified throughout the opening credits.
***Kinetic, at the time the episode aired, was called "Team Heidi."
***Arrow, at the time the episode aired, was called "Team Frank."
 
===Episode 2 - Pink is the New Black===
*'''Airdate''': [[January 14]], [[2007]]
*'''Task sponsor''': [http://www.trinaturk.com Trina Turk]
*'''Task scope''': Each team was tasked to create a line of swimsuits (3 womens, 3 mens) for Trina Turk. The team with the most sales following a runway show (with the contestants as their own models) of the swimsuit line would win.
*'''Kinetic project manager''': Heidi
*'''Arrow project manager''': Nicole
*'''Winning team''': Kinetic
**'''Reasons for win''': The team stayed with a conservative line of swimsuits as noted by the buyers, in contrast to Arrow's line, and primarily won due to Arrow's missteps. Kinetic earned $20,011.
**'''Reward''': An opportunity to meet up with ''[[Playboy]]'' founder [[Hugh Hefner]] and enjoy a pool party with his [[The Girls Next Door|girlfriends]] and several of the [[Playmate]]s at his [[The Playboy Mansion|Mansion]].
***Playmates that appeared during this episode's pool party reward are as follows: [[Alison Waite]], [[Christine Smith (model)|Christine Smith]], [[Cassandra Lynn]], [[Athena Lundberg]], [[Karen McDougal]], and others.
**'''''Apprentice first:''''' As Trump promised, ''all of Kinetic'' will be exempt from the third task.
*'''Losing team''': Arrow
**'''Reasons for loss''': Carey, in charge of the design of the mens swimsuits, insisted on making them too short and in colors and prints that would appeal to primarily only gay men, as noted by many of his teammates; one particularly was pink, very short, and revealed "[[too much information]]" when worn by Carey himself. As a result, the buyers at the fashion show bought less than $400 of the male swimsuit line (out of a total $19,616 in sales).
**'''Sent to boardroom''': Nicole, Carey, and Michelle
**'''Firing verdict''': Nicole brought up Carey's insistence on his designs and the lack of their appeal to the majority of the population. Other team members noted that Nicole, as PM, approved of Carey's designs despite her own questionable opinion of them. Carey defended his design selection, alluded to in the episode title, "Pink is [[the new black]]", and also pointed to Nicole's poor management.
*'''Fired:''' Carey for his critical design flaws and poor decisions throughout the task.
**Trump permitted Carey to keep the pink swimsuit he wore for the show as a parting gift before Trump fired Carey.
**Nicole was not held responsible for the loss since she motivated her team, met task deadlines, and held the team together.
**Michelle was not held responsible for the loss as per the final boardroom.
*'''Notes:'''
**Both Derek and Carey revealed that they are gay during this episode.
**For the first time, the team names seen prior in the opening credits were officially used in this episode. Unaired footage available from the Apprentice web site shows the teams selecting their respective names after the return of Frank from the boardroom last week (Week 1) and prior to the start of the task this week.
** The second episode can be seen [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week2_videos.html#1658885 here].
 
===Episode 3 - Hollywood Walk of Shame===
*'''Airdate:''' [[January 21]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue'''
**Kinetic didn't have to participate in this task since they earned the show's first-ever team exemption from week 2.
**Since Kinetic didn't have to participate, they spent an evening at [[Loews Hotels|Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel]]
**Arrow was split into two teams, with Aaron voluntarily and Michelle on Trump's discretion stepping up as Project Managers and to select their teams. Aaron's team included James and Stefani, while Michelle's team included Nicole, Frank, and Tim.
*'''Task sponsor''': [http://www.starlinetours.com/ Starline Tours of Hollywood] and [http://www.loewshotels.com/en/Hotels/Santa-Monica-Beach-Hotel/Overview.aspx Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel]
*'''Task scope''': Each team was to design a unique Hollywood bus tour. The winner would be the team that had the best approval ratings from the tour bus customers.
*'''Team Aaron project manager''': Aaron
*'''Team Michelle project manager''': Michelle
*'''Winning team''': Team Aaron
**'''Reasons for win''': The team came up with a plan to use the Los Angeles [[Laker Girls]] to entice people onto the bus, and based on a pre-tour evaluation of the tour, offered water and snacks and provided a well-rounded tour experience with a high approval rating of 82% from the customers.
**''There was no reward for this task'' since both factions had to compete against each other and were required to remain in the tents regardless of the outcome.
*'''Losing team''': Team Michelle
**'''Reasons for loss''': Michelle and her team did not sleep the day before the tour, which made the tour route not well planned and highly repetitive (based on customer comments). Problems with the microphone arose, which annoyed the customers. The team received an average approval rating of 58% from customers.
**'''Sent to boardroom''': No boardroom sessions
***'''Reasons for foregoing a boardroom session:''' Michelle tendered her resignation immediately after the task results were revealed. Trump canceled the end-of-task boardroom sessions figuring that Michelle's resignation meant that she was primarily responsible for the defeat, thus sparing the rest of her team from judgment.
*'''Quit''': Michelle at her discretion. Michelle determined that she did not care anymore about the job interview, and thus decided to tender her resignation after the results were tabulated. She stated that she did not expect herself to sleep in tents when her team loses and she cannot stand it anymore. Trump lectured Michelle about how quitting was an extremely bad decision but accepted Michelle's resignation.
*'''Notes:'''
**No special team names were given to the sub-teams of Arrow, and thus are identified by their project managers.
**This is the second time that someone quit, and the first time as part of the normal Boardroom sequence. The first resignation occurred during [[The Apprentice 3 (Episode 3)#Verna's voluntary discharge|Season 3]].
**This is the first appearance of Donald Trump Jr. as a Boardroom member this season.
**This episode can be seen [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week3_videos.html#1643384 here]
 
===Episode 4 - Drive-Thru Duel===
*'''Airdate:''' [[January 28]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:'''
**Trump called both teams and instructed Kinetic to select volunteers to go over to Arrow in order to balance the teams. Surya, Aimee, and Marisa volunteered to join Arrow. Arrow decided on Surya as their new team member.
**[[Sean Yazbeck]], [[The Apprentice 5|Season 5]] Apprentice, filled in for Ivanka for this task.
*'''Task sponsor:''' [[El Pollo Loco]]<ref>[http://www.elpolloloco.com/company/press_text.asp?news_id=116 El Pollo Loco Apprentice press release]</ref>
*'''Task:''' Each team was to create a new menu item for the El Pollo Loco chain, and then run an El Pollo Loco store for a day to promote that item. The winning team was the one with the most sales (by dollar amount) of their new item.
*'''Kinetic Project Manager:''' Heidi
*'''Arrow Project Manager:''' Aaron
*'''Winning Team:''' Arrow
**'''Reasons for win:''' Arrow promoted their store with balloons and banners and also attempted to make "bulk sales" outside of the store; as a result, the store was constantly busy during the day, with one boss ordering 23 of their products for his employee's. Their total sales were $488.
**'''Reward:''' A private performance from [[Andrea Bocelli]] on the beach followed by a fireworks show.
*'''Losing Team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reasons for loss:''' Unlike Arrow, Kinetic had nearly no marketing advertising their dish and never saw a similar crowd as Arrow had. Potentially, their dish, combining chicken and fruit, may have also been considered unappealing, as stated by Trump. Their total sales were only $314.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' Heidi, Marisa, and Aimee
***'''Key firing points:''' Marisa was blamed by her team for seemingly sticking to a single idea of having two people in chicken outfits to advertise their item, and unable to come up with any other marketing plan. Sean, as viceroy, also noted that the task was lost by marketing, which Marisa was in charge of for Kinetic.
*'''Fired:''' Marisa at the recommendation of Kinetic due to her being the weakest link in the team. The rest of the team unanimously cited reasons such as not listening to others and disrupting conversations.
**Trump stated that while Marisa's firing was a hard decision, he admits that he sometimes has to listen to the recommendation of others, mirroring what he did during the one-on-one interviews in the first 3 seasons.

===Episode 5 - To Bee or Not To Bee===
*'''Airdate:''' [[February 11]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:'''
**[[Sean Yazbeck]], [[The Apprentice 5|Season 5]] Apprentice, filled in for Ivanka for this task again.
**Donald Trump was away on business for the bulk of the task, including hearing the results and announcing the reward while in front of a crowd in [[Minnesota]], but was back for boardroom sessions.
*'''Task sponsors:''' [http://www.suebeehoney.com/ Sue Bee Honey] and [[Ralphs|Ralphs Supermarket]]
*'''Task:''' To harvest and package honey for Sue Bee Honey brands and to sell the harvested honey through assigned Ralphs supermarkets locations. The winner was the team that sold the most honey.
**'''Cliffhangers:''' During the harvesting event, the teams had to put up with angry bees to "grab" the honey needed for the actual sales of the honey. Kinetic was faced with having a couple of bumps on the road with some honey not on shelves while Arrow was bogged down by lacking honey sales.
***Derek got stung by a bee when he went harvesting honey with his team members
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Aimee
*'''Arrow project manager:''' Aaron
*'''Winning Team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reasons for win:''' Kinetic had a good marketing strategy, with Derek creating a buzz with the bee suit, Angela with the slogan "Olympic Gold honey" since she was an Olympic winner, and Aimee's signage outside the supermarket labled "Today is HONEY DAY". The price of each honey bottle is $4.99, buy 2 for $5. The team sold a total of 345 bottles and earned $836.48 in sales.
**'''Reward:''' A basketball game against and training with basketball legends [[Kareem Abdul-Jabaar]], [[James Worthy]], [[Los Angeles Lakers]] coach [[Phil Jackson]], and player [[Brian Cook]].
***'''Correction:''' In actuality, the Lakers are second to the [[Boston Celtics]] in NBA championships. (The Celtics have won 16, while the Lakers have won 14.) Trump, apparently unaware of the Celtics' record, inaccurately claimed that the Lakers had won more NBA championships than any other team.
*'''Losing Team:''' Arrow
**'''Reasons for loss:''' Aaron performed poorly as a project manager, there was no marketing strategy (such as signage) which Aaron claimed was Surya's responsibility, and Tim and Nicole were unsuccessful at any bulk sales. The offer of the honey bottles was "buy two, get one free." The team sold a total of 217 bottles and earned a total of $775.48 in sales.
*'''Pre-boardroom:''' Derek tells Aimee to help Surya in the boardroom
*'''Initial Boardroom:''' The developing relationship between Tim and Nicole was announced by Frank to everyone at the first Boardroom, including Trump.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' Aaron, Surya, and Nicole
***'''Boardroom tension:''' Aaron reveals that Surya was a brand manager for [[Procter & Gamble]] and he blames Surya for the loss due to the lack of marketing strategy
***'''Key firing points:''' Trump reflected Aaron's lack of input in the previous week's boardroom in addition to a couple of key flaws Trump and Surya pointed out. Although Nicole was brought to judgment, was not held liable for the loss since she did her best as far as bulk sales are concerned.
*'''Fired:''' Aaron for leaving the tasks to his subordinates intentionally, weak leadership, poor strategy, and not helping the team during the supermarket portion of the task.
**Surya did poorly due to his marketing strategies, but Trump decided to give Surya a second chance.
*'''Notes:'''
**Unless Trump forbids, the opposing teams are apparently allowed to communicate with each other over the hedge that separates Tent City from the pool area that is part of the mansion, as shown by two scenes during the show.

===Episode 6 - Travel Sweepstakes Smackdown===
*'''Airdate:''' [[February 18]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' Irritated at the false testimony from the last boardroom, Surya opted to step up as project manager for the next task. The teams arrive at [[Los Angeles International Airport]] to receive their next task.
*'''Task sponsors:''' [[Priceline.com]]
*'''Task:''' Teams were required to set up a kiosk at their assigned [[Westfield Shoppingtown]] malls, and then to get people to sign up for Priceline.com. The team with the most sign-ups over a 2 hour period (during lunch hours) would win the task.
**'''Change of judges:''' For the first part of the task, two Priceline.com executives observed the teams.
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Aimee
*'''Arrow project manager:''' Surya
*'''D-Day prologue:''' After the two Priceline.com executives gave Trump feedback, Donald Trump, Jr. took over the executives' place as the "close-of-task" judge.
*'''Winning Team:''' Arrow
**'''Reasons for win:''' Several members, particularly Frank, were very aggressive on driving customers to their kiosk. They were able to sign up 359 people.
**'''Reward:''' A private surfing lesson with professional and world-renowned surfers ([[Pat O'Connell]] and [[Lisa Anderson (sportswoman)|Lisa Andersen]]) in [[Santa Monica, California|Santa Monica]] beach and brunch at [[Gladstone's of Malibu|Gladstone's]].
***'''''Apprentice first:''''' While Nicole was thought to have suffered an ankle injury due to increasing waves, a hospital visit concluded that Nicole was stung by a [[jellyfish]]. Tim escorted Nicole to the hospital, prompting the two to skip their visit to Gladstones. This eventually led to a romance between Tim and Nicole after the reward as Tim and Nicole of Arrow were showing each other affection near the pool.
*'''Losing Team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reasons for loss:''' Though Derek and Jenn were told that the mall had about a 50% Hispanic consumer base from a mall executive, they did not relay this number to Aimee figuring that the demographics of the mall were obvious to anyone that was walking through it. As a result, they were not prepared to handle both the verbal and written language barrier at their kiosk, despite Derek and Muna being able to help with the language. They were only able to get 326 people to sign up.
*'''Pre-boardroom:''' Trump asked the executives' opinion on the task (whether who should get fired or who stood up). Both executives' compliment Derek and Muna's use of [[Spanish language|Spanish]] since many people at the mall do not understand [[English language|English]].
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' Aimee, Derek, and Jenn
***'''Key firing points:''' Trump took time to bring up a couple of issues including but not limited to the following: Aimee not understanding the mall demographic, Derek and Jenn not making Aimee aware of the mall demographic, the fact that Aimee refuses to hear from her subordinates during certain times, and Aimee's weak overall leadership.
*'''Fired:''' Aimee for not understanding the demographics of the mall's frequent visitors, and not listening to her team for suggestions.
*'''Notes:'''
**This is the first time a sponsor served as an in-task judge before Donald Trump Jr. took over as verdict judge.

===Episode 7 - Life in the Luxury Lane===
*'''Airdate:''' [[March 4]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' [[Randal Pinkett]], [[The Apprentice (US Season 4)|Season 4 Apprentice]], served as a substitute boardroom judge.
*'''Task sponsors:''' [[Lexus]]
*'''Task:''' Teams were to create an event for Lexus VIP customers to present the features of the new [[Lexus LS 460]]. The team with the best rating from the event customers wins the task.
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Jenn
*'''Arrow project manager:''' Surya
*'''Winning Team:''' Arrow
**'''Reasons for Win:''' The team promoted the concept of luxury properly and allowed their guests to either take a look at the Lexus LS 460's features or to just simply take a test drive of the LS 460. Arrow received an overall rating score of 94 points (out of 100) from the attendees.
**'''Reward:''' A chance to participate in creating a freestyle rap with [[Snoop Dogg]].
***Apparently, James and Frank did all the rapping and Surya was left in a corner, watching them rap without contributing.
*'''Losing Team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reasons for Loss:''' The team had less signage, utilized go-karts and an illusionist for crowd entertainment, which were out-of-place for the Lexus brand. The presentation was also shaky and flawed. They also promoted the concept of luxury improperly. They received an overall rating score of 84 points (out of 100) from the attendees.
***Randal, who admits to owning a Lexus vehicle in Yahoo's uncut boardroom battle clips, brought up the go-kart blunder.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' No final boardroom.
***'''Reason for not holding a final boardroom session:''' Trump indicated that he "did not want to waste time." Despite Jenn earning her team's respect, Trump had enough information to hold her liable for the loss (regardless of whom she would have selected to accompany her in the final boardroom).
*'''Fired:''' Derek for his unprofessional behavior before the final intermission (he jokingly referring to himself as "[[white trash]]," to which Trump took offense), and Jenn at the end of the show for poor decision-making throughout the task, allowing for ideas like the go-karts to be approved.
**After Jenn's firing, Trump commented on his displeasure with Angela's poor performance in this task.
*'''Notes:'''
**Effective this episode, ''The Apprentice 6'' moved to 10 pm ET/PT, 9 pm CT/MT on NBC.
**This was the first time that a candidate was fired in the middle of an ongoing boardroom session.
**This episode can be seen [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week7_videos.html#1643614 here].
 
===Episode 8 - Bend It Like Donald===
*'''Airdate:''' [[March 11]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' Realising that Kinetic has been decimated, Kristine opted to step up as project manager to bring the team back to its winning track, hoping that herself, Muna, Heidi, and Angela will be the final four.
*'''Task sponsor:''' [[GNC]]
*'''Task scope:''' Each team was to create a short halftime show promoting the GNC brand at a [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] [[soccer]] game. The team with the best show, as determined by GNC's vice president of marketing, would win the task.
**This halftime show took place during the Los Angeles Galaxy's confrontation with the [[Houston Dynamo]] on [[June 24]], [[2006]]. This game happened to be during the [[World Cup]] and both teams were without star players.<ref name="LAGalaxyhalftime"> {{cite web | title = Apprentice 6 candidates reportedly performed halftime infomercial at LA Galaxy game| url = http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_apprentice_6/2006_Jun_26_galaxy_halftime_show | publisher = reality blurred | accessdate = 2007-01-13 }} </ref>
**Based on reports of people that attended this game, the crowd was asked after both presentations to indicate which show they preferred using colored placards underneath their seats.<ref>e.g. [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3114632&view=findpost&p=5545804 Report from attendee the night of the game] and [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3152127&view=findpost&p=7362653 Report from attendee of Dynamo-Galaxy game after seeing this episode]</ref> These reports also indicate that the challenge was not well received by the fans.
**[[Bill Rancic]], [[The Apprentice (US Season 1)|the original Apprentice]], filled-in for Ivanka as a substitute judge.
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Kristine
*'''Arrow project manager:''' Surya
*'''Task cliffhangers:''' Muna started to lash out against Kristine at certain points of the task. Surya started to lose the respect of his entire team.
*'''Winning team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reason for win:''' Per GNC's vice president of marketing, Kinetic promoted the GNC brand closely, and the crowd apparently liked Kinetic's show.
**'''Reward:''' Golfing with Trump and the head of TaylorMade Golf, Mark King, at Trump's own golfing greens in Los Angeles (Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles). As an additional reward, Kinetic also get to take home a full set of golfing clubs from [http://www.taylormadegolf.com Taylor Made] based on the Donald J. Trump signature collection.
***Trump thought that Angela was the strongest golfer aloft, since she had the advantage by playing hockey. Trump was surprised that Kristine, Heidi, and Muna did well.
***Trump also commented that the last time he went golfing with the contestants from ''[[The Apprentice 5]]'', he commented that the team weren't stars due to their losing record.
*'''Losing team:''' Arrow
**'''Reason for loss:''' Per GNC's vice president of marketing, Arrow did not promote the GNC brand well, and presented a difficult [[boxing]] story to follow.
**'''Pre-boardroom:''' Surya said he regretted leaving Kinetic for Arrow, and communicated behind the trees for advice from Angela and Muna. The executive from GNC thought that the project manager should be fired for this task. Bill thought that Surya will be a target in the boardroom but James and Tim should be held liable to loss since Tim made up the confusing concept and James being difficult for the team to focus.
**'''Initial boardroom tension:''' Although Surya defended himself by repeatedly mentioning his 5-2 team record, Arrow held Surya liable for the loss.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' Surya, James, and Tim
***'''Firing points:''' Surya said that he's a good follower, but per Trump the Apprentice would have to be a leader rather than a follower. Tim was responsible for coming up with the losing idea for the project. Surya held James liable for being disloyal and very hard to work with during this task.
***Bill acknowledged the fact that James always "covered his ass" by changing his ideas at the last minute.
*'''Fired:''' Surya at Trump's discretion. Per Trump the criteria for the Apprentice was to be a good leader, a good listener, and a good problem-solver.
**Trump believed that it was a very tough decision to make, with all of the team members rooting against Surya. Nonetheless, Trump said with the fire and attitude Surya possesses, he will have great success in the future.
**Surya commented that 95% of the time he felt like an outsider and this show shows that the best person does not always win.
*'''Notes:'''
**This is the first episode of ''The Apprentice 6'' in which Bill Rancic appeared.

===Episode 9 - Soap Gets In Your Eyes===
*'''Airdate:''' [[March 18]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' James becomes Arrow's project manager due to his belief that it's either "now or never."
*'''Task Sponsor:''' [[Dial (company)|Dial Soap]]
*'''Task:''' Each team was to create and direct a [[webisode]] soap opera featuring a new Soft Scrub bathroom cleaner. The best webisode as determined by Dial Soap executives would win the task.
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Kristine
*'''Arrow project manager:''' James
*'''Winning team:''' Arrow
**'''Reason for win:''' Although Arrow had a weak storyline and cliffhanger, they explained the product well. To watch Arrow's webisode, click [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week9_videos.html#1643822 here].
**'''Reward:''' A private flight by [http://www.bluestarjets.com/ Blue Star Jets] to [[Sacramento]] to meet [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] for tea and to hear his story of his success.
*'''Losing team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reason for loss:''' According to the Dial Soap executives, even though Kinetic had a good cliffhanger and a good webisode, the team couldn't get the information out well enough due to Muna's heavy accent. Kinetic had to cut out the parts that presented the most information on the brand because they were difficult to understand. To watch Kinetic's webisode, click [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week9_videos.html#1643821 here].
*'''Pre-boardroom:''' Muna was seen reading the [[Bible]] whereas Kristine was reading Trump's book, ''Trump: The Art of the Deal''. Kristine commented on how Muna should not be reading the Bible since God is not the one making the decision in the boardroom. The executives could not comment on who should get fired since they only saw Muna and Heidi acting. However, one of the executives thought that the person directing should be held responsible for the loss since that person can see if the consumer will understand the webisode.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' No final boardroom.
***'''Boardroom risks:''' Muna asked Heidi if Heidi would rather keep Muna or Kristine on the team. Heidi hesitatingly selected Kristine.
*'''Fired:''' Muna by process of elimination. Most of Muna's dialogue was inarticulate and incomprehensible in the team's final webisode product.
**Trump acknowledged that Kristine's absence during the early part of shooting and the general resulting effort of the team made his choice difficult between firing Kristine or Muna. Muna herself asked her teammates which of the two should not be fired. Both Heidi and Angela selected Kristine.
*'''Notes:'''
**After Muna's firing, Heidi said that choosing between Kristine and Muna was the hardest thing she had ever done in her life.
**This episode can be seen [http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/episodes/week9_videos.html#1643829 here].
 
===Episode 10 - Girls on Rollerskates===
*'''Airdate:''' [[March 25]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' Trump directed James to send a member of Arrow to Kinetic since Kinetic was "decimated." With no volunteers, and with James stating that Frank and Stefani were invaluable to him, he selected Nicole. Nicole felt this choice was personal to send her to team Kinetic and said she will do anything to win this task to show James that he is wrong. With Tim and Nicole now on opposite teams, the two had several discussions throughout the episode over the hedge separating the pool from Tent City. The teams meet up at the [[Grauman's Chinese Theatre]] with Trump and Ivanka.
*'''Task sponsor:''' [[Universal Studios Hollywood]]
*'''Task:''' Teams had to sell special on-the-spot front-of-the-line passes and discount season passes at [[Universal Studios Hollywood]] theme park using Adwalker, an advertising and media platform worn by its operators. The winning team would be the one with the most sales.
**As noted by James, this was the first task in this season where both teams had to compete in the same area for sales.
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Angela
*'''Arrow project manager:''' James
*'''Winning team:''' Arrow
**'''Reason for win:''' Arrow used a fixed booth with signage and offers of free water bottles with the sale to draw customers at the entrance to the park. They also aggressively went after customers that were waiting in line to talk to Kinetic players and were able to take the business away from Kinetic. They earned over $32,000 in sales.
**'''Reward:''' A private helicopter ride above Los Angeles
*'''Losing team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reason for loss:''' The members of Kinetic, while using some sex appeal and being more mobile by being on roller skates, lacked a selling presence due to virtually no signage and were not as aggressive as Arrow in soliciting customers. The team sold approximately $7,000 less than Arrow.
***Nicole predicted correctly that Arrow would be using large signs and sales pitches during Kinetic's brainstorming session for this task, and argued they needed to do something to counter it. This eventually resulted in the idea for using roller skates to be increase mobility.
*'''Pre-boardroom:''' After James told his team that he will be going after the person who came up with the roller-skates idea (Nicole), Tim told Nicole that throught the hedges. This causes some disloyalty in Tim's part.
**'''Boardroom tension:''' After both teams heard the results, Kinetic was upset with Arrow's aggressive tactics of "stealing" customers away, but Trump dismissed this as being strictly business. Angela continued to argue this in her defense during the boardroom, though admitted that it would have not countered the entire $7,000 difference in sales.
***Angela pointed out that Nicole was the one who came up with the roller skating idea.
***James said that Nicole was the weakest link in his team out of members from Arrow.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' No final boardroom
*'''Fired:''' Angela for poor quality leadership and for not defending herself properly per Ivanka. Trump ultimately held Angela liable for the loss since he could not fire anyone else.
**'''Postmortem:''' Nicole told Trump to request Tim to transfer over to Kinetic, but Trump said Tim was disloyal and that Nicole should dump him.
*'''Notes:'''

===Episode 11 - Shut Your Smartmouth===
*'''Airdate:''' [[April 1]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' Tim's loyalty has been questioned ever since the eve of Angela's firing.
*'''Task sponsor:''' [[SmartMouth]]
*'''Task:''' Teams were to create an insert for the [[Los Angeles Times]] newspaper for [[SmartMouth]] mouthwash, with access to a photo shooting session and print services. The team with the best insert as judged by the SmartMouth executives would win the task.
*'''Kinetic project manager:''' Heidi
*'''Arrow project manager:''' James
*'''Winning team:''' Kinetic
**'''Reason for win:''' According to the executives, the team used an eye-catching shape to their insert, focused on the use of the product throughout the day, and kept the message clear and simple.
***'''Solid performance recognition:''' The SmartMouth executives used Kinetics' insert as their ad in the next run of the Los Angeles Times.
**'''Reward:''' An in-mansion visit with their significant others (Kristine's husband, and Heidi's and Nicole's mothers), including a meal prepared by Kristine's husband, [http://www.ludolefebvre.com/ Ludovic Lefebvre], who is a well-renown chef in the Los Angeles area <ref>[http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/rising_stars/2006/la/html/bio_l_febvre.shtml StarChefs.com Ludovic Lefebvre Biography]</ref>
***This was the first time Heidi's mother went to [[California]]
*'''Losing team:''' Arrow
**'''Reason for loss:''' According to the executives, the team had a complicated and ineffective brochure. The front page made the people look like they were tired (as opposed to needing mouthwash), and the scientific chart was difficult for people to understand.
*'''Pre-boardroom:''' Tim met Nicole and her mother through the hedges, with Nicole commenting her mother being the most loyal person she met. Nicole asked her mother for advice about her and Tim's relationship but ultimately, her mother told her to focus on the tasks. The executives thought that James was a good leader and Stefani being confident and presented herself well for the presentation.
**'''Boardroom drama:''' Trump told Arrow to compare their ad with Kinetic's ad. In addition, Trump and Ivanka jointly grilled Arrow due to a number of fatal errors.
***'''No action:''' Neither James nor Stefani were liable for the loss per Trump's findings.
***'''Disciplinary action:''' Frank made a number of errors during the making of the ad, and Tim displayed disloyalty per James. Of the two James would keep, he chose Frank.
**'''Sent to boardroom:''' No final boardroom
*'''Fired:''' Tim for being disloyal to his team and for allowing a relationship to distract him from the business tasks.
**Per Trump the whole team performed poorly in this task.

===Episode 12 - Vegas, Baby!===
<!-- This task is not like your normal task: In this task, it's a pass-or-fail situation, so the ones who stays are the ones who pass the task, and the one to go are from the team who fails but also is held liable for the failure. - Vesther -->
*'''Airdate:''' [[April 8]], [[2007]]
*'''Prologue:''' Trump, through his LA Secretary Andi, conducted another twist: James, Stefani, and Frank were told to move to the mansion, but also split the teams in three teams of two people each&mdash;no project managers and no teams would ensue during the final two weeks of the interview. <ref name="Episodes 11 and 12 preview">{{cite press release | title = Upcoming episodes for NBC | publisher = NBC Universal Media Village | url = http://nbcumv.com/entertainment/listings_twoweek.nbc | accessdate = 2007-03-26}}</ref>
**The resulting teams were James and Stefani, Kristine and Nicole, and Heidi and Frank
**Kristine thought she was in Heidi's shadow since she always worked with her. To prove to Trump that she had her own strengths, Kristine paired up with Nicole.
**Both Heidi and Frank were the original PMs starting from week 1.
*'''Sponsor:''' No sponsor&mdash;internal promotion involving the second building of the [[Trump International Hotel and Tower (Las Vegas)|Trump Organization's Las Vegas Hotel and Tower]].
*'''Task:''' Each team was to prepare promotional materials for selling condominiums for the second tower to be constructed as part of the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Las Vegas. Teams had access to the demonstration suite and graphic artists to assist them. Trump would decide which team(s) would win and continue to the next task, and which would lose on this task.
**Donald "Don" Trump, Jr. is Trump's judge for this task.
**Trump initially stated that he would fire both members of the worst team on this task.
*'''Who passed the task:''' James and Stefani
**'''Reasons for success:''' As their presentation was first, Trump noted that both the presentation and additional material would be tough to beat by the other teams. Their theme was "The Height of Luxury". After the presentation, Heidi complimented it by saying she was "100% impressed".
*'''Reward:''' There are no rewards, with the exception that James and Stefani would be guaranteed to be in the final two weeks of the job interview.
*'''Who failed the task:''' Heidi and Frank; Kristine and Nicole
**'''Reasons for Kristine and Nicole's failure:''' Nicole had difficulty starting the video presentation, prompting Trump to ask James to help her get it going. Trump noticed that the phone number on the brochure for Kristine and Nicole was different from James and Stefani. Trump requested James and Nicole to step out and verify which one was correct, which turned out to be the one on James and Stefani's brochure. Their theme was "Las Vegas is Turning Gold".
***Trump noted that getting the number wrong was a critical error. Kristine admitted to using the wrong number.
***While Nicole was outside, Kristine argued to Trump that Nicole slept while she was designing the brochure. Kristine displayed lack of teamwork by talking poorly of her partner behind her back. Kristine thought of herself, and not of her team by picking Nicole over Heidi to work with in this final task because she thought she would be the star player of the two: herself and Nicole.
**'''Reasons for Frank and Heidi's failure:''' Frank and Heidi's presentation video did not have any sales point, unlike the other teams. Heidi stumbled and rushed through the 2 minute oral introduction before the video, which also did not include their sales point. Their brochure has no pictures and was only long text passaging, which Trump compared to a book and that no one would read it. Heidi seemed to lose her confidence in this task. Their theme was "World Class Amenities", but apparently, the presentation made this unclear and Heidi forgot to actually articulate this as the theme. Lack of a theme was a major criticism of the product.
**Heidi and Frank went head-to-head during their coercion and Frank chastised Heidi for changing the subject and for not being honest to Trump and Don Jr. Heidi revealed that the brochure was done 15 minutes before the boardroom session.
****Don, Jr. thought that Heidi was contradicting herself
**'''Change of heart:''' With Heidi/Frank and Kristine/Nicole failing the task, Trump opted to fire one from each team, holding the one fired liable for the failure of the task.
*'''Fired:''' Heidi for excessive dishonesty in the boardroom and Kristine for utilizing the wrong phone number on the brochure.
**Heidi stated the task failure was the worst in her career and she would 100% agree with Trump if Trump chose to fire her solely based on this task, which he did right after she said it.
**Kristine protested after Trump fired her without giving her a chance to defend herself, but Trump considered invoking an incorrect phone number on the brochure to be the critical reason to send Kristine home without delay. [http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2007/04/the_apprentice__2.html]
<!-- If you can tone down the POV a bit on Kristine's firing, then it would greatly help. Thanx!!! - Vesther -->
**Ironically, Randal, ''[[The Apprentice (US Season 4)|Season 4 Apprentice]]'', made a mistake similar to Kristine's.
*'''Notes:'''
**'''''Apprentice first:''''' The final two members from the original Kinetic were fired. As a result, this is the first time that the final four candidates consist of members from only one of the original teams (in this case, members of Arrow).
**Stefani becomes the first person to reach the final four without once being Project Manager on a task.
