0:00:02 > 0:00:03NARRATOR: 'Previously:
0:00:03 > 0:00:06'Mr Trump put each team's style sense to the test,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09'designing for the Ivanka Trump collection.'
0:00:09 > 0:00:13You'll be designing a living window display, you know what that is?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Oh, yeah.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17'From the start, the men questioned
0:00:17 > 0:00:19'project manager George Takei's focus.'
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- We have four windows.- Oh, really? I thought we were doing two windows.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm not sure that George is aware of what's going on.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28'On the women's team,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32'project manager Dayana Mendoza had a chance to prove herself.'
0:00:32 > 0:00:34We're going to need some of Ivanka's outfits.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38'But Debbie Gibson felt Aubrey O'Day was taking over.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Or we split it, if they're smaller,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42depending on whatever you guys decide.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43It was the Aubrey show.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'As presentation time grew near,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'Lou Ferrigno struggled to fit in on the men's team.'
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Lou, I don't want to be rude, but...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53There were too many cooks in the kitchen.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54No problem. OK.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55'While on the women's team,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58'a mishap threatened to derail everything.'
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Aubrey, the photos are not here.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03'But Aubrey came up with a quick fix to put them back on track.'
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The models walk out and then she's like, "Thank you so much,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- "these are my designs." - That's a good idea.- Can we do that?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11'On the men's team, Dee Snider returned from surgery...'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Whoa!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15'..just in time for the presentation.'
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ivanka Trump by day.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19We wanted to show the whole spectrum.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23'While on the women's team, Dayana was in her element.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27'That night, the women had their first taste of victory.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The women's team did a better job.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30- Yes!- Yeah!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33'Left to face Mr Trump...'
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Lou misunderstands directions often.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37'..Lou fought to stay in the game.'
0:01:37 > 0:01:40You're not aggressive enough to be a project manager.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'In the end, Mr Trump had to make a difficult decision.'
0:01:43 > 0:01:46You know who else has respect for you, George? Donald Trump.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50But George, you're fired. Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52'Leaving Arsenio and Lou shaken
0:01:52 > 0:01:55'from seeing their first team member fired.'
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Very impressive to see you girls pull together the way you did.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Thank you. - Congratulations, girls.- Cheers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- To fallopian tubing!- Cheers!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- DAYANA:- 'This is a win that we really needed.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17'We already lost the first two tasks,'
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and being the first project manager winning for my team,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23it just means, not for me
0:02:23 > 0:02:26but for all of us, finally, now we understand each other.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And now we listen to each other.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31We are finally a team, so we're ready, we're ready to go,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33we're ready to keep on winning.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Now you've got seven people who are strong, unified, focused.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43You can see it, the change. It was such a difference.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Uh-oh.- Yay!- Oh, boy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Well, we're glad you're here.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- LOU:- 'I feel bad because it's tough.'
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Wow.- Isn't it horrible to be in that room?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Other than someone dying, I can't tell you a time when I felt bad...
0:03:00 > 0:03:05I mean, I watched Mr Universe start to well up.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07'Being in the room when George got fired'
0:03:07 > 0:03:11was one of the most painful experiences I've ever had.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I never thought I'd ever be in a situation where I'd be
0:03:15 > 0:03:18sitting next to Lou Ferrigno who's crying.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21That lets you know how tough it was.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24He's a dignified guy, he took it very well.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Lou was more torn up than he was.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Oh, Lou.- Oh, Arsenio.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32LAUGHTER
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Let it all out! - Thank God for comedy.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Guys, whether you like it or not, I'm going to keep asking questions.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42If I get in the way, I'm going to fight and fight and be helpful.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- DEE:- 'The Trumps only know what's presented in the boardroom
0:03:48 > 0:03:53'and Lou has presented some go-getter,'
0:03:53 > 0:03:56chip on his shoulder, nobody gives me a chance to show what I can do,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I'm 110% guy, and he's not.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03So, in the big picture, they did not get rid of the right guy,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05and Lou is going to fall by the wayside
0:04:05 > 0:04:09because his team-mates are not going to cover for him any more.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21# Money, money, money, money
0:04:21 > 0:04:24# Money!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26# Money, money, money, money
0:04:26 > 0:04:28# Money!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31# Some people got to have it
0:04:33 > 0:04:36# Some people really need it
0:04:36 > 0:04:38# Listen to me, y'all
0:04:38 > 0:04:41# Do things, do things, do things
0:04:41 > 0:04:43# Bad things with it
0:04:45 > 0:04:48# Dollar bills, y'all, come on
0:04:48 > 0:04:51# For that mean, oh, mean
0:04:51 > 0:04:53# Mean green
0:04:53 > 0:04:56# Almighty dollar
0:04:56 > 0:04:59# You know that money
0:04:59 > 0:05:02# Give me a nickel
0:05:02 > 0:05:05# Brother, can you spare a dime?
0:05:05 > 0:05:10# Money can drive some people out of their minds
0:05:12 > 0:05:14# No good, no good
0:05:14 > 0:05:15# Money!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18# Money, money, money, money
0:05:18 > 0:05:20# Money! #
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- So, here we are.- Hi! Hi, guys!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39'I won my task as project manager,'
0:05:39 > 0:05:42and I'm here now in the Latino Commission On Aids offices.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Thank you so much for coming.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46'The Latino Commission On Aids helps raise awareness
0:05:46 > 0:05:50'in Latino communities, letting them know that they are not alone.'
0:05:50 > 0:05:52They have testing in the Latino community so that people can be
0:05:52 > 0:05:55tested, without being scared, and they have support groups.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Hi, my name is Raphael.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27'I know The Celebrity Apprentice is tough,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29'I know there is a lot of work,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32'I know that you deal with a lot of situations,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35'but the point is to finally get here and help.'
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And you have your arguments or whatever it is with others,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42but this is all for charity, so... That's why we're here.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45You guys are very brave.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49And I want you to know that I've been praying for you guys,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and this is something that, in the name of Celebrity Apprentice
0:06:52 > 0:06:57and Mr Trump, we will give the Latino Commission On Aids.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05You are amazing, you guys. This is 20,000 for us.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10This is amazing, so thank you very much, Dayana.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Good morning. ALL:- Good morning.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36We're standing in Grand Army Plaza, a very, very famous place.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40And if you look at all the buildings around on Fifth Avenue etc,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42all of my friends right now are watching me.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46They're rich, some are good people and some are scum.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Believe me, scum.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Now, it used to be, we'd ride around in a horse and buggy,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57but we're in a modern age and we use cars.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And a great car, one of my favourite cars, is Buick.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Buick is one of the fastest-growing brands anywhere in the world.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10With me is Craig from Buick and Steve from Leo Burnett.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Craig, tell them about the task. - Thanks, Mr Trump.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You know, at Buick, we're all about changing
0:08:15 > 0:08:18consumer perceptions of this brand. One of the ways that we've done that
0:08:18 > 0:08:21is through a number of new product introductions over the years
0:08:21 > 0:08:23that have really broken the mould for Buick.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Your task today is to help us introduce the all-new Buick Verano,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30a new vehicle and a new customer segment for us,
0:08:30 > 0:08:31to the public, to consumers.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Today's task is a ten-minute presentation,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37and a ten-minute question-and-answer segment,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39to introduce the Buick Verano
0:08:39 > 0:08:42to both a live audience and online viewers.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The presentation needs to be both informative and entertaining,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48while highlighting four key features of the Buick Verano.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Right, Don, how will they be judged?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Craig and Steve are going to judge your launch presentation
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and determine the overall winner based on three criteria.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Informational content, brand messaging, and overall creativity.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05OK? Now, do you have any questions as to how you're going to be judged?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Adam?- Just a comment. I lost my virginity in a Regal.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Nice!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Your team is doing very well.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Two weeks ago, hotshot!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Now, you're going to have to make a choice -
0:09:19 > 0:09:20who is going to be your captain?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23You have Michael Andretti, the son of Mario Andretti,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26in his own right, an unbelievable racer.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- DEBBIE:- 'Hello? Michael Andretti on the team?'
0:09:30 > 0:09:35I was like, we're a bunch of chicks who know nothing about cars.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I have a feeling I know who you're going to do, but we'll see.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Oh, wow.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- How you feeling about this one, Adam?- I feel good.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Gentlemen, who is your project manager?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Adam, now, why didn't you pick Michael Andretti for a car thing?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Because he looked at me and said, "You do it."
0:09:53 > 0:09:56'What a lot of people may not know about me
0:09:56 > 0:09:59'is that I race vintage cars
0:09:59 > 0:10:03'and I do a car show on the Speed Channel.'
0:10:03 > 0:10:06So I realised I could probably execute this better than he could.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Who is your project manager? - I'm going to be the project manager.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11OK, Deborah, that's very good.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14'I decided to step up as project manager
0:10:14 > 0:10:17'because it was about live presentation.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20'I perform all the time, so I thought,'
0:10:20 > 0:10:23"How hard could this be?"
0:10:23 > 0:10:28The winning team's project manager will get 20,000
0:10:28 > 0:10:31for his or her charity. What is your charity?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33My charity is Children International, Mr Trump.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Good, Deborah. Adam, what's your charity?- Catholic Big Brothers.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- OK, very good.- Mr Trump, I think we can help there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- I think we can add to that 20,000 with another 30,000.- Whoa!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Thank you very much, Craig.- Oh, we've got to win, we've got to win!
0:10:47 > 0:10:52So, the winning team's project manager gets 50,000.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Oh, awesome.- All right, have a good time, do a great job for Buick.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Thank you, thank you.- Go ahead. - All right. Whoo-hoo!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Ooh! We've got swag from Buick. All right, guys.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I am very excited. We're going to ride the wave
0:11:12 > 0:11:14that started on the last task with our win.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- TIA:- 'Our task this week is to do a consumer launch'
0:11:18 > 0:11:22presentation for the Buick Verano,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26and it's to include a ten-minute presentation and a ten-minute Q&A.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I think we should tell a story that's sincere,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32makes people feel that this was really genuine,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and if I were in that situation, I would want that car.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36That's a great thing.
0:11:36 > 0:11:42'Aubrey is a brainstormer, which is great, but...
0:11:42 > 0:11:46'It can be overbearing.'
0:11:46 > 0:11:49So my job as project manager is to recognise
0:11:49 > 0:11:52when it's the idea, take it, run with it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54One of them can be a serious story about getting in an accident
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and being stranded with nobody to help,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58so that's an emotional, dramatic story
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and it's got to be someone that can tear up an audience.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03'I think the entire team knows what a strong player I am.'
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I don't think any of them would have a creative bone in their body
0:12:07 > 0:12:08to continue on without me.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Hello.- Hello! - How is everybody?- Great.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Hi, how are you?- Good, how are you?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Hi. Steve Chavez.- OK, why don't we have the guys sit over here?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22My first question is, when you do these presentations,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25what is the overall purpose?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26For us in the Verano,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28it's really about a more thoughtful take on luxury.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Our key proof point in that is a system called IntelliLink.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33It's also about the thoughtfulness
0:12:33 > 0:12:35of what we call recording studio quiet.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38The third one is efficient use of space.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40And the final one is the safety of ten airbags.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44The four features that we have to highlight are a quiet environment,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47safety-ness, space and especially IntelliLink.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49We want to deliver on thoughtful design.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52You'll have an opportunity this morning, out on Pier 54,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55to drive the cars with some product specialists.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- AUBREY:- 'During the brainstorming with the executives,'
0:12:57 > 0:13:00a lot of the words that they were using were heavily feminine.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04They were talking about the voice of the car, the thoughtfulness of it,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08so I think that we really need to talk about the heart of this car.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Good luck.- Thank you.- Try not to drive into the Hudson River.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I'm going to come out, welcome everybody, kiss some Buick ass.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think that one of the most important parts is a face
0:13:23 > 0:13:27that knows the product inside out. I mean, that is Michael.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The Q&A part, I'm built for.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Improv, car knowledge, I'll have all the specs downloaded.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I mean, I do think we're really missing something big
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- if we don't get his ass on stage talking.- Sure.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Hey, guys.- Hey.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Here comes our guys.- How are you?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Craig Bierley. Nice to meet you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Adam? How are you? Nice to meet you. Arsenio. Pleased to meet you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52You know what? What we want to do today is we want to have you guys
0:13:52 > 0:13:56create a consumer-focused event to introduce the all-new Buick Verano.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The inspiration behind how we developed the car was about being thoughtful.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02OK? It's about thoughtful technology.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- ADAM:- 'Thoughtful is some fat person you work with
0:14:05 > 0:14:06'who remembers your birthday'
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and gets you one of those edible arrangements.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's nothing to do with a car.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15In terms of tone, you know... Fun?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Funny? I mean, obviously, you don't want to be boring.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22There's a wit and charm to the way we communicate this brand.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25We like a sense of humour, but it's not beer advertising.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31These guys were reserved in the box executives,
0:14:31 > 0:14:32and I was a little afraid
0:14:32 > 0:14:34because Adam is a comic.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39So are we making a mistake with Adam being the project manager?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Steve and I have spent a lot of time crafting what is
0:14:42 > 0:14:45essentially the voice for this brand.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Right? In terms of tonality.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Well, that's Tiger Woods, right?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Or is it...? We don't talk about him any more?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Most things that come from him will be jokes.- Don't make that call.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59'Tiger Woods used to be a spokesperson for Buick',
0:14:59 > 0:15:01but after all his, ahem, controversy,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05his name is probably the last thing they want to hear.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So, as project manager, Adam's going to have to figure out how to
0:15:08 > 0:15:11turn the dial back on his comedy a little bit
0:15:11 > 0:15:14if he's going to be able to lead us in a Buick-themed task.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Let's just work at the beginning.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I would like a little kapow
0:15:29 > 0:15:31with the reveal of the car.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- ARSENIO:- 'Our task this week is to present
0:15:33 > 0:15:36'the Buick Verano to a live audience,'
0:15:36 > 0:15:39and an internet audience on Twitter,
0:15:39 > 0:15:44and present a ten-minute show and a ten-minute Q&A.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51You know I'm saying?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I could come out with a suit and have difficulty tearing it apart.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I... Maybe.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58In order to go Hulk, we have to get the wig
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and we have to get a certain kind of make-up to match.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You know, the Hulk's a little campy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Lou, you've been saying that you're capable of doing more.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I think you need to show you can do more.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10MICHAEL: 'Lou's problem is that he just worries about Lou.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:13He's not really caring about the task -
0:16:13 > 0:16:15he's just worrying about his part in the task.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And the only job he really wants is to pull his shirt off
0:16:19 > 0:16:21and act like he's the Hulk.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Let's go. We're going to go test drive the car.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27The car's silver. Do you want a silver suit torn with a green tie?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I don't know that I want to get green make-up all over.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33'Adam was very adamant about what he wanted to do,'
0:16:33 > 0:16:36and some of us were nervous because we were feeling that
0:16:36 > 0:16:37he wasn't on the right path.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Adam?- Yes.- I'm trying to show you something. Here.- Yeah.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Take this with you.- No, we're good.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46'Adam had in the back of his mind what he wanted to do,'
0:16:46 > 0:16:47and how could it be delivered,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49whether anybody else likes it or not.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55This is a casting call for the Buick spokesman or something?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58That's why it would give people an excuse to come out of the audience.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59That is a fantastic idea,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01such a great way to relay all that information.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03You can say, "OK, you."
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Then somebody can get up and do their little vignette.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09So she's about the space. You're about the safety.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I'm about the gadgets. And you're about the recording...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The soundproofing as the loudmouth. And Tia's the host.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- AUBREY:- 'Lisa and I are allies
0:17:18 > 0:17:20'because we both know how valuable each other are.'
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Until I started to get the ball rolling with the creativity side,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and Lisa started formulating the concept,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28nothing was getting done creatively on this task.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I have a really huge mission for you, Teresa.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Is your husband available to do the scenario with you and the kids?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37'Debbie suggested bringing my husband and my children,
0:17:37 > 0:17:38'and I was like, "No problem." '
0:17:38 > 0:17:41If they want to make me centre of attention, I'll take it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44The introduction to the thing is, like, we're all a world community -
0:17:44 > 0:17:46that sort of thing.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Sort of like the overriding theme connecting it is, like, humanity.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Any better ideas or any other ideas?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54The whole back wall of it, an image of Ivanka,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56what do you think about that?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58No, I don't thing we should do that.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00What's the order of what you want to do,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- which type of music you want to use? - We don't know yet, so...
0:18:04 > 0:18:08'Some people come up with ideas that are so far off course,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10'or a day late and a dollar short,'
0:18:10 > 0:18:12it's a detriment and a distraction
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and it holds us back from meeting our deadlines.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17What if you had each person get a Buick after their story
0:18:17 > 0:18:20and, at the end, they're all in the car together,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and it's like, "I am Buick" or "We are Buick?"
0:18:22 > 0:18:25We are all Buick.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- PENN:- I believe that a presentation needs to be somebody
0:18:33 > 0:18:36with eye contact, from the heart, talking to the audience.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Do we need to say that again to Adam
0:18:38 > 0:18:40or do you think he's heard it already?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We don't want to later say
0:18:42 > 0:18:45we shouldn't have given up trying to communicate.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47'Adam, Paul and Michael Andretti'
0:18:47 > 0:18:49have gone for a test drive.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52We're back at the war room and we have nothing.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54PHONE RINGS
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Hello?- Hey, Adam.- Clay.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01If you give me some idea of what you're thinking of and looking at.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I'm thinking maybe just to do our sketch
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- and then get to the Q&A.- 'Yeah.'
0:19:08 > 0:19:12We also don't know what the sketch is yet, Adam, of course.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- What if you guys are hecklers? - And it would happen during the Q&A?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- 'No, it would happen during my presentation.'- Oh!
0:19:19 > 0:19:24I think it would be funny if we spread you guys around the audience
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and, you know, you guys heckle me.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Not... Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34I think it's a really classy brand
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and I think we should go over it, not come under it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's all going to be there, like, we may want to play ourselves.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- Penn, I'm a big man, I need plenty...- I like braking power.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I'm Dee Snider, I want to rock? - 'Yeah.'
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Adam had this idea for hecklers in the audience
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and he wanted each celebrity heckler
0:19:55 > 0:19:58to have a different concern about the car.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- OK, thanks, guys. - OK, call us if you need us.- OK.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We all have made comments that we don't think
0:20:05 > 0:20:07so much humour is important.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10The question was asked directly, do you want funny? And they said no.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Yeah. That means something about tone.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15A lot of the team members are concerned about the beer
0:20:15 > 0:20:17commercialness of it because that was literally
0:20:17 > 0:20:20said by the executives, "We don't want a beer commercial."
0:20:20 > 0:20:24But Adam has decided he wants to go straight against that,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27so we really have no choice but to follow his lead
0:20:27 > 0:20:28and to hope he's right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We've said it, we've said it, "Who's the boss?" Do it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34You're absolutely right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41If I'm going to buy a car, I just want to feel special in it,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44just like the way I pick a man and an outfit.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Right, that's what I mean, it's a reflection. Reflection.- Reflects...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Reflect. Love your reflection!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Love is perfect. Thank you.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's clear that Debbie has put the people she thinks
0:20:55 > 0:20:58will be most efficient in the cool van.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I've always been one of the members of the cool van.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05We're usually the ones that move the task along,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08really make the entire thing happen.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11The uncool van is the leftovers.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18- Does anybody have Advil?- No. Sorry.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Being put in a separate van
0:21:20 > 0:21:23and knowing they are coming up with a concept that is going to be
0:21:23 > 0:21:26solidified by the time you get to your destination,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28it was frustrating.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- DAYANA:- I don't know what I'm doing, nobody has told me anything.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Why couldn't they just have us on speakerphone so we could listen?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Is that so hard? - Yeah, I know, I know.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Debbie could have done a better job in delegating.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41She doesn't have to like me,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46but we're in a challenge together and I wanted to be more involved.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Sorry, yep. Tia.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52We wanted to be on speakerphone
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- so we could be in the conversation, so we know what's going on.- Hold on.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57- Can you hold this, please?- Sure.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01I don't have anything to include her in yet. I just want to review this.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Debbie is reviewing her notes and then we'll call you right back.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08She said she'll call back when she has it all fleshed out.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09She will call you back.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15- Yeah, when SHE has it all fleshed out.- Right.- So there is no team.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Hi. I'm Adam Carolla.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Nice to meet you. I'm Jennifer Nardicchio.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28We needed to meet with our Buick product specialist,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32so I decided to take Michael with me, and Paul,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35and go out and drive the car for ourselves.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Do you want to hop in the passenger?- Sure.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Michael Andretti's job was to test drive the car
0:22:40 > 0:22:44and be the sort of technical expert.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46CAR STARTS
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Can we go? - I think you're ready to go.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50HE REVS ENGINE
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- TYRES SCREECH - Slow down!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Michael Andretti is a legend,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58everybody knows that, so, you know, to see him
0:22:58 > 0:23:03getting that new Buick to rip around that track was pretty impressive.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11'I'm a race car driver and I know what a car should feel like
0:23:11 > 0:23:13'when you drive it. I like the Verano.'
0:23:13 > 0:23:16It felt really good, I was real happy with the way it responded.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It was a perfect car.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24- How do you like that?- Wow!
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Hey. He will take you on your drive.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Nice to meet you. - You as well.- Thank you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So we arrive at Chelsea Pier to meet up with our Buick product
0:23:34 > 0:23:37specialist, who is going to take us on a test drive.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39How much do you girls trust me?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- It's very comfortable. - Step on it a little.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Step on it? No problem.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45TYRES SCREECH
0:23:45 > 0:23:46THUD!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Ohhhh! It's like my driving test all over again.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oooh, this is fun.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Oh, going to knock some cones over but that's all right. OK.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Stop, stop!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57TYRES SCREECH
0:23:57 > 0:23:59That's great. Sold!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10You want to start with safety? Ten airbags?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Hey.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I'm going to run the beats here through you guys.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm going to start, welcome everybody.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Michael is going to discuss the experience of driving the car
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and how it felt, and then the heckle will begin.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29'As a project manager, I wanted a mixture of'
0:24:29 > 0:24:32information and laughs.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The team doesn't have 11 quarterbacks,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39it has a quarterback and some guys have to block.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The button will be Paul chiming in,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- just saying, "You suck."- Oh!
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I don't know if the "you suck" stuff is going to work for these guys.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55If it plays, if it gets a laugh, if it's funny, then it works.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59They said they want witty, not a beer commercial.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- We can, we can...- Just asking.- No.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05The downside to Adam is, once he's made up his mind
0:25:05 > 0:25:06as to what he wants to do,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09it's really hard to get him to see another side.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I don't feel like he doesn't hear us,
0:25:11 > 0:25:16I just don't necessarily think he...cares.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I feel like, as long as we're getting it out there,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21we'll be in good shape.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I need to just recap with everybody.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32We're going with the - love your reflection.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We came up with the idea potentially of doing some mirrors.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't know how quite it's going to work.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Each character basically is going to reflect upon
0:25:42 > 0:25:47a way in which a Buick helped them in their lives, helped save the day.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Is there any way to decide on that,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- just so we know how to start writing it?- Erm...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54So we got back to the war room after test driving the car,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58and realised that we had a huge deadline to meet but no script yet.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Can I read something? I wrote like three short things.- Absolutely.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04OK. One woman - "I need a car I can count on, a safe space to
0:26:04 > 0:26:08"transport my family and a stylish car that reflects who I am."
0:26:08 > 0:26:11You take pictures of the people that look like they've got
0:26:11 > 0:26:12the Buick style.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Not to knock it down, it's away from where we're going,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18only because you weren't in our van.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23'I had envisioned photos of everyday people, which fell on deaf ears.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27'It's kind of like, wow, you don't have to be so dismissive of me'
0:26:27 > 0:26:28or condescending.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31It doesn't feel nice and it makes you feel like, well,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK, I'll just sit here and let you do what you're going to do.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Oh, my God, our hero!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Hello.- Flattery will get you everything with me.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Sit down, this is empty. - How's it going so far?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Things are unfolding and we're taking things in.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50We're a little wired and nervous watching the timing cos we've
0:26:50 > 0:26:52run into issues with that in the past.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I think my biggest concern about the women's team, frankly, is
0:26:55 > 0:26:57they have a lot to do in a very finite amount of time.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I think, if Debbie doesn't crack down and get pen on paper and
0:27:00 > 0:27:03start delivering this task, she's going to be in trouble
0:27:03 > 0:27:05when she gets up in front of hundreds of people.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- I look forward to seeing it. - Us, too.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Why don't you explain to her what that idea was?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13This would be the reveal inside.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17We want the logo and we want to put three words.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19What if we did thoughtful something, thoughtful something
0:27:19 > 0:27:20and then thoughtful?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Hi, guys.- Hey.- Good to see you, Adam. Paul, how's it going?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Hi, nice to see you. - How's it going so far?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Do you want all the gags? - Yes, give it to me.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I think we're going to do it in a way that's a little more
0:27:32 > 0:27:35humorous and more interesting, where our guys yell
0:27:35 > 0:27:39out their concerns and I say, "Good point".
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Obviously the questions are based on the marketing.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44You know about the cars.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Yeah, I'm not a mechanic or anything, but I know how they operate.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I was surprised you weren't project manager on this one.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53This is more a marketing thing than a driving thing.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Yeah, but you can bring in all your driver friends...
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Given that the Andretti family is almost synonymous with cars
0:27:59 > 0:28:03and racing, I was a little bit surprised that Michael didn't step
0:28:03 > 0:28:06'up on a task that is more tailored to his particular skill set.'
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I think he'll do a better job of presenting
0:28:08 > 0:28:10the actual presentation cos that's his thing.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I don't know. This struck me as a total natural for you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I felt like, if we wanted to win the task, Adam had a better shot at it,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20but I was starting to get worried that my point wasn't getting across.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25Well, guys, enjoy and I will see you all at the presentation. Good luck, Adam.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Thank you.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Hey, what's going on?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Our task this week is to produce a presentation for the new
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Buick Verano, so we got to rehearsal
0:28:39 > 0:28:42and started to run through the show for the first time.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Let's give up for IndyCar great Michael Andretti.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Thanks, Michael.- Great to be here.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52'The creative for our presentation was basically Adam gets up there,'
0:28:52 > 0:28:56starts talking, brings me up on stage to give my spiel.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Then the hecklers would start.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Hey, you, if you could shut your pie-hole for a minute, I have a question.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03'And the idea of a heckler was for them'
0:29:03 > 0:29:07to bring out the points of the car that the Buick execs wanted.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- What can you do for me? - Bluetooth technology, kapow!
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Look at me! I'm 6'7",
0:29:14 > 0:29:16would I even fit in there with my children?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19So it started with Arsenio and then it went to Penn,
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- and then Penn gets in the trunk, which was great.- Action.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29This trunk is big enough to fit Penn Jillette.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Can I go back to sleep? Night-night, Adam.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36That's kind of funny. Lou, you are the security.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Can you pick him up and bear hug him out of here?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43I can choke him but I can't pick him up. 'They should utilise me more.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46'I keep fighting, I keep bringing up ideas.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49'I can contribute because everybody loves Lou Ferrigno.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51'You know, anything I do creates attention.'
0:29:51 > 0:29:54All right, as I was saying, ten air bags.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I can't even count that high - that's how many airbags there are.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59During the performance,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I'm not going to be surprised that Adam gets laughs.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I'm not surprised that he knows cars, he knows cars.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10But I was a little surprised that, of the 20-minute-show,
0:30:10 > 0:30:14'I believe that Adam was responsible for 19 and a half.'
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- This is going to be up to me to- BLEEP- basically.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23We got lots to do.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Let's welcome the star of our show, you lead the clapping.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Then in your official position as cast director,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33that's when you walk here and assume that character.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36'For the presentation, we thought it'd be a really cool idea'
0:30:36 > 0:30:39if each one of us, who were telling our own story about the car,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42represented a feature of the Buick Verona.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45I like to shop, but, guess what, I'm on a budget too
0:30:45 > 0:30:47and I need a lot space.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52Aubrey, myself, Lisa and Teresa are all going to act in the show,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55and Tia will host.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Tia goes, envelops the audience and says, "We are all Buick."
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Love your reflection and you have the thing too,
0:31:01 > 0:31:02and that's the ending.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Yes. But first I just need to talk it through with Lisa.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We are going to present in less than 12 hours and, to be honest,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I don't know what we're doing.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I don't think they are still understanding
0:31:18 > 0:31:20that I can help as much as I can.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25So... OK, we start, Tia, the reveal.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I would say, maybe...
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- AUBREY:- I think Debbie is maybe very overwhelmed.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35We have yet to have run through the show one time in a clean fashion.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37You!
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41'As I'm watching the rehearsal,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44'I realise that it looks very gimmicky.'
0:31:44 > 0:31:46We have Lisa being a comedian,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49then we have Debbie Gibson having her comeback tour.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51HORN TOOTS
0:31:51 > 0:31:53MUSIC PLAYS
0:31:54 > 0:31:58I think Debbie should just go on stage and sing In Her Dreams,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- or whatever the- BLEEP- song that she says is so amazing.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I honestly wasn't into any of her stuff,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I was more of a Tiffany fan,
0:32:05 > 0:32:09but whether you bought a ticket or not, you're going to hear her sing.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13My only concern with that, to vocalise it, is just I think
0:32:13 > 0:32:19it's becoming into a comedy hour instead of focusing on a
0:32:19 > 0:32:21detailed presentation of product,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23so if we can just come back a little bit.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- I'm so deliriously tired.- I know. - I feel the tone is going to take
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- shape tomorrow and it's going to be right, I won't let it be wrong.- OK.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33'It's the end of the night and I'm feeling a little out of it.'
0:32:33 > 0:32:36There's definitely a lot of loose ends at this point.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39One of my biggest things is the facts for the Q&A.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I don't know that we'll have time to memorise every single fact.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I want 50,000 for my charity and I want to present well.
0:32:46 > 0:32:52I want to rock it, so I really hope that some magic fairy dust gets
0:32:52 > 0:32:55sprinkled on us tomorrow and we're able to pull it out of the hat.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58We didn't actually get to go through a rehearsal.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06All right. Guys, we have 45 minutes.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09We're just going to hit the ground running. Everybody, get into place.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13'Our task today is to introduce the new Buick Verano in a ten-minute'
0:33:13 > 0:33:17live presentation and a ten-minute question-and-answer segment.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Check, one, two.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23We're giving this presentation for a live audience and Twitter followers.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- DEBBIE:- It's moments before the performance and I'm a little bit
0:33:29 > 0:33:32nervous because I'm not overly familiar with the material,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35but I thought, you know what? It's show time, there was
0:33:35 > 0:33:39nothing else we could do to prepare, so on we went.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Ladies and gentlemen, Team Forte.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Hello, everyone. Welcome to Buick. But first,
0:33:46 > 0:33:53the star of our show, the all-new 2012 Buick Verano.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Ah, yes.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01We are conducting a casting call to choose
0:34:01 > 0:34:04a spokesperson for the new Buick Verano.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Do we have anyone that...? - Oh, I'd like to audition.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Sure, absolutely. - Hi, everyone. I'm Debbie Gibson.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Yes, THE Debbie Gibson.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13CHEERING
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Anyway, with all of this hands-free connectivity,
0:34:19 > 0:34:23with just one touch of a button and using my voice and my smartphone,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25it was like, "Get me agent, get my manager" -
0:34:25 > 0:34:28who, by the way, happens to be my mother, yes.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29LAUGHTER
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Y'all may remember this little ditty.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Play Debbie Gibson, Shake Your Love!
0:34:34 > 0:34:35- ON STEREO:- # Your love
0:34:35 > 0:34:38# I just can't shake your love... #
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I hope I got the part. Thank you!
0:34:40 > 0:34:41CHEERING
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I'm ready for my close-up.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I am Lisa Lampanelli
0:34:45 > 0:34:47and I yell a lot.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50So the best thing about my Buick Verano
0:34:50 > 0:34:54is it has a recording-studio-quiet environment.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Cos I'm the quiet one in the family, all right?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00But that's like being the poorest member of the Trump family -
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- it don't mean much! - LAUGHTER
0:35:02 > 0:35:05So I get up there, I'm HILARIOUS,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07and I caught a look at the executives,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10laughing and having a good time, so I'm feeling pretty good.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Thank you!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13CHEERING
0:35:13 > 0:35:14- Oh, no! - # I just can't shake your love... #
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I'm trapped in Debbie Gibson's car!
0:35:17 > 0:35:18HELP!
0:35:18 > 0:35:20LAUGHTER
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I have a reflection about the Buick Verano
0:35:23 > 0:35:25that will make me the winning spokesperson.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27'It's my turn to go on the stage,'
0:35:27 > 0:35:29and, in order to be an efficient presenter,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31you have to emotionally connect with the crowd.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Everything was amazing...
0:35:34 > 0:35:38..except from when I got a call that my mum had been in a car accident.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42I don't know if any of you have been through this position,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44but it is one of the toughest things that you will ever face.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46And, for me, as an only child,
0:35:46 > 0:35:50I have never felt what it felt like to know that I could lose my mum.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59And had my mum been driving a Buick Verano,
0:35:59 > 0:36:02she would have had the ten standard airbags.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06She would have had the on-demand emergency system.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09'I definitely lied about it.'
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I feel like I did amazing.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I saw people tearing up in the audience.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15'I got a couple of amens.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17'I was like a pastor at church.'
0:36:17 > 0:36:20I was just feeding my disciples all my energy. It was amazing.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24My Buick Verona has kept my family...
0:36:24 > 0:36:25'Lisa and I are sitting in the car'
0:36:25 > 0:36:28and Aubrey calls the Verano...
0:36:28 > 0:36:29a Verona.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31But I have my own Buick Verona now, too.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I have the red and she has the silver.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35(Twice!)
0:36:35 > 0:36:38'At this point, I'm thinking, "That could be a problem." '
0:36:38 > 0:36:40So now it is Teresa's turn to come on stage
0:36:40 > 0:36:44and I was a little concerned Teresa's vignette
0:36:44 > 0:36:45could just totally tank.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47After an afternoon of shopping,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50my juicy husband Joe and my beautiful daughters...
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Joe, where are you? You're always late!
0:36:54 > 0:36:58We all fit in the Buick Verano - all of us in one car.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01CHEERING
0:37:07 > 0:37:09You forgot your dog!
0:37:09 > 0:37:11LAUGHTER
0:37:13 > 0:37:14'My role was to bring in my family
0:37:14 > 0:37:17'and to show the efficient use of space.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19'So, you know, it was nice that my husband Joe'
0:37:19 > 0:37:23and my daughters came in, you know, to help us do the presentation.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Love your reflection.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29We're going to be taking some questions from the audience,
0:37:29 > 0:37:32as well as our online community that is following us on Twitter.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Hi, Lisa.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36I was just curious to know what the rating would be
0:37:36 > 0:37:39with the Insurance Institute Of Highway Safety,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- as far as what ratings they got? - OK.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Safety ratings? Er...
0:37:43 > 0:37:45LAUGHTER
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Are you the stumper here in the audience?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49LAUGHTER
0:37:49 > 0:37:51It's safe enough for my family with the Latch System.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52'The Q&A starts'
0:37:52 > 0:37:54and the very first question is a zinger.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It's about safety ratings.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00'None of us have that stat. What a way to start.'
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Buick went the extra mile.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04The industry standard is six airbags,
0:38:04 > 0:38:08they have ten in this vehicle, and the anti-lock brakes,
0:38:08 > 0:38:09and that's good enough for me.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12It is definitely one of the safest vehicles on the road.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- We're only required to have eight airbags - it's got ten.- Yes, sir?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Whoo!
0:38:18 > 0:38:20It cranks, biatch!
0:38:20 > 0:38:21- LAUGHTER - I like it! I like it!
0:38:21 > 0:38:22That's right!
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Yes, we do have a question from a tweeter.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27"Which feature of the car complements you the most?"
0:38:27 > 0:38:29For, I'd say, Debbie and I, it would be able
0:38:29 > 0:38:31to play any artist you want, hands-free.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33And all you have to do is give the voice command
0:38:33 > 0:38:36and the car will continuously go through any artist...
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Request your favourite Debbie Gibson song.- Or not!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:38:40 > 0:38:44OK, looks like we have time for one more question. Any questions?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- I have a question.- Yes, Teresa?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Does it come in hot pink and leopard?
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Ba-dum-bum.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Thank you! Thanks, everybody.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Thank you, everyone!
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Yeah.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01If these Buick guys wanted a simpler presentation,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Adam's going to get it.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07If they were judging on creativity and capturing the heart and soul
0:39:07 > 0:39:10of their product, the girls have it.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11That was so fun!
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I was just trying to figure that out, too.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22'Today is the day of our performance'
0:39:22 > 0:39:25and I'm feeling pretty anxious. The team's feeling anxious.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28OK, Adam has made some choices as the team leader
0:39:28 > 0:39:30that we didn't necessarily agree with
0:39:30 > 0:39:31and we're hoping he's right.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Please welcome...Adam Carolla!
0:39:35 > 0:39:37APPLAUSE
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Thank you for that pathetic smattering of applause.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Thank you very much. Yes, don't let the...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45LAUGHING: My hand's shaking, I'm so nervous here!
0:39:48 > 0:39:52I came out and, for the first time in 15 years,
0:39:52 > 0:39:56I had so much adrenaline and so much energy, I was nervous.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I can't believe it. I stand up on stage for a living
0:39:59 > 0:40:02and I'm actually flustered talking about the car -
0:40:02 > 0:40:04it is that spectacular.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08180 horsepower, 171 foot-pounds of torque
0:40:08 > 0:40:12and, most importantly, four valves, two cams,
0:40:12 > 0:40:13all the bells and whistles.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1731 on the highway, 21 in the city, so great mileage,
0:40:17 > 0:40:22also great punch, great power, great performance. All right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Here's Michael Andretti, IndyCar champion. Michael.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27APPLAUSE
0:40:29 > 0:40:31We had a chance to drive the car yesterday.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32What were your impressions?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34The first thing that got me was the look.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I think the car just looks beautiful.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I think they've done a fantastic job...
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- The fit and finish is unbelievable. - Yeah, it really is.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43'I was watching Michael Andretti on stage'
0:40:43 > 0:40:46and he's not a performer,
0:40:46 > 0:40:47and he was a little bit nervous,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50but I don't think anybody will hold that against him.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52His endorsement is the best thing
0:40:52 > 0:40:54the Buick executives could possibly have.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Well, his last name's Andretti and he likes the car.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Good enough for me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Thank you, Michael. Appreciate it.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Buick again has sent a new benchmark for quality...
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Hey, hey, hey, yo, motormouth!
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Oh. Oh, we got a heckler.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- I got three words for you.- Mm-hm?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Tech...nolo...gy.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- That's what I need. What can you do for me?- Three words, for you,
0:41:17 > 0:41:23IntelliLink, Bluetooth, MP3, USB ports, iPod, Sirius Radio...
0:41:23 > 0:41:24All there.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29'We took a risk in doing the comedic thing, but I believe,
0:41:29 > 0:41:30by audience reaction, that it paid off.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34As I was saying, the lines speak for themselves.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38MacPherson struts suspension, hydraulic ride bushings -
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I'm a car guy, I don't even know what that is. It's that advanced!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- Hey, Jabberjaw!- Yes?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46I'm 6'7", I'm 300 pounds.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Doesn't matter how good the car is, I will not fit. I'm too big!
0:41:50 > 0:41:51You don't think you could fit in this car?
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I say you fit comfortably in this car.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Hop behind the steering wheel.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- Hop was the verb?- All right.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Wow. Plenty of room, plenty of room!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- And headroom too, look at this! - Not only that.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05With huge space in the trunk,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08you can keep two sets of golf clubs in the trunk. It's a massive trunk.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- It's a huge trunk. - I bet you could fit in that trunk.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I don't think I could fit in the trunk.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14I think you could fit in that trunk.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- I can fit in the trunk? - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:16 > 0:42:17I think the audience would like to see
0:42:17 > 0:42:20if Penn Gillette could fit in the trunk.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22And will it close?
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Yes!
0:42:24 > 0:42:27'I was very happy with people cheering me getting in the trunk.'
0:42:27 > 0:42:29And that's... You know, you take turns in your life
0:42:29 > 0:42:31and you end up in weird places.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I end up in New York City in the trunk of a car...
0:42:33 > 0:42:35HE CHUCKLES
0:42:35 > 0:42:37..which is surprising since Gotti is off the show!
0:42:37 > 0:42:39HE LAUGHS
0:42:39 > 0:42:43I really like this car, but I think you suck.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Paul, we get the heckling bit now, just spit out the question.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53No, I really think you suck.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00We don't have a question about the car?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01You suck!
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Oh, get him out of here, Lou, would ya?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:06 > 0:43:07We're going to do some Q&A.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- We have Michael Andretti. Want to join me for this?- Absolutely.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14'I thought I should bring Michael Andretti back on stage
0:43:14 > 0:43:16'because I could hear Trump going,
0:43:16 > 0:43:19' "You had Michael Andretti'
0:43:19 > 0:43:22"for a Q&A segment about cars
0:43:22 > 0:43:24"and you chose to have him stand backstage,
0:43:24 > 0:43:26"with his thumb in his butt?"
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Got another one here from Twitter.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32A woman writes in and says, "Men love to drive fast.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36"Does that mean someone driving this won't hear me honking
0:43:36 > 0:43:38"when they cut me off on the highway?"
0:43:38 > 0:43:40LAUGHTER
0:43:40 > 0:43:43No, you can hear the honking, but you won't need it
0:43:43 > 0:43:46cos you'll be able to miss 'em because that car handles...
0:43:46 > 0:43:47You'll be passing them so fast.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50That honk will be just like a distant fart in the wind that you
0:43:50 > 0:43:53remember from your childhood. LAUGHTER
0:43:53 > 0:43:55I know, I really paint a picture, don't I?
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Adam, this probably should be the last question.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00And how better to end than with Tracy?
0:44:00 > 0:44:04How do you feel when you're driving in this great car?
0:44:04 > 0:44:08I feel like a beautiful, beautiful blonde in a tight, blue dress.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10LAUGHTER
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Windows down, my hair flowing in the breeze...
0:44:14 > 0:44:15APPLAUSE
0:44:15 > 0:44:16..and a little Sinatra
0:44:16 > 0:44:19being pushed through the seven-speaker Bose system.
0:44:19 > 0:44:20I...
0:44:20 > 0:44:22- You feel like a lady, too?- No, no.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24LAUGHTER
0:44:24 > 0:44:25Well, then it's just me.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29Well, there you have it. The 2012 Buick Verano, everybody.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32Thank you very much. APPLAUSE
0:44:32 > 0:44:35When the presentation was over, I felt very good.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37We got a lot of laughs.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40I felt like I answered all of the technical questions,
0:44:40 > 0:44:43and it was just smiles all the way round,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45so we were extremely confident.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Adam.
0:45:07 > 0:45:08Are you nervous?
0:45:08 > 0:45:13A little bit, but I also feel great about what we did.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14Why?
0:45:14 > 0:45:17I think we brought a lot of heart to our project.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19I think we really listened
0:45:19 > 0:45:22when Craig and Steve talked to us about the brand
0:45:22 > 0:45:23and what Buick represents.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25And I really think that...
0:45:25 > 0:45:29we really kind of felt a connection to the product and...
0:45:29 > 0:45:31How did you like the car?
0:45:31 > 0:45:34I love it. I'm actually looking for a new car and now I want it.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36- Yeah, but do you like it? - I like it a lot.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38- Great product?- Great product.
0:45:38 > 0:45:39OK, good.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41So, Lisa, how was your project manager?
0:45:41 > 0:45:44I think she did pretty well. She...
0:45:44 > 0:45:47You know, I liked most of the way things ran.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49That's not exactly a ringing in endorsement, Deborah, is it?
0:45:49 > 0:45:52It is what it is. You're going to ask for the truth.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54As project managers, we all have different styles.
0:45:54 > 0:45:55- What didn't she do well?- Um...
0:45:55 > 0:45:59I think she was great at creative
0:45:59 > 0:46:02and I think, unfortunately, every project manager
0:46:02 > 0:46:03gets a little frazzled and disjointed.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Was she frazzled?
0:46:05 > 0:46:09A little bit. But, you know what, at the end of the day, who wasn't?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Anyone who says they sat in that seat...
0:46:11 > 0:46:14She was not frazzled on opening night on Broadway, right?
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- I was on the inside. - On Les Miserables.- I know.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19- Well, you know what? - I was there. She wasn't frazzled.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21- She sang so unbelievably.- Thank you.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24But she's saying you were frazzled on this event.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26This is definitely, I think, out of all of our comfort zones.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- It is a very unique experience.- It's a unique experience. It's tough.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- And I'm glad, though, because... - Look at Lisa.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33She destroys men for a living.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35- And it's been tough, right? - Physically, too.
0:46:35 > 0:46:40Leave her personal life out of this...please.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43Let me ask you this - who is not comfortable in this environment?
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Any of you guys not comfortable?
0:46:45 > 0:46:47You're getting more comfortable? Adam?
0:46:47 > 0:46:51No, I don't think anyone's comfortable...literally.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54Comfortable's drinking rum out of a coconut somewhere.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58It's a whole different experience. It's not easy. Look at my man.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- You look good.- Thank you, sir. - You look good.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Sometimes I think I'm going to just shave my hair
0:47:03 > 0:47:05and say, "To hell with it." What do you think? It's easier.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08I think you don't shave it until God decides.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Yeah, maybe that's right. Maybe that's right. All right.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14So, Dee, how was Adam?
0:47:14 > 0:47:18Adam was amazing. I mean, he was in his element
0:47:18 > 0:47:20and he knew what he wanted to do.
0:47:20 > 0:47:21Did he use Michael?
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Oh, yeah, he used Michael. Michael, I mean...
0:47:24 > 0:47:28I was surprised Michael didn't take this job as project manager.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30- He was the perfect guy. I mean... - No, YOU'RE the perfect guy.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33- You're the perfect guy.- Your name's Andretti.- You know what, though?
0:47:33 > 0:47:35On paper, yes, but I don't think so...
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Is there a task that you could have been better for, though?
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- I mean, just thinking about... - Formula One driving.
0:47:41 > 0:47:42- ..the weeks to come. - LAUGHTER
0:47:42 > 0:47:43I don't think you're ever going to
0:47:43 > 0:47:46get anything closer to your wheelhouse than this.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Maybe not perfect, but this is about as close
0:47:48 > 0:47:50- as I can imagine it's going to get. - I was there.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52If he wasn't there, I would have taken it in a second.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Paul, let me ask you a question. You're into this world, too, right?
0:47:55 > 0:47:56- Somewhat.- The automotive world.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59I was sure that they were going to choose Michael.
0:47:59 > 0:48:00And I understand, Adam,
0:48:00 > 0:48:03you really knew a lot about the car and about cars.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05But who knows more than Michael Andretti, right?
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Other than Mario Andretti. Then it's a tie.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Were you surprised that Michael didn't take project manager?
0:48:11 > 0:48:12No, not really.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Cos I think there was more involved than just, you know, cars.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19- You know, there was a presentation. - That's interesting.- Can I...?- Yes?
0:48:19 > 0:48:20Can I make something clear?
0:48:20 > 0:48:24In fantasy football, there's the jocks who play on the field,
0:48:24 > 0:48:27who actually hit each other and make millions of dollars
0:48:27 > 0:48:29and actually play the game,
0:48:29 > 0:48:32and then there's the nerds at home that follow all the stats
0:48:32 > 0:48:35and know all the teams and know all the players.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38They know more about the guys who are playing
0:48:38 > 0:48:39than are guys who are actually playing.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41He's a jock.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- He's out on the field, I'm the big nerd at home.- It's OK.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Interesting definition.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51- OK. So, Lou...- Yeah? - ..what did you do?
0:48:51 > 0:48:52I did whatever Adam wanted.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54I wanted to do more because...
0:48:54 > 0:48:56everybody thinks I'm the Hulk.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58I've done over 40 feature films,
0:48:58 > 0:49:00I'm a world-class motivational speaker,
0:49:00 > 0:49:02and I wanted to get more involved with the dialogue.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04You do motivational speaking?
0:49:04 > 0:49:06- Yeah, for the National Achievement Council.- Very good.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Yeah, I speak about ways of overcoming fear
0:49:08 > 0:49:09and motivating people.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11- Maybe I will see you some day. - Lou, it feels...
0:49:11 > 0:49:13When you talk and the team talks about you,
0:49:13 > 0:49:15it feels like you think you've been marginalised,
0:49:15 > 0:49:17at least in the tasks.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19I mean, is that true? Did that continue on in this task?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22I think I should have been utilised more.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25- Almost every week, you've felt that. - It's just a recurring theme.
0:49:25 > 0:49:26That's right.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30It always seems that you're not using Lou maybe to his potential.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32What do you think about that?
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Well, when you talk about potential,
0:49:34 > 0:49:38we don't know the answer to that is, cos who knows...?
0:49:38 > 0:49:41- Potential is a very tricky word. - Yeah.- Right.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43I think, in this particular instance,
0:49:43 > 0:49:47I had a couple of guys doing technical stuff,
0:49:47 > 0:49:49which they volunteered for,
0:49:49 > 0:49:52and I had a couple of guys who were yelling out from the crowd.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55And Lou has an impairment.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Lou can be understood quite easily when you're sitting next to him,
0:49:59 > 0:50:03but I didn't know if Lou, from the back of the audience,
0:50:03 > 0:50:07yelling out on the stage, would be understood as clearly as...
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Can you do that, Lou? Can you do that?
0:50:09 > 0:50:12- I would think so.- Yeah, I've done theatre stage plays.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Very simple, I could have been closer to him.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16I think you should have used him.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18By the way, I didn't understand a word you just said.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19THEY ALL LAUGH
0:50:19 > 0:50:21I'm only kidding.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26OK. So, Penn, what did you do?
0:50:26 > 0:50:31I argued with Adam and disagreed with him on some stuff.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33And then he prevailed and, other than that,
0:50:33 > 0:50:36I got into a car and I got into the trunk of a car.
0:50:36 > 0:50:37Where were your disagreements with him?
0:50:37 > 0:50:41I listened very carefully to what the gentlemen from Buick said,
0:50:41 > 0:50:44and I thought, from what they said,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47that our presentation should have been a little different.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51When we asked them a question about "funny", they said "witty".
0:50:51 > 0:50:55And I believe, in corporate code, "witty" means,
0:50:55 > 0:50:57"No, let's not really do funny."
0:50:57 > 0:51:01And I knew that Adam was going to get big laughs,
0:51:01 > 0:51:05but I was a little worried that the gentlemen from Buick
0:51:05 > 0:51:09would feel that the humour was more funny and less witty.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13I expressed that and Adam said, very clearly,
0:51:13 > 0:51:18that he thought, if those 70 people in the room
0:51:18 > 0:51:20were laughing and having a wonderful time,
0:51:20 > 0:51:21that that would be the most important part.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24Do you think that you followed the executives' order?
0:51:24 > 0:51:26I know you got laughs from the audience, but do you think
0:51:26 > 0:51:29you did what the executives really wanted in this task?
0:51:29 > 0:51:33A number of us had the same concerns that Penn had
0:51:33 > 0:51:36and we voiced them to Adam.
0:51:36 > 0:51:40And Adam, you know - it was his task, he was in charge -
0:51:40 > 0:51:44and he's listened to what we had to say, he modified some of the stuff.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48In the end, he still felt that the comedy was important.
0:51:48 > 0:51:53- And, you know, he's the leader and we backed him 100%.- OK.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55So, Adam, tell me about your group.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58- Were you happy?- Very happy.- Why?
0:51:58 > 0:52:00It just came off the way we wanted it to come off.
0:52:00 > 0:52:05If you lose, do you know who you're going to be bringing back?
0:52:05 > 0:52:06- Yes.- Who?
0:52:08 > 0:52:09No-one.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12In other words, if you lose, you think you're going to be fired.
0:52:12 > 0:52:13Yeah, but we're not losing.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17- You think it was that good?- Yes.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21That's a big statement.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26And, by the way, I heard great things from the executives
0:52:26 > 0:52:29about Adam and about Deborah.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31- Great. - Like, they both did a good job. OK?
0:52:31 > 0:52:33This wasn't, like...an easy one.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37Unfortunately, one team won, one team lost.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Somebody will be fired. See what happens.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45So tell me, Teresa, how was your project manager?
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Debbie's great. You know...
0:52:49 > 0:52:51- She is, I agree.- Yeah.- She is great.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52But, you know, I felt like...
0:52:52 > 0:52:56You know, Tia and I, we were in the other van
0:52:56 > 0:52:58and we really didn't know what was going on.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Is Debbie not a good communicator?
0:53:01 > 0:53:05Um, no. I mean, afterwards, she told us what she was doing. You know?
0:53:05 > 0:53:08But we just felt a little jaded. Like, you know... We were, like...
0:53:08 > 0:53:09A little left out?
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Unfortunately, we were playing beat the clock.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15I know these two to be the quickest idea people
0:53:15 > 0:53:17and sometimes, in the situation...
0:53:17 > 0:53:21I was very much listening, whether they realised it or not,
0:53:21 > 0:53:23to every idea that came up.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26And I felt like I ran everything by everyone and said,
0:53:26 > 0:53:27- "Does everyone like this?"- Aubrey,
0:53:27 > 0:53:31was Deborah decisive, would you say, as a project manager or not?
0:53:31 > 0:53:33Decisive isn't the word.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36She wasn't all the way a complete opposite of that word,
0:53:36 > 0:53:39but decisive is clear and concise...
0:53:39 > 0:53:43- So you would say she was OK, not great?- She was good, not great.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48OK. Tia, you've been very much under the radar
0:53:48 > 0:53:50and yet I see people respect you greatly,
0:53:50 > 0:53:53but I don't know anything about you. What did you do on this task?
0:53:53 > 0:53:57On this task, I was the moderator of the proceedings.
0:53:57 > 0:53:58They were forced into a vignette.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01And have you actually been purposely going under the radar,
0:54:01 > 0:54:04- would you say? - I'm learning the game.
0:54:04 > 0:54:09I'm very mindful of learning people and trying to be, you know...
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Approach it with a caring, you know...
0:54:12 > 0:54:14OK, forget it. Don't worry about it.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18So, Deborah, if you lose,
0:54:18 > 0:54:23- who are you going to bring back to the boardroom?- Oh, God.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26- I do have two people I can name. - Go ahead, who are they?
0:54:26 > 0:54:30And it's based on, not only this task, but what I think they might
0:54:30 > 0:54:33- bring or not bring moving forward. - It's OK, it's based on history also.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37- It's all right. - And that's Tia and Teresa.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39OK. Tell me why.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42Maybe they just haven't, much like Lou's frustration, maybe
0:54:42 > 0:54:44they haven't gotten to show all they can do. I think Teresa's...
0:54:44 > 0:54:48I don't think Teresa's shown what she can do, I will say that.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50- She's very creative. - Do you agree with that, Lisa?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Yes, I think there's un-mined territory there, I just don't know
0:54:53 > 0:54:55- how much.- Yeah, I think so, especially with regards to Teresa.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58- Yeah.- It's just more about the owning who she is and I think that's
0:54:58 > 0:55:00part of leadership, and I think there's a lot
0:55:00 > 0:55:03of creativity in there. But what happens is, and I think
0:55:03 > 0:55:06why we sometimes plough ahead with ideas without her is,
0:55:06 > 0:55:10because there's a hesitation. And in that hesitation, it's like...
0:55:10 > 0:55:14- So, you're saying Teresa hesitates? - Doesn't own who she is.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16- I...I think... - I don't think she knows who she is.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19- I disagree, very much. - Go ahead, Teresa.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22No, I... Obviously, she doesn't know me, so I disagree with that.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26I will say your persona to date is very different from that which,
0:55:26 > 0:55:28perhaps, you're associated with.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Do you think you are being overly reserved and cautious,
0:55:31 > 0:55:32in the context of this show?
0:55:32 > 0:55:34Not at all, no. I mean...
0:55:34 > 0:55:38I can constructively criticise myself as much as I am with her.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Well, Deborah, do you think that Teresa is very smart?
0:55:43 > 0:55:46I do think she's smart, I do think she's smart, but she doesn't own it.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- I think that if she did, she'd be unstoppable.- I can see that
0:55:49 > 0:55:52- though, Teresa. You know, you're different.- If I'm not the project
0:55:52 > 0:55:55- manager, I'm not going to own it. - In the boardroom, if you're being
0:55:55 > 0:55:57criticised and being attacked, you can't just disagree.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00That's nice to disagree, but you need to have a thesis to back it up.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02- Well, when we come back... - Why do you disagree?
0:56:02 > 0:56:05- How are you going to prove that to her? - If we come back, then, you know,
0:56:05 > 0:56:07I guess that'll be for Mr Trump to answer, you know.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Well, shouldn't you do that now?
0:56:09 > 0:56:12The more defensive I would think you get now, the better you stand up for yourself,
0:56:12 > 0:56:15- the less likely you are to be put in that situation...- Well, I disagree.
0:56:15 > 0:56:20- ..cos she doesn't want to go against someone who's going to not be meek. - Teresa, can I cut to the chase here?
0:56:20 > 0:56:23- Yes.- Just flip the boardroom table over, so we can move on here, please.- Well, I'm not there.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Can't you see where this is heading?
0:56:25 > 0:56:30Well, Mr Trump, she's trying to say I don't step up. I did step up.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32A lot of things in the first task, second task
0:56:32 > 0:56:35and third task were from my doing, from my saying
0:56:35 > 0:56:36and the project manager listening.
0:56:36 > 0:56:40- Well, no-one task could've gotten done without everybody's help. - Correct.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43- But some people are more proactive...- Well, this one you had your favourites.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46- No, some people are more proactive and forward thinking than others. - Yes, you did.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50- Yeah, whatever, Debbie. - I don't really care who gets the credit in a team.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53- Well, cos you're trying...- I really don't care whose idea something was.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55That's a very good statement, Deborah.
0:56:55 > 0:56:56I mean, that's all about winning.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59It gets to the end of the day and I go, "I don't know..."
0:56:59 > 0:57:02That's a Derrick Jeter-type statement, right? That's Derrick.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04- Number two.- Is he great? - He's the one.- We love Derrick.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08- It's not an A-Rod statement, it's a Derrick statement.- Absolutely.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12All right. So, Tia, she also wants to bring you back in,
0:57:12 > 0:57:14- if your team loses.- Mm-hm. - How do you feel about that?
0:57:14 > 0:57:16- I fully expected that because... - Why?
0:57:16 > 0:57:19..by design, we were marginalised. We were put in the other van.
0:57:19 > 0:57:20- The two of you?- Yes.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23This is her, you know, this is her dream team here
0:57:23 > 0:57:26- and they come up with ideas and... - Oh, really? And what about Patricia?
0:57:26 > 0:57:29- Oh, and Patricia, of course. - When you have less than 24 hours...
0:57:29 > 0:57:30But I did come up with very good ideas...
0:57:30 > 0:57:34- Really, you're saying that everybody is her pet, except the two of you?- Well, in this task and...
0:57:34 > 0:57:36The photo idea was a great idea on its own.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39It didn't ultimately feed the concept and I really felt like...
0:57:39 > 0:57:42It didn't feed your concept. I had a fully fleshed out concept.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45Well, ultimately, I thought that was not our best use of time
0:57:45 > 0:57:47because I felt like, at the heart of what we were doing,
0:57:47 > 0:57:49we had characters and anecdotes and it didn't fit.
0:57:49 > 0:57:53OK, Tia, what did you think of Deborah as your project manager, therefore?
0:57:53 > 0:57:57I find Deborah's style to be very off-putting.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59She has a way of, if you come up with an idea,
0:57:59 > 0:58:02"I don't have time for that, right now."
0:58:02 > 0:58:03I don't remember saying that.
0:58:03 > 0:58:06But you shut people down in a way that's very dismissive
0:58:06 > 0:58:09and very condescending.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12"OK?" That kind of thing, and it's like, wow, really?
0:58:12 > 0:58:15You've done that to me too.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18Unfortunately, you did that to everybody in this room.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20- Teresa, how do you feel?- She's done that to me, too.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22And why is that?
0:58:24 > 0:58:26You need to ask her.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28Lack of respect.
0:58:38 > 0:58:43So, Don, tell me what the executives thought of the women's team.
0:58:43 > 0:58:46Well, they really liked how they integrated the four key
0:58:46 > 0:58:48features that they spoke about with the executives,
0:58:48 > 0:58:51like the thoughtful banner that you...you really heard that.
0:58:51 > 0:58:54That was probably something they thought a lot of people would miss.
0:58:54 > 0:58:56You heard that and delivered that.
0:58:56 > 0:58:59They liked Lisa's role and they liked Aubrey's passion.
0:58:59 > 0:59:02The negatives were that they didn't get a great sense of the brand,
0:59:02 > 0:59:05they didn't get a great sense of Buick from the presentation.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08They weren't sure what Tia's role was and Aubrey called the
0:59:08 > 0:59:10car a Verona, instead of the Verano,
0:59:10 > 0:59:13so that was a little bit of a slip up.
0:59:13 > 0:59:15That was after me tearing up about my mum's car accident.
0:59:15 > 0:59:18- They did like your passion. - Just twice.- That was exhaustion.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21- It was, but I could just...- Well, it might be, but that's pretty bad.
0:59:21 > 0:59:23No, I agree, but I had just cried about my mum
0:59:23 > 0:59:25being in a car accident.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27- That could be a firing problem. - Oh, God.- No, no, that's a bad one.
0:59:27 > 0:59:30- She got it right three times. - It was once that I said it wrong.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32But we could never say Donald Tramp.
0:59:32 > 0:59:35But they remembered the one time she didn't get it right, very well.
0:59:35 > 0:59:37- That sounds like a bad one. - Oh.- OK, go ahead.
0:59:37 > 0:59:40One more thing, they didn't fully understand the reflection theme.
0:59:40 > 0:59:43They didn't? OK. It was really about how your car
0:59:43 > 0:59:45is a statement on who you are.
0:59:45 > 0:59:46Did you get that, did you get it?
0:59:46 > 0:59:49Do you understand why they didn't understand?
0:59:49 > 0:59:51No, I actually thought we portrayed it,
0:59:51 > 0:59:53so I don't understand where we went wrong.
0:59:53 > 0:59:55Teresa, did you like the concept?
0:59:55 > 0:59:57Well, at first, the concept was supposed to be reflection
0:59:57 > 1:00:01- and then we changed it to...- No, it was, it was love your reflection.
1:00:01 > 1:00:03But the whole thing, remember, was supposed to be all about that.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05Then we changed it to the casting.
1:00:05 > 1:00:06That was just the through-line,
1:00:06 > 1:00:08it was a creative way of integrating...
1:00:08 > 1:00:10But it was still about reflection, is it not?
1:00:10 > 1:00:13- Absolutely, yes.- Well, it troubles me that your team doesn't even know that the
1:00:13 > 1:00:17- concept was reflection, Debbie. - It's not so good.
1:00:17 > 1:00:19Adam, you must be drooling over this.
1:00:19 > 1:00:24- You listen to this you now think you won, right?- I'm tumescent.- Huh?
1:00:24 > 1:00:28It's a big word - people can Google it when they get home.
1:00:28 > 1:00:32So, Ivanka, what did the executives think of the men's team?
1:00:32 > 1:00:35They thought they did a very good job.
1:00:35 > 1:00:38They thought, Adam, you were extremely engaging
1:00:38 > 1:00:42and you had a tremendous command of the product and the car, from
1:00:42 > 1:00:45the technical elements to, really, everything about the vehicle.
1:00:45 > 1:00:48They also thought that the Q&A was very good, that you answered
1:00:48 > 1:00:52all the questions very well and they loved Penn getting out of the car.
1:00:52 > 1:00:54In terms of some of the negatives,
1:00:54 > 1:00:57they felt that Michael was such an asset and yet
1:00:57 > 1:01:00you didn't have the kind of presence they wanted from you on the stage.
1:01:00 > 1:01:04- You were a little too reserved, despite the fact that...- They were very surprised by that, Michael,
1:01:04 > 1:01:08the presence, the lack of presence. It's not your thing, but...
1:01:08 > 1:01:13No, that's not my thing, but it's hard to when you have a guy, like this, I start to talk and then it...
1:01:13 > 1:01:15They really felt that your word carried a lot of weight.
1:01:15 > 1:01:17But the guy's not Al Jolson, he's a race car driver.
1:01:17 > 1:01:21He wears a helmet, so people don't hear it.
1:01:21 > 1:01:24They're car people and they expected something different. And that's OK, it's OK.
1:01:24 > 1:01:27Well, they really thought that your word carried a lot of weight,
1:01:27 > 1:01:30so they wanted you to sell a little bit more.
1:01:30 > 1:01:33They also didn't really get a sense of Buick's voice.
1:01:33 > 1:01:36So, they thought the brand messaging was very good, in terms
1:01:36 > 1:01:41of Buick the car, but not really the voice of this particular vehicle.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43They also felt that many of the other players had too
1:01:43 > 1:01:46marginal of a role, so there were a few stars and then everyone else
1:01:46 > 1:01:47was a bit in the background.
1:01:47 > 1:01:50But they did love you getting into the trunk, and getting out of it
1:01:50 > 1:01:53- in one piece, they couldn't believe it.- Well, I'm a big guy.
1:01:53 > 1:01:56Their last comment really dovetails into that, which is that they
1:01:56 > 1:01:59felt that there wasn't a real sense of community on the team
1:01:59 > 1:02:03and that was felt through the presentation.
1:02:03 > 1:02:06OK, does anybody have anything to say?
1:02:06 > 1:02:08Because we're about to pick the winning team.
1:02:08 > 1:02:12- Does anybody, Lisa, anybody? - I'm proud of my team.
1:02:12 > 1:02:13I think they did a great job.
1:02:13 > 1:02:16I think Adam did an amazing job and, if they were going to hire
1:02:16 > 1:02:18someone to talk about cars, it would be Adam.
1:02:18 > 1:02:22I wouldn't be surprised if we see Adam presenting a Buick in a few months.
1:02:22 > 1:02:25That could happen, Arsenio, I must tell you, it could happen,
1:02:25 > 1:02:26but it won't
1:02:26 > 1:02:29because the executives felt that the women did a far better job.
1:02:29 > 1:02:30They thought the men were good,
1:02:30 > 1:02:33- but they thought the women were amazing.- What!- Are you kidding?
1:02:33 > 1:02:35That means you're going to get 20,000,
1:02:35 > 1:02:39- plus 30,000 for your charity.- Wow. - So, a total of 50,000.
1:02:39 > 1:02:42Buick is contributing, as you know, 30,000. What is your charity?
1:02:42 > 1:02:47- It's Children International.- Look at you, all of a sudden, there's tears.
1:02:47 > 1:02:49I kept pushing that aside doing the task
1:02:49 > 1:02:52because I was in Manila a year ago and these women and their
1:02:52 > 1:02:54two-year-old, three-year-old children are combing
1:02:54 > 1:02:58through the trash heaps to recycle glass to feed
1:02:58 > 1:03:01the rest of the family, and 50,000 would go such a long way.
1:03:01 > 1:03:04- That's true, that's true. - I'm so happy.- Well, congratulations.
1:03:04 > 1:03:06- Thank you.- That's really fantastic. You did a great job.
1:03:06 > 1:03:08- Congratulations.- Wow.
1:03:12 > 1:03:16OK, ladies, go back to your suite, enjoy it.
1:03:16 > 1:03:19You can watch these guys on television, if you want.
1:03:19 > 1:03:21Great job.
1:03:21 > 1:03:26- Oh, my gosh. - Congratulations.- You won!
1:03:26 > 1:03:29Men, stay here, somebody will be fired.
1:03:37 > 1:03:40I heard what you said and if I was being snippy, I didn't even know it.
1:03:40 > 1:03:43- I was so stressed that I couldn't breathe.- No, I know, believe me.
1:03:43 > 1:03:46But I learned from that. I don't want to talk to people like that
1:03:46 > 1:03:47because I respect you guys so much.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49I came into this not knowing anything about you
1:03:49 > 1:03:52and I've been telling everybody what a lovely person I think you are.
1:03:52 > 1:03:54When Debbie pulled me aside in the room
1:03:54 > 1:03:58and wanted to make up for what she did, I felt like it was so fake.
1:03:58 > 1:04:00From any picture I've seen in a tabloid or anything,
1:04:00 > 1:04:03you're not that and I...I'm glad to know you.
1:04:03 > 1:04:05Well, that's why you can't judge a book by its cover,
1:04:05 > 1:04:07- you've got to open it up and read it.- I know.
1:04:07 > 1:04:10I can tell calculated people when I meet them, she's one of them.
1:04:10 > 1:04:11Like, she'll be nice to your face,
1:04:11 > 1:04:14but then she'll talk behind your back as soon as you turn around.
1:04:14 > 1:04:17- WHISPERS:- I didn't want to say anything bad about anybody.
1:04:17 > 1:04:18No, I know. I get it.
1:04:18 > 1:04:21I know, so...
1:04:21 > 1:04:24I love you guys, but I also want to listen to what they have to say.
1:04:24 > 1:04:26- OK, OK.- Oh, oh, let's see.
1:04:26 > 1:04:28Penn, are you surprised that you lost?
1:04:28 > 1:04:35I'm shocked and I'm shocked because I think that, if you were talking
1:04:35 > 1:04:39about real car buyers sitting there trying to learn about a car,
1:04:39 > 1:04:42I can't imagine doing better than that.
1:04:42 > 1:04:45- Could be, but that's what they thought.- I know.
1:04:45 > 1:04:47How do you feel about this, Lou?
1:04:47 > 1:04:50Well, I kind of expected it because I felt that everyone should be...
1:04:50 > 1:04:53- Wow, look at this, Adam, he's throwing you under the bus.- Wow.
1:04:53 > 1:04:56- ..everyone should be utilised in the front.- Can I say this, quickly?
1:04:56 > 1:04:59- I don't want to argue. - You should have everybody...
1:04:59 > 1:05:01I'm not going to argue with you.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04..maybe four people in the car getting out together, relating more to the brand name.
1:05:04 > 1:05:07- I'm not criticising you.- Did you recommend that?- No.
1:05:07 > 1:05:09Let me see something, your hand's up, Adam.
1:05:09 > 1:05:13- Yeah.- Your hand's up, Lou. Let me see your hand compared to his hand.
1:05:13 > 1:05:15Don't fight him, Adam, don't fight him.
1:05:15 > 1:05:17There's a big difference. Go ahead.
1:05:17 > 1:05:21No, here's the deal. I do want to say this, I didn't know we were
1:05:21 > 1:05:25being judged on who was being utilised and to what extent.
1:05:25 > 1:05:29I thought it was the best presentation for their product.
1:05:29 > 1:05:31And if I was in that audience,
1:05:31 > 1:05:34I wouldn't have been interested in who was being utilised,
1:05:34 > 1:05:37I'd be interested in how the product was shown and the knowledge of the product.
1:05:37 > 1:05:40Well, you're 100% right, but, in all fairness,
1:05:40 > 1:05:42they felt the women just did a better job.
1:05:42 > 1:05:44- In the Q&A, which was half of the... - They liked it.
1:05:44 > 1:05:46- Hey, what can I tell you? they liked it.- OK.
1:05:46 > 1:05:47Well, no, but they loved your Q&A as well.
1:05:47 > 1:05:49I mean, they thought that you did a great job.
1:05:49 > 1:05:51So, where did it fall apart, is the question.
1:05:51 > 1:05:54It didn't fall apart. They were going under...
1:05:54 > 1:05:57The women used four celebrities and they did a good job.
1:05:57 > 1:06:00And I will tell you, the executives felt strongly.
1:06:00 > 1:06:02They thought you also did a good job,
1:06:02 > 1:06:04they thought the women did a great job.
1:06:04 > 1:06:06All right, well, it did not fall apart for us.
1:06:06 > 1:06:08I'm sorry to be cross.
1:06:12 > 1:06:15So, Paul, who was the weakest player on your team?
1:06:17 > 1:06:20You know, I'm going to say Lou.
1:06:20 > 1:06:21Why? Why Lou?
1:06:21 > 1:06:27Adam put us in a position where he felt was best and I think that,
1:06:27 > 1:06:33as a team, we had the time to say, "Well, we don't like that"
1:06:33 > 1:06:35or "We do like it."
1:06:35 > 1:06:38Everybody had a voice in everything that was done, from the get go.
1:06:38 > 1:06:44- Absolutely.- So, I love Lou and you have to love Lou because...
1:06:44 > 1:06:46You didn't like the way he was complaining about
1:06:46 > 1:06:48not being used enough, right?
1:06:48 > 1:06:51- Well, I just don't think it was the way it was, that's all.- OK.
1:06:51 > 1:06:53How do you respond to that, Lou?
1:06:53 > 1:06:56Well, I agree at the fact that I spoke up and I went by what the
1:06:56 > 1:06:59project manager had to say, because I gave my ideas, my opinions...
1:06:59 > 1:07:02All right, that's OK, Lou, I understand.
1:07:02 > 1:07:05Who, in your opinion, Lou, is the weakest player in your team?
1:07:05 > 1:07:09- Michael Andretti.- Really? You didn't take a long time to think about that.- Wow, yeah.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11He's very knowledgeable about cars.
1:07:11 > 1:07:14- You could have switched roles, had Michael do...- No, no.- Let me finish.
1:07:14 > 1:07:16He could have done a small presentation,
1:07:16 > 1:07:18you would have brought the comedy side of you.
1:07:18 > 1:07:20That's my opinion, I feel Michael Andretti.
1:07:20 > 1:07:23Especially, everyone expected to see a guy with his background
1:07:23 > 1:07:25- taking the risk... - Well, I did, I have to say that.
1:07:25 > 1:07:27All right, but, Michael, let me defend you.
1:07:27 > 1:07:30And I know you did a good job. Adam, I know you did a good job,
1:07:30 > 1:07:33but I really expected Michael to take that position.
1:07:33 > 1:07:36Michael was on stage half the presentation,
1:07:36 > 1:07:37more than half of the presentation.
1:07:37 > 1:07:39But they criticised his presence on stage.
1:07:39 > 1:07:42Lou, do you mean Michael for this task or do you mean Michael overall?
1:07:42 > 1:07:45- Michael for this task. - Yeah, that's, I think we're...- OK.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47How can they criticise him? He's a race car driver,
1:07:47 > 1:07:49he's not a performer, he's not a live performer.
1:07:49 > 1:07:51I think they wanted that name.
1:07:51 > 1:07:52I mean, some of you aren't performers and,
1:07:52 > 1:07:54when you're on stage, you have this presence.
1:07:54 > 1:07:57You know, Arsenio said it better than anybody, including Don
1:07:57 > 1:08:00and Ivanka and the executives, they wanted that name.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03The Andretti name is unbelievable.
1:08:03 > 1:08:07But I disagree because he is a driver,
1:08:07 > 1:08:09- he has name that's associated. - I know he's got a name,
1:08:09 > 1:08:12- it's a brand...- I was thinking of, I know he actually does
1:08:12 > 1:08:14but the perception of the world.
1:08:14 > 1:08:17But what would you suggest that he do as it pertains to this task?
1:08:17 > 1:08:19Well, no, I'm...
1:08:19 > 1:08:22Look, I said it before, I don't want to say it again. I will say,
1:08:22 > 1:08:25one last time, I was shocked when he wasn't the project manager.
1:08:25 > 1:08:27- Michael, go ahead. - Well, I think, being...
1:08:27 > 1:08:30They didn't think you had a lot of energy either, by the way.
1:08:30 > 1:08:32You were up there and they didn't think you had a lot of energy.
1:08:32 > 1:08:37But I'm not a performer and, when you're sitting next to a guy that is one of the best in the business...
1:08:37 > 1:08:40Yeah, but you're talking about cars and you understand that.
1:08:40 > 1:08:42Arsenio is the only one that gets it.
1:08:42 > 1:08:45Clay, tell me, what do you think?
1:08:45 > 1:08:48Erm...a lot.
1:08:48 > 1:08:51About the Andretti thing, I'm sitting here thinking,
1:08:51 > 1:08:54if it were a singing task, who would you have do it, me or Dee?
1:08:54 > 1:08:56We have two people on our team who are singers.
1:08:56 > 1:08:59- Yeah, but it's not a good example...- But...- You're a singer,
1:08:59 > 1:09:00he's a singer, everybody knows it.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02He's a great comedian and a great guy,
1:09:02 > 1:09:05- and he may know a lot about cars. - And a great host.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08- OK, I know a lot about cars too.- And a great host, we used him as a host.
1:09:08 > 1:09:11I don't want to be...I'm not going to be speaking over Andretti
1:09:11 > 1:09:12and the Andretti family.
1:09:12 > 1:09:15He hosted Andretti and he allowed Michael to be the expert.
1:09:15 > 1:09:19Maybe that's the point, which is that Adam could be more versatile.
1:09:19 > 1:09:21If I'm Michael and I maybe don't have that versatility,
1:09:21 > 1:09:24I step up now because this is the one place I can definitely shine.
1:09:24 > 1:09:25There's no ambiguity there.
1:09:25 > 1:09:29I know cars and I assume Buick wants me to be part of that.
1:09:30 > 1:09:32Arsenio, if you were me
1:09:32 > 1:09:35and I have to fire somebody, and I don't like doing it,
1:09:35 > 1:09:39especially in this case, cos you did pretty well, who would you fire?
1:09:41 > 1:09:45Lou and I have a great relationship, he's like a brother to me,
1:09:45 > 1:09:50but we are having a hard time placing Lou. That's his own words.
1:09:50 > 1:09:52- He's been very unhappy. - Very unhappy.
1:09:52 > 1:09:55Cos he's a worker, he's a hard worker, he's always been.
1:09:55 > 1:09:57He's overcome tremendous difficulty
1:09:57 > 1:10:02and he's always been a hard worker, and somehow you're not using him.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05And maybe you should be the project manager, next time, Lou,
1:10:05 > 1:10:07if you make it.
1:10:07 > 1:10:11- OK.- No, maybe.- Mr Trump, I like Lou, too. I like all these guys.
1:10:11 > 1:10:14I didn't know any of these guys before this,
1:10:14 > 1:10:17I didn't know what their abilities were.
1:10:17 > 1:10:19It became very apparent, very quickly,
1:10:19 > 1:10:22who had strengths in what areas.
1:10:22 > 1:10:28Clay is very strong in many areas. Penn is very strong in many areas.
1:10:28 > 1:10:31Everybody has their own strengths and the way people judge
1:10:31 > 1:10:36you in this competition is exactly how you should be judged.
1:10:36 > 1:10:39We all formed an opinion based on performance,
1:10:39 > 1:10:42so whatever it is, I include myself in this,
1:10:42 > 1:10:47whatever they think of you, that's what you've earned.
1:10:47 > 1:10:49And you need to own it.
1:10:49 > 1:10:51- Good.- Very well said.
1:10:51 > 1:10:55- Wow, good statement.- Mm.- I feel so bad for Lou.- I know, I know.
1:10:55 > 1:10:58Yeah, Lou's going. It's sad, but true, cos he just wants to do stuff.
1:10:58 > 1:10:59- No.- Mm-hm.
1:10:59 > 1:11:02So, Dee, who is the weakest player on your team?
1:11:04 > 1:11:07By what he's shown to date...
1:11:07 > 1:11:09And I do believe, Lou, you have abilities
1:11:09 > 1:11:12and I've said to you straight out, you're not showing them.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15- Lou is the weakest at this point. - Who should be fired?
1:11:15 > 1:11:18I did not see the women's performance, it probably was
1:11:18 > 1:11:23amazing, but I do not agree with their assessment of what we did.
1:11:23 > 1:11:28This was a team effort and I don't know what they wanted us all to do.
1:11:28 > 1:11:33You know, it was a great job, but it was Adam's show and he should...
1:11:33 > 1:11:37- So, as project manager...- So, if you said to me...- But Buick loved Adam.
1:11:37 > 1:11:40Let me finish! If you said to me, "Who's the star?" Adam.
1:11:40 > 1:11:45Who should be fired, if it fails? It's Adam.
1:11:45 > 1:11:49OK. So, Michael, who would you fire?
1:11:51 > 1:11:53Lou.
1:11:53 > 1:11:57- Why?- Because there's a reason why there's never a place for him
1:11:57 > 1:12:00because, right away, all he wants to do is beat something up or
1:12:00 > 1:12:04whatever, but he never offers to bring anything business-wise...
1:12:04 > 1:12:07I notice, Lou, you're complaining a lot.
1:12:07 > 1:12:09You've got to sometimes go in and get it done, you understand that.
1:12:09 > 1:12:13- Definitely.- But what's worse is the complaints are only here.
1:12:13 > 1:12:15He never complains when we're back there.
1:12:15 > 1:12:18Lou does flip the script when we come through the door.
1:12:18 > 1:12:20Yeah, because I'm shocked to hear what he's saying,
1:12:20 > 1:12:24- because back there he's totally different.- Different guy.
1:12:24 > 1:12:27If he's got those concerns, why isn't he bringing them up
1:12:27 > 1:12:30- when we're back there? - Do you understand that, Lou?
1:12:30 > 1:12:31Yes.
1:12:31 > 1:12:37So, Adam, you're going to pick two people, you're going to go outside,
1:12:37 > 1:12:41the three of you are going to come back, somebody will be fired.
1:12:41 > 1:12:44- Who's it going to be? - I'm not going to do that.
1:12:44 > 1:12:46- You're not going to do it?- No.
1:12:46 > 1:12:49I was the project leader, I made the decisions,
1:12:49 > 1:12:55I did the presentation and, you know, if we lost...
1:12:55 > 1:12:58So you wouldn't pick Lou or you wouldn't pick Michael,
1:12:58 > 1:13:02- or you wouldn't pick Paul? - It's not their fault. This is on me.
1:13:02 > 1:13:06All right, then here's what I'm going to do.
1:13:06 > 1:13:09Everybody go outside, I'm going to bring you back in, I'm going
1:13:09 > 1:13:11to fire two people tonight.
1:13:11 > 1:13:13GASPING
1:13:13 > 1:13:18- Oh!- No!- Holy crap! Oh, my gosh. Let's listen.
1:13:18 > 1:13:21I don't like doing it, I don't want to do it,
1:13:21 > 1:13:24but the bottom line is you didn't give me a choice.
1:13:25 > 1:13:28Go ahead, Adam, go.
1:13:38 > 1:13:41Women, turn off your television, right now. Thank you.
1:13:41 > 1:13:44- Oh, BLEEP.- Oh, God.- Whoa.
1:13:44 > 1:13:47He's probably mad that Adam did that,
1:13:47 > 1:13:50- he doesn't like that, he hates that. - Oh, my God.- Yeah.
1:13:50 > 1:13:55Wow, when he said, "I'm going to fire two people" - that's hardcore.
1:13:55 > 1:13:58- Nice shot, Oswald. - This is ridiculous.
1:13:58 > 1:14:01They're doing two guys to punish Adam for his solidarity.
1:14:01 > 1:14:04If you had cracked and brought two people back,
1:14:04 > 1:14:07only one would've been fired.
1:14:07 > 1:14:08A lesson has been taught.
1:14:08 > 1:14:10Yeah.
1:14:18 > 1:14:21You know, guys, I respect all your opinions,
1:14:21 > 1:14:24to be honest at the table, it's a tough situation.
1:14:24 > 1:14:26I have no change of feelings for any of you.
1:14:26 > 1:14:28But, Lou, there are times when, and this is honest,
1:14:28 > 1:14:30- we're in that room... - Yeah, you don't say anything.
1:14:30 > 1:14:33- ..you're a different character. - Yeah, you don't tell us that.
1:14:33 > 1:14:35You go in there and you flip the script on us,
1:14:35 > 1:14:39- and I don't know who you are. - And, Lou, all you offered to do,
1:14:39 > 1:14:42every one of the tasks we've had, you have offered the same thing,
1:14:42 > 1:14:45"I will dress in a suit and I will flex my muscles."
1:14:45 > 1:14:49You have offered one thing and, when we don't use that one thing,
1:14:49 > 1:14:52we are under-utilising you. You need to offer two things.
1:14:52 > 1:14:55Well, it's a learning experience and it's a fact I've learned more...
1:14:55 > 1:14:57I'm learning, too. We're all learning.
1:14:57 > 1:15:00We've all had a lot of weeks to learn it and,
1:15:00 > 1:15:03if you're here next week, learning curve's over.
1:15:06 > 1:15:08So, Don, this has never happened before on The Apprentice.
1:15:08 > 1:15:11It's a little interesting twist, it kind of surprised me,
1:15:11 > 1:15:14- so I'm curious myself now. - Little bit tough. What do you think?
1:15:14 > 1:15:17I think it's interesting how the weak links are finally emerging,
1:15:17 > 1:15:20so I think you see it very clearly tonight in the boardroom.
1:15:20 > 1:15:23- Amanda, bring them in.- Yes, sir.
1:15:23 > 1:15:26Excuse me, gentlemen, you can go back in now.
1:15:26 > 1:15:29- All right.- OK. - All of us?- Yes.- OK.
1:15:43 > 1:15:47So, Adam, because you didn't bring two people back,
1:15:47 > 1:15:50I'm going to fire two people tonight.
1:15:51 > 1:15:55I was surprised you didn't bring Lou back or Michael back or somebody.
1:15:55 > 1:15:58I mean, you're not going to bring Paul, you're not going to bring Arsenio.
1:15:58 > 1:16:00I can see you're not bringing certain people back.
1:16:00 > 1:16:05You're not going to bring Penn, he did a great job, but why didn't you
1:16:05 > 1:16:09want to bring two people back that really could have been brought back?
1:16:09 > 1:16:14Well, because I felt like I was responsible for the win
1:16:14 > 1:16:18and or, in this case, the loss.
1:16:18 > 1:16:23I was project manager, I made most of the decisions and, you know,
1:16:23 > 1:16:28when a soldier gets out of line, they blame the general.
1:16:28 > 1:16:31In this case, I was the general.
1:16:31 > 1:16:34I have great respect for that and you're right,
1:16:34 > 1:16:36you were the project manager.
1:16:36 > 1:16:37You also did a great job.
1:16:39 > 1:16:41But, Adam, you're fired.
1:16:46 > 1:16:49- You go ahead, thank you.- Thank you.
1:17:01 > 1:17:05I was the project manager and we lost.
1:17:05 > 1:17:07Not only was I the project manager,
1:17:07 > 1:17:10I was the guy that was on stage the whole time and we lost,
1:17:10 > 1:17:13so I will definitely take the bullet.
1:17:16 > 1:17:19I think this one was very much like this,
1:17:19 > 1:17:23and somebody's got to win and somebody's got to lose.
1:17:23 > 1:17:29And the charity my charity lost to is a pretty worthy charity,
1:17:29 > 1:17:31so that's fine.
1:17:34 > 1:17:38So, Lou, Michael,
1:17:38 > 1:17:42your team just about unanimously said you were the weakest link.
1:17:42 > 1:17:44How do you respond to that?
1:17:44 > 1:17:47- I didn't feel that. - Well, I think they did.
1:17:47 > 1:17:51- They felt that I was a weak link? - I can tell you who did feel it.- Who?
1:17:51 > 1:17:53Arsenio felt that you should've stepped forward.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56I wish he would have said... I mean, I...
1:17:56 > 1:17:59He's not supposed to say it, Michael, you're supposed to say it.
1:17:59 > 1:18:02Arsenio said, better than anybody else, he said,
1:18:02 > 1:18:06"If I'm selling a car, I want an Andretti to sell that car."
1:18:06 > 1:18:09- I'm not a salesman.- Yeah, but you're a brand, you're a great brand.
1:18:09 > 1:18:12Yeah, I know I'm a brand and I went and...
1:18:12 > 1:18:14You're probably, to me, you're like the ultimate brand for a car.
1:18:14 > 1:18:18I understand that, but I thought, to sell this project,
1:18:18 > 1:18:21he was the best guy for the job.
1:18:21 > 1:18:23Arsenio, who do you think I should fire?
1:18:23 > 1:18:28In Michael's defence, he was on stage and I think the Buick
1:18:28 > 1:18:31people saw why he felt that wasn't the place for him.
1:18:31 > 1:18:34But you were talking before about his defence, you were saying,
1:18:34 > 1:18:36"Why didn't he step up to be project manager
1:18:36 > 1:18:38"and demand to be project manager?"
1:18:38 > 1:18:41I thought I heard you almost lead us in that direction in the park.
1:18:41 > 1:18:43I told him to be project manager. I wanted that.
1:18:43 > 1:18:46There are certain things in this country, when you think of
1:18:46 > 1:18:48- basketball or Jordan, it's synonymous.- Right.
1:18:48 > 1:18:51The Andretti name is synonymous with cars and I bet a company
1:18:51 > 1:18:53that sells cars wanted Andretti.
1:18:53 > 1:18:58They couldn't believe that he wasn't used in a different capacity.
1:18:58 > 1:19:02I told your team, "I know who's going to be project manager,
1:19:02 > 1:19:04"this is a no-brainer."
1:19:04 > 1:19:06And then, out of nowhere, Adam raises his hand,
1:19:06 > 1:19:10who's a comedian and a great guy, he knows a lot about cars,
1:19:10 > 1:19:13but he doesn't have any brand value for a car.
1:19:13 > 1:19:15If I had known that I was being picked for...that
1:19:15 > 1:19:18- I had to be the brand value of it... - Well, I think I sort of picked you.
1:19:18 > 1:19:22..but I thought, being part of a team, they could use my brand.
1:19:22 > 1:19:24I was part of the brand, I was up there, I was...
1:19:24 > 1:19:27And yet, they didn't think you had great presence.
1:19:27 > 1:19:28Now, that's not really insulting.
1:19:28 > 1:19:31They thought you were very quiet and very reserved,
1:19:31 > 1:19:33and they were a little surprised.
1:19:33 > 1:19:35Well, being up there with Adam is pretty difficult.
1:19:35 > 1:19:38- You know, that's not my personality. - Well, I don't think it's difficult.
1:19:38 > 1:19:41And you are on your territory, in one way, because it is cars.
1:19:41 > 1:19:43I understand, you're on stage, it's different, but you've
1:19:43 > 1:19:48sort of been on stage all your life, a different stage, but a stage.
1:19:48 > 1:19:51A stage with a helmet on, yeah.
1:19:51 > 1:19:54Well, OK.
1:19:54 > 1:19:55Dee, who would you fire?
1:19:58 > 1:20:00Out of those two?
1:20:02 > 1:20:05Sorry, Lou. Lou.
1:20:06 > 1:20:08I mean, the one thing I like about Lou,
1:20:08 > 1:20:11he really wants to get in there and pitch,
1:20:11 > 1:20:13but Lou doesn't have the name to sell a car.
1:20:15 > 1:20:17How do you feel about that, Lou?
1:20:17 > 1:20:19I totally agree.
1:20:19 > 1:20:21I know they feel they want to jump on me
1:20:21 > 1:20:23because I'm eager to do this and that, but the truth is I'm
1:20:23 > 1:20:26an extremely honest person and sometimes I give honest answers...
1:20:26 > 1:20:28Sometimes you're too honest. He is honest.
1:20:28 > 1:20:29He's getting himself in trouble.
1:20:29 > 1:20:31The difference is, for me, he wants the ball.
1:20:31 > 1:20:33- No, he doesn't.- No, he doesn't.
1:20:33 > 1:20:35I don't see that, I don't know that I see that from Michael.
1:20:35 > 1:20:37- I'm out for the fight. - That's simply not true.
1:20:37 > 1:20:40- I haven't seen it yet from Michael. - I...that's my...
1:20:40 > 1:20:42That's my business, I'm the guy in charge and if...
1:20:42 > 1:20:46In that business, but do you have a comfort zone outside of that business?
1:20:46 > 1:20:47Yeah, I like being in charge.
1:20:47 > 1:20:49But, Michael, Michael, here's the problem,
1:20:49 > 1:20:53you didn't lose this task because of Lou.
1:20:53 > 1:20:55Whether Lou is in the background or
1:20:55 > 1:20:58whether he thought he should have been there - doesn't matter.
1:20:58 > 1:21:02You didn't lose because of Lou, you lost because of you and Adam,
1:21:02 > 1:21:04to a certain extent.
1:21:04 > 1:21:06But the executives felt that you should've stepped up.
1:21:06 > 1:21:09They wanted to see your name used at the highest level,
1:21:09 > 1:21:11not at the secondary level.
1:21:11 > 1:21:15And they thought you didn't have the presence for the task.
1:21:15 > 1:21:17Michael, you're fired.
1:21:21 > 1:21:23Thank you, thank you.
1:21:23 > 1:21:25Go ahead, fellas, get out of here.
1:21:40 > 1:21:42You knew where you belonged.
1:21:42 > 1:21:44OK, I'll talk to you later.
1:21:54 > 1:21:56So what do you think, Ivanka?
1:21:56 > 1:21:58I think you did the right thing.
1:21:58 > 1:22:00I think there was never a task more suited to Michael.
1:22:00 > 1:22:03Yeah, I mean, we know brand. It's a no-brainer for us as well.
1:22:03 > 1:22:05Well, I thought he was very good,
1:22:05 > 1:22:08but not for this particular task, and he should've been great.
1:22:41 > 1:22:43It's not a fun thing to be fired, especially, you know,
1:22:43 > 1:22:45on those merits.
1:22:45 > 1:22:48I think I would have accepted it had I really done something wrong,
1:22:48 > 1:22:52you know. So I'm a little disappointed in this, for sure,
1:22:52 > 1:22:56especially when I feel like Lou is really the weak link there.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58He didn't really do anything, he hasn't done anything on any
1:22:58 > 1:23:02of the tasks and, so, it was definitely a disappointment.
