Lights! Camera! Transaction!

You can almost see Pamela mentally constructing a cross she can hold out in front of her if this team ever approaches her in a vampire-like fashion and tries to convince her to join. Oh, Pamela.

As if to make the point that there is plenty of stupid petty crap to go around, we listen in on an Apex meeting at which Elizabeth complains that Sandy was helping Jen C. say bad things about the rest of the team in the boardroom. Sandy bitches in reply about Elizabeth crying during the task. Oooh, burn. Andy watches in amazement as the women argue, and Pamela's jaw literally drops as she sees them go after each other. You can almost see Pamela mentally constructing a cross she can hold out in front of her if this team ever approaches her in a vampire-like fashion and tries to convince her to join. Oh, Pamela. She tells us in an interview that she is "a competitor first and a woman second." Inside the suite, she says that she fears having the women's bad attitude spread to her like cancer, while back on the interview circuit, she reminds us that her team is made up of men. She's not rooting for, as she puts it, "uteruses versus penises," she's rooting for her team to win. Apparently, Pamela missed the meeting where it was explained that the role of a woman on this show is to be twee and fussy, not to talk straightforwardly about competition. Buuuuurn her!

The phone rings in the suite, and Chris answers it. Ew, I don't know if I needed to see Chris's nipple ring. I admit he has a nicer chest than I would have expected, but I don't know about the jewelry. Nipple rings kind of freak me out. I always want to hang a tiny, tiny towel through them. Anyway, Rhona tells Chris that Trump wants to meet the group at UPS at 8 AM. I'm sorry, UPS? How...captivating. Maybe they're going to do something with packing tape. Maybe they have to ship Faberge eggs without breaking any of them. Chris explains in his interview that the men, as usual, chose their project manager at random, and it turned out to be him. So this is two leadership weeks in a row for Chris. I hope he still hates the public, because I find that's really the most inspiring quality a leader can have.

At UPS, a guy who works much harder than any of these fools ever will in their entire lives is moving boxes in a back room. Out front, in a warehouse-ish space, the candidates enter and stand in their traditional cantaloupe. Trump is sporting a yellow tie, so apparently, he's all out of pink. He greets the teams and points out that George has returned from his business trip, so Boyfriend Bill has been sent back to Chicago to attend parties and have his picture taken. Trump reminds the women that last week, they suffered from a lack of leadership. The last thing he wants to do is actually make any of them stop screwing around and show any leadership qualities, so he has a plan to make sure that those without leadership skills can continue...not having any. More specifically, he has the Hose Pamela plan. He orders her, by name, with no questions asked, to not only change teams from Mosaic to Apex, but to be the Apex project manager, even though she has already been the project manager and there are four women on the team who haven't. Coincidentally, just as Trump moves her to the other team, Pamela swallows a bug, or so her face suggests. She strolls over to Apex, waving goodbye to the men who don't like her as she goes to stand to the women who also don't like her. An inhospitable environment if ever there was one. Once she's over at Apex, she actually blows kisses to the members of Mosaic. Yeah, no one's buying. Trump points out that, as he undoubtedly prefers things to be, we are back down to men versus women. He tells Pamela, "We're going to see whether you can pull this mess together." Furthermore, he says to her, "It's not going to be easy." He tells her that everyone on the team hates each other, that they have a level of hatred that's "beyond belief," and so forth.
