Lesson Fifteen: Shed Your Personality Like So Many Unwanted Pounds

Sean and Lee, the least memorable personages ever to grace your screen past Week Five, go head-to-head in a battle so uninteresting they don't even bother to show it.

2-4 Recap The dangers of little black dresses
The Last Supper - The teams try to open restaurants on short notice, and when the men master flirting and service while the women act pinched and irritating, it's another Apex loss. Despite an abundance of fire-worthy women, Jennifer C. is this week's bootee.

2-3 Recap The Tooth Hurts
Send In The Crowns - And so do the candidates' efforts at selling toothpaste. Circuses, Mets, and the bizarre and ugly firing of Stacie punctuate a week with an ironic absence of grins to be found.

2-2 Recap Donut underestimate good ice cream
Scoop Dreams - The teams are sent to sell ice cream, and after Baldford makes the fatal error of giving up the exemption he earned last week, he finds himself on his way home, giving Stacie, Ivana, and Jennifer C. a little more borrowed time on which to live.

2-1 Recap Welcome back, suck-ups
Toying With Disaster - The second season kicks off with toys and hair and red pants and whatnot. Bye, Rob. You were roadkill from the start.

1-14 Recap He's just a Bill
Down to the Wire, Part 2 - But he manages to take the competition right out from under Kwame's nose. Golf tournaments! Breakfast meetings! Assorama being dissed by Trump! Yeah, there's some good stuff here.

1-13 Recap Goodbye, young lovers
Down To The Wire - We begin with interviews that quickly do away with Amy and Nick, leaving Bill and Kwame to battle it out for the win. When some of the more recently booted candidates return to act as staff on the final task, Assorama proves once and for all that she is not to be trusted. Don't act surprised.

1-12 Recap The penthouse and the doghouse
The Price Is Height - This week's task takes the last five candidates to the ninetieth floor to rent out a lush penthouse for one night. When Nick and Amy get a last-minute save, Protégé heads for the Boardroom. A heartbreaker of a showdown between Kwame and Troy ends with the Idaho potato being sent home. Sniff. Love Troy. LOVE!

1-11 Recap The big gamble
Circus, Circus - The teams head to Atlantic City to come up with a game to attract casino patrons. It turns out that high rollers really do spend more, and a Bill-enriched Protégé manages a victory. After escaping the axe repeatedly, Katrina can avoid it no more, and she is fired.

Extra The dreaded clip show
A Look Back - Remember when there were ten episodes before this one? And they were really kind of good? Would you like to relive them? Well...okay.

1-10 Recap Your ad here
Wheeling and Dealing - When the teams are challenged to increase the revenue of a pedicab fleet for a day, VersaCorp hits on the idea of plastering the pedicabs with advertising. Troy hits on the idea of selling pedicab rides in bulk. It turns out about the way you would expect, and Heidi gets an overdue booting. Adios, chickadee.

1-9 Recap Adieu, Connoisseur of Art and Water
The Art Of The Deal - After a long string of bitch sessions, glamour-fests, harangues, and a bump on the head that's gotten more camera time than Martha Stewart in the last week, it's finally time to get rid of the truly odious Assorama. May we all soon forget she was ever here.

1-8 Recap Water, water, everywhere, and yet it costs a lot
Ice Escapades - The teams face off at the task of selling expensive Trump-branded water. Troy is still a great salesman, and Bill can close a deal in a pinch. Assorama? Nick? Not so much.

1-7 Recap "You must pay the rent!" "I can't pay the rent!"
Real Real Estate, Trump Style - The candidates renovate a couple of apartments and try to get them rented in three days. It's like Trading Spaces, with less skill and more yelling. Farewell, Tammy -- I think Tiger Woods did you in.

1-6 Recap The Unbearable Lightness of Carson Daly
Tit for Tat - VersaCorp and Protégé line up celebrities to pimp themselves for charity. Everybody loves Rocco DiSpirito and Carson Daly, which just goes to show you what's wrong with the world. And Trump hates everyone at the final table, but only can fire one of them, so it's Jessie going home.

1-5 Recap Somewhere Beyond The Flea
Trading Places - The candidates hawk their wares (what wares they come up with, that is) at a flea market, trying out new teams composed of some chicks and some dudes. Kristi folds like a pair of threes, and she receives the first female boot.

1-4 Recap Lonely Planet Hollywood
Ethics, Schmethics - The teams each spend a night managing Planet Hollywood. Both experience ethical dilemmas, but at least the men's strategy isn't putting anyone's life or liquor license in jeopardy. The men manage to drop their fourth challenge in a row, and Bowie takes the boot. Adios, Bowie.

1-3 Recap Sam's Enchanted Leaving
Respect - When Trump hits the teams with a negotiating task, the men take the opportunity to put Sam to the test. His paper comes back covered with scribblings in red pen, and at long last, it's time for Trump to dump the chump.

1-2 Recap Ad nauseam
Sex, Lies, and Attitude - Trump sends the Trumpettes into the big, cold world of advertising. The men's campaign is boring; the women's campaign is tacky. As you know if you watch any advertising, this means that the women emerge victorious. Goodbye, Jason. Don't be too rough on the tenants.

1-1 Recap Donald Trump and the suck-ups
Meet the Billionaire - Meet the sixteen fools who will be competing for an opportunity to suck up to Donald Trump for a living. Never have so many sold so much lemonade for so little reward. Thankfully, the "I have a high IQ" guy gets sent home first. Yech.
