Celebrity Apprentice Episode 8 - Do you ever shut up?
By James Phillip on Feb 24, 2008 in Apprentice
With the teams chopped up now the Don has the two crews sell a couple of items on QVC. The teams select Mary Lou and that sell out Stephen as project leaders.
Credit to Baldwin, he did step up and focus on the easy pay option QVC has which made their higher priced product a little easier to swallow. While Mary Lou’s team didn’t make mention of easy pay and they had Carol who had worked for QVC for 5 years the past!
In the end Stephan’s team won by a decent margin as they sold a more expensive product and certainly moved more product by pushing easy pay. The boardroom this time was once again rather boring and Mary Lou stuck with her bond to Carol and let her go. This alone should be the reason Mary Lou was fired since Carol missed the easy pay idea. In the end Donald notes Mary Lou was a bit spastic and talked to much so he fired her.
This was a long time coming. The shows talks about her in high regard but in every episode all you seen her doing was talking constantly and being a complete spaz so thankful the Don put his foot to ass on Mary Lou once and for all.
On a business note the multiple pay options are always a good way to move product. Over the years I know people that have used those payments options to buy TV’s and other goodies from places such as Crutchfield. The average American consumer over spends like crazy so if you can find a way to stretch them out and get your product sold then do so.
