Following the catfight that was the restaurant challenge on "Apprentice 2" last week, the women of Apex are a bit on edge Thursday (Oct. 7) night. However, Stacy R. still manages to crow that "the witch is dead" when she returns from the boardroom.

We guess this makes her the resident Munchkin.

Ivana, uselessly kissing up, says that Carolyn put it best when she said that based on Apex's performance and inability to get along she's ashamed to be a woman. Which isn't exactly true. What she said was that she was ashamed to be a businesswoman, but the Apex gals aren't making a name for themselves by being detail oriented.

The animosity continues as the women rehash their latest failure yet again in the kitchen while the men of Mosaic egg them on.

Pamela, still with Mosaic, says it's not a matter of uteruses against penises. She just wants her team, no matter what team that is, to win.

The next morning a call comes and everyone is summoned to meet Donald Trump at UPS. Following their established random drawing process, Mosaic arrives with Chris chosen as their next project manager.

The Donald informs the group that QVC, the much beloved electronic retailer of homebound people with too much disposable income nationwide (okay, that's not entirely fair -- we bought some crab cakes off of there once that were pretty amazing), is responsible for over $4 billion in revenue each year, causing UPS to ship over 50 million packages.

Thus, the teams are being assigned a simple sales task. Go to QVC's Pennsylvania headquarters, pick a product, price it and sale it live on TV for 12 minutes. The team with the highest gross sales wins.

Disappointed with Apex's performance over the past three weeks, Donald sends Pamela back over to them to serve as their project manager because he supposedly respects her and thinks she's just the one to straighten them out.

Pamela takes this to heart and sets about whipping Apex into shape. She says she doesn't want to hear about how they did it before since "that didn't f***ing work" and for the next 24 hours they are to do everything her way. Because, if they don't and lose again, it's just going to prove that they can't get it together.

She thinks they will appreciate and respond to a strong leader, but Maria says that she doesn't want to be lectured by someone her own age.

Over at Mosaic, Raj says this is a big challenge because if they lose Donald will see it as a failure due to Pamela's departure.

At QVC, Apex decides to sell the "It Works" cleaning block. Ivana wants to go for $19.99 for the price, but Pamela says that other comparable products on the market are going for $1 a sponge, making $30 for the set they are selling more reasonable. She compromises slightly by going with $27.

The men meanwhile go with the metrosexual grill, aka a Panini maker, for a whopping $71.25. Being a high ticket price item, in their allotted 12 minutes, they only manage to move 252 units, prompting Andy to note that the graph of callers he's watching to go down like the "1929 stock market crash."

Apex fairs better, with 659 sets of sponges flying out the door.

Unfortunately, due to the pricing difference, Mosaic still manages to win by a margin of less than $11 sending the boys to play tennis with John McEnroe and Raj to flirt with Anna Kournikova.

In the boardroom, Pamela tries to make Apex look as good as possible by insisting that for all intents and purposes the two teams tied. George is having none of it though, saying that if he loses a bid he loses a bid. But, really, if two bids came down to being $10 difference, wouldn't you factor in other considerations?

Pamela, classy lady that she is, brings in only two people to face judgment with her -- Stacy R. and Maria. Stacy R. because she adds zero value to any task, and Maria because she misrepresented herself as to her public speaking skills.

The only fault we can find with Pamela is that she doesn't flat out tell Donald that the reason she assigned Stacy to handle the legal angle of their assignment was because she knew there wasn't much of one and it should have kept her out of the team's hair.

But most of the blame for this firing goes to The Donald himself, who terminates Pamela because he says that she has poor people assessment skills and picked the wrong people for tasks even though when she discovered that she had made a mistake she rectified it immediately.

Funny thing is, we just read an article that said the best thing a manager can do for the first six months in a position is do nothing and get to know the lay of the land. Yet, Pamela had less than 24 hours to figure things out.

Carolyn also earns our disdain by emphatically insisting that Apex's item was priced too high without taking into consideration that a lower price wouldn't necessarily have translated into enough sales within 12 minutes.

Oh, and her yes-man agreement with Donald about what a good choice it was to fire Pamela even though she's "decisive" and "has a good head on her shoulders" doesn't exactly make her a role model for businesswomen everywhere either.
