The men team lost again. It’s the forth time they are beaten by the women. Trump asked again: what happens? And it did happen, when I was watching The Apprentice. The Apprentice is a hot TV program like some kind of Truman show, which is imitated by Win in China (赢在中国). It started that Donald Trump, the biggest real estate developer, wanted to find a new CEO for one of his companies, a apprentice. And 16 candidates were selected, including 8 men and 8 women. They are divided into two groups by their gender. Each week they got an assignment, and the team lost will be at the board room, where one of them would be fired. 

 I just begin with the very first album. The Apprentice seems to have more than 6. Until what I have seen, four assignments have been finished and the men team lost again and again. Every time I am confident that they would win, they lost. It just makes me sad. When I want to go on with the fifth assignment, Trump, the standard maker, regroup the teams. And there are no men team or women team, and there are mixed teams. Now no hope that men team will turn it over, and win even once.  

Trump said to the women: “ You beat the guys fair and square. But you are coming a little close to the line, relying on your sexuality to win.” Yes, every time when selling or buying women use sexual strategies, which really help. Even in the advertisement, they made ads about sex, which is more attractive.  

The men lost. But It’s not just sexuality. It’s more than sexuality. There are two causes more important for the lost, in my opinion.

 First, it just didn’t come to the parts men are better at. Men are good at logic and have a full picture of something, while women are good at getting well with people and more emotional. Men would do better when come to such subject about logic or bigger deal. Just look forward to it. Second, all these men are leaders, but it confused and mess the team when leaders get together. They are in chaos when there are many leaders in the team. Additional to this, there is a bomb in the team, Sam! He is biggest problem in the team. But the fact is that after he left, the men team still lost.  

The Apprentice is a good TV program, no wonder it was hot years ago. And it’s also useful for us business student to have an interview, as some people say. If you are looking for some video like that , I give you The Apprentice.
