The Apprentice becomes the master.

The Donald did something quite unexpected and original (at least for him) tonight on the Apprentice. With the most money raised for any regular (non-final) Apprentice event over $300,000 he chose not to fire anyone from either team. He has fired multiple team members in one sitting before, and he has fired two past team leaders after dismal results; but never has he waived his right to let someone off the hook.

What makes this unexpected and uncharacteristic decision of his especially sweet, is that Sharron Osborne's ass was on the line this time. She was project lead for the losing team. I am still not sure how she did not blow the other team out of the water with donations from a line up of Rocks Rich and Famous, but although her team including Bret Michaels they had the more original project, they still came out behind. Donald's reason for holding back from giving one of the celebs the pink slip was due to the total amount. The winners of all this was the charity that the winning project manager Holly Robinson Peete who is playing for Autisum.

I say it again, this show is great leadership training and should be required viewing. And since it is on late prime-time Sundays (9 - 11 P.M. EDT on NBC) I should be allowed to show up to work on Monday's two hours latter...
