CAN YOU FIT IN? Loved, loved, lurved episode two of The Apprentice, in which the men learned that pleasing one's client is, in fact, part of being a good businessman, and the women reminded us all that sometimes a jet engine is just a jet engine, and sometimes it's a huge, gaping Special Lady Place waiting for you to fit in.
What I most appreciated about the episode was the notion that flying the women to Boston for dinner was an inculcation into The Trump Lifestyle, and that's because they flew all the way to Boston via private jet to eat at Todd English's Olives when there's an Olives in New York as well. Trump Lifestyle, indeed. And you wonder how he went broke.
(P.S. Jen and I love the Olives at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Sit on the terrace, watch the water show, and for heaven's sake don't leave without ordering the flatbread with fig jam and proscuitto.)
(P.P.S. For what it's worth, given how much abuse I've given the show, this week's ER was tremendously good, moving and dramatic, all the things we've missed about the show. Why did it work? Because rather than be a soap opera about the doctors, it was a drama about their patients through which the doctors' characters were revealed. Excellent stuff. Bring on the ER:NICU spinoff!)
