The big conflict on The Apprentice the last couple weeks or so pitted lazy megalomaniac Omarosa versus potty-mouthed Heidi. After yesterday's episode, though, it's time to find a new conflict, as both women are now out.

Omarosa bit the bullet last week, as her continued shirking of duties after getting hit in the head with some plaster (which led to a "concussion") and continued irritation of everyone involved with the program added up to put her in a cab and out of Trump Tower. If you're still jonesing for some psychotic goodness, feel free to wander over to her official web site (which I won't link to, but it's obvious what the URL is if you think about it). It doesn't appear to have been updated since her ouster, but I'm sure she's working on some sort of nefarious scheme to relaunch.

Oh, I forgot to mention Omarosa's breakdown during the boardroom, where she went back in to plead her case before Trump summoned the group back in. She judged poorly (but, sadly, didn't turn into dust and skeleton before our very eyes).

Heidi, on the other hand, got the boot this week after her team lost and she, for the umpteenth week in a row, didn't seem to do all that much. Generally liked by the other contestants and a good team member, the assembled brain trust didn't seem to think she'd shown much initative or leadership, so adios.

This week's episode was strange, as the teams had to manage a pedicab business. Pedicabs, for those not in the know, are bicycle-powered rickshaws. It was probably the least interesting competition to date, though it did help to set up the new conflict pair of Bill and Katrina, who've been sniping at each other going back to the apartment challenge (where Katrina, the real estate person, had Bill handle the rental negotiations for some reason).

I continue to enjoy the show more than I thought I would, but the lame challenges make me fear for the sequel. It's going to wind up being televised virtual stock challenges or something.
