Apprentice Season 2: Favorite Episode

My favorite episode of the Apprentice that we have seen so far was the one where they had to create an ice cream flavor. The Apex leader was Ivana and the Mosaic leader was Kelly, the reward was dinner at the Petrossian. Apex ended up in the boardroom, but more specifically it was Ivana, Stacie J, Jennifer C and Bradford. Bradford got fired because of his rash decision to wave his exemption. The business lesson in this episode was 'Get Organized' because a lack of organization is a lack of leadership and without leadership, success is impossible. This was my favorite episode because I liked how they had to create an ice cream flavor and try to sell it themselves,
