***Please welcome our newest recapper, miss CHERIE!
50 cent is giving fourteen would be entrepreneurs a chance at $100,000.00 from his own bullet riddled pocket. All they have to do is survive 9 gunshot wounds and a stabbing or two. Ok not really. They have to compete against each other and prove they have what it takes or as 50 Cent so eloquently puts it, "Get the fuck outta here".
What a charming young man!
50 tells us that in life, you can trust no one. You have to choose your crew wisely. I couldn't agree more. Mainly because I am not stupid enough to disagree with someone who survived being shot 9 times at close range. It's just common sense.
Lets meet the first group.
Larry is a financial consultant from Tampa Florida. 50 tells us he has real world experience but that doesn't mean he will have real world success. Larry's father was killed when he was four. Its what motivates him to succeed. I'm betting Larry's wound a little tight and we will see some fireworks from him quickly. Or he'll be boring as crap. Hey I just met these people I don't know.
Ryan is listed as an Internet Dreamer from Lancaster, PA. Amish country. As soon as he starts speaking I am convinced that the Amish will deny this. That dude is so not Amish. But 50 said he was from Amish country so I ain't arguing. And just what the hell is an Internet Dreamer?
The Amish ain't what they used to be.
Joanna is from LA and is a retail manager. Please. She works at the Gap. She's got style and energy, but will it be enough? Oh I see. She's the resident hoochie. Three of her last 5 ex's have been managers of hers. Look out 50 she plans on making you number 4. She says you just gotta know how to play the game. Since she has 5 ex's and still works at the Gap I'd say she needs to read the play book again.
Nikki is a Marketing Rep from Aurora, IL. 50 tells us she has more passion than anyone he usually deals with. Haha that means she's a nut. She tells us that she is competetive and if there is a last Rice Krispy Treat on the counter and someone else wants it, she will have it! I love her already.
Cornbreadd, aspiring music mogul, Houston, TX. My first impression is that this dude is toast. Oh sorry, Cornbreadd. That's right. He spells it with two d's. And his hat is all crooked over his eye. He tells us he's a mover. A shaker. A candlestick maker! Pretty sure he will be the resident asshole.
Needds.Nno.Captionn.
DaJuan, Independent Promotor, Gary, IN. 50 tells us he's hungry and determined to find success by any means. He has no plan B. And that could be his down fall. Precious, Small Business Owner, Lancaster, CA. I had a cat named Precious one time. She was a bitch. Musso. Bartender, Brooklyn, NY. First impression....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
They are all standing outside on Roosevelt Island, New York when 50 pulls up. He informs them that he chose them because they are the best of the best. Seriously? Okay, I'll play along.
He wants someone who can hustle like him, think like him and get their money like him. And if he thinks for one second someone ain't pulling their weight, he'll bust a cap in their ass. No not really, he'll have one of his "associates" do it. Ok seriously he just makes them leave the show. Wouldn't it be great if he got to shoot them instead? I vote Cornbreadd gets shot first.
50 explains that they are on Roosevelt Island sandwhiched between his hometown Crazy Ass Queens and Money Making Manhattan. I'm gonna need a map. He wants the skyline to be their inspiration and officially starts the craziness with "Let's get started".
Thanksgiving. My house. Bring a pie.
50 is the Boss. Tony Yayo is the Under Boss. Tony is perfect because he can take orders, execute them perfectly and be his own boss at the same time. Tony and 50 are going to pick groups and each group will have a Boss.
50 picks Joanna first. She tells us she knows how to lead people. She should. She's been with enough of them. Tony picks Ryan because he says he looks confident. He looks like a scared little white boy with corn rows to me but ok.

Great recap, Cherie.
Maybe Ryan is an "internet dreamer" because he has no electricity in his house, being Amish and all.
Seriously, a lot of people live in Amish country that aren't Amish.

Aww thanks you two! Chooch they are playing for 50 or Fiffie as my Meemaw calls him, to invest $100,000 in a business deal for whoever wins. And not to get shot.

Great job Cherie! Never would have pictured 50 cent doing "The Apprentice" but this should be fun.

Cherie, welcome to TVGasmRecapperLand.
I would never look at this show...unless someone paid me $100,000. So thank you for recapping. You have all of the qualities I appreciate in a recapper: sarcasm, dark sense of humor, and the willingness to watch crap TV and remember it long enough to tell us about it.
