They get colored doo rags. Black stands for Team Power. Green is Team Money. Joanna and Ryan's doo rag has a big B on it for Boss.

First Lesson: Choose Your Crew Wisely

Ryan chooses Derek from Plant City, FL.

Joanna chooses Cornbreadd. (I bet they lose)

Ryan chooses Rebecca from Sunny Brook Farm....sorry. She's actually from Santa Monica, CA. But seriously she looks like if you said BOO! she'd shit her pants. And she's a yoga instructor. A wandering mystic.And she's devoted her life to humanity and the greater good. She's batshit crazy.

No one who uses a rock as deodorant should be in business.

Joanna chooses Nikki.

Ryan chooses Mehgan from TX who grew up with out a father. Or a mother. She was raised by squirrels in a pecan tree. Or maybe her Grandma. She's a business major

Joanna chooses Jenn from San Diego. Another for real white girl. She says she's a girly girl and that there's nothing 50 could throw at her that she wouldn't do. That means she's a whore.

Ryan chooses Musso. Joanna chooses Larry. Ryan chooses DaJuan. Joanna chooses Nima. An Ad Rep from L.A. He's extremely different from everyone else because he wants to make a lot of money. Without anyone being his Boss. Yeah that'll work.

Ryan chooses Nathan from Calhoun, GA! Since I too am from Ga I really hope he doesn't do anything too stupid. Nevermind. Too late. He's got more ladies than 50's got Mercedes brutha! Did I say I was from GA? I am from outer space. I take that back. I am from GA he's from outer space. Planet Nerdlandia.

Joanna chooses Precious. And Precious is pissed that she was the last one picked. She wanted to go through the roof but since they are outside she decided to just pout instead.

Finally the first test! Each Boss must lead their team on a five mile foot race from Roosevelt Island to Camp Curtis, their new home. All they have are instructions and the wit of their crew. The first team to open the door wins.

Simple no? NO! There's a twist. Yesss! Out comes Tony with what looks like a harness and some heavy ass chains. The teams will be bound together! Cut to Precious being bleeped (I think she said something about Fornicating Under Consent of The King) and saying "Oh hell no". Hahahaha oh hell yes!

Only the teams will be chained together. The Bosses will be free.
Apparently they can't even chain themselves properly or fast enough causing Tony to yell "Hurry the bleep (pretty sure he said fudge) up. Y'all are keeping the boss waiting. Then 50 adds," This ain't no high school reunion. Shut the fuck up". I want Tony and 50 to come to my house for Thanksgiving.

Final words of advice from Tony. "Don't fuck it up!". I just love him. And they are off! Gee I hope nobody falls down.

Ho Down!

Sadly Rebbeca busts her ass almost immediately. And when I say sadly I mean hilariously. To her credit she kicks off her heels and keeps running barefoot. Over rocks. Then again I didn't own a pair of shoes until I was 15 so suck it Rebecca.

Joanna and Team Money is in the lead as they cross into Brooklyn. Ryan of Team Power is worried since he has no clue where he is going. Other than the DIRECTIONS he was given. Dumbass.

Oh hell! Old lady down! DaJuan just plowed down an old woman in the street. She got caught in the chain. DaJuan doesn't give a shit and wants to keep moving. DaJuan is an asshat.

I'm tellin' ya, that old lady had it comin'.

Rebecca decides she's staying with the old lady, who is still on all fours. Only in the next frame you see Rebecca still chained to the team and no old lady in sight. It's the thought that counts. She thought about helping the old lady, but said screw it.

Team Power is behind and they are starting to turn on each other. DaJuan, the old lady killer and Derek start bleepity bleep bleeping at each other and DuJaun keeps putting his hand in Dereks face. Derek finds this objectionable and tells him he has one more time to do it. DaJuan does it again. Nothing happens. Way to build street cred there Derek. What are you gonna do next? Count to ten?

pixielated:

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.

chooch850:

Now I need to watch another show!! I need to see Precious for myself.

I'm a little confused on just one thing.... What exactly are they playing for besides the money???

Great recap. Loved the pic caps too!

Welcome Mon!

Cherie:

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.

dr. birdie:

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

Giffordsaz:

Honestly I did not want to watch this show. Not for one little second. After your recap I now know I have to find a rerunand catchthis pile of wonder..... great writing.

Cherie:

Thanks Doc. Where the hell have you been?

Giff you know you are my favorite person in all the land right? Don't tell chooch, she gets jealous.

Pixielated, since you were my very first poster of my very first recap, you have won a giant prize. Uhhh details to follow. Later. Its in the mail. I swear on Meemaw.

blahblah:

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.

Cherie:

I think I may cry! Thank you blahblah. Now YOU are my fav poster! Smooches!
