Anyway, last night's episode began right on the tail-end of Deal or No Deal. Poor NBC. They're trying to hard to revive The Apprentice so hard that they're literally forcing it down people's unsuspecting throats. Soon the show will probably begin before Howie even says goodbye to us. It'll just appear on the giant LCD screen in the background. Nevertheless, the first thing we saw was Leslie feeling sad and sniffling. She was worried that she'd have to say goodbye to a friend, and who likes that? If only she could have seen her friend, Bryce, at that moment. He was self-destructing in the most entertaining way down in the Boardroom. It was a wonderful moment for the shot-in-the-foot annals, probably only trumped (heh) by season two's Bradford giving up his immunity and season three's Brian stating that he should be fired. Anyway, as we saw last week, Bryce was sent packing, and returning to the suite was the triumphant duo of Lenny and Lee, or as I like to call them, Leenny (or Lenlee or Lennee -- take your pick). Lenny then told us that he would be Project Manager for the next task, something that got me incredibly excited. Visions of him bossing people around in broken English was all I could really hope for. I had been fearing that Lenny would be gone before we could really see the true debacle of his management skills, but now, I could rest easily knowing that we'd soon be completing the total Lenny experience.

Well, if there was anyone who was sure Lenny would be the man of the hour, it was Lenny. "We're going to bury team Synergy in their graves," he said. And he probably meant it too. We suddenly cut to flashbacks of Lenny as a child growing up in Siberia, waiting in line three hours for stale bread, covering dead people on the streets with old bedsheets, hiding from the Nazis in a pickle barrel. Okay, I'm mixing my 20th century despair imagery. I better get back to the recap.
