TEAM TENACITY
1) Maria Kanellis: Wow, I never thought I'd be putting her #1, but damn did she impress as Project Manager in the "Kodak Moment" challenge. She not only gained respect from the rest of her team, which I think she was lacking before because of her age, but she stood out huge to Trump as well. She showed that she is more than capable of organizing and executing, and her creativity is second to none. She's on top of Team Tenacity right now.
2) Summer Sanders: Summer kinda laid low in the first challenge when she was working in the kitchen, but was still an integral part. This week however, she got mentioned by name by the Kodak executives who were extremely impressed with her work and even said that they would hire her on the spot to be a rep for them. I've always liked Summer since her days as the host of Figure It Out (yeah I went there), but she showed here that she can be a formidable competitor to win this competition as well. Anytime you get singled out in a positive way by the execs for the company you're working with, that is nothing but good news. Trump took notice as well.
3) Holly Robinson Peete: I thought she did an excellent job the first week in organizing people as well as being the top fund raiser for the team. She's shown that she has the savvy to flourish in The Apprentice and she always seems to be the voice of reason in tough situations. She's been very impressive so far, even though she may not get as much TV time as Sharon or Cyndi.
4) Sharon Osbourne: I thought about dropping her a spot to #5 because of how she left sick, but I think she has a lot to offer to the team. She tells it like it is, and sometimes teams need someone like that to set them straight. She is also arguably the most recognizable celebrity that the women have. She could be very essential to their success and hopefully she doesn't bail out on them sick again.
5) Selita Ebanks: As gorgeous as she is, she's the one I tend to forget about on Team Tenacity. She played a central role in the first week, taking over the cooking duties for the most part which did win the team $10,000, but she didn't do too much this week. I would be very interested to see how she would do as Project Manager. She has ruffled no feathers though and that is a good thing.
6) Cyndi Lauper: What purpose does she serve really, besides purely entertainment value? I understand that along with Sharon they are the most recognizable celebs (although I couldn't point her out of a lineup before this), but she seems to be a bigger pain in the ass than anything else. Is she entertaining? Hell yeah. Funny? Yeah, whether intentionally or not. But I really thought she should have been fired Week 1 as she did a poor job as leader in a challenge where they got destroyed. The longer she stays around, the less credibility I give this show.
TEAM ROCKSOLID
1) Darryl Strawberry: To be honest I had a hard time finding a #1 for the men, so I'm going to have to go off of this week and say Darryl. He is loved in the city of New York and was their top celebrity attraction for sure. Trump seems to like him a lot as well and he's been good at everything he's done so far. He's kind of quiet too so we don't get to hear too much from him, but I think he's going to be hard to fire down the line.
2) Curtis Stone: He was excellent last week in the restaurant challenge as that's right in his wheelhouse. He's well spoken and the ladies seem to like him a lot too and that showed in the "Kodak Moment" challenge. Stone also seems like the type that isn't going to get on anyone's nerves. He's been strong so far.
3) Bret Michaels: Yes he had his little breakdown this week, but I think that was because of Sinbad more than anything else. The previous week as Project Manager he was excellent in his role, delegating when he needed to and making sure everyone had something to do. It's just too bad he seemed to wash all that goodwill away very fast with his little rant about the cameras this week.
4) Goldberg: I don't really know what to say about Goldberg. I can't say that he's really stood out in either of the last 2 challenges. He's not pissing anyone off either, but I'd like to see him in a more active role soon. He doesn't get all that much TV time either for that matter.
5) Michael Johnson: Michael just seems lost at times, like when he got confused this week. He's another guy that doesn't get a whole lot of TV time either so it'll be interesting to see what he's able to do. He seems like a pretty smart guy though, but he has to go down here on the list just because I haven't seen much from him.
6) Rod Blagojevich: I love Blago. He's entertaining as hell and funny as hell too, even though sometimes I don't think he's trying to be. That being said, he's definitely at the bottom of the rankings. He doesn't fit in with the rest of the group at all, and as evidenced by the balloon thing this week, I'm not sure they take very seriously. There's also the issue of the reaction that he gets from people on the streets, and I'd imagine that it's mostly negative. I'm not sure how that can be an asset to this team. I hope he does something great for them because I want to see him stick around. Trump was right though, he's got some guts for coming on to this show.
