Apprentice season 2 favorite episode

My Favorite episode was season 2 episode 2.

Task: Make a gelato ice cream and sell the most.

Leaders:

Mosiac- Kelly

Apex- Ivana

Reward: Dinner at Petrossian

Boardroom: Stacy J., Ivana, and Bradford.

Reason: Stacy sold on the wrong corner, Ivana was the leader, and Bradford waived his exemption.

Fired: Bradford was fired because he waived his immunity like a fool.

I liked this episode because the challenge was so interesting.

This episode taught me that you shouldn't take unnecessary risks.

Current Event


Oil prices jump on new output deal. Non-OPEC oil companies promised to cut production by 558,000 barrels to reduce over supply and boost prices. This is the first big agreement between non-OPEC in 15 years. They hope more cooperation can benefit them in the future.
