As soon as the show opens, the teams change around players, and the game has changed from the inexperienced against the experienced to the battle of mixes. Magna and Networth go head to head, seeing who can auction off different levels of interaction with a celebrity, by holding an 11 minute on-air auction for the opportunities.
John, takes it upon himself to pitch the ideas. He presents it to them in such a way, that he's rude toward the girls... He steps over them, and cuts them off when they try to say something, or try to help to put thier two cents in.
Both teams came up with ideas on how to raise the most funds for AIDS research, but they had all these pre-concieved ideas, that even if the artists would have had better ideas for making more money, they would have not been heard by the young apprentices.
Both teams did a great job. Net worth raised $11,000 and Magna raised $21,000. By presenting the option of them putting their own ideas into the hat, Magna scored higher by having the artists interested in donating money personally.
Net worth is sent to the conference room, and one person must be fired. Chris - the team manager, chooses to bring John and Erin back with him to the conference room. In the conference room, Chris is confronted about not managing the jobs well enough, but in the end, John's inability to pitch a good offer got him fired.
This episode has taught me that I need to keep the options open for God to actually use a situation. Also the leader wasn't delegating the jobs to people's ability. He delegated the main job to a friend. You know the statement "It's nothing personal - its just business." Well, this time it was everything personal and nothing business. I think that was a huge mistake that thankfully did not get him fired, but at least he knows for next time.
