I thought the first challenge was kind of cool & that the guys did blow it, but I thought the second challenge was pretty lame, with them just sitting there blowing the wind...

Same here. The freakish nature of the stunts is what makes this show for me. The business tasks are a bore, but I don't like The Apprentice either. Plus Shaun has been on the edge of elimination three times now and the show has only been on four weeks. They could've skipped airing this one all together. Their publicity stunts were idiotic. The only entertaining parts were the press actually showing up to that pathetic "wedding" and the size of Steve's ego thinking he could get the President, let alone a celebrity to referee their soccer game. 
The first two shows they didn't have the team tasks. The second episode was the best where they did stunts that were related to trust and risk assessment.

I agree. The first episode stressed the stunt stuff and the Benefactor-ish twists over the Apprentice clone elements. The Apprentice-type stuff is now getting more prevalent, and the tasks just are less interesting here. Even the stunts are even getting more blah.
Whoo hoo! Post #3000!

Who knew the losing contestant would join the Forbes list as the youngest female billionaire not to inherit her fortune?
http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.a...81474981176391
Forbes magazine recently released its most recent list of billionaires. Surprisingly over 1,000 people were on it. Of that amount, roughly one-tenth of them were female. But who are these women and how did they make into this élite status?
One is the founder of America's favorite shape wear—Spanx. Sarah Blakely, who spent years trying to get hosiery companies to add shape wear into their mix, finally decided to make her own when they continually turned her down. That's when she developed Spanx, which has become an American phenomenon.
Blakely, 41, is the youngest female billionaire not to inherit her fortune. Blakely earned the money herself. She's the sole owner of her business over which she exercises complete control. Best of all, the inventive entrepreneur carries no debt. That's despite the fact she's always adding new products to her line.
