team's task was so reminiscent of Occupy Wall Street's mike checks. This season of "The Apprentice" was filmed during the height of the OWS movement in NYC.

The Buick guys were clearly not happy with that aspect of the presentation. I noticed that one of them murmured something to the other one as the motorcycle guy yelled out, "You suck!" And I noticed that nothing about that was mentioned in the board room as Ivana listed the likes/dislikes of the guys' presentation by the Buick guys. Trump/Buick surely recognized the comparison of OWS & didn't want to call attention to it.

Adam didn't seem to care less about being Trump's apprentice. After seeing last night's episode, I wonder if he had planned all along to give OWS a subliminal shoutout in some way. He pulled it off & seemed fine with volunteering himself to be fired.
