Stephanie's subway ride to nowhere
Stephanie, as project manager, would have seen the event happen and therefore been able to decide for herself, except she decided to take the pre-ordered pizzas to the construction site by subway. "The New York subway is a great experience! Hell, I'd never been in the New York subway in my life," she gushed. Free tip for the future: Perhaps a time-sensitive task isn't the best time to take that opportunity for historic firsts like a subway ride.

Faced with that astute leadership, Net Worth predictably lost to a Magna team that took a long time to get started but then, in typical Magna fashion these days, thought big, got the big corporate orders, and won the challenge. Their reward: Breakfast with Donald — sausage, omelets and conversation. Clearly the most important meal of the day.

Stephanie still had one chance to prove her leadership abilities. It didn't seem that difficult a task. All she had to do was convince Alex, her teammate from Day One, and the man who had brought up the whole threat allegation in the first place, to join her in attacking Chris in the boardroom.

But Chris' comments in the beginning about Alex, laughed off as ironic by anyone who'd seen them arguing in the trailer, turned out to be spot-on. Alex was honest, telling Stephanie he couldn't guarantee her anything and telling the camera that "Chris has such great potential. Stephanie has used up everything she has."

That potential kept Chris around for another week, albeit with the knowledge that Donald Trump called him "a disaster" several times and warned him that he'd "better get it together."

Alex told the cameras that "[Chris's] fuse is so short and his pride is so big that he's a liability." Yet he keeps hanging around … for the time being. But while Stephanie got the boot this week, Chris will follow soon enough. Because in the end, potential won't be good enough without some better results.
