Weekly summary Week 1: "Meet the Billionaire" Air date: January 8, 2004 Task: Starting with seed money of $250, purchase supplies and sell lemonade on the streets of New York. Judges: Donald Trump; Carolyn Kepcher; George H. Ross Monologue: Location, Location, Location – Any product sales depends on the location, it has to reach the right target demographic. Protégé project manager: Ereka Versacorp project manager: Troy Winning team: Protégé Reasons for win: The women nearly quintupled their money. They stay in Midtown and use the promises of kisses to sell lemonade for five dollars a glass, giving them a total of over $1,200. Reward: Visit Donald Trump in his penthouse suite, taking in the pleasures of true fortune. Losing team: Versacorp Reasons for loss: Versacorp only doubled their money, giving them a total of $500, as they chose a bad location, by the Fulton Fish Market, and priced their lemonade too low. While they eventually found a better location and started selling the lemonade at a slightly higher price, it was far too late to have any hope of recovering the task. In addition, David and Sam proved to be extremely poor salesmen, selling less than $10 between them. Dramatic tension: Versacorp member Sam begins to get on the other's nerves by his crazy antics, including fruitlessly trying to sell a single glass of lemonade for $1,000, even though he nearly succeeded. Sent to boardroom: Troy, Sam, and David Fired: David Gould – for selling the least on the team, admitting in the boardroom that sales was not his forte and for not stepping up or taking initiative as Troy and Sam had. Despite criticizing Troy's leadership and his decisions along with Sam's strange behavior, Trump felt that they had at least showed some initiative, while David had been very passive and otherwise demonstrated no skills that would be of any use to Trump.
