You Just Don't Fit In

It is a lot harder to be a girl. All girls know this. The reason behind this difficulty is actually the girls themselves. When girls have it in for you, they won't hit you. They won't give you a wedgie. They will launch an all out psychological attack designed to leave the target a broken shell of a person huddling in their dark rooms wondering where they went wrong.

On the original Apprentice, The Donald dismisses his undesirables with a simple "You're Fired." Short. To the point. No room for argument or interpretation. On Martha's version, her hopefuls will be dismissed with a cutting "you just don't fit in." Ouch. The male version sends the message of poor performance while the female version is much more cutting. The unchosen one may have done a fabulous job and generated lots of profit, but really, did they fit in? Are the like the rest of the team? Wow, high school all over again. But, this time the torture comes with decoupage.
