Performance

On the show, Pamela was portrayed as a tomboy. She spent some of her free time in the gym lifting weights. On the episode of her firing, she was transferred over to the other team by Trump as a way to bring some success. However, the other team members didn't like her technique of leadership. Pamela hadn't spent a lot of time with the other team members to accurately judge their skills. This led to her assigning inappropriate tasks for her team members and was fired by the Donald. At times, she was perceived as harsh-mannered. The reason Trump gave for firing her was that he considered her to not be a good judge of people. Ironically, her team lost by less than ten dollars and if they had charged two cents more per item they would have won.

Performance

Jones Upchurch disturbed many of her teammates in their first task by repeatedly referring to a Magic 8-ball while awaiting the outcome of the task. This was the first impression she made with her teammates and it eventually led to her termination.

Concerned about the issue, Trump ordered all team members back into the boardroom to discuss it. After hearing each woman confirm Jones Upchurch's behavior, Trump decided to make her the third candidate fired from The Apprentice 2. His reasoning was that he did not want someone causing the rest of the candidates upset or nervousness.

Performance

Ivana proved herself to be a tireless worker in the game despite her penchant for finishing the majority of tasks on the losing side. Ivana's record as Project Manager, though, was extremely shoddy: 0 wins for 2 losses. During the M&M's M-Azing Candy Bar challenge, Ivana failed to bring her team under control and behaved rather unprofessionally in the street (specifically, she offered to pull down her skirt for whoever paid for the chocolate she was selling--and her team still lost). In spite of Kevin's low-pricing strategy, Ivana was fired then, in Week 13, the M&M's Candy Bar Challenge.

Jennifer Massey

Jennifer Massey (Born Jennifer Jarratt)[2] was a candidate on the second season of The Apprentice. She was 30 at the time the program aired. She is an attorney from San Francisco, California. She graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University with an undergraduate degree in English. She earned her law degree at Harvard University.

Clifford Chance LLP is the largest law firm in the world, both by number of lawyers and revenue, and a component of the UKs Magic Circle. ...


Performance

In Weeks 12 and 14, Massey got into a verbal fight with Ferreira. While Massey made it to the finals, she was not well liked, and was perceived as being abrasive. Her winning record was not as strong as Perdew's and was perhaps the largest single factor in Trump's decision not to hire her. Additional criticism of her revolved around the fact that Jennifer was often able to hide her personal shortcomings in a task behind the errors of others on her team.

Performance

She was fired for not taking responsibility in the failure of the tasks and placing all the blame on the project manager. Rotner later returned in the final two weeks of the show to work as an employee for Jennifer.

Performance

Russo found himself in hot water during week 9. In the boardroom, he complained that his team's "chemistry was horrible" and that if it was comprised of the same people the following week, they would surely lose. This outburst was seen as disloyal by Carolyn who chastised him by saying she didn't want to hear about his team's futility. "Don't tell us about it. Fix it!" Trump then named Russo Project Manager for the following week. Early in the task for week 10, he threw up his arms and declared it "impossible".

In the boardroom, Trump mentioned how much he liked his accent, saying it made him comfortable and reminded him of his boyhood. Then he fired him.
