The Equestrian Wrestling Federation
Chapter 137: Equestrian Apprentice - Episode 1
Previous Chapter Next Chapter*Money,Money,Money,Moooneeeeeeeey*
-The camera opens with Filthy Rich on a balcony attached to one of the floors of Rich Tower, overlooking the vast expanse of Manhattan-
Filthy Rich: Manhattan, it's the best city in the world. Full of ripe business opportunities, I earned my fortune here after all.
But it takes more than one good businessmen to keep the world spinning around, so I've created this show to find an apprentice.
Fourteen superstars that you will soon meet in the Equestrian Wrestling Federation will be competing on this show to earn money
for a charity of their choosing and for the right to be the first ever Equestrian Apprentice. They've already proven that they got
the strength, but do they have the brains? They're used to an environment of constant conflict, but now they must learn to work
together, at-least somewhat. So let's waste no more time and meet our contestants.
-The scene changes to the large courtyard outside the entrance of Rich Tower, the 14 contestants are standing together divided
between men and women, meanwhile two other people stand at Filthy Rich's side-
Filthy Rich: Good morning.
Contestants (All): Good morning.
Filthy Rich: I hope you're all ready to make a lot of money. Each of you have been selected for a shot at becoming the first ever
Equestrian Apprentice, but to do so you'll have to survive a series of tough challenges that will test your mental skills.
Every week the two teams, currently divided between men and women, will face off. The winner gets money for a charity of their
choice, meanwhile I will fire someone from the losing team. Maybe two if I'm in a bad mood. You'll have to select team names and
a project manager for your first challenge, but that can wait. Next to me are my advisers for this week, my lovely daughter
Diamond Tiara, and executive assistant Star Swirlinaitis. They'll explain your first challenge.
Star Swirlinitis: We're starting you all with something simple, you're going to run a restaurant for one day.
We have a number of choices that you can choose from, you'll take over management of the business you choose for a day and your
goal is to make more money than the restaurant the other team chooses to run.
Diamond Tiara: You'll be judged on two things. How much money you make, duh. Secondly, you'll be judged on customer happiness.
Every customer will be given the chance to fill out a survey card on how your restaurant was, if too many give you a
horrible review you might just lose the challenge.
Filthy Rich: Alright, you have your assignment. Now it's time to pick your project managers.
-The two teams huddle up for a moment and discuss their decision, before turning back to face Filthy Rich-
Filthy Rich: Men, who's your project manager?
Bill Nyeker: I will be accepting leadership of this task Mr. Rich.
Filthy Rich: Very good. Women?
Twilight Sparkle: I'll be project manager for my team.
Filthy Rich: Alright, you have your teams and your managers. You'll be shown to your meeting rooms in Rich Tower,
there you'll pick out your team names and select what restaurant you want to manage. Whichever team picks faster will get their
choice in the event both teams go for the same one. After you plan everything out be ready to head to your restaurant first thing
in the morning to get things ready. Snap to it.
*Men's Conference Room*
Bill Nyeker: Alright my new students, we need to pick out a team name. I suggest something intelligent sounding, perhaps
Team Nucleus or maybe Team Sublimation.
Rumble: Oh that would be great, if we want to bore the other team into submission. We need something that sounds cool, hip, stylish.
Flash Sentry: I agree, we need something more fun.
Shining Armor: What about the BroMans?
Rumble: Ehhhh…..
Zack Ryder: I got it! Team Broski.
Shining Armor: That works too I guess.
Flash Sentry: I think it's great.
-The rest of the team nods in agreement except for Bill Nyeker-
Bill Nyeker: It seems a bit sophomoric, maybe something more mature.
Zack Ryder: Come on man, it's great. The whole team will love ya for going with it.
Bill Nebeker: *Sigh* Very well….Team Broski it is.
*Interview Recording: Bill Nyeker
Job Prior to EWF: Science Professor
Bill: I wasn't very satisfied with the name Team Broski, and was rather disappointed that my brilliant ideas for a team name were
ignored. However, I conceded to avoid wasting precious time on pointless conflict. I can tell I have my work ahead of me turning
this rambunctious group into an effective outfit.
*End of Interview*
*Women's Conference Room*
Twilight Sparkle: Alright girls, team name. Let's hear some ideas!
Rainbow Dash: I've got a simple one: Team Awesome.
Trixie: Is that really the best you can come up with? Nobody will take "Team Awesome" seriously.
Rainbow Dash: I'd like to see you give something better.
Trixie: Team Trixie.
-Rainbow Dash facepalms-
Twilight: No offense Trixie, but I don't think that's going to work.
Trixie: Why not?
Rarity: Because dahling, you aren't the only one on this team, and you aren't the permanent leader.
Trixie: Maybe Trixie should be.
Sunset Shimmer: It's too bad Mr. Rich probably wouldn't accept Team Bitch. Maybe team Vindictive or Alpha, something that tells
the guys how strong we are.
Trixie: Trixie is strong, so Team Trixie it is.
-The whole team goes into an unintelligible squabble about the name-
Fluttershy: Umm….everyone….I have an idea….
-More arguing-
Fluttershy: Uhh...excuse me...if you could all stop arguing for a second….
-More arguing-
Fluttershy: -Deep intake of breath as if about to yell- Hey….
Rarity: QUIET! Fluttershy has something to say dahlings….
Fluttershy: Oh I don't mean to interrupt, but thank you Rarity..now I know you all have really great ideas and..
Sunset Shimmer: Spit it out already!
Fluttershy: MEEP. Well uh...ok, maybe we should be something simple like….team yay?
Octavia: "Team yay"?
Rarity: I think it sounds like a great idea dahling.
Twilight: I think so too, what does everyone say?
*Various levels of agreement*
Twilight: Great, let's move on to business then.
*Interview Recording: Twilight Sparkle
Job Prior to EWF: Librarian
Twilight: The start was a lot smoother than I thought it would be. I think we have a great team here and I'm honored to be our
first project manager. I can already tell my group has great things ahead of it.
*Team Broski*
Bill Nyeker: Now, on to the next stage. We need to select a respectable establishment to manage tomorrow.
Hoity Toity: I say we go with the five star restaurant, I could easily have friends of mine bring in very large donations for that.
Zack Ryder: Nuh-uh man, Pizza is the way to go. Everyone loves pizza, EVERYONE. That's where the real money is.
Shining Armor: I say we go for that burger joint.
Bill Nyeker: I agree with Hoity. Five-star is the best option for raising large amounts of money.
*Interview Recording: Hoity Toity
Job Prior to EWF: Fashion Designer
Hoity: I encourage the five-star restaurant not only because I'm an expert on all things high-class, it's also where I can use my
extensive resources. But of course I'm going to save the biggest donors for when I am the project manager...
*Team Yay*
Twilight Sparkle: Next order of business, we got to pick a restaurant.
Octavia: I think we should go with the five-star one, it'll be best for attracting big donors.
Rainbow Dash: We could go for the pizza, everyone likes pizza.
Trixie: Trixie will make any restaurant glorious.
Twilight Sparkle: We'll go with the pizza. I like that idea best.
*Interveiw Recording: Rainbow Dash
Job Prior to EWF: Soccer Player
Rainbow Dash: I'm glad Twilight went with my idea. I think it's obviously the best one. I mean, sure the fancy restaurant will bring
in a few big donors. But pizza is something that can bring in everyone, I bet we'll have four times as many customers as the guys
will.
*Day of Fundraiser*
*Team Broski*
-The men's team stroll up to a five-star restaurant deep in the heart of downtown, Bill Nyeker unlocks the front door before calling
everyone together for a quick conference-
Nyeker: Alright, here's your I will be moving around the restaurant as needed,
supervising all operations. Ryder, you'll be the greeter. Your job will be to meet customers as they come in, make
them feel welcome, and escort them to a table where the waiters will handle things. Think you're up for it?
Ryder: Bro, I live and breath PR. No sweat at all.
Nyeker: Hoity, you'll work the cash register and keep a detailed log of the donations that each team member brings in. -Hoity nods-
Flash and Rumble, you're going to be waiters.
Rumble: -Looks up from his phone for the first time since arrival- Whoa there, slow down. A waiter? That's not exactly my style...
Nyeker: Do you have any other skills that would benefit the team in this setting?
Rumble: Well..yeah, I...umm...
Nyeker: Than a waiter you shall be.
*Interview Recording: Rumble
Job Prior to EWF: Model
Rumble: I wasn't very happy being assigned as a waiter. All my life I've been used to people waiting on me. I think there's definitely
better ways Nyeker could of used me. But, I'm sure I'll still be a better waiter than most. There's very little I can't do after all.
*End Interview*
Nyeker: And that leaves Shining and Ace as our cooks. You two better get back there and get some dishes prepared. Stations people!
-Team Broski breaks off to prepare for their different jobs-
*Team Yay*
-The women walk up to the hottest pizza joint in this part of the city-
Twilight: Alright. Here we are. We don't have much time to waste, so here's what we're going to do. I'll work the cash register, and
keep track of all the finances. Trixie, you're going to be our advertiser. All you have to do is stand outside and get people's
attention.
Trixie: Ha! Trixie will have the whole city eating at our shop.
Twilight: Hopefully. Octavia and Rarity, you two will be our waitresses. While that will leave Fluttershy,Dash, and Sunset free to
make as many pizzas as possible. Let's get at it!
*Interview Recording: Twilight Sparkle
Job Prior to EWF: Librarian
Twilight: I'm really confident about today. I've got a great team and I think I picked the perfect people for every position. Now
we just have to hope the donations come through as we need them to.
*Team Broski*
-The restaurant officially opens for business and soon people are lining up and entering the door-
Nyeker: Alright, here we go people! I expect A+ performances from everyone!
-Ryder moves to greet the first group of guests-
Ryder: Hello and welcome to Team Broski's Grand Buffet! I am your greeter Zack Ryder, how many you got with you?
Customer: Four.
Ryder: Righteous. Table for four! Follow me. -Ryder escorts the family to a table-
A waiter should be with you shortly. Now you have a chill time and don't hesitate to call.
-Meanwhile back in the kitchen Shining is hard at work making all kinds of dishes, while Ace isn't having much look-
Ace: OW! MOTHER*BLEEP*! -He drops a pan he was working on- OH *BLEEP* *BLEEP*. Now I have to clean this *BLEEP* up! -Ace goes off
to find cleaning equipment, meanwhile Shining just rolls his eyes and shakes his head-
-Flash drops a plate back off in the kitchen-
Flash: One of the customers sent this back, said it wasn't right. It certainly doesn't look good but I thought maybe that was how
it was supposed to look...
Shining: Uhh...*He takes a taste before gagging* Ugh, did that idiot Ace even read the recipe?! Give me a few minutes and I'll fix
it.
*Interview Recording: Shining Armor
Job Prior to EWF: Military
Shining: I know teachers are supposed to be smart, but putting Ace in the kitchen was not a bright move on Nyeker's part. That guy
can't cook for *BLEEP*. He screwed up almost every order and slowed us down more than anything, if we lose this challenge I know
who I want to see fired first.
*Team Yay*
-Team Yay is hard at work, Octavia and Rarity are bringing pizzas out left and right while Twilight tries to keep up at the register-
Twilight: We've got our first big donation! One-thousand dollars! -Team Yay cheers-
-Meanwhile in the kitchen-
Rainbow Dash: Here's another one! -She goes to hand a pizza over to Rarity but Sunset intercepts it and does a quick inspection*
Sunset: Still too cold, we need to put it back in the oven for a few minutes. -She shoves the pizza back into the oven-
You're getting sloppy Dash, remember that the whole team is depending on us back here.
-Dash grumbles and continues with pizza making-
*Interview Recording: Rainbow Dash
Job Prior to EWF: Soccer Player
Dash: It didn't take me long to figure out I was in for a LONG ride working with Sunset. She nitpicked every little thing and EVERYTHING
had to be exactly her way. Nothing that Fluttershy or I did was good enough for her. God help us if she's ever project manager...
*End Interview*
-Meanwhile back up front Rarity approaches the cash register with along with another woman-
Rarity: Twilight, big news! My friend Suri Poloman is giving us a two-thousand donation!
Twilight: Why thank you Miss Poloman. That's very generous.
Suri: It's the least I could do for Rarity, I still owe her...
Rarity: Nonsense. Now let me have the girls in back make you an exquisite pizza!
-Out front Trixie is doing her best to gather even more customers for her team-
Trixie: COME ONE AND COME ALL! TO THE MOST DELICIOUS AND ENTICING PIZZA PLACE IN MANEHATTEN! -Trixie spots somebody about to head for
Team Broski's restaurant down the street- WHOA, HOLD RIGHT THERE! YOU DON'T WANT THAT SECOND RATE FOOD FROM BROSKI BUFFET DO YOU? NO,
OF COURSE YOU DON'T! YOU WANT TERRIFIC PIZZA, JUST STEP IN THERE!
-Inside at the counter Twilight lets out a deep breath-
Rarity: Something the matter dahling?
Twilight: I'm just wondering if I might have to reel in Trixie a tad bit...
Rarity: Well I certainly wish you luck with that task.
*Team Broski*
Ace: Ugh, another order sent back?! WHY ARE THOSE *BLEEP* *BLEEP* SO *BLEEP* PICKY?! Gaaaaah!
Shining Armor: Yo, Ace..
Ace: WHAT THE *BLEEP* YOU WANT SHINING?!
Shining: We totally need more customers dude, and I think you're the perfect guy for that. Why don't you go outside and start
convincing people that our place is the one to go too? You've got the voice and the enthusiasm for it!
Ace: That's a *BLEEP* great idea! Just watch me reel the *BLEEP* in!
-Ace exits the kitchen while Shining both chuckles and lets out a sigh of relief-
-A very extravagant looking woman approaches the register-
Hoity Toity: Ah, Photo Finish! Excellent, I'm glad you made it! Has Ryder not seated you yet?
Photo Finish: Oh, he has, but first I just wanted to give you this. A slight amount of pocket change, but it should be more than most
of your team is bringing in.
Hoity Toity: Five-thousand dollars? That definitely trumps the other donations so far. Well done!
*Interview Recording: Hoity Toity
Job Prior to EWF: Fashion Designer
Hoity: I knew I could count on my contacts for a few donations. Small from my perspective but certainly grandiose compared to the pety
resources of my team-members. I think my spot on this show is quite secured.
*End Interview*
-Bill Nyeker comes across Rumble, who is leaning against a wall on his cell phone-
Nyeker: Rumble! Put that phone away at once.
Rumble: What for? I don't even have any orders right now...
Nyeker: I do not care. You need to be alert and attentive. Now return to your duties.
Rumble: Ugh,fine.
-Rumble picks up a freshly made plate and sets off for the proper table-
-Outside the restaurant Ace is shouting at every poor bystander who crosses by him-
Ace: HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! IN THE LAME-*BLEEP* SHIRT! LOOK AT ME! *BLEEP* LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU! COME EAT THIS *BLEEP* GREAT *BLEEP*
FOOD! DO IT RIGHT *BLEEP* NOW. COME ON DON'T BE A *BLEEP*.
-Inside-
Nyeker: What in the blazes is he doing?! He's supposed to be working the kitchen not giving heart attacks to our potential clients!
-Neyker rushes outside to confront Ace-
Nyeker: Ace, what are you doing? This is not your assignment, get back inside at once!
Ace: I'm trying to attract customers!
Nyeker: Well you're doing it wrong, get back in there and help Shining.
*Interview Recording: Bill Nyeker
Job Prior to EWF: Teacher
Nyeker: Absolutely unbelievable. I can't believe that Ace went outside of his own accord and started screaming at passers by. It was
un-professional, barbaric, and uncalled for. It might of even costed us the win, I will see him fired if it does.
*End Interview*
*Team Yay*
-Back in the kitchen Fluttershy accidentally bumps into Sunset, causing her to drop a freshly made pizza all over the floor-
Fluttershy: EEP. I'm s-so sor-
Sunset: Look what you did you klutz! You need to watch where you're going, clean this mess up.
Fluttershy: Ok, I-ll...just let me...
Sunset: Stop bumbling around and do it already!
Flutershy: EEP...
-Rainbow Dash walks over and glares down Sunset-
Dash: Why don't you just leave her alone and clean it yourself if you're going to be like that?
Sunset: Fine, I will. You're both useless anyways.
-Dash pats Fluttershy on the shoulder before returning to work-
*Interview Recording: Sunset Shimmer
Job Prior to EWF: Stunt Woman
Sunset: I think any other two people from the team would of been better to work with than Dash and Fluttershy. Neither of them are
very competent and they can't keep pace with me. I'm here to win, and I'm not going to play nice. If they aren't ready to go fast
and furious they better just walk away before they have to go head-to-head with me in the boardroom.
*End Interview*
-In the front of the restaurant Octavia is escorting a very highly dressed gentlemen-
Octavia: Thank you so much for coming Blueblood. I'm sure your contribution will guarantee our victory.
Blueblood: Well I am a generous soul, and you've been a good friend. However, you could of picked a location with a bit more class.
Octavia: Sadly it wasn't my decision, but I'm making the best out of it. -They approach the register- Twilight, this is Prince Blueblood.
He's arrived specifically for this event.
Blueblood: Here is my donation. -He hands a check to Twilight-
Twilight: Ten thousand dollars?! I don't know what to say...We'll have a pizza prepared right away.
Blueblood: No need. I was simply here to deliver a donation is all.
*End of Fundraiser*
*Boardroom*
-Filthy Rich, Diamond Tiara, and Star Swirlinaitis are already seated as the two teams enter and take their chairs on opposite
sides of the room-
Filthy Rich: Welcome to the boardroom. First I'd just like to congratulate both teams on a job well done yesterday. A lot of money
was raised and I couldn't be happier with an early result. I'm sure you're all eager to know who won, but first a few questions.
Twilight, how do you think your team did?
Twilight: I think we did great. It all went smooth from what I could see.
: Do you think your team won?
Twilight: Most definitely.
: And why is that?
Twilight: We had a lot of big donations, and we had a lot of customers. I don't think there was a peaceful moment anywhere from opening
to closing time. And most important, we worked as a team, and I think we put out some high quality effort.
: That's a fair answer. Who was your weakest link?
Twilight: I don't think it's fair to say anyone on the team was a weak link, we all did our best.
: But surely there's someone who didn't meet exceptions.
Twilight: If there was it's hard to tell.
: That may work for now, but if you lost somebody's going to have to take the fall.
Twilight: Here's hoping we won then.
: Sunset, did your team have any weak links?
Sunset: Yes. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
Rainbow Dash: What?!
Mr. Rich: Why do you say them?
Sunset: Neither of them were very competent cooks for one, and both of them were making a lot of slip-ups that slowed us down.
Rainbow Dash: The only thing slowing us down was you. You had to make an issue out of every little thing.
Sunset: It's nothing personal, but you have to admit things would of been faster had you two listened to me more.
Rainbow Dash: No, I don't actually.
Mr. Rich: Rainbow Dash, did you and Sunset have some issues during the fundraiser?
Rainbow Dash: Yes we did.
: Why was that?
Rainbow Dash: Sunset is a control freak, she wouldn't let us do anything unless it was her way. And she was constantly interfering
whenever she thought we were doing something wrong, and she'd jump down your throat for the slightest mistake.
Sunset: A good teammate looks for mistakes so they don't happen anymore.
Mr. Rich: Fluttershy, you're awfully quiet, what do you think about all this?
Fluttershy: Um...well...I...think I did my best.
Mr. Rich: Do you think Sunset has been unreasonable?
Fluttershy: Well, I..don't know if I would say that...
Mr. Rich: She's saying you were one of your team's weak links. If that's not true you should speak up.
Fluttershy: Like Sunset said...it's nothing personal...I'd rather not start an argument...
:Hmmmm...I'll drop this subject for now. Bill, how do you think your team did?
Nyeker: Well, with a few exceptions, I was satisfied with overall performance, and I think we did just fine.
: Do you think your team did better than the women's team?
Nyeker: Well I can't say for certain, but I'd wager that we did better.
: Why?
Nyeker: We had some extremely high dollar donations, and our customer service was top-notch. We would of been able to add a star on
to that restaurant if it were possible.
: Well you certainly sound confident, were their any weak links on your team?
Nyeker: There were only two people on my team that I had any issues with.
: And that would be?
Nyeker: Well the first one is somewhat minor: Rumble. I caught him multiple times slacking off in his duty and doing lord knows
what on that phone of his.
Rumble: that is not true. I was never slacking off, I did my job when I was needed. Bill just doesn't understand what a
break is.
Mr. Rich: Sometimes in business there's no time for breaks, but I get your meaning. Who else, Bill?
Nyeker: Ace. He did well in the first part, but there was a very big incident where he slipped outside and start screaming at
people on the street. Often scaring away more potential clients than he drew in.
Mr. Rich: Ace, is that true?
Ace: Absolutely not. I did nothing but draw people in. I doubt any more than a couple were actually offended, and I was doing a
great job advertising for us until Bill pulled me inside because he didn't like my style.
Nyeker: Total nonsense. We were running a five-star restaurant not a rock concert, screaming at random people does not entice them
to enter a eating establishment.
Mr. Rich: Well, let's see if it affected things. Diamond, how did the men's team do?
Diamond Tiara: The survey's for the men's team restaurant were mostly positive, with one glaring exception. Apparently some of them
found Ace's...advertising, a bit too aggressive. He was mentioned directly in several reviews but most of your customers were
happy with their service once they actually entered the restaurant.
Mr. Rich: And how much money did they raise?
Diamond Tiara: In total Team Broski raised 57,322 dollars.
Mr. Rich: That's pretty impressive I'll say, but is it enough? Swirlinaitis, how did the women do?
Swirlinaitus: Customer surveys for the women's team were excellent, the only complaints I could find were mostly minor. Some thought
Trixie's advertising was just a tad forceful, and a couple cases of orders coming out as less than par, but all together you did
a superior job.
Mr. Rich: And how much did the women raise?
Swirlinaitus: Team Yay raised a total of...60,100 dollars.
Mr. Rich: Congratulations Team Yay, you won.
-The women all jump up and start celebrating, meanwhile the men hang their heads in defeat-
Mr. Rich: Twilight, what's your charity?
Twilight: My charity is the I Have a Dream Foundation, they provide college scholarships to graduating students from all walks of life.
Mr. Rich: I think that's great. College education is important, I certainly wouldn't be where I am without a degree. I think your charity will definitely appreciate the sixty grand.
Twilight: Thank you Mr. Rich.
Mr Rich: Ladies, you can go back to your suite and watch the rest on TV. Men, stay here, unfortunately somebody will be fired.
-The women file out, leaving only the defeated men's team-
Mr. Rich: Bill, why do you think your team lost?
Nyeker: Well, I think Ace's antics definitely did a lot of damage, but that surely couldn't of been all.
Mr. Rich: How much money did Ace raise?
Nyeker: I don't know sir.
Mr. Rich: Was somebody on your team keeping track of donations?
Nyeker: Hoity was.
Mr. Rich: Hoity, how much money did Ace bring in?
Hoity: Only about five-hundred dollars sir.
Mr. Rich: Was that the lowest on the team?
Hoity: Yes it was.
Mr. Rich: Ace, what happened?
Ace: I'm not sure. I tried calling him some people but most of my contacts were busy. I guess it just wasn't my day.
Mr. Rich: Hoity, who raised the most money on your team?
Hoity: I did.
Mr. Rich: You did? How much?
Hoity: Around twenty-thousand.
Mr. Rich: That's a whole third of your team's income. Very impressive. Who raised the second most?
Hoity: Rumble did.
Mr. Rich: Alright, Bill, I want you to pick two people to come back into the boardroom with you, and I'll pick one of you three to
fire.
Nyeker: I'll bring back Ace and Rumble.
Mr. Rich: Alright, the rest of you are free to return to the suite. Bill, Rumble, and Ace, wait in the lobby.
-The men file out-
Mr. Rich: What do you two think?
Swirlinaitis: It was an interesting move bringing Rumble back, especially since he made a lot of money for the team.
Diamond: I think the only choice is Ace. He hurt his team and did little to help it.
Mr. Rich: It's a shame though, Ace seems like a really fun guy. Maybe he'll find a way to change my mind. -Mr. Rich pushes the intercom-
Send them in.
-Nyeker, Rumble, and Ace re-enter the room and sit back down-
Mr. Rich: Bill, who should I fire?
Nyeker: Ace. He offended our customers and did little to bring in money. If anything he costed us money.
Mr. Rich: Why shouldn't I fire you? You were the project manager after all.
Nyeker: That's true, but I did a great job on everything I did and nothing that went wrong was my fault.
Mr. Rich: Diamond, how did Bill do on fundraising?
Diamond: He raised the third to last.
Mr. Rich: That's not very good for the project manager Bill.
Nyeker: Yes well, I still was the organizer. I was the one who kept things moving smoothly, and I think it more than makes up for
any lapse in fundraising.
Swrilinaitis: It was a little surprising to see you bring Rumble back, Bill. After all, he raised the second to most on your whole
team.
Nyeker: I brought Rumble back because while he did well on the money raising aspect, he was a bit of a let down on the customer
service part of the challenge.
: So should I fire Rumble?
Nyeker: Possibly, but I believe Rumble's lack of impact was still better for the team than Ace's negative impact.
Mr. Rich: Rumble, who do you think I should fire?
Rumble: I hate to agree with Bill, but I have to say Ace.
Mr. Rich: Why Ace? Bill just threw you under the bus, why not him?
Rumble: Bill and I might not be getting along so far, but he did half-way do his job as project manager. Ace...well...not much help there.
Mr. Rich: Ace, why shouldn't I fire you?
Ace: I have enthusiasm, I have many talents that just haven't gotten the chance to be used yet. And I'm downright determined. I am the most determined person on this show and if you give me another chance I'll see to it we don't lose again next week.
Mr. Rich: Those are some pretty big promises, you might come to regret them if I decide not to fire you. So, if not you, then who should be fired?
Ace: Bill.
Mr. Rich: Why Bill?
Ace: He didn't help with any part of the challenge. All he did was walk around like an overseer.
Nyeker: It's called supervising. It's what a leader is supposed to do.
Ace: But other than that you didn't do anything. You did no real work, we did all of it.
Mr. Rich: Ace, I can see your point. But a few facts remain that you raised the least amount of money, and customer reviews named you specifically as the bad apple. I'm sorry, but Ace, you're fired.
-Ace lets out a deep breath and walks out the door, with Nyeker and Rumble following awkwardly behind-
Diamond: I think you made the right decision.
Mr. Rich: He may of indeed had hidden potential, but too much of the failure was his fault. There wasn't anyway for me to fire someone else.
Swirlinaitis: I think the men's team might function a lot more cohesively now.
Mr. Rich: Only time will tell.
-Rumble and Nyeker are greeted by the rest of Team Broski as they return to the suite-
*Interview Recording:Shining Armor

Shining: I'm pretty glad that we got that idiot out of the way. Ace would of just dragged us down in future challenges. Now that he's gone we'll have a more realistic chance of actually winning next week.

Job Prior to EWF: Singer
Ryder: I was kinda sad to find out that Ace got canned. He seemed like a really fun and up-beat guy. The first challenge just wasn't for him and he paid for it I guess.
*End Interview*
-The camera switches to Ace entering a taxi and riding away from Rich Tower-
Ace: I think made a huge mistake by firing me. One challenge doesn't prove or disprove your worth, and I think down the line there will be challenges where the guys will need someone like me: only I won't be there. Tune in to the Tonight Show on Sunday and I'll give you all the dirty *BLEEP* on that *BLEEP Nyeker and the other *BLEEP*.
