Apprentice L.A. -- Episode 4

"Two chickens!" That was the only argument Marisa offered in her defense in the Apprentice boardroom. No wonder she was fired.

After Surya joined the woefully undermanned Team Arrow, Trump gave the teams the task of designing a new dish for the fast food chain, El Pollo Loco.

In keeping with the "crazy chicken" theme of the restaurant, Marisa wanted to promote Team Kinetic's pineapple and mango chicken bowl -- the "Paradise Pollo Bowl" -- by strategically positioning two people in chicken costumes on street corners. Her Kinetic teammates politely rejected the idea.

When her first idea didn't fly, Marisa suggested...two guys in chicken costumes, again. And again, the idea was rejected. It wasn't accepted after the third and fourth times she mentioned it, either.

Kinetic ended up losing the challenge because they relied on single sales from their restaurant, while Arrow managed a bulk sale of their own tortilla and chicken concoctions to the employees at a nearby car dealership.

But you can guess why Marisa thought her team lost.

In the boardroom, she kept interrupting everyone, including Trump, crying, "Two chickens! Two chickens!" Eventually her teammates just laughed at her, and even Trump's patience ran out.

Trump fired Marisa, but his customary, "That decision was very hard," statement rang more hollow than usual.

The Apprentice is off next week because the Chicago Bears will be busy winning Super Bowl XLI. In two weeks, the candidates try their hand at bee farming.
