A Philadelphia attorney learned it is unwise to crack wise with The Donald.
Erin Elmore,26,last night became the 10th contestant to be fired on the current edition of “The Apprentice ” on NBC.
Her fate was sealed in the boardroom when she made a wisecrack just after Donald Trump announced he felt obligated to follow the advice of his top aides, George Ross and Carolyn Kepcher.
They wanted him to spare the other potential firee in the room,Angie McKnight,41,of Miami, who was last night ‘s project manager for the losing Net Worth team.
“Do you have to [follow their advice ]?” asked Elmore,who then winked flirtatiously at Trump.
The remark caused Trump to abruptly turn his attention to Elmore,telling her,”You ‘re a real wiseguy,you know that?”
And then,Kepcher added angrily,”That was a dumb statement.”
“Erin,you ‘re fired,” Trump said.
If not for Elmore ‘s slip of the tongue,Trump would probably have fired 22-year-old realtor Chris Shelton of Richfield,Utah, whose tobacco-chewing habit disgusts Trump.
In fact,Trump stated flat out last night that Shelton has no chance of winning “The Apprentice ” unless he kicks the tobacco habit.
On the show,the two teams – Magna and Net Worth – were challenged to create a one-hour course for do-it-yourselfers shopping at Home Depot.
The challenge scenes were filmed at the Home Depot in College Point, Queens.
