PREVIOUSLY on Mad Max Makes Clothes... the teams were asked to make clothes that would become “tomorrow’s hottest fashions.” Can’t get any hotter than burned to a crisp (as these clothes hopefully were the next day).
Maria was perfect for the task because she makes tailored suits and majored in Home Ec.
John babysat models with Raj while the other guys did all the work. John learned the hard way that you won’t get very far in life if you keep following the orders of little John. Wait. No. That can’t be right. Little Bill got his man all the way to the White House. Huh.
Who will be fired this week?
CREDITS
I have to just take a moment here to comment about the perfection that is the credits. Have you noticed that even Stacy’s headshot is short? Maybe she should have stood on a box.

NIGHT OF JOHN'S FIRING
Some gorgeous night shots of NYC bring us back to the suite where the men are returning from the boardroom. The women “ooh” when they hear John picked Andy & Kevin to join him in the conversation of doom. Ivana eats chips.
Wes claims that Andy is not a good leader but knows what to do and is creative. I guess if he loses here he has a future as a good sex partner. When Andy and Kevin return safely, Wes interviews that everyone now knows that you can’t just pick on the young kid. That’s true. You have to pick on other people too if you want to take his lunch money.
Ivana announces there’s food and presents a plate of nachos. Everyone reacts as though she’s just produced duck a l’orange or something.
They’ve just sat down to their dinner when the phone rings. Instead of letting the machine get it so he can share quality time with the kids, Wes gets up to answer his first phone call. It’s Robin with orders to get their butts right back in the boardroom.
Andy is shocked and dismayed. He wanted to eat his taco in peace. Why couldn’t Daddy just let the phone ring?
The motley crew moseys on into the boardroom where Donald and gang are waiting. I did a continuity check and yes, the fearsome threesome are still in the same clothes, with Donald wearing a stupid blue striped tie while Caroline is resplendent in her red power suit.
Donald announces that each team has to pick a PM pronto. They talk amongst themselves and choose Wes and Jennifer, respectively.
Because he is a smart guy, Donald just figured out that the teams are even. He talked to his minions and decided it’s time for a tribal mix-up, um, corporate restructuring.
Donald wants to get men and women on the same sides to see how well they work together. He says, “Now we’ll have a real competition.” Of course. {irony}Everyone knows women need men on their teams to give them a fair shake at winning.{/irony}
Wes and Jennifer each have to choose 3 people from their own teams with whom they do NOT wish to work. Those people will become the other side’s baggage.
APEX now consists of:
JENNIFER: IVANA: ELIZABETH: RAJ: CHRIS: KEVIN:
MOSAIC now consists of:
WES: ANDY: KELLY: SANDY: MARIA: STACY:
And just so you all remember who’s in charge:
TRUMP: CAROLINE: GEORGE:
{The preceding images were brought to you in part because of the oher dog show which was coincidentally showing simultaneously on the Animal Channel} Trump tells them they might be happy or they might be ticked off but that’s life, so deal with it.
