A Sorro loser (updated)

What a suck.

Michelle Sorro, a real estate consultant and candidate on Season 6 of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice reality TV show, resigned Sunday night in week three.

I wouldn’t normally rant about who got fired and who didn’t, but for Sorro I’ll make a special exception.

For those who haven’t been following the show, it tracks a group of uber-successful Americans (including publicists, attorneys, sales managers, etc.) as they compete through business projects in an attempt to be crowned tycoon Trump’s new apprentice.

Sunday night’s project challenged members of Team Arrow – which has been thus far romped by Team Kinetic – to break into two groups of four and put together an original tour that winds its way through Hollywood. The people who rode their double-decker buses and experienced the trip rated them.

Sorro, a case study in inept decision-making, was the losing project manager. And deservedly so; she did a remarkably terrible job and was about to get dressed down – and most likely fired – in Trump’s dreaded boardroom.

Instead of facing the consequences of screwing up a project, however, she resigned after she found out her team had lost the challenge.

She’ll now go down in the reality TV Hall of Shame as only the second contestant to resign from the show.

Sorro said she couldn’t handle living in the tent outside of the mansion, where the losing team (have nots) are banished, while the winning team (haves) languish in the posh Los
Angeles home. She added she wasn’t prepared for the pressure and couldn’t handle living in the tent.

Oh, boohoo princess.

It’s too stressful to live in a tent in 72 Degrees Fahrenheit weather on top of a hill outside of a mansion in L.A.??

Come on.

Poor excuse. Poor loser.

This is the first season of Trump’s show that I’ve watched regularly. During the first episode, before the contestants were introduced, I thought to myself, “Hey, I could do this. I’m creative. I could have fun living in a mansion in L.A. It would sure be a fun and challenging way to push myself to the next level.”

My jaw dropped once they started describing these competitors, for example Angela Ruggiero, a gold-medal winning Olympian; James Sun, an Internet company owner who turned $5,000 into $2 million by 23 years old or Martin Clarke, and attorney and professor.

Then I started watching how they cracked under pressure, yelled at each other, made terrible split-decisions and resigned because living in a tent is too hard. And I thought to myself, “Maybe I should have applied to be on the show.”

Sure I haven’t made $30 million in real estate over the past three months. But I can assure Trump I wouldn’t be a prissy loser.
