1-13 Recap	Here Comes the Dawna The Finale - One hour cut down from two, and the episode STILL slouched toward cancellation at a Xanaxed snail's pace. Dawna wins, Bethenny loses. Whatever. At least it's over.	2005.12.21 2005.12.28	C-	Keckler

1-10 Recap	Paging Bobbie Spencer A Ridiculous Display - The teams are tasked to come up with a showroom display for Buick's new "luxury" car that, strangely enough, also manages to bear the same name as Safeway's generic dairy label. Ah, Lucerne Cottage Cheese and canned peaches -- a great way to add that touch of class to your breakfast table and your next road trip.	2005.11.30 2005.12.04	B-	Keckler
1-9 Recap	Coffee Is For Closers The Coffee Achievers - Tasked with selling space-age coffee machines, Primarius chooses to outsource things to a PR firm, while Matchstick opts to utterly bail on PM Marcela. When the former approach bests the latter, Ryan takes offense to charges of disloyalty, but it's Amanda's hatred of perfection that gets her bounced.	2005.11.16 2005.11.20	C	Joe R
1-8 Recap	Up Your Nose with a Retractable Hose Don't Touch That Dial - The teams have to sell outdoor products on QVC. Matchstick weathers Amanda's me-first antics and sells lots of hose retractors. Primarius trusts its on-air presentation to Jim, who isn't the horror show you'd expect, but they lose anyway. And Howie's profound not caring gets him shown the door.	2005.11.09 2005.11.14	C+	Joe R
1-7 Recap	Buzz Kill Swimming Against The Tide - Martha really wows us with her double-fire of the Buzzkill Spinsters, Sarah and Carrie! If only Trump hadn't done that last year, or fired a whole team last week, maybe this actually would have been interesting.	2005.11.02 2005.11.07	N/A	Keckler
1-6 Recap	Who Let The Jim Out? Every Dog Has His Day - In the course of this task, Hateful Jim reaches new heights of rubber-faced insanity, but still manages to drag a kicking and screaming Primarius to victory, while Marcela and her damp Matches are left without a fire under their asses. David gets the Nicest! Letter! Ever! from Martha and is left whistling, "The chances, my friend, are blowing in the win, the chances...are blowing...in the win."	2005.10.26 2005.10.31	B	Keckler
1-5 Recap	It's Quite Easy Being Green Mixed Greens - Martha shakes it up, and Jennifer is the one who falls out.	2005.10.19 2005.10.24	B-	Keckler
