The Apprentice Asia

Episode Overview

It's fishy business in this first episode of The Apprentice Asia! In order to put contestants’ sales skills to the test, teams were sent to a wet market to sell fish. The goal? Simple. To make a profit. Contestants were divided by gender. The men named their team "The Mavericks", and the women chose the name "Apex". Too much testosterone, too little strategy Chaos ruled the men's team. All the guys tried to take charge - leaving project manager Hendy standing by looking dazed and confused. After much talking over one another, they decided to scout out market prices first before starting sales. But that didn’t stop self-proclaimed "sales ninja" Hanzo from pulling in customers even before prices were set. Other teammates followed suit and started selling fish too - at massive losses. Frenchman Alex even pretended to be a French chef in order to attract customers - a move that Tony later denounced as unethical.
