"Outwit, Outlast, Outplay, OutKast -- Outsourced?"
Time for a really, really bad concept. Shark-jumping bad. Survivor-Season-7 bad. FOX-bad.

Y'see -- how is this resurrection going to work? It's a little early for 'you need extra bodies to throw at this task', and every remaining contestant has seen the first season. If those rules remained the same, they'd know they could dump any temporary they needed to, and the conversation with Stacie J. would be limited to 'You're looking fired today.' If it's just extra help, firing can't be an option -- and Donald does love firing, so that's mildly unlikely.

So is this the creation of the Outsourced Corporation? Four fired players return to compete as their own minicorp, and should they beat Apex and Mosiac, Donald will fire one person from each of the losing teams and bring one member of Outsourced back into the game? Would that ring a bell with anyone? Does it sound possible? Familiar? Like MB recently graduated to trying back-and-forth jumps?

Yes, it's a dismal thought. Discuss.

(Moved from the Stacie J. thread in General Discussion, because it's really pure speculation and it was going to get lost there anyway.)

It would be one way for DT to inflate "The Apprentice" into a 22-episode season rather than the usual 13-episode season for many reality shows.

And bigger is better, right? DT seems to think so.

22 episodes just don't work for reality shows, especially not with this one since it's obvious who's competent and who's not.

Are we sure they're going to bring back players in the game? I might be missing some info, but I don't remember it being said.

Yes, we saw past players present, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to compete. They may just be "workers" like Nick, Amy, and Katrina were for Bill in F2.

(By the way, I *liked* the Outcast Tribe from S7. Give me three Outcast Tribes before I have to watch this current season)

Let's take a moment to sit back and listen to the sound of no one arguing.

I was guessing a third minicorp just because it seemed like there were too many people left to be bringing in any extra workers, and the PM of the moment might just fire every fireable and then get on with the day. Maybe someone won't come back into the game, but I think the fired contestants will be competing against those still game-active in some way. Maybe if Outsourced wins, both minicorps go to the Boardroom and the resurrectees laugh all the way to Suite #2. Maybe Donald will let the Outsourced decide who goes into the Boardroom with the PM. Maybe Bradford can give someone an exemption. The 'bring 'em back alive' theory is just the one with a little previous MB experience behind it.

(If my earlier post came off as snippy, sorry about that. It seemed that your "jump the shark" comment said that you hated S7.)

Anyway, I hope an Outsourced Corp doesn't happen. With "The Apprentice," people are fired based on personality, overbearingness, and bad leadership skills. Still, there is an extent of luck when picking tasks (and random mishaps), but most of the people already fired would have trouble avoiding another firing.

On Survivor, at least the Outkasts could form alliances and stuff... Maybe The Donald would keep an Outsourced person around, just for the sake of drama?

I don't think that the outcasts are going to make it back into the game. If any of them were any good, Trump would not have fired them to begin with. I can see, however, them competing to get one or more of their enemies fired, but that will be all the influence they have, hopefully. I like the format of the show as is - this is only the second season and I don't want any major tweaks like this!
