Reba123 42 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 11-21-04, 12:50 PM (EST) "Levi's presentations" I think these apprentices have really lost their steam. They are all capable of much better presentations than those they displayed for the Levi's task. Kevin was trying to be a peppy preppy upbeat American kid type and it didn't suit him. When he speaks seriously he comes off much better. Plus the sweating, but maybe he can't help that. Pulling out the handkerchief was not smooth. Ivana was charming when she presented, but her resentment of Jen M. looked bad. It was probably emphasized by dramatic editing -- e.g. reaction shots etc. But she was wrong to interrupt. When asked "how did you come up with this?" Jen's answer was actulally what he was looking for, and Ivana looked petty for interrupting. Kelly did nothing that we saw on camera. Jen stays cool under pressure and this that Mr. Levi's responded to when asked who did the best -- what else did he have to go on other than their presentations? Andy held a sign. He was right about changing clothes for the presentation but that's surely been discussed elsewhere. Wes looked really awkward. I agree with Trump that reading (or referencing) his points off the laptop was inappropriate for this type of presentation. Sandy -- Nothing memorable comes to mind w/r/t her presentation. Maria -- There's just too much to say. Her presentation was worse than bad. Look at her body language! Hovering over the table like a vulture with her face in their faces and her arms pointing over the table at them. She seemed aggressive and not confident about her product. Talking frenetically, too fast to be really understood. Her response to the butt shots question was not smart -- she said they had wanted the butt shots but couldn't get them right, thus admitting that they did not execute their full intended product, and then she insulted the fit of the jeans!! This bunch has never really gelled. Last season it was fun to watch their teamwork; this season everyone seems catty and low-energy, and now they are starting to unravel. I keep waiting for them to hit their stride but now I think things can only degenerate for them.   Top

"RE: Levi's presentations" LAST EDITED ON 11-22-04 AT 06:25 PM (EST) LAST EDITED ON 11-22-04 AT 06:24 PM (EST) Fortunately, the Levis people apparently didn't agree with you about the worthiness of the task. The Apex /Levis catalog is in print and it's available at J.C.Pennys. I think it is humorous that Ivana's "wheel" was not chosen to be in it- after all the fuss she and Kevin made about her "ownership" of it! Jen is in three of the pictures. Kevin and Kelly are in two, and Ivana appears in only one. More fodder for Ivana's unrelenting jealousy!   Top

"RE: Levi's presentations" are they the same pictures on levis website? http://www.us.levi.com/fal04a/levi/main.jsp personally, i never like the wheel idea, it sounds so much like a 1st year design student's idea... LOL at "if being sexy is wrong, i don't want to be right", it is so Maria   Top

Remember Ivana's wheel was inside the pocket.   Top

I wasn't intending to make any judgement on the worthiness of the task -- I like the ways the companies use the apprentice projects later, for reaching new customers or whatever other purpose. I've even bought the apprentice gelato flavors! I was really just trying to comment on their presentation skills, which weren't the best of any of their capabilities this time round. I was speculating its because they are tired or just have negative energy circulating around. I think this was true around this time last season as well. I remember the casino challenge found them all seeming very high strung, and even nasty. ETA: "Better to be hip than nothing at all" -- ugh!!!   Top

The one thing I noticed with respect to Maria was how 'in your face' she was with the Levi's execs. They almost seemed to be backing away from her as she leaned into them, and in one instance she actually did a 3/4 twist and sat on the table as she was talking. It was way too much. Between Wes reading his presentation from his laptop, and Maria almost trying to get into the Levi's president's lap, Apex's presentation seemed so much better, even with Kevin's excessive sweating.   Top
