[edit] Life during The Apprentice

Brent caused much controversy during his time on The Apprentice. He was assigned to Synergy the first week and had a lot of problems working with his team mates. Donald Trump didn't like many of the ideas he came up with and thought of him as "a joke." Another candidate, Stacy, claimed to be afraid of him and Trump found this idea so laughable he fired her. Also that week, Pepi was fired for his inability to control Brent.

Brent was finally fired in week 4. There were many reasons for the firing. First, the fact that he was hard to get along with made it impossible for him to be effective in real world tasks. Also, Trump was somewhat critical of Brent's weight. The task that week was to create an advertisement for Post's Grape-Nuts cereal. Brent argued that he should have been allowed to make the presentation but Trump felt strongly that he shouldn't have been the one to make the presentation for such a health conscious product.

Brent was brought back with the rest of the candidates so that the two finalists, Lee and Sean, could pick their teams for the final task. Brent was not chosen to be on either team.
