James Sun of The Apprentice Loses
You’re fired James Sun, as Donald Trump of the Apprentice Hires Stefani Schaeffer.
Seattle Internet entrepreneur James Sun, who lost in the final round of the reality TV show “The Apprentice” on Sunday night, writes in his blog that he was “confused” and “completely dumbfounded” by the mysterious reasons Donald Trump gave for his firing.
P-I contributor Maureen Moriarty agrees that Sun deserved a better explanation, writing in today’s column that it “isn’t good policy to leave someone wondering why he or she was fired.”
Sun, the odds on favorite to win “The Apprentice,” says he has received over 300 e-mails from people wondering what happened. The 1999 business graduate of the University of Washington comes to the conclusion that he may have been punished for mentioning the name of his Internet startup, Zoodango.com, during the live finale. Sun said it was a subconscious decision to name Zoodango, writing that it is “just part of my every day speech.” He writes:
During the finale, I made a subconscious decision to choose my life today over the life that Trump’s new job could offer. Not that Trump’s deal isn’t great… It’s a phenomenal opportunity to work with Donald Trump making $250K. It just wasn’t for me this time around.
Mentioning his Internet startup on live TV did have an impact. Sun says that traffic spiked by 900 percent on the night of the show, crashing the servers.
