 The day of challenge, Protégé got up early and claimed an indoor booth when they saw it was going to rain. They had decided on an Asian theme and were selling rice-paper umbrellas and other Asian inspired items. Versacorp's previous confidence was dampened by their outdoor, rain-soaked location. Bill suggested a blow-out sale due to the low traffic in the outdoor areas. As the day wore on, however, things inside slowed down for Protégé.  Heidi was aggravated by Kristi's lack of strong decision making, and felt the team should move outside if the weather cleared up. She and Omarosa made a plea to Kristi to move the booth outside in the hopes of increasing interest and sales. Elsewhere outside, Nick continued to consult with Katrina and the other women. He said it was because they had won four challenges, so why not get their feedback?  As the sun peaked out through the Manhattan skyline, the after-church crowd descended on the flea market. Versacorp ended on a high note when they sold everything down to the tablecloth! Back at the suite, Protégé regrouped to tally the receipts. Omarosa was in charge of her team's finances and realized that they were missing over a $100. Kristi felt that Omarosa was setting her up for failure.
 The next day in the boardroom, Carolyn and Bernie presented Donald with the flea market results. Carolyn started by saying that she initially thought Nick's team was going downhill because they only bought small and medium sized t-shirts. However, she admitted that they were able to pull it off and the team finished with a profit of over $600. Bernie then reported that Kristi's team tried to divide and conquer, which ultimately failed.  They came in with a net loss of $75.78. Nick was finally on a winning team! As a reward, his group would pay a visit to Yankee's owner George Steinbrenner at Yankee Stadium. Over the course of 30 years, Steinbrenner has led the Yankees to 6 world championships, so Donald thought it fit that the winning team meet a true winner. Later, Kristi got very emotional and upset with herself for the team's loss.
