The Apprentice
Sun was one of the four finalists going into the finale of season 6 of The Apprentice, Donald Trump's business reality show. He and partner Stefani Schaeffer survived the first elimination, but Trump ultimately chose Stefani as his next apprentice. Trump said to James: "James, you're terrific in every respect. You're creative; I love creative people. But there were certain things and certain dialog that you gave during the course - and you know what I'm talking about - that bothered me very much. You're an outstanding guy. I really think you're going to be a big success, but for now, James, you're fired." On his blog following the firing, Sun stated that he was "dumbfounded" and still confused as to what exactly the "things" Trump mentioned were, although he speculated that it might have had something to do with his ad-libbed offhand plug for his internet company during the finale.
