TheApprentice 4/28

OK.

T-shirt design contest for Hanes, and again, Networth (Tana/Alex) loses to Magna (Craig/Kendra).

I'm so glad that Trump got rid of that dead-weight (Alex) and kept Tana.


** Next week: It's interview time! **


If Amy and Nick from Season 1 can't razzle-dazzle Trump's right-hand men, that means Craig doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.

It's looking like an all female finale with I HOPE Tana getting it all, but Trump doesn't seem like he thinks that she can run one of his companies, based on his comments in tonight's boardroom. I hope she nails the final task, and he changes his mind.

I'm pulling for Tana too. My wife was going to boycott the show if Trump fired her tonight.

Kendra doesn't seem all grown up yet.

Alex has deserved to be fired for a few weeks in a row, but not tonight. Tana was incredibly hyperfocused on a small detail and deserves the loss. In the end, she didn't even get the bedazzler.... but they spent a lot of time on that, which was a dumb decision.

Up until this episode, I was more behind Tana, but what I saw was someone that missed the big picture because she clung to a detail she could not let go. That is very bad business. You make those kind of mistakes on her Mary Kay business, or her eBay business... maybe not a big deal. "Damn... I forgot to get more Priority Mail boxes!".... but not in running a larger corporation.

I really don't see any real quality left in the three remaining apprentices (and I felt that way about the four remaining ones at the start of tonight's episode).

I missed this episode cuz of the stupid Bush statement. It pushed Survivor back an hour so I ended up watching that instead of The Apprentice. I'll just catch one of the replays on CNBC.

I've been saying it for a few weeks now, but I think that Kendra is going to win. I really do. Craig is too much of a space cadet, and Tana is just too bubbly and I think that she might be hard to take serious. Trump acknowledged this last night when he asked Carolyn if she thought that Tana would fit into the organization.

Agreed. I think Kendra is smart and has good ideas....but she is immature and it shows when she starts that pouty look.

I would love for Tana to win.

The real loser will be Trump for having to pick from these final 3 candidates.

I agree. I think Trump should just fire them all.

i think trump fired alex just so he could fire tana and the other white chick in the next round. I think the black guy will win.

My husband cracked me up-- when she was so obsessed with getting the Bedazzler, he said "A Bedazzler? Why doesn't she go out and get a Flow-Bee too while she is at it?" Then my husband also mentioned a Turby-Twist and pointed that you don't seem to see those ads much since 9/11.

I do think she must have been watching too many late-night commercials or something. I guess Manhattan does not have an "As Seen on TV" store.

The Bedazzler shit made no sense to me either- the store in Staten Island didn't even have the thing. They had Bedazzler beads only, and Tana knew that. If she had spent 20 minutes walking around midtown Manhattan, she could have found an arts and crafts store with beads and glue.

i want to know who bought those t-shirts for $55 a piece. these things were made in china by some kid chained to a desk making 40 cents an hour for 16 hour days. And people actually paid all that money for it?

You live in NYC. I'm shocked that you find the profligate surprising.

i hardly think the ones sold on the show were made overnight in china and shipped via super-jet to the store the day after they were designed

it was a overnight manhattan sweatshop

Ok, I don't want Tana to win...mainly cause she has implants. I hate that.

As for Craig, I find him to be 100% unlikable. I've seem plenty of people get in fights and have arguments but I still find reasons to like them. He just seems like a complete jerk or at least he comes off that way via editing.
Having said that, I wasn't sure why Kendra smiled and put her arm on him in the boardroom.

Regarding Kendra, I think she could possibly win. She came up with some good wins as a PM and she doesn't go run off and cry when Craig says his stupid crap. She stands up to him.

Anyway, that's my take on it.

They were not paying for the shirt so much as the artwork on the shirt.

They should fire all 3 and hire the annoying guy with the guitar.

Tana showed her lack of education in the board room. She was owned for a moment and then came back swinging.

Kendra had two big wins in a row by herself for the most part. Gotta give it to her I think. I also thing Craig and Tana's lack of education will show in the interviews.

I'm wearing $300 Mephistos now but at least those are made better than the average shoe. The people that bought these things at Scoop bought cheapo t-shirts that were printed with some design that will probably wash off very quickly.
