The Apprentice 12/09 - THE FINAL FOUR

Question of the day:

Which of the final four chokes in their day of grueling interviews?

My pick: Jennifer.

Two people are getting eliminated. I think that going will be Sandy and Jennifer, but it doesn't add up with spoilers that I posted here a number of weeks ago. But having Kelly and Kevin in the finals would be very similar to Bill and Kwame from last year (two men, black/white, similar backgrounds, etc).

As long as lazy eyes is one of the 2 that gets booted, I pretty much don't care who'll be on next week.

Is business really all about being the one that yells the loudest and the most? That is what it seems Trump looks for in his employees.

The spoilers were correct - Jen and Kelly are the final two, despite Trump swearing that they were not.

What were the final tasks? I missed it.

I will enjoy having another week to look at Jen but it should have been Kevin instead of her. Sure Kelly is the best person for the job so in the end it doesn't really matter.

I think the only reason Trump kept Jen is to avoid another male-male final. It was so obvious he was setting up another catfight by firing Kevin first. Jen is so robotic. I wonder if she has many friends. I feel a little bad for Kevin because I thought he deserved it over Jen. All the "intellectual horsepower" in the world will never make Jen a good leader.

You're 100% correct. You hit the nail on the head.

Even more funny because of all her controversy with her.

With Pam? What controversy?

Also, I got a magazine a month ago and they were talking about the Apprentic women. It stated Pam was 32...does anyone else find that hard to believe?

The spoilers were true.

I was sad to see Kevin go first but it's true, why is he going to so much school? I can understand if he's in med school, but all that schooling is unnecessary, esp. since he doesn't even want to go into law.

Jen & Sandy's catfight was irritating. Personally, I can't stand Jen. She's a very conniving person and like others have pointed out, she doesn't like being a leader. Her only task as PM was that stupid and pointless Dog washing competition. You can see in the final challenge that she was a terrible leader (the Genworth ppl said that she was an idiot and she was a moron for not heading the NBA part of the planning).

Kelly is so far & away the favorite, it's like the NFC vs. the AFC in the Super Bowl all those years. If Kelly doesn't win, I'll be shocked.

Also, I'm glad that Elizabeth is back

Pacman, Pamela definitely looks like she's in her 40s. But then again, she probably aged quickly with all those 100+ hour workweeks as an I-Banker.

Kelly is obviously the better of the two....I just hope Raj and the other guy with their shitty attitudes don't screw it up. It seems to me that Elizabeth is the only one on the team who doesn't have anything against Kelly.

Kelly

Jen may be a strong attorney but she is a horrible leader.

If Kelly doesn't win it would be a travesty. He was the strongest most consistent player from the beginning.

How can going to Princeton undergrad, Harvard Law, and accepting a lucrative offer in a San Fran law firm be considered risky decisions? I have a different term for those decisions, Jen. I call them 'no-brainers.'

Jen is basically this year's Kwame, except much nicer to look at.

I'd substitute Kevin for Kelly in this statement, but I'll watch the final show anyway. It's not choosing the best person for the job, it's entertainment.

I wonder what Bill's part will be in this year's finale?

Anyone catch Kevin start ta "bead up" when he realized he was on the hot seat? He's gotta find a way to control the sweats under pressure!

I love how the camera just panned to each person during the Jen-Sandy fight showing their deadpan looks except for Kelly who seemed to be staring off into space.

I think that Kelly has got this hands down. I would be shocked if he did not win.

I'd say it would take a monumental screw-up for that to happen. But then, we've seen stranger things this season.

I agree with all the other posters. Kelly looks like a shoe in.

If Kelly doesn't win, it would have to be because of picked a couple guys who seem to not really care about helping him. At least the other fired people last year made an attempt to help the winning candidate. These people are just bitter jerks, it seems.

I'm sure Trump's decision is already made.

The "wrenches" in the final challenge seem made up.
Chris Weber cancelling at the last moment (to see how Jen reacts).
Trump ordering all that rain the day before the polo match (well...okay...but they probably watched the weather forecasts and set it up to fall on a day where it would rain the day before...maybe). Last year, Jessica Simpson was "lost".

It's all about editing and good television and suspense.

Anyway...I'm rooting for Kelly.

Of course. I'm sure Trump/Burnett throws curveballs in to see how the final-2 deal with crisis management.

Same thing with the missing sponsor billboard at the Country Club last season.

and that Kwame was likeable whereas Jenn isn't (she's just a Biatch)

I think choosing Kevin would have made the decision between the final two more of a nail-biter. Jen has flown under the radar this entire season. I still can't get over the fact that she couldn't understand the wheel catalog concept during the Levi challenge.

I don't think Trump wanted the same Bill-Kwame demographic for the final two. Between the Kelly and Kevin, I still think Kelly was stronger.
