They should always mark Live shows like this
"The Apprentice Finale.. LIVE*
*live on the east coast only"
that would be truth in advertisement.

Well that is a Mark Burnett move if you've ever seen a Survivor finale.
Congrats to Bill - definitely the most deserving of the bunch.

Kwame's assessment of Omarosa: She's a space cadet.
Congrats Bill, I'm ready to step in to your cigar business.

I knew Kwame was gone when Trump asked him where he would be in comparison to Bill 30 years from now and he said neck and neck.
I also knew he was gone when Trump told him that he was scared for him because of what he had given up.
I'm in Chicago...and they are interviewing Trump and he says he was leaning toward Bill a little bit because he didn't like Kwame's selection of Omarosa.
Bill will be a HUGE celebrity in Chicago...but I would have chosen LA in those 3 minutes.
But now that I've thought about it: Chicago IS the place to be. If he doesn't work out with the Trump, he'll be able to work anywhere he wants here.
Kwame too will get a lot of strong job offers.

I wouldn't be suprised if we see Troy, Sam or some of the other standouts from this season in some kind of roll for the Apprentice Season 2.
Watching Stern right now and he is giving Ereka a lie-detector test about ever refering to a black person as, well you know. She passed. Damn that scandalous Omarosa and Oprah.
Katrina is looking hot...

Ereka passed the lie detector test questions re: Ponderosa and racism with flying colors on Howard Stern (which airs tonight on E!). Funny stuff.

Here are a couple things that bothered me a little and I'm curious for people's input here:
1) Trump's one reason for firing Kwame--he is laid back. He said workers under Kwame might feel uneasy working with a boss like that. Honestly, I think many people would WANT a boss like that. You don't want a boss fretting all the time. And you don't want one jumping down your throat due to mistakes. I liked how, even if the circumstance was dire, he was calm, cool and collected. That's leadership right there, but people seem to overlook that for the flashy "you go here, you do this, and you better have this done!" time of leadership.
If you watch NFL Football, think of it this way. There are different kinds of leaders/coaches. Guys like Tom Coughlin who yell at their players and berate them to increase their level of play. There are other coaches, like the laid back Tony Dungy, who never get flustered or upset. Always calm and relaxed. And he's a wining coach in the league.
2) Also, Trump didn't like Kwame picking Omarosa for his team. This is the thing--Kwame would have had to pick her by default because we know Bill wasn't picking her. Could he have fired her? I suppose so if he knew it was allowed. Then again, you could flip it and say he did a decent enough job with ALL the screw-ups that Omarosa caused him, and the Jessica Simpson show still went off without a hitch. Bill didn't have to deal with those kind of problems.
Kwame just had a lesser cast around him. Sure, he picked them, but in real life, some people around you will not be up to snuff. It's how you deal with it that proves your leadership skills and I thought overall he did well.
I'm not saying Kwame should have won. To be honest, I don't think either of them were THAT great to have made it into the top 2 out of 215,000. But I think Kwame got a raw deal and the "reasons" for not picking him by Trump are flawed.

I also would rather have the Kwame style leader than Bill (at least from what was displayed in the final competition). Kwame was always unflappable, and smoothed over a bunch of problems.
I'm sure Bill will do a great job, though.
