Y'know, I think Donald might go with Jen (if they both do ok on their tasks) over Kelly just for the shock value. I still have a hard time believing that the winners have any real say over the projects they are in charge of anyway.

As far as the interview process, I felt it was the reason for his dismissal that was a problem. After performing better than 2 of the other candidates, he was dismissed due to "too much education and no real direction." The show billed itself as an extended job interview. But, much like real life, the better candidate was weeded out in the face to face interview and a weaker candidate moved on.

He pulled her aside and tried to help her get on track but realized when to cut his losses and let it go. This is what I'd look for in a leader. Willingness to do what's right, ability to motivate and get people focused on a task, patience to talk/work through the issues, and the ability to recognize when enough is enough. In other episodes, he displayed a professional teammate demeanor, and managed the tasks competently when it was his turn.

In regards to qualified candidates, Kevin was no way better than Kelly. Trump didn't fire the girls first because they made for good TV.
The problem with Kevin was that when you leave school, you're not just gotta all of a sudden get a CEO position (unless you startup your business). Having an MBA would get him some type of associate position at an Investment Bank or something. If he worked a few years, then went on the apprentice, he would've had a mucher better shot.
This is the same reason that there was no way that Andy was gonna win. He needs to work for a few years first.

Not a fan of this series or Donald Trump. I hope after it's done he fades into obscurity.
-What I wanted to write when this series debuted but didn't because I didn't watch it. Because I didn't like Trump and thought the idea of a bunch of people trying to kiss his butt for their own gain was preposterous.

Apparently, he’s also venting in the Sebastian Stan thread for the movie the apprentice people kiss rich people’s ass all the time there is nothing new about that.
Go vent in the politics threads instead of dancing around in these.

Does NBC still own the rights to the Apprentice?
If they wanted to bring it back what better time than now?
Give Tiffany Trump the hosting job.

Amazon will stream seasons 1-7
A season released every week as the anticipation builds.
Maybe this is paving the way for bringing this show back.

A season released every week as the anticipation builds.
Maybe this is paving the way for bringing this show back.
Amazon announced on Monday that it will begin streaming President Trump’s reality TV show “The Apprentice.”
In a release, Prime Video said seasons one through seven of Trump’s Emmy Award-nominated series “The Apprentice” will be available to stream.
The show’s seasons will roll out weekly, with season one available to view on Monday, March 10.
“The series quickly became the number one show on television after its January 2004 premiere, with an average of 20 million viewers tuning in each week and 28 million watching the Season One finale,” the company said in its release.
Producer Mark Burnett, who also produced “The Voice,” “Survivor,” and “Shark Tank,” highlighted Trump’s reality TV shows as one of the best he’s ever produced.
“The charismatic onscreen presence of President Donald J. Trump made it a bona fide hit!” he said in a statement. “Now, thanks to Prime Video, a whole new audience will experience a new season every Monday.”
Trump said in a statement that he looks forward to rewatching the show because he had “such great memories” and fun, “but most importantly, it was a learning experience for all of us!”

It is rare to see full seasons of reality shows on streaming or anywhere.
I don't think you can watch all the Survivor seasons on Paramount + or the entire Voice library on Peacock.

Well I guess that answers the question of whether or not Burnett would ever willfully release the supposed outtakes.
