The Apprentice Three Hour Finale 12/16/04
 

Half over and no thread on this yet? Wow!

I am shocked that Webber didn't show up. I am convinced that most of these roadblocks were artificially created by producers.

there is only one reason why the 76 year old man wants to hire a young blonde

You can actually see Jennifer slumping down in her chair more and more as everyone speaks. I think that she is going to cry.

Trump's COO is an idiot. He couldn't think of a thing to say.

That was one of the most uncomfortable moments in t.v history.

rotfl at the COO. That was sad. :(

GO KELLY!

This is unreal. It's a bloodbath. Go Kelly Go!

Did the COO say he was attracted to Jennifer?? I missed what he said...

so this "interview the audience" portion wasn't decided before hand.. it was just a idea of trump's? :)

Donald Trump has succeeded in creating one of the strangest, stupidest finales of any reality show I've seen.

I feel like turning off my television and taking a shower.

Everything is decided beforehand on this show...

3 hours is too fucking long for ANY show. This is just as bad as when American Idol became popular and ran itself into the ground with massive 2.5 hour shows. When will network executives learn the law of diminishing returns?

i know i was kidding... could they drag this out anymore? however, brain stew i think it does work.. we are watching all this crap

i actuall felt kind of sorry for jen just as i laughed at how many people liked kelly

Whaaaaaaaaaat? So am I the only one who has enjoyed this whole show? I'm really liking it.

I take issue with that. It seems like that's the way that people on Wall St. and Madison Ave. do marketing and production of a product. Sure, we're watching, but we're not enjoying...

It's all about the bottom line :(.

are we agreeing or disagreeing?? advertising is based on driving a message into your head.. doesn't really matter if you like it or not.. so from that standpoint they are succeeding

Worst. Finale. Ever.

Enough already. I am becoming tempted to change the channel before the decision, I am that bored watching Trump poll a bunch of people I couldn't care less about.

Oh great...now yet another recap of the entire show. Sheesh.

Sorry. I am agreeing with you that they advertised a product well.

But I don't like the product. I am just disappointed that this show is sort of being "mass" produced. I know it's a reality show, but I can remember being really impressed last season. This season, it just feels like it's all about selling soap.

They totally killed the momentum the whole show was building. They just wasted 30 minutes of my time and right now I really don't care who wins when 30 minutes ago I was on the edge of my seat.

then we totally agree.. the product is weaker than last year, but we (the public) eat it up

I'm here on the west Coast, what time should I start watching?

Finally, someone called him on the military BS! He was getting a "by" from everyone on it.

Based on the interviews, I would go with Jennifer. She was spades ahead of Kelly in that portion.

I knew it would be...

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah!

:lol:

did you see her smile.

kind of quickie fake out at the end

got it.

Damn it. Unhappy with the choice. Oh well. Evil people are more fun, not the punks.

EXACTLY!

Well said. Except it was more like 45 minutes.

West Coasters:

Don't bother until 10 pm pacific.

I'd be excited if Regis hadn't bored my ass to death. This is like when they had Rosie O'Donnell do the Survivor finale.

I think the one chosen, sucks.

Good choice, but it should have happened nearly an hour sooner. I nearly dozed off a few times.

The first season final boardroom was miles and miles ahead of this one...one of the few times I was genuinely surprised at the final moment (when Trump said "you're hired" instead of "fired" and the walls flew away).

Wow... talk about dragging it out. It just get worse and worse.

Plus they used the SNL set. And if you know anything about that set, you'll know it's really small. Using the Lincoln Center is a continuation of the trend this year, that bigger is better.

Ya gotta go with the New york one. The Las Vegas one is lame.

Ny! Ny!

Agreed. Go with NY!

both choices kind of sucked (the contestants).. but at least they have the o'jays.. ugh

Gotta go with the 6-year, many times larger job vs. the shorter, smaller one.

I think Trump made a mistake with his choice.
