Let's talk about THE APPRENTICE and THE APPRENTICE: MARTHA STEWART
Let's talk about the finales for both shows.
Predictions? Comments?
Randall vs. Rebecca
Dawna vs. Bethenny
We haven't gotten the Randall/Rebecca show yet on the West Coast, but my money's on Randy. He's a favorite.
And Dawna is a shoo-in for Martha. Bethenny doesn't seem to have a chance.
What do you think?

I agree that
And is it just me, or does Randall look like a cartoon character or muppet?

Damn - I don't think I've ever posted in the TV forum, but I was compelled to tonight after what happened at the end of the Apprentice finale!
I couldn't believe Randall... I mean, are you serious? One of the most petty things I've ever seen in my life.

I havne't watched all year so i have no idea about these contestants, but i caught the end because the woman is from 'Sota. I can't believe that guy did that.
All he had to do was say the same thing he said, about one apprentice, but then add "But if I were you, i'd hire her right after the show"

Bet Trump puts her on the other project anyway...he liked her and obviously thought she would be good for business. Basically, the show came down to clique's and Randall had more friends.
Frankly, for pure business, I'd hire Alla. I thought she was better than either.

Yahoo probably couldn't get that guy out there fast enough after they saw that boardroom.

Also bet the people working for Randall will have nice water cooler conversations about how big of a prick he was tonight.

This was the first ever finale that I didn't agree with. Rebecca by far outperformed Randall on the task. From a branding aspect, his event was not even in the same league as hers. Her event felt like Yahoo. The drinks, the ice cubes, the bags, the colors . . . everything was perfect. Yahoo told her they didn't want to raise money at the event. They were the corporate sponser, they were the ones paying for the event. Any event manager knows that the number one priority is to make the client happy. She did that, even though the Yahoo execs couldn't stand up for her in the boardroom because it would have made them look bad.
Randal's event was awful. He did not represent the brand at all. Besides an Outback banner, there was nothing about the event that felt like the Outback brand. It could have been put on by The Olive Garden just as easily. I think that Randal's lack of a plan B and his poor brand management simply made Rebecca the clear winner, no matter how much money the auction made. The goal was to put on an event that pleased the sponsers. Rebecca's sponsers wanted a party, that's what she gave them.
Plus, Randal not stepping up and letting Trump hire them both is a dick move. He really showed his lack of loyalty to Rebecca. I doubt he's a member of the Trump organization for very long.
