Don't. It was thoroughly disgusting.

Glad to see Bret win. Hard to see how Trump could have gone any other way given everything that happened, but I thought he deserved it anyway. Holly would not have been nearly as entertaining to bring back into new seasons. Now they can use Piers and Bret in the future and hopefully the never, ever funny crypt keeper hag can never be mentioned again.

Apart from the health issues, Bret deserved to win on his own merits -- a point Ivanka made at one point, when somebody said it was head (Holly) vs. heart (Bret) and she basically said "Wait, Bret did a really good job on this, too."

The funniest part of the episode for me was Donald repeatedly saying "Bret made a bad choice because I don't like diet drinks" and everyone else politely telling him he was an idiot.

One thing I noticed that week was that Bret tried to raise money and Sharon basically cut him off, saying "I'm in charge of the fundraising. You work on other things."

I don't know, I think Holly would have won had Brett not had health problems... His spot was better, but I think Holly destroyed him everywhere else... He still would have been the sentimental favorite, but I think Holly is a top pro that the show is supposed to look for....

They liked Brett's presentation and commercial better, liked both recipes and both brochures, and thought Holly's label was better. Both of them nailed it, and there was sufficient evidence to justify either one winning. Brett's health issues probably did put him over the top, but it's not like he's an incompetent boob who didn't do a victory-worthy job on that task. I mean, look at that scene where Trump had the Snapple executives applaud for who they liked better between Holly and Brett -- Brett clearly was the favorite.

LMAO when Trump kept asking for a show of hands to find out who thought that Rod guy was guilty! Props to Michael Johnson for having the balls to be honest. :lol:

I didn't get Holly ragging on Brett for using his name on the product when she had the name of her charity on hers. To take it one step further, her name is part of her charity's name. Hypocritical, much?

God, Joan Rivers looked like she died 6 months ago. WTH happened to her?!

I can't believe Bret has a sweet little daughter, yet acts like a man-whore with other people's daughters on Rock of Love.

With all that being said, I'm glad Bret won. It looked like he did have a very disciplined work ethic. Holly, at times, came across as a b*tch.

so they both ended up getting $250k? so bret winning was just to have the title "celebrity apprentice"?

His negotiation with Curtis on the flavors was the work of an incompetent boob.

When it comes to boobs, I don't think Bret is too picky.

The finale is always cheesy with the live audience. I wish they would just tape it in the original boardroom. The show is 2 hrs every week so it does not make that much of a difference.

What was up with Cyndi Lauper standing on Trumps desk while performing?


They build up to choosing the winner and then the closing credits roll immediately and you don't see the celebration.

Maybe Brett could have brought Rikki Rocket and CC Deville to perform "Unskinny Bop" to close the show.

They threw Holly a bone because it was an unfair situation. She had no chance against Bret and his miraculous comeback.

So has anyone tried the snapples they created? Ive bought both but so far have only tried trop-a-rocka. It's surprisingly better than I expected.

I can't find them anywhere. I've looked at several locations listed on the Snapple web site and I haven't found them, so I no longer care. It's kind of odd that I can't find them because I live in Atlanta.

As for Snapple, I liked their drinks in the early/mid 90's until I realized how watered down they all seem to taste. When I went to a store yesterday to look for the flavors, I saw one that was Peach-Mango or something like that and the label said 10% juice. Their tag is correct I guess, because the best stuff on earth is water... lol

lol I havent seen individual bottles, only the cases. They were B1G1 for $8, so I figured why not. I just tried the CompassionBerry one and its not bad.. I like the trop-a-rocka better. But yea, Ive always known Snapple was more of an ade than an actual juice drink...still good though :shrug:

Here's what the packages look like:

How long has Snapple been a juice drink? I thought back in the early/mid 90's when it got huge (last time I tried one) that it was a flavored tea line. Maybe it was both, I can't remember for sure. Oh, and to be fair, 90% of juice is water too, so that makes it at least 99% water overall. ;)

I didn't know I'd have to buy two separate cases of that mayhem. I pass.

I was thinking this too. It was pretty obviously that Bret was going to win after that comeback.

They've done both juices and teas for at least 20 years. There was a summer in the early 90s when I lived off their pink lemonade.

I'm thinking it's been 'juices' just as long as teas because I've never had their iced tea.

I agree. I was rolling when Holly said "He's been on the cover of People Magazine AND on Oprah!"

I didn't see the part where they actually created the flavors, so I'm wondering how these two who have no apparent background in this type of thing had the ability to create a product acceptable enough to be launched nationwide. Did they receive a ton of help from food scientists and Curtis?

They were given a group of flavors to choose from, but they couldn't overlap flavors, so the teams had to negotiate amongst each other to decide which ones they could use. Bret initially wanted Passion Fruit, but Curtis (as a member of Holly's team), kind of swindled him out of it.

They had flavors like black pepper and basil, too. When they chose flavors, Snapple's food chemist would mix them right there for a taste test.

12 bottles for $8 isn't bad. I buy Snapple once in a while. Their juices are better than their teas. The thing you have to watch for is the sugar content. Most of them are loaded with sugar.

Really curious if the bit of promotion on this show is worth that huge donation from Snapple.
