First he made it sound like Tana wasn't apprentice material. Then he fires Alex basically for forgetting his record as PM. Seems hypocritical to me.

I figured Alex was gonna go next. He'd been losing since he moved over to that team...

They had to design & sell t-shirts for hanes 50th anniversary. Craig & Kendra made twice as much $ as Alex and Tana. Craig & Kendra got to have a real dog(air)fight. Kendra shot down Craig

That was quite a good show tonight. I was amazed that Kendra and Craig were able to win it, even with their intense dislike of each other’s style. It really was all about the marketing. Maybe I was the only one that found Tana’s idea of adding studs to a piece of art created by a renowned artist extremely tacky. If I was the artist, I would have been very offended. What is the point of getting a well known artist to do a shirt if you aren't going to market it as art and then even end up modifying the work yourself. Ugh! I understand that Alex’s track record has been poor and Tana’s has been good, but Tana’s performance on this task was awful. Of course, I have no idea what Alex did to contribute at all so I guess that answers it. Trump was also very irritated by Alex’s apparent inability to remember his own track record and I guess that was the final blow.

It sounded like they were going to fire Tana because they perceived her as too nice and incapable of fighting for her spot. When she came back in the room and fought for herself he changed his mind. If she hadn't brought up the difference in their track records she would've probably been gone. Really, if you look at Alex's work in the last many tasks, he hadn't contributed much at all. The last good idea he had was the impromptu focus group during the graffiti task. After that he just kept skating by on his reputation rather than on his actual work. I was amazed that people will pay over $50 for a beaded t-shirt, but I guess I'm out of touch with the city crowd.

It appeared that Kendra and Craig won because Kendra is so good and could have done the task alone just like she did with the car promotion. Surely she wins this year!

Gosh I think Kendra acted like a spoiled brat on this show. I hope she is cut next. All I can see in her dealings with Craig is a little teenaged girl who purposefully rebels against anything her parents tell her. I thought Craig was mature for trying to tackle their relationship, but she just gave him that weird look. I'm crossing my fingers she goes next, and Craig win's this whole thing. I wasn't impressed with Tana tonight either. Oh PS - I DID think Kendra's idea to send emails to the art collectors was the 10 dollar idea of the night.

<nd> I thought Kendra handled herself fine and Craig was a baby! She asked him many times, what were his ideas and he would never answer. Rude and I think he didn't even have ANY ideas. The idea of sending the 3000 emails to the artists' clients was what won it for them. What a DOPE Craig was to cut a deal after the people were ready to pay full price! Was he trying to lose on purpose in order to cut Kendra?

Ugggh... why did the Apprentice have to be on at the same time as Survivor because of the president's press conference. It didn't even occur to me that was happening since CBS picked up at their 8pm time slot afterward. So now I have to see if I can find when it reairs on CNBC. Grrrrrrrrr!

This is the second task that Craig was caught underselling. I personally have a problem with him being there at this stage. Kendra has single-handedly WON two tasks now and Craig is portraying himself as the biggest chauvanist. When he calls Kendra "young lady" in 'that tone' it reminds me of a teacher trying to reprimand a student. I did NOT see Craig giving any REAL input into any decisions...he seemed to give input by taking an Opposite stance INSTEAD of ADDING to an already decided product. This reminds me of a child who refuses to play a game with the other kids because THEY want to be the leader. WHY would DT want a Shoeshine guy RUNNING one of his businesses?? Seems a little unlikely. Alex made a big mistake refusing to take initiative in this task. He really seemed to want to go to the boardroom as he had the false impression he had it in the bag LOL

Interesting how the final three are perceived. Personally, I don't care for Craig OR Kendra. I think the reason they don't get along is because they are so much alike. Kendra has demonstrated a bit more savvy while Craig has come of as sort of a space-case in several instances. I think they booth act like passive-aggressive children, especially towards each other. I've been rooting for Tana, but to be honest, it doesn't really matter to me this year. I don't think any of these three would survive in Trump's organization past the obligatory contract term. I did, however, go to Yahoo! Shopping and order a t-shirt (although I hate that they are coming from Wal-Mart). I ordered the one with the star that Tana and Alex did -- I like that design better.

I find it funny that the shirt designs were so similar. How often does that happen? If I paid all that money for a limited edition tshirt and found out millions are being produced, I'd be irritated. Craig needs to go. He is dead weight. Tana drives me nuts. She knows how to sell but thats about it. Her fascination with the damn bedazzler! Who would think to add glue and studs on a piece of collectible art and do it right in front of the shopper?? Tacky, tacky, tacky!

I agree on the tackiness of the studs or beads or whatever it was she added to those shirts. And Tana's determination to get those beads was amazingly perplexing as well. I just didn't get it. I was also VERY surprised at her lack of attention to marketing. On previous tasks, she has always recognized the importance of it. Perhaps these beads had the Constantine hypnotic stare thing going for them? I think that based on previous boardrooms, Alex was very confident in his ability to survive because Trump liked him. He was the golden child who was "brought down by the losers" and yet when those "losers" were gone and Bren joined him, he still lost and DT still liked him. Add to that the disdainful way DT seems to refer to the street smart people, Alex thought he had it in the bag. I think his "taxicab confession" was a load of bunk. I don't think he was all peaches and cream about being let go. The e-mail to the artist's collectors was genius. I also thought it was a great idea to have a choice between a t-shirt and a hoodie rather than the his & hers thing the other team had going on. Not impressed with Craig. Kendra has good ideas and can carry them out on her own, but her interpersonal skills need serious development. I like Tana, but she was not a stellar performer for this task. Let's see if she learns from her mistakes.

Tana's voice is so annoying!! The way she talks and whines...when she was calling for her beloved bedazzler I couldn't believe how unprofessional she was. She sounded like a child, 'you don't have it? waaaaaaaaaaaaa ps, those rhinestones will fall off after the first washing, all she was using was tacky glue.

I Can't believe Craig has made final 3 - how lame is he? Of course why should I be Jennifer made it to final 2 last year (how did that happen) I agree with Trump in thinking Alex sat back and watched Tana fail so he could beat her in the boardroom instead of stepping up and doing what needed to be done. I hope it's a Tana / Kendra final two with Tana kicking Kendra's whiny butt outta there, but I'd much rather Kendra won over Craig.

I am really liking Kendra now. I don't blame her for being disgusted with Craig, though she could be handling him better imo. Even if he were in the right (which he rarely seems to be if ever), its inappropriate for him to talk to her the way that he does. He must be furiously jealous and upset that this young woman is kicking his azz and will probably get the job. Interesting that they didnt do the interviews with the F4. I suspect DT was afraid of what the outcome might be. Next week its pretty obvious who should be the one to get cut. . With DT's utter ambivalence about whether to let Alex or Tana go, I think he has already revealed to us his final pick. We can safely bet that Kendra will bust her tail to get the job in the finale. I don't understand how the mass internet sale of shirts doesn't make the 'limited editions' sales illegal. Surely George did not overlook this

I totally agree with this statement. Kendra is no better than Craig... just a bit more polished. Maybe she learned that part in college. Out of the three remaining, she probably would make the best apprentice, but that's not saying much. Kendra is a me, me, me type of person. That's why she wanted to be project manager, so things could go her way. Yes, she did the car promotion on her own... she got left just like she left Craig with the Home Depot task. Her email idea was great, but I don't think we really saw enough of what went on last night to determine how much work Craig did or didn't do. The show focused way too much on Tana and her beads. I am glad that Alex got let go, but this final three is the worst of all three seasons.
