I would also think that Trump wouldn't like the fact that Tana had kids...and that she left them, to apply for this job. Poor kids. Well, for them, it was probably a vacation:-)

Phew, glad that's over.

I like the abridged Season Finale.

Boooo, I bet all my points on Tana, purely as a gamble against all the other players. LOL.

Gosh, Tana really showed the ugly side to her personality the past few weeks. Yuck. I guess that where these two women differ. Kendra shines at crunch time, and Tana looks ugly.

I'm glad Kendra won, only because Alex couldn't.


Boo Tana on an embarrassing performance.

Kendra did admit that Tana designed the shape of the brochure and DT didn't know that. I do remember that Craig had a lot to do with the photos.

This was a bad season. None of them were very appealing to me and DT didn't like the casting so he had a hands on approach for next season's casting. We will see if he's any better at it.

You can have a cool shape and a really bad brochure. It is the whole thing put together that makes it good or bad. I think it was lame of Tana to try to make it seem like the brochure was so successful cuz of her shape. (let's not forget she slept for at least 6 hours while Kendra worked her ass off on that brochure.)

I agree. Tana was so bad in the last couple of tasks that she made it almost impossible for Trump to hire her even if he wanted to. Tana ignored the Governor and his aide; she didn’t have an American flag for him to carry and didn’t seem to care; she didn’t proof read the brochure; she treated her team horribly; she badmouthed her team (and therefore Trump) to the client and she acted unprofessionally both at the task and again on tonight's show. Her over the top comments regarding the shape of the brochure were very sour grapes.

Kendra’s clients loved her; her team thought she was a great leader and she appeared to put on a flawless show.

It wasn’t even close.

If DT didn't know about the design then what are we to know about what we are shown?

I agree that Kendra was a shoo in several weeks ago. Tana fell apart like a slow moving train wreak.

So what was Trump's beef about Kendra crying? Was he talking about last week's episode, where she got emotional when describing her team, and didn't he say there was nothing wrong with crying?

I haven't been able to watch tonight's yet. So maybe I missed something in reading tonight's spoilers.

Ya, who, I don't get it. It's like that was the only thing he could say negative about her?

I was never very impressed with Bill and certainly not impressed with Kelly, but Kendra--she did impress me. It took about 10 or 12 weeks for it to happen though!!

Poor Tana really looked like an idiot, high-fiving herself, jumping up and down in her seat, and pointing her finger at Trump.

I thought the jobs for the two women weren't anything as major as the jobs Kelly and Bill got.

She really did look like an idiot! (Sorry to say that cuz I really really liked Tana a lot until about 3 weeks ago). But she did look so bad getting all gung ho on the shape of the brochure. It was like she finally thought of something she did well and she was gonna ride it for all it was worth!

Tana: "I did the shape The shape rocked! The shape won it! I rock!!! Hi-5 to myself!!"

Condescending is right, Ladytex.

The show was just awful. They took so much time with the recaps, Trump showing off all his projects, and commercials, that it was a real snooze-fest until Tana lost it.

The set was ridiculous also. Trump, playing Judge Judy with not one, but two American flags, was ludicrous. Too bad the audience didn't boo him.

He gives the apprentices all those tasks to thrown together in no time, but he can't even find someone to put on a good finale.

Condescending is right.

I'm sorry but Tana's behavior was deplorable tonight. If he had seriously contemplated hiring her, the way she behaved tonight with her self-congratulatory gestures should have cured Old Don of any inkling he had of hiring her. And really....if you're 28 credits away from graduating college, how have you not done it all these years? I don't really think it's THAT important, but come on...don't fence sit and tell me you really *are* book smart but you haven't taken seven classes.

Kendra is, to me, less qualified than some runner-ups have been (i.e., Kwame), but she does know how to rally people. Of course I'm not in the business world, so I can pretend that's important.

This finale showed me one thing I knew already: Apprentice should NOT have live finales. Trump is not good with them because he seems awkward; Regis was bad at it last year because he seemed scattered (I think he was up past his bed time). I think the show should be taped and edited down so it's smoother, like it usually is. But most of all, get rid of the gimmicks like men vs. women and street smarts vs. book smarts and just make it challenging.

I'm mostly thankful I'm 3000 miles away from The Apprentice: The Musical. Otherwise the gravitational pull might have taken me to the theatre to see the worst thing to happen on Broadway since Carrie: The Musical. "Pigs Blood!" indeed.

Tana acted like a very, very desparate job candidate who was fighting for the position. It wasn't pretty. I think she knew going in (after obviously seeing the tape of last week's show) that she didn't have much of a chance being hired. The comments then just drove the point home more and more. She was like a wild animal backed into a corner by the zoo keeper.

I had to wonder if there had been two guys vying for the position if the choices would have been 'renovate my newest mansion' and 'deal with Miss Universe.' Seemed like those were a far cry from the positions Bill and Kelly were offered. However, from what I've read, the REAL jobs Bill and Kelly do are a far cry from what they were billed to be on the show (or even from how they were described tonight). "Celebrity figurehead and cheerleader for Donald Trump and The Apprentice TV show" seems to be the more accurate description of what they do. Still, not a bad gig for the bucks.

I think it is interesting that D.T. told Kendra that tears in the boardroom were inappropriate, but when Chris cryed like a baby when he got the boot, D.T. comforted him! It has been awful to watch Tana fall apart over the past few weeks~she showed great promise from the get-go. But, Kendra has been consistant throughout her interview. She deserved to win!

1,000,000 applicants and no one who looks like George made it on the show. Good thing DT has already hired George--he's too old to be on the show even though Trump thinks he is a great employer.

Maybe if the didn't worry so much about looks, they'd get better choices for DT to pick his apprentice.

Max, I totally agree about the positions offered. Those were lame jobs, especially the mansion renovation.

I guess I just see things so differently. I never was impressed with Kendra except in that she does come up with good ideas. She always came across to me as somewhat immature in past performances when dealing with conflict. She did well with the Magna team behind her in the last task, but prior to that she had been unable to motivate people to follow her or even respect her at times. I couldn't get past that "I respect your honesty and I'm also offended by it" moment. It seems odd that she'd get this job based on one or two weeks of work after 12 weeks of lackluster performances.

I still believe Trump was willing to do anything to keep from hiring an "uneducated" candidate. The business about the flag having been accounted for and then suddenly disappearing sounded suspicious to me, and I was unimpressed by Chris backing Kendra when he admitted he basically has his own money invested in her. When Kristin tried to speak well of Tana, Trump cut her off.

I must've been the only person that was glad Tana got Kendra to admit she wasn't singlehandedly responsible for the success of that brochure. It made me want to gag when Kendra and Trump talked of how she had shared credit with the other two when we had all seen her do the exact opposite in her confessionals, and even cut Tana off at the presentation lest she should get any credit for her involvement. Yes, there's usually more to a brochure than the shape, but in this case Trump admitted that it was the shape that Pontiac said they were impressed by. As Tana celebrated that vindication after having been booed by the skeptical crowd, she may have looked silly to some but I heard Trump say "She's getting aggressive!" which is something he usually values.

All DT worries about for this show is making something that people watch. If he had a bunch of George look-alikes, the demographic of the viewership would be a lot different, the numbers would be down, the sponsors would back out, and the show would be over. Leaving DT without the media attention he craves.

Really this isn't about hiring an executive for the Trump organization, it's about making an entertaining TV show. Oh, and about Donald getting his ego stroked and stoking the press machine so he can stay in the public eye. :-)

As for the comments on Kendras tears while Chris's were never mentioned, that doesn't surprise me. There's a huge double-standard in corporate America about what is acceptable behavior for a man versus a woman.

Also, I think really they were grasping at straws to find something negative to say about Kendra's performance in the final task so they could keep some kind of illusion going about who was going to be the winner. Really the only thing they could have picked on was when she didn't know the execs were there for the first meeting and left them alone with that singing guy (can't remember his name) for too long. That was the only real mistake we saw her make and she VERY quickly recovered from it. So DT decided to hone in on the tears instead. Again, makes for good TV, I guess.
