You HAVE to take her! She's been drafted now. We had to take Condi when we drafted Colin Powell, so you have to take Tana!

Wow. Trump really dodged a bullet not hiring Tana, lol. I think he has his hands full with Kelly if the NY Post has the true poop!

"Maybe when/if Dave comes back for Season Three, they can do the race draft skit again and Tana can get drafted as Black!" Classic skit! But what race would want her? Thank you, Luv and Eye, for the transcripts. I was thinking back on others who came in 2nd and because of their graciousness, along with their apparent talent, I have no doubt how many job offers they received afterwards. And then you have Tana who chose to take the Omarosa route?! It just baffles me beyond belief.

Maybe Tana would rather take the "15 minutes" route (like "O") rather than try to further her professional career. She did seem to enjoy doing that task on FUSE network. Maybe we'll see Tana in a future season of Surreal Life too! As someone here already pointed out, I can't see Mary Kay being too happy with her "image" these days...

Do you think Tana could be taking some meds that don't agree with her? It's such a startling change from the Tana we saw in the first weeks of the show. Maybe her nerves were fraying as the competition went on and she started taking something that was supposed to help?

Dalm_Dad - I saw Tana on Fox & Friends yesterday. She obviously thinks "denial" is a river in Egypt. After watching her make the talk show rounds, she's clearly out of touch with why she lost the competition. I'm sure DT is feeling very good about his decision to pick Kendra.

I can't believe how much I misjudged Tana in the beginning and I'm sure that others feel the same. It seemed like she was the one saying all of the right things and now she is saying all of the wrong things. How can that be? And I have to wonder how an interviewer in a normal time frame would pick up on this. They would have to be very very good. Imagine the surprise and embarrassment the QVC pres must be feeling In hindsight its interesting to note that Tana's comment wrt the exemption was indeed a VERY big clue re her lack of judgment.

I agree. I find Tana’s recent actions to be very disappointing. After viewing the later shows in the series, I was favoring Kendra as the choice for winning the Apprentice, but I really thought that Tana was a solid competitor who had demonstrated some wonderfully impressive qualities. And now it seems like she is a different person. Was the editing on the show that favorable for her in the early going?

I was shocked that Trump did not know that Tana was responsible for the round brochure. Seems he is judging the contestants on edited footage.

I don’t have a problem with him judging them based on edited footage, along with George and Carolyn’s observations. It would be unrealistic for him to spend his time watching something like twenty hours of raw footage each week. What is surprising is that the editors or Carolyn or George didn’t mention this, but then again not being aware of this probably had no affect on Trump’s decisions anyway.

I keep thinking about George's comments about how great Tana was. He is so conservative that I would have thought he would catch the "real" Tana. I cannot fathom why she is acting like this now.

I agree Jimmer. Just odd no one alerted him to this important detail. He definately chose a better fit with Kendra. In the future a missed detail that is of this magnitude could very well be the straw the kicks him to one side. Kendra doing nothing to clear that up was not a point in her favor. When Trump asked why she gave the team credit for that brochure she said she believed it was important for Pontiac to view them as a team rather than telling Trump the team did create it together and mention Tana's contribution. Just wanted to say that.

Supergranny, and others: Perhaps George's comments have more merit than we give him credit for and what we saw was not the "real" Tana. It amazes me at how quickly we judge people here. I saw her on Conan and had read the boards before I saw the segment. I do not think Conan seemed uncomfortable with her nor looked as if he wanted her gone. She did not demand total attention to herself; she seemed relaxed and was more than willing to let Conan do his stuff for effect and audience reaction. She did seemed to me as if she doesn't take herself too seriously, she is just a very confident, accomplished person who knows what she wants.

People/Places Donald Trump ends Tana Goertz's quest for Apprenticeship By ERIN CRAWFORD REGISTER STAFF WRITER May 20, 2005 "I just didn't like the way you treated your team," Donald Trump told West Des Moines Mary Kay saleswoman Tana Goertz before hiring Florida real estate entrepreneur Kendra Todd on Thursday's finale of reality contest "The Apprentice." "It was a mistake judging them," admitted Tana, who infamously called her three teammates "stooges" during her final task. "I learn from my mistakes." She was less conciliatory in a post-show interview with Des Moines' WHO-TV in New York City. A combative and agitated Tana said she was naive to believe that a "street smart" person could win. She then said it was never going to happen. "It was all bull . . . ." Tana's language might be considered profanity by FCC standards, which would subject WHO-TV to enforcement action, such as fines, but the interview was broadcast after 10 p.m. Tana didn't receive the show's prize, a $250,000 job "running a company" for Trump, but she did manage to coin a phrase for the several hundred fans cheering her on at Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino. "Don't get me started," she told Trump with only a few minutes left in the show, as she described how she had played a key role in helping Kendra win a task for an auto company. It was enough to get the audience cheering. But the last-ditch pitch, accompanied by pumped fists and Tana's trademark enthusiasm, wasn't enough to overcome her failure at the show's final challenge, where her team misplaced an American flag and ignored New York's governor during an event promoting the state's bid for the 2012 Olympics. Before the 2012 event, Tana was one of the show's strongest leaders, wily enough to use focus groups to win a clothing design challenge and picking an unusual idea to sell an acting consulting service in another challenge. Trump still chose Kendra's college-educated "book smarts" over Tana's "street smarts." Fans of the Midwest mom booed her competition and cheered and hooted each time Tana's name was mentioned during the show's long introduction. No wonder the results made them "disappointed, disappointed, disappointed," according to one table of women who came to cheer for Tana. "We're not watching 'The Apprentice' ever again," said Lori Durrett, 46, of Des Moines. "She should have won it. Tana's more creative." Trump called Tana a "star" up until the final challenge. Some in the audience wondered why all those weeks of work didn't count more. "They concentrated too much on the last (competition)," said Vicki Nauman, 45, of Urbandale. One friend of the contestant's, Jan Castagnoli, who has helped Tana launch her children's book, wept at the results. "I feel bad," Castagnoli said. "I really thought she would win. When she left here, she said, 'I'm going to bring it home.' " But others who came to Prairie Meadows saw the result coming. "She could have won it," said Patty Toal, 49, of Altoona. "You don't bad-mouth people that are working for you. I would have sat down and tried to motivate them." Toal's husband won an "Apprentice" T-shirt at the casino, which gave away prizes. The Iowa audience also was shown live on the show, cheering, and Tana blew kisses at them. Terri Keasey, 31, of Alleman didn't need to win a T-shirt. She came wearing hers, which said, "Up to the suite. Down to the street." Keasey went to New York and bought the shirt at NBC studios and said what she thought about CEOs on "The Apprentice" who had voiced concerns that an Iowa mom might be too nice for the New York business world. "They keep saying, 'When you're from a small state like Iowa, you can't succeed,' but I think anyone can succeed," she said. Had Tana won, she would have taken a job with the Miss Universe pageant. Kendra, instead, chose a development job in Palm Beach. One thing was certain. You didn't want to get anyone in the pro-Tana audience started on the Florida competition. "(Kendra's) a crybaby," said Timothy Jacobs, 31, of Des Moines. "She cries at everything

Palm Beach Post Page Two Jose Lambiet A few area Realtors grimaced Thursday night when Boynton Beach's own Kendra Todd won The Apprentice 3. Why not cheer for the local? Because Apprentice star Donald Trump is putting Todd to work on his latest venture, the renovation and sale of the $41 million beachfront Gosman estate in Palm Beach. Todd, you see, has a real estate license. Therefore, she could conceivably sell the property for Trump and save him some serious lettuce. Trump, Page Two hears, has put out the word he is expecting $125 million for the estate (hey, there are 700 feet of oceanfront and 40-foot ceilings!). Hiring Todd to do the job could save him up to $7.5 million in real estate commissions. And all this for a $250,000-a-year salary. When I told The Donald that picking Todd was the slickest move since the Heat's trade for his bud Shaquille O'Neal, he said he didn't even think about the commissions. Say what? "I want to pay a broker," Trump said. "I haven't decided who my listing agent will be, but I believe that the right broker can bring the right price." What about Kendra? "She'll oversee the renovation, and then she'll be a liaison between me and all the parties involved in the sale," Trump said. You heard the man, Realtors. No more grimacing!

Since the Donald got surprised on the "finale" re Tana being responsible for the shape of the Pontiac pamphlet....do you think whoever (George or Caroline) was responsible for being Donald's eyes and ears on that task...got a talking to for not making him aware of that fact, for letting him be taken by surprise?

I wish I could watch that episode again. But I checked out the Yahoo website and viewed some video to try and refresh my memory. I still think that the Pontiac brochure being round was only one element that made the the brochure great. And the fact that the other team did so poorly, I think Kendra's team probably would have won even if the brochure wasn't round. But perhaps the Pontiac execs may not have gushed as much... Kendra "nailed the emotion" according to the Pontiac execs. It appears that that was her idea - which Craig tried to fight her on. Kendra took the opportunity to conduct an impromptu focus group with nearby pedestrians, quizzing them on their reaction to the car. Also, even though Craig was left in charge of the indoor photography, Kendra spoke to the photographer and left detailed instructions on what she wanted. Then she singlehandedly worked on the brochure and successfully executed the emotion the Pontiac execs were looking for. So it probably wasn't considered that important who came up with the idea of it being round - and probably not worth mention from George or Caroline. The fact that Kendra stayed up all night doing the work all by herself I'm sure was much more important to DT as a potential employee. (that was the "theme" for that episode) But that's just my Now if Kendra's team lost, then I'm sure the round element of the brochure would have been brought up.

I wholeheartedly agree Luvmy. I can't believe the round shape (one element of MANY in the brochure) is being made such a big deal...
