Thanks for the Link,Cdbga. Love Papajohn's main headline: WHY EAT A PIZZA MADE BY APPRENTICE'S WHEN YOU CAN CALL THE PRO'S AT PAPA J0HN'S!

I think when the Donald throws out a suggestion like meatball pizza, the teams were smart to listen. He wanted a meatball pizza, lol. I still do not like Angie and would hate to have a boss like her.

I agree with Fruitbat and Julieboo. Tana really knows how to sell. I dont know if she would be a great manager but she has proven over and over that she is a great salesperson. I would not be surprised if she was in the final 2.

Yeah, Tana is a great salesperson....for herself. She is over-rated. Dalm.

I agree that Tana is the most promising of the group. It urks me that Bren won that exemption when it seemed like Tana was the one taking charge. Bren should've been gone long ago, and it's only a matter of time before he comes up with disastrous idea #3. Craig's behavior is weird. Alex doesn't come across as strong enough. Chris has gotten on Trump's bad side. That leaves Tana, Angie, and the blonde girl whose name I always forget. Trump has a grudge against Angie, and the blonde girl doesn't leave a strong impression. That leaves Tana, who keeps getting compliments. Then again, those end interviews for the final 4 make a big difference. In the end Trump may still decide to choose education over ability.

I agree with Julieboo. Alex and Tana. Alex is the clear winner. That's who Trump picks every time. Clones. Educated white guys with short hair. I don't see Tana as a leader. As someone above said she is a self promoter. What's to be impressed about her "golly gee" style? I think Bren could sneak in because of the goofy bow tie. Why pumpkin seed country bumpkin Chris hasn't been fired by now is clearly because of ratings. Everyone knows he's the hick who chews tobacco in the boardroom (and swallows) and threatens to beat people up. How is it that he's never hear of "the patch?"

I don' think we can necessarily point to a pattern of who Trump picks after just two seasons. Both times, he picked the most qualified person, imo. I think Kwame and Bill were equally good, with Bill doing better at the end. I thought Kelly was much better than the number 2 person last year. If the best person for the job just happens to be white with short hair then I hope they get hired. I will stop watching when I feel there is a conscious effort to choose different people versus the most qualified.

I agree this will come down to Alex & Tana. I had thought this before, but Thursday's episode sealed it for me. What changed was my opinion that Tana will take this thing. Who knew that Alex had been a 'star' all this time. It looks like DT is already molding the case for him to win. Sadly for Tana, I noticed that during her breakfast with Trump, he had a less-than-impressed look. I suspect that he prefers Alex's 'refined' demeanor to Tana's natural, sparkly style. Alex seems much more like Trump execs-- low key and deferential. Personally I am comfortable and impressed with both Tana & Alex. I think its unfortunate that Tana's personable style is too often perceived in as weakness in male-dominated industries like real estate development, or in the upper echelons of many corporate environments. In industries that cater to women, it's a definite plus over a more 'businessy' style, which I'm sure is why Tana was extremely successful in a sales capacity with Mary Kay. It would be in her best interests however to low-key it for the Trump organization. I'm just afraid that during the breakfast she turned up the volume. Maybe I'm wrong though.. I hope so. (tho I like Alex too )

How can you be impressed with Alex after what they showed of him in this episode? Ok, maybe its me, but he just seems to be doing as little work as possible, maybe its a strategy under the radar type of game plan... he does seem to be enjoying himself I give him that, but he goaded Chris, he reacted to Chris, he lost his temper just as Chris did, and then used it to his advantage - from my point of view... I lost respect for Alex due to the way he was portrayed, so maybe its all editing, its all a game anyway!

I can't help but be reminded of that one guy that works for Trump, that was asked on the last Apprentice show who he would choose and he stood up and blundered his words so badly no one could understand him. He did not come across as very refined nor sophisticated. I would venture to say that Trump surrounds himself with all types of people so that he can appeal to all the different types that are in business. You can bet that not all the people he does business with have a great deal of class or presence...many of them may have made money and some right decisions but that doesn't imply they have a low-key demeanor. He may need someone like Tana to stir things up a bit. I sure like her creativity and enthusiasm. She is definitely not a cookie cutter type person....and that is to her credit, I believe.

I bet Dominos is pissed that Papa John's stole their thunder with the commercial they showed during the show. I bet Domonios is pissed NBC allowed papa john's to buy airtime for this ep.

Tana's voice bugs me, I hate when she talks to the camera, she over pronounces her words like she is talking to preschoolers

Carolyn's reaction at the end leads me to believe she thought Chris should be fired.

Oh Hip, that sounds yummy. Personally, I would have gone with a nice chipped beef with gravy pizza, but that's just me.

A bit off topic -- but after hearing the idea of a "philly steak" pizza, I'm trying one this weekend! LOL I have a great crust recipe which I'll "paint" w/ olive oil. Then we'll add shaved beef, mushrooms, caramelized onions, green peppers and mozarella. That sounded so much better to me than MEATBALL pizza! PS -- I like Alexa and Tana too -- but think Alex is more DT's style. I would LOVE to be proved wrong on this, though as I think Tana works harder.

It was pretty funny when Tana, talking to the camera said, 'this is pizza, not rocket scientist'!

I am glad there are others here not on the Tana bandwagon. I still think she is over-rated. However, I really can't say who I think should win. Dalm

I'm thinking Craig might be in the final two. Would Trump dare pick another cookie-cutter white boy? Why bother watching another season if he did? We could narrow down the finalists from the first episodes. I almost get the impression that Trump had a soft spot for Chris.

P.S. There's a little hair salon near my place that has a big poster of Donald with a black bar across his eyes. Underneath it says, "NOT A CLIENT!!" lol

Ahhh -- so maybe that's why Tana wasn't allowed to continue w/ it. "Been there done that" issue? Bet mine will be better than Domino's though -- nothing beats homemeade pizza!

Try "breaking" the slice before eating it... all the calories fall out.
