I don't see how Trump could not have fired Craig after the comments made by the four executives who interviewed the candidates. They were extremely clear that Craig was the one that had to go. You mentioned Donald. Are you suggesting that all four of those executives also have a problem with African Americans???

Please Boberg. Did you watch Craig? He sucked and it had NOTHING to do with the color of his skin.

I don't think the color of Craig's skin had anything to do with his firing. His attitude towards women and the fact that several contestants mentioned to Trump that he was disparaging and condescending is what doomed him. Kwame this dude was NOT.

There was that one black executive, in one of the shows, in one of the seasons. I think. Maybe Trump had two women as finalists so he could fill one of the minority quotas this season, and next season the finalists will be one black, and one hispanic. I'm not happy, but I'm not shocked that corporate America is a big old white boys' club. I disliked Kendra from the start, but she really was the better of the two finalists, and we know her three "employees" will speak highly of her next week, and Tana's will still be immature and insulting. I have also never liked Tana that much. I could never resolve that Trump would hire a Tupperware lady to run his company.

ROFL you guys really cracked me up with all those : "The only way Kendra could lose next Thursday...is if " If she shows up with Cory, with a video of herself in a 3-way with PlayStation and Fab, and tells Trump that she's quitting, (as suggested to her by Omarosa, her secret consultant), then tells Carolyn she's a biotch, and flips off the old guy, while winking at Donald. You guys are just to funny! Thanks for the giggles!

This is a follow up story from last weeks paper on Kendra Palm Beach Post Jose Lambiet's Page two. Case closed! In the nick of time The nonpayment lawsuit against Kendra Todd, the Boynton Beach finalist of The Apprentice 3, came to a lightning-quick resolution Thursday. A courier brought an $1,150 check to Doug Balch, the producer who edited a short video for Todd's Web site but hadn't been paid for the work. Attorneys for Balch and Todd said the settlement was to everybody's satisfaction. "At one point, they were offering twice what they owed Doug just to get rid of it," said Balch's lawyer, Brian Guralnick. "But we refused. It was about getting paid for just the work, nothing more." Along with the check, Balch received a written apology from Todd's real-estate business partner, Charles Andrews. Balch said Andrews threatened him when he demanded his money from Todd. The alleged threats were briefly investigated by WPB police. No charges were filed. "I learned a valuable lesson," Andrews wrote. "Business to me is like sports, and sometimes you turn up the volume." Apprentice star Donald Trump told Page Two last week that he would look into the incidents before making up his mind about the winner, who will be announced Thursday on NBC.

I didn't see the tasks as unequal, either. Kendra had a lot of details to do to make that dumpy building look so good and it all work well. Most of Tana's things were set up for her and it was all about the management and she failed terribly, IMHO.

I know a lot of you pointed out Tana's terrible attitude toward and about her team, but the worst part of it for me was that right before she dissed Chris to one of the clients, he had just finished saying to the camera that he was working hard for Tana because he wanted her to win! I was so sad for him! I imagined him watching the episode and being very hurt.

Oh, and, also, the reason a lot of you thought it was the finale is because a lot of the media for some reason thought it was the finale. I was driving to work Thursday and the guy on the radio was like, whoopeee, tonight's the Apprentice finale! I knew because Tivo told me there was another episode but somehow not everyone got the memo.

Thanks for posting that Csnog. Interesting...wonder who actually cut that check? Was it the biz partner, Andrews, or Todd or....? Hmmm Well, it sure came in the nick of time! I wonder if it was overnighted to him? LOL I'd hate to hear that Kendra didn't win due to not paying this guy. Next show see: Donald says:"Kendra, You didn't pay some schmuck who didn't know when to take DOUBLE his money! So becuase of HIS stupidity, Your Fired! Tana, I guess you are hired...pack up your MaryKay and get ready to hold a make over in the boardroom!" Carolyn: Passes out. George: Snores as usual. Tana: "Oh I want to thank G od first and formost, for giving me the Power of a shark to eat up each of these *#(#$ contestants and spit them out! All the time I LOOK beautiful!"

I'm not sure how it is perceived in NY, but I do not like to be touched by people that don't know me. It usually has a condescending feel to it or a false sense of familiarity. I cringed at least twice last night when Tana touched Pataki's assistant and then again Bruce Jenner. She would do better to keep her hands to herself. She would probably be great for QVC, though. Maybe this will all work out for her after all.

Also, Chieko, the way she calls everyone "honey" and "sweetie" is very unprofessional and condescending. I cringe every time!

I do think Tana's project was broader in scope than Kendra's, but she also seemed to have a lot more outside help. Kendra used the resources she had well to produce a successful event. Tana didn't. If Tana' project wasn't a complete disaster, it was because of that outside help, who caught things like the egregious program error.

I totally thought Tana had the clear advantage until I saw this week's show. She acted TERRIBLY. Did she actually think that Carolyn and the other "higher-ups" would appreciate her negative comments about the team she was given? Can you imagine the humiliation of the athletes if someone more competent than Tana hadn't found the error of those fliers they were handing out?!And what was the deal with Tana's cursing comment about taking the pretzels with her? I went from rooting for Tana, to hoping she is dismissed in the first 2 minutes of next week's show. Or sooner. What a disappointment she turned out to be.

I think it is just so interesting how these final tasks really bring the candidates strengths & flaws to light. I would never want to have to run a big event like that Regarding Tana, what probably stunned me most was the way she said she couldnt walk out of the task with her team because they were her employees and she was above them. That was just too funny. Early on I thought she made a great boss but wow was I wrong.

I couldn't believe it when Tana said that she had a family and Kendra had nothing. Like, Kendra didn't had a life and didn't count because she wasn't married with children. Then Trump agreed with her! Wonder what Caroline was thinking--she has her degrees and a husband and children. Didn't use family as an excuse. Tana's bad mouthing of her crew to the official was a major blunder. How could he have any confidence in her when she dissed her own team? A lot of managing a project is keeping a good face on things. I could understand that because she had a box of world flags, that she would assume the U.S. flag was there, too. If she had apologised profusely to Pataki, explaining her mistake, and had treated his assistant better, he might well not have complained to Trump. She was just so awful to her team, and poor Chris really wanted her to win.

Tana really gets on my nerves with her big goofy self and i don't like Kendra either, i don't think either one is apprentice material.

This season's Apprentice may well be the lesser of two weevils.

I think Kendra is young, but shows great potential as she matures. Tana has already reached hers.

Puzzle, I think the point Tana was making (albeit badly) was that she was risking everything by trying to get the job as the Apprentice. That she has also put her family's life/lifestyle on the line too. I have always been turned off by Kendra, but she really impressed me even if Tana hadn't irritated me. I couldn't believe how she acted!

Bad mouthing your team / employees to a client is inexcusable. It’s certainly acceptable to say that an employee made a mistake but by generally degrading your employees you are degrading yourself and your organisation. All you are doing is losing the client’s confidence in your ability to fulfil their needs. It is simply horrible. Will she go on to degrade various aspects of the Trump organisation if she is hired as the apprentice? I’m sure that is something that Trump, Carolyn and George will consider. Sadly (because I generally liked what we had seen of her to this point), Tana’s actions on the show suggest her lack of experience in managing and dealing with big business.
