Good point Roppiepie! I never heard DT make a negative comment amount Chris crying. Only about his tobacco chewing habit. On a side note - All the former Apprentices of this season were on the Today Show this morning with Matt Lauer. Matt: (to everyone) on a scale of 1 - 10, how much of an anger management issue did Chris have? everyone talking at once, but I heard 12 Matt: Chris, without getting angry, defend yourself. Chris: I don't have to defend myself. I don't have an anger issue (giving a big laugh) Matt: you do have a mug shot though

Which task did Tana say "I'm exempt so I don't have to work". I don't remember that. Was it the Pontiac task - and she said that before going to bed? I agree that Kendra was definitely worried during that task for not getting due credit, but I would be too if I was up all night working on it. And I can understand her wanting to give the presentation to the execs - because she did all of the work, so she could best convey the finished concept. I believe that the layout, writing, how the photos were used, typeface, etc, were equally as important to the brochure. Despite Tana's incessant claims, I don't believe that the ONLY reason Pontiac execs loved it was because it was round. I also believe that the other team did such a poor job, that even if the brochure was square, they would have won. Lastly - I do think that Tana's final task was more difficult because it appeared that she had so many more people to report to and areas to oversee. It seemed like Kendra only had a couple of people to please. I think previous final tasks were more equal in responsibilities and challenges. btw - I really liked Tana's look tonight. I thought she looked better than she did during the season.

We need to remember that before this season even started, they knew the two finalists. That allowed the editing to show us what they wanted us to see. Remember, we saw only a small portion of what actually went on...and I am certain that much much was not shown. I felt bad watching Tana self-destruct. I agree. Tape the final and edit it so we dont have to see all those commercials, DT's new projects and self-talk...gosh what an ego!

Tana was my favorite all season, but yes, her theatrics last night were embarrassing. I thought they were really too hard on her for her "treatment" of her team. Every project manager disses their team when they perform poorly - we've all seen the little "on the street" interviews they do. In watching the recap of the season though, you could really see how instrumental Kendra was in winning for her team, even when she wasn't PM. I just think she can be ditzy at times, with that blank stare of hers. Oh well, the Martha one should be interesting.

Thanks for the article Texannie, quite interesting. I always had a problem with the Pontiac task where they made it look like Tana and Craig quit. Essentially, Kendra wanted them to just sit there and watch her type up the text. What was left to do on the brochure was a one-person job. I'd like to know when Trump actually watches the edited episodes too. There have been some things that have gone on that don't come up in the boardroom.

Any catch DT and Kendra on the Today Show? I only caught the tail end. Can someone give a recap?

I remember it a bit differently. I remember Kendra trying to get Tana and Craig to work with her on the content, but Craig thought all of Kendra's ideas for the text was "stupid"...Craig wanted to do what the guys on the other team wanted to do (you know...the guys that LOST?). But since Craig couldn't change Kendra's mind about the text, he basically withdrew and just sat there like a lump on a log. Tana did what she always has, which was removed herself from the conflict...and just kinda shut down. She mentally left that project, just like she left Kendra in the bathroom!!! Both Tana and Craig left Kendra with that entire project because they WANTED and EXPECTED her to fail without them....they both totally expected to be in the boardroom where they would band together to get Kendra fired. That is what Trump would see if he watched all the unaired footage of that task.

Julie, it wasn't much. She continued to fawn over Trump. He said the deciding factor was that Tana didn't get along with her teammates.

Thanks Annie! So was it Kendra or Katie who fawned over DT. Kep I agree, Craig and Tana showed no interest (at least in my opinion) in working on the brochure...

I wonder if they both shot that Pontiac commercial at the end of the show, if they didn't then DT decided Kendra was winner awhile ago since she would have had to film that commercial days/weeks earlier

The article pointed out a significant issue that I noticed last night. That Trumpster only sees the editted programs and bases his choice on that.

I was truly disappointed, editing made Kendra win and I have to wonder if Tana being a Mom is what really held him back. Tana was by far better overall on tasks and did take risks and came up with ideas that were amazing. Kendra fought with Craig the whole way through so the whole you got along with your teammates thing was a little hypocritical for me. She did in the last task but not prior to that! I am sure the Donald will have his hands full with Kendra's whining and pouting. And I am sure Tana will get some amazing offers and she should be proud of her self.

My two cents: They both had skills that DT could use, and since he had two very different projects available, he should have hired them both!

I'm sure the Pontiac commercial was shot some time ago. It's possible that several of them made the same footage, just in case. Could have happened (and probably did) when they were doing the brochure. It definitely wasn't "live" and trying to get us to believe it was is why DT was trying to shoo Kendra off the set to go get the car "that was waiting for her." Yeah, right. I think both Tana and Kendra had good skills and bad skills. I also think that if they had "real" jobs in the Trump organization, they wouldn't last long. Remember, it's all about TV ratings and boosting the Trump image/empire. That's all. I'm not sure that either of the women really grasp that.

I did not see it as Kendra fighting with Craig, I saw it as Craig fighting with and being condescending to Kendra.

Well, I think Kendra may be immature and a little rough around the edges, but she does have that college degree and the real estate background. I think she'll learn a lot and grow up during the next few months. There was no way DT could've hired Tana after her lackluster performance last week. He made the right decision. (Although I did turn to DH during the show last night and complain, "A beauty pageant???? The 'boys' get huge construction projects and the 'girls' get a beauty pageant? Is DT a chauvanist or what?" I think Tana wanted Miss Universe cause she saw it as a huge unexplored market for Mary Kay!)

Babyjaxmom: Don't forget, Tana probably also saw a chance to use her "Bedazzler" on all the clothing those pageant gals would have! LOL

They really cut the finale short this season and it wasn't very good either.

LOL Auntiemike. I'm not surprised that DT only watches the edited footage. Imagine how much time it would take to watch everything? I figured that he'd only watch the raw footage if something controversial is called to his attention (like Omarosa's accusation of the use of the "N" word). BUT, I thought that's why Caroline and George are always on the tasks - to be DT's eye & ears. Why didn't whoever was overseeing that task bring up that it was part Tana's idea? Was it because it wasn't that important? I still feel that although that was edited out and came as a surprise to all, it did not make or break that task. Although it was emphasized that the brochure being round was an important element, I still believe if it was square they would have won. Tana may have come up with a good idea - but she checked out of the task saying: "Honey I know I did a damn good job, I'm exempt, my ass isn't going anywhere, so good night, god bless." So it seems to boil down to just a matter of giving credit where credit is due. It didn't illustrate a hard, dedicated employee. I think Tana and Craig (although I didn't like him) made a good and creative team.

Why is it that when men were Apprentices , the job was to oversee the creation of huge skyscrapers but when it is women, the job is the Miss Universe contest or remodelling a home????
