I think the big deal, to some, is that the entire task was more of a team effort than it appeared. One of Tana's and Craigs complaints was that Kendra was spending too much time on viewing the photos. They could have finished the brochure long before dawn with better time management.

Trump got the employee best suited for him and Tana will have many doors open to her. She will be offered a high paying job. I would not be surprized to hear that OVC or Mary Kay offers an excutive position.

Trump could give her the Miss Universe Pagent, down the line, as well. He hired Andy from last season.

I don't think he will keep Kelly after his contract expires and it won't be about the airplane incident either.

I saw it on TV and it was very brief. He just said he hired him and Andy was there. I can't remember the show.

Ms. Bat - I'm afraid I have to disagree with you about executive positions being offered to Tana. After her behavior (and her mouth) on the last two episodes of the Apprentice and the talk show circuits, I don't think that many doors will be opening for Tana anytime soon. I'm with the person who posted above that Mary Kay Ash is probably turning in her grave right now.

"....Tana will have many doors open to her. She will be offered a high paying job. I would not be surprized to hear that OVC or Mary Kay offers an excutive position."

Not unless Tana stays off late night talk shows... I think if she continues to try and garner the spotlight like she has this past week, the only thing she will be offered is a rapping gig with Omarosa.

I agree with the others that I can't see Mary Kay promoting Tana based on her recent appearances. I remember when my mom was selling Mary Kay, image was a VERY BIG thing (although she didn't experience the religion thing that someone here mentioned). If Tana kept her appearance that she had early in the season, I'm sure Mary Kay would be loving it! QVC could be a different story (was that really from this season? It seems soooo long ago!)

I haven't seen all of Tana's appearances, but what I saw on Conan alone was less than ideal.
First; her trying to seem like a b-girl and have "street cred", made her seem a bit immature.
Second; I'm not a prude by any means, but my jaw did drop when I saw her do the "stroke someone's ego" (along with the sexual hand gesture). And her "blow smoke up someone's a$$" comment.
I wouldn't blink twice seeing Eminem do this - but I wouldn't have him represent Mary Kay either...

Maybe since she is so "down", and hung with Lil John and his boys (or "crib" - as Tana said), he will hire her as a spokesperson for his Crunk beverage.
Or maybe the Bedazzeler will make a big comeback! 2

Seriously though, I think she is a talented and creative person, and I wish her much success.

Tomorrow afternoon Tana will be on Fishbowl radio on the Reality Now program. If you go to the chatroom while the radio show is on, you can ask questions. On Friday, Kendra will be on the Apprentice Talk radio program.

can you please provide the link for that? (Fishbowl radio) I would be interested in hearing that. I'm wondering if her behavior during and after the finale will be addressed.

Ladytex, I want you to go on FISHBOWL when Tana is on, and say "You're not brown, and we don't want you!".

I would pay big money to see that screen cap.

You know what sucks? We are going to see Tana on the apprentice again, a la Omar. Trump may not have liked O, but her sure brings her back enough.

I don't think Tana is handling her situation well, but I still liked her a lot during the show. I don't think her negative publicity will bother the Mary Kay executives that much - she is probably so high up on the ladder there that she doesn't do much actual selling - she probably has a network of consultants underneath her - and the people that she DOES deal with probably already know her general personality.

She is a bright, successful woman and I suspect she will continue to be the same once her 15 minutes of fame are gone.

She just obviously didn't deal with stress and failure well - hopefully it will be a learning experience for her.

Somewhere here there was a link to Tana's website...something like HeyTana??? Anyway, I checked it out and looked at some videos of her trying to sell MaryKay stuff to car salesmen. Interesting concept, but what I took away from those video clips is that she is a Mary Kay distributor/sales person with a rough, tough edge. Her approach wouldn't be one I'd respond to...people may buy but only to get her off their back. Having the sensitivities of an empath, I'd probably feel her approach as bullying.

I'm listening to Tana on the Fishbowl right now.

Paraphrased: "Kendra was definitely just as qualified as me. He made the right decision for the Trump organization. I do wish it was me."

She (Tana) didn't have a strategy, "I'm all or nothing, dive in feet first."

She doesn't feel she was edited fairly.

Her final task went over amazing and she got 2 job offers from that final task. How much time do they get between tasks.

No downtime. Task lasts 2-3 days and they get a new task right away. They were all exhausted all the time.

She was aware she was an early favorite. She's a straight shooter and says what she means, she's an honest and open book.

(She is on the phone calling in to the fishbowl, she is right now at her children's school while on the phone.)

Erika quotes Tana from show "It's not Rocket scientist" her husband said she says the dumbest stuff, she says she talks too fast and always just says what comes to mind and half the time it doesn't make sense.

Tana says Trump was at event and was impressed and heard her get offered a job by nyc2012. She thinks he (Trump) wouldn't give her the job because she didn't have a degree. Kendra called her team incompetent fools, worse than 3 stooges. Reality was that she gave them something they could use and it was her own fault.

Kristin is wild and was very upset with Tana. Tana was so sorry and very upset her team was upset by negative things she said. It was hard to apologize. They never showed the positive things Tana said.

Stuff to get off your chest? Tana "no". The experience was what she expected. Being on live tv was one of the hardest things she had to do, she didn't like what she had seen on tv prior to the live show. If it (Tana winning) was meant to be it would've. She was disappointed not not win but was happy for Kendra. She was remembering what they did to Jen last season during finale. Tana is holding her head up high and learning from mistakes.

Erika (fishbowl) complementing her on brochure for Pontiac. She went to bed at 4:45 am so she didn't go to bed that early. She and Craig are friends. They aren't big on phone calls to each other, both have kids. Her kids are 10 and 6 and are "amazing". Scott (fishbowl) will hook her up with his wife who has done many childrens' books. Tana mentions her kids book off and on.

All stars, probably not but maybe if it was "swimming obstacles" she would and would want to pick her teammates and would pick Craig. She has contacted 2 universities to get the final 28 credits out of the way and be a college grad. With her life success she didn't need it but for her kids she wants to be role model to get it (degree).

Why Craig portrayed as condescending to women? She says Craig is not but is just impatient and was with some of the women. He treated Tana like a queen.

She watches Contender and Bachelorette but doesn't really say she is into reality tv. kind of made it seem like she isn't. She doesn't know Erika of BB.

Age a factor? it was a factor, experience and maturity factored in but gender and age probably weren't a factor.

She was very normal and not wild sounding. Scott and Erika like her.

Thank you Happymom!!! I am so glad to hear her "normal" again.... So they didn't question her about her over-the-top behavior on any after-shows or at the finale?

Re Tana and Fishbowl -- WHATEVER. She continues with her self-serving jibberish.

Kendra will earn less with Trump than she normally does.
Donald Trump's first female apprentice is taking a pay cut for the privilege of working with him. Kendra "Todd says she'll definitely be making less money than she has been running My House Real Estate," the Palm Beach Post reports. But she's still excited, saying, "$250,000 is a base salary. But I think it's a heck of a base salary." Kendra will begin by "working in Westchester, N.Y., for about three months with Carolyn Kepcher, Trump's cool-as-ice vice president and Apprentice co-star, to learn the corporate ropes." Then she'll head down to Palm Beach. She has high hopes for her tenure with the Trump Organization, saying, "I have an entire presentation for him already with so many great ideas. I'm going to put Trump on the map."

She's going to put Trump on the map? That's kind of cute.

Does anyone know if the winner's must stop doing their previous job during their year with Trump? I wouldn't think that if you own your own business, that you'd have to stop or sell purely to work for Trump for a year. I wonder what the legalities are for that...

Julie, I'm sorry, I don't remember really if they questioned Tana about her over the top behavior during the finale or other shows. I think they may have mentioned the finale. I was just typing as fast as I could and watching the clock because my 2 younger kids get out of school at 3 and I pick them up! I wasn't able to type everything. I think if they talked about it, she may have answered in a non crazy way, so, I didn't pick up on it.

LOL about Kendra putting Trump on the map!

If you listen to her interview, she says that her partner is handling their business and that they've brought someone in to assist him. she's spending three months learning from Caroline before she goes back to FL to work on the house. That really is right up her alley.

In the article, the author says:

..."But she also gained notoriety as the first contestant to be "bleeped" on "The Apprentice,"...

I don't recall her ever getting "bleeped" during The Apprentice, but I guess if it did happen, then it wasn't enough for me to think much about it - leading me to my next point - she gained notoriety from it?? I think the notoriety she gained was from her foolish behavior - mostly after the live finale.
And lastly - Heidi Bressler (Season 1) was never "bleeped"?? SHE was notorious for her mouth and "dropping the f-bomb".

Oops -- just double-checked, and since 2001, the President has earned 400,000. Guess Kendra isn't quite to his level yet! LOL
