Joe can't do the show now because there aren't union laborors. Big bind for Rebbeca's team. Going to try to work it out. But Joe can't go against the union.

Reb's meet Linda from Yahoo and the other Yahoo people are looking over everything. They are being told its to be in the Yahoo colors and that they the Yahoo Women are tough women, wanting to know if they are going to find a purple cake and that they are concerned about only 3 bartenders for 150 people. They (Yahoo) dont want to press people on the spot to donate and that they dont want them to ask them for moeny but they said its okay to put something in the gift bag for a donations. Now we are at the park and they are working on setting the tent and fence up and Marks working real hard at it. Tables and chairs are there. Mark says he hasnt seen anyone come out of the suite in 6 hours and now he is asking for help from someone and now the guy that is the big shot is wondering where everyone is at. They have a lot of stuff that needs tohappen as he is telling Randall up in the office, and they SHOULD be done setting up tonight. The people that are coming tomorrow that everything is to go smoothly and that Randall will not be smiling tomorrow if not. Now we are back to Reb's team and Joe is saying that his Union says he can't do the show, he was the big show and now they are in a HUGE bind. And that Joe can't think of someone that is NON Union. Now they are all very worried about it. Back at the park and its dark and now they are up to 95 chairs Josh is on banners and Marshawn is doing benches, they are all working together and its coming together. To be rainy and cold tomorrow the weather lady says.

Randal is letting me down a little bit. I'm hoping it's just the editing because it's difficult to watch Randal not on top of things. Rebecca seems to have it all together. She and her team seem to be doing a lot more for their event than Randal and his team. I am pulling for Randal to win, but will not be too disappointed if Rebecca wins. They are both worthy of the position. I almost thought that Joe P. saying he couldn't come was done on purpose to see how Rebecca and team would handle the situation. But, as all powerful as The Donald is, I don't think he had anything to do with the sudden change in the weather to test Randal's team. We may see Kendra next season. Maybe her winning last time and the start of filming for this season was to close for her to have really gotten started in the Trump organization.

I think the negative slant on Randall's performance was an attempt to make the outcome seem less predictable. Rebecca's record was nowhere close to Randall's, but they needed to make it look like she's just as competent. Rebecca said she had never planned an event before, but she did plan that disaster of an event at the senior center. I thought it was good that the Yahoo people were giving her very specific input as to what they do and don't want, although they tried to make it sound like a problem. I expect Piscopo will show up at the last minute and all will be saved. That last minute dropout did feel staged. They always end the first half of the final episode with both teams hitting problems, like Jessica Simpson's disappearance or the missing flag. The weather thing is probably bogus, too. I didn't get why all 4 people on Excel had to be present at the party shop. I'm shocked and impressed that this time around the "employees" are actually trying hard to help their PM win. Usually they're bitter and unmotivated. I also found it interesting that the PMs got to pick their employees from the entire group. In the past I thought Trump only brought back a select few (the most unmanageable) and they had to pick from there. It would've been fun to see them trying to work with Clay and Christy.

i think since trump gave them their assignments and he said joe piscopo would be the emcee, that this was all planned out to throw a wrench in the works. it wasn't as if rebecca chose joe. it's just like the weather for randal. he didn't even check the forecast and they only had 2 or 3 days to set things up. rain would most likely have already been forecasted. even the one exec asked about the weather, as if he were trying to hint to randal to put up more tents, etc. both are given tough things to overcome. rebecca ought to have the glazer boy emcee in honor of his late mother. thank God none of them had to work with markus. he was scary...of course, the network would probably not have let him come back, since they were talking about suing him and jennifer.

oh, also i swore that joe told the guy something on the phone along the line of he needed rebecca's group to sign something for the union to let him appear. then all of a sudden, it was that he wasn't able to come at all.

Tabbyking, I was just about to make a post about Randal looking like a deer in headlights when the Outback guy mentioned the weather. It's going to be a long week waiting to see the results of the two tasks and who wins in the end.

Just in the midst of watching my tape and have one comment and one question. Comment: Maybe the surprise was that Randal and Rebecca got to choose the members of their teams from the WHOLE group of participants this year. Usually they just drag in an assorted random 6 people (remember Omarosa?) and say, tough, this is who you get to pick from. I thought this was SOOOO much better: you get a committed team who are flattered that you chose them, and it was fascinating to see Randal and Rebecca head for the same people (was it Josh and James?). Question: I didn't watch the show from the beginning this year (I was so turned off by the whole Martha Stewart idea that I admit, I boycotted for a while), so am somewhat confused by the male members of the support teams. Can anyone give me a brief rundown on Josh, James, Chris and Mark (I keep confusing James and Mark!!, thank goodness Josh wears glasses and Chris is bulky!): I am wondering what were their strongest achievements on camera (whether in "captain" or support role), and what caused them to be eliminated. Certainly both Randal and Reb. seem to think really highly of them, and they do seem to be go-getters. vEry impressed with Josh re Pediatric Aids gig. Thanks for any enlightenment!

I just got back from an Event Planners Seminar, and the number one rule is to plan for the "Worst Case Scenario" which in Randalls case, with an outdoor venue, would be the weather. I'm assuming they have a fairly hefty budget and the fact that he didn't even consider the rain factor and the rental of additional tents is crazy! I like them both, so it doesn't really matter who wins. But I'm guessing because of the editing, it's Randall!

I also think the Joe/union thing was a set up and that they missed the 'clues' on how to fix it. Randall is going to win since they edited him so badly last night

Clutter - some info about the guys: Chris was eliminated after the second task (create an ad campaign for the new Lamborghini). He was a strong performer, but was fired for taking the wrong person to the final boardroom. He wanted to get rid of Markus, and only chose him for the final boardroom, although Trump was very clear that he didn't think Markus should be in the final boardroom as he felt Mark was most responsibile for the loss. Chris chose Markus, not Mark and Trump fired him for it. Josh, James and Mark were part of the mass firing after the Dick's Sporting goods task. The task was to put on an expo for the sport of their choosing, the winner was the team that increased sales by the highest percentage. Their team chose baseball and gave a good expo, but weren't focused on sales and Dick's actually sold less baseball merchandise during their task than they usually do (30% less, I think). Josh was PM, James had chosen baseball as the sport and Mark had run the batting cage, none had really done any selling. So all three (along with Jen) were fired. Up to that point, they all seemed to be strong performers(although James had been more in the background. I don't think he even got a chance at PM). Josh was comic relief. And, for me at least, James was the eye candy. I'm glad to see all of them back. I think we might have had a more interesting season if they'd stayed around longer. I enjoyed the mass firing for the shock value, but it did leave us with fewer strong players. Would have been preferable to see a mass firing with people like Markus and Clay. You might want to check out Wikipedia's Apprentice 4 page. They have each task listed, with PMs, who was fired and why, "special notes" about the ep, and a lot more. I just love Wikipedia.
