Wow Whoami, sounds like you had a platelet disorder OR a bleeding problem. Good thing you grew out of it! I used to have them really bad myself...but I used to take aspirin.

I kinda rolled my eyes when Andrea said she was coughing up blood. I never even noticed her coughing that hard. It is actually not uncommon to break a blood vessel when coughing hard.

If it was her nose you'd think she'd be sneezing. Blood will tingle/tickle.

Lee has taken DT's comments to heart. In the boardroom when DT told Lee and sean that they were final two, DT made a comment about firing both Rox and Allie because they werent loyal to each other.

SO now Lee has picked three so-called LOYAL Lee followers to give himself a better chance. However, he seems overwhelmed.

I couldnt believe it when the Lady Charity Director told Lee that he couldnt just get a Keg of Beer and he said "really?".

He just is so young and completely inexperienced I dont think he has a chance. I am sure Lenny and Rox will try but frankly, neither of them have the charisma of the other team.

None of them are go-getters and none of the three have seemed creative at all.

This is going to be the most uneven Finale' of the Trump Show.

I'll be completely shocked if Sean doesnt win the game.

I thought all the sucking up was very funny.

Also LOVED that Carolyn (and George and Trump and ME TOO!) had no idea who that one guy was..

They may be trying to fool us but so far, unless Sean fails to take control with Andrea gone (or gets to sidetracked on his "intended", he seems much more impressive so far.

Lee has struck out several times and most embarrassingly, in front of Carolyn. And he just let Lenny choose for him!

I guess they have completely abadonned having the interviews with experts and recommendations..

I think Trump should hire Sean..

I would think that Andrea would have been able to get the hotel to call in a doctor and see one right there at the hotel. Will be interesting to see if she returns.

I felt very bad for Andrea last night. She was never a favorite person of mine, and whether she caused the bleeding or not, she was very frightened, as I would be in the same circumstances. I felt her fear as she left crying...and the fact that she was totally alone in this whole thing could have made her fear worse. I thought it was very insensitive the way that Tammy asked her to go shopping on her way back from the doctors.

I could not believe Lee...um Lenny...chose Pepi. I laughed out loud when the lady was demanding creative ideas during the meeting and Pepi just sat there with his mouth open...simply staring. I think the only reason Pepi was chosen was because that was the only person that Lenny felt he could get along with. Lenny didn't want Roxanne either, but because Lenny couldn't get along with any of the others either, Roxanne got the slot because Lee wanted her.

I want Sean to win, and it would appear I will get my wish...LOL

I remember saying that someone's voice made my ears bleed, but it was Tammy's! I think that Andrea is a real asset to Sean's team. She is business smart and seems like she is willing to work hard for Sean. I'd thought all season that Andrea was the only one of this group who could really pull off being Trump's apprentice.

I also hope it is just a sinus problem with Andrea. If your sinuses are bleeding, for whatever reason, it would run down your throat. I'm only concerned because she said she was coughing up "chunks" of blood! Yikes! I, too, commend Sean for his concern for Andrea. I'll bet if she had been on Lee's team, he would have whined and complained. Just seems like that kind of guy to me. GO SEAN (but leave your lust for Tammy at the door until this challenge is over!).

OMG, too funny about Trump and Caroline not knowing who Pepi is!!

It is likely that Andrea's nose bleed was the cause of her bloody cough. Since one would spend hours in the ER waiting room, with those symptoms, I assume that production was able to get a doctor to look at her quickly.

I thought it was smart of Tammy to have her do a chore on the way back. Clearly she was going to be fine!

The giggling over Pepe was the highlight of the show. I love it when Carolyn cracks up.

Sean using the terms darling, sweetheart and baby makes it quite clear that they have much more going on than was shown. I think it is sweet. He wants the job, the girl and a new life. He will get that. I will be stunned if Trump hires Lee.

Odd that a charity event is the final challenge. Previously the judging has been subjective for the final challenge and not a money total to illustrate the success.

It is unlikely that Pontiac would match funds ontop of donating two cars. Are we to assume that the crowd will bid way over the value of the cars? It seems that there is a ceiling on what they will bring and it will be right around the sticker price. Now if they sold raffle tickets the amount could be much higher.

We are seeing little of what this challenge entails or criteria for a win.

Fruit, if the cars are donated, whatever the selling price is would be considered the amount of money earned.

I just cannot stand Lenny. I don't get why he forced Lee to choose Roxanne and Pepe (whoever that is) and if Lee wins, it will be a fix as far as I am concerned, because he does not have anything going for him. Not one blasted thing. JMHO

I get that, Huk. My point is that the bidders are not going to go way over the sticker price. And how many bidders will there be? Not many. So they can count on the fact that the cars will probably bring in about $25,000, or so, a piece.

I still think raffle tickets would have been the way to go. If you go to a charity event you are prepared to donate but would you bid on a car? Some will come willing to spend $100, perhaps. Some only $20. We don't even know how many are supposed to show up.

If I were going to see Bare Naked Ladies I doubt I would find myself buying a car but I may purchase some raffle tickets in hopes of winning one.

Loved the show last night! I think that Sean and Tammy wasted their time picking out the food. Couldn't that be done over the phone or even just tell the place to choose food for them?

Looks like Lee doesn't stand a chance! But I love Lenny and I don't think he forced Lee to do anything.

Who do you guys think Lee should have brought with? I am having a hard time trying to think of three "good" ones...

It is bizarre imo to see Lee in the F2. I know he is ivy league brilliant and I'm sure he'll be successful down the road in his career, but he does look ridiculously overwhelmed. I know, just know, there are millions (or can we at least say many thousands) of young professionals out there who are more qualified.

I think it reflects poorly on Trump - this is the BEST he can find in America to run one of his companies ?????

At least with some of the others, we could sort of buy into the fantasy and pretend.

Sean's crush on Tammy is cute imo. It could hurt him (the catering team??), but I think Trump might kind of like it too.

When Sean went on about how wonderful and smart and attractive Tammy was before she was fired, to be honest I thought he was just blowing smoke. I didn't think he was sincere, but apparently he was.

Andrea's coughing up blood should be taken seriously. I find it disturbing that anyone would downplay it at this point. I have had many health problems that were initially dismissed by those around me, even healthcare professionals, that turned out to be very serious.

A few thoughts...

1. I didn't think Pontiac passed on the idea of matching funds. I thought after the meeting the woman from Pontiac said Lee's team raised the issue but never followed up on it, and that was a big loss. My impression was they would be willing to provide matching funds, but Le'ss team never sealed the deal on it.

2. I thought it was tacky and thoughtless of Tammy to ask Andrea to run an errand on the way back from the doctor. Clearly Andrea was very upset, since she was coughing up blood. There was no way to know whether it was serious or not. Tammy should have said, "Call us when you know what's wrong," and then if everything is all right, send her to the grocery store.

3. A raffle is a *much* better idea, in my opinion. There is no limit to what you can raise with a raffle. That hall sat 1000 people, according to the venue manager; Knowing it was a charity event, people expect to make donations. You could probably get an average of $50-100 a piece from them, especially if you have two separate raffles, one for each car; there's up to $100,000 right there. Sell the raffle tickets for $25 each or 5 for $100.

4. Other than picking Lee's team, what contribution has Lenny made so far? At least Pepe (whoever he is) brought up the matching funds idea.

Andrea's nose bleed will probably generate debate until Monday. It is unlikely that a serious condition would present itself, suddenly, in a young, healthy woman with no other symptoms.

Production and Trump are LOVING the budding romance. This will generate buzz and benefit the show. It is another positive tick mark in Seans column. As if he needs more. This guy is the winner.

Lenny's choice of Pepe is hysterical. I suppose they bonded while waiting for the show to conclude. Roxanne must have done some fast talking at zero hour to be chosen.

I got the feeling when Lee said this he was calling her a sanctimonious so and so in his head.

I didn't hear Donald say this was going to be based on how much money they raised. But based on the overall challenge.

With the cars, why did the execs act all uptight about giving them both cars and in the next breath say oh ok. Very weird.

I don't know if someone else wrote about this or not, but when the lady from the charity called Lee, he answered her with "hey, what's up?" or something like that. She responded with, "what's up?" and he should have gotten a clue that she is not as laid back as he is. I thought he sounded like a weiner.

To me, being a politician means being slimy and really not doing anything, but being a weasel. I am wondering if Lee fits that - hmmmm

It doesn't matter whether it was serious or not. Andrea was in tears about it. She was coughing up blood, which may or may not be a serious problem. Tammy should have shown a little tact and expressed more concern over Andrea than the friggin' groceries.

Personally, I think it probably was a nosebleed, but since I wasn't there, I didn't experience what Andrea experienced, and I'm not a doctor, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I just wish Tammy had.

Julie, I was thinking that I would have picked Dan, Tarek and Bryce. I liked Sean's choices, but I just don't get Lee's at all. Guess we will have to see how the events go before we know if his team choice helps or hurts him. But from the show last night, it didn't look like they were helping. Pepi does get points for thinking of the match, but he just didn't seem to have the...I don't know, confidence, to come out and ask them, so he loses points on follow-through (although IIRC, Lee kind of interrupted that to steer towards the car donation idea.)

...and what was the deal with the call ins "voting" that Lee picked the better group??? It was like 38 to 62% both times. I even had to rewind to make sure I read the names right.

Anyone one else have their "three?"

On the West Coast, the first "results" for the voting had Lee as the one the majority of people thought WOULD pick the best team (their wording, since voting took place before the teams were picked). The second "final results" had Sean as the winner for having picked the best team by about a 2-1 margin. So, looks like for some reason folks trusted Lee would pick the better team (which surprises me, 'cause everyone knew he'd pick Lenny), but once they saw who he picked, quickly jumped to Sean.

Strange, cuz that's not what our results showed. The second time it had Lee at 62% and Sean at 38%. I rewound to make sure. Though now I am doubting myself and will recheck again. What did other areas show?
