Sean is on Regis and Kelly now and said being together and working together (three months, 24/7) you grow close. He says Trump kept asking (he asked over and over, "grilling me") if he was going to MARRY her but then asked if Sean was in love and he says yes, he is and he says "we're not gettin' married" but that they are dating now and very happy.


He says he was cringing each week as they were spotlighting his interest in Tammy..

He says he chose NY to be close to the Trump organization and also that being in NY he grew to love the city, reminds him of London

He also said of course he was nervous when waiting for Trump to announce the winner but that being nervous is okay, you just have to exude confidence. (Regis and Kelly said that Lee looked like he was going to throw up..)

I was puzzled why there was no mention as to how much money was raised for each charity. Wasn't that the barometer used in all of the other eliminations?

The continuity of the finale seemed weird to me.

It was rude to put Sean on the spot regarding whether he planned to ask Tammy to marry him.

We really shouldn't be surprised at what The Donald asks of people. Afterall, he did ask Randy if he should hire Rebecca and he did ask someone (can't remember his name) in the boardroom if he was gay.

Am I imagining that he asked a guy if he was a virgin in the boardroom?

Oh, and I agree that Lee looked like he was going to be ill just before he got fired.

Didn't he start shaking his head after Sean said that he and Tammy would marry?

Interesting posts, especially since I had no clue he was going to be on Regis and Kelly. I would have been curious to see it, and would have tuned in or taped it if I knew, but not that big a deal.

I agree with you all about Trump, how he put him on the spot and kept grilling about the romance etc etc. But must say in the last couple days I lost a lot of respect for him, not that I had that much to begin with lol. But next time he gives one of his holier than thou speeches about how important it is to give back I fear I may throw something at the TV. Given how beneficial the Apprentice has been for Trumps image, you would think he would toss just a bit back but it's becoming increasingly clear to me that he just uses his same business smoke screen approach to this. I'm not at all surprised, just a smidge disappointed.

After all there comes a point where you have so much money that more is totally about goals and ego with no need factoring in. I'll never forget what Garth Brooks said once quite a few years back, well before he retired. He said he has enough money for his grandchildren's grandchildren to be set for life, (I'm paraphrasing of course but think that was close). His point being that when he did anything money didn't motivate him at all. Too bad others can't grasp that principle, but as we know all to well with Trump everything is the biggest, the best, the most expensive yadda yadda. Don't get me wrong I'm all for success, but then at least give a little bit back eh?

And as for Lee, I think the way Trump said his name and did the dramatic pause thing messed with his head and for a sec he truly thought he won this thing. Unlike some others I felt he was a very viable candidate, and could have brought a lot to the organization--just not experience. But for sure Sean is the slicker, more polished and will do far better shaking hands at cocktail parties and on the golf course, etc.

OH almost forgot if you missed it and want to dl the show, I am pretty sure the Torrent is up. I was looking for something else but saw a new one posted, so would make sense it's the Finale (didn't know the episode number offhand and that is how they post them).

I think Sean and Trump deserve each other!

They are both a little centered on "self" for my taste. Ugh.

I loved Sean and thought he was very sweet when he went on and on about how he and Tammy would have "lots of little Apprentice babies." He clearly adores the girl. I never thought it was hype. I told DH, I just hope she likes him as much as he seems to like her!

I also thought Sean was the better leader. He was very supportive of his team, especially when Andrea had to leave to take care of her medical emergency. Though it was really putting him in a bind, he told her to go take care of herself and sent her off with a hug rather than a guilt trip. I thought he was a class act.

And for those wondering about how much the charities raised, don't you think that either the corporate sponsors or NBC (probably both) paid both charities a sizable donation to let their Apprentice candidates play at throwing a fund-raiser? I wouldn't think they'd go into it for free.

I only found out by complete accident that Sean was on Regis and Kelly and I don't normally watch it. I was just flicking around on my DVR schedule and saw it and turned it on, late, but did catch him!

I agree with Babyjaxmom, that the charities had to be assured that they'd get enough a donation to cover any disaster--at the very least.

Puzzled, and Baby, oh geez let me try to choose my words carefully here. I am CERTAIN that both charities were promised many things, enough so they would feel comfortable in committing to the events. What I am far less confident about is that all these promises were met. That would be quite sad wouldn't it? Especially since I would bet they had to sign standard confidentiality releases about some aspects of this. Of course non-profits by law have to make their incomes public, so if anyone thinks of it, come next charity end of year statement, I bet there would be some very interesting reading in that, especially if you compare it to their earnings in the past. One way or the other, that would be quite telling. Of course don't know what the odds are that by then anyone will care to do this.

I would think so, Christiii. Maybe I'm naive, but I hate to think NBC and Pontiac would leave those charities high and dry. Bad press and all that.

Just found this posted at the Fox Reality site:

Sean and Lee both say their Apprentice finale charity auctions raised more
June 8, 2006
by Andy Dehnart

The two Apprentice 5 finalists each say their charity auctions raised more for their respective charities. Talking to TV Guide, both Sean and Lee admit that they really don’t know how much they raised overall, but each is convinced they raised more than the other. Here’s what Sean says:


“To be honest, I don’t know, but I think it must have been $70,000-plus. It was a lot more than Lee’s. We auctioned off the G6 hardtop convertible for, like, $40 [thousand] — like 25 percent more than Lee’s went for. And the Solstice we auctioned off for like $27. And what wasn’t mentioned was we got a bit cheeky and asked the speaker company if they would auction off a lunch with [SLS spokesperson] Quincy Jones, and they said, “Absolutely.” So we got $3,000 for that. And then we auctioned off little things…. We kept pushing it and pushing it.”

And here’s Lee’s version:

“We raised well over $85,000, I’m pretty darn sure. We auctioned shirts off the players’ backs, and Michael J. Fox’s alone got over $3,500. … Ah, I don’t think so [that Sean raised more]. Like I said, Michael J. Fox’s jersey alone got $3,500, and I also auctioned off sports memorabilia, a chance for somebody to actually play in the game…. I got more for my Solstice, so… they choose what they want to show.”

I wouldn't be surprised if Lee made more and that's why they never told us the totals.

I don't think the totals were considered since these events were really planned by others weeks, if not months, in advance. The Trump teams jumped in at zero hour with some tasks to accomplish within a fully fleshed out plan.

Sean and Lee's behavior and how they handled their tasks and themselves within the event was the focus.

LOL Rosie - no, I don't think you are imagining that Trump asked one of the candidates in the BR if he was a virgin (unless we both are )

Trump didn't ask if anyone if they were gay or a virgin directly. It did come up though. The gay man mentioned it and Trump said he hadn't known he was gay.

Trump told the virgin that sex was a great thing, paraphrasing here. I don't know how he got wind of the virginity but it was on the table. Virgins, these days, tend to broadcast that fact. Something I find puzzling.

As for which group made more money in the fundraising, the two crowds appeared very different. In Sean's crowd, they were all well-dressed and looked like they had money to spend. In Lee's audience at the hockey rink, most looked like families out to let their kids enjoy watching celebrities play hockey - Two very different sets of clientele. So even if Lee's crowd did not put up as much money for the cars and other things, I don't think it would be a fair comparison anyways.

And let's not forget the built-in help Sean had by being at one of Trump's properties. Sean's win was for picking a team that required no leader. Lee had a team that required a leader for each member and that is where he lost the job - he made the mistake of letting Lenny pick his team.

I didn't care for this season but I think it's because I'm caring less and less for seeing Trump's ego at work. Good luck to Lee - some bright company will pick him up and I think he'll be better off for it - He'll get to keep his soul.
