Cdbga, the front desk was the nicest one, no weird colours or fabrics going on. But that one fabric reminded me of the satin roller derby style jackets that were popular in the early 80s

Nancy, what other stuff can't you get past about Lee?

Julie - mostly his "politician"-speak, his blind devotion to defending Lenny even when it was obvious to him that Lenny should be fired (especially when, if he were to get his way, someone who DIDN'T deserve to be fired would have been), and he just generally rubs me the wrong way, I guess. He reminds me of the type of coworker who would work on a project with you, buy into the process, and then throw you under the bus if the boss didn't love it. Granted, that is a quality that many other apprentice-wannabes from this and other seasons share, but they are not in the final two.

Thanks Nancy. I do like Lee, but I know what ya mean about his "politician-speak." I actually loved how devoted he was to Lenny.

Well, I'm all for standing by your friends and such, but in the situations presented by this show, I feel you gotta be realistic. Like Rebecca and Toral last time. Rebecca knew it was time for Toral to go - after standing by her other times when she honestly felt it was NOT her time to go -and she said so in the board room. Lee admitted that Lenny had done a bad job but still insisted that he not be fired. That's the difference for me. But, hey - Lee winning would be better for my psyche than Allie or Roxanne winning, so it's all good

Something that I love about The Apprentice that isn't mentioned too often (though it was mentioned earlier here) is that at times it is so darned funny. I loved those awful clothes the women designed. The expression on the employees and Trump's kids faces when they saw them was too funny. Sean's line about Dynasty was a keeper! A couple of funny things from previous episodes were the guy with the floor and ceiling and how long it took him to show up and the team missing the boat. It just goes on and on. I just can't wait to see the next crazy thing that happens!

Sean keeps growing on me, I was ROTF when he said that Dynasty line. The girls? WTH were they thinking and Allie being rude to Mark and forgetting his name...I knew she was gone right then

Isn't it intesting that aside from Bill, we hardly ever hear about (much less see) winners from previous seasons. I mean, whatever happened to Kelly (aside from his reportedly trying to give himself "star status" on an airline)? We saw Kendra in a "staged" discussion with The Donald about *whatever* this season. Did the hiring of Randal really happen? I mean, he's invisible on the show. Not even a reference to him. I guess Bill must have been "the real thing" and the others (in some cases) not even worthy of televised acknowledgement!

I can't explain the others but I think the reason Randal is invisible is that he was invisible! By that I mean that the show is taped so far in advance, that they hadn't shown Randal's win from last season when this was being taped so they couldn't include Randal in this season's shows.

<<[Lee] reminds me of the type of coworker who would work on a project with you, buy into the process, and then throw you under the bus if the boss didn't love it.>> Nancy, I totally agree with you. I don't trust that guy - and I hate to say this because it sounds 'anti-male' - but especially as a woman. I have a feeling he will routinely throw women under the bus throughout his career. I noticed in the BR he had was giving off a 'boys club' type vibe that Trump seemed to pick up on At least Sean had obvious respect for Andrea and Tammy's abilities

Oh yeah, Buggles - that reminds me of another reason I am not a Lee fan: His attitude and comments about working for a woman when they were doing the salon task.

The reward for winning the task was a good one. Dinner with DT's kids really was special. I liked how Ivanka was having fun and talking spontaneously. It didnt seem stuffy at all. Did anyone notice Lee's face when Ivanka stated her dad disliked people who talk too much?? It just fell!! LOL I think he is very aware of his past performances involving fasttalk in the boardroom. Unless something spectacular happens during the final test I am hoping for a Sean WIN. I didnt think he was the best this year, but out of the final four he is the lessor of the evils.

Sean is sexy & has a sexy voice & that's the main reason I want him to win. Lee just reminds me of a weasle.

Maybe in his own part of the country he sounds the norm but I love an english accent, or welsh or scots for that matter. I especially love cockneys and their slang.

Ah, yes, what is it about accents? I could listen to him talk all day. I also fell for a Georgia boy once with a great accent. I get shivers just thinking about it.

That last board room was such a set up. After the total disaster--what were they thinking??--Trump was going to fire both of them. If they fought, his excuse would be that he didn't like to see friends turn on each other, and if they hadn't fought, he would have said they weren't tough enough. Fired, no matter what. Got to say, I couldn't stop laughing at the chef's sci-fi outfits, the weird short sleeved thing with aqua cuffs, and those awful poufy dresses.

I actually rewatched the fashion show several times, it was such a hoot! We need some picture grabs of the space age outfits.

Yes, Jasper! If someone has clips, it would sure be fun to replay again. The Apprentice Website doesn't give much to see, perhaps because the outfits were so bad the Trumpster didn't wish to further embarrass. So Long Allie and Roxie! Neither of ya had much sense or moxie! ....Bisc, the Poet - - - Yum, today's Business Section column by the Bellevue Community College Business Instructor, "teaching and coaching tool." was good as always: Wednesday, May 24, 2006, Seattle Post-Intelligence Link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/271324_apprentice24.html Apprentice 101: Synergy loses by not listening By MAUREEN MORIARTY, SPECIAL TO THE P-I ......"A feminine-looking design for the bell staff prompted a dismayed Sean to quip, "I would be emasculated in that!" ...."

LOL It isnt Sean's accent that does it for me. Love dark haired men and he's got a great mouth! nice and pouty LOL I never commented on the outfits last post. WHAT A HOOT! The boys did great but WOW, the girls messed up. I was imagining Disneyland or a fastfood diner when those awful uniforms were coming down the catwalk. no one looks good in those colours and Nothing about the designs said "first class hotel".

I thought Sean seemed much more at ease with "the kids" at dinner. Lee's actions and conversation seemed more "forced." Of course, that could be editing. I noticed that the camera caught him putting food in his mouth or chewing several times, and I didn't notice the same thing with Sean.
