Maybe they got last night's episode and the movie Napoleon Dynamite mixed up and thought they were voting for Pedro?

Out here CA it showed Lee winning in first vote and Sean winning in 2nd

I think the reason Andrea was so upset is that she is a control freak and she felt out of control since she had no power over what was happening to her. I have a friend that is like that

Lee is going to have to show me much, much more than he has so far. I think that hands down Sean is the winner. That definitely means Lee will win, since I usually pick wrong. Trump should let TVCH pick the winner!

The editing was something else. How on earth are we to guess who will win now?

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




I was literally giggling along with Carolyn at that point!

What Tammy SHOULD have done was QUICKLY gotten detailed status on Andrea's tasks in progress! Instead she wrinkles her nose and asks her to stop at the grocery! Should have urged her to call and let them know how she is, show concern (and at the same time possibly be able to ask questions, in case she cannot return.) Clearly she's never had an employee doing a critical task have to leave suddenly. The concept is "turnover" of tasks Sean might have also done a bit more of that and perhaps walked Andrea out, which would have supported her, and he could have gotten the turnover and even kept her mind off the blood for that time, too. But at least he was sweet and supportive.

I have only seen tiny bits and pieces of the show all season but I did manage to see the whole show last nite. Lee's behaviour reminds me of every slick, sucky-uppy, used car salesman I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. He just sounds like such a whiney adolescent. Has he behaved this way all season??

Also Tammy's total lack of compassion for her bleeding co-worker blew me away. Did she even look up from her computer screen at least once to show any kind of concern at all? I know they are under a lot of pressure but geez louise take 10 seconds to at least show some empathy and then ask her to do grocery shopping!!!

Wink, I totally agree with your assesment of Lee. I feel exaactly the same way about him. Used car salesman written all over him. And I think Tammy should have shown a lot more consideration. She is just in her own little world. I was glad to see Sean so some compassion and tell her not to worry. I think Andrea was trying to tell Tammy want needed to be done but she acted like "well, ok and move along". That hacked me.

I think there are pros and cons to each finalist. Sean is too enamoured with Tammy to do a good job. What's with kissing the "help". I would not feel comfortable with that if I were on that team. Plus, I think Tammy is overrated. She did not perform all that well on past tasks, if I remember correctly. And, didn't DT put down Tarek any opportunity he got with regard to is IQ? I don't remember too many people liking Andrea either as she was so aggressive and bossy (and, might I add, delusional) at times.

Lee is young and a little cocky but that is what has gotten him to the F2. We shouldn't put Pepe down so much as we really don't know what he is capable of. He was gone too soon for us to see him perform in different situations. I think Roxanne can be good, and focused, if given the chance. She did make the mistake to be loyal (and befriend) Allie, however.

It all depends upon what DT is looking for....someone young that he can shape and mold or someone who thinks he is ALL THAT and then some. DT doesn't need to hire someone that would give him a sexual harrassment charge somewhere down the road. Sean needs to separate business from pleasure!

Lee might just grovel to DT enough for DT to hire him. He may want a "yes" man and one who can be a "politician".

All the "honey, sweetie, baby" crap is annoying. OK sure, they have a thing for each other. But keep it out of the job. Even if they were a married couple, its very unprofessional to talk like that in the workplace, especially in front of co-workers.

Tammy's lack of compassion was painful to see. But I wonder if Andrea had shown signs of hypochondria or anything when previously living in the suite? That would be the only reason I could think of that someone would be so non-chalant when someone tells them they're coughing up blood. That, or Tammy really is just a non-compassionate person.

I know Sean mentioned the coughing up "chunks of blood" but not sure if that's what Andrea told him, or he just got dramatic in his telling the tale in the confessional. At any rate, when blood is trying to clot, it can look like "chunks." I can remember some pretty scary looking stuff coming out of my nose back in those really bad nosebleed days.

With the severe nosebleeds I'd have, there's no way I could have taken the tissue away from my nose long enough to hug people goodbye and stuff as I was leaving the suite. I'd have been bleeding all over everyone.

It could still be something more than a nosebleed. But I can't think of anything that would make a person bleed so suddenly from the mouth and nose at the same time, unless it was some sort of hemorrhagic fever thing. If so, they should have been hauling her off in an ambulance and quarantining the hotel! But then again, I'm not an expert in the medical field at all.

It would have been nice to see someone walking out with Andrea. I can see why Sean couldn't send anyone, or accompany her himself, since he'd then be down 2 people. Hopefully he was already told that she'd be accompanied by a production/crew member. Hard to believe anyone would send a bleeding person off by themselves to go see a doctor.

Auntiemike, I think this is why so many people voted Lee's team as the wiser choice. They remembered Andrea as the control freak who got on everyone's nerves, and Tarek as the overrated Mensa member who rarely shined. And then there's Tammy, who would have been a good choice for anyone else, but for Sean she may end up being his Achilles heel. They probably expected a lot of fighting.

Sean needed to decide if he wanted to win the job or the girlfriend, instead of trying to get both simultaneously and splitting his focus. While Trump likes to play up the little romances on the show, it really isn't a dating game. I felt bad for Tarek and Andrea having to work in that environment. It must've felt like being dragged along on someone else's date. The Pontiac guy probably thought Andrea was the PM since Sean was too busy watching Tammy work to meet with him directly.

I think when they say Lee is a politician they mean he's always trying to stay in good standing with everyone. He's good at schmoozing, but that's about it.

I'm just curious as to how upscale that woman expects Lee's fundraiser to be considering it's being held at a hockey game. She just came off as quite snippy for someone looking to get free money. What happened to beggars can't be choosers?

Curlyq-- I agree with you! I am rooting for Sean but he really needs to be thinking with his head, if you get my drift!

Lee is just too young, and seems completely out of his depth. He's gotten by so far by being a good talker, sitting out two of the challenges, and definitely has some moxie.

And given that this IS Mark Burnett's show, the editing is brilliant - I;'m completely confused as to who might win! :-)

Heyya came here to see what you guys were saying about this, and also if I missed anything major as I got a call the first 20 min--note to self, keep tape handy during finale's. Which, btw, this is the first of a 2 or likely 3 part (sounded like there would be a follow up after that vote).

My take so far is that they showed us far less of what was actually going on then in the past, so it was hard to get an idea of what exactly they were doing. And I was dying to know how many days they had to do this. Dunno if I missed that info or they never said.

Seemed to me Sean is in a luxury situation surrounded by many nameless support people all doing whatever he wants, (in addition to his team) but Lee seems to be in a VFW hall surrounded by hardly anyone except that charity shrew women ranting maniacally. I have done charity events and if I ever met anyone that crude and unprofessional I would ask for her boss and refuse to deal with her. But if you notice she said SHE has run it for I think it was 5 years. Which made me wonder if he is taking over her role, and she wants to prove no one can do as good or better than her? I felt bad for Lee.

Now granted he seemed in SO far over his head and SO inept it just didn't seem right to me. I felt like it was typical Big Brother editing where we relax about who's being voted off because it's slanted the other way. We'll see.

My take on the final 2 FWIW. Lee, although young, so far has also shown some great promise and big ideas. Sean, while super slick, smooth and charming always seems to slide through, but if he has done it with anything brilliant I don't recall. Mostly I think it's been his accent, persona and dress. Great for a hotel manager but not so sure bout this role. Then again do the apprentii do anything but PR and TV appearances?

Last thought, ironic to me how last years winner, who's name I can't even recall but can see his face, has never once been seen or heard from again after his meanspirited choice to not hire the women. Wonder if he will be at grand finale?

As difficult as that charity woman was, if her boss is Denis Leary I'm not sure who it would be easier to be deal with. He never struck me as the patient type. She did say she had run the fundraisers in the past, but if Lee wasn't such a politician he might've asked her if she'd ever done it with only a few days' notice.

Last year's winner was Randall, and I still say there was nothing wrong with his response when asked to share his hard-earned reward with the woman who had never won a single task as PM except for the one where the two of them had worked side-by-side. I don't think he had a mean-spirited bone in his body. I always felt Trump slapped him in the face with the suggestion of hiring his little crush who had never shown any talent for anything but the overuse of the phrase "step up." What an insult that was. Since Randall spent so much time working with her, his inability to recommend her for hiring suggests she was even less competent than what was shown.

I was expecting the woman from Denis Leary's foundation to explain to Lee's team what has been done in the past 5 years and then ask to meet with them again later to see what new things they came up with to add to that. Instead, she just them flack with next to no information to go on.

Not to defend Lee as I think he's been in over his head since day one but that lady was no help at all. Lurk may be onto something in that she felt her toes were being stepped on by Trump and Co.

As for Sean - anyone else think she'd rather Sean saved his public displays of affection for AFTER the show if even then? I think she senses how the others feel about it and would like it cooled - at least from the editing.

Outside of Bill ~ I don't think I can name a single other winner from past years - was it Ronald last year?

Worked years in Emerg. Coughing up blood is not that uncommon.

I figure that Andrea must have been coughing and the others aware of what was going on. I know I wouldnt be that concerned.

However, it is possible that Andrea had pneumonia. There is a common bacteria, Strep pneumoniae, which can turn your sputum a dark rust colour. Some people think they are spitting up blood.

Hopefully it wont be TB!! That still shows up now and again...even young healthy people.

Coughing up blood is a major symptom.

I'll freak out if Lee wins. I just cant see it.

Lee has Lenny!!! Yes, the "I don't understand English so good" who has covered Lee's back with his accent and phrases like something out of a 1940s mobster movie. Asked for Lenny choices I think Lee heard "no good" "don't trust em" "she is fake" "he knows nothing" and only Lenny acted a godfather to Lee. His final crack: oh we bury them so deep, not found 20 years, no problem! was over the top... Lenny insisted Pep was a great guy, no threat at all? You have to wonder if old Lenny's not working a deal with Lee: hey, I wash your back hired, you get me staff job, very good business, I got your back if you wash mine, my good friend!
Never saw Lee or Sean do much besides posture and yeah, Lee did miss 2 challenges per his religion but DT couldn't face discrimmination, that has to be the only way Lee hung on to now show he isn't a Trump asset whether he attends temple or not? He's a kid, if Lenny and Pep help him win, is DT more cozy with bankruptcy or what... Sean, he'd chosen his darling Tammy, aw, if DT hires him it looks like a 2 for 1 deal? He must have seen a Rob & Amber a la Survivor ratings hope. I think Apprentice won't return... IF we're lucky!!!

Editing probably omitted any concern Tammy had for Andrea. Much better idea to create the buzz we see here.

For all we know Andrea was a part of the conversation about picking something up on her way back. Much ado about nothing, I say. She had a small vessel break in her nose due to lack of make up and lank hair. We all know this happens. Ever skip blush for a day? All hell breaks loose.

Oh Fruitbat you crack me up!

A couple of weeks ago I had a bad cold and a lot of coughing and I coughed up blood a couple of times but figured it was from the cold / coughing! I didn't even go to the dr. about it.

Randal was last season's winner and he is currently working at Trump's Atlantic City casino's and is also working on the Newark Mayor's transition team. He's doing just fine, in spite of all the Randal bashing.

I've mentioned this before but I guess it is worth repeating. I think the reason that Randal has not appeared this season is purely based on timing. The show is taped well in advance. At the time of the taping, Randal's Apprentice win had not even been announced so they couldn't very well have him appear as the previous season's winner.

I never hear Randal bashing. Actually, he was one of my favorite of the Apprentices. I understand he is working with Corey Booker, who I also like a lot (even though I don't live in New Jersey)
