Could it be that the printer screwed up the name and that Clint actually submitted the correct copy?

This show looks like it's been fixed for Clint to win from the beginning. I'm just not sure why.

Aurora, no, the printer didn't screw up. The original images of the posters and place cards were made by the apprentice team on the computer to send to the printer, and those computer images all had the misspelled name on them.

I'm on team Clint, I find something a bit off with Brandy. But the miss-spelling is a big mistake. I'm thinking it everything can be reprinted in time.

Brandy got lucky with having Liza on her team. But Liza didn't follow instructions regarding getting the $1k gift certificates.

Liza did not follow instructions... but she was 100% right. I grew up in a golfing family. We have garages filled with putters, bags, drivers, paperweights -- all won at golf tournaments.

Stephanie so smugly asked? who drives up to one of these tournaments in their Rolls Royce needing a set of golf clubs? My answer is that they need a $500 gift certificate even less. At least when they have the club in hand, they get the ego boost as people watch them carry it into their Rolls Royce.

If she was supposed to get $1000 gift certificates, why didn't she buy $1000 golf clubs (instead of $500??)

I do think people, rich or average or whatever, do enjoy walking away with a big bulky prize more than a piece of paper that just gives them more work of having to to go out and shop. And who ever gets the gift certificate exact amount in their shopping? You always end up having to spend a little more out of your pocket in order to use up the whole gift certificate.

I was thinking a nice trophy or any sort of trinket that could be memorialized should have gone with the gift certificate. The kid in all of us still likes that blue ribbon. And with their budget it could have been something rather nice. I've been on prize committees for county sporting events and they have some really nice stuff available.

I am sure that she spent whatever funds she was given. It would make no sense for her to come home with funds. (I think editing made this a bit confusing)

Back to the printer mess-up for a moment ... agreed Clint screwed up big time.

However, any printer worth a hill of beans would have seen the misspelled name and contacted his client to double check the spelling...of course, perhaps Trump and his group may have instructed the printer to follow the instructions as given. But that is not the way it should happen in real life.

Just my little 2 .

My dad was in professional football all his life, and his leisure sport was golf. He was really good and after he retired from football, golf was his life!

Because he was in the NFL, it afforded him many opportunities to play in pro-am tournaments. Later in his life, he successfully organized many pro-am tournaments.

I think Liza made a mistake by purchasing the golf equipment as prizes. Most of these rich guys have the equipment they need. A set of really good clubs is thousands of dollars. Why would they want a $500 set?

My dad used to bring home these goodie bags from his tournaments that were filled with cell-phones, hand-held TV's, gift certs, Palm Pilots (when they were popular), Bose radios (yes, $500 plus) watches, Waterford crystal pieces, expensive pens....and all sorts of other good stuff. I remember we (siblings) used to line up and wait for him to pull out each gift and then fight over it, LOL! Those were some fun days for us!

I think the gift cert idea was much better, even if it was only $500. Then they could get something they need or want.

JMHO!!

Braveheart, that is so cool! My son is in HS FB with dreams of college and pro ball. Who did your dad play for?

I agree that the goody bag should have been filled with stuff like you mentioned not one golf set

Hi Pamy -

He played for LA Rams and Baltimore Colts (1950's), and coached for Steelers and Dolphins up until late 80's. The golf tourney's didn't start until he was coaching.

Good luck to your son. Three of my nephews had the same aspirations. One didn't make it, one is in high school and the other is in college now, so we'll see.

Honestly, when I watch football now, it seems such a brutal game! But it made for a fun life, growing up!

I think you are mixing the two things. I don't know what is in the goodie bags. Not sure they even specified.

The "cheap" golf sets were for prizes like longest drive, etc.

I love football!

i think that someone who has extra clubs that they've won at the tournament would LOVE to play the "big man" and give them to a family member or friend.

NO way should a gift certificate be the prize, its so 'office partyish' even tho for a much higher amount

I don't love FB -- especially when it messes up start times of Sunday evening programs . . . like TAR.

If the golf sets were for prizes like Gidget described and not for the winners, then Liza might have made the right decision--but she still should have called Brandy. I wouldn't want someone like her working for me--too many unpleasant surprises.

No. Gidget up thread said she loves FB. I'm just saying I don't (except for '85 Bears) and part of reason is because it often messes up start times of Sunday evening programs -- particularly TAR.

The Donald has something wrong in his head. He really thinks he's all that and a bag of chips because he build on what his father started. He's always saying his show is the highest rated when it never has been. He acts as if everything he's ever touched has turned to gold when he's had a lot of failures. If he is even thinking of running for President, he needs to get himself to a good psychiatrist and fast!

Donald needs to look in the mirror. He's not goodlooking; his hair is awful and his personality is tres boring. Without money, he probably couldn't even get a gal to date him. His overinflated ego is too much.

Lakecat, you're right. For some reason, these guys think money takes the place of personality and sometimes good manners.
