I think Clint should send his kilt to the dry cleaner and blow out his bag pipes.

I could see Clint's disappointment when he heard the news--he looked crushed! When Brandy went on about the next generation and working with the Trump kids, I thought for sure she had lost it, because what rich ego maniac wants to think that there is anything after he is gone worth working for! I was kind of hoping he would hire both of them. I heard that this is the probably the last Apprentice with regualr folks in it!

I agree, but not exactly for that reason. I heard her saying so to speak, "Mr. Trump, you're getting old. You're out of the loop on what's happening today."

That's what I heard, too, Color. However, I'm guessing that they were given a list of jobs to choose from, since past apprentices have been given a choice. If the suggestion to work with the next generation came from Trump, he wouldn't be miffed.

I haven't got to watch yet but I am not surprised Brandy got the job. She took every opportunity to pump up The Donald's ego and stroke him whenever possible. She played a totally different game from Clint. One only a female could play and the ego driven Donald jumped on the bait.

...perhaps Trump and his group may have instructed the printer to follow the instructions as given. I wonder if Trump sets up things like this, as a test to see how they deal with last-minute crisis (plural of crisis - crises? crisises? LOL!) You know, like when Ramsey gives his little tests at the pass to see how they deal with it. I suppose it's not true in this case, since it was Clint that had both the mis-spelled items and also the caterer quitting. I also would be interested to hear anything on Clint. I wonder if he too, is working somewhere in the Trump Organization. We didn't get a little wrap-up of him, no Rockport moment... Trump seemed to like him all the way thru the season until the last minute. I think it was either Ivanka pointing out Clint's overuse of "ya`all" or Brandy's sucking up to the "next generation". Either way, the finale seemed to be a letdown. I guess after the celebrity shows, with the live audience and us "in" the boardroom live and all that fanfare, it just seemed not very exciting.

I watch some shows and miss alot too...but I did see enough to 'drop my jaw' when he chose the gal over Clint....Im all for the woman winning...but geeze, Clint did a awesome job and he should have won.... Did Trumps budget go way down cause the end was really a snooze.... Maybe it shows that people are not as intrested as befor....who knows...but it was a really bad ending.... And what the heck was wrong with Clints 'way of talking'....Hes a Texas boy, I did not get it...So Trump does not like people that have verbal roots or what ever you call it.... I would feel alot more comfortable around Clint if I had to work with him cause I felt like he was a people person and could work with all types of folks..... Yep, disappointed big time....

I was disappointed, too. But, I had myself mentally prepared because I had a gut feeling he was going to choose Brandy. I wasn't as surprised as some of you. I also, am all for women winning. I just thought Clint did far more throughout the entire season than Brandy did.

So in the last task, Brandy did absolutely nothing except tell Leeza to make the decisions. Leeza did, they won, and Leeza was fired. Who didn't see this coming? Donald made his choice a few tasks ago if not sooner. So of course in the finale, when Brandy screws up the reception, screws up Donald's foursome, and okays the purchase of sucky prizes that the winners didn't even take with them; and the ONLY criticism of Clint is that he said y'all too much - and Brandy wins. Ridiculous. The worst part is all thru the finale, they basically show an unenergetic, emotionally flat Brandy practically conceding the win to Clint over and over. And Clint is full of enthusiasm, energy and excitement and gets canned. Doubly ridiculous.

the ONLY criticism of Clint is that he said y'all too much Wasn't that Steuarts point when it was between the two of them. Ivanka said, and Donald agreed, that not all of Trumps businesses were in NY Clint may fit in well at a different location... Maybe he should have kept Steuart.. I think Steuart was better than Brandy.

Is it typical for Trump to say "Xxxx (Clint), you're fired," as opposed to Yyyy (Brandy), you're hired"??? I swear he used to just say a "you're hired" and not a final "you're fired."

Disclaimer – I haven't seen the show yet. However, Clint did screw up massively with respect to the printer. Wasn't that enough to tilt it to Brandy's favor?

Jimmer, that was a cliffhanger from last week. Then this week Clint arranged for it to be fixed before the posters/cards were displayed.

Yes, everything was fixed before the dinner, and as far as we know from the show, Donald didn't even know there was an error. It wasn't brought up in the boardroom at all. They did talk about what a wonderful job he did, and how he managed to get dinner to 500 people in only 40 minutes; and how beautifully things were decorated. In fact, all they had was praise for him, except for the 'y'all' thing. I will say that many of the helpers, when pressed by Donald, did say they would choose Brandy over Clint, altho I sure couldn't see why.

Thanks everyone. I very rarely agree with Trump's choice. I guess they want his decision to be a cliffhanger and a surprise but I'm surprised they don't make his reasoning clearer in the editing of the show. LOL - Unless he has no reasoning.

Julieboo, I was surprised when he fired Clint, too. The way I remember it is the same as you--Trump just tells the winner, "You're hired."

I really didn't understand why there was no follow up. He hired Brandy and then chased them out. Clint was so shocked he didn't even stop to shake hands or thank them for the opportunity. There was no cab ride interview, no Rockport Next Steps. It was very harsh.

Very interesting, Happygal, but I'd think if they taped the ending previously, they could have edited it much better. It still doesn't explain why he "fired" Clint.

LOL - Well at least they've got big spenders for advertisers among the viewers that do watch. More rich people watch The Apprentice than any other show, except The Office, 30 Rock The Apprentice isn’t really popular at all among most viewers, but it’s the third-most popular show among people who make more than $100,000 a year. Since this season focuses on people impacted by the recession, maybe we can extrapolate that rich people like to watch Donald Trump fire already fired people again? Or maybe they just like good television .... http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/ the_apprentice_7/2010_Dec_06_rich_viewers

They enjoy firing people and watching people being fired. This season was just perfect for them--kicking people when they're down--yippee.
