Anybody watch the Apprentice?

[Orangepeel]

how about that Tana trainwreck?

[Piperay]

1. Yeah, I was a Tana fan

till that last show. I thought it was awful the way she treated her team, calling them names etc. then blaming them for stuff she should have double checked. I think Kendra worked well with a team that was difficult and I think that will really count with Trump.

[peekaloo]

2. Kendra won it the week of the Pontiac promo, imho.

That was also the beginning of the end for Tana.

[Orangepeel]

3. she was edited so favorably until that episode...

then the bailing on the task, then the bedazzler... but that total meltdown? Wow! That's some interesting television

[soleft]

4. Orangepeel - did I see you posting on an Apprentice forum

Might have been TV without Pity, but I don't remember. Just saw Orangepeel and wondered if it was you.

I've been a Kendra fan since week 7 - when she came up with the exclusive marketing deal for the mini golf course - I was really impressed. I had never seen an contestant make such a smart business move like that.

Most contestents seem to muddle along trying to fufill the requirements of the task - and all along she's been applying smart and creative business strategy and usually supplying the factor that accounts for the win.

I thought Tana's best moment was whens he kept her cool during the wearable Tech episode - but the more I saw how she was bonding the Craig, the more I started to get really turned off.

I loved every moment of her meltdown - and it seems like everyone on the Apprentice boards who was on the Tana train have woken up and crossed over from the dark side.

Now why can't the same thing happen with Bush?

[Orangepeel]

6. yep, that was me. I just signed up for TWoP

I'm becoming a discussion board junkie!

I liked Tana -- thought she was great -- until the Pontiac deal. Then, I noticed Kendra, almost for the first time, and realized that she had done some pretty clever things (like the golf deal) before.

I was thinking the same thing about bush! Fahrenheit 911 should have done to him what this episode of the Apprentice did to Tana.

7. have you watched any of the extra footage on the Yahoo site

it's really funny watching George and the editors trying to make a big deal out of the Danny meeting mishap - otherwise it looks like Kendra planned her event like she's been an event planner for years.

Trump was embarrassed by Tana - there's just no way in hell he could ever hire her and not make a complete fool of himself. If Kendra pulled an ax and starting threatening the lives of everyone in the live auditorium - he still couldn't hire Tana.

It just makes you curious as to how the final hour will go.

[Orangepeel]

8. I hope they show more footage this week

I'd like to see more of Kendra's. I know it won't compare to Tana's fiasco for sheer entertainment value, but I think it would be interesting.

5. I've never understood why everyone thought Tana was so nice

I grew up in the Midwest and all the "Midwest" or "Minnesota" nice. I found her so fake from day one. Not that I didn't like her, but she didn't seem genuine at all to me.

The thing that really turned me off (not against her) was when the interviewers said she was good but she was from Iowa. I'm sorry, because someone didn't grow up in a fast-paced city automatically makes them less of a candidate?

[Orangepeel]

9. people from Iowa should be insulted

I think "from Iowa," just like "nice," was code for "unprofessional."

[SharonRB]

12. I've never liked her

But not because she's from Iowa. I think she's mean spirited and too cocky. Kendra has been successful in a very quiet way and has shown that she has the abilities -- she rocked on the Pontiac task and did a great job on the last event. She's got to win.

10. No, I do not watch it

And I hope it, and all the other "reality" shows are permanenly cancelled, and their producers blacklisted for life!

[Qanisqineq]

11. *GASP!*

Damn you to hell for even thinking such a thing! :)

Ok, all of them can go -- except Survivor and The Amazing Race. That's just 2 hours a week. Deal?

[Piperay]

13. I heard that American Dreams

has officially been canceled :cry: I'm heartbroken. I watch 'reality' TV too but American Dreams was my all time favorite show. NBC doesn't have the guts to follow the story line as it progresses through the sixties, DAMN. :mad: :-(

[bluestateguy]

14. After the West Wing is done, I'm finished with NBC

15. There's one possible way for Trump to thwart expectations

At this time it's pretty much universally agreed that Trump would look like a fool if he hired Tana for many reasons, some of which include

The Bedazzler
Horrendous Team Leadership
Embarrassing Trump with Pataki
Ego run amok

But here's a twist they're throwing in which could affect the outcome. Trump is going to explain the two possible jobs and have each candidate say which one they'd choose before he makes the decision.

What if the jobs of choice of something really challenging versus some light PR thing, maybe even located somewhere in the midwest. Kendra picks the challenging job, Tana picks the light fluffy job, and Trump picks Tana because he think she's better suited for the job she picks.
