OMG!! The Apprentice

I cannot believe the FemBot made it to the final two!

Me either - I think it was a ratings decision. I thought both guys deserved to be in the final two.

Exactly. Since it was 2 guys the last time, they probably wanted to spice things up a bit.

I agree - they'd clearly already met their African-American quota by having Kwame in it last year, and they knew they'd catch flack for not meeting their female quota this year, so they had to let Jen in (because clearly Sandy was never gonna get to the final two). It should have been Kevin & Kelly. I was hoping when the two women started their cat fight in the board room that Trump was going to yell, "You're both fired! Get Kevin the hell back here."

<sigh>

Looks like the finale will be good. I can't even fathom the possibility that Kelly won't win and have vowed to forever boycott Trump if he doesn't.

I couldn't believe Jen got in. She was a flake all along. I don't understand how Trump let those two women scream at each other and everybody else and get away with it. I also don't understand how the people Kelly selected to help can be so negative. He might be in trouble if Jen weren't screwing up all by herself!

[HUNGRY!]

I know; I'm mad at Trump (like he cares). I actually liked Sandy. Jen on the other hand, should have been fired a long time ago. I don't like Kelly either. I felt like he hogged the PM spot to get immunity or whatever its called. All in all I thought it was a sorry group compared to last year.

[MISSINDI]

Haven't seen it yet -- it's down to Kelly and Jen? I'm surprised Kevin didn't make it. For both Kelly and Jen ... they just seemed to be flying a little TOO low under the radar the entire time. I can't really see either of them running a company.

THAT is exactly what I was thinking! :D

I had a feeling it would be a man and a woman at the end. I thought it would be Kevin and Jen, even though I like Kelly too.

Couldn't agree with you more.

[NewMrsG]

Ugh.

I can't tolerate the girly bickering that Jen and Sandy get into in the boardroom - just reinforces the idea that woman can't be professional or even let other people speak without being interrrupted. I cringed through the whole thing.

And Jen just doesn't impress me at all - yes, she's well-educated, but it sounded as though she was trying to make the case that she was a better candidate than Sandy just because she "flew across the country" to go to school. :rolleyes:

Oy.

lol! Oh my gosh, that is too funny! :D

I agree though, I am extremely disappointed that Jen is one if the final two. She is flakey, unproductive, and somehow manages to skate past boardroom manipulation despite the fact that she never really does that much during the projects. Not to mention she is incredibly rude and unprofessional! All of that yelling and attacking in the boardroom?! Craziness, that will never fly in the "real" business world.

I was thinking the same thing too. Kelly winning?? I can't imagine it. I was cracking up at the cat fight because last week they got along so well as the bimbo candy sisters. :rolleyes:

I don't like Jen either and I agree with all of you that the women bickering in the board room is beyond nauseating. It doesn't say much for women in business, does it? I run my own company - I have one partner. My partner has the business degree, the MBA, but I feel I bring more creativity to the business (short run publishing). I think Sandy had a lot of creativity. She was blasted for the restaurant she decorated when they did that task, but I thought she did a great job. She also did a great job with the bridal task and the candy task. It's not ALL about education and I felt that a lot of people felt she wasn't educated enough to go farther. Tell that to Bill Gates. I wanted Sandy to win.

Now I guess I want Kelly. One person said that he was in the military so he knows how to both take and give orders. I think that is a bonus for him. Jen seems ditzy to me.

[aggie94]

I don't disagree that Sandy was creative (at least more creative than Jen), but she sealed her own fate when she couldn't answer Trump's question about how many employees he has. I'm sure it become totally apparent during the interviews that she has no corporate experience whatsoever. I wondered if she had ever even BEEN on an interview like that. As much as I detested Jen, she did a great job of selling herself over Sandy by going on about how much she knew about Trump and his companies. You never go on a job interview without researching the person you're interviewing with and the company you're interviewing for first, so the fact that Sandy went onto the show wanting the job of running one of Trump's companies without knowing a thing about him or his businesses was a huge mistake.

I also agree that Jen's examples of how "risky" she is were completely lame. It's risky to go to Princeton and then Harvard and then move all the way to San Francisco??? :eek: :rolleyes: Please.

Yeesh, I hate them both. GO KELLY!!! :D

I haven't watched this show, but www.snarkywood.com has funny comments about the male participants on the current show. They are posting female reviews soon. :)

[AndreaU]

Ditto many of the sentiments above.

I thought that Kelly and Kevin would make it but then I realized it was an all-male final last year... I would have liked to have seen Sandy make it to the final 2 but knew Trump would favor the "Fembot" Jennifer. (LOVE that nickname!)

BTW, who else was cracking up when Kelly's "employees" were sprinting down the polo field?! Working really hard, eh?
