Original Air Date: 5/12/05
(PAGE 5 of 6)
Tana is already home by the time Kendra makes it back, still teary-eyed. Tana is barely able to contain her joy, thinking that Kendra has royally screwed up her task. Wrapping Kendra in a hug, she says gleefully, “There were so many times I almost cried.” Kendra is clearly thinking of ways to extract herself from this hug, without being rude, when Tana asks, ever so hopefully, what she’s crying about. Her face nearly falls when Kendra answers that it’s her team: “They were so great. And they did not have to be.”
While maintaining her grin, Tana exclaims, “Really? Oh that’s good. I didn’t have that experience.” Tana keeps her guard up until she can tell us, “I was hoping to hear, ‘Man, everything flopped up; it was a huge disaster.’ I felt like that was a bummer, because I felt that Kendra’s team was stronger than my team.” Sigh. And the death knoll tolls.
In the bathroom, Kendra pees, while Tana washes her face. They chat for a moment, at which point Tana announces that she’s going to bed. Before she makes it out, Kendra asks from the stall, “Who fought? Chris and Kristen and everybody?” Tana so blatantly ignores her and walks out, leaving Kendra still inside the stall calling, “Tana? Tana?” Hehe. Good one.
Blah blah, both women tell the camera why they’d be the best Apprentice. We’ll hear it all again later. Ooh, Kendra does get in one good zinger, “I don’t sell cosmetics. I buy and sell real estate.” Snotty. But then she devolves into her old dogfight metaphors, and I lose interest again.

Inside the boardroom, Trump pretends to put to rest the whole Book Smarts vs. Street Smarts duel. With one left from each team, “It just goes to show that in business, you have to be smart.” Let the games begin.
Trump questions Tana’s leadership skill. She claims, “My team was very hard to manage and control, and I would say, given the team that I had, I did a very good job.” Carolyn immediately brings up Tana's backstabbing attitude towards her team, what with her referring to them all the time as the “Three Stooges” and “Dumb and Dumber.” Which is totally mean, but wouldn’t you just love to see a Dumb and Dumber remake with Chris and Brian onboard? With Chris saying, “Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?” and then giggling really hard? Anyhoo, Tana explains, “I could not choose my team. They were given to me, and they were terrible.”
Carolyn also brings up the super-messed up brochure…and reads a bit out loud, which is just plain awesome. Apparently one of the athlete bios says, “Five medals, injured. Won’t swim but is great on camera.” Even Kendra looks horrified. Tana blames Kristen, and while, yes, proofreading it herself would have been the wise thing to do, how freakin’ dumb is Kristen? Trump then brings up the old, “Where was the American flag?” issue but lets it die down after Tana explains that she assumed the flag was in the box with the rest of the flags. Whatever.
Now it’s Kendra’s turn, but there’s really nothing bad to say about her. She talks about how well her team performed, and Trump agrees, “They loved you.” This makes Kendra tear up, and you can almost hear Tana rubbing her hands and saying “a-HA!” as she kindly hands Kendra a tissue, in a bid to make Kendra cry harder. Two people crying in the boardroom this season. Nice. Trump stops short of cuddling Kendra, but still soothes her, “You know what, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with crying.” Kendra takes full advantage of this moment by boasting, “I like to inspire people into action.” This fuels the desire to yell at her about something, so George shakes his head vehemently. Danny-singing-a-jingle-to-executives situation is discussed briefly, which she tries to smooth away and is ultimately successful in doing. Tana is all, “Damn.”
