The Apprentice, Week 17: The Live Finale at NYU Skirball Performing Arts Center
Original Air Date: 5/19/05
(PAGE 3 of 4)
In another shocking twist, Trump reveals the two job choices before choosing the winner. I’m still reeling. So we’ve got picking a city to host the Miss Universe pageant or renovating a mansion in Palm Beach. Not exactly a billion-dollar enterprise, but hey, it’s good enough for girls! And of course our contestants are…a Mary Kay saleswoman and a real estate agent from Florida. Well, I suppose we’re all a little tired of those shocking twists, even though Trump feigns surprise at their respective choices.
I really do wish there were more interviews with the fired candidates. I’d so much prefer to hear what Audrey Evans or Craig Williams has to say, but I get the sense that Trump just really wants to go home and have sex with his wife. Only Chris gets to speak, and he remains all wishy-washy: “I think that Tana is a good leader; she has an incredible personality. But after watching the show, I was a bit disappointed by her lack of loyalty and integrity to her team.” Trump isn’t even paying attention anymore. “Were you disappointed or excited?” Um. Didn’t Chris just say he was disappointed?
Blah blah, some unintentional sexual innuendo from Chris as he pontificates about Kendra. “Outside of the show, I’ve been involved with some things that we’re potentially going to be doing together.” Everyone oohs and giggles—but personally, I have to go do some crunches or something because I’m wicked bored.
Ok, for the record, I will always think that Carolyn Kepcher is a lovely woman, but I have to say, her hair has been bleached to solar proportions. There really is such a thing as “too blonde.” In her opinion? Tana was mean to her team in the last task, but she absolutely rocked up until then; Kendra rocked the final task, but stepped up really late in the game to be project manager. No redundancy on this
show, no siree.

So Kendra’s support party is in New York City, while Tana’s is in Iowa. ‘nuff said.
George Ross gets called on to speak, and the entire audience is all, “awww.” We love George, we really do. And what wisdom can George impart on us? Tana treated her team members badly, but she was really good up until then. Sigh. Actually, George adds a teensy bit of life into his comments by claiming that he has “never seen anyone who comes up with more brilliant ideas and raw enthusiasm in [his] life.” Well, color Tana pink! And Kendra? She “stayed under the radar for a long time,” to which Tana settles back into her chair with a smack-worthy smug look on her face. Too bad her triumph can’t last, as Kendra is then also deemed “brilliant.” She’s brilliant. Tana’s brilliant. Hell, I’m brilliant. Let’s all be brilliant together!
Oh, for the love of God. Trump, now at a complete loss for anything remotely interesting or innovative to say, brings up the freaking college education thing again. Did we not let this topic die in like week 8? 10? 29? And once and for all, an undergraduate degree from the University of Florida is not “highly” educated! Okay? There, I said it. Let the hate mail roll in. Kendra spouts off another bit of meaningless blather: “Education is learning from other people’s mistakes—and experience, learning from your own.” Tana isn’t nearly as articulate and stumbles over her defensiveness: “I would say, yes, it looks like a disadvantage…But I do have a college education. I’m just 28 credits short…I would say I’m at a disadvantage from a paper perspective.” I’m sure she rehearsed this speech at home in the mirror, but it comes out all different now.
