The Apprentice, Week 17: The Live Finale at NYU Skirball Performing Arts Center
Original Air Date: 5/19/05
(PAGE 4 of 4)
Sigh. And so now comes the big drama, in a “wow, this is the suckiest drama I’ve ever seen in my life” way. Trump asks Kendra why she let her whole team take credit for the Pontiac Solstice brochure when she did the whole thing herself. She recites yet another modestly horn-tootin’ response about being a good leader who keeps the controversy behind closed doors. Now Tana jumps in: “Well, unfortunately on that task, what you didn’t see was that I was the
reason that the Pontiac CEOs love the brochure.” And she gets booed! Booed I tell you. Oh, those poor Goertz kids.
As it turns out, Tana was the one to come up with the curved shape for the brochure. Utterly trapped, Kendra claims that she “always gives credit where credit is due” and admits it was, in fact, Tana’s idea. Tana goes berserk, only capable of speaking in exclamation points from here on out. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I knew it! That was the reason that they loved it! It was the shape, baby! Woo woo woo! [Insert enthusiastic Arsenio fist pump]. The shape was the reason that they loved it!”
The audience is cheering, not necessarily for Tana’s vindication, but because everything leading up to it has been so freaking boring. Even Trump is having a good time with this sudden, if terribly awkward and inappropriate, dog pound outburst. “Don’t get me started!” Tana shouts at him. Oh, but she is so, so finished. Trump, still amused, chastises Kendra, who defends herself in a slightly more flustered manner. “There were photographs; there were colors; there was writing!” Yeah! Writing! Woo woo woo!

And now onto the truly nitty gritty. I mean, the blahbiddy blahbiddy. Yes, yes, we know. One million people applied, and these two women are left. This mind-numbing mantra could take on a whole new meaning if we just said it like, “One million people applied and these two women are left?”
Yeah, so did anyone miss the fact that Tana mistreated her team, but she was great up until then, and that Kendra flew under the radar for weeks but shined at the end? Anyone? Cuz I’m sure someone will happily tell you again.
Hey, guys, guess what? Kendra’s hired!
And Tana is SO not happy. Hehehe. She can’t even crack a smile, even as she hugs Kendra in a “If I squeeze hard enough, maybe she’ll snap in half and I’ll totally run the Miss Universe pageant” kind of way.
Trump gives Kendra a kissy face as he shakes her hand. Carolyn looks genuinely happy. Kendra gets a new Pontiac Solstice, but first Trump has a few words about some really important Apprentice-related thingamajiggies, and, hey… where’s Kendra going? She’s just wandering away… Kendra? Kendra?
