The Apprentice 3: Book Smarts vs. Street Smarts

[BRER STITCH]

I thought Alex should have been fired, too!

Angie was terrible during the presentation, but she also did the bulk of everything else!

Chris is just scary! Can you imagine having to work with him every day?!?!?!?!?!

I like Tana. Aside from being capable and talented, I think Trump is under the gun to select a female apprentice this time!

Should be an interesting finish to the season!

:sohappy:

 

[Wckd Queen]

:animwink: Wow, I didn't even know he needed a credit card :animwink:

Guh...sometimes its like I have rented fingers :lol:

 

[Atta83]

I thought Chris was working on this..... I guess hes not going to work for the Donald.
He got a nice little temper off of a bar tab of $20. So he wouldnt calm down and the police arrested him.....that temper of his...

 

[BRER STITCH]

Why am I NOT surprised by this????
Keep that hot-head away from any Bell Towers in your neighborhood!!!

'Apprentice' Contestant Arrested
Shelton Charged With Disorderly Conduct


TAMPA, Fla. (April 11) - Real estate millionaire Chris Shelton, a contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice," was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge.

Shelton, 22, one of six remaining contestants competing for a job with Donald Trump, was taken into custody early Sunday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. He was released after posting $250 bail.

A tribal police officer said he heard a noisy Shelton in the hotel lobby and asked him twice to calm down before arresting him, said Seminole police spokesman Gary Bitner.

"He was loud and he just wouldn't calm down," Bitner said.

Shelton was peeved over a $20 cover charge for the hotel bar. Shelton "was at the lobby causing a scene," the police report said. "There were several patrons in the area who were visibly shaken by his actions. After several attempts to calm Shelton, he continued to yell and curse, refusing to calm down and stop causing a scene."

Shelton and some friends were staying at the hotel and celebrating his continued success on "The Apprentice," Bitner said.

"We don't really have any comment," NBC spokesman Jim Dowd said. "This is clearly a private matter with Chris." All but the final episode has been taped, and it isn't known if Shelton makes it that far.

 

[nicholas]

Well, IF he is in the final two (hahahhaa) that pretty much seals his fate on not getting it.

 

[longfamily]

I was wondering about that too. Could he have been out celebrating what was aired this week? Or was he celebrating getting into the top two? In the words of "The Donald" this guy is a disaster. I can't imagine that he would make it past the next two episodes.

FUNNIEST APPRENTICE SCENE EVER:

Last night - Chris bawling like a little baby when He FINALLY got the boot!

:lol: :sohappy: :lol: :sohappy: :lol: :sohappy:

 

[Wckd Queen]

Trump must like Chris, though, because as a noted germ~o~phobe, he actually gave Chris the two~handed hand shake!

What we probably didnt see was Trump slathering on the Purell after Chris left :lookaroun :lol:

 

[GenerationX]

Finally, Trumpy sends Chris packing. It was inevitable. With that need satisfied, I now turn my attention to Alex, the Useless. Hey, Alex, I think you got enough pictures of the hot chicks, how about some of the car? Doofus.

I've had Kendra as my favorite to win since the mini-golf task when she had the idea of arranging for exclusive marketing with the local merchants. She needs to keep her ego in check, but she clearly has some talent.

 

[Coree]

You know, for a while I really liked Alex and Tana. However, after the last couple of weeks I don't like either of them any more. In fact, Kendra and Bren are the only ones that I can even remotely like and it's hard to envision either of them as Trump's apprentice. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks.

 

[Atta83]

Was it me or was Tana trying to take all the credit last night???

 

[Wckd Queen]

Was it me or was Tana trying to take all the credit last night???

Sure looked that way. I have been rooting for Tana, but that kind of tweeked me the wrong way (basically because I have been in Kendras position and have had that exact thing happen to me!) While I didnt necessarily agree with how Kendra was running things (there really was no need for all of them to pick the photos. Craig could have been working on the ad copy) I dont think it was Tanas place to try to make a presentation on something she wasnt all that familiar with.

And Alex...why was there time for pictures of girls but not of the vehicle logo??

 

[longfamily]

It's nice that Chris got fired. I couldn't see him running a fortune 500.

And did kendra shine last night or what!!!! How cool that she made that brouchure all alone and that Pontiac is actually going to use it. Shame on Tana and Craig for stiffing her like that. If Kendra doesn't get hired atleast she will have alot of job offers. That girl is really good at what she does. Any marketing firm would love to have her.

What was up with Tana? It almost seemed as if A) she was trying to contribute in some way since she couldn't hack the all nighter, or B) She didn't trust that Kendra could do a good enough presentation. Either way, Kendra should have recieved some on air kudo's for her ablity to go the distance with or without her team and her team should have recieved some negative feedback for abandoning her to the task.

Alex is a snake. He needs to go. he has always been on a winning team because of the team not him. The last two tasks have shown his true colors. He is a deligator not a go getter.

Poor Bren. Why would you have a lawyer do your creative writing? Becuase he knows big words? Lawyers never use the KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid) in their daily life and that is what Bren is familiar with. He did a terrific job as far as putting out information. But come on

 

[GenerationX]

As the Project Manager, Kendra should have decided who would be doing what at the presentation. One of three things must have happened:

1. Kendra said "I'm doing the presentation", in which case Tana should have kept quiet; or
2. Kendra and Tana agreed to do the presentation together, in which case Kendra should have been more specific with duties; or
3. They never discussed who would do the presentation, which is completely Kendra's fault.

I'm thinking it was #2: Kendra didn't clearly delineate who would do what. Given an ambiguous breakdown in responsibilities, Tana, who is a natural born presenter, probably just launched into sell mode. I like Kendra, and I can understand her pride of authorship and her disgust with Tana and Craig for falling asleep on the job. However, Trump can check with George and Carolyn or watch the tapes to see Kendra's actual contributions to the effort. She didn't need to take sole credit for the idea in front of the GM people.

 

[TheOneVader]

I definately hope Kendra wins. I cann't see Alex, Craig, or Tana being his apprentice. Bren I can sort of see, but Kendra I think is the best for the job.

 

[pluto77]

I'm rooting for Kendra now! I used to sort of like Tana, but after last night, NO! Tana and Craig complelely went against what Trump was explaining in the beginning of the show about staying up 24 or 48 hours if you have to (maybe they learn there lesson if them sleeping comes back to backfire on them). I can't believe Tana and Craig had no faith in Kendra. I think Craig should be fired next, he's annoyed me since the beginning. Then Alex after him because I think the past couple weeks have shown that he's not as good as he seems.

 

[pluto77]

Today's Apprentice was kind of boring. :lol: I was kind of hoping Magna Corp would lose since Kendra was exempt I think Craig would have fired for sure and that would have made me a happy camper. He's annoyed me since the beginning of the season. What is the reason he doesn't have any faith in Kendra? Did he forget the SHE'S the one who came up with the awesome pontiac design NO THANKS TO CRAIG who didn't have any faith in her idea. I had the impression Bren wanted to get fired in the board room. He was really quiet, and the things he said were kind of dumb to say (like admitting he wasn't a risk taker when the subject wasn't even brought up), and then after the show he said that he didn't really want the job anymore.

 

[longfamily]

It seemed to us that Bren opted out to save Alex. There were so many things that he could have said to get Alex fired but I have a feeling that he understood that Alex wanted it more so he gave him the chance.

Alex has shown that he is incredibly cold and calculating, I hope he doesn't win.

I was hoping Magna would lose too. Criag needs to go. In the beginning of the show Trump narrarates the synopsis of the previous show, obviously he knows that Kendra did the brouchure project alone. I would think he would be very impressed by her ethic if nothing else and be quite dissappointed in both Craig and Tana. With that knowledge, I can't see that either would become the apprentice. Although, Tana is talented. She is also a manipulator and I think she has the best chance to win at this point in the game. Kendra has shown the most potential of them all. If this doesn't work out for he, she will have offers from all over. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump didn't hire her (on the side) anyway for marketing.

 

[BRER STITCH]

Yeah....it really did apear that Brenn had enough of the Apprentice and wanted to go back home.

For a lawyer and pretty intelligent guy, he did no defending of himself.

I'm betting he did the show for the publicity and had no intention of dragging his family to wherever it was that Trump is going to assign the winner to work.

Out of nowhere, the only choice left, really, is Kendra! :veryconfu

* Alex is lazy and has little creativity and people skills.
* Craig needs to get back to shoe shining. He appears woefully out of his element and shows it with his lack of professionalism.
* Tana was an early favorite, but she, too, appears to be getting lazy and tired of the whole thing. In Trump's organization, she would be a wild card and difficult to fit in. I still like her, but she seems much less a proper fit for Trump than before.

:king:

 

[GenerationX]

Agree with all that Bren essentially quit. I don't understand why The Hair has always been so complimentary to Alex; I haven't seen him doing anything of value the entire series. He didn't even meet with the Staples execs! And the desk thing he designed? Horrible. Why would anyone want to lift a glass cover to get to their Inbox?

My favorite to win for a long time has been Kendra, and I think she's pretty much a lock at this point. She's clearly smart, determined, and talented. She has had the most positive edit. The Hair can't hire someone who has looked like a doofus throughout the show. Tana is only her competition.

Oh, and Craig: I'm confident that Kendra knows the meaning of the word "condescending". I'm not as confident you do.
