My first guess are the two that won't make it this far: Katrina and Kwame.That having been said, I think Troy is on shaky ground unless he pulls a spectacular win for his team in the next couple of weeks. Regarding Bill - of the remaining candidates, he seems to be way too stressed while he is in the leadership role (both Celebrity Auction and last night), but no other visible liabilities. So my picks are Amy, Nick, and Bill.

1. Troy 2. Amy 3. NickBill seemed undecisive and willing to take a beating last night. Kwame got a free ride from Troy... again. It's called payback. Katrina is going to partially fill the huge void left by Omarosa or Tammy.

Amy, Nick and Troy. No question about it, Amy wiped the floor with EVERYBODY last night. She didn't just succeed within the skewed parameters of the competition, she scored big time by anybody's standards. It was obvious that even old George was impressed with her, as was Trump. I mean, not only did she come up with the advertising idea, she then executed the plan brilliantly by simply calling up and reaching out to the contacts she's made just during these past few weeks. That was awesome. And even though they didn't show it, you know that in addition to the airplane company that she must have called up Donny Deutch for help with the actual ad posters. It was a genuine "Trump-like" performance and they all know it. Ol' Troy knew it the minute he saw that pedicab with the ads on it. At this point, I think that Donald and his assistants are comparing everybody else to Amy - which is bad news for the other contestants. Katrina is hip to it, you can count on that. Amy is everything that Katrina would like to be - but isn't.

LAST EDITED ON 03-13-04 AT 10:07 AM (EST)I'll guess... Bill-- as the winner (editing makes us think it is going to be Amy so that is why I pick Bill) Amy --obvious- even if she screws up royally next time she will stay in Kwame- I'd like to put Troy here because he seems to always remedy a bad situation and his enthusiasm is great. I loved the way we would calm down Sam. BUT Kwame is flying so far under the radar that I think he could even (gasp) win the thing. Kind of in Tina from survivor fashion. HE HAS DONE NOTHING Nick is too full of himself and doesn't listen to others and he is a baby. Katrina- I really just don't pay too much attention to her

LAST EDITED ON 03-17-04 AT 02:51 AM (EST)Amy, Troy, Nick In reading this thread, it finally hit me what Nick has going for him - smugness. Amy is solid, comes up with good sales type ideas, and has yet to lose. Troy is a risk taker, a consensus builder, and is consistently mentioned as a leader by the others. So what does Nick bring? Confidence? He thinks he is a lot better salesperson than he is. Drive? Yes, when he is calling the shots, but if not he can check out when things don't go as he'd like. Integrity? He's mr integrity when he can show it off, I'm curious as to how much he lives it when the cameras aren't on him. Leadership? Well, as PM his best decisions have been in getting out of the way of his team. Something to be said for that if you have ever worked for a micromanager, still he hasn't shown us the winning idea/strategy. So what has he got - smugness. The Donald makes the pick. The Donald is not humble. Everyone likes somebody like them. Who left is most like the Donald? Nick makes F3 on smugness.

I thought this was a fun question, and I've been enjoying reading all the different opinions being posted here. Just for fun, I decided to tally up the votes posted so far to see how we as a group have ranked the candidates. Here goes:Votes tallied through post #33: Troy - 31 Amy - 29 Bill - 17 Nick - 16 Kwame - 6 Katrina - 2 Well... So far it looks like we like Troy and Amy for sure, with Bill & Nick neck and neck to be the third candidate. We'll see if anything changes after Episode 12, maybe even after teh recrap tonight.

EVERYONE REMEMBER THE WINNER IS NOT KNOW IT IT LIVE AS SAID ON THE COMMERCIALS BUT THIS IS WHATY I THINK 6th Kwame- His turn as PM and looses and goes out 5th Nick- I am going on a limb and saying it comes down to Nick and Katrina and Nicks luck runs out when Katrina shows she is better making it a 2 on 2 girls and guys final 4 4th Troy- Did not even go to high school and he just should not get it he is not as good as the other 3 3rd- Katrina- Luck runs out has no chance aganst AMy and Bill 2nd Bill- Amy is better Winner Amy- I think this because Donald lost lots of money when the stock market crashed a while back and Amy also lost a lot of money she said whent he stock market went down after 9/11 she said it in ep1 connection and i think she wins

40. "RE: Final 3- Anyone care to guess?" |
I have to agree. While certain fields require advanced education (such as MDs or dentists), I'm not convinced that lack of college hinders someone from making it in business. Having been to college myself, sometimes college will limit creativity in thinking. Also, some of the greatest entrepeneurs never had advanced degrees. Literacy is vital, don't get me wrong, but generally someone with a good education up through high school should have that. Generally, making it in business (unless you're trying to do in high-tech or biomedical or something like that) requires less technical college knowledge, and more traits like risk taking, implementing the right idea, etc.One exception might be an MBA from a top school like Stanford or Wharton, but I see the main value of those programs as being connections to key people (especially venture capitalists and skilled executives at certain companies) more than the actual coursework.

Yes everyone i am sorry i meant Troy never went to college. And thats not good he does not compare to Katrina the number 3 real-estate agent in the US and Amy who had a ton of money in stocks and lost it. Troy is a ##### for not bringing Kwame into the board room Heidi did the best on the last task. I think Donald is a ##### for not fireing Troy for not bringing Kwame into teh board room. He fired Ereka fro not bringing Katrina why not do the same to Tory. So i am sticking to it Katrina Bill Amy Final 3

Katrina isn't the #3 real estate agent in the country. She was just nervous when she said that, she meant to say she was in the top 3% of realtors in the countryn (see NBCs website). Which actually means that *one year* she managed to get enough sales to rank her in the top three percent, by dollar volume, of real estate agents, hence she probably made enough money that year to support herself, which is better than roughly 75% of agents who only work part time but a long way from extraodinary.

Still being in the top 3 percent ever is real good and of what i know it is much much more than Troy has ever done at least she wasnt a ##### about what apartment to choose writing down "I want what you want" is very immature and i would not that person running a busniess. At least Hedid is 1/1 PM wins and Troy is 1/3 so Heidi is much better and Heidi did it with a mom in the hospital

By the way if Troy did bring Kwame into the boardroom, DT would have had a problem with that. Heidi openly attacked Troy and said it was all his idea (if you didn't like it why didn't you come up with something better?) I believe Troy chose Heidi because he knew that she would have been fired anyway. Remember what we see is only a fraction of the show...Carolyn might have been attacked Heidi, rolling her eyes etc. even before the final decision

I have to say I have noticed a late surge in support for Kwame around this and the other threads. I like Kwame, I just don't see it. If this were survivor then absolutely he is a contender, as UTR is a proven strategy there. But I just can't see that as workable in this situation. The eventual winner has to take over and run a Trump company with the spotlight squarely upon them. Trump and MB may not know who won yet, but they know the final two/three (whatever they stopped at for the final live show). I can't imagine a potential finalist for such a publicly prominent position being given such a low key edit as Kwame has to this point received. I suppose he could really emerge from here on out, but I think it is a little late. I like him, but I don't think a survivor-esque UTR backing into the win is what Donald wants his apprentice portrayed as.

LAST EDITED ON 03-24-04 AT 00:36 AM (EST)I know there must be more to him. I am very favorably impressed with him already especially in contrast to the primadonnas and dare i say it, DAW's that he is in competition with. But my point remains, would he really be edited so low key if he were a finalist? I think this is an acceptable edit for a survivor finalist where winning is based on voting of other contestants. But in this situation where winning is totally determined on the Donald's judgement, I believe that a finalist would already have been edited to show lots of risk taking, strong leadership, initiative, and creativity. And as they are showing a lot less of that from Kwame than some of the others, I can't see him as a finalist. No knock on Kwame, I'd MUCH rather spend time with him than any of the others, but IMHO he is not receiving a finalists edit.

LAST EDITED ON 03-24-04 AT 11:52 AM (EST)I am not against Kwame as The Apprentice, but I have just felt all along that if the Ivy Leagure MBA wins it would make the whole competition a little bit, well, anticlimatic. Take a mixed lot of competitors, various levels of education, proven successes in various fields, with various working and interacting styles, from various parts of country, and the winner is, ahem, the New England Ivy League MBA with one of the less distintive personalites on the show - (at least according to the editing...) Well! That's just not a surprising and suspenseful ending. Sorry, Kwame, nothing personal, but you can go be a CEO just about anyplace that you want to. For some of these other candidates, this is their one and only chance for a shot at a job like this. How can the producers hope to create an Apprentice II and draw in exciting and colourful characters if the winner is a formula predictable guy? Where is the tension, the squabbling, the romance, the pouting, the dumb ideas, etc. if there is nothing but a bunch of trained, mature, professional, by the book administrators? PS Omarosa, if you're reading this, "colourful characters" has nothing to do with race.

lol well said pepito. this could be the reason why so many people are Troy's fans. He IS an American dream. He has proven that you don't need to go to Ivy League to become successful. After all, Ivy League schoos require a lot of money anyway so that leaves no room for less wealthy people. To get into Harvard, one of the most significan factors (although not openly recognized) is whether your parents are alumni or not. If they are, even better chance to get into. When the whole family graduates from same school, more likely to give donation in the future. Harvard and Cornell are big for that.

Kwame, Bill, Troy.Kwame and Bill because of the normal UTR editing process. Reality shows never go for the predictable ending. We know less about those two and their true capabilities than about anyone else. Troy because he is the sympathetic underdog who most people are routing for and he's so much fun to watch. Too bad about Amy. It's hard to tell what she does to disqualify herself in the next episode or two, but no way would she be posing for magazines at this point if she was still a serious contender. Katrina's been on borrowed time for weeks. She should have been gone after the apartment renovation episode where she showed what a complete loser she was in every way - even tho real estate is her strong suite. If Tammy had not said those 3 little words, She would have stayed another week or two and Katrina would have been out of there then. I'm amazed when she refers to her looks as if she is something special in that department. She looks just average, or maybe even below to me. I don't get that she made it this far - but as someone said earlier....with as many resumes as they report having gone through to choose contestants - and these were the best they could find? WTF!
