The final show was about announcing who won right? Thats the real and main story to tell.
However, it wasn't the story they told us in this faux drama.
It became a heart breaking national destruction of a contestant on live TV.
I've been reading the board since last night and one thing is universally clear.
Whether you rooted for Kelly or Jenn or NEITHER, you were appalled by the pityfull situation Jennfer Massey had to endure.
If Donald Trump and Mark Burnett have even an ounce of common decency, they will address this immediately.
In the Apprentice Boardroom, taking reponsibility for your decisions (even when consequences are beyond your control) was time and again an issue.
Mrs Massey has worked hard through this series (like her or not), and though I too agree that Kelly appeared more qualified (just my opinion), it will be this dispacable result of bad production, direction and forethought that gave us this live and brutal character assasignation.
I strongly believe it is remiss for NBC not to force some level of apology to Mrs Massey and to viewers for this episode.

LAST EDITED ON 12-17-04 AT 06:42 PM (EST)I agree 100%. I would appreciate an apology and Jenn more than deserves one.
My dad was an exec. for an oil company and I always remember him telling me that in business (and life) when certain situations arose he always felt "it's him or me and it's not going to be me!" I think Jenn sort of thought that way too...that she wasn't going to sacrafice herself for the sake of being liked.
That being said, we don't know what we didn't see. Maybe Jenn was a problem or had issues w/ people that were not shown. (Although I think any real fireworks would have made the final edit) Whether or not appearing on a TV show makes you "fair game" (which is a whole other argument) she did not IMHO behave or perform in ways that warrented the drubbing she took.
This finale was a total disgrace to the Trump Org. The execs. had their say in prior episodes, we did not need to hear from them again. The general public should not have had a say in the final decision, this isn't American Idol. If the former contestants were going to be allowed to ring in, there should have beeen a panel and we should have seeen them weekly. Omorosa should NEVER be allowed out in public without a Hannibal Lector mask and the boardroom should have been done and finished with prior to breaking the "fourth wall".
Ok, in the immortal words of the Wolfcat--::Rant Off:
