Please keep all discussion of Kendra's inevitable hiring on this thread until those in the West have a chance to see it. Oh, I'm sorry: did the visible-from-the-thread-page exert actually spoil something for you? You thought Tana still had a chance? Really? You think Donald's going to walk into the set tonight with his decision unmade, his tie undone, and his hair unfrozen? And you're serious? And I just ruined the entire season for you? Gee. Oops.
LOL Estee!Just a few minutes to go! So, how bad do you think Tana will be slaughtered? As bad as Jenn M. last season? Maybe not... you know Donald has had about 5 months to think about this live show!
Here comes the DAWfest.DT is brak brak-ing.
Donald has borrowed Jiffie's recap writer. Can we please just get this over with?
I know, WTF? He's recapping every.friggin.task. AGAIN!!!
lol..well you see...the last task so god awful for Tana that they know there's no way they could stretch this out for two hours and no one really cares about this cast so probably no need for a reunion show. I think they're trying to stretch and use as many minutes possible before hiring Kendra.
You're right, hiring Kendra will take about 3 seconds!Plus, Regis isn't here this year to fill up the other 56 minutes.
Every week I ask myself, "Why am I watching this?" I really don't know....and last week (and last season) I swore I wasn't going to watch, but yet... here I am. *boggle*
Finally, they are rolling the opening credits!
Second verse
Same as the first
A little bit louder
and a little bit worse.Sorry, had a Bundy moment. Recap.
I just want to see the 6 helpers in their boardroom with Trump, that's going to be the most interesting part of the night.

Y'know who would have made a good Street Smarts? Al Bundy. 'Wearable Technology? Hey, it doesn't involve shoes. Let's rock.'
He's only got three-quarters of a show to summarize. Donald just used up twenty-five percent of the running time on his minor recap. Who's running this thing, the AI production crew?
I think I am only gonna have about 20 total mins! This is so damn freakin stewpid!
God help me for saying this, but I saw one site that said Tana's task actually was edited to look worse than it was. She even got kudo's from a sponsor and a teammate (obviously, they didn't see what she had to say about them). At the least they'll make this look closer than it should be. For a variety of reasons (including the going-to-bed thing) I would hire Kendra. I assume (and hope) that's what will happen. But, from what I've seen, it might be less a walk-in-the-park decision than we've been led by MB/DT to think.http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/CTDSites
And this just got confirmed by, of all people, my alter: Kristen just said she had Olympians coming up to her after the event with compliments. It's hard to see Kristen going for a last-second redemption edit, mostly because I'm not sure she's aware that she needs one, so this just might be the truth.
Yeah, I already figured as such. They showed half an hour of Tana's blunders to five minutes of Kendra's good show last week.Talk about your one-sided episode! That's what MB does to justify who wins. He wants to show the loser in an absolutely horrible light.
geeze someone change this old geezers hearing aide. He can't remember who was on who's team. This is just too awful to watch. They should have just made it a 28 minute recap and 2 minute hiring.but dammit I'm gonna watch the rest, then i'll poke my eyes out.
I thought you already poked your eyes out. They've been bouncing around OT for two weeks.
ok then i'll step on them lol. This is so awful though , donald is just awful awful...he really needs his buddy Regis.See they're looking for filler. Lots and lots of filler cause this season was just sooooooo boring.
My eyes!! My eyes!! Bounced by Icecat
OK, so we aren't going to get any film clips of the six rejects in the boardroom? What the hell was that clip for then? I'm peeved, this is going to be exceptionally boring.Well, it was going to anyway.
A generous Icecat donation
At least it isn't 3 boring hours with Regis this time!
Hmmm...Donald Duck (1) had more references in Married...with Children then both Donald Trump and Regis Philbin combined.True, 3 hours is 3 times worse then 1 hour.
A generous Icecat donation
but at least Regis could string two sentences together that made sense. Donald hosting skills are nearly as bad as Hayden Christensens acting skills.and Kelly is still boring and stiff.
My eyes!! My eyes!! Bounced by Icecat
Donald: 'So what's it like working for me?'Kelly: 'All parameters operating at normal levels. Input. Input.'
LAST EDITED ON 05-19-05 AT 09:29 PM (EST)You know, if you gouge your eyes out, Icey may have to make you some bloody, bouncing eyeballs!
More friggin' commercials already?!?!
and Kelly is still boring and stiff.I like this in my men! Well not so much the boring part...
this is really getting seriously painful. He needs someone , anyone to talk for him. Donald, you're fired.
My eyes!! My eyes!! Bounced by Icecat
I'm actually finding this to be kind of -- endearing. He's sort of cute when he can't remember who he's talking to and why. Like a fawn that can't get to its feet the first time. A fawn with really bad hair.
Everytime Tana mentions the possibility of winning, Trump totally knocks her down! Why does he feel the need to do this? He did the same sort of thing to Jenn M. last season!
Is the dumbest, stupidest and most idiotic finale I have seen since last season's finale of this show! We had 15fvckin minutes of a recarp! URGH!
Agreed. Hey at least you have less to summarize and we won't have to suffer for 3 hours.
why can't I turn it off. it's awful awful awful. I dont know what they're gonna do next season but they're going to need a major tranfusion of good candidates and tough tasks if they hope to get the audience back.This was the biggest piece of dreck I've seen all year. Tana obviously stands no chance and they can't even fake it. They're just trying to figure out how they can fill the whole hour.
Makes you wonder if they had planned a 2 hour show at the beginning and then realized how awful the season was or if they knew from the beginning and scheduled the single hour well in advance.
And I'll say it again, the jobs they have to choose from. Could you really have seen them offering that to Kelly and Jenn last season or Bill or Kwame in season one. Total fluff.
LAST EDITED ON 05-19-05 AT 09:44 PM (EST)I hadn't really thought how bad the season has been but this is the second finale that has sucked out loud! I didn't like Reeg from last season but both had seemed so damn cheesy!
why can't I turn it off. it's awful awful awful.I ahve been asking myself this all season, even when I said that I wasn't going to watch this season at all (after last season's debacle).
It's like a train wreck! You can't look away!
I've officially lost all respect for this season. I mean Miss America or Renovate a house!!!! Anyone else think these projects are way beneath the level of complexity you would expect an Apprentice to have.
Donald probably felt he had to dumb down the tasks for the womenfolk.
He may have a point though, consider the best (arguable) contestant is going into some business projects with the sedated Chris?A generous Icecat donation
*snort* Guess Chris had his Ritalin with him tonight!
Miss Universe would actually be pretty complicated -- it's a scaled-down version of negotiating a Super Bowl host city. I got the impression Kendra only opted for the house once Donald mentioned the value.
The Olympic Bid task was probably harder than that though.Kendra may have opted for the house so she can stay in Florida where she lives.
Last week's show should have been condensed to roughly 53 mins and then go live for Donald to make his decision. THIS.IS.STEWPID!Dumbest finale ever!
this show was a total crock. I dont know if there was anyting here for you to summarize Vols.it's funny the way the Donald always bait people to say what he wants them to say. I can't believe he's going on again about the crying bit. That's the only thing he can come up with.
Kendra you're hired...DUH...now go back under the radar and never show up again and hopefully people will forget this season.
I will give you a sneak preview of the entire summary!Kendra...you cried and you are hired!
can I say we get it already? Ok I get they loved the shape but ummm..how much would they have loved the shape if there was nothing in the brochure.
Cripes, baseball analogies ahoy!Kendra's hired because she was able to build her team up and Tana tore her's down.
Shocker. Wow, I'm astonished. I mean really, stunned.
A generous Icecat donation
and to think, I really DO think that Tana could have had a chance if she hasn't been so awful to her team. Even with problems in the final task, there was just no way he could hire someone that would treat their team that way.
*jaw hits floor*R U kiddin me? Keendrea one? OO mi gwad!!
Yeah... total shocker!
Now.Sheesh.
(sigh)
wow. that will be too much fun for bashers.They are serious.
And don't forget to watch his friend Martha in the fall.
Wonder how they'll keep the dancing Donald's hair on during that show?
Geez, this thread was much more entertaining than the actual show. And less commercials, too. Thanks guys!!
I know it's already been said here, but I feel the need to pile on this crapfest of a finale.15 minutes of recrap? Didn't we get that last week?
Donald is horrible on live TV, he can't even read the teleprompter. It's frighteningly bad.
Tana got screwed by the editing the last few weeks, that much I'm sure of.
Every one of Kendra's responses seemed scripted. It was obvious that she was given the questions up front, and prepared her responses in advance. I can almost picture her practicing in front of the mirror.
Excuse me, but they made it look like Kelly is single handedly running the entire Trump organization, and they offer the two "girls" a beauty pageant and a redecorating project. PUHLEEEZE!
Least.Suspensful.Finale.Of.All.Time.
The finalists wardrobes were hideous. Could Kendra's suit be any more ill fitting or ugly? Tana had on Mary Kay's entire line. Why not just use spackle?
Erin is a twit.
The shot of Omarosa dancing in her seat to the "Money" song. Gak.
I am so over this show, bring on Martha, I bet her version will be a bazillion times better.
ditto what true said, plus:wtf is up with Carolyn's hair? It was butter yellow and in a shag. That plus the bad, bad lighting made her look frighteningly witch-like. And then, the audio was so awful, her voice was almost screechy.
who on earth decided it was a good idea to turn this into Apprentice meets Perry Mason? Where did THAT come from? A judge's bench?????????? Is he for real?
Tanna was just obnoxious. Truly, truly obnoxious. I realize that she was getting the shaft up the rumpus, but when she did that totally undignified arm pumping, cheering, yee-hawing, "I created the wheel" thing, it was clear that she was NEVER going to be working for The Trump Organization and? that she had no business doing so. She was totally unprofessional and ridiculous.
Not only is Kelly running 34 different branches of the company, but they spent more air time on him than 3/4 of the current contestants. I would have much rather seen boardroom shots of the six helpers than that drivel. And who the hell cares what Bill Rancic is doing these days? Do they update me on the past winners of Survivor and TAR at the end of every season? No. And there's a reason for that.
Kendra's hair looked awful. Tanna's, though, looked worse.
So boring I'm not sure I'd even bother watching another season, but I'm SURE I won't bother watching another finale. Ever. That was just god-awful. What a complete waste of time.
man could I not agree with you more. Of all three seasons, I think the best hire he's made was Kelly even though he's also the most boring of the hires. I can definitely see him running 34 differents aspects of the organization whereas Bill it seems has just been his Apprentice Poster Boy. He has the looks and will say the cheesy crap that Donald wants people to hear.This season....they should have just scrapped and said see you guys in the fall.

I was switching between this and the Worst of American Idol. At least I enjoyed the worst of AI. It was scripted to be bad.
Every one of Kendra's responses seemed scripted. It was obvious that she was given the questions up front, and prepared her responses in advance. I can almost picture her practicing in front of the mirror.
Totally, totally agree! WTF? She seemed like she was reading out of a texbook!
I had insomnia last night and stayed up to watch the rerun on CNBC. What a carpfest. At least it put me to sleep! Tana pumping her arm because the brochure was round? Thankfully I missed She Who Should Not Be Hired, that would have given me nightmares. DT wouldn't let anyone finish a sentence. Kelly working in every aspect of DT's business. Feh.I will give the show another chance. If nothing else, A4 will afford great bashing opportunities, hone our skills.
