Yahoo extra footage implies a big win for Kendra with a huge charity money raising idea by Danny. Tana gets flamed by Carolyn for poor people skills- supposedly her strong point.
Tana made a strategic mistake picking Craig over Kendra when asked- showing that she cannot separate personal from business- That extended segment where Kendra talks about liking Craig but not being able to work with him ties into this. I think that it will hurt Tana in the final boardroom choosing Craig for personal reasons or else showing poor people judgment by picking such an obvious weak player.

Well, I am up to 22, so I am happy. However, am I crazy or did the game get it wrong? While watching I am sure that it was Craig who said that he got his education a different way, and I was bummed because I picked Tana. But the game says it WAS Tana. WTF?
Yeah, that confused me as well. I picked Craig, and the game results said it was Tana, and I didn't tape the episode so I can't double-check. Can anyone check this?
And I'm thoroughly annoyed that I reasoned myself out of two correct answers! Oh well.
Edit: I just watched the Yahoo footage of the interviews, and it definitely was Craig saying he went about it (getting education) a different way. Tana said she decided to focus on having children instead. I hope Yahoo corrects the scores - with my bonus, that's 15 more points. (and darn it, I have no life, so I want those points!)

Thinking back to the short preview for the next episode (#316):
One candidate, who is in charge of the Best Buy Video Game World Championship, tries to soothe the concerns of one of the corporate sponsors The other finalist, who is in charge of the NYC2012 Athlete Challenge, is responsible for the governor of New York [State] and has trouble locating an American flag
.
So it's confirmed that Kendra is the one trying to sooth the concerns of Sony Playstation, while Tana has to shepherd around Governor Pataki and has trouble locating an American flag (which I should have known when she couldn't find rhinestone beads in Manhattan).
And I'm thoroughly annoyed that I reasoned myself out of two correct answers! Oh well.
I know what you mean. I changed one of my answers on Wednesday and ended up with less points than the week before, but at least I'm still in the top 100.
Tana gets flamed by Carolyn for poor people skills- supposedly her strong point.
Labelling her team the "Three Stooges" when talking to Carolyn wasn't a smart move, given how Carolyn feels about team loyalty, and the responsibility of PMs towards their team members. It was amusing, and on a human level, understandable, but in expecting that Carolyn would be sympathetic to her predicament, Tana misread the situation. It won't surprise me if that conversation comes up in the boardroom.
ETA: Just watched the CNBC repeat, and yes, Tana did call Brian, Chris and Kristen the "Three Stooges" when talking to Carolyn. Not that I can altogether blame her, but I think Tana was pushing the chumminess a bit too far.

The searching for an American flag could also mean that Tana and co. are searching for a specific flag they are supposed to use that's been misplaced. We've seen how things always magically disappear during a final task. I'm reminded of one of Bill's corporate sponsor signs winding up at the dumpster.

And Boyfriend Bill realized early and went looking himself. I think he even said, "If you want it done right...." yada yada. I have to laugh at the ones who delegate vs. the ones who micromanage. Have we EVER seen anything good come of delegating and assuming people will do it? (I'm looking at YOU, Tana) Hell no! You have to stay on their asses because it's YOUR ass on the line. Who cares if they get pissy? As long as your requests aren't unreasonable, and you prove (through editing) that you needed to, then their attitude doesn't matter....
Anyone taking any bets on Tana loosing the flag that the governor was supposed to do something symbolic with? And will most likely "miraculously" find it at zero-hour?

The big question is whether TPTB hide the American flag, or one of the Three Stooges loses it. We already know that Chris isn't good at keeping track of important objects.
This year, the Final Two have been told explicitly that they may fire one of their teammates if necessary. Any bets on whether or not Kendra fires Danny for scaring the sponsors?
BTW, even watching the show armed with a dose of Tylenol w/ codeine doesn't render Danny's ditty less cringeworthy. Perhaps if I gave the codeine to him, things would improve?

If you look at the Yahoo! extra footage, you'll see that Danny actually does contribute to the task positively, and Kendra compliments him in a confessional. She says something like, "Why wasn't he this good when he was in the game?" I do think it is kind of crummy of the editors to show him in such a negative light just to make it look like poor Kendra has to work with a bunch of morons.

Thanks for the heads up,
myshipp, I haven't gotten a chance to look at the Yahoo! extra footage yet, and since it's not compatible with my Mac, it's finding time during breaks at work. I thought that Danny *could* be an asset during the actual event, since it's centered around people who love to play computer games all the livelong day and night, and hey, there's Danny! Under the right conditions, and if the moon is in the seventh house . . . Seriously, although his organizational ability is nil, he can run around doing the slacker-party-guy/geek schtick, and that will make the gamers laugh and feel more comfortable. I also suspect that Danny will help Kendra fix up the Playstation room.
The big question is whether TPTB hide the American flag, or one of the Three Stooges loses it. We already know that Chris isn't good at keeping track of important objects.
But losing the American Flag! How could poor young Chris stand the stress, especially since he's chaw-less? (I'm assuming he's without his chaw.) When I imagine a NYC bid for the Olympics, I imagine American flags hanging in every available space, and so I figured that some PM--now I know it's Tana--couldn't find enough American flags to fill the space. But maybe there is a particular flag that goes AWOL . . . good thought.
This year, the Final Two have been told explicitly that they may fire one of their teammates if necessary. Any bets on whether or not Kendra fires Danny for scaring the sponsors?

If anyone does get fired, I think it will be from Tana's team. I think Kendra's team is pulling together for her. Tana's team does not. Bickering in the car, as well in the preview Brian's comment "We're making the decisions," are not a good signs at all.

No, I didn't, and the NBC preview video wasn't posted when I checked this afternoon. That's the problem of watching the show with other people, since we're talking about the show, and I pay half-attention to the preview. So, what's the big mistake, I wonder? Losing the flag? Losing Governor Pataki? I'd think he'd be better at finding his way back than Jessica Simpson.

Kristen claims that most of the ex-candidates will support Kendra in the Finale including Tana's current team of ex-candidates. I have a feeling this finale is going to be a lot like last seasons with an unanimous support for Kendra. At least Tana can continue to be a MILF in Iowa =)

The NBC preview is up now.
I also noticed that Tana says "Don't be grumpy" when there's not really a scene to go with it. That comment fits her personality well. I wonder if she's talking to Chris or Brian. I realize Kristen's always grumpy but I can't see that comment working for her if she were speaking to Kristen. I can't explain why, though.
Kristen claims that most of the ex-candidates will support Kendra in the Finale including Tana's current team of ex-candidates.
Wow if that's true, it's a slam dunk for Kendra. If an entire team doesn't support their own leader, Trump won't hire her, even if it is Kristen, Brian and Chris.
I have a feeling QVC has a job for Tana that probably pays more than Mary Kay.
ETA: Is Kristen allowed to say something like that? That sounds a lot like breaking the NDA. I don't know how it was said or in what context but the way it's written sounds bad.

Why do I get the feeling that Bitchface was fired by Tana? And aren't these idiots supposed to keep their piehole shut about things we haven't seen yet or content in unseen episodes? This woman is just pissed that she was called a Stooge and then shown to be bickering about freakin' hats in the car with Brian.
I believe nothing that comes out of this woman's mouth and think everything is rooted in bitterness and vindictiveness. This woman has been shooting her mouth off about all sorts of things that any person with common decency would keep to themseleves. Didn't she go on another Fishbowl interview a few weeks ago and claim that Audrey and Todd (both married) were making out?
See, I can chalk-up Omarosa's lies and accusations due to her obvious bat shittiness and personality disorders. But Kristen? Is just a vengeful, unhappy, miserable ,sad witch.

Good point, I don't know if Kristen is allowed to say that but during the show she kept on Bashing NBC, Trump, and Mark Burnett and she even said at one point, "screw the contract, ask whatever you want about the show (production secrets and all) and I'll answer it" Kristen obviously doesn't care if shes allowed to say it or not.
Now I don't know if she is actually going to support Tana in the Pretaped Boardroom, but she says if she is asked during the live finale, she will support Kendra and so will Brian, Chris, and about every fired candidate except 3 of them. (exceptions Obviously being Alex, Craig, and probably Angie)

Which is probably partly why Trump decided not to do the reunion portion of the show. This motley bunch is certainly the most disgruntles out of all three seasons. Too much personal drama, but all about peopel that no one cares about. Not to mention Chris's arrest. There's no way he's going to do the "Who would you choose?" thing again. I think he hated this cast so much (so much that he didn't even feel a need to be available for the final task announcement) that he'll want to end this as soon as possible.

It's bad-sounding, but unless she can make her comments stick, it's just more fuel for the publicity engine. Kristen is vehement for sure, and that grabs attention, but her charges are vague, and unless she can come up with something more specific beyond her opinion of what the other candidates think, it's, well, just more fuel for the publicity engine.

No, I don't think so. I think last season's bunch was worse, for all of their education. When I remember last season, I mainly remember continuous screeching and bickering, and since the decibel-level has been lower this season, I've enjoyed it more.

Perhaps Tana trusts one of her Stooges to do a critical task, which of course doesn't get done. Trump could be referring to something pretty minor (like the dirty seats from last year), but with this crew I have high hopes for a genuine sponsor-annoying disaster.

My guess is that both events will come off ok or better. Trumps reputation is on the line and especially with the Olympics- failure is no option. So how would they judge a winner if both succeed? I have a hunch that Danny's idea of raising big bucks for charity will be the deciding element- Both events succeed but one event also raises tons of money (unexpectedly) for charity. A win plus! and its Danny that is the catalyst for that!

I went to Michael's website and he has links to Danny's and Erin's websites. I would think that means that they all like each other and got along on the final task. Erin meanwhile is doing on camera work for a morning TV show in Florida.
From the Yahoo TV clips:
Kendra is shown talking to her team members about handing them several main responsibilities.
Erin - her job is logistics, supply chain, inventory, t-shirts etc.
Michael - he has to oversee the GQ lounge VIP party for 150 people which means ordering food, drinks etc.
Danny - he is to work with the corporate sponsors to raise money for charity and make sure things run smoothly. He talks to an executive from EA about selling a face in the Fight Knight round 2 game as a way to raise money for charity. The exec and Kendra love it as some VIP there is bound to bid big to have the chance to have his face in a video game.
Looks like things are under control at Webster Hall.
Tana's clip meanwhile shows her delegating the job of getting lunch for herself to Brian. Carolyn is then shown being upset with Tana because she doesn't like or trust Brian or Chris. Carolyn said that these two are self made millionaires and aren't the idiots that Tana believes they are.
Please don't double post. Just edit your original post. Thanks.

May 7, 2005 @ 8:31 pm
I have to be honest, I have not seen the show since Alex was fired because I was out of New York and travelling on business. Word from my source is that it will be Kendra. She has the degree, real estate background, and that divorce issue is over, and she is living with the guy in Florida, so scandal averted. Editing tries to make things more interesting, but my source doesn't think Tana has a chance, and they were there for the entire filming.
As for when they can leave "The Ponderosa"/ hotel, they all leave together on the same day about a week after the last task. They stay in New York for press photos/etc, so the tasks are done, just the decision from Trump needs to be made. They went home right before Thanksgiving. The only exception is Verna, who was sent home immediately. Poor Todd got fired on day three, which was about September 28th, and had to stay until late November with everyone else. NBC takes away your money, cell phones, etc., but apparently he got his wife to mail him some stuff, and really got himself into trouble.
FYI to an earlier posting...I am a female, not a male, and I will have my sights set on John at the finale. He may be an ass on film, but my friend said in person he is really a great guy, and editing just made him seem harsh on his last 2 episodes. I am going with my friend/source, and I will try to get scoop on TA4.

Hi Cooler....
What's the deal witht his rumor that the winner is chosen based on who "wins" the last task. Is this true? Because if so, then I kind of feel like we've been jerked around all season. I totally get the feelign that Tana's task is going to have some major monkeywrenches thrown her way (bigger mishaps than usual) that she won't be able to solve. Not to mention, I think Kendra got the easier task/better team.
Is Trump going to say the winner is based on who wins the last task?
Also, what's the deal with the anilmal hostility that Kristen has for Trump? Did Trump decide to cut out the "reunion" type posrtion of the final and, if so, is ot because there's a feeling from producers that some of these candidates will be unnecessarily nasty or try to embarrass Trump?

Many many thanks for the update, cooler! Poor Todd, he must have been bored out of his mind. Do the contestants get a per diem (a Visa check card, perhaps?), or are they forced to live on room service the whole time?
Good summary, bgk123. Of course, there's always the possibility that Kendra's difficulties and Tana's successes aren't being previewed in order to fool us into thinking that Kendra has this in the bag when in fact Tana's team is doing a terrific job. But then I look at Tana's team and think... nah.

That's not only never been confirmed, it came from Page 6 (whatever) and it never specified which show. It did however say it was a male, and I posted in another thread that based on the facts, if it was anyone from TA it had to be Bren, John or Michael. But truthfully, none of the scenarios fit for any of the firings. None of the PM's were sabotaged in any way when those three were fired.

What it said was that he needed to sabotage his PM. He chose not to and was promptly fired. The only three men that scenario fits are John, Michael & Bren.
The reason it is not Alex is because this person specifically did not make it to the final four. Alex did.

What's the deal with this rumor that the winner is chosen based on who "wins" the last task
Operative word being "rumor," but focus on what "wins" means, and the question answers itself.
There's a case to be made for either Tana or Kendra going into the final task. There is no objective standard by which to judge the final task (money earned, etc.). Therefore, she who "wins" the task wins the Apprenticeship; she who wins the Apprenticeship "wins" the task.
Now the next round of argument will be, "Well they've stacked the deck against Tana, so they've already decided on Kendra." To which, I'll say in anticipation that we don't know enough yet to judge which task is "easier" -- actually, "less difficult" would be more accurate -- and even then there'd be a debate about it. (
See Season One in which George & Carolyn debate whether the Simpson concert or the celebrity golf tournament was the more difficult.)

As far as 'money' being an issue in either task, the only thing I'm curious about is the extra money Danny is securing for charity to get someone's face in the game. Trump has always been big on charity in these shows. This could be a big deal.

I've seen speculation that this refers to Project Runway and someone named Kevin (?). It was something about Kevin seeing someone's dress being destroyed before a show
(and again (?)). I don't watch PR, so I don't know if that is the case, but those who read the spec were in total agreement that it would fit the circumstances perfectly.
Plus, the blind item stated that the PRODUCERS sabotaged the task, and the person had to go along to get to F4. IMO it would be very difficult for the producers to interfere on The Apprentice, since the incompetents don't need much help ruining things on their own.
Therefore, I'm not convinced that this even applies, if that helps.

This was hashed over a few days ago, and came up again yesterday (actually, the day before yesterday) on this thread. Supposedly the person in question--and there's no telling what show it refers to--refused to go along with the sabotage, so even if this gossipy bit refers to the Apprentice, it wouldn't apply to anyone who made the final four, which would let out Craig.

According to the official rules, bonus points are awarded when your final weekly answers are submitted 12 hours or more before the deadline (Thursday at 4:00pm Pacific time). The bonus percentage drops in increments of 5% every six hours.
So for bonus points. this is what I calculated:
Game start - 10pm Mon: 50% bonus
10pm Mon - 4am Tue: 45%
4am Tue - 10am Tue: 40%
10am Tue - 4pm Tue: 35%
4pm Tue - 10pm Tue: 30%
10pm Tue - 4am Wed: 25%
4am Wed- 10am Wed: 20%
10am Wed - 4pm Wed: 15%
4pm Wed - 10pm Wed: 10%
10pm Wed - 4am Thu: 5%
4am Thu - 4pm Thu: no bonus
(note: all times are
Pacific, not Eastern)
So I think you need to get your picks in before 10pm Pacific (1am Eastern) for the maximum bonus. I don't guarantee the accuracy of these times, though! I checked my old mail, and found that Yahoo's announcements of new weekly questions have been sent between 10am and 2pm Pacific (1pm-5pm Eastern), which gives us at least eight hours each Monday to get the max bonus. I think. I was an English major, so my calculations are suspect...
Edited because Eastern and Pacific are not the same, oops

Thanks coastcat! I've been wondering those times myself. I was just too lazy to do the math!
