The Apprentice Finale part I: 5/30(CAUTION SPOILERS)

[Disney1fan2002]

Ok, what was Lee thinking? OMG! I was cracking up when Donald asked Caroline if Pepe was gone the 1st week, and he didn't even remember him. Caroline was cracking up, she has a contagious laugh!

For years, I have had a feeling that the "disasters" that always seem to happen to the finalist during their "big" task, have been staged, to cause drama. I believe, tonight it has been proven to me. Andrea all of a sudden coughs up blood? The camera didn't even show her coughing, NEVERMIND coughing up blood, then, it is coming out her nose? NOPE. Sorry to be gross, but when she was hugging Sean, supposedly "scared" and running out to the Dr., she was "catching" the stuff coming out her nose (blood?) but yet, when she hugged him, she had her head tilted up, full veiw of the nostrils, and there was no blood. Not a drop. She kept pressing the kleenex to her nose and looking at it, and it kept coming away clean.

You would think, we would of seen at least a "tint" of blood somewhere, either on her nose, or at best, the KLEENEX.

Sorry, but I think it was a staged drama, that left Synergy in a dilemma, 24 hours before the biggest task of the game.

Lee, he is clueless, and he chose 3 clueless people.

I am dissapointed that I have to wait another week to see Barenaked Ladies.

I was pretty surprised at the team Lee picked. And the Pepi thing was pretty funny.

if that was a staged drama, better call thr FCC, bercause I don't think you're allowed to fix games like that...even a gme like the Apprentice.

If you didn't blink tonight, you saw my brother. He works at the Taj, and was in the row of guys in suits that Sean shook hands with.

 

[becka]

I was at Caroline's reaction to Lee's team. I don't even remember that guy.
Was he the first one fired?

I agree about the staged part. I have always thought the same thing and this one was by far the lamest one. There is really no way that was not staged.

 

[SeeDisney]

I made a new thread about Apprentice cuz I didn't see this one. Sorry.

What could be the cause of her blood coughing? I thought I remember it's a sign of lung cancer, but anything else?

Trump staging disasters is not fixing the game. IMO. He wants to make sure he is hiring the right person for the job, so he throws these curve balls, things that could happen in a very real life business situation, to see how the contestant, the next APPRENTICE can handle it.

Lee's team is a walking disaster on it's own, but Sean's team seemed to be doing OK, they knew what needed to be done, and were getting it done, but OOPS, wait a minute, one of the key players has to leave and go to the Dr....let the chaos begin.

Could someone please fill me in on the last 25 minutes of the show? My mom called, so I missed the end. Was one of the major sponsors threatening to pull out? If so, which one and why? TIA!

 

[Barb D]

The medical issue could have been as simple as a nose bleed in combination with post nasal drip and a cough.

The firefighter charity spokesperson was not pleased with the lack of ideas/coordination from Lee's team.

Thank you!!!!!

Sorry to me she seemed a little demanding....but I think she has a right to be concerned.

 

[canwegosoon]

She was hoarse...poss dried out(due to lights) with a cold could easily mean bloody nose and throat. I thought her exit was a little much...the produscers had her almost crying. She seemed stronger than that.

 

[Disney1fan2002]

Sorry to me she seemed a little demanding....but I think she has a right to be concerned.

But, there are extremely demanding people in the business world. I am sure Trump himself is more demanding. If Lee is freaking out over having to deal wih her, who seems to be almost nice, but concerned that his fundraiser is not going to work ( a very valid concern), how will he handle working for Trump?

Lee has no idea what he is doing, IMO. Sean is going to win this hands down, unless Lee can pull a rabbit out of a hat, but I don't think that will happen.

A strong person could EASILY be leveled by a medical emergency (or perceived medical emergency).

I am usually a strong person in a professional setting--but I certainly would cry like a baby when freaked out by a medical incident.

And needles--don't care what setting I am in, I just have an adverse phobia and it happens.


As far as being staged--while possible, that would have to disclosed (LOVE those disclaimers at the end of shows of portions not affecting the outcome have been removed...so if something affects the outcome and the show planned it--they would have to disclose that).

Both finalists last season didn't really have any concrete last minute emergencies of that scale. And Rebekkah's ankle certainly wasn't faked.

I think it is a stretch to say that is part of the plan.

It's Apprentice. Not the MOLE.

Absolutlely.

Caroline has noticed that Lee has taken a laid back approach. That can work well if you have a laid back client..not a demanding one. Lee has produced nothing concrete regarding strategy, schedule or anything to this woman. She has every right to be concerned.

His STUPID comment to the cameras about how he didn't have to be prepared for a meeting b/c its all about final task. Newsflash--lack of preparation means you miss opportunity. You miss opportunity, you could be kissing your win goodbye.

If the events are "close"--this could comeback and bite Lee in the butt since Mr. Trump makes the decision live on air and he will have seen all this by then.

Barring anything serious for Andrea--Sean will win b/c Andrea is on the ball. Too bad Tammy wasn't paying attention to her to properly digest the information so that she could communicate that later when necessary.

 

[lsyorke]

Anyone watch tonight?? I'm Thrilled with the outcome!!!

 

[escape]

I thought it was pretty predictable - not nearly as excting as last season's finale. I think the editing tonight tried to make the contest look a little more tight but I wasn't buying it.

However, I do have a question - Did Sean say that he and Tammy (I think that's her name) are getting married?

 

[lbgraves]

It really was so one sided tonight. Not very exciting IMO.

 

[luvdzne]
