    i did. When they lifted the things up and he got up and shook everyones hand and then started cheering, i just think it was dumb. the last 40 mins we just a complete promotion for himself. I was not impressed. I also think the wrong person won. I feel really bad for the looser (i'm trying not to spoil it here)

    Thoughts?

    Yesterday they interviewed both men and Kwame admitted he had a weak spot for fine looking women. Funny how Quamy picked Omarossa early in the team picking and she cost him the Dream Job.

    Who would have picked the Golf Course in CA? Great job until it slides into the ocean again. LOL

    Trump was pretty stiff near the end.......it was pretty obvious he was reading from cue cards (which surprised me........I thought he would have pulled that off a lot better than he did)........and the self promotion was a little too much for me. It's not a bad thing if it's done in small doses though.....but "the Donald" never does anything in small doses.

    Great concept for a show I thought......I enjoyed watching all the episodes.......and I think Bill was the better choice in the end because Kwame screwed up on a lot of earlier assignments and was a little too "textbook" and low key...............

    Omarosa was a lying, backstabbing, "beeyatch" who not only got wacked from the show way too late for my liking........and FWIW she was also "fired/quietly transferred" 4 times in the space of 2 years when she worked in the Clinton administration and at the Commerce Department.

    Sam is a total idiot.......the suitcase full of money stunt was right up his alley.

    Bill picked the right job too........manage that project successfully and you're "in like flint". Trump's forte is building construction, not golf course development.........don't forget that.

    Now....when FHM magazine comes out I can oogle the women from the show......

    I do not normally watch reality TV shows, but I watched every episode of the Apprentice and actively participated in dicussions amongst friends/peers. I feel as though Bill was the right person picked for the job, Kwame had enough chances to prove himself in which he did, but his style of leadership is not what was going to work within the Trump Organization. In the Trump Organization, micromanagers are what they need - people to make sure every little detail is going to be 100% on the up and up. Now that they are building this gigantic tower in Chicago, Bill wants to stay home (he's from Chicago) and run the division. He's the right candidate for the job.

    Kwame did very well - and I give him major respect. He will have just a high paying job from some other company - just you wait. Troy will receive a major job as well - (from another company, not Trump)....

    dherman.....

    Kwame is a really smart guy and very good.....you summed it up nicely........he left his job at Goldman Sachs to do the show too.

    I'm really sure most of the initial candidates will get job offers....except for 2-3.

    I was also dissapointed in the ending of the show. The self promotion was incredible and tacky. I am glad to see Bill won and that he choose the construction project instead of the soon to be "Atlantis" golf course that will literally sink away in a couple of years. Note to "Donald": mother nature cannot be bought;). Overall, the show was very entertaining and I will definately watch the next season.

    Thank you. Here are my predictions:

    1. Kwame - goes back to Wallstreet or becomes an agent and gets a very high paying job.
    2. Troy - gets some type of small town/city lending position but gets handsomely rewarded (he is just flat out nice - I'd let him take care of my kids, if i had)
    3. Nick - will get a sales job with a major corporation and will do extremely well, will be one of the next members of FCHAT
    4. Omarosa - has created a monster out of her career - lied publically many times, but for some reason, I think she may do well?
    5. Heidi - I do not like her for some reason.
    6. Katrina - She's a gorgeous girl - top 3% of all realestate agents in the USA. She's doing very well already.
    7. Amy - will land a HR/Marketing job and will do very well. I have a feeling she'll be on many talkshows.

    Looking forward to seeing Kwame on many talkshows, as also, Omarosa. Troy will be making some appearances as well. I have a feeling he'll be doing some college tours - speaking.

    As for Bill - lets see if he can handle the pressure :)

    As has been said Omarossa is a *****. I don't like to say I hate anyone or thing, but I hate that *****. And I still am trying to figure out why Kwame never fired her. I would have threatened her after she didn't say who was on the phone. Damn stupid ass worthless *****.

    P.S.-Sorry for the extreme emotion.

    i would of fired her in one second, but then again my style is more like bills I would of double checked everyhing.

    I lost respect for the donald last night, I saw on an interview he said he is the highest paid personality in tv now.

    he should learn to maybe practice his lines before he goes on live again.

    To all that thought the self promotion was too much during the final...what about the rest of the show? It was a rolling advertisement for him and all of the other guest corporations...just look at the folks that lined up for the next season.

    Omarosa was a complete whack job and I would have fired her before... and when she lied to Kwame. I have done it in my own business. Don't tell me what you can't do, do what you can and figure out how to complete the rest. She really must have worked for Clinton...even when confronted with the video about lying...she basically tried to talk about something else. But then again, this is TV so she now has her fame and will move forward leading folks along thinking that everyone is laughing with her or that those that aren't are racist.

    As for Bill/Kwame, either would be a great choice. I prefer Kwame's style for partners but Bill's style for my employees.

    Randon comments:

    Kwame was on CNBC today and said that Mark Cuban waited 2 hours for him after the show to offer him a job managing his portfolio.

    I'm curious how profitable Bill's cigar business is, because when he was asked about the possibility of winning, the first thing he mentioned was how nice the money would be. $250K isn't bad, but I'm thinking the PR is worth more.

    Anyone else think Omarossa was playing the shill in the final episodes? I have a hard time believing she turned into an idiot overnight.

    I'm sure this has been covered, but what about the all-but-confirmed reports about inside intervention regarding the 11th hour party-room rental?

    About halfway through the series, the inevitable ifluence of reality TV manipulation seemed to start tarnishing things for me.

    I heard speculation that Jessica Simpson went "missing" as a test conceived by the producers to test Kwame's response under pressure. However, if this was true (and was the reason Kwame got fired) then the producers basically sandbagged Kwame. In any event I think Bill was the right choice. In the real world some employees will slack off, goof around and do as little as humanly possible. (I have fired a few in my business.) If Kwame can't handle confrontation then he has no business being the Apprentice.
