Definitely not, especially after hearing Trump call him a loser several times over last night in the board room. Personally, I would have fired Alex the project manager who 'oversaw' everything to disaster with the task. He did one thing and he did it badly. Bravo Alex, Bravo.

But Trump had wanted to fire Angie last week, so this was more of a catch up firing and no amount of managerial incompetence would have gotten Alex fired, and Chris...well he just makes things interesting on TV.

well, from the preview it looks like Net Worth is gonna get Bren this week. I actually think they might win. I'm sure theyll try to build up some Kendra/Craig drama, then he'll fire one of them, maybe even both of them. He fired two people at the same time last year, perhaps he'll do it again. I think it'll be Alex/Tana as the final 2. with Alex winning because Tana is gonna get like Stephanie and shizz on the final task.

They might fire two, but I think it's unlikely since they already had to make up for one week after that one girl quit.

Yeah, and especially since Trump keeps saying this is a "16 week job interview." If he fired two in one episode, it would be 15 weeks. Come to think of it, with that girl quitting, he kinda allready did fire two in one week :???:

Yeah, but technically, there were 16 episodes total (assuming the rest of the season goes as scheduled).

That extra episode with the recap of the season counts, I guess.

Here are my odds as to who will be the Apprentice:

Kendra: 5-2
Alex: 3-1
Tana: 5-1
Bren: 11-2
Craig: 10-1
Chris: 30-1

You can tell Trump really likes Alex, but I doubt he'll hire a white guy three seasons in a row. Kendra seems to have what it takes: good leadership, business-savvy, and a killer winning streak. Tana has an excellent record, but I'm not sure if Trump will by the whole "hick from Ohio" schtik once all the chips are down. Bren is a possible sleeper, however, he hasn't really done much to warrant the title.

As for Craig and Chris? Craig just seems to be filler at this point, while Chris is around simply for sucking ever-so-slightly less then the person who gets fired.

Getting arrested isn't just for American Idol contestants anymore! It's truly shocking news. Could never have seen the signs.....

"loud and beligerent"...nope, doesn't hue close to any Apprentice contestant...

Yeah, his mug shot is great.

I am liking this episode. There's no straight up winner. Either team could end up in the board room. =D>

What a beautiful moment =D> Seeing Chris cry like a baby almost made watching him all this time barable.

Updated Apprentice odds:

Kendra: 3-2
Tana: 4-1
Alex: 7-1
Bren: 7-1
Craig: 15-1

Kendra seems unstopable at this point! Not only did she anchor herself a spot in the final four, but she managed to do so by almost single-handedly beating Alex, Bren, and Chris. Kendra, from now on, everyone here should refer to you as Superwoman!

As for the rest, well, Tana has the best one-liners of anyone left, but I still don't think the hick shtick will click with Trump. Alex and Bren have seen their stock plumet by having to be associated with Chris. And Craig, well, seems to be the free-loading king of the season. The fact that he hasn't been in the boardroom that many times has covered it up, but it'll eventually surface.

Wow, what a great episode (probably one of the best of the season).

First off, that roadster is BEAUTIFUL. And for only around 19.9k, great sticker price. I was never a Kendra fan but she really impressed me with her ability to suck up the shit handed out to her by Craig and Tana and created a great ad campaign.

As for the boardroom, I sort of felt bad for Chris, even though creating words out of thin air during his presentation was classic. I really think Trump and co. have some respect for him, think about it, 7 boardrooms in a row and he only now got fired. The guy is really young and a self-made multimillionare. He has the drive, he's just insane.

I loved this episode. Best of the season, without a doubt.

The car is amazing. I'm surprised it's so cheap (for it's looks, anyways). I want one. And, Magna's brochure would sure get me as a buyer. Anyways, I did like Chris, so it was sad to see him go. The only remaining people I like on the show are Alex and Bren. I think Bren will win. Though he has had one bad idea (the pickle pornography...), he's a good player and never causes trouble. Kendra and Craig are going to blow it up next week, so I don't see either of them winning. Kendra had a good shot until she started this whole mess with Craig and her team. She'll be eliminated for not being a "team player".

The Odds:

Bren: 4-1
Kendra: 5-1
Alex: 7-1
Tana: 7-1
Craig: 10-1

You know what I realized last night while watching this? I hate Craig. Think about it, Kendra had a designed a theme for the brochure: emotion. She clearly stated it in fornt of both Tana and Craig. I heard it. The editors obviously heard it. Everyone who payed attention clearly heard it. So why in God's name did Craig spend all of his time complaining that they had no theme?? In fact, the only time he wasn't complaining and being a pain in the ass, was when he was sleeping -- while Superwoman was working her ass off into the wee hours of the morning!

And moreover on Chris: I know he's talented (I mean anyone who's a millionaire at 21 has to be!), but he did not show it at all in this competition. In fact, Trump did him a favour by firing his ass before he had a chance to take his degradation down to lower levels.

And don't you guys find it kind of ironic that Roid Rage-Chris' fate was finally sealed in a task that involved a car! =D> I did! But then again I'm probably the only one here that call's him Roid Rage.

Well maybe that's because you read the EW Apprentice column and steal their quotes and take them as your own. [-X :wink:

Well, they're right!! lol

And I soo didn't steal them! I know approximately four people whom I call Roid Rage!

I think last night's episode was a good one, but the tasks could have used some improvement. They were of such a variety that someone with a clear artistic vision would not need/want anyone else to work on them, especially if those people didn't understand said vision. Craig and Tana obviously didn't understand what Kendra meant by emotion in a brochure. But I can't fault them for that, just I like can't fault Kendra for not getting Craig's box idea in the Home Depot task. In this case if Craig and Tana were to go off an do their own work - like Craig wanted to do while Kendra had them looking at pictures for hours on hours - the vision would have been messed up and the end product would have looked disjointed like the brochure of Alex, Chris and Bren's. I give Kendra full credit, her work kicked ass and she fully deserves the exemption that she gets next week, and she will most likely make the final 2 and she deserves it in this season of less than stellar candidates.

Alex though has got to go. He failed to get key pictures for the brochure which Bren specifically told him to take. All I saw him do was flirt with the model, not that it a big surprise as in the Domino's task he seemed to spend a lot of time talking to customers instead of you know, actually doing stuff. Trump though seems to like him and he isn't a mess in the board room so I can see him being around for a bit longer than Bren. So the way I see it breaking down

Fired next week: Bren
Cut off at the interviews: Alex and Craig
Final Two: Kendra and Tana
Don't know the winner.

I really liked last night's episode. Trump showed his compassionate side for a few seconds.

Well, Craig wasn't very clear on the Home Depot task imo, whereas Kendra pretty much threw the gauntlet down from the get-go. I just feel that there was a total lack of effort from Craig's part, in terms of trying to understand and pulling his fair share. I really hope he gets fired next week because I don't think he deserves to stay in this competition any more.

I guess it's just a matter of perceptiveness with certain things. I didn't understand Kendra either, she just kept on saying emotion over and over again. It's hard to tell someone what you're doing by saying the same thing that they didn't understand the first time over and over again. So I thought there was miscommunication on both ends. While it turned out fantastic in the end I can certainly see where Craig and Tana could have had difficulty following her. But yeah I don't see Craig outlasting Kendra in this competition at all.

Focus group over the phone, eh?

Just die, Alex. You killed all your chances with that stupid idea.

That wasn't too hard to call.

Right from seeing the size of the product, I knew Net Worth would lose.

Okay, seriously, was Donald Trump on crack during this episode?

Unbelievable. Bren was, by far, the best of the remaining five. He's not the one who came up with the dumb idea. He went along with Alex's dumb idea. He was a good team player by doing that. Unlike Magna, Net Worth was actually trying to work together and not argue about the task. So, they lose. Alex came up with the idea. Alex didn't meet with the focus group in person.

And, Bren gets fired? Yuck. He doesn't take "risks". Big whoop! He didn't screw up on this task.

Alex did. ](*,)

I would have fired Alex as well, but Bren did himself no favours by stating that he's not much of a risk taker and is slowly learning how to with Donald. That desk was hilariously not functional. Oh good I can see my in and outbox, only a layer of glass is preventing me to get to them. Thankfully I can see them otherwise I might just forget they were there in the first place. The best was when they realized that this idea wasn't the greatest because they would just be transferring clutter from the main desk to this one, and then there was the period of silence. Great stuff.

Magna's idea was really quite good and I could see people having it on their desk, but that presentation was rather corny. Also, I hate Craig. I didn't quite dislike him until tonight, they way he talks down to Kendra is rude, and she didn't deserve that tone. Magna moment of the episode, when Kendra and Craig were verbally sparring and Tana is enjoying her sandwich.

This has become the season of the focus group, and sadly Bren's calling around (as per Alex's instructions) just didn't yield results.
