I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

It's an hour and a half thru the show, and I'll tell you right now who wins.

This show is getting a little too predictable.

I'd put $5000 on BOTH of them winning. Thats right, Mr. Trump will hire them both - Randall and Rebecca. I guarantee this.

Let's see if i'm right!

you were right

edit: never mind

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

You were close to right...

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

yeah, thanks for your opinion buddy.

Looks like I was WRONG!! haha, well i woulda lost $5000

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

Doc7, haha yeah, did u see that?? He asked Randall if he would hire her too, and he said no... If Randall had been a nice guy, he woulda hired her too. What a meanie.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

I thought the exact same thing halfway through. I think randall is a total badass for not giving her the job. that took guts.

He should have fired him for that, and hired her instead.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

BOO RANDALL !!! that was pretty stupid of him to say no to hiring both. it's like, dude you already won. what does it matter if she gets hired too considering they have 2 different projects anyway. what a jerk.

i thought it made him look pretty bad.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

Losing the apprentice is probably better than winning. You can probably get a better job.

Dumb quote of the day. Winning gets you a guaranteed million and Trump is there to bounce ideas off of. Losing gets you sympathy points and a job as another run of the mill realty tv promoter.

"It's an hour and a half thru the show, and I'll tell you right now who wins."

i was predicting that 2 weeks ago.

the burn by randall at the end was sick. he made a complete ass of himself, it was very sad to see. that said, rebecca only came on good at the very end and coasted along until that point. alla wouldve been a much better apprentice than either of them.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

What an [censored].

Just wanted to point out how wrong this turned out to be.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

"it's not the apprentii"... classic. The guy can definitely think on his feet.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

This is the first apprentice I saw the whole season, but I really think that dude came off as a huge [censored] when he said she shouldnt get the job. It seemed like he did it for selfish reasons too, not because he didnt like the chick...can u guys who watched the season clue me in on this situation a little more? Did the two of them ever have beef?

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

yeah but she's a tough broad. she'd chew up caroline and spit her out. nevertheless the pole dancer comment is very funny.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

"Did the two of them ever have beef?"

never. it was all hugs kisses and mutual appreciation until the very end. trump really should have second guessed himself when randall made an ass of himself like that.

This is wrong. He obviously is a smart guy. I would have done the same thing. He now works for Trump. Its his job to help Trump make good decisions. He believed that she was not the quality that Trump needed for the position, so he didnt want to give what he thought was bad advice to Donald. Instead of saying all this after the fact that he had won, he simply made it seem like there should only be one winner since it is called "The Apprentice". He didnt want to rub it in to Rebecca after winning in front of tons of people because that would make him look like an ass, so he blamed it on the show rules, which wouldnt come across nearly as bad. The guys a genius IMO.

Re: I\'ll tell you who wins the apprentice...
 

I saw it coming when trump said "This makes my decision easy" after they picked different projects. Then Randall screwed it all up.

interesting read - i wonder how much of this, if any, was discovered by Trump/NBC during the background check.

If you call genius destroying your rep in two seconds of television time.

Two choices here, hire her or don't hire her.

Choice 1 - Hire Her. What do you lose? A bit of glory. Everyone already knows you "won". Allowing her to also get a job will take nothing away from you. She's going to have a different job than you. By being magnanimous, you enhance your nice guy rep, everyone already loves you, now they really will because you did the right thing.

Choice 2 - Don't Hire Her. Upside is all the glory. You already had that. Downside is huge. You worked for weeks to build a nice guy image. Now, even if you are correct, you appear like a dick. If you had merely won, no one would remember you in a few years. Now, everyone will remember you as the dick who wouldn't hire her when the boss clearly wanted to.

Sometimes there's a choice between being correct and doing the right thing. He might have been correct, but clearly, it wasn't the right thing to do. You only need to read the Apprentice message boards to know how much he destroyed his rep in just a few seconds. Reputations take a lifetime (or 13 weeks) to build and seconds to destroy. No amount of rationalization or explaining will ever get that back.

i've never watched this show but, if Trump so clearly wanted to hire the woman, why didn't he offer her the job in the first place? or why didn't he overrule the guy when he said there should only be one hire?

Let me get this straight, you think that winning gets them a super job from Donald Trump, but the person who comes in 2nd is incapable of getting a good job that pays $250k a year? If these people aren't good enough to get real jobs, Trump is never going to let them do anything either.

Why would he want to be forgotten? Who cares if people view him as a little bit of a hardass, he got a lot of attention for that move from people who never watch the show and that is a definite positive for his career. Who said being a little bit of an [censored] was a bad trait for the head of a company? The fact is, he made the smart move, she wouldn't have been a good hire.

Randall was clearly the better candidate on paper. Five degrees, including Ph.D from MIT, Rhodes scholar, runs his own consulting firm, everybody loved him. Minority, winning record, it would be hard NOT to hire him. But Rebecca was clearly a good candidate, no slouch with an economics degree from U. of Chicago, the toughest economics program in the country. And she did almost the entire competition on a broken ankle, while never losing her cool. At 23, she's clearly a superstar, but hasn't had the chance to accumulate the credentials a 34 year-old has. Candidates like her and Randall don't come along every day, so if you have the chance, you would take two.

Clearly he could have overruled if he chose. But on TV, the clock is everything and they just ran out of time. Plus, it was an unprecidented move, so I just think he gave him the choice, fully expecting he would say hire her too. On the Today show, Trump said 99% of people would have made the offer, so clearly he was surprised.

Being a hardass is one thing, being a dick is another. And clearly you don't understand the value of good publicity. Lots of people can do a particular job, being liked will often get you that job.

You're absolutely right, but if you spend half a year trying to get one job, you would probably prefer that to any old job that pays the same amount.

So because 99% of people would have made the move that makes it correct?

99% of people are successful business owners?
