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

Not the same situation at all. Comparing this to sporting events, which even Randal is doing to justify his move, clearly doesn't work. This isn't a co-championship, it's a completely separate position. There is another opening. You've worked closely with the person, you have said you respect and admire this person, this person has helped you get where you are. You get the position, but Big Boss says, we have another slot in the organization, should we hire this person you say you respect and admire? You say, basically, hell no, I got mine, this is my moment.

Dick move.

It's not just another opening, though, it's a position that would have been equivalent to his in power and prestige. After he beats her out, he doesn't want to have to compete with her all over again for Trump's attention and interest, during those first few critical months working for him. That would defeat the whole point of becoming "the apprentice".
