Well, there you have it. Kelly and Jen. Wish they'd shown more of the interviews, as any aspiring job candidate watching the show would have learned much from them. Such tough questions!

Thanks to the miracle of tv editing, both Kelly and Jen are so far doing perfectly lousy jobs with their all-important last tasks. Kelly is micromanaging to the extent that he has no clue where everyone is. Jen is locked into her typical avoidance pattern. But I remember Bill Rancic micromanaging to the max as well, and it gave him the win.

Is Kelly as skillful? Will Jen get a grip? Will their teams cooperate? It's anyone's guess. I vote for Kelly based on past performance and the business-gurus' post-interview estimations.

Whatcha think?

Notice how Trump set Kelly up to win. He gave him the event with the wealthier contributors. He gave him first choice of who to hire and thus he avoided Stacy R. Kelly's micromanaging is probably a good thing for this competition due to the fact that the fired candidates don't really care who wins. At first I thought Kelly had a far superior team to Jen's. Seeing John slacking off and not doing anything brought back images of Amarosa last year losing Jessica Simpson for Kwame. Unlike Kwame's situation last year where he had a loyal Troy to back him up John led all Kelly's help to slack off with him. I was hoping Kelly would have the opportunity to choose Sandy. Driven by getting revenge on Jen she would have been a good addition. If I'm any of the fired candidates I'm working extra hard so that any major company that sees me knows they can expect me to do a good job and be a professional. It is an opportunity to advertise your services and send a televised letter of introduction to any potential employers out there. Anyone who would hire John now has to ask themselves about how hard a worker he really is.

The fact that Trump picked Jen because she defended herself well just lowers my estimation of him further. Two weeks ago he praised Sandy for how well she defended herself from Andy. Around this same time he was chastising the PM's for letting Jen keep slipping by. How can things have turned around so dramatically? Jen out-screamed Sandy what does that prove about how well you can defend yourself? He really picked Jen because he couldn't have someone without the "proper" education running one of his companies. Same for Troy last year.

Does anyone know why Kelly chose Elizabeth over Pamela?

I am with you on Kelly. Like I said before in the Final Two task a clear win is a must. Trump is looking at how well they do under stress and working well with adversarial employees and keeping people motivated. This should be very interesting.

This is also a chance for the former contestants to shine but from what I have seen John, Raj, Lil Stacy, etc it doesn’t look like they have learned a whole lot since they been fired. Unlike last year where Troy was doing everything in his power to make sure Kwame won. Raj’s ego is beyond belief.
