Great Summary.

Jennifer's theft of Ivana's idea was awesome. I think that actually impressed me more than anything else. Makes me wonder if Trump watches any of the footage or not.

Kelly switched teams and Apex won even though he didn't seem to contribute. Massive points for Kelly. Ivana actually did contribute. I might actually like her for the finals if it wasn't for the spacey remarks. Fem-bot comments were awesome.

Kevin did his best to try and screw up Apex's chances but even his profuse sweating wasn't as bad as the "Maria Show". As soon as she started dominating the project I had flashbacks of the earlier task where she couldn't handle being on TV. Is it just me or have all the candidates given horrible presentations. With the exception of Andy, Kelly, and possibly Jen. They either talk too much or treat the customers like idiots.

Don't like Andy. The guy's way to smug for his own good. I think his questioning and non-answers are starting to wear thin on The Donald. Frankly I don't think I would want a debate champion working for me anyway. He would be too busy blaming everyone else and on CYA patrol to run the project. Unfortunately for Jen the same holds true for lawyers.

Not wearing Levis=STUPID. Wes barely survived the dog contest so he was living on borrowed time anyway. Probably a good worker but a poor leader.

Billy Joel did look like crap. I didn't even recognize him at first. Hey I'm a fan of his work but after Mosiac wins 50 grand I would be pissed with the reward. "Take risk, the more risk the greater reward" Revolutionary.

Apex and their caboose centric campaign take it home.

LOL. I definitely agree that the summations here are better than the show. But I still think it's the most fun show on tv. (After watching the first Amazing Race, I was disgusted with the quality of the contestants --professional wrestlers, playboy bunnies, Jerry Springer types, Apprentice remains #1 on on my very short list of shows I actually watch.)

For being beautiful, stupid, narcissistic, self-defeating and egotistical, I hereby award Maria the first annual Omarosa trophy. Wes made a huge mistake sending Kelly to the other team. In business, smart execs are always looking for even smarter employees to insure the company's success. For offing his strongest team member, Wes gets the coveted Wuss award (formerly held by Annan and Chirac). I had hopes for Jennifer all along, but this performance was so typically lawyerly -- underhanded and non-creative-- I'm sure she'll be trundling back to Dewey, Cheatem & Howe very soon.

Kelly, as someone mentioned, gets the "Being There" prize for just showing up on the winning team. Sometimes that's enough -- a positive presence changes others' attitudes without the positive person actually doing much. In a subtle way, it's a quality of leadership, and an important one. Recalling his creativity on the first clothing-design competition, I would say that had Kelly remained with Wuss's team, they might have won.

Andy continues to hold his own, though I was surprised that he didn't contribute more creative ideas, as his tv commercial for NYPD was simply stunning. But his inexperience is going to catch up with him. He won't win, but he'll be one of the last two or three. (I like this kid so much, someone called me "Andy's Mom.")

Kevin? He has strengths, but too many weaknesses, he'll say bye-bye soon though sweat aside, he did a bang-up job this time. Ivana as well. I've enjoyed watching her struggles, but her head is very close to the block. Both K & I are bright, likable, talented, energetic, full of real potential, but need much more polish. If I'm forgetting someone, it's because they're forgettable. Oh yeah, Sandy. Outside the bridal biz, she's pretty ho-hum.

I've said it before: this game is Kelly's to lose.
