I actually think it's better to come in second on this show. Look at last year. Bill Rancic has to work for Trump, and be toted out like a dancing monkey whenever Trump says so. He's owned by him. Kwame? He made his own multi-million dollar business deal doing exactly what he wanted to do.

Look at American Idol...Kelly had to make that ridiculous movie.."From Justin to Kelly" and make appearances at malls. Some of the runners up have albums out, with their own music doing much better than the winners. I'd rather not be owned by anyone. But that's just me.

You're right. Kelly from idol has a fantastic voice and was forced into terrible marketing.

Jen has had great exposure from this. She is very capable and attractive to top it off. She will do well.

I thought Kelly to be more of a follower than a leader. Trump even said so himself in his last few words before hiring him. ??? (not sure of his ability to lead) He was more unsure and manipulative than assertive.

I thought especially funny was when he told Roger and the other two after giving them a task, "thanks, I love you guys." They laughed at him.

Great point.

I wonder if anyone has made an issue yet that the white male keeps winning the executive job, not the black guy (Kwame, Kevin) or the blonde chick (Amy, Jen, Sandy).

I really hated the way they piled on for Kelly during the live segment. It made me feel bad for Jen who was just as qualified (I would have chosen Kelly too but I probably would have tried to find a way to hire both). I appreciated the one contestant who spoke out about throwing Jen under the bus. Her personality might not have been great but part of that is lawyer training. She didn't deserve to be trashed.
