Would someone be able to change the title to say May 12, 2005?

albertGQ · 05-12-2005, 08:57 AM

Its only an hour tonight right?

Mango · 05-12-2005, 09:16 AM

That's correct

Mango · 05-12-2005, 10:02 AM

Craig is bitter, and says he should've won:

http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/CalgarySun/S...036130-sun.html

"I don't think anybody could have done a better job than me," Craig says, adding he suspects he was let go based more on gender, than a lack of verbal skills.

"I just don't think it was my season. If I had known it was going to be the women's season, I would have picked another one to be a part of."

CaptainCrunch · 05-12-2005, 11:56 AM

Wow he must have been smoking something, I gained a ton of respect for him for the toy box idea, but beyond that, what did he really do except for sniping at Kendra, and leading a revolt on the car brochure project that had Tana and Craig both leaving thier leader high and dry.

And then he tries to talk about his plan for low cost housing in a interview, and then comes across to some very experienced CEO's of having next to no substance.

Yeah he should have won, just like I should be sleeping with Angelina Jolie, and i can't even complain that i've failed at that task because of my gender.

Jiggy_12 · 05-12-2005, 10:46 PM

I sure dislike Tana alot more after tonight. She showed a lack of class.

Kendra should win, I'd be surprised if that didn't happen.

calf · 05-12-2005, 11:01 PM

Can I switch my winner to Kendra? :yes:

I'm lovin' this girl now...not sure what it is, but she's decently cute too. Moreso than Carolyn by far

Rejean31 · 05-12-2005, 11:18 PM

My pick for Kendra to win is looking pretty good after tonight. Just wondering, is it just me, or does anyone else think Carolyn and Princess Diana may have been seperated at birth?

Ha ha totally. Their parents also gave up Wayne Gretzky for adoption at about the same time.

Same here.

Tana has really irritated be the last couple of weeks. More swearing, more cockiness. I thought she had it in the bag before, now I'll be shocked if Kendra doesn't win.

That being said, is it just me, or did Kendra's task seem a lot more simple than Tana's? Having 3 misfits working for her on the final task didn't help Tana, either.

V · 05-13-2005, 08:17 AM

Yeah, I thought Kendra's task looked way easier. That might be because of the editing though.

Tana just looked completely scatter-brained the whole task. The governer did not look impressed at all either, especially when he couldn't carry an American flag.

The boxing ring idea was a good one by Kendra. But other than that, nothing she did was really extraordinary. Just seemed like a simple task.

Kendra wins this thing easily. I think Donald has more room in his org. for a real estate tycoon than a cosmetic salesperson.

And yeah, Kendra is a little hottie. I'll take her over Carolyn any day of the week.

I totally agree, the 2012 bid had a lot more moving parts to manage than the Video Games. As they say in diving, the degree of difficulty was certainly higher for Tania. But I think after last night, Kendra wins.

Kendra's team might have fought a lot but Erin and Danny arn't completely useless, as opposed to Tana's Three Stooges. Tania at least pulled it off, although she's exhibiting that "This couldn't not have gone better" attiude that turned Alex and Bren's desk into Roadkill.

I was thinking though how the show has "branded" certain team members now and attached a stigma to them. How'd you like to be Chris, Kristen, or Brian going to an interview, knowing that you've been labled a lazy, useless employee? I smell lawsuit.

Kendra a hottie? She's all yours. Erin's mine, although I may have to fight Trump for her.

MarchHare · 05-13-2005, 09:04 AM

What was the point of not revealing the winner last night?

I can see if they wanted to leave us in suspense for next week, but does anyone at all think Kendra doesn't have this in the bag? Talk about anticlimatic.

ernie · 05-14-2005, 07:13 AM

Both tasks had the same amount of planning and work involved I think. The events were planned before they even got there the only thing Tana and Kendra had to do was decorate, figure out the schedule of things, figure out their own little twist, get things to run on time, and make people happy (in Kendra's case she had to make sponsors happy and Tana had to make athletes/governor happy). They were about even work wise I think. The difference between the two performances were that Kendra had some unhappy people 24 hours BEFORE the event but happy 12 hours before and afterwards while Tana had people unhappy before, during, and after. Not only that she completely and repeatedly blew off the dignitary of the event (the governor of his staff), and compeltely screwed up what should have been the souvenir from the event: the program (and it didn't look like that mistake got fixed any better than pulling the souvenir from distribution). It would have been like Kendra p*ssing off Sony (which see would have done had she not addressed the concerns PS had the day before).

Basically it looked like as I was expecting the final task to look like...Tana running around like a chicken with its head cut off annoying people, stumbling through the task, and being by and large unprofessional while Kendra looked calm, cool, collected, ORGANIZED, and PROFESSIONAL.

Even based on all the tasks Kendra should win (even with not getting along with Craig who I think precipitated every run in they had). She's just smarter, more creative, more organized and more professional than Tana. It shouldn't even be close. Trump should open the live reveal by telling Tana "it doesn't matter what you say............Kendra you're hired." Unless the editing was completely biased (and they've always seemed to be quite fair detainling ahppy/unhappy clients before on this show) it should be a slam dunk.

I agree with Jiggy here.

Ever since Tana pulled one on Kendra back at the task when they were making the advertisement for the car Tana has gone down hilll.

Kendra is a bit of a brat, but she has a lot more fire than Tana and should get the job.

If and when Kendra does win I think she would be the right choice looking back at all 18 of the candidates.

moon · 05-14-2005, 10:24 AM

Kendra definately deserves to win but looking back at the 18 candidates this season was really weak compared to the first two. I think there were many more qualified people that lost on previous seasons than any one this year.

Agreed. They really seemed to manipulate this one with the street vs book smarts theme. I think in the end the talent of street smarts people is going to be a pretty shallow pool compared to the book smarts people. And then they really seemed to go out of their way to cast some artsy/unfocused people on the book smarts team and overly agrressive people on the street smarts team...they looked and cast stereotypes instead of those people who may actually be good at a job.

I do think Kendra would have held her own in the other series though based on what we've seen of her performances as project manager. I'm not sure about Tana. She looked good the first 2/3 of the season with some of the non-contenders still in plae but the last third when the competitors as a whole were the better quality people she did not shine at all while Kendra did.

Though Kendra is a bit emotional......
