And another apprentice wanna-be bites the dust...
Tana disappointed me this week. I guess I spoke too soon when I praised her performance in the last episode. Abandoning her team because she needed her beauty sleep? Under normal circumstances I'm the first to say pace yourself, maintain a good work/life balance, stay healthy, don't burn yourself out or your team. But these aren't normal circumstances. These people choose to compete against 16 other "type A" personalities on national TV to be "The Donald's" apprentice. They watched the first two seasons. They knew what to expect. They all had to know there'd need to be some all-nighters. Come ON! And to actually state that she's willing to hide behind her immunity so she can get a little rest - in other words, willing for her team to fail because she know she can't be fired... so sad. I'm thinking the stamina is starting to wane. I'm sure it must be exhausting. But you gotta want it. The person who wants it bad enough is going to be the one who wins.
Kendra on the other hand surprised me. I still think she's whiney, but she got it done, and did a damn fine job. She oughtta be proud. But while I do agree she was completely abandoned by her team for the night, she also appeared to have a selective memory when it came to acknowledging what contributions her team members had made earlier in the day. And I think she probably could have done more to rally her team and pep them up and keep them going longer but instead chose to direct that energy into assuming the martyr role. But hey - in the end - they won the task so it's all moot.
Next, Craig: There WAS a vision and a theme - it was EMOTION. Duh! I got it it. The Pontiac dudes got it. Get with the program. You can't say that there wasn't one just because it didn't happen to be yours or because it wasn't a theme you liked. How quickly he seemed to forget his own run as PM where his team abandoned him because they thought his "box" idea was lame.
And as for Chris - it would appear from recent events that the little message The Donald had for Chris after firing him (watch your emotions and temper) didn't sink in, huh...
To sum it up: Apprentice is still good entertainment on a thursday night.
