for some reason i thought last night was going to be the season finally. i guess it is next week. tana is going to win.

If she doesn't royally screw the pooch...

It looks like both of them are having issues.

But what I really would like to know, is exactly how much they are running the show? They have 2 days max to pull this event out, I'm sorry that is just not reasonable to do with events this size. So what I would like to know is that are they running the setup/day off ops and everything else is in place.

I picked everyone who was going to be on their individual teams....WOW

Tana also needs to keep her mouth shut about her employee to the main bosses, that is not good in the business world, you may not like your teammates, but they are there for a reason and you need to have the ability to bring the best out of them or you're screwed. That was her first mistake. One of many, that I am sure will follow

and I want Tana to win.

I am so glad that they finally got rid of Craig. It's interesting that every single one of them agreed that Craig should be the one to go.

I think Tana's event seems much easier to manage than Kendra's. Tana's location is pretty much already set up for her whereas Kendra is having to deal with transforming that basement into something presentable.

I hope Kendra wins b/c Tana really annoys me but I think it'll probably end up being Tana.

Tana needs to learn the old Navy chief's adage: "praise in public, damn in private". As George already informed her... you gotta work with what's been given you... even if some of her ex-teammates were problem children. They work for you - if they can't do the job, they're off the task.

I believe the final two contestants (no matter which season) had at least 2 or 3 weeks to prepare for the final task. There is no way in hell these kiddos are able to come up with something this major in 48 hours and pull it off. I believe all the editing just makes it look like it was done in 2 days unless the final two contestants made like Flight of the Bumblebee.

Well, on Kendra's side, at the first meeting with the "client," comments were made that the "event" was in 24 hours. I don't think there's any 2 weeks. Unrealistic as it seems, it really appears to be 2 days or so.

She is from *my* neck of the woods...

Des Moines Register Article about Tana Goertz

She does seem pretty cool.

Her husband is a bit of a goofball weather guy though.

Who do y'all think is going to become the next Apprentice?

I would like for Tana to win, but I think Kendra has it.

It seems like the editors were trying to make Tana look like a gossiping manager. I DT wants to hire a college grad but wants to do it without the backlash of the show's fans saying he only hired Kendra because of her degree. If the editors make Tana look like she has poor management skills, people won't question DT's pick of Kendra.

Methinks Kendra has it pretty much sewn up. Again, Tana stuck her foot in her mouth by damning her team members within earshot of the powers-that-be. Praise in public, damn in private.

Since it came down to the final three, I thought that Tana had it in the bag. However, tonight her performance was less than stellar. I don't know if it was the matter of her trying to manage what seemed like a lot bigger event, poor management of the 'difficult employees' a combo of those two or just plain suckiness, but I was not impressed with her at all tonight. I've been hoping that she'd win this whole thing.

Kendra's task seemed to go really well, but she still annoys the living crap outta me. Please stop crying. That bickering and fighting thing that she and Craig had going on to me showed that she can't handle someone being critical to her. I'm not saying that Craig criticized her in a constructive or helpful way, but in the real world not all criticism is constructive either.

It'll be interesting to see what the employees and the parade of other people he asks to help 'make' his decision have to say.

Kendra's going to win.

That's exactly what I said to my husband. :)

I think that Tana's "employees" are going to rip her a new one when they're in the boardroom, and that's what's going to get Tana.
