Don't know about more feminine, but yes the tasks seemed to be tailored, and neither one seemed to have the, say, importance of the tasks the last 2 seasons -- supervising construction of a high-rise in Chicago and of a golf course. One was pageant planning (with a professional at your side) and the other was overseeing the renovation of a house (a very big house, but a house). Neither task screamed "I have a lot of confidence in you."

And I didn't think Tana looked bad for demanding credit for her design -- Trump would have done the same thing. Kendra had taken complete credit, as Trump pointed out. Kendra was the one who came off looking bad there.

What I found interesting was Trump saying he didn't like it that Kendra cried, after he told her in the boardroom (last week) that it was okay to cry.

But the bottom line is that Tana screwed herself. Kendra showed absolutely no leadership skills at all until the last task, where she was great. In fact, in the Pontiac task, she showed an abysmal lack of leadership skills. Trump, George and Carolyn all criticized her for "flying under the radar."

Tana, on the other hand, showed fantastic leadership skills until the last task (well, okay, until the Beadazzler fiasco), when she choked and made the huge mistake of constantly knocking her team. Had it not been for that, Tana would have won, I think.
