Keep in mind two things:

A. Jason (the project manager) did not give Sam anything substantive to do during that time--it was Jason's responsibility to keep Sam occupied during that time.

B. Mr. Trump explained in no uncertain terms that the project manager would be held at least partially responsible for the failure of the losing team.

Granted, while Sam lying in the fetal position on national TV didn't present him in the most positive light during the competition, it was, all things considered, by far the lesser of three evils. Jason, while much more likable and sociable, failed as project manager for neglecting to execute a critical aspect of the project and thus deserved to be eliminated.

Again, the elimination is not based on trivial personal axes to grind, it is about business and professional saavy, which is why I like this reality show over others.

Sorry, but I got to be candid on this matter.
