WTF they are turning this into a talk show now? Did Donald say next hour, this shit is going to go on for 3 hours I was expecting a new episode of ER. SCREW YOU DONALD AND YOUR RACIST SHOW. First you refuse to hire the most quailfied person,THE BLACK MAN, Kwami last year then this year you kicked off the most quailified person, SUPRISE, SUPRISE, ANOTHER BLACK MAN, Kevin. But bumping my ER is the straw that broke the camels back. Oh wait I just realized, THERE'S A BLACK MAN ON ER. I see through you Trump, "like the water that runs down my drain."

Please...somebody ban this joke character. We went through this with Omarosa and Kwame, we went through it with Chip and Kim, and now we're going through it with this.

Let me guess...Troy amd Amy got to speak from Season 1 on their opinion, but Kwame didn't! RACISM!

Pamela rolled her eyes at Omarosa's comments? RACIST!

Regis kept saying Omarosa's name really weird? RACIST!

Every time a black person does not get their way does not mean racism was involved. Racism is a serious thing, but the act of ignoring it is nearly overshadowed by overusing the term in these issues that are clearly not racism.

Seriously, I'm sick and tired of reading these threads about these shows and hearing this bullshit. This is not racism, you're reading into it far too much, and I seriously think that you need to give it a rest.

On other notes...

Regis HAD to be there, if they wanted to milk it to three hours, because Trump did a TERRIBLE job last year with the hosting. He can converse with the contestants, but him and an audience just doesn't work. Regis is more natural in a host role, so it worked much better than last year's reunion. Better production, better audience, better location...

Outcome was eventual...no big surprises involved, at all.

Jen is worthless.
Kelly deserved the position.

Jen made the point of never being brought into the board room and always being among the best on her losing teams, but she stayed out of the board room by being so very low key.

And being the best of the losers is nothing compared to being the best of the winners, which Kelly usually was.

Jen acts like a child and should be treated as one. Amarosa was wrong that respect > being liked. You'll never end up happy that way and you'll never get to the top that way. People like Donald and that is why he is where he is.

I think Jen was an obvious choice for top the top two.

Jen is the poster child for a lot of what goes on in the business world. A place where it's not what you do, but what you make management think you do that is important. She had a talent for stepping up into the light when she was on the winning team and with ninja like skill hiding in the shadows in defeat. Its not an easy thing to pull off. I give her kudos for that. I think her being there shows that they succeeded in emulating the corporate environment.


I just dont know how she could bring up how Kelly was talking behind her back like Donald was Dr Phil or something. It just shows weekness.
 
That last hour was annoying. It was just a Kelly love-fest. It might have been more interesting last year when the contestants were more evenly matched. Regardless the talk show format was highly irritating and I hope it isn't repeated next season.

Also I agree they need to slow down, there's no need to start another season a month from now. Allow people to actually build up some anticipation.

You have showed time and time again you are sexist so your opinion doesn't matter. Fact. Jennifer was great and she may not have stepped up as a leader as much but she had far more intelligence than that laid back robot ever could.

I have been incredibly inspired by her performance in last week's boardroom. The top 4 etc. It is obvious why she makes a great lawyer. Just incredible. Stuff on tv hardly ever amazes me like the way she displayed herself.

ShadowRed, just stop being ridiculous.

I've hated Jen ever since she took credit for Ivana's Levi's fit wheel idea. Well, I think I hated her before that for weaseling her way out of boardrooms. I'm glad Kelly won.

Being great in the boardroom doesn't make a person a great leader. And it's not debating when one is simply yelling louder than the other. All Jen did was raise her voice and speak baselessly against Kelly. Again... That isn't debate.

It's like when Donald said that Andy got out-debated by the girls... He didn't. They yelled louder, but they didn't win in the arena of ideas. It's disturbing that Donald let's the loudest baby win. I'm glad he took the advice of pretty much every credible CEO and chose Kelly over Jen.

Actually, I thought Sandy did out-debate Andy in his last boardroom.

Anyway, Kelly got results but Jen did seem more passionate though a bit cold. On the other hand, I think robotic is the perfect adjective for Kelly. I was struggling to pin down who he reminded me of then I finally got it: Data, from Star Trek the Next Generation.

I'd rather a robotic winner who can produce consistant results than a passionate loser who nobody seems to really like.

Y'know, besides his huge ego The Donald actually seems like a really nice guy in real life.
