Title: Apprentice Finale
Post by: GigaShadow on April 16, 2004, 04:17:58 AM
Well, Bill won - can\'t blame Trump for picking him.  Though I think the organzing the celebrity golf event was much easier than putting together that Jessica Simpson concert.

Omarosa screwed Kwami... I knew he should have fired that bitch!  If he would have fired her he might have won.  I can\'t believe she disappeared with Jessica right when Trump and Kwami were coming in to meet her!  I like how Trump talked to them all afterward as a group and he cut Omarosa off and the then Erika said she would have loved to have fired Omarosa and the whole audience cheered.  That woman is hated!     :laughing:

Even though you could tell Donald was reading from the teleprompter it was a decent show.

IMO, Omarosa is the only reason Kwame lost. From what they showed, Kwame handled all of the situations well and when his troops screwed up he went in and come up with great solutions. Bill didn\'t have the same kind of problems that Kwame had because he seemed to give his team really menial tasks and tried to micro-manage those tasks on top of his own work. That works for some events but in the long run you\'ll end up burning yourself out.

Going into the finale I thought that Bill was the better Apprentice but after watching how Kwame acted under pressure I thought he would be much better.

Kwame will be fine though. He won\'t have any trouble finding a great job with his Harvard MBA, and his Wall Street(Merrill Lynch?) work experience.

I want to believe that they told Omarosa to act that way to test Kwame\'s mettle because I don\'t want to accept that someone can be that incompetent and unapologetic. Its mind boggling that anyone would even give her a job interview after this show.

I think he worked for Goldman Sachs - it was a firm much better than Merril Lynch.  Kwami did handle things well - especially the meet and greet - I just think he relied too much on incompetent people such and Omarosa and his so called best friend Troy.  

I think she really is as incompetent as she came across.  She was fired from 4 jobs at the White House and apparently is a habitual liar.  Some people just aren\'t cut out for the work force and she is apparently one of them.  I agree though if it wasn\'t for Omarosa he probably would have won.  I was impressed by how cool he remained even when there were some major snafu\'s.

He has the KFC deal which will pay him $25k for two weeks worth of work (KFC promised to hire the runner up for a new marketing campaign) and I am sure job offers will come flooding in for him as the other candidates said they had received numerous offers already.

The Simpson concert was a no brainer.  What did they have to do?  Get a driver out to the airport, put together a 10am breakfast, put together a meet and great.  That\'s it.

Honestly I think if kwami would have fired Omarosa he would have won.  But then again he\'s black...

Omarosa is a political consultant.  No better job for a bitch like that.

Which job would you have picked if you were Bill?  The golf course or the tower.  I can\'t remember if he gets payed the same for doing either, if so, I would have probably picked the course.  You can\'t beat unlimited rounds of golf.  Though the tower seemed like a bigger job and more rounded for going into other job ventures.

He is from Chicago.  


I would have picked the golf course as well.

Here is some good dirt on Bill.

http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=2485


He apparently was up to be one of the Bachelors in the Bachelor show.  

He is now dating the chick who won on the bachelor who ended up breaking up with the dude from the bachelor who picked her.  His name was andrew.  

Oh wait, it was Andrew Firestone.  I remember her now.

\'Apprentice\' finalist Bill Rancic dating former \'Bachelor 3\' fiancee Jen Schefft

By Wade Paulsen, 04/15/2004

In one of the more interesting recent pieces of reality TV show gossip, Extra! and the Chicago Sun-Times report that Bill Rancic, one of the two finalists on NBC\'s The Apprentice, is dating Jen Schefft, the woman selected by Andrew Firestone as his bride-to-be on ABC\'s The Bachelor 3.

While it\'s easy for us to see why any normal, red-blooded male would be attracted to Jen, a native of Mentor, Ohio, who now lives in Chicago, her relationship with Chicago native Bill is more than a little ironic ... because, according to Extra!, Bill was a finalist to be the bachelor on The Bachelor 3. In the end, the producers ultimately picked Andrew over Bill, and Andrew subsequently picked the single life over Jen, which left both of them free for their current relationship.

Extra! also has a copy of Bill\'s audition tape for a reality TV dating show which was never produced, which it promises to make available online in the near future. In the tape, Bill says that he is "all about looks" with regard to women (no Average Jane series for him...) . The tape eventually made its way into the hands of the Bachelor 3 producers, which is how Bill ended up in consideration for the role of the bachelor until the very end.

We note that Jen may have traded in one Lothario for another. Many reports after the Andrew-Jen breakup focused on Andrew\'s continuing womanizing before, during and after his engagement to Jen, including one of the worst pick-up lines ever: "Do you get naked sometimes? I do." to a female Playboy TV reporter.

While Bill may be less of a cad than Andrew was, Apprentice finalist Katrina Campins has claimed that Bill had a post-show affair with third-place finisher Amy Henry. Meanwhile People Magazine reported that Bill got "back rubs" from another female cast member, Amy\'s friend (and former soft-core erotica star) Kristi Frank, during the show.

For her sake, we hope that Jen isn\'t going from the frying pan into the fire. Of course, if Bill were to be Donald Trump\'s choice in tonight\'s final show, he\'d have to move to New York City ... but then again, Jen has already moved from the North Coast to the West Coast in the pursuit of true love, so we don\'t see why a move to the East Coast would be much different.

Turns out Kwame (I had been spelling it wrong) is partnering up with some college friends in North Carolina to finance upscale black films.  He did work at Goldman Sachs and was offered a nice salary to come back, but declined.

In my tradition of making this thread take a left turn.

Anyone else get really annoyed with how Jessica Simpson sings? She tosses her head all around and looks whacked out.  She sang with Jewel on their little Sonny and Cher like variety show a few days ago.   She looked like a freak.

BUT, nice tits.

I personally think that managing talent and fans is more difficult than a private(?) golf tournament amongst professionals.

Agreed - like the guy sitting on Trumps right said - Celebrity golf tournaments are easy - just tell them were to go and they go.  Not too hard and the biggest dilemma Bill faced was losing a poster while Kwame lost a celebrity.

Can you guys please tell me what is hard about what they had to do with the Simpson concert?

They had to pick up the crew from the airport.  (not like they had to make the travel arangements or anything.  Just pick them up)

THey had to get together a breakfast.  (Call the freaking caterer and tell the dude you want to eat at 10am)

They had to organize a meet and greet.  (They already had the ballroom.  All they had to do was put the stantions up and form a freaking line.

There were absolutely no variables.

The frost on the course made it interesting for Bill although I agree he had it pretty easy too.
