Tonight Trumph crowned Randal as the Apprentice. And as my wife predicted last week Trumph was ready to hire both Randal and Rebbeca. But when Donald asked Randal if he thought Rebecca should also be hired ... well, Randal said something like, "there should be only 1 apprentice!"
I think that was a poor decision on Randal's part and it seemed that even Trumph was take aback as he asked Randal if he was sure. It'll certainly generate a lot of media buzz tomorrow and I'm interested to her more from Randal on why he wasn't willing to share the limelight. I totally agree that Randal is an excellent pick, but come on dude...share the love!
my prior apprentice posts here here and last year
Anyone else looking forward to the next season of 24 ... it's the only show that I truly look forward to and the only TV show that I fire up the surround sound system for. Now if only I had an HD over-the-air tuner/antenna. The fun begins Jan 15th!
It was tacky of him for sure! I think he lost a lot of respect from viewers. it turns out that his so called loyal caring attitude and upstanding guy thing was just a ploy to get the win. Shame on him! He only lost respect for that move and gained nothing. Rebecca should not have been at the whim of his poor winner attitude. Trump showed a real lack of leadership in taking that kind of attitude from Randall. He should have politely disagreed and brought her on anyway!

GREAT SEASON.. HEY TRUMP MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!
Both were great candidates... Trump wanted to hire both candidates, primarily because HE REALLY LIKED REBECCA!
HE Was LOOKING for a reason to hire her. Randal was justifiable in saying no. He was honest even though it wasn't popular. Im Sure Trump will Get Rebecca in his organization, PRIMARILY because he likes her LOYALTY. Anyone who reads his books knows he like loyalty.

Black men usually favor "brothers" and "sisters." Had Rebecca been African-American, I have no doubt that Randal would have encouraged Trump to hire her as well. Instead, Randal indulged his considerable racism and revealed himself to be so incredibly and foolishly selfish.

For heaven’s sake! By what factual basis is Rebecca equal or nearly equal to Randal in management ability or competence? Those of you who think that Rebecca is on the same level as Randal either have very low standards or didn’t watch all 13 episodes.
Rebecca lost every task in which she was PM, except the one where she was in a 2-person team with Randal and he was instrumental in helping her to win that task. Not to mention that the last task was about raising money for the charity and not only did Rebecca not raise ANY money, but at the event her charity got one measly sign and an envelope in the gift bag! That’s it. Randal’s sponsor told him not to ask the bigwigs for money too but he ignored them. Also, her team once traded her because she was a weak player. ------- If you can ignore all those facts and still look at someone with such a terrible performance record and say they are equal to someone like Randal who was UNDEFEATED as PM, then it’s clear you are full of crap.
Then you say that “Randal would have lost nothing by hiring Rebecca.” Give me a break – he would have lost his self-respect. Since no other apprentice winner was asked that question, it was inappropriate to ask Randal, especially for such an inferior opponent. Also, Randal wasn’t hired as VP of Trump’s Personnel Department. If Trump still thought Rebecca was pretty enough to hire despite her losing record, then he was free to hire her after the show. It was inappropriate for him to raise the matter when he did.
The only reason Rebecca was in the finale was because Trump went on a firing rampage this season and fired all of Randal’s real competition. She made it to the final 2 by sheer luck, not ability.
