After 15 episodes of The Apprentice, it’s down to the final two, Tana and Kendra. While my enthusiasm for Tana has abated a bit after last week’s bedazzler fiasco, I still find Tana fitting the role of Trump’s VP better than Kendra. Tana has more polished and professional language than Kendra, who tends to use ambiguous words like “stuff”. Tana, however, seems a bit lacking in the creative department lately.
In the last assignment, I couldn’t fathom why Kendra wasn’t at the meeting with Best Buy executives, leaving Danny the unfocused goofball in charge. To her credit, she recovered gracefully. Her biggest issue right now is the PS2 ballroom, err… I mean basement, so things don’t look rosey. On Tana’s side, I cringed when she gave executive power to each of the Three Stooges for acting on her behalf. That’s silly. Sure, they can make decisions, but the Project Manager needs to oversee these decisions. Judging from the preview, we should expect a fire drill as Brian takes his newfound anarchy too far and becomes out of control.
Tana’s stock has been dropping while Kendra’s has been rising, but neither candidate has it all. If we combine the best of Tana, the professionalism, and the best of Kendra, the smarts, only then can we end up with the perfect apprentice…
… Kenna!
