Next on the Apprentice – Randal or Rebecca?
Don’t miss the live two hour finale tomorrow night!! Lay your wagers here, who is going to win…..and why!!??
Here is a brief recap of what has happened to get us here:
In the last episode, Trumps latest surprise came when he unexpectedly fired Alla and announced to Randal and Rebecca that they were the last two! In classic Trump style he added yet another twist to this seasons already unpredictable moments.
That evening, Randal and Rebecca had a sushi dinner with George and (my favorite) Carolyn. After some back and forthing the two final candidates choose their team members for their final tasks. Rebecca ended up with James, Chris and Toral while Randal got Josh, Mark and Marshawn. The producers of the show wanted some fireworks and they got them with these selections! Rebecca and Toral are especially interesting since they never got along and had the big blowout over wearing the Dairy Queen costume earlier in the season.
The next day, Mr. Trump gave the two their final tasks. Randal was assigned management of the Outback Steakhouse VIP Softball Challenge and Rebecca had to manage the Yahoo! All-Star Comedy Benefit. Both events will raise money for charities. Shortly thereafter, the teams were formed as the rest of the previous “firees” joined Randal and Rebecca in the boardroom.
Both teams set to the task at hand and team loyalty was surprisingly strong as the events raised some personal feeling for some members. Josh, was especially affected by the autism statistics and this inspired him to try extra hard, while Randal become wrapped up in the details.
At this point, Rebecca’s team is doing the better job of overall coordination and when Mark misses his appointment with a softball commentator Randals team falls behind even more. You would have thought they learned from previous shows! More concerns surfaced when Randals team got behind during set-up for the event. As in previous finales, it seemed that one person got stuck doing the dirty work. In this case it was Mark, trying to set up the tents all by himself.
Leading into the finale, we learn that Joe Piscopo may have to cancel his appearance for Rebecca, while the good weather that Randall “guaranteed” appears to be changing….
Ok, so who is going to win? This will be one tough choice for The Donald, maybe the toughest he has had yet.
Did you know that Rebecca was named “One of the 20 teens who will change the world? By Teen People Magazine in 2000. She was awarded a Point of Light award by President Clinton and graduated from the University of Chicago with degrees in economics and pre-law.
Randal brings to the table five academic degrees in engineering, business and technology. A B.S. from Rutgers, and M.S from Oxford and an M.S. M.B.A and PHD from MIT……boy that is a lot of letters!
To add to the intrigue, Trump has been criticized for hiring mostly white males. Hiring Randal would help with that criticism and he won both times he was a project manager. Rebecca is equally qualified although the fact that she lost both times as a project manager makes the final task very important. She has to outshine Randal in a big way to win, if both tasks are somewhat equal the edge goes to Randal.
The way things are looking right now, Rebecca might just have a shot!
