Randall wins - but is he selfish?
Last nights finale of the Apprentice sure has stirred a lot of debate. After both tasks ended somewhat successfully, although both had problems, Randall and Rebecca came to the live boardroom for the final decision by Mr. Trump.
Both competitors argued quite vehemently for their cause. In fact, at one point it looked as if they would both spit they were so worked up. I found it to be over the top and almost unpleasant to watch these two professional work themselves up into a frenzy. At one point it seemed that Trump had had enough when he told Randall, “Ok, that is enough”.
With the exception of Toral, all the former candidates seemed to support Randall – ok, I stand corrected on my previous comments about Toral and Rebecca!
Many people had the feeling that Trump would hire both of them, and when they each choose separate tasks, it really appeared to be heading that way. In the final moments however, Trump told Randall, “Your hired!” After a few minutes of celebration, Trump brought Randall back and asked him if he should hire Rebecca as well, which I am sure, was planned out from the beginning.
At this point Randall had the chance to share the spotlight, get Trump two quality apprentices and show what he thought of Rebecca.
Did he do the right thing? Was he greedy? Is this guy’s opinion, yes. Why not hire Rebecca to? What did he have to lose? If he is that insecure about being the only one, maybe he is not the star everyone thinks he is. Actions speak louder than words and last night, Randall’s words at the end left a negative impression and showed that he is selfish.
Yes, Trump could have been more decisive on his own…..maybe he was testing Randall early.
Comments are coming in thick and fast from this unique situation. This is a first for the Apprentice and I am sure the debate will rage on for days. Here are some early comments from people:
Carol says: “Randall disappointed me in the finale. What a classless person. Both candidates were good and Trump was prepared to hire them both. But Randall showed that he was greedy.”
Moon says: “Randall wanted all the glory for himself and instead of showing himself to be a magnanimous person and telling Trump to hire her, he strongly shot down the idea.”
And more from Molly: “I agree with Carol and Moon. Randall showed his true colors tonight. What a disappointment. He’ll always be the selfish insecure winner. Low class and self-centered”
But Peg says: “To all of the angry haters out there commenting that Randal is the wrong man for the job, and have the nerve to say he has no class, just because he didn’t want to share his limelight… let’s not forget, he clearly earned his win”
And more from mzzzrich: “Trump finally hires someone other than a white male and he’s expected to share the limelight, I think not.”
