It was a wise decision by Trump. I think Bill outperformed Kwame by far and wide in this excellent (and long) finale. Omarosa (not surprisingly) fooked up Kwame's project, even though he wasn't performing that well in the first place. Anybody else watch the Apprentice and have any comments?

Not firing Omarosa was Kwame's big problem. Other than that, I think he did exceptional.

Bill was great as well, and it was funny how the support among the six "employees" and the two advisers, George and Caroline, were split down the middle.

Mr. Trump would be wise to give a few of the would-be apprentices job offers.

Ugh, what Trump really needs to do is learn how to not make it so bloody obvious that he's reading right off the cue cards.

Bill won't make a single big decision with his new position...he'll only be used to promote/advertise the project I have a feeling...

I was pleased that Bill won. Seemed like a real gogetter.

Whether he actually gets to make decisions? I don't know. Either way, he's got seed money for his next cigar biz.

I was hoping Kwame would pull it together, Omarosa totally screwed the deal though. Oh well the better man one I guess.

Also, with all the money and projects Trump has going on I think the last thing on his mind is his hair. Clearly it's not stopping him from making money.

I can't imagine he will. There's probably 20 mid-level mangers on a building project like that. After all, he's a cigar salesman not an expert on building high-rises.

I can't believe that Omarosa is not being questioned for FLAT-OUT LYING on national TV. How that girl could have any credibility is beyond me.

Trump told Bill he'd have "plenty of supervision." Yeah, I bet.

Also, don't underestimate the extent to which the producers are manipulating things behind the scenes. Yeah, Omarosa "just happened" to whisk Jessica away and ignore her walkie-talkie moments before Trump arrived. Just like a few weeks ago that couple "just happened" to change their mind and rent that reception hall for 40 grand less than a minute before time expired.

I'm not saying the whole thing is staged, but I got the sense the producers definitely decide what curveballs to throw into the mix, and when.

Yeah, me too.

I had the same feeling throughout the entire final episode. The signs just happened to be thrown into the dumpster? There just happened to be a 90 minute frost-delay? There just happened to be an extra 150 people coming to the Jessica Simpson Meet & Greet? Right.

I have a feeling a lot of it was staged for entertainment purposes as well as to "test" the candidates.

I think you're absolutely right about that.

I knew it, God and/or Mother Nature are in on this scam too, eh?

I did think the last minute, $40k rental offer was a bit fishy though.

it's entirely possible that the grounds crew may have normally EXPECTED frost for this time of year, and planned accordingly. It's entirely possible that no one from the ground crew/regular management TOLD Bill to expect the frost, so he was left scrambling to readjust the schedules.

More like the frost wasn't really a big deal, but they made it out to be one, anyway.

Then again, I'm not a golfer and I know next to nothing about "golfer frost",

It can be. I've gone out early before just to be held up by frost for a couple of hours.

When it's gone they try to get everyone off as soon as possible by staggering the starts over several holes. Not a big deal when it's just hackers, but when you're running a tournament where scores are important it can be a logistical nightmare.
