So Kendra won!
I'm a little confused, though. It came out last night that Tana came up with the round design of the Pontiac brochure. But they showed Kendra suggesting including a CD and Tana shot that idea down. I thought the round design was to accomodate a CD. :shrug:

Trump pissed me off my making such a big deal of Kendra crying, especially after he was so moved when Chris started crying. I thought she had a great response, though, about how a 300-pound football player will also cry sometimes.

And it looked to me like Kendra's strategy of "laying low" in the beginning was a smart one, since the project managers were getting fired week after week.

I think they were just making stuff up about Kendra so that Trump's consideration would look balanced. Tana's behavior last night made it clear who the better candidate was, in my opinion.

1. I feel for Kendra in that Tana's implosion was so spectacular
it almost takes away from how truly terrific Kendra was. I think Kendra would have in fact received more praise but they didn't want to pile on Tana the way they did on Jen M. last year.

2. I kept hoping Tana would shut up
I was embarrassed for her the way she was getting so aggressive. And pointing her finger at Trump all the time when talking about the whole Pontiac deal... jeez, just shut up woman.

3. Tana behaved as if she was at a hockey game
with all the fist pumping and finger pointing and "woo wooing" - what in the hell was she thinking?

4. I think Tana
knew she was not going to win and wanted her say but she only made herself look really bad and that isn't going to help her in future endeavors. :crazy:

5. I'm wondering if she might actually be bi-polar

6. Trump likes people who fight for themselves
so she was trying to demonstrate that. She couldn't overcome her performance on the last task though.

Kendra could be more subdued because she knew she had the job in the bag. It was obvious from the first minutes of the show that Trump was going to pick her, and from the final challenge.

7. This post from TWOP sums it up beautifully
How do I love thee (professionally), let me count the ways...

... because you didn't do it for the TV attention but for the career opportunity, and stayed under the radar and out of the boardroom at the beginning
... because they could still look back and show you stood out in the 1st and 2nd task.
... because you gave your team the freedom to negotiate only after checking that they'd do ok (and not letting them too far off the leash)
... because every time anyone did a "focus group," I knew it was your idea (or that they'd learned it from you)
... because you had the talent to design a really good brochure
... because you didn't let your team's poisonous negativity detract from your performance
... because you stayed mature and professional and team-oriented when presenting said brochure
... because that was an awesome clutter design, and would have been even better if they'd listened to you about the horizontal folders
... because you stayed admirably calm when dealing with Craig where I would have already been in jail
... because I believe that you made a significant difference in every Magna win
... because when given your team for the final task, you focused on the positive and made them want to succeed
... because you wished the best for Tana when she wished the worst for you
... because you showed business savvy, keen analysis, and plain common sense
... because you cried, and the reasons for which you cried showed humanity and character (and you barely teared up in the BR)
... because you never argued that your opponent was weak, only that you were stronger
... because you were poised, prepared, and gracious in victory
... because you knew you'd won long before Tana knew she'd lost, and you did not try to fight her in the finale over circle points that were no longer important
... because your fight, and your victory, made me watch and root for you
... because you impressed Carolyn enough to become HER apprentice
... because you are young, and already so talented, and have made the most of an opportunity
... because you really are the total package

9. Very good summary of Kendra's strengths
and why she was the right choice.
