Well, that was a waste of of 4 months of my life. What a disappointment. An asshole gets rewarded.

Thanks. 😃 I guess I’m one of those weird viewers who wanted more task, less boardroom.

I just turned on the TV to see what was left after reading **Ruby** ’s post, and I heard Reeg saying, “…and Raj fills us in on his love life!”

Oh boy oh boy.

To speak like I’m on TWoP, I’ll just say…

Big Wordy McWord.

Ah well.

SURPRISE!!!

Okay, not really.

I really wasn’t decided, but I ended up liking Jenn more just for the underdog factor.

Here’s hoping Ivana pulls down her skirt again to make it more exciting!

Oh c’mon, watching the Munchkin rock out to the O’Jays – that’s worth four months of our lives, right?

Gah!  
Who are they going to bring out next? Aretha Franklin?  
Sheeeeeittttt.

The entire Kelly Rah Rah Rah party was really embarrassing for me to watch for Jen, and I can’t stand her. Yes, she does have Jedi Mind Powers and she is very articulate, but shit she could argue with anyone about any subject and she won’t drop the snittiness of Jr. High.

Good Lord! This show was over an hour ago and there’s still 30 minutes left? They could have cut at least an hour out of this and it still would have been unexciting.

I would have taken Jen, but that girl needs to know when to shut up.

And now, we pimp the next Mark Burnett show.

Can they not think of anything to ask the candidates?

I thought Jen screwed up when she started whining about how Kelly talked about her behind her back. Waah.

Ouch. Robin just told 30 million people she had coffee with Raj out of pity.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I’m not a huge Kelly fan, but I despise Jen.

Good move in choosing Manhattan.

I _just_ noticed Reege is wearing a Trumpwannabe pink tie. :rolleyes:

I like Jenn’s poise under fire.

That said, I don’t like the way she started screeching at George over the Genworth critique and I thought the you-dropped-out-of-college-but-I-went-to-Hahvad soliloquy was less than admirable. Umm, Bill Gates dropped out of college too, hamster!!! But overall she inspired less hate! than the rest of hamsters. Here’s hoping Apprentice 3 gets back on track.

I think Jennifer got hosed. Her biggest mistake was not making more face time at the game.

It annoys me how Kelly lunges at any chair a woman is approaching within 200 feet of himself. It’s not a date, cowboy.

Maybe that’s just me.

I was going to post something about how I think Kelly deserved to win and I think he did compared to anyone else this show…except maybe kevin. But when I think back to season 1 and Bill, I think he would have breezed through season 2 without any trouble.

Season 3 is an interesting idea.
