(Yup – got up, walked across the room, looked at the calendar – today is, in fact, the 19th.)
Woo hoo! The big finale! Can you feel the excitement, people? People! People! Wake up! Tonight is the big finale, when we finally hear those two little words – “You’re hired.”
Said to Kendra. Unless, of course, Mark Burnett (mad genius that he is) has managed to skew the presentation such that in fact Tana isn’t a hick and an idiot, in which case …
Nah. I can’t even come up with a scenario in which Tana wins. (Another reason for the one-hour finale?) Can you?
I think that Tana is very likeable, much more likeable than Kendra, which is probably the reason Burnett had to smack her down so hard, and had to show Kendra crying fondly over her blundering teammates. He went a bit far. Not typical of Burnett, but here we are. Tana simply cannot win, so yes, I think that’s why the one hour.
In an interview with Donnie Deutsch, Trump himself said that the candidates overall were a disappointment. And so he hand picked the next series’ candidates from a final pool of about two thousand.
I don’t think Tana’s alleged likability has anything to do with this perceived smackdown. If anything, Burnett would probably have preferred to show them as running neck-and-neck in this competition.
Nah, I think that Tana simply didn’t provide a whole lot of raw material to make this competition worthwhile.
I have a commitment tonight, meaning I tape the finale. Ultimately, I imagine I won’t even watch it. This season has been beyond boring. The firings have made sense (a big improvement over last year), but the people, tasks, and show organization have been pretty awful. Spend less time showing us rewards, high rise flyovers, Trump’s lessons, Trump’s “impromptu” meetings with people, and people dressing. Give us lots more task action. It’s not that hard.
Give us 4 or 5 people that are exceptional and that we can safely root for. Give us 2 quirky people that are ultimately harmless. Give us one evil but incompetent person. Give us 1 or 2 truly mean people. Make the rest competent and boring.
Give us tasks that involve more than marketing. Give us tasks that aren’t designed to pimp another company’s product.
“Live” stuff starting now … Tana starts with an apology! Now the employees get to have their say about their bosses last week. People look kinda different, maybe the effect of a 6+ month lag between now and the last task.
Yeah…I’m not sure what the joke was supposed to be that didn’t come through… is it just me, or are the commercial breaks coming as fast as during the last half hour of the Sunday afternoon movie…
That’s not too good a sign for tana that Chris endorsed Kendra. I think that’s the first time a final task team member has jumped ship and endorsed the other person.
Does it seems like Tana’s doing all the talking and Kendra’s only said like two sentences?
