Keep waiting. Due to a previous engagement, I taped it. Then, when I fast forwarded the first 20 minutes before anything new appeared, I knew I wasn’t going to waste my time while they figured out a way to draw out the least surprising conclusion since Fox aired “Which horizon will the sun appear on?”

Any ratings I did would have included:  
Tana - Seems nice enough, but clearly out of her league.  
Kendra - Apparently being average among the weak is enough.  
Donald Trump - Clearly not a host.

The Raj Ratings will return for season 4 (and maybe for Martha although I may not be in that show’s target audience, depends on how they go with it). Although if Apprentice 4 sucks as bad as 3, I have no idea how I’ll make it through a full season. Probably a lot of stream of consciousness, existentialist posting.

I don’t have time to do a real recap; however, you can find various comments on the show at the TWOP site. In brief, though…

[ul]  
[li]She got booed by the audience when she tried to explain why she lost.[/li][li]She subtly implied that Kendra had been “stroking” Trump (and not just his ego).[/li][li]Conan clearly thought she was a bit out of control.[/li][/ul]
