I thought that Sean and Lee could expect a visit from The Donald tonight.  But, instead, they were both summoned to the boardroom.  Neither one really wanted to go to the boardroom, and they were confused about what to expect.  Of course, being the fashionistas that they are, they both had to get dressed in suits and ties to make an appearance.  Neither one seems the type to show up in sweats or pajamas.  Once they were in the boardroom, Donald Trump broke the news that they were the final two.  He gave them instructions to return to the loft and pick a team of three for the upcoming challenge.

When they arrived back upstairs, all the previously fired contestants were waiting for them.  A whirlwind round of interviews followed.  Sean immediately picked Tammy (now, there’s a surprise) and Andrea.  Tarek approached him about being on his team, as well.  Before finalizing things, Sean did finish speaking to the rest of the contestants. 

Lee, of course, gravitated immediately to Lenny.  It was a bit odd that he basically allowed Lenny to dictate his team.  I understand the bond the two have and how loyal they are to one another, but I really felt like Lee came off as a bit weak.

After interviewing everyone, Sean and Lee announced their teams.  Sean chose Tammy, Andrea, and Tarek.  Lee chose Lenny, Roxanne, and Pepe.  Pepe, I can hear you saying–  who’s Pepe?  You know, the guy who was fired the first week.  Nothing against Pepe, but Caroline and Donald Trump couldn’t even remember who he was.  But Lenny really recommended that Lee choose him.

The next morning, the new teams met downstairs in the boardroom.  Donald gave the project leaders the choice of two charity events.  In the first one, the teams would be working with a Bare Naked Ladies concert and Pontiac to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund.  In the second, they would be working with Pontiac to put on a celebrity hockey tournament to raise money for Denis Leary’s group that supports firefighters, The Leary Firefighters Foundation.  Initially, both wanted the World Wildlife Fund gig, but Lee quickly gave in and let Sean have it. 

Sean headed to the Taj Mahal casino with his team and really looked great–  very organized and on top of things.  He made use of Andrea’s strengths organizing things and allowed Tarek to interact with others.  I’m not sure what Tammy was supposed to be doing, but she sure is cute :)   My confidence waned a bit when Sean chose to go with Tammy to meet with the caterers, instead of meeting with the executive from Pontiac, who was the main sponsor, but overall I think he was doing a really stellar job.  Things were going along pretty smoothly until Andrea started coughing up blood and bleeding from her nose.  The show ended with her headed off to the doctor’s office, really freaked out.

Meanwhile, Lee took his team to meet with the executive from Denis Leary’s foundation. They seemed a little lost, as though they were expecting her to dictate what kind of ideas they should have. Unfortunately, Lenny is the only one in the group who is truly a leader, and he’s Lenny. This pretty much set the tone for the rest of the night for Lee. He seemed overwhelmed by the task. He seemed confused. He seemed uninspired.

Unless Sean completely blows it making googley eyes at Tammy, I think this is his to lose.
