I know this recap is a little late, but better late than never…
I really liked both Sean and Lee. In fact, I was hoping Donald would hire both of them.
Anyway, in the finale the big question everyone was wondering was,
“What was wrong with Andrea?”
It turned out she had a nose bleed. She came back to the team and that really helped Sean. Otherwise, I am not sure if things would have worked out as well.
Anyway, on to the task.
Lee’s team had to put on a charity celebrity hockey game for the Denis Leary Firefighters Foundation. The preparation for the event was not good. Lee made the worst mistake an apprentice in the finals can make - He didn’t meet Donald Trump on time when Donald showed up to the event. I was very surprised at how unorganized the event planning was. It was really Lee’s worst performance of the show. You would think with all the celebrities the event could have been much better. In the end, the event turned out ok, but I really think it could have been better. It just lacked creativity.
On the other hand…
Sean’s team had to put on a Pontiac charity concert by the rock group “Barenaked Ladies”. The concert benefited the World Wildlife Fund.
There were a few minor glitches in their preparation, but they put on a great show. Their charity auction went better than Lee’s. Sean met Trump at the top of the building when he arrived via helicopter. Donald Trump made a big entrance by driving onstage in a brand new Pontiac G6 convertible. That was a great way to start the event off and things went smoothly from there. Sean can really thank his team for the great work, because if he had Lee’s team things would not have turned out so well. However, they both chose their teams…
George, Carolyn and Donald all expressed how much they liked both candidates, but in the end Donald said “Lee, you’re fired. Sean, you’re hired.”
I think Trump wanted to hire both of them. I even think he gave Lee a chance to be hired, by asking both of them which project they wanted to run. First he asked Sean (which at the time tipped me off that Sean would win) and then he asked Lee. They both chose the project in New York. If Lee had chosen the project in Hawaii, I think Donald would have offered him the job in Hawaii. Then again, after last year’s fiasco I am not sure if Donald would try that again.
