apprentice, week 13

farewell bren

that's so not how i wanted this episode to end. tana, craig, and kendra's product was so much better, but i soooooooooo wanted tana or craig gone this week after what they pulled last week. craig, regardless of other talents, is a poor communicator in my opinion, and i don't see him winning. tana's a good businessperson and very versatile, but i was just super annoyed with her just checking out on the previous task and then taking kendra's credit -- that was just plain STUPID of her.

i was sad to see bren go this week... he's the memphian on board this season so the hometown connection had me rooting for him all along. i'd been impressed early on with his people skills, and how good he was at resolving conflict, but his creativity has gone down the drain as the season's progressed. alex hasn't been that outstanding, but like bren said in the cab after he was fired, he (bren) doesn't have the same drive that alex does at this point... he came to new york wanting to have the trump job, but the longer he's been in new york, the more he's learned that what he needs and really wants is right under his nose back home in memphis. for a farewell, it was a good one.

now, i still want kendra to win, not sure who i hope should be up against her in the final. we'll see if i get what i want.

new post on dinner with john nash in a minute :-P
