About a month ago, good friend Pennystock predicted Bill to win it all on The Apprentice, and at the time I expressed my doubts. Tonight just added to my doubts of his leadership abilities. While he did lead Versacorp to victory, I do not think he showed any stregnth as a leader. In the boardroom he showed way too much doubt and just did not seem to have the kind of backbone that I think Trump is looking for. If you ask me, I think Nick has a much better shot of taking it all.
Posted by ravomess at March 11, 2004 11:44 PMI have very mixed feelings about all of this. On one hand, I totally agree with you- Nick was always my second choice and I personally like(d) him more than Bill. I also think Trump sees Nick as a "junior trump" and that will work to his advantage. I still think that Bill has a chance to take it though. I feel that they are not showing us Bill's strengths. Early on, Bill showed himself as a real innovative guy and a pretty good leader. I think that Nick still may be a little too volatile to win (just like Troy).
Many are predicting Amy. I totally disagree with that. She has good ideas but she has yet to show why she is a good leader or executer of any of the ideas herself. I think she has been very lucky until now. I love this show and could talk about it for hours.
Hear anything back about Apprentice II yet?
Posted by: peninah at March 12, 2004 09:21 AMI kept trying to think of a good video idea and couldn't come up with anything. Last night I actually had one of those flashes of brilliance, but when I checked the site I saw that tapes had to be in by 5 PM - not just in the mail by yesterday. So.... I'll wait for season 3!
Posted by: ravomess at March 12, 2004 10:49 AMI agree with Rach - I think Nick is going to win. I'm predicting that his refund to the Dude at the Acquezi company pays off big time down the road.
Posted by: Greg at March 12, 2004 01:15 PMYou keep saying that Greg, and while I agree he owed the dude some kind of refund, I don' tthink it was good business to refund all the money for that one sign. I am not in the business world but I can't imagine that is good business either.
Posted by: peninah at March 12, 2004 05:42 PMI think we are all forgetting something here- The Apprentice, as exciting as it is, is still just an NBC reality TV show. That means two weeks before the finale the commercials will read "And oh yeh, the twist". Y'know, something to boost the ratings. After all, that's really what it's all about. My prediction is they bring back Heidi and Omarosa for an all out fight.
