And now, more commercials before I pass out from overexertion!
When we get back, we find that Assorama is at the finale. And with her busy schedule. It's great she fit this in.
Trump scowls. He turns to George, and everyone cheers, because who rocks the house? George rocks the house. And when he rocks the house, he rocks it…well, you know. Anyway, he opens by saying that they're both good and he's glad not to have to make the choice. But as to Tana, he also did not like the way she treated her team. Very bad. He also brings up her bullshit answer during the Pontiac task about taking her exempt ass to bed. Awesome! Man, I love it that he brought that up -- love! George, you are my hero, totally. "That didn't sit well with me," he says. Yay! However, he says that she has "more brilliant ideas and raw enthusiasm" than maybe anyone he's ever seen. I'm not sure I saw her come up with any brilliant ideas, but I'll take the raw enthusiasm -- again, it's why she's a good salesperson. Moving over to Kendra, George says he didn't like it that she "stayed under the radar" for so long. I cannot tell you how awesome I think it is when George uses the internet lingo. I want him to tell Kendra that she could have been Pagonged. However, he does say that Kendra had "times of brilliance," as it turned out. He says that with Pontiac, she "hit a home run," and on the last task, she "hit the ball out of the park." So George sees it as a balance between two women, either of whom would be a "great acquisition."
Trump asks Kendra if she thinks her education is an advantage. As carefully as she can, Kendra says that she believes it is, but she also believes that the nine people from Street Smarts are very good at what they do. She thinks education is about "learning from other people's mistakes," while experience is about "learning from your own." So she thinks combining the two is ideal. Tana, on the other hand, says that she might have some disadvantage not having her degree, but she does have a "college education." In fact, she happily points out, she's only 28 credits short of her degree. That's a full-time year, y'all. Incidentally, Villanova, not the University of Virginia. I went flopsy in the head there last week, and I hope some of you (read: the University of Virginia) will forgive me for being wrong, while others of you (read: Villanova) will forgive me for revealing the truth. But anyway. She's suddenly claiming that in addition to her degree from "the school of hard knocks" (yuck), she's "almost ready to graduate college." Yeah. Only a full-time year away. Planning on taking one class a semester at night, dear? Yeah. That's going to take you about four years. So not quite almost ready. Trump doesn't really care, so he cuts her off, saying she's "doing just fine," by which he means, "doomed anyway, so shut it."
Now, Trump asks Kendra why, when she did well with the brochure, why she allowed her team to take credit for it in the presentation with Pontiac. Kendra says that she's "a team player." She says that she wanted to present it to Pontiac as a team effort, and whatever went on behind the scenes in terms of people sleeping or whatever, Pontiac didn't need to know about. She also says that she believes in giving credit where credit is due, "even if it's one small decision."
