The Apprentice

Season Finale (1)

Season 4, Episode 14, Aired 12/15/05

Episode Summary

The final tasks continue, with Rebecca recovering from her emcee quitting on her by hiring Pete Dominic, a comedian from the New York area. Randal, meanwhile, is forced to move his event indoors and call off the baseball game, replacing it with a celebrity auction, putting several items up for bid. Later in the boardroom, Rebecca receives criticism for not directly asking audience members of her comedy show to make donations to her charity, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation, but Rebecca support her decision, saying that it is what the Yahoo executives specifically asked for. Rebecca, however, is praised for her excellent event plans, with excellent Yahoo and Elizabeth Glaser signage throughout the room. Randal gets some flak for his poorly-run event, for not checking the weather forecast, and for not having a Plan "B," but is rewarded for raising awareness for the Autism Speaks chairty and raising $11,000. With the final tasks over, Rebecca and Randal discuss their journey on the show, and prepare for the live finale.moreless

"Superb"

By LISAPAFFORD, Dec 17, 2005 Report Abuse

Very unprofessional and low class thing for Randall to do. Why? He won and had his choice of property. I think he lost a lot of respect from DT. DT should have done what he was wanting to do (the right thing ) and what I think most of us wanted and offer Rebecca the other property. Im just shocked and think no one Was expecting that from Randall.

"Terrible"

By kingdink, Dec 16, 2005 Report Abuse

I am beyond disappoionted with this finale episode. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor, I was so shocked at Randall's back-stabbing decision. Even after the audience gasped in horror and shock he went on to celebrate his victory. How tacky!!! Apparently through his many years of education and experience he was never taught The Golden Rule. Rebecca would never have made such an unclassy move.

Randall's decision will quite likely become a social standard and late-night comment for a viseral definition of what selfishness is.

"Terrible"

By dmasy, Dec 16, 2005 Report Abuse

I watched every episode. I thought the Donald had a tough choice with this Apprentice go round.

My moment of pleasure in Randall's selection was short lived. In the history of reality TV, there has never been such a brief window of celebration.

Randall, hired and victorious, gave away his glory in less than 3 minutes. He revealed a side of himself that had been hidden for 13 weeks by making a self-centered and unwise business decision.

I think he actually embarassed Trump, who fully expected a positive response from his newest Apprentice.

I wonder what happens next -- in the untelevised Trump world. I certainly hope Rebecca gets hired and paid a salary higher than Randall. She showed a stunned kind of class in that final moment. Once again confirming how tough she can be...that had to be a choking moment for her.

My first review -- thanks for the opportunity.moreless

"Bad"

By shannon_alaska, Dec 16, 2005 Report Abuse

I am certainly dissapointed by the decision that Randall made at the end of the episode. As disgusted as I am with the outcome... I have to say that this particular show has captivated my attention. I have been a devoted Apprentice watcher throughout the past seasons, but have never felt compelled to jump on-line and Google other's responses & reactions to any of the shows. It seems that NBC got exactly what they hoping for... a "rise" out of it's viewers and more publicity for this season and the next to come. I can't imagine ANYONE feeling like Randall made the right decision. Hmm... maybe it was a staged performance? Or maybe it's just a reflection of the "Eat or Be Eaten" American way. Either way, Randall has lost conciderable creditbility with me. If I were Trump I would be a little leary of this guy. I think Trump will have the sense to hire Rebecca despite what Randall decided, hopefully.moreless

Randall...ouch! Wasn't expecting that from you, man!

"Poor"

By ryan191919, Dec 16, 2005 Report Abuse

What was he thinking? The game was over! I'm pretty sure he's regretting what he said now. Trump obviously wanted them both, and rightly so. Randall got the glory--the whole world knew Trump preferred him...so what's the harm in hiring Rebecca too?

Argh...I wonder if this will get sorted out off camera.
