"Great"

By JPPT1974, Jun 06, 2006 Report Abuse

I can't stand Lee at all as he thinks that
He is just a very cocky and arrogant you know
What and that he thinks that he can bully people around
Sean should win as I agree with one viewer! If Lee wins
I will throw my tv out the window as my mom also can't stand the man as well!

Bad choices on both of their parts...

"Perfect"

As far as Sean goes, he picked three memorable people. Andrea liked to take over and didn't really want to hear what anyone else had to say. Tarik never contributed anything worth mentioning. And Tammy. Tammy was picked because Sean has a huge crush on her. He needs to get his priorities straight.
When it comes to Lee, I knew he was going to pick Lenny first. I was shocked that he let Lenny take over and pick the other two people. I don't so much mind Roxanne, but what was he thinking picking Pepe?
Overall I would think Lee has the advantage because the people on his team will listen to him and not give him any lip (unless Lenny turns on him). But Lee's laid back attitude looks like it's going to be his downfall.moreless

Wow, talk about giving away the farm, throwing the baby out with the bath water, or any other cliche for being stupid!

I like Lee and I still hope he wins, but after his team selection I just don't see it.

I understand that he and Lenny had a great bond and friendship, but you don't let that influence your selection of teammates for the most important team task you have had so far in your life!

The one thing that Lenny, Roxanne, and Pepi, bring to the task are worker bees. I don't see any ego conflicts with this team. One question that remain to be seen is if lee has the chops to lead a team that will not add much creativly to the process.

Sean went the otherway. He took Tammy, Andrea, and
Tarek. Tarek never showed anything while he was there, Andrea and Tammy were ok, but they had personality issues with teammates. The question here will be, can Sean keep the team together and functioning as a unit.

The finale should be interesting.moreless

"Perfect"

By tvloverduh, May 31, 2006 Report Abuse

This episode was great. Infact this whole season was great. The reunion of the cast was great and the teams were interesting and diffrent. The tasks are definetly tough. I think Sean's got this win in even though there is some minor promblems. Lee is a disaster. He is a disaster from the start. And its to obvious that Trump hates him becuase he is a politician. Andrea's issue was also sad.

The season is almost to an end. With one more episode to go, Lee and Sean have been given there assignments.

Sean's Final Project: Host a Barenaked Ladies concert held at the Trump Taj Mahal at Atlantic City, New Jersey to benefit the following charities involved: SLS, Worldlife Fund, Creative Fundraising

Sean's recruits included:
Tammy-Fired Week 12
Andrea-Fired Week 9
Tarek-Fired Week 10

Complication with the task: Andrea was forced to leave when she discovered that she was coughing up blood.

Lee's Final Project: Hold an all-celebrity Ice Skating event at an assigned place at the Chelsea Piers to benefit both the Fire Department of New York and a Firefighters foundation in honor of a well-known firefighter

Lee's recruits included:
Lenny-Fired Week 7
Roxanne-Fired Week 13
Pepi-Fired Week 2

Complication with the task: Lee and Liz did not see eye to eye in what should be done on the task.

Based on how the task is going thusfar, Lee seems to be the one to hire this season. Sean is a man down and I just don't see him bouncing back from that. Plus, Sean could get too distracted by Tammy.

We'll see how it all pans out next week.

Go Lee!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: Lee and Sean are called down to the boardroom and told that they're the final two. When they get back upstairs, they discover all of the previous candidates waiting for them in the suite, including Allie and Roxanne. However, in the previous week's episode, after Allie and Roxanne were fired, they were shown going downstairs, exiting the building, and getting into a cab that drove them away. This scene in the suite takes place very shortly after the two ladies allegedly left the premises. In addition, the two ladies are wearing different clothes than they wore in the boardroom. Therefore, the cab ride must have been filmed at a different time. Edit
- Lee is Jewish and has an Israeli citizenship while Sean's family is Muslim and has roots in Lebanon. This makes the final two a cultural battle as well as a business one. Edit
