- All of the previously-fired candidates sit in separate jury-like panels for Book Smarts and Street Smarts. edit »
- Kendra is the first woman to become The Apprentice. She is also the youngest candidate ever to be hired during the course of the series. edit »
- The way that Tana treated Brian, Chris, and Kristen during the final task, as well as her abandoning Kendra because of her exemption and her inability to pull an all-nighter in "A Lonely Drive” were two key reasons why Trump opted to hire Kendra instead of Tana. edit »
- Unlike Bill and Kelly, Kendra does not get a limousine confessional at the end of the finale. edit »
- Kendra is hired and Tana is fired in the climactic finale of Season Three of The Apprentice. Her hiring means that Book Smarts ultimately won the battle. edit »
- Like in Season 2, the first fifteen minutes of the finale are used to recap the entire season. Even clips from unaired scenes are shown. However, unlike Season 2's finale, this episode has a recap centered around Kendra and Tana, detailing all of their accomplishments and failures. edit »
- The two jobs to chose from are helping to set up the Miss Universe Pageant, and renovating a mansion in Florida. Trump received a lot of flak after this finale aired because of the pointlessness of the jobs – they seemed to further emphasize many of Trump’s sexist characteristics. edit »
- This finale was broadcast live from New York University’s Skirball Center. edit »
- There is currently no allusions. Add allusions!
