The season finale of the Apprentice just now finished airing, and The Donald selected Stefani over James. I’m a bit surprised by that, but I believe it’s a good choice. James has been a strong performer, but he had some close calls in the boardroom, and that seemed to be the deciding factor as both candidates had very few holes in their credentials.

Frank and Nicole had a pretty poor video in my opinion, and that got them booted before Trump focused in on Stefani and James. Both individuals should be highly successful moving forward. This group had a couple of super-stars in the making including Stefani, James, and Heidi although Heidi flamed out pretty bad so maybe she wasn’t as much of a star as I would like to believe–she just has that “it” factor though that it makes it hard not to WANT her to do well. Time will tell I suppose.

Anyway, the finale wasn’t a complete shock as the two predicted to be the favorites ended up that way, but it’s a little surprising James wasn’t chosen. Best of luck to Stefani in her new role with the Trump Organization.

If Heidi, Aimee, or Nicole would like a job working for a consulting firm, I might have a spot for one of them. 😉
