Lawn care business tips
The finale was kind of rough. Trump is not a smooth host. He tends to be a bit abrupt in how he transitions from one part to the next.

The rest of the show was kind of amusing. Lee had to run a celebrity ice hockey fund raiser. It's amazing how much time and energy are put into such events on the Apprentice and how little the events raise. Part of the event was to sell off the celebrity hockey jerseys worn by those who took part. One seen had Lee asking how many people had bid for the shirts and I think they only had one bid for one jersey. WOW. That was nothing.

Then Sean was running a concert at Trump's Casino with the Bare Naked Ladies. The event seemed to run pretty smoothly. Some time during the show two Pontiac cars were to be raffled off to the highest bidder. The money was to be donated to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund).

The WWF's logo features a panda bear. A person in a panda bear representing the company was there and Sean wanted him to be in the passenger seat as Trump drove the car on stage. This didn't fly because the Pontiac rep didn't want anything comical to be a part of the Pontiac car display.

Does this make sense to anyone? How is the WWF comical? If Pontiac didn't like the WWF so much, why would they donate two cars for the cause? Kind of a weird moment on the show which Sean had to change his plans mid course to get around.

Ultimately Sean did appear to run the event a lot better than Lee did. Lee was way too layed back about the event.

Trump in the end chose Sean over Lee. Sean also mentioned he is going to marry fellow Apprentice Tammy in the upcoming future.

What did you think of the show?

Did Trump pick the right Apprentice?
