Bill thinks he has it right but really he does not. There was no reason Joan should not have been fired when she blew the other auction which was under her control. Clearly she was in charge and clearly she put the wrong people in the wrong jobs. Actually what I am saying does not matter either because the show was rigged and I don’t know Annie but in my opinion her behavior was far more professional and endearing than someone who would name call and interrupt her way into any conversation – clearly in the board room. So overall sure Annie did win, she raised the most money etc. Joan even said in the last show that raising money for the charities was a bunch of crap and then tearfully tried to pretend that is all that is important to her. If she was the figure head of my charity she would have been let go after her first outburst in public. No one wants a loose canon to represent them. She really is a disgrace to anything called professionalism. I will not watch the show again. Any other celebrity that has used the slurs she has has been boycotted and I hope that she and NBC are both for allowing such language to go with no repercussions.

The fact is that you did not meet 3 of the 5 criteria for winning the final task. That, coupled with your inability to create real followship caused your demise. You had plenty of chances, but you were simply outclassed by a better player. You are excellent when you play alone, but only so good when working in groups. The clearest reality was that you became increasingly frustrated with someone whom you could not con. You didn’t understand Joan, underestimated her & simply did not have what it took to win.

There is no way you should not have won. Even his children said you were the one they would hire in business. Isn’t that what theshow was supposed to be about?
I have lost all respect for Mr.Trump. Last year’s winner we were told was the winner because he was the best at raising money and played the game the way it should be played. Why were the rules changed and the public never told?

You got robbed on this one. The task for the entire series was to see who could best raise money for charity. You did that much better than anyone else including Joan Rivers who one might think would have had the advantage knowing all of the Hollywood celebrities with big money.

Annie.

You got jobbed on this one.

You so outshined everyone else it was ludicrous that you did not win.

While there were many subplots, the main plot was who could best do the task of raising money for charity. You far outshined Joan Rivers even though one would assume that she had the advantage in that she has all of these rich friends from show business.

The mark of a good executive is one of who can best do the task. The task was to raise money and you did that far better.
