Last night's NBC broadcast of The Apprentice 4's season finale ended as many viewers had long expected it to -- with Donald Trump telling Randal Pinkett, a 34-year-old consulting firm owner from Somerset, New Jersey, "you're hired."
For the third time this season, more than one member of the loosing team was fired in The Apprentice 4's boardroom. This time, the unlucky duo were the final members of the Capital Edge team, Felisha Mason a 29-year-old real estate developer from Kansas City, Missouri, and Alla Wartenberg a 31-year-old salon & spa chain owner from Las Vegas, Nevada. Their firings leave only Rebecca Jarvis and Randal Pinkett still in the running to be Donald Trump's newest apprentice.
Done in by a bad branding campaign that he'd suggested, Adam Israelov, a 22-year-old risk manager from Atlanta, GA, was sent packing during Thanksgiving night's The Apprentice 4 broadcast, becoming the fourteenth contestant to be fired by Donald Trump.
After demonstrating that he was just as incapable of working with his new Apprentice team as his old team, Clay Lee, a 28-year-old realtor from College Station, Texas, was sent packing during last night's The Apprentice 4 broadcast, becoming the thirteenth contestant to be fired by Donald Trump.
For the second time this season, Donald Trump fired multiple candidates after a The Apprentice 4 team lost a task. This time, it was Brian Mandelbaum, a 23-year-old New York City print company executive who lead his team to defeat due to poor time management, and Marshawn Evans a 26-year-old Atlanta law school graduate who backed out of her assigned task at the last minute.
Following the most lopsided defeat in The Apprentice history, Donald Trump fired not one, not two, but four contestants from the losing team. Josh Shaw, Jennifer Murphy, Mark Lamkin, and James Dillon were all fired after their Excel team lost by over a 100% margin during last night's The Apprentice 4 broadcast, making them the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth contestants to be eliminated from the reality competition.
Toral Mehta, a 29-year-old investment banker from Philadelphia, PA continued to demonstrate her inability to work with her teammates during last night's The Apprentice 4 broadcast, and as a result, she became the fourth contestant to be fired by Donald Trump.
Although Chris Valletta, a 27-year-old marketing executive from Dallas, Texas, was The Apprentice's latest losing project manager, he found himself on the receiving end of something rarely feted on losing managers: George and Carolyn's praise. But in the end it was not enough to save him when he disregarded Donald Trump’s recommendations on who to bring back to the final boardroom, causing him to become the second candidate fired from the fourth edition of NBC's The Apprentice.
