The Apprentice season that highlighted a battle between high school-educated streetsmart contestants competing against college-educated booksmart contestants is fittingly ending with a final showdown featuring one contestant from each team.
With its teams dissolved at the end of last week's episode, last night's NBC The Apprentice 3 broadcast featured the show's final three contestants, Craig Williams, Tana Goertz, and Kendra Todd, facing a series of interviews. Craig, the 37-year-old high-school educated shoeshine business owner from Conley, Georgia, failed to impress the executives, causing Donald Trump to fire him midway through the episode. Afterwards, as in previous seasons, the final two contestants were given their final tasks and assigned a colorful group of former contestants as "employees."
The players are different, but the name of the losing team remains the same -- for the eighth time in a row, Team Networth took the loss during last evening's The Apprentice 3 task challenge. As a result, Bren Olswanger, a 32-year-old prosecutor from Memphis, Tennessee, became the latest person fired by Donald Trump, just missing out on the final four and a chance to win a position working for one of The Donald's companies.
The Apprentice 3's Team Networth lost its seventh straight task during Thursday night's NBC broadcast of the show's twelfth episode, making Chris Shelton, a 22-year-old real estate investor from Las Vegas, Nevada, the latest Apprentice candidate to be fired.
The Apprentice master Donald Trump may have convinced Apprentice 3 contestant Chris Shelton to attempt to quit chewing tobacco, but clearly he was to unable to help the 22-year-old real estate investor resolve his anger management issues.
The Apprentice 3's Team Networth lost its sixth straight task during last night's NBC broadcast of the show's eleventh episode, making Angie Harper, a 41-year-old gym franchise owner from Lake Balboa, California, the latest Apprentice candidate to be fired.
Despite fresh faces and new team members, The Apprentice's Networth team lost its fifth consecutive task on Thursday evening's NBC broadcast of the show's tenth episode. As a result, yet another its losing project managers was fired, in this case Stephanie Myers, the 29-year-old supply chain consultant from San Diego, California.
The teams might have been shaken up ahead of time, but the "street-smart" NetWorth team still couldn't stop its three-challenge losing streak, leading to the dismissal of Florida entrepreneur John Gafford in the eighth episode of NBC's The Apprentice 3. Nine candidates have now been eliminated (including one that "quit"), leaving nine still striving for future employment by Donald Trump.
