One of the benefits of living on the west coast is that you get to find out the outcome and hear the reactions before actually seeing the program.
Much of the blogosphere (however you spell it) was pissed at Randal for not suggesting that Rebecca should be hired as well especially since Trump very casually mentioned that he could have been convinced to hire her.
After thinking about the whole situation and discussing it with my wife, we both agreed that although it was “cold”, he was right in his decision.
The whole series is based on proving that you are better than the other person. The only time contestants are pushing for each other is when they are on the same team. Tonight, Randal and Rebecca were clearly not on the same team. This is kinda why I do not think this was a fair question given the stated goal of the show–to become THE apprentice.
He would have pitched the same question if Rebecca would have won.
(Edited: I had suggested that Trump never hired a woman on the show in the past. He did last year. Thanks guys)
Let’s face it, Rebecca will be hired by someone by the end of the week–with or without the crutches!

“Selfish when he could have been selfless”
Bad call! The whole show is about selfishness. That is what makes it a hit.
Deal with it!
This guy breaks the whole thing down well.
Here is one of his points:
Succeeding in adversity. It is commendable that Rebecca hobbled with a broken ankle. But Randal lost his grandmother during the show, and he has had to fight through glass ceilings. Randal was 3 times more qualified than everyone else to win, and once he won, he was still asked to share the title. Absurd.
As they say in church…
“Well…”
