THE APPRENTICE...NO SURPRISES; WE KNOW THE WINNER

Allright, I actually watch "The Apprintice". It's really an interesting way of selecting someone to head up one of your businesses. Watching them every single moment. Observing as the contestants work in a team situation to provide the best result. Watching how they handle themselves with their fellow team members, the other contestants, and the business people with whom they deal.

It's been an interesting season to this point, but there was no real surprise that Kelly Perdew, the software executive, and attorney Jennifer Massey would be the two finalists. And I believe that at least most of America realizes that Mr. Perdew will be the new Apprentice when Donald Trump says the two words next Thursday night, "You're HIRED!"

It was made very clear by the four executives who interviewed the four remaining candidates on last night's episode (two were fired) that they all favoured Kelly, citing particularly his military background with his background in leadership as well as taking orders. Also the way the final tasks were going --- Kelly's team was to organize a charity polo match; Jennifer's was a charity basketball match --- Mr. Perdew's group was in the better position when the episode ended last night.

We'll see next week, but I think we know who wins.
