Stefani Schaeffer Hired, Frank, Nicole and James Fired.

Much to my dismay The Mouth, Frank Lombardi was fired on the finale of the Apprentice. I was rooting for him all along, but really deep down I think we all knew it was gonna be between Stefani and James in the final. Frank was ultimtely let go because of his decision to bring back Suyra for the final task. The Donald felt that given the terms on which Frank and Surya, The Hair (who has since shaven his afro) left eachother, it was not a good decision for them to work together again. Likewise, Nicole's demise was due to the fact that she choose Tim for the final task. As the Donald said, 'Nicole, I'm a believer in romance, but I'm not a believer in office romance. You love Tim. You like Tim. I think that's wonderful, but you know what? I want you to love me more. It's important because I've got to be the boss. Nicole, you're fired.'' Great lines Trump.

So, we were left with Stefani and James to duke it out for a $250,000 job for the Trump organization working either in Atlanta or Capcana - in the Caribbean. Interestingly, when asked, James and Frank preferred the Atlanta skyscraper project, while Stefani and Nicole opted for the luxurious project in the sun. No surprises there.

But, inevitably there could only be one winner, and my second favorite, Stefani came out on top. Donald's reason for hiring her, or more so his reason for firing James was because The Webhead had apparantly made some inappropriate comments during the show that weren't aired? It must have been a lot more offensive than Derek's white trash comment, yet despite this, he made it to the final two. James tried to reason that Stefani couldn't lead from the front but only behind from behind the scenes, but Stefani's case was too strong: she had never been to one boardroom or been bad-mouthed by her team. To be honest, one of the main reasons she got so far was because of the way she handled herself. She never stuttered and always had a solid answer. All of the other candidates, at one point or another, found themselves struggling to answer one of the Donald's questions.

KRISTINE ON THE COVER OF PLAYBOY:

So, in fifth place, The Schmoozer, Kristine Lefebvre will now be appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine in June. I must admit she is quite a milf (at 37 and the oldest cadidate this year) but I still prefer Stefani as "The Hottie" of the show although her hair was quite different on last night's finale.
