The New York Post is reporting today that the actual winner of The
Apprentice: Martha Stewart was Bethenny and not Dawna. They changed the winner at the last minute, as Charles
Koppelman's 6 year-old granddaugther told all of the cast members backstage that Martha was going to choose Bethenny,
because Martha didn't like Dawna's fashion show. The judges decided to change the winner of the show because of the
granddaughter's announcement. This sort of makes you wonder how real the entire process was. I mean, was Dawna the best
candidate or not?
This is not a good thing.

The candidates were blah, Stewart hated the show, and it has been cancelled. I don't think it really matters at this point--although the idea that a six year old was a factor in who wion ought to be added to Trump's Apprentice.
I mean other than Randal *acting* like six year old with his win.

This sort of confusion would never have happened over at Donald Trump. But really nobody cares; just glad it is off the air. The post after Don's finally got hundreds of comments and this and that other post about Stewart's finally not so many.

DID MARTHA STEWART LIE???
This question has been fogged by major media trying to prosper from the "criminal spectacle" created by Martha/Mdiddy Stewart. Maybe Martha/Mdiddy thought that Bethenny's involvement with Koppeland's son would be considered improper for the winner of her show! If Martha/Mdiddy did lie to investigators, then to the public, then in court, does this mean that Martha/Mdiddy is an habitual liar?
Be "thoughtful"

These days it seems that the fix is in with nearly everything. Popularity has overtaken honesty.

The Apprentice: Martha Stewart was just a huge infomercial and a joke. Martha has been grabbing at straws ever since February of 2002 when she found out the Feds knew about her fat-ass lies.

So, Martha Stewart chose Dawna Stone as the winning apprentice. Would she have hired her in any other context?
This is what Martha told BusinessWeek recently about the cast members:
"Yeah, we're getting close to which of those inappropriate contestants we are actually going to have to hire. I can't believe people behave like that. They're exhibitionists and opportunists, those kids. I did not choose them either, by the way. I just want you to know I had nothing to do really with the choice of the contestants. That's part of reality television."
I think this show would have been better if the people were really just out of college or B-school. Dawna's job will be director of development for Martha's new Body + Soul magazine (A recently aquired magazine by MSLO due to Martha's continual exposure to her daughter Alexis' involvments with cults, lesbianism, slutism, and whoring around with married camermen, ImClone executives, and other elite social pricks having extraordinary bank accounts).

She had been the founder and publisher of a magazine called Her Sports back in 2003. Hmmmm. From a publisher of a magazine to a director of development for another? Doesn't seem like much of an apprentice situation to me.
Now that Alexis is busy with her radio show - maybe Howard Stern will slip between Townsend and Simonyi and get a little bit of Martha's stinky bugger.

Come on Amanda, we can all hear the jealousy in your voice. Don't be such a hater.

My first thought is "Oh brother, did someone screw this one up". Martha Stewart and Mark Burnett will have to do something to make this right if this transposed.
Personally I think that Dawna won the contest on an overall basis, but, performance in the tasks in the interview does not preclude performace in the organization.
Eiter way, this is bad

The show was so biased and twisted anyway as Martha just 'catted' all over with each of the contestants. Trump's show blows Math'a out of the water.

Martha is brilliant and adored by me. The Apprentice was a great concept and never a bad show. There seem to be a lot of Martha haters out there. Sad really, she has changed the face of homemaking, of fine living. And to be insulted by people who cant even spell finale (finally--jon) I'm sure is laughable. She is, and will remain a VERY "good thing" we are fortunate to have her. Try not to forget this is a woman who turned passion into a BILLION DOLLAR omnimedia company. Jealous much??
