Who will win the Apprentice - Bill or Kwame?
I think Bill will. It'll come down to experience. Bill actually went out and started a successful business from the ground up.

Kwame read about starting businesses in business school.

1. I disagree
I think, and have been convinced since the beginning, that it is going to be Kwame. Sure Bill is an entrepreneur and started his own business, but Kwame also has quite a bit of real world experience. He worked for several dot coms and then with Goldman Sachs on Wall Street.

But more than a matter of matching Bill's experience, I don't think that Trump is looking for a true entrepreneur spirit in the person he will put in charge of something. I think he (Trump) talks a big game of wanting go-getters and fire-brands, like himself, but when it comes down to it I think he wants to be the wild one making all the big decisions and would prefer to have someone who intelligence, presence of mind and a responsible attitude running things.

By the way:

2. The Only Thing That Keeps Me From Rooting For Kwame...
...is the fact that I have never met an MBA with a lick of competence. * doesn't help, either.

By the way, I worked in mid-town Manhattan in the mid 80's when getting an MBA was THE thing to do. Every one I dealt with personally was a boob.
