I have tried both Snapple flavors. And, by the way, Bret's label is easy to read.

Red - I forgot to ask - which one did you like better?

I didn't like all of the focus on Bret's condition in the boardroom. You can't overlook it but to say he should win because of it will take away from a win he may deserve in every way anyway. Joan arguing that point did him no favors. He has been solid-no need to mention that he should win because he's sick and he's here. Obviously he made it to the end on his own merit. Why should she detract from that?

I agree - he did a great job and should win it outright - not because he got the sympathy vote.

Is Holly saying that Brett isn't the only one that had to deal with obstacles?

[9Cloud]

They haven't even mentioned Sharon not being there.................

And Bill Goldberg?

And Bill Goldberg?

OMG - I forgot about him - I really liked him. I wonder what happened??

[fluff]

I think Bret was the better contestant and deserves to win.
I agree that they shouldn't play up his health problems as a reason why Trump should give him the win, he was great all season long imo and very entertaining.

ETA well done Ivanka for saying it's not head v heart and that Bret deserves to be there on merit

[xmaskat]

He better pick Bret to be the Celebrity Apprentice.

I usually drink Diet Snapple flavors but liked the Compassionberry Tea better. BUT, Trop a Rock a was good too. I actually don't think you could tell it was diet but that's probably because I am used to the diet Snapple.

And I actually have a stake in both their charities in a way. A brother with Type 1 diabetes and a son with autism. Since Holly's charity has raised a butt load of money already I want Bret to win. That and he did do a good job too.

I'm assuming she meant during the season. His medical meltdown occcurred after taping had ended. Her only choice is to try to keep things on taskand focus on what happened during the season.

I think Bret seemed to do very well, and they will give him a bit of a pass on taste. It really is two different markets.

But speaking of sympathy. I feel Holly played the sympathy card without end for her charity and her own child. I mean that's truly admirable but still she did use it all the time, she did it in a way that you knew it was from the heart but still she did do it....Brett has the disease himself and that's harder to sell for sympathy but then when his little girl also is borderline that shook him up. I'm still not sure who should be the winner but let's just be honest, that money part and the fundraising should not determine the winner. As it was pointed out, a third or more of it was from Sharon's take. Which still leaves an impressive amount but subtract that and the one doner she can always count on for 50K and the amounts were closer to the same.
