Chris

Chris is 30 years old and comes from Long Island, NY.

Chris was raised in New York, and has been an entrepreneur since he was 11. He started with a candy business, then went into a landscaping business by 14. He sold flowers on the holidays and, of course, Christmas trees in the winter.

Chris was stockbroker for 7 years, then he opened his own firm. In no time, he was ranked 13th out of a field of over a thousand brokers, and his branch was 8th out of 171. Chris has a high school degree.

These are only my opinions. Form your own and let me know what you think.

Chris said, paraphrased, in the boardroom in first session, "This is a business. We are not here to make friends." This is definitely an error on his part. If he continues to say/think, things like this, I predict he will not last long.

I felt he contributed more this time, but he doesn't have LEADER stamped on his forehead. In other words, his physiology doesn't say he has the confidence he needs. He doesn't "Walk His Talk*.

I still feel that he doesn't stand out as a leader. Maybe something different will happen next time.

He had some good ideas for the restaurant, but I still don't see him as a stand up kind of a guy.

Chris was the project manager this episode. He did really well.

Chris didn't really stand out to me this episode. He might make it to the Top 5. Especially since his competition is falling by the wayside.

Chris said he didn't have the education the rest of them have, but he's making more money, he has a Rolex on his wrist, and . . .he's washing a dog?

Chris didn't stand out to me this week. I do remember that he laughed at Raj's fooling around mimicking the military shooting guns, maybe too much. More like reacting, instead of being proactiveI think if he would have thought about it, it wasn't that funny and he was just doing what was expected of him, especially the second time. Not Apprentice-type actions, if you ask me.

Chris tried to talk some sense into Stacie J. so she wouldn't go off half-cocked, and I like that when someone tries to help, even if it is for the good of the team rather than the good of that person.

Chris really goofed in my opinion when he spoke up in the Boardroom and said the team did not get along and if they were the same team next week, they would lose then too.

If I remember right, Donald told Stacy before he fired her that he did not make the decision as to who the project managers were. This week he assigned project manager to Chris for next week. Go figure. All I know for sure is that Chris had better outperform himself if he expects to stay on.

Chris was fired!

He was totally out of his element. His workers were discouraged. Trump was quite upset with him. It wasn't a big surprise, though.
