I thought this might be an interesting exercise. Here is my top 10:
(1) Bill - Though I would have hired Troy, Bill was an excellent candidate, and deserved to win.
(2) Troy - Lacking education? Troy had all the education he needed from life! I thought it was a rare magnanimous moment when Trump decided to send him to school. He and Kwame also provided the best moment in either season with their face off in the boardroom.
(3) Kwame - He was my second favorite candidate after Troy, though I think Trump made a mistake in firing Troy instead of Kwame. Even still, I was not disappointed to see Kwame in the final two.
(4) Kelly - Kelly and Bradford were the only two candidates from season 2 that could have hung with the Big Three from season 1.
(5) Bradford - One of the all-time stupidest moments in reality TV history occurred when Trump fired Brad instead of the Stripper. 'Nuff said.
(6) Amy - Not my favorite candidate AT ALL. She was stong, though, and recognized by her teams as such.
(7) Kevin - I wish that--lacking the opportunity to have Bradford and Kelly square off--Trump had brought this solid candidate to the final two. He was far superior to either Jen or Sandy.
(8) Raj - His eccentricity did not grate as Sam's did, and he was a very strong candidate -- much more so than either of the last two lame women candidates.
(9) Jason - He was fired in the second-stupidest firing decision Trump has made. He fired this go-getter instead of SAM for cripes' sake! He was also fired in episode 2 ... is there some kind of curse on this episode?!?
(10) Andy - Kelly would have had him for lunch, but he also would have been a much worthier opponent for Kelly than either of the two women Trump was determined to have in the final four.
