Chris, 22, was born in Richfield, Utah and raised primarily in Las Vegas. After graduating from Silverado High School, Chris immediately concentrated on expanding his father's real estate business. After grossing just $25,000 in his first year on the job (at age 18), Chris now commands a portfolio of properties valued at over $1 million. He credits his parents for inspiring him to succeed and sees himself as a young Donald Trump.
This dude is way outside of his league. Kristin will eat him for lunch.
Chris is no match for the devious diva sitting next to him. He took a couple of swipes at Brian last night at Episode #2 claiming he knows real estate.
Almost 3 months later, this dude still kicking on The Apprentice. Trump and everyone witnessed the short fuse and his boardroom outbursts repeatedly and he doesn't go down to the curb. If anything, he creates excitement and suspense to see what else can go wrong. Chris is the bomb!
Chris may be feeling despondent (after losing Angie week #11,) but the folks at American Eagle (who paid couple millions to sponsor week #11) are probably feeling worse.
On Net Worth, Angie worked with their clothing designers, but confessed that the task was much more detailed than she had expected. Angie also said that she had far more to do than either Chris or Alex - and she admitted she may have taken on too much responsibility this time around.

gratuitous logo shots ensure that we don't forget who's paying the bills. But when time came for the reward, the company received another slap in the face.
Magna's reward for obliterating Net Worth in the task was rather apropos for the task: they won a shopping spree to buy clothes.
(Trump sends Magna winners to a competitor) However, they were not going to shop at American Eagle, a mall store stocked with mass-produced items. Instead, the team went to, as Donald Trump said, "one of the great stores anywhere in the world," Bergdorf Goodman. Pairing a clothing reward — at a far superior store — with a clothing challenge was a perhaps unintentional but still noticeable rejection of the episode's sponsor on the part of the producers. (In advertising parlance, this is a BIG BIG Somebody on Burnett goofed big time. )
Betcha Best Buy had second thoughts with their name associated with Chris (spending almost $4,000 on hi-tech gadgets and not giving back customer's credit card after purchase.)
But this season, those millions of dollars spent on product integration haven't necessarily helped the companies — or the candidates. This week, some of the companies featured on the show were even blamed by the losing team for their problems. And all of this follows earlier tasks that didn't go too well for the featured products.
The retailer was Best Buy, which was shown as Chris purchased electronic gear for his teams' presentation. Angie was upset because Chris had to spend hours there after leaving a credit card behind. When he returned the next day, Best Buy's employees' failure to locate the card gave Chris a reason to give us some of that anger we know so well: "I hope they find the credit card so I don't have to find an aluminum bat and break someone's kneecaps," he said. While he was waiting, Chris was interviewed in front of a group of widescreen TVs that all showed Best Buy's logo, and the store's name was mentioned repeatedly , so viewers were clearly aware of where he was.
Best Buy may have wished their logo had been blurred out, because not only did the retailer fail to give the credit card back after the transaction, but it took them an hour to locate it, and during that time a cast member threatened to physically harm their employees because of their incompetence. There's some great advertising for Best Buy
Like they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
I thought Trump giving the Magna clothes from another store was odd, too. But if they got a bunch of American Eagle clothes we'd be here calling the whole show one big commerical. Which we kind of are anyway...
HECK said this in post #5 : Like they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

-HECK!
I chuckled at the one big commercial comment, the show really has become like that, hasn't it? But the first Apprentice wasn't like that, they didn't have all these national corporations getting involved. I think the success of the first season made all the big businesses want to ride the wave with Trump.
Here you see Tana and Craig teaming up against Kendra who doesn't know what hit her. Tana was last week's winning project manager and holds the exemption waiver for this week and can't be fired. Tana is very tight with Craig, watching his back. Both were able to come up with new clothing ideas for American Eagle, except Kendra. She said fashion was not her thing. Kendra was lucky her team won under Tana's leadership. If Magna loses.... she's history.
If Bren goes over to join Chris and Alex, that Net Worth team will be essentially an all males team. Then the Legal Alliance will team up against the highschool firecracker that likely will be self-imploding if Net Worth loses this week.

If Chris's team wins, he's still safe from firing for another week. That means either Kendra or Craig will be fired. 
More likely Kendra to hit the curb.
