Tana, 37, is a successful wife, mother of two, and entrepreneur. She is the owner of several start-up companies including an internet commerce business. Her business savvy was first noted at the age of nine when she sold telephone accessories door-to-door and depleted her inventory in record time. Tana's highly competitive spirit has led her to be one of the top sales women in the Mary Kay Organization. Tana's strong work ethic has served her well in all aspects of life and she is a firm believer that you create your own destiny.
She reminds me of both Elizabeth Jarosz from A2 and Jessie Conner from A1 of being a "Goodie-Two-Shoe." A nice person but doesn't have the spunk to mix with her competitive rat-pack that will overwhelm her.
Tana is not shy about declaring her biggest motivator-- money. She has a yearning to outdo all competition, and the energy and drive to do so. She approaches challenges with no fear, and an eye focused directly on the prize.
A true entrepreneur, Tana is the owner of several start-up companies including a clothing store, a furniture store, and an internet commerce business. She has triumphed in every venture. Her positive energy transcends all her endeavors, and no doubt contributes greatly to her success.
Tana won't likely get booted out the very first show, but also won't make it to the final four either. She's a nice person, but will eventually get stepped on.
The following Apprentice 3, episode #1 illustrates why nice people get sh!t on and how big city slicks are very conscious of those trying to hustle people. Tana is too gullible and her good hearted nature will get her dumped in the street. Compare that with Kristen who is much more careful and will make it into the finals. Tana got pizzed on while Kristen didn't in the illustration below.
Tana: So Kristen and I go to pick up the tickets and didn't know the guy didn't have a store front.
Kristen: I thought it was a store front travel agent. It wasn't even that. It was an apartment. I don't buy things from people's apartments. I don't trust that stuff, especially in New York city, LA or big cities.
Tana: You have a couple of printer problems huh? OMG.
The house smells like urine. The freaking dog dang everywhere.
The damn dog jump up on my skirt and practically ripped my pantyhose.
I thought let's just get out of here.
Wouldn't you know it, my partner-in-crime Kristen pet his @ss and the dog pees all over me. Oh great! I'm going to smell fresh tonight.
Tana the Goodie-Two-Shoe: Oh, it's okay. I'm going home and take off these hose anyway.
Kristen: Oh boy. He's just went pee-peed on the floor, that's not very nice.
I think she'll stick around but not for long. She is clueless... when she was PEE-ed on by the dog........i HOWLED. You have to be clueless to let a dog pee on you.
Tana and Tara both can't hide their surprise after Brian accepts responsibility for the loss on the motel task. So did Angie after hearing Brian accepting responsibility for team's defeat.
I think Tana the Goodie-Two-Shoe will get past the mid rounds. She carries herself in a positive manner. Doesn't let adversity get in her way.
It remains to be seen whether Tana can handle Kristin.
Why you asked about the revealing plots? Because NO ONE posted.... on the A3 BB and there weren't much discussions going on here. It was DEAD like a doornob.
What goes around, comes around. This week #8, Tana rose to the occassion with her BIG IDEAS as Donnie Deutsch would say to win for project manager Kendra the sleeper. In week#5, Tara came through with getting Tana the casting director to win. Therefore, Kendra the sleeper became the benefactor of Tara who was knocked off week #6 on the Gamestation Tourismo event. Tara mever got her payday.
Magna celebrates with a group hug after being named the “big winners” on the FUSE auction task.
I would put them up as they become available. But when no one cares....
All right folks, do I have to remind some of you......and send your wishes.

"There's an expression: 'go big or go home.' I like it a lot," Trump confessed. He went on to discuss his personal feelings on the dictum: "You go for the fences. You go all the way, or just, you know what, go home."
Kendra, Craig and Tana of Magna were meeting with their first artists, hip hop megastars Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz. Despite being out of her element, Tana made a sincere, if awkward, effort to relate to the artists. "Give me a little bling bling! That is nice. Now we be talking!" Tana said as she admired Lil Jon's diamond-encrusted Crunk Cup. "Tana is really trying to get on his level, you know, with the 'we be talking now,' which I thought was humorous," Carolyn managed to say before breaking into laughter.
As a result of, or in spite of, Tana's enthusiasm, Lil Jon agreed to a prize package including the opportunity to be Lil Jon's "cup bearer for a day." "I've blossomed into this hip-hop follower, and when I was there it was like I was not this white girl you know, I was just down with them," Tana said. Confident in Craig and Tana's abilities to charm and negotiate, Kendra set them loose on the rest of the artist negotiations while she joined Alex and Bren at FUSE. There, they decided that Craig and Tana would be the best duo to host Magna's televised segment.
Does HECK thinks Tana is a MILF, a GILF or neither based on his low rating of her, being a 2 out of the favorably high 5?
Tana can run with the Big Dogs.
Tana has been a consistent performer and emerging as a viable Apprentice with her BIG ideas over the last 10 weeks that help Magna team win this week over Net Worth. She has good business savvy, good demeanor and knows when to rise to the occasion to sell her points to the team and customers. She sold lots of pizzas to the guys at lunch time and she went with Kendra on selling pizzas to the local corporations. Tana makes a good leader, but she’s too nice. Live and worked all her life in a small state and might get stepped all over as Trump’s Apprentice in the BIG Apple. Here's a synopsis of watching tonight's MSNBC's rerun of episode #10 where Tana shows how she emerges once again as the leader of the winning team. Last week, she did it once more by impressing the Home Depot executves by not just involving the parents but also the kids in construction "the box."
Bren the Project Manager: I want that exemption. I want to live to see another day. I felt the most important idea to take care of first was to come up with this new concept pizza.
Kendra: We have a Pepperoni and beef pizza because everybody loves pepperoni.
Craig: Well not everybody….
Kendra: well not everybody. I’m sorry. What if we did Pepper Steak pizza?
Craig: Well that’s like a Philly Steak. Look at the ingredients. In the whole scheme of things…
Kendra: I’m just …. Can I just get my ideas. We need to get to the root of
Craig: I’m just saying…. Watch the generalities. Beca use you’re starting to believe what you’re say, that’s all I’m saying
Tana: (one eye facial stone faced expression) Craig and Kendra weren’t communicating we need to get to the root of what this is all about.
Kendra: (standing alone sulking. She’s in a tizzy.)
Tana: This is just pizza. Put some sauce on it and some incredible ingrediants. And this isn’t rocket science. Here’s what it’s would be. Crust, red sauce, mozzerella, meatballs, provolone, sauce, Sauce, sauce, saucy.
Tana: My Italian heritage came out. And I felt like I was in my grandmom’s kitchen. It smells those freaking meatballs in the garlic sauce. This one for you grandmom. I smell that pizza in garlic sauce and I say: This one is for you grandmom.
Tana: We got to come up with a catchy name.
Bren: Meatball Madness. Meatball….
Tana: Meatball Manga…
Bren: What is manga? (Bren is from a small town in TN)
Tana: It means “Eat” Eat in Italian?
Craig: Man, that is great. Manga meatball.
Tana: It’ll make you say: (Tana with speaking with her Italian fingers) MMMMMM, it’ll make you go: “Manga…”
Bren: Mmmm, it’ll make you go: “Manga”
Tana: The meatball pizza, every ingredient was mine idea. If New York City don’t like it, my @ss was on the line. It was a huge risk. But I was willing to take that risk. Hopefully the son of the b1tch will sell because it was my idea tomorrow.
I think we got it.
Kendra: I’m liking it. I’m liking it. (high fiving Tana.)
Something Tana said tonight about being just from the cornfields of Iowa gave me fond memories of Troy. I think I have not given Tana enough credit, she is a good people person, has a good head on her shoulders, but is tough.
