I'd like to know why he's wearing glasses in the boardroom and the rest of the ep he's not.
Was Trump gonna administer an eye chart test before someone got the boot?
Well if he was shown eating it would prove he was alive since he never did much -- except of course, to look the serious corporate part for Trump which would explain the glasses.

The move for Kwame was to "go gutsy" and take Omorosa last and say " As CEO I am firing Omorosa and going with two members". My first pick would have been Troy as he did and then when Bill took Amy and Katrina I would have picked Nick. Hindsight and monday morning guarterbacking are what I am doing. LOL.
When I saw Omarosa enter the boardroom with the others, I said "that's BS". I'm thinking... the unfortunate person who has last pick should just not pick Omarosa and declare " Mr Trump, my team is in place." The only problem is Kwame might have been hammered by most of the African-American community. I think.
It seems going in, it was Kwame's job to lose. Neutralizing Omarosa (after her first transgression) would have clinched it IMHO. Kwame played not to "lose", but at some some point you have to play to "win". Trump didn't get where he is today by playing "not to lose".
During the competition, Kwame not once stepped to the plate and took a swing (From what I observed). His stubborn adherence to playing it but safe, ultimately must have been seen by Trump (an aggressive man by nature) as timidity.
Kwame is the real winner however, by not working for DT.
Just my opinion.
'Apprentice' Star Kwame Weighs Job Offers - Wed Apr 21, 2004 - By LYNN ELBER, AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES - The real game has just begun for "The Apprentice" runner-up Kwame Jackson. Any regret over losing a job with Donald Trump to competitor Bill Rancic was quickly salved by a rush of offers and by Jackson's own ambitions to make the most of his reality TV fame. "This was basically a chance to have NBC pay for a 15-episode Kwame commercial in a business environment," Jackson said of "The Apprentice."
In a phone interview from New York, Jackson said he is weighing offers from another famous billionaire, Mark Cuban, as well as the KFC fast-food chain. He's also starting his own company... Jackson is starting an entertainment company, Legacy Communications Group, to produce films, video games and live events with a focus on concert series. "Something I think people don't realize about contestants on the show is that we are true business people, we're not reality show 'Hey, I'm happy to be on camera' people," he said. "We're people who are focused on the bottom line and commercializing this opportunity."
One of the first Legacy projects: helping raise $2.5 million for a documentary on Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden, a project by filmmaker George Butler ("Pumping Iron" with Arnold Schwarzenegger). Jackson is working with longtime friend Dave Smith, who encouraged him to use television as a means to the end of business success. "When he first presented the idea to go on the show he sent me a note saying this could be a big opportunity for us to be like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck," who used their success with "Good Will Hunting" as a platform for other projects, Jackson said.
The offer from Cuban involves handling an investment portfolio and working on operations for the Dallas Mavericks, the basketball team owned by Cuban, according to Jackson. The KFC deal, reported to be $25,000 weekly for his endorsement of new menu items, needs a bit of seasoning. "It's not because of the $25,000. I'm not really up for a publicity stunt. I'm more focused on, `If you want to do a true endorsement deal, treat me like a businessman and let's do it,'" he said.
If he had bested Rancic, Jackson says he would also have picked the chance to oversee a 90-story building project in Chicago over managing a Trump-owned California golf course. "If you can look back at a city skyline and say 10 years from now, 'I redefined that,' that's a lifetime legacy and I think it's great for Bill," he said.
And what will people connect to Jackson a decade from now? "A tropical drink, a tropical island, a happy man. That's what it's about, living well," he said.
