i read this and a number of other comments after wondering what trump was alluding to re: james comments..doesn’t anyone remember how much he slammed other people in the little interludes..he constantly cut down other competitors with little justification. he’s what we call in my business, a hallway assassin. and rightly so, a hallway assassin get’s their’s, eventually. i really didn’t feel until the final task that he really showed he could lead anything, yet he would constantly kick anyone, especially when they were already down!

Nicole and Frank cut everyone down and they still made it to the finals… in fact, Trump calls it fighting for themselves to cut others down especially in the finale.

So cut the crap on James being negative… he was no more negative and probably less than many others including past winners.

Burt, there’s a difference between cutting the others down in the boardroom where they can defend themselves (which Trump does indeed encourage), and doing it in confessionals. That said, I agree with you that James wasn’t any worse than many of the other candidates from this season and those prior.

Terry, what you’re describing sounds more like a gossip than anything else, and I don’t think James belongs in that category.

I’m not saying he should have won - I was rooting for Frank. But everyone involved, including the viewers, deserved a better explanation than a veiled reference to “certain dialogues” to justify his firing.
