Kristi Frank,30, a real estate broker and restaurant owner from Bel Air,
                California. Kristi knows a lot about the real world in many ways, due to
                her business experience, but her failure to stand up for herself showed a
                lack of one hundred percent focus on her immediate goal. She will do well

                for herself if she focuses more.
                     Kwame  Jackson,29,  a  Harvard  MBA  and  investment  manager  at
                Goldman Sachs, from New York City. He is smooth and collected, and will
                do what is necessary to succeed. Kwame raised some eyebrows when he
                signed  basketballs  at  Planet  Hollywood,  implicitly  suggesting  to
                customers that he was famous. Was it unethical? When you’re desperate,
                you sometimes have to push the envelope. Kwame was on a desperately

                failing team. His judgment wasn’t admirable, but I don’t think he crossed
                the line: He was supporting his team members.
                     Amy Henry,30, a manager at a high-tech start-up in Austin, Texas, who
                owned millions of dollars in options and lost it all in the dot-com bust.
                Amy is extremely bright and has great spirit, team and otherwise. I don’t
                think much can get her down, and she will excel.

                     Troy McClain,32, a mortgage lender in the insurance business and a
                real estate developer, from Boise, Idaho. Troy is optimistic and realistic at
                the same time. It’s a great combination, and I expect him to do big things.
                Plus it takes a brave man to have his legs waxed. That showed me how
                much he really wanted the job.
                     Tammy Lee,36, a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch in Seattle, Washington.
                Tammy’s experience gives her a realistic view of the world. She watches

                out for herself and keeps her goals clear. Her strength is one of her greatest
                attributes, and it will help her throughout her career.
                     Bill Rancic,32, founder of cigarsaroundtheworld.com, which he started
                from  his  studio  apartment  in  Chicago,  Illinois,  and  turned  into  a
                multimillion-dollar business. Bill is a good guy with a great future and has

                already  proven  his  entrepreneurial  skills.  He’s  a  careful  thinker, serious
                about his endeavors, and a good bet to achieve the results he seeks.
                     Omarosa  Manigault-Stallworth,29,  a  political  consultant  from
                Washington, D.C., who worked in  the  Clinton-Gore administration. Like
                Madonna, she needs only a first name. Omarosa is the most articulate of
                the group. She’s got a lot of fight in her and self-confidence that will serve
                her well. If she’d been working on Gore’s presidential campaign, he would
                have won.
