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.
