you don't have passion for what you're doing, you won't be successful. Winning team: Versacorp Reasons for win: Versacorp took in $40,800 for the win, thanks to a deal at the very last minute. Reward: A flight and lunch to Trump's Mar-a-Lago private club in Palm Beach, Florida. Amy's sister and Nick's father surprised them on the plane. Losing team: Protégé Reasons for loss: Protégé took in $35,001. Troy's sales style annoyed one prospective customer who walked away from the penthouse. Sent to boardroom: Troy and Kwame Firing verdict: During the boardroom, Bill, Kwame, and Troy were asked about their education. Troy only held a high school diploma, while Kwame held a Master's degree from Harvard, and Bill has a college degree from Loyola University, both schools Trump knew well. Troy would fire Kwame, so Bill was not nominated onto the Boardroom. Troy and Kwame would face the final wrath of Trump after Trump took time to review the performance of the Boardroom Nominees. Fired: Troy McClain – for sometimes using unethical business practices throughout the duration of the interview process, and partly due to lacking the education of the other two contestants. Trump thoughts: Although Kwame was spared, and this was Troy's third failure as project manager, Trump actually felt Troy was more of a leader than Kwame, but it was Kwame's education that spared him from getting the axe.
