I'd expect him to know her on a personal level by then, not just as a member of her race. Particularly so, if he was a person with good intuition (and I don't think he is).

    I agree that Kwame is rather difficult to type because he is so collected. To a certain extent, his calm demeanor had brought him far in the competition because he doesn't open his mouth at the wrong time. I didn't think that he is one of Trump's favorites and Trump might not have expected him to come this far and he could not fire him either because Kwame has not made a major mistake so far, except for his choice of Omarosa to be his team member.

    I agree with all of this.

    Se-ESTp.
    That seems like a very odd idea to me. Particularly since you seemed to agree with Troy being an ideas person. Even more so if you actually believe that Kwame is INFj. That would make those two conflict partners, and they've been extremely close friends for a good number of years now. (Not that conflict partner friends is completely unheard of, I've got a very very very close INFp friend myself, but it's highly exceptional.)

    Speaking of the signing baseball incident, Bill Rancic and Nick Warnock seem to react very strongly against it because they saw it as misleading the public. Frankly, I didn't see anything wrong about it because Troy didn't promote Kwame as a basketball player. All he did was cleverly encouraging people to get his autograph on basketballs. To a certain extent, I thought it was a smart move because the public had inferred incorrectly from a few facts given during Troy's promotion.
    I think it's quite likely that Nick is not really offended but is only using it as an attack. He can't attack their effectiveness because both of them are more effective than he is, so he attacks their integrity, which is really ironical considering his own complete lack of it.

    Bill OTOH calls it a borderline play. Bill doesn't make very strong statements in general. That is one reason I think he's IP temperament. I think he is a highly polite and political person who succeeds by finding ways to please others and maneuver his own position tactically. To paraphrase Troy, I think Bill's a snake.


    With Te in their ego block, INTps will strive for factual accuracy in their understanding in anything they come across. In Amy's case, she seems to be "smoking through" in her interviews, not sure about what she is talking about and lacking confidence when she has to present herself to some professionals. To a certain extent, she seems to be more of a team player rather than an independent leader. I agree with you that she has some Gulenko's "Victim" tendencies though. She knows how to align herself with the stronger players in the game and lead herself to victory.
    I don't think Amy has particularly high Te, I think she has quite a bit of Fe too. Nick attests that in the plane when Amy sees her sister she jumps and shouts out of happiness. But when I compare Amy to Bill, Amy is more cold and more intellectual. Bill is constantly good-humoured and even I would probably have a good time meeting him at a bar and having a drink with him. But Amy seems cold for most of the series. So I think he's INTp>INFp.

    When I compare her to another contestant from another season, Randal Pinkett from season 4... I think Randal is also an INTp, but I actually think Amy is even more Te and coldly calculating than Randal. With Randal I have to really wonder about the possibility of him being an INFp, in Amy's case it's not that hard of a choice for me.

    ....




    Just some random comments which crossed my mind now:

    Ivana Ma: I agree with ENTp. I am considering Ne-ENTp. How did she end up so far in the game? Even though she is an ideas person, she is a terrible leader: indecisive and gives everyone too much options. To a certain extent, she wants to create a good impression infront of everybody by giving everyone a choice, but it backfired when they wasted too much time in making a decision. In contrast with Ivana, Pamela Day had made a lot of unpopular decisions but she did delegate the duties well in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of her team members.
    I agree with all of this.

    Jennifer Crisafulli: Based on her appearance, I would have thought she is ESFj. However, the insensitive and thoughtless comments she has made about the two customers in the restaurant now made me think otherwise. She is very beautiful though.
    I don't really remember her actions that well. I think she was the one who whined about the two old ladies, maybe? One of these months I'm going to rewatch season two and give you a better commentary on her. Anyway, IJ-Ti people sometimes look really great IMO.

    It's a place I write to when I get bored. And the column wants you to send me fifty thousand dollars if it's not a biggie.
