Bill Rancic on Lee & Religion

Every Wednesday the politically correct Bill Rancic answers reader mail about The Apprentice.

This week several of the questions were about Lee Bienstock. The Orthodox Apprentice candidate seems to be on everyone's mind.

One question touched on the Jewish holidays:

John: Are you surprised of all of the starting members of Gold Rush, that Lee is the only one left standing? Also, when he left for religious reasons, do you think that helped or hurt him?

Bill Rancic: I am not surprised that Lee is still left standing. Although in the beginning there was some questions about him being too young, I think he a has really come through on some of the tasks more recently. As far as him taking off for the religious holidays, I think having a strong religious foundation can never hurt you.
