Donald Trump has yet to 'fire' Corpus Christi contestant
Wisner among three final contestants on 'Apprentice'
CORPUS CHRISTI — Corpus Christi businesswoman Liza Wisner is one of three entrepreneurs still standing in Donald Trump’s boardroom heading into the season’s second-to-last episode of “The Apprentice” Thursday night.
To reach this point, Wisner, the founder of a Corpus Christi computer education company, has survived several business challenges with the show’s 16 contestants, including one that had her pitching products on the QVC shopping network.
If Wisner is not eliminated in Thursday’s episode at 9 p.m. on NBC, she’ll be headed for a one-on-one showdown with the other remaining contestant, each hoping to land a six-figure job with Trump.
The 10th season of the reality TV series, filmed this summer in New York, has featured contestants hit hard by the economic downturn. Contestants who survived earlier rounds of the show have received rewards aimed at improving their lives, including one-on-one meetings with well-known business executives such as media mogul Cathie Black, CEO of Hearst Magazines who recently was named New York City schools chancellor. The company’s publications include Cosmopolitan, Esquire and Good Housekeeping.
Wisner started Texas Techies in Corpus Christi with hopes of expanding technology education for children. The business focuses on children beginning at age 3, integrating computer classes into daily schedules at area community centers, day cares and kindergartens.
