The 'sandbox games' comment came up in Jennifer's spat with Elizabeth regarding the previous week's boardroom. Not terribly significant IMO as far as the team's performance goes. All that foreshadowed/indicated was Jennifer and Elizabeth's inability to work together. Tara's confessional was 'in the moment.' She was making an observation about the team's current MO/strategy/progress which directly impacted their loss for the week. These type of confessionals tend to come from individuals who are in the game for a long time, as I believe they're intended to come across as wise statements made by those who are more qualified to be the Apprentice than others. If I remember correctly, players like Kevin, Kwame, Amy and Bill regularly gave these types of confessionals. These are not to be confused with confessionals by those who are directly involved in the drama related to whatever point is being made. In this case, had Kristen or Brian (or even Angie or Audrey) given the same type of confessional, it wouldn't have the same implications IMO. Doesn't really mean much if the person commenting on how negative the in-fighting is for the team is one of the persons actually fighting. That would make them look bad.
