Only if Trump sees those as negatives imo, as he will make his own decision .. and probably had even before the advisers were brought in to do their interviews. Yes, he likes JR and Marlee, but also clearly likes Meat equally well, and Meat's empassioned statement about the personal growth he'd achieved through the series was one factor that the others haven't put into the decision-making pot, and could be the clincher.
If he picked Marlee over Meat it would imo be for other reasons than his fight with Busey or his successful strategy with Star; and I'd have thought that Meat's balls of steel in the boardroom with Star would have only impressed Trump, who expects people to fight for boardroom survival, and imo admires those who do, and do so successfully.
I think that was why Star managed to hang on for as long as she did; her real level of contribution in each task was really fairly limited, but she put on a hell of a fight in every boardroom firing session she was in. While imo Busey clung to the raft as long as he did because his presence offered the chance of a ratings-grabbing confrontation with someone, and after that was achieved but not repeated on the following task, he was no longer needed on voyage.
