okay if some of you think bradford shouldn't have been fired, do you think staci should have been fired?

i dont understand bradford being so cocky either.. sure he was good at this task, but the last task, he made a really impulse decision and if it wasnt for the mattel ppl saying it doesnt sell well, he would have been screwed. maybe that's why trump fired him, for going out on impulse twice in two episodes.

He was not being cocky, he was simply being confident, and trump CAUSED him to make that impulse decision

First of all, i'm totally addicted to this show! I love it! And Ivanna is hot with her nice l@@ks!

Okay, i think Bradford was a great player but what he did was absolutely stupid. He should've just kept quiet - he had it going for him.

I think that Ivana was terrible leader and had no control of the group tonight. But the blonde girl on the other team was worse - she had no sales skills whatsoever when she was selling ice cream.

Except she's not stable. I want to see her lead so she can fail.

and I don't consider a Subway store (What Stacie J owns) a restaurant. I know that it technically is, but when I think of restaurant I think of a food establishment with a wait staff.

It's an eatery (which is also another word for restaurant, but atleast its informal), like a food court place at the mall.

I'm going to go on a limb here and put just a little more faith in his decision.

I agree completely with his decision, his justifications, and I'm frankly blown away that you lot are arguing about it.

Firing people who may or may not have performed adequately in one specific situation that was subject to God knows how many factors influencing outcome versus a schmuck who put his neck on the line to serve no greater purpose that to stroke his own cock is a no-brainer.

Bradford made an incredibly stupid (arrogant) move that, in the real world, might have cost someone a substantial amount of money. Never mind about individuals not up to the task, they'll be weeded out later.

Trump was, in my opinion, completely correct in his decision.

I agree 100% :beer:


Same here I thought it was funny :p

IF you want to use Trumps illogical reasoning for firing Bradford, you must apply that to Trump as well. Trump should fire himself...



Illogical? I thought it was brilliant!

Ok, first off, Ivanna is nowhere near hotness. I rank her as a solid 3 (if anyone saw Joey last night ;)).

Second off, I think you guys have made your point well about Bradford leaving. I understand he make one bold move, and Trump didn't like it. Now I'm not saying Bradford should've won it all, but I just do not see how you choose a terrible, unorganized, unreliable leader over one guy who is confident in what he's done. If it was down to those two at the end, there's no way Ivanna should've won over Bradford. Trump could make Bradford cool down out in the real world and not make stupid mistakes like that, but you can't make a good leader. Was Bradford the best in the game? Probably not. Was he better than Ivanna atleast. YES.

Walker, Texas Ranger
Theme Song

In the eyes of the ranger
The unsuspecting stranger
Had better known the truth
About wrong from right.

'Cause the eyes of
The ranger are upon you
Every wrong you'll do
He's gonna see,

When you're in Texas
Look behind you,
'Cause there's where
There ranger is
Gonna be!


Cheers,
Aquaman

The reasoning Trump used to fire Bradford is very flawed for many reasons. Trump's reasoning was that Bradford made a stupid/impulsive decision, by giving something up for nothing and that in turn would translate to a stupid/impulsive decision on a management level. The flaw here is that Bradford gave up immunity because he had confidence in his performance, and did not have to rely on his immunity to not get fired. While Bradford's decision was impulsive, in a "15 week interview" this should definatly not be one of the things that brought him down. Bradford's confidence is what ultimately fired him... while the poor project management, and team work of the players are overlooked.

Brad should have said what he said in the Taxi, in the meeting. He stated that he thought he was the general and should go into battle with his troops, an act of solidarity. He never mentioned that in the board room... all he said was "Hey, I'm a cocky sonofabitch, and I dont need no stinkings immunity!" Byebye BRAD.

Lets hear it for more catfights! I wonder if they'll make another guy go over to the girls team.

Damn straight Ivana is busted. Asian chicks normally don't look that bad to me, but her whole face is just wretched.

Gimme Jennifer C. or Maria anyday :p

The subtitle for this episode should be:

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong...



Running a business involves taking risk based on informed decisions. Giving up immunity is an absolutely foolish risk considering the criteria for being fired are not fully known. It was an impulsive decision with no clear benefit and lots of downside. Trump does not value people who make foolish imulsive decisions like this. He was right to fire Bradford. Bradford is clearly not going to be there at the end and terminating him now sends a VERY strong message to the remaining contestants that stupidity, impulsiveness and talking back will NOT be tolerated.

To go back to my point on taking risks based on informed decisions. Trump fired a contestant who was a very strong 1 to 1 salesman but an impulsive leader who would not be a likely winner. Risk to Trump: zero. The rewards to this decision: sends a message to remaining contestants, ensures the water cooler talk will be about his show today, leaves the drama queens in the show another week, ups the ratings - MAKES HIM MORE MONEY.

This was a fantastic decision.
