I guess trump did the right thing FOR THE SHOW, hey look, bunch of internet geeks are talking about it, just like they said it would. 😉

Man, Ivana lucked out there (and you could see it on her face for a second after the "oh god oh god oh god" moment -- that same evil smile that Jasmine had on American Idol after better people were canned).
They could've knocked her for so many things -- the time wasted naming every flavor imaginable (baklava?!), the time wasted cold-calling restaurants only to blow the appointments off impulsively after seeing the other team's plan (apparently they didn't pay attention last year when the players used contacts that they'd made previously later in the competition), the utter lack of leadership, the inability to see across the freaking street to find the other cart.
Even though Stacie is a total liability and loose cannon, I don't think she would've been fired. Ivana was on the block (and her name doesn't help, heh).

oh my freaking... i was s hocked that bradford was fired and was so surprised, but after listening to trump, it made sense. he did make a dumb move and you should NEVER EVER EVER give up your immunity. can't believe he did that.
ivana just kept making herself look SO bad. "i'll take 2. no wait, i'll take 3 in to the boardroom." idiot. and she is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT HOT. i can't tell who's worse, ivana this year or tammy last year.
i'm liking raj. he's a character. most of the guys on mosaic seem like wusses though - kelly was just... not a good leader. i was skeptical about donut ice cream at first but it seems like it came out pretty good.

Yeah, Raj seems okay. I didn't like him at first, but the breakfast thing gave him some more depth.
I don't like Wes or Kelly (I *really* don't like Kelly's lack of eyebrows or gelatin-like face, which is shallow, but hey, it's TV). In fact, if I were to go on about most of the people so far, it would be a list of things that I don't like. I think that they went overboard trying to get clashing personalities this year to try to create another Omarosa. What they missed is the heart of last season, Troy and Kwame's friendship. I'm not sure that these people have that in them -- the womens' team seems distracted and too eager to catfight/backstab and the mens' team is just nondescript.
So far, I like Kevin and Raj, the rest haven't really shown much (on the positive spectrum, anyway).

Can someone please tell me what business qualifications Stacie J. has for getting on this show other than being a disruptive presence and ratings generator?
She has had a good modeling career (not something requiring business savvy) and used the proceeds to pay for college (good), business school (better) and a Subway franchise in Harlem (wtf?). They list her occupation as "restauranteur"
The other Stacey is also a big question mark. She is a socialite who has a JD. She has little or no business experience and her sole demonstrated skill so far is staying below the radar...
The only credential wildcard on the men's side is Andy and his age is going to keep popping up. He is quite accomplished, but the others are going to eat him alive as the show progresses.
For now, my money is on Raj, Kelly, Jenn C and Maria

She's interesting, but as The Donald said, she needs to watch her mouth. 😉
Also she seems to have taken her hair and wardrobe from the 50s.
hahahahaha
I can understand Trump's reasoning for firing Bradford. The problem for Bradford is that he thought or felt, I believe, that the entire immunity aspect of the boardroom was a game. He knew he did a good job on the ice cream task and he also knew that the others on his team knew he did a good job. What slipped his mind is that Trump doesn't just look at the decisions each candidate makes during each tasks, but for the entire time they are there until they're fired/hired. This is a job interview afterall. Bradford's mistake superceded anything having to do with selling ice cream. That's too bad too, because I thought Bradford was a cool guy and would have liked to see him go further.
I wouldn't say that Ivana is hot, but I do think she is cute. Ivana does seem to have the leadership skills of John Kerry, always flip flopping. Stick to a decision and execute. Maria...now I think she is hot. The scene where she was walking down 7th Ave was HOT! But I have to ask though....42nd & 7th and 42nd & Broadway is like twenty feet apart...how the hell could she not have seen the other stupid ice cream cart??!?!?!
Raj is going to win it I think.
IMO, firing Bradford was not a mistake, but the stated reason sucked, there was a better one (and there were other candidates more deserving of the firing).
Bradford screwed up big on the FIRST episode, even though his team won. They showed him basically ignoring his team's ideas other than his own, until the Mattel guys rejected it so he went with one of theirs which was obviously better to begin with. It really amazed me that the girls came up with the car idea and the guys team was too dumb to realize kids like ACTION.
BTW: <- Not asian, Ivanna is NOT HOT.

oh and another perspective..
remember when the winning team told trump, if you are ok we wish to donate the whole proceedings to the foundation? trump said yes, but he can also simply said, OMG since you just did that, you practically made ZERO dollars, so your team will be in the bored room
but that action will have a huge consequence in respect to ratings, so its impossible for him to do that
