The Apprentice - New NBC "reality" show

[Wingznut]

You guys remember back in the second episode (or so) when someone used the saying about "the pot calling the kettle black" to Omarossa and she had to spin it into some sort of racial insult?

And then in the cab ride home, she talked about how she hopes the others can "open their heart to diversity"...

Give me a break.

And yes... Amy has yet to lose a challenge. That speaks volumes about how she affects the cohesiveness of whichever team she is on.

And yes, she is going to be my next wife. No doubt about that.

Good show. Once again I'm tempted to hate reality TV just on principle, but this one works for me.

I think it's best that Omorosa is off the show. Hopefully it gave her time to rest and recove from that concussion. Maybe now the headaches will go away.

Darkstar--She turned the expression "the pot calling the kettle black" into a racial issue. That's like me (half Polish) taking offense at the expression "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole." She complained about her headaches and having a concussion after a tiny bit of mortar fell on her to someone who just found out her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Meanwhile she was playing on the street with some kids while her team was working hard and eventually winning the apt. rental competition. She was rude enough that no one liked her and even the Donald called her rude. When discussing why she brought certain people to the boardroom, she esentially gave personal reasons like "Heidi has no class." She cried, whined and completely freaked out when she realized she was in danger of being eliminated. This is why no one liked her and wanted her off the show. You're just as transparent as she is when you question, for even a moment, if we don't like her because she's a "strong, black woman." Frankly, regardless of her race, she came off as a posturing, petulant child playing grown-up to me and I loathe the concept of having to work with her. This show is one long job interview, not a bitch-off.

well said!

she's gone, let's move on!

This show is an excellent training exercise for everyone trying to succeed in the business world. Trump's statement last night that he " ...doesn't like to hear excuses," really makes sense.

When you make a mistake that is brought to the attention of your boss, it is almost always the best policy to admit to it, and move forward.

 

[new2AMD]

Notice tho how Omorosa never quibbled with the men. She had a major problem with competing with women. She felt she was better than them all and spoke down to each and every one of them. Black or white, thats just the wrong way to go about things. That is why everyone wanted her gone.

As far as who goes next, Katrina is in trouble now and so is Heidi. On the guy side Nick and Kwame are the next ones out. I think it will come down to Bill and Amy, possibly Troy and Amy depending on if they switch teams again. It has to be a boy and a girl left.

 

[PricklyPete]

I was almost going to swear off this show if Omorosa wasn't fired...she is one of the most irritating people I have ever heard speak...even if these sequences were "strategically edited"...she was just rediculous.

She totally lives in her own world. I don't think anything anyone could have said on that show would have made her realize what a complete moron she is. She seems to just go through life ignoring what other say about her.

I really like Bill. He is not the most positive person, but I think he has handled some sticky situations pretty well. The only time I wasn't a huge fan of his was when he got flustered during the Planet Hollywood episode.

Amy seems very competent and everyone seems to liker her/appreciate her. I definitely think she has a good shot at the job unless she really screws up big time.

I don't think Kwame has really contributed that much to the teams, but I think that has almost been in his game plan. I think he is trying to lay low while the other more "fiesty" players knock each other off. He also handles himself very well while in the boardroom which I think has really helped himself. Very professional. I wasn't a huge fan of the whole Troy/Kwame selling pitch outside of Planet Hollywood, but it wasn't that big of a deal and definitely forgiveable.

Troy is great. He's one of those guys who you'd just love to have on your team. He is a hard worker, clever, nice to everyone, and a bigtime team player. Unfortunately I don't think he will end up with the job because I don't think he is Trumps "style". We'll see.

Nick is way too full of himself and really hasn't been the reason they have one ever. Sure he's been the leader during some really huge wins, but I don't think it has been because of him. I will have to say he definitely picked the right artist...but I think if they had all taken a look at all the art...they all would have agreed on that guy from the get go. I don't think Nick will make it to the end.

The more I see Heidi, the more I like her. She is very ruff around the edges, fiesty, and pretty unattractive...but she seems to be smart and really, really hard working. Regardless, there is no way she is making it to the end...I just don't think her overall personality is something that Trump wants...compare her to Trump's executive Carolyn....pretty much night and day when it comes to composure, class, etc.

Katrina is definitely hot...but she seems to have grown up in that...I always get my way world where Daddy bought her everything (or whatever rich client she was banging at the time). The way she handled herself in the boardroom when she was leader was pretty pathetic. Whiney and very, very defensive. Making comments like... "I have never been duped" just make her sound naive. As much as I'md sure Trump would like to spend some personal time with her...I just don't see it happening.

In the end I think it is going to be Bill or Amy...with the possibility of Troy if Trump goes out on a limb. Definitely interested to see.

 

[rh71]

Is "duped" an official business term ?

I swear if that term comes up one more time...

 

[xospec1alk]

katrina was a total baby about the whole situation. get over it. neither troy nor katrina did the right thing, and she couldn't be man(woman) enough to say which apartment she wanted and negotiate over it. instead they left it up to a coin toss, she was NOT a good PM in that respect.

 

[amoeba]

Darkstar is just mad that asian women don't like him.

lol right

 

[FreshPrince]

troy - positive most of the time, a do boy, not sure if he's ceo quality

amy - positive so far, seems to be the x-factor in most competitions, candidate for ceo

bill - cut throat, negative at time, possible candidate for ceo

qwame - professional yet slick, don't really like the lay low style, possible candidate for ceo

heidi - too bitchy, not a candidate for ceo, I'd hit it

katrina - whines too much, not a candidate for ceo, I'd hit it

nick - slick talker, full of himself, not sure if he's ceo quality

oh, amy, I'd hit it

 

[mchammer187]

amy still undefeated

i think she is going to win and i hope she does

or if she doesnt than troy

 

[AmdInside]

I still love Ereka. :heart:

I am so glad Omorosa is gone though. She should have been the first to go. I really like how Donand Trump put her in her place. Did any understand the statement she made when she was driving away? Anyways, if Omorosa had been kicked off the show the first week, the show would have been much better.

I kind of miss Sam. He was funny at times.

 

[maddogchen]

Who's gonna get fired next? any guesses? My guess is Kwame

I also didn't like Nick's 10 minutes with Trump. what was that? he should have treated it like an interview. he shoulda talked about him more instead of asking about Trump's place. He should have tried to sell himself as how he would be the best pick for the job

 

[AmdInside]

Oh man. Ereka has a boyfriend. :brokenheart:

Ereka Exits The Apprentice

TVGO: Nick and Amy are getting pretty cozy. Did you do any flirting of your own?
Ereka: I did not. I have a boyfriend and no one on the show was interesting to me in that way. They are all great guys, but no romance.

They only showed maybe 2 minutes of that time. We have no idea what else was said etc. There really wasn't much to say to sell himself once Donald told him that he saw a great deal of potential because of his energy level etc...

I also thought that him inquiring about who Donald used as a role model was great. Many accomplished people say that you need to find someone that is where you want to be and use them as a role model.

I think he did just fine.

And yes, I am also one that hated Omorosa. It has nothing to do with color or gender. it has to do with having a concussion from a corn flake sized piece of plaster and not being able to do anything but play basketball with some kids on the street. She really made herself sound like an ass claiming she has had a concussion for 2 weeks... COMEON!

I agree OMOROSA could be a B at times. But all I can say is im glad im not on the show cause I would have kicked heidi's ass when she called me a bi*& or I would have cussed her out so bad she would have went home crying.

 

[metalmania]

Finally the "Natural born leader" was gone...cheers!!

Well like I said before I dont care who started it. If I want food and you jump in my face and start calling me out of my name Im going to do one of two things. Either kick your ass or cuss you out. It really all depends how I feel at that moment.

Omorosa deserved that tongue lashing from Heidi and Omorosa should have had more "class" and shut up. Time was crucial at that point and all Omorosa could think about was going to a sit down place (wasting time) instead of listening to Heidi and going to a quick place to get food.

I am so glad Omorosa is gone, I was cheering when she got kicked off the show last night

I think the final 2 are going to either be Bill/Amy or Troy/Amy.

That's why we said she was classless. In a game like this you don't fight someone or try to cuss them all. All she did was call Omorosa a bitch, and it was 100% true. You could tell Donald felt the same way.

I don't dig men, so no. I don't really care for Heidi either. Amy, Katrina, Ereka sure.
