Trump always look like an ass, imo. :p Why wouldn't you want to hear a person's reasoning if you ask him who should get fired? Saying a name without a reason makes you look worse. I'm betting on Bill, Amy, and Troy at this point. Troy doesn't seem to be on the winning side often, but from what we get to see, he's an impressive person. Plus he cracks me up.

Heidi: You're a *%(*!$^.
Troy: ...Oooouch!

wouldn't you be an ass if you're going to hire someone to run your company and pay them handsomely to do so? its the donald's way, and its worked for him.

i predicted heidi was gonna go halfway through the show. but when i saw last week's preview i REALLY thought it was going to be katrina (who just bitched this entire friggin episode) and my bf kept saying nick since he's a loose cannon. but once i saw their advertising idea i knew they just killed protege. sigh.

troy lives! kwame lives - kwame has been skating by also.

Came upon the forum (don't have the link, sorry) where real bios of the show participants are revealed along with Google links to confirm it. Turns out, most of the guys, including this prick Sam are actors, while most of the girls are models. As you can guess, none of them are prominent actors/models: smth of a small town/contract level.

Most of the participants don't have anything to do with business. No cigar shop owners, no MBAs.

Well, I know one of the contestants Kristi Frank was on Red Shoe Diaries. I saw a clip of it on the net.

Go to NBC's apprentice website and read their profiles. I dunno what crack paulney is smoking, coz there is NO way that someone can bullshit on a show this big. Saying you have a Harvard MBA on national TV when you dont have one? I dont think the Don would be too happy with that. Sure they might inflate their reps on the show, like most applicants for jobs generally do, but they are not lying. This aint an ordinary reality show...this is a job interview for a CEO position that pays $250,000.

Omarosa just needs to realize that it is over! Making things up like someone using the N-word and airing it on TV, is just a way to stay in the public eyefor her. Even Trump says that with all the footage and all the cameras (28 i believe) that it never happened. Seems like she is having a problem coping with being fired.

Great show tonight. You could tell Amy's team was going to lose from the beginning, based on the previews they showed with Trump asking about their relationship in the boardroom. I'm glad Trump wasn't too rough on Amy for choosing Nick to go up to the suite.

The hottie is still there! Amy is way more attractive than Katrina, and she doesn't whore it up. I like Amy's more professional look.

Agreed.

She is both hot and very smart.

Amy is da bomb. I usually like women with long straight hair such as Katrina but Amy's curvy short new hairdo is so hot.

I do think her team made a fatal mistake of $300 rental for the weekend. They should do the "Free Car Give Away" promotion instead. Oh well, nobody is perfect.

It will be rebroadcast on NBC by Wednesday of next week. Same time, I think. If you have cable, it will be show on Bravo, just check your cable listing.

Is there something in the contract that states they can't do certain things? Why not offer free hotel rooms? If you can pull the tiger out I'm sure you could offer free hotel rooms.

The other thing is when the model tried to give signup cards to the VIPs as well why wouldn't you just go up to the model and be like whatever they're paying you I'll pay you more to hand these out for us. Why don't they also hire people to go spread the word elsewhere or do they have to stay on 1 floor of the casino? It seems liek you'd do better getting people to go to the casino than getting people already in the casino to your booth...

I swear I'd be offering all sorts of crap like if we win, whatever prize we get I'll give out to the winner of the raffle.

I think they have a budget, the blonde chick was tallying up receipts at the end of the show

I liked this episode, but it was completely predictable. You knew the stupid 'car rental' thing wasn't gonna fly - who the heck wants to go through registration and getting a card etc just to get a chance at winning a rental? It was also obvious that Amy was going to let Nick escape unharmed.... From previous episodes, you know Trump likes Amy, so that meant you knew about 5 minutes into the show that Katrina was gone......

Incidentally, Katrina is (apparently) pretty smart, but she acts like the only way she can get something done is to use her "feminine charm". Amy seems much better in that respect. Personally I didn't find Katrina all that good looking either, but hey, that's just me. Too bad that annoying weasel Nick is still there. He's just basically a used-car-salesman, and an arrogant one at that.

If I had to hire one of these people to run a company, it would be Troy for sure... next would be Amy, then Kwame.

Im sorry but Katrina is a billion times hotter then any other chick on that show. Those legs! I really think Amy should have gone last night, the rental thing was her stupid idea.

she tried to play it off like it wasn't, which was not cool. sneaky sneaky ;)

Katrina put up a good fight and I command her for it.

here's how it stands:

Bill, Amy
Troy, Nick
Quamy

Bill and Amy are about even I think.
Troy is slightly better than Nick
Quamy to me is useless now. He should be the next to go!
