Ok, I have a few questions about this show:

1) How can everyone be fired if they weren't hired?
2) If they were hired, was this volunteer work or were they paid the legal minimum wage?
3) How did these people manage to take 3 months off of work? Wouldn't they pretty much lose their job if they didn't own their own business?

1. Contracts.
2. Im sure they were compensated with normal scale pay for appearing on TV
3. Leave of Absences. Or they quit their jobs. Alot of them were already pretty wealthy before the show. Id actually peg Sam as the wealthiest, followed by Bill, Katrina, Amy and then Troy. Kwame had a NICE paying job on Wall Street as well.

His current girlfriend is better. The guy can buy anything or anyone.

Oh man, is Sam stupid? He's paying Trump $250,000 to work for Trump? He probably took out all these loans too and watch Trump take the money and wipe his ass with it.

I doubt it. He has a luxury penthouse in D.C., he also runs his own publishing company. Id actually say he has the highest net worth out of anyone on the show.

As I posted in another post, I don't think this was live. It was raining when Bill drove away. It wasn't raining tonight, but it was raining last night...

I absolutely hated the way they edited the whole ending boardroom shot. It felt too much like Saturday Night Live with the audience and the band playing. Disappointing end to a great show I think.

I'm glad to see Bill win, but I'd also be equally as happy to see Kwame with the job. Great show, can't wait till Apprentice 2. Also, I kinda hope Omarosa DOES come back, because those new "interviewees" will know what she is like, and most likely won't put up with it.

Damn, who would have thought Sam could be worth so much. It's a good deal for Trump though, he can get Sam to clean his toilets and he gets paid for it.

Looks like this is Trump's expansion across America in a super Big Way.

The Tower in Chicago, the soon to be Atlantis type resort that will be under water in no time on the LA Shores and he has been making strong appearances down here in Dixie in Atlanta. Ted Turner move over.

good point. it might be worth watching to see her get her rear handed to her.

Once he off loads the Casinos, he'll be in an even better position. Hes trying to get someone to buy a controlling share of his Casino biz. A deal was in the works, not sure it if still is after the debt the casinos had was made public.

Yeah. Kwame did himself by not judging her character well enough.

It was disgusting to see Omarosa in Jessica's suite dancing and prancing around while he was sweating bullets. Trying to be in the limelight at Kwame's expense.

Still, he was in charge, but he didn't take charge.. He let her all walk over him.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Perhaps they filmed that part last night with both Bill and Kwame? Besides, why would Trump embarrass himself by reading off queue cards incredibly badly if it was taped?

I just saw Oma on Inside Edition (1 hour after the end of the Apprentice show) and she was being her lying self again. She is a big time loser, a liar, a egomanic, and much more. She said something about somekind of payback to Kwamme because she blamed Kwamme for her being fired a few weeks ago. This was her quote "Let talk about how Kwamme let me down".

I can't believe that she left with Jessia and didn't even bother to answer the walkie talkie/phone or the pager. Then had the nerve to play house in the suite while Kwamme got his behind kicked all over by Trump.

So true with the old Asian proverb, "near the light, you will get smart...near darkness, you will get dumb". Kwamme made a huge mistake for picked Oma last week.
