It took longer to bitch about something so trivial (didn't make sense either) than to let the one guy give the other the info he would need.

I watched Sam on the Today show yesterday morning, and he seems like an alright guy. He even proposed to his girlfriend of 5 years on the show. Pretty gal.

What is the point of saying "If I had complete honest respect from everyone.. blah blah".

He talked way too much and 99.5% of it was nonsense.

I was so glad when he got kicked off.

but the show is stupid, i dont think ill watch it again ;)

You can't really compete when its 4 against 8. The guys are just incompetent. It wasn't Sam that did the team in last week. The whole team is just a failure. They should have never had it men vs women.

They have to.. the guys are getting murdered. Also, WTF was up with that Kwame Jackson deal?!?! Instead of having more people inside, they had 3 people selling crappy merchandise. My prediction is Bill is going to win this, the guy was a champ today. I think he's the person with the most potential in the group.

People in the Eastern Time Zone: are the guys winning tonight?
I don't want another disappointment, so if they lose, I'm not going to watch

So the guys lost again. I bet, the assignment again was like: who gets to flash more legs and tits and get more customers/deals.
This is just ridiculous.

the boys... didn't work as hard as they could have. nick flat out gave up in the end. so he didn't agree with the whole "kwame jackson" idea. He could have started doing other things to try to get money.

bowie was very passive throughout the day, and i can see why he got canned. kwame was just a baddddd leader, it seemed like bill was the real leader, actually checking the numbers and on and on. troy is just too adorable at times to let go. :p

i missed the preview for next week! GRR! so they're going to mix it up? good maybe some of the girls i don't like will finally get canned. i bet the donald wasn't expecting this kind of shellacking by the girls.

can't believe the girls don't realize how slutty they were being... need to put them back in something traditional...

the bf remarked the boys were thinking too traditional, and the girls actually tried new ways of trying to sell things. if this wasn't selling, hey, let's sell shots table to table. the boys tried the mr kwame jackson,and well, paying five bucks for a basketball isn't as fun as taking shots with a hot chick.

the men blew it big time.

girls did a killer job. but they also had a restaurant owner on the girls team.

bill did a great job..but he was surrounded by stupid people

i think troy is awesome. he is a hustler at everything he does.

the girls got yelled at for being slutty. ha ha!

nick is a loser.

kwame was a crap leader.

those chicks looked hot in their outfits!

Even if he didn't know in advance, I bet Mark Brunette did (the producer).

I know most of you guys don't watch survivor, but I do, and in the last few seasons, I've noticed a trend. One team DOMINATES the other team initially, usually because that team has a strong member and the challanges are geared towards strength. In this case, it was the same way. The women had a strong quality - their sexuality - and they used it to dominate the men in challanges that were geared towards that (although they did get lucky in the advertising one).

I knew before it even started tonight that the men would lose and that next week there'd either be A) A team shuffle/merge or B)The men would start to win and that would snowball until they were at even numbers with the women, at which point the teams would merge. Both have happened in Survivor when one team was dominate over the other.

Also judging from Survivor, I'd be very willing to bet one of the men wins it.

If the guys weren't just a bunch of individuals and worked as a team, they'd do much better. Trouble is, each of them thinks their sh*t don't stink and their egos are bigger than any buildings Trump owns.

Man, this show is getting annoying with the guys losing EVERY week.

What I don't understand is why the guys never spyed on the girls working the restaurant, since they had the day off. I don't recall Donald saying that the guys had to stay in the Tower all day. They should've at the very least sent someone to see how/what the girls were doing, or even worked on sabotaging their efforts by getting people to go to another restaurant (that's how the Korean grocery stores work in my city!!!)

Also, Nick is a moron. He's already strategizing on how he's gonna be the last man standing but he cares nothing for helping his team win. Oh well, he stays alive this time...

Well a woman finally got fired... but I dont think she deserved to go, but sadly she made an alliance with a betrayer and followed her advice and didnt stand up for herself... too bad.

Hmm, well Nick and Kristie were appointed team leaders and got to pick one by one whoever they wanted on their team. Nick definitely picked the stronger team, and he managed the team well in their assignment of taking $1000 seed money and buying stuff and reselling it at a flea market. They decided to buy cheap T-shirts and resell them, they succeeded and made $600 out of it.

Kristie didnt seem to manage her team well, wasnt upbeat and didnt make too much of an effort. Her teammates didnt help, since her best friend that she picked on her team, turned right around and backstabbed her at the end by telling her not to defend herself after they lost, while also accuding kristie of being the problem. Omarossa and the ugly one (forget her name) were selected along with Krisite and they fought for their lives, while Kristie sat there... at the end, she got canned for, as Trump said it "Not defending herself". Which was the advice given to her by her "Friend"...

Next week's episode is gonna be cool, coz the project to get to speak to 5 other celebrities and convince them to donate as much money as they can. They speak to regis philbin, carson daly, the queer eye for the straight guy...guys, and the restaurant reality show owner guy..

should be cool, and apparently the secret "romance"

starts next week.

I have bets that the romance is between Amy and Bill.

I also bet Omorosa is part of the backstabbing next week. Omorosa, Heidi, and Tammy are the ones that need to go. They are cancers to their teams. Nick's team is stacked, they have the people that have done/shown the most, specifically Amy and Bill. The sad thing about the other team, Kristi was one of its better members. I dont give Kwame and Troys team much hope. The winner of this show will be from Nicks team.

I missed the beginning of today's show... are they going to stick with these 2 teams until the end of the show? Or do they pick new teams each week?
