You know, the theory that omorosa is a moll or a producer-placed actor is beginning to sound more and more feasible. She's clearly the villain/antagonist in this show but she plays it so "to the T" that it almost seems TOO perfect. She's either VERY well casted, or she's a professional. It wouldn't surprise me if it got out after the show. Stranger things have happened. *Cough*William Hung*Cough*

Also-- MrCodeDude, i see your point about Kwame being stuck with omorosa either way, but that's still not a good reason to pick her. She's incompetent, annoying, and not even good looking, either. I see absolutely no reason tp pick her. If i was Kwame, i would have avoided picking her SOLELY on the off chance that the other team suddenly lost their mind and ended up picking her. Plus, he gave away valuable first picks because he chose her. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

Not trying to start a flame war here, but anyone else think that Kwame's decision may have been racially motivated? I don't like to think in those terms, but i've been trying to figure out a more logical reason, and frankly, there is none.

update: just saw on the news that Omorosa used to work for the clinton administration and that she was fired 4 times in two years. Apparently her last employer asked her to leave "as soon as possible." HAHAHAHAHA...

I too, hate pinning this to race, but I can't think of any other reason for Kwame to have chosen Omarosa for the task. If I were in his position, I would have kicked that b!tch to the curb after her performance in previous tasks.

She was given the SINGLE responsibility of handling logistics at the beginning, and totally failed to connect with her counterpart (event coordinator) to prepare for the arrival of the singer.

Damn, I can't wait until next week! :D

I'm not surprised, she's a master of lying to cover her own incompetence.

master liar? Pathological liar maybe, but NOT master liar. That implies that she's good at it.

Although I agree it didn't help him at all, but if you didn't think sam was a fvcking pathetic loser before that commercial, you need to open your eyes. ;)

Basically Kwame & Bill are the last two standing.

Each is an "executive" with 3 former fired teammates as "employees".

They are each managing huge projects - one is a concert, the other is a golf tournament.

At least the boardroom part of next week is going to be broadcast live.

Omarosa is a conniving lying b!tch. :)

DIEE TRUMP DIEEE!!! :D

We forgot to mention that Amy backstabbed Nick in the boardroom, choosing him as the least capable in the room.

Trump said straight out that once someone is disloyal to you once, you don't bother giving them another chance...

So she's a conniving b!tch too... :D

Most likely, just the final boardroom will be live.

I'm sure the tasks themselves were already taped & edited, with Trump simply withholding final judgement for next week.

All 4 had actual job interviews with 4 of Trumps big wigs and they made their reccomendations. They saw thru Nicks salesman BS and they were annoyed with Amy after talking to her for 5 minutes. They all loved Bill and said he could take this job and run with it.

The thing I find funny is that all the people who went on this show hoped to further their career--even if they didn't get the final job working for Trump. Omarosa will be lucky to find a job folding tacos at her local Taco Bell after showing her amazing abilities to fvck everything up.

I'm sorry but the whole Omarosa thing was an obvious setup. What possible reason could she have for blowing off that phone call unless she was out to sabotage? I mean, you've got cameras in your face and are in charge of doing a pretty simple job for a day or two and you lie to your whole team about a phone call taken in their presence and then "forget" to act on it, resulting in a major problem? I don't buy it for one second.

That and last weeks just in the nick of time 40K rental to a guy who originally reneged on the space b/c he wanted it for a New Years Party and the lease said he had to be out by 12 am. How does that all of the sudden work for a New Years Party?

I like the show and will continue to watch it but much of it seems completely fake IMO.

Some people really are that ignorant, Omarosa being the president of the club.

I totally agree that it seems like a set-up. The theme that Trump was pushing this week was loyalty. Either he is testing the fired applicants to see if they are loyal (like Nick being a jerk about working for Bill) or if the Leaders are loyal to their teammates and will cover up for them or make the tough decisions and be the boss he wants them to be.

I would have said to Trump, I would rather be one member down than to have Omarosa on my team.
