Celebrity Apprentice - 1/24/08 *SPOILERS*

[jrinck]

Too bad to see Jennie go, but they were right, being an a-hole b*tch businesswoman just isn't her thing.

And why exactly is Omargrossa still there? I'd rather have solf-spoken Jennie running my business than a pompous self-proclaimed reality "star".

But I guess Trump is smarter than me, or as Gene says "about as smart as they come". So what do I know? :D

[JFriday]

She was just the 2nd celebrity ready to get out of there.

Who was it that argued, the men have an advatage because they are celebrities? I thought that was funny.

[MitchO]

So a week after he said Gene left him no choice by taking Finch, he got rid of her anyway? :rolleyes: Man, I could have still been watching Gene Simmons. The man's a futurist. :)

i think marilou said the mens team was much better celeb wise then the womens.

thats why she shoulda just brought omygodugly back in and said trump you need to fire her cause shes not a celebrity. or nelly since her contirbutor showed up late. hope they still took that money to go to the charity.

[laststarfighter]

Marilou was right about that and the fact that the men have more rich friends. I was looking at the cast on nbc.com after the show and it's easy to see that the show is unbalanced since they allow people to call upon their rich friends to win.

They really need to limit how much outside help they get or get more tasks that don't involve raising money because calling up a buddy to drop $10k doesn't really demonstrate your business skills.

[sushikitten]

I keep waiting for Trump to say to Carol "Okay, since you say you never get to show your leadership skills, you're up next for Project Manager." I remember him doing that on previous seasons.

[marksman]

The weird thing is there are parallels between the two teams and type of players. The only difference is one team one and one lost.

What his face country, Tito Ortiz, background guys. If you watched last week you would have never known Tito was the PM except he sat in the PM chair in the Boardroom. Baldwin, Piers etc ran over everyone else, same way the same women run over everyone else and Jenny and Carol sit in the background.

I do agree with Carol 100%. Omarassa is a cancer on that team and eats them from the inside out. She pounces on weakness instead of working to make the team better during events.

I so wish she was off the show, but Donald seems to think she brings ratings, which I just don't agree in the present format.

[newsposter]

someone needs to post a video clip of Om saying she isnt beautiful....that was the best line of the year.

The calling of friends is getting trite. show me these people roping steer or something. That will impress me. I bet ratings will be high on this show and they will continue it next year though...sigh.

[Jeff_in_Bklyn]

Is that Nelly really a business women?? Do you think she screams like a little girl every time someone gives her a check for a large amount in the real world? (and some of the others women also) I would expect that from some of the others that are not really in the business world, but not from a executive. Very unprofessional.

The guys get a $10,000 check with a smile and a handshake.

[newsposter]

oh one other thing really bugged me...how often she said the word latina! Is that supposed to be something special?

[Jayjoans]

Nelly=Janice from the Muppets

[daperlman]

Baldwin is unbelievable. The guy is so caught in being heard that he is constantly interjecting his feedback at inappropriate times.

[bareyb]

I noticed that too. It's like he's so damn determined to espouse his wisdom, that he doesn't even care of the moment has passed. :D

for real?

well i'm white and know white people, maybe i should call them and brag that we are so wonderful :rolleyes:

[heySkippy]

I felt bad for Nelly that her contact let her down. That it likely was the difference in the contest makes it ever so much worse.

[MikeekiM]

I felt bad for Nelly that her contact let her down. That it likely was the difference in the contest makes it ever so much worse.

And she really wanted to make a positive impression on Trump...but the fact that it was late made it worse than if it wasn't coming at all... IIRC, he chalked it up to poor planning :( They guys had a similar last minute "purchase"...it wasn't any better planned in my opinion...

Latinas... siempre tarde.
Kind of ironic that the Virgin Stewardesses almost did not make it - maybe their flight was behind schedule

[newsposter]

interesting how the rep made it quicker than the attendants..i guess the office was in the area but the girl out at the airports

[JaneiR36]

I loved Marilou's choice of whom to bring into the boardroom last week! It's such a load those women keep saying, their excuse for not being a leader is always that no one babied them and asked them for their opinion. Look at Baldwin and Piers. IIRC they've never been the Project Manager but you never see them taking a back seat to anyone or having their contribution questioned.

Surprisingly, no one has brought it up yet, but didn't Jennie turn down someone who basically said, "I have 2G's to spend, sell me something"? Since the person didn't know what she wanted to buy Jennie basically told her to see if she could figure it out and then come back and buy the ticket. Classis order taker! How is that someone with leadership skills that you'd want on your team?

I don't much care for Omarosa, either, but I could see that she pulled her weight, and I'm glad she called Carol up on that whole, "Oh, they 'made' me accountant and that's why I couldn't contribute" BS!! :mad:

The women just really disappointed me until this week and I'm glad they're waking up. I don't have a single red cent to my name but I'd definitely hire Marilou to run my business. She created an environment where everyone could contribute their best and took the opportunity to get rid of the dead weight. :cool:

[newsposter]

I think she said figure out how many tickets you want for your 2K and we can do that. what if the woman asked for 2000 tickets? I thought that was funny.

[robpickles]

This whole show is just sad. The worst Apprentice ever.

Celebrities who are playing for a charity? Please! They have nothing at stake. There is no drive...no ambition...They don't care if they win or lose. Yet they get paid to be there and do what they do best... ACT. Reality tv? Not!

Omarossa is a joke. She is not even a celebrity. She is a stupid b***h, wannabe, who shouldn't even be on this show. She is there for ratings and to stir the s**t.

Want to entertain me? Make the celebrities shovel some s**t or do some other dirty job that they are not used to and can't call one of their rich friends to help them out.

Go back to the old show and don't waste our time.

The guys get a $10,000 check with a smile and a handshake.When trying to separate a sucker and their money only one thing works.

Excitement.

That's why slot machines are so loud and ring bells when you cash out. That's why drinks are liberally spread around the craps table. That's why they shape the ceilings in casinos to funnel the sound of winning around. That's why the guys always have a bullhorn around. That's why Peirs dressed up as King Arthur. That's why the girls screetch at every sale.

They are not raising a commotion to celebrate their windfall, they are raising a commotion to make the act of giving exciting and prompt more of it.

I was thinking that Nely is the cat woman.

When the guys said the check made it under the gun, trump called it "good planning", then compared it to the girls "poor planning". lame. but this is why i didn't like the apprentice... the tasks they had to do and the reasons they got fired were so arbitrary, and had nothing to do with actually being a good employee for trump.

at least, now, there's no job at stake, so it doesn't bother me as much. I, for one, like the celebrity version much better than the regular, for this reason.

also, sucks that the 2 best looking chicks are gone.

The rep didn't have to stop by the head office to pick up a check.

Vinny Pastore might be the stupidest person ever on an Apprentice, and that's saying something. His" negotiations" on which shows to pick were embarassing. And...
The previews for next week show him "becoming a rat" and helping the women's team. If this actually happens, then it's scripted. It's more likely that he was just sent to the women's team to balance out the numbers, and he wants to remind everybody that when he was on The Sopranos, he was a rate. The Sopranos. He was on the Sopranos, you know. Big Pussy. Uncle Pussy. On the Sopranos!

There is no such thing as reality tv. It is all scripted - at least partially. No one seems to get this. Take it from me. I work in tv as an editor.
