Celeb Apprentice: OAD: Mar 22, 2009 *spoilers*

[terpfan1980]

Gotta give Jesse credit... the idea of using the military personnel was a winner for sure.

Who is brandi married to? I tried to google, but too many brandi brandys came up.

[Amnesia]

Who is brandi married to? Brande is married to Glenn Cadrez (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1709409/bio), an ex-NFL player...

[marksman]

The woman's pm who got fired is super annoying. The only thing she has ever done is be a freaking model on Deal or No Deal. I have seen her on TMZ before, and she really thinks she is something special. The same thing comes across here. Oh yeah I remember her name now Claudia Jordan.

She is very attractive, but she is also just smart enough to be so annoying that there is no way I could ever tolerate her. If she were smarter she would actually be useful and if she were dumber she would not be so annoying.

[Cearbhaill]

I won't disagree with you about Claudia, but I totally understood the Melissa hatred. That is one obnoxious girl there, and the freakishly immobile face only adds to the horror.
I don't know which is worse- Mom's 76 year old mess (which is almost understandable given her age), or Melissa's 41 year old twin replica (which is not).
Her lips don't even come together when she speaks- preventative botox = epic fail IMO.

True, but given the footage they ended up with was the trip to West Point worth it?
It was just a soldier talking on a phone- they could have done that anywhere. Looks like they would have at least tossed in 2 seconds of that fabulous West Point location, unless prohibited from doing so.

[Ment]

Darnit' Dennis survives yet another round. Trump had it right, Dennis really does have a persecution complex. He goes on and how how he was such a good basketball teammate, meanwhile eyeballs roll like a Vegas slot machine. He vaults even Gene Simmons in the annoying contestant category.

Ouch, both Joan and Melissa Rivers are approaching Michael Jackson plastic surgery territory but as previously noted Joan has her age as an excuse.

[JLucPicard]

I am so glad Claudia is gone! I certainly didn't expect her to be some blank personality, ever-smiling, case-opening person, but Boy Howdy! Every comment she made about anybody seemed really catty and snide. Other than the fact that she's 100 times better looking, every time she opened her mouth, she seemed very Omarosa-esque. She never had anything good to say about anybody, and what she did say seemed like a high-school level shot at how they look or sound or something. I was getting VERY tired of her whole schtick. BUH-BYE!!!

I'm not much of a D or ND watcher as it is, but I won't be able to see her on there (if she's even still doing that show?) and not think what a lying, catty b!tch she is. She certainly didn't HELP her popularity (???) at all.

I would have loved to have seen Trump tell Dennis he saw the footage of him and Clint, and coupled with his phony 'no-show' the week before, Dennis - You're Fired. But he's too in love with him to do that (witness the fact that the walking, useless freak-show is even on this show!).


That last comment was referring to Rodman, by the way, and not The Donald. ;)

[DancnDude]

What an episode. I don't even get what even caused Dennis to erupt. Based on what they showed, just the sight of Clint Black caused Dennis to go off on him. Bizzare.

Also, I liked Claudia from the last few episodes. I can completely understand her getting flustered with Melissa since I cannot stand her either. And the fact that Joan will always stand up for her no matter what, like when Claudia said Melissa cannot take criticism. Not to mention that nobody wants to say anything bad about her because she'll fight back against them and fiercely.

[Alfer]

Does that blond lady who booked the private jet even talk or do anything?

It's almost like she's not even part of the show.

[JFriday]

I'm glad this episode has finally aired. Our good friends have been sucked into the ACN business and all we've heard is how Donald Trump endorses their company and it's going to be on the apprentice for the past few months.

I liked the way Melissa asked joan to jump in for her defense. Mommy help me.

[sushikitten]

I thought both teams were complete trainwrecks and I thought the men were going to lose--I thought the same thing as Melissa: girls dancing with phones? The women focused on the phone and the men just had a concert with a phone inserted.

But good riddance to Claudia.

[BrandonRe]

The thing is, this wasn't a sales presentation. The people in the room already knew the phone. It's an event designed to get the blood pumping in the audience. Get them excited. What the women did would be better suited for a sales presentation than a product launch.

[speaker city]

With webcams and Skype, are camera phones even necessary? I can't imagine any practical use for these over-priced, proprietary gadgets.

Jesse will win this competition no problem. I predict it will come down to him and Annie Duke. The dude knows business, has a solid work ethic, and is a straight talker. I lol'd when Donald made the comment about him being able to take Dennis and he said "I'll fight him right now." That was awesome.

Chloe Kardashian is a waste of carbon. She is unattractive and has nothing to offer society, let alone her team. I hope she goes soon. I don't understand why being the daughter one of OJ Simpson's lawyers warrants celebrity status. "Wow, your dad got a guy off the hook who killed two people, you certainly deserve several hours of TV time a week."

I was actually thinking this would be nice to have. My folks live in a rural area where there is no hi-speed internet access, so webcams/skype aren't such a great option. If this works over standard phone lines with acceptable quality, then I would be interested. But not in the MLM-looking aspect of the company.

I agree with you about Jesse James. He is my dark horse for this competition. I keep wanting to see him in PM role, especially in one of these creative tasks.

And somehow, I find Kloe attractive. I know she's not what lots of people consider "pretty" but there is something appealing to me about her.

But not in the MLM-looking aspect of the company.It doesn't work over regular phone lines, best as I can tell. It looks like you have to have their phone service, which is just another VOIP service like Vonage (only more expensive and with MLM thrown in).

[gossamer88]

Don't get the hate towards Melissa. Sure she's a product of nepotism, but the woman does know what she's doing. I thought the women should've won. Especially just to get rid of Rodman. I also thought their presentation was better.

[andyw715]

She's the ugly fat sister of a trio of Kardashians. But all that means is the other 2 are better looking, she isn't all to bad herself.

Ahh. Guess if I had bothered to look it up I could have seen that, huh?

Yeah she wore the super hero costume.

Besides that and booking a jet (who paid for that jet by the way). That whole thing was weird though.. I was thinking does she really make enough money that she can afford to be flying on private jets? Perhaps groups of players share the cost to go from event to event? She was 56 on the money list last year and made like $266k. Not enough to really be using private jets. But maybe they share them. Might actually make sense given they are mostly going to the same places during the tour season.

[Shaunnick]

I also find Khloe really cute. Admittedly, both of her sisters are way hotter, but she's not too bad herself. Curvy. :) OH, and I like her on the show. I don't get the hate for anyone except Dennis and Melissa.

[jking]

What an episode. I don't even get what even caused Dennis to erupt. Based on what they showed, just the sight of Clint Black caused Dennis to go off on him. Bizzare.

My guess? Cameras being around and Dennis' need to be on camera is what caused him to erupt.

Not to mention that nobody wants to say anything bad about her because she'll fight back against them and fiercely.

I think Dennis should have been fired for doing NOTHING the past two assignments. He also was definitely at fault for going off in this episode. Though I get the impression that while he was separating himself, even though they asked him what he thought, he thought they weren't really even trying to include him.... which made him go off. Sort of more of the persecution complex, I guess. (In NO way am I defending him.)

I don't quite get all of the Claudia hate. She seems to think a lot of herself for someone who opens a box on a "pick a random number" show, though she *does* seem somewhat intelligent.

Melissa's cry for mommy was bad, but I also generally think I like her a bit more than the others in this thread do. I'm not generally a fan of her mother (though I will sometimes watch her on talk shows).. hard to explain.. even though the daughter is essentially a younger clone of the mother, I like the daughter more... She also does seem to be good at the actual directing part.

[wooh]

Don't forget! Her sister made a sex tape! With all that, of COURSE she's a celebrity!

[aadam101]

They are letting Joan have an awful lot of time off. She missed last week too. They must have really wanted her bad. She didn't do such a hot job as PM. She needs to be around to take some heat too.

[mrowe8]

I have never been a fan of Joan, but I will say that her short notice stand up routine for the event seemed pretty dang funny from what we saw. Very nice job given the short prep time and extreme travel circumstances.

Interesting that not many of you are commenting on the Clint Black character. He truly seems like a "character" that has been made up. The Napolean type ego packed in the little body.....he makes me laugh. More at him then with him.

[Cearbhaill]

Some of the earlier episodes edited Clint to be sort of a dick, but I was impressed with how he handled Rodman- specifically his "Where did we go wrong, Dennis?" segment.
He seemed to take the right attitude between trying to incorporate Dennis into the group and dismissing that unprovoked attack with a joke and a laugh.
He's sometimes a bit hard to read IMO.

[USAFSSO]

Next stop for Rodman...Celebrity Rehab w/ Dr. Drew :rolleyes:

[JLucPicard]

Oh, I don't know. The arrogant, catty, b!tchy, sniper, blame-deflecting personality she seems to have was enough for me to be awfully glad she was gone.

I would much rather have Melissa around. At least she gets something done and isn't constantly in defense mode.

And any time they can get a clear shot of Klohe walking out of the boardroom, well that's just a plus!

[aadam101]

I always found Melissa to be annoying on the red carpet but I kinda like her on this show. I could see her winning.

:eek: That's actually how I'd describe Melissa. Melissa wasn't in defense mode until she was "targeted" by Claudia since she didn't need to be. Then the claws really came out. And she looked right away to mommy for help. I can't wait until she's gone.

[MarkofT]

I don't see it so much as Melissa asking for help as I see her giving her Mom permission to jump to her defense. They have had a working relationship for a long some and have probably managed to set and respect boundaries about the other's behavior.

That's giving both of them way too much credit IMO.
Melissa is simply used to her Mom fighting all her battles for her.
Joan just had sense enough to keep quiet because she wasn't even there for the incident that was being discussed.

[xuxa]

Yeah she wore the super hero costume.

One of her sponsors is a jet leasing company http://www.sentient.com/

Well that makes sense then... :)

[martinp13]

One of her sponsors is a jet leasing company http://www.sentient.com/I liked that she took the initiative to speak up and suggest it. No one else had even considered that such a thing could be done (amazing in that group of celebs, tho I saw Joan Rivers in an AA First Class lounge so I know she flies commercial).
