That was a no brainer. These women are hanging themselves.

As someone has already stated Karma is alive and well.LOL.LOL..Although I liked Jennifer C she made several classic blunders.Numero uno was she thought she had friends or allies in Sandy and Ivana.LOL..LOL! Second she was not a leader.She was a delegater and the others had zero respect for her as a leader and resented her delegation style. She was autocratic and lacked vision.Hence, cya Jen. Now she knows how Stacie J felt. Poor Elizabeth couldn't take the pressure of not being the popular one and of feeling left out of decisions.Hmmmm, wonder how Stacie J felt. I am so sad that Trump is putting Pamela in with those poor excuses for professional business women.I hope Pamela and Jennifer M team up to set up Maria,Ivana,Stacy R, and Sandy for failure.I am sure next week will be confrontational and maybe someone will finally put Stacey R in her tomb.

My sentiments exactly, Carlito. At this point Jennifer M. and Pamela are the only females on that show that I still don't dislike. That Stacy R is something different, and it's not a good thing.

Jennifer C. deserved to be fired. She just didn't get it. Instead of bringing in the people who had messed up, she brought in the people she didn't like. No, dear lady, this is a competition, it is business, not the Yah-yah club. Even in the taxi, leaving, she didn't get it. She was whining because someone she thought was a "friend" targeted her in the board room. This whole bunch of women are so incredibly infantile, it's amazing. I pity Pamela if she's thrown in with this bunch.

I have to agree with Carolyn-these women are an embarassment to businesswomen everywhere! hope they do not portray how it really is in the business world, with their pettiness and backstabbing ways! There is not a single woman I like except Pamela. Jennifer M. is kinda ok, but I don't like the way she agreed with the others about Stacy last week.

I think Jen was trying to make them think the one girl had a break down like Stacy J did, figuring DT would fire her like he did SJ. These woman act just as many women working together act. I'd rather work with a bunch of men anyday.

"I have to agree with Carolyn-these women are an embarassment to businesswomen everywhere!" Ditto to that. Amazing that so many of us had agreed with that by last week. Pamela is going to be eaten alive if she even opens her mouth next week. But that's okay because I can't get over her kid remarks from the first show. There was something on ET where Trump is on the cover of TV Guide with Maria and Raj. Please please please no! If Maria makes it to the final four, then for sure this whole thing is a joke. Not only did she take attention away from her own blunder in last week's boardroom to get Stacey fired instead but then when they came back to the suite, did I hear this correctly where when Raj and others call them on how they treated Stacey in the boardroom, Maria basically put all blame for it on Elizabeth? Jen C. was a dismal failure at being a project leader but at least she was onto Maria. And did Donald give Raj his pink tie or did Raj just wear one in Donald's honor for the rest of the show? He's even making facial gestures just like the Donald.

I wrote this two weeks ago in "misc" and it is still so fitting...I shall cut and paste So far this show has shown women as overemotional in the boardroom. Carolyn is the leader of this sorry pack- she looks like she is ready to take the fight outside at any minute. She sneers and dogs people. She goes over the top in her assessments, imo. Then Ivana and her eye rolling when Trump says something is so childish. I don't know what business school they went to that would teach them all to be so disrespectful in the boardroom. Shut up, listen, take the criticism and wait for your turn and keep your cool! You don't have to have an MBA to know this. They may be encouraged to interrupt but the fact is, they should be bred not to.

I think Bill sounded more professional in the boardroom than Carolyn did tonight! I don't like the way she's being this time. She barely said a word the last time and now she's so out there. I think they could have gradually built up to her being so brash since we saw such a different Carolyn last time. I thought Jennifer deserved to be fired. She was a mess as a leader. If these women don't pull it together next week, it's going to be a show full of men in no time!

I haven't seen this week's show yet but... It seems that both last season and this season, the women are clueless. Last year it was all about sex. Yeah, it exists out there in the business world, but not in such an in-your-face fashion. And the smallminded pettiness (cattiness) of these women this year. It sounds like they really can't get it together if the women, yet again for the third week in a row, headed to the boardroom. Scary women! I would never wanna work in a company with any of them!

I'm so glad Jen got fired last night. She's a typical "finger pointer" as Stacey said. I hate grown women and men who can't admit a mistake and need to say..."it wasn't me!" That attitude is not respected in the business world of today. I think Jen set the women's movement back 40 years! I just wanted to scream for her to just shut up and listen to what was being said and take some responsibility. Oh and she DID make her boardroom choices a "personal" decision, which any good business person would not do.

I like Carolyn this season, also liked her last season. I think she can't believe these women and maybe that is why she is more confrontational. Man, Jen would not shut her yap! I actually do feel sorry for Pamela already!

I can't believe Jen wouldn't shut up in the board room after what happened in the boardroom with Bradford. In that Boardroom she was told to keep her mouth shut - and she wasn't half as bad as this week! Didn't she walk out of that boardroom (the one with Bradford) saying sorry, and as if she was taught a lesson? "Respect" was definitely a fitting theme for this episode. I loved that Kevin called them out at the beginning of the episode regarding Stacy J!

I thought Jen had learned her lesson at the first boardroom about keeping her mouth shut. I like Stacey but I do think she was being very deliberate in her actions last night. I think if Jen had said black, Stacey would have said white. I hope Maria is the next to go. This woman is a snake and I would be scared for anyone who had to work with her. I've often wondered what it feels like to be perfect and anything that goes wrong cannot possibly be my fault.

Me, too, Julie. I thought every single thing Carolyn said made perfect sense to me. Where did they get this group of women? I can't believe that there could be so many dunderheads in one spot! They are behaving in such a way that they are truly an embarrassment to all women, not just businesswomen. Couldn't have agreed more with Mr. Trump's decision last night. I don't even blame Sandy for the decorating issue because she was just trying to coordinate the decoration with the arbitrary decision that Gen/Jen made about Asian food. In that neighborhood probably home cooking such as meatloaf and potatoes would have been a better choice.

I couldn't believe it when Jen referred to Stacy as a munchkin! How much more insulting can you get? Jen was also pushy and obviously unaccustomed to dealing with the public, if I had been at her restaurant I would've hated her. What a stupid decision to clean the place themselves, and then the excuse Jen used, the saying her father used about time to sleep is time to work, oh kay... lol. Obviously the right woman is gone.

Did anyone catch when Jen was talking to the people at the table and it was painfully obvious they just wanted to end the conversation and eat and she just kept saying "thank you, thank you" and nodding?? How pathetic and needy did that seem? If I were those people at the table I would say something like "well, thanks..." hoping she'd just leave! That kind of thing makes people feel uncomfortable!

I don't like Stacy R. I hope she's next to go. She's an instigator. She's instigated mess for the past two weeks. I do not disagree with their choice of Jen leaving, but how hypocritical of them for calling her out for making boardroom choices personal when Elizabeth did EXACTLY the same thing last week when she brought in Stacie J instead of Ivana.

I loved the guys last night. I thought it was hilarous telling the guy he was the best looking go bend over and tie your shoe. What I didnt get about the girls group in judging Carloyn was saying they dressed up too much and decorated too high class for the neighborhood and how wrong they were trying to be too high class for the area but the Asian-fusion food was ok??? that didnt make sense. I gotta agree I thought the restuaruant looked great as did the men's place I was appalled at Jen and the other going on an on about the ladies they called"old jewish women" killing their ratings. Jeez, that is what the ratings were, customers!!!! The faces Jen & Stacy were making were sooooo childish. Can not believe these 2

Some random thoughts and questions: I really wish The Apprentice website still posted the Dossiers like they did last season (wonder why they stopped.) I'm wondering what the budgets were, and also how they got the chefs. It appeared to me that the teams were able to choose whatever food they wanted - correct? I'm also wondering how many people each team got to fill out the surveys, because it appeared that "marketing" was also part of the project. I was surprised that this wasn't included when they read the results (like: 26 people surveyed, and here are the results...) For Jen to make a big deal about the "2 Jewish women", makes me think that maybe they didn't have a lot of people filling out surveys if 2 people's vote counted that much. Lastly - I don't understand why "food" was included on the Zagat's survey (for this task) From what we saw, the teams were really only responsible for "service" and "decor". Although the food didn't end up making a difference when the final scores came in (they both received the same score of 22), I don't see why food should have counted. Does anyone remember the location each team had? I'm not so sure I agree with Carolyn's comment on being too "chic" for the neighborhood. I do think the decision for Asian-fusion was a poor one, because that is iffy in ANY neighborhood.

Luv, I have all the same questions and comments. I wish last night would have been 2 hr. I would love to know more about this task, especially about the guys team...how they went about making arrangements etc. Newsanchor - I caught that too, and that Jen said over and over again "good, good, good...". The customers were obviously quite ready for her to leave their tables. Laura, I thought it was awful that Jen called Stacey a munchkin ... and on top of calling her little stacey in the board room last wk! I am so glad Jen is gone. It will be interesting to see what happens with Pamela thrown into the mix.

Newsanchor, that was the exact thing I was thinking of when Jen was bothering those poor customers, they were probably thinking "GO AWAY!", lol.. Seems like the whole show was about the women, I'm trying to think of a comment to make about the guys but compared to the women it's total smooth sailing for them. Great to see Bill, he's soooooo handsome and really seems to be doing great!

Before this episode aired - did anyone hear anything about Bill being really hard on the teams? I thought I read that somewhere. I didn't see that at all! Unless it's just stuff they cut out. I think he handled himself great in the Boardroom. btw - does anyone know if this Saturday will have additional footage? I didn't see any promos plugging an extra ## minutes of Boardroom footage. And my on-line guide doesn't say anything (but I don't know if it did in the past either) I'll tape Saturday anyway just in case. But I do hope to see more because, so far, each Saturday has shed some light on something. Especially the one where Stacy J was TOLD to call the temp agencies - yet the Thursday episode made it look like she just took that upon herself without no one knowing - adding to the "crazy" conspiracy
