Glad it was not just me who was put off by the "I am beautiful" comment. This young lady had no clue as to accepting responsibility.The very responsiblity that she attempted to avoid got her kicked to the curb.........

What was the word she kept trying to say? Personal-less? Like she mixed personal and pettiness? Did anyone else catch this weeks "made up word by Audrey?" I actually do feel bad for her when she is touting her intelligence for all the world to hear but then keeps saying such outlandish words. For once, I agree with the View women :shudder: There are alot of pretty women in business. Her choice of interview outfit for the Today show just proves she wants a Hollywood career more than a business one, imo. One who wants to succeed in business so badly as to be the next Apprentice never lets that slide. That interview could have been her last chance to shine for any huge companies out there wanting her.

Actually, she is more like a child trying to play with the big kids. Too young to know how to communicate without ruffling feathers!

Fabnsab: I rewound my tape a million times and even tried it with the closed captioning on (they skipped over it) and could not figure out what word it was she was trying to say. It drove me nuts. I still chuckle at her parting thought: "Those of us that walk away winning win more than just a loss."

I do not think it's serfdom to call Mr Trump, her potential boss, a man who albeit arrogant, has accomplished alot more than she has, by the name Mr. She isn't his equal in business. She had absolutely no problem addressing him as Mr. Trump in the boardroom. Why the cheesy implied friendship with him now.

I really wish Audrey hadn't faced such terrible discrimination because of her beauty. It is sad to see Audrey undermined in that way. Of course, it took Old Don Tump to pull the plug...and he did. I for one cannot wait until Ms. Stewart's version of this show starts and she can show that amateur how it's done. BTW, the one of the "ladies"--one must use that term loosely when referring to them--on The View also said that when women come on the show they always tell guests how beautiful they are, how good they look, etc. Hell, they spend half an interview sometimes talking about what someone is doing to keep her skin looking so good (and they know it's a game because everybody can tell it's a chemical peel). So for them to cop an attitude about someone calling herself beautiful, while Barbara Walters sits with that soft focus camera and funeral parlor lighting is somewhat laughable to me.

LOL... I saw the View, LOL... OK, my 'view" I don't disagree with all the Audrey comments, yes, she's young, yes, I agree she wasnt a PM, and yes, I agree with reasons stated on her firing. (and yes I agree with weird beauty statements, but I think that may have to add to her insecurities, and she'd be a good candidate for Starting Over!! ) Anyway, from what I've seen, I want to comment on how wrong the guys were! John is so arroagant and disrespectful its annoying to me, I sure hope someone brings him down a peg. The guys refused to make this task a success by being "clowns" they in no way gave thier all. They caused Audry to fail.. I wonder if there wasnt more negative Audry coments by the guys. John is smart, when she volunteered and he lambasted her, noticed he was being observed, he knew he could get her fired by not being the best worker.. he purposefuly (imho) set her up for failure in a few respects. HOWEVER, she also failed as a PM, she didnt add much as a Project Manager, she did however do a good job considering her age, but the other team seemed to do much better, from what I was able to see... anyways... just wanted to add how angry John and "the boys" got me - oh and I think she had a good point when she mentioned it was still boys against the girls... part is this show picks for good "TV" whatever that means...

"those of us that walk away winning win more than just the loss" For some strange reason I took this to mean that even the losers will get something out of this (new opportunities)... so they are all winners The only connection I could see re Audrey's 'looks' & her firing was what she made of them. I have to confess I always get a bang out of DTs boardroom sidebars regarding the candidates looks. Theyre so honest and on point, so politically incorrect and an amusing exploration of human nature. Its an entertainment show after all.

I haven't liked John from day 1. Something about him rubs me the wrong way.

In the preview for next weeks show....Donald Trump said that they were going to have to re-configure or re-adjust the teams. In the past they have done this when one team had lost too many people.....but, how can he do it this time, when it is book-smart against street-smart?

John does come across as arrogant, but so does Trump. When you have something to back it up you can afford to be a little arrogant in a contest like this. I may not care to know him personally, but at this point I'd hire him over most of the others. Audrey was playing Stephanie's strategy: Complain about everything so if you find yourself in the boardroom you can say "I told them that was wrong!" Then when she took the PM position she wanted to put all the decisions onto everyone else so that again she could point fingers elsewhere. It was her job to make sure they didn't fail no matter what the guys were doing. It was her responsibility to behave in a way that would inspire them to work hard for her. Stephanie did it, and won. Audrey pitched a fit and ranted about her beauty being a liability, further alienating her team. Then she foolishly decided that was the right time to ask for the PM role. Knowing that if they won she would get an exemption and they'd have to put up with her tantrums for another two rounds, what was their incentive to help her win? I missed the Today show but caught Audrey's brief interview on Tony Danza's show. She was wearing jeans and a strapless top (isn't it really cold in NY these days?), and still joking about how "Men love me and boys don't know what to do with me." Not one chuckle from the audience. She did have fabulous hair, though. I also saw the snippet from The View. I don't get how telling their guests that they're beautiful is the same as being jealous or hating them for their looks. That point made no sense to me at all. It's one thing to tell people they're beautiful, and another thing to tell people you're beautiful. If you are, you don't have to tell anyone. They'll see it for themselves.

I think they will have to end the book vs. street smart thing. I also can't believe Chris was foolish enough to chew tobacco--especially on a task and on a task with children involved. Chris the tobacky-chewin' clown!

While I agree that Audrey should have been fired, I almost wished Trump would have fired John as well. It was obvious he didn't even TRY on this task. They are supposed to win as a team and he should have put some effort into it. Chris and the chewing... ewwwww!

I thought John deliberately laid down on the job in order to irritate Audrey and to cause the team to fail so she would be fired! I wish he had been fired instead!!!!!

I have never been a fan John either. He is bullying and subversive, and I suspect as a cog in a large corporation he would be fixated on internal gamesmanship. As for Chris, DT looked embarrassed to be in the same room with him At this point Tana I think is looking like the fave.

Did anyone else catch Audrey's comment that since her parents were both in prison, she "didn't even have a car until she was 17!!!!!" That one was hysterical!

Yes Starshine and Buggles, that was my thought, not that I feel Audrey did exemplary work by any means, its just they did nothing to help the team succeed, they rigged the train to wreck! They didnt want her to get an exemption next week I'm sure!! BTW she was on Fox Morning News, out of New York, she was terrible, they were teasing her and making her read cold copy, do the weather etc. She was dressed better, long black button up shirt from what I remember (and thats not that good! lol) but she was squinting trying to read the cue card before breaking for commerical... Wow, that's harsh having to grow up with your parents with that kind of record... I just cant help to like her, but she does come off as a deer in the headlights!!
