Follow up -- the philly pizza was good, but it tasted like an open faced stromboli that I make! LOL We used horseradish cheese, roast beef, mushrooms, green peppers and caramelized onions. It was tasty -- but I like my Greek one better (red onions, three kinds of peppers, feta, a bit of mozarella, black olives and herbed olive oil)

Is anyone surprised that Chris was arrested for blowing his top?

LOL !!! I love all of you!!! I didn't want to get modded because with my luck I'd be the first person banned from TVCH. I have an idea -- let's 86 all the other damned threads and hang out in here, American Idol, Amazing Race and Lost threads.

Well piss...

See this is the deal Kep. I belong to some MSN communities, and MSN is nuts about language on their boards (depending how the community is rated). The managers will not only delete a thread but they can ban a member to prevent MSN from running a word scan and shutting down the community. (So that's why I'm a little paranoid because I've seen members get some words by in MSN communities and other members would get banned over another word or posting a questionable link)

I have to click my heels and tell myself "TVCH is not that damned MSN... TVCH is not that damned MSN..."

And here's the real scoop on the credit card:

NET WORTH CHRIS LOST CREDIT
http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/42521.htm

April 11, 2005 -- CHRIS, the tobacco- chewing (make that ex- chewing) contestant on "The Apprentice," is so busted.

Chris, who lost his team's credit card and wasted precious project time trying to get it back, blamed an electronics-store cashier for not returning it.

In truth, Chris had left the card himself in a conference room in the back of the store, where the contestants and crew hung out while taping the show.

The authoritative Web site, realityblurred.com, is reporting that a manager for the store, Best Buy, found the card. But the show was edited to make it seem that the cashier — not Chris — had made the mistake.

On the show, viewers saw Chris fuming as Best Buy employees searched for the card.

"I hope they find the credit card," he muttered at one point, "so I don't have to find an aluminum bat and break someone's kneecaps."

Amazingly, it was not Chris who was fired after his team, the street-smart "Net Worth" team, lost its challenge.

Instead, host Donald Trump fired Angie, who complained bitterly that Chris was really to blame.

"A source close to the Best Buy store's manager said that what we saw wasn't exactly what happened," the Web site said.

"The editing of the show makes Best Buy look bad, but in reality (as opposed to reality tv), this was entirely Chris's screw-up," it said.

Chris — a 22-year-old real estate investor from Las Vegas — became best know on the show for his tobacco-chewing habit, which Trump nearly fired him for until Chris swore to give it up "cold turkey."

I didn't think that the store clerk was responsible - it was Chris's fault for not keeping up with his card. It didn't matter whether the clerk forgot to give it back or not (in which case it would simply have been put aside in the company safe to keep until the customer claimed it). I still don't get why Chris is still there.

Right about now I'm betting Trump doesn't get it either...LOL.

I can see him scratching his head saying to George..."What on earth was I thinking???"

He is not interested in either Chris or Angie. It really doesn't matter, to Trump, the order in which they go.

Trump is doing this show because he wanted to get into the reality show business not because he needs to find an employee this way.

Chris then Angie, Angie then Chris.......eh, doesn't matter.

It's all in the way you phrase it! You'll get the technique.

Saying a person is acting like a jerk an calling them a jerk are two very separate intentions.

One calls attention to an action done by a person.

The other is a judgement about the nature of a person based on actions we see.

The former is an example of discussing what is seen, the latter is name calling/attacking.

I think Tana will be up against Kendra in the end.

Alex proved himself to be a lousy leader on that last challenge and it was not all due to a weak team. He did not shine in the pizza challenge either. The men are not strong this season. Oliver is lack luster, as well.

Well I finally got to watch my tape, and I must say I agree with a lot of the opinions posted so far. But there is one thing I've kinda noticed that to me seems prevalent throughout this entire season...

Trump seems angry during the boardrooms. Maybe my memory is more faulty than usual, but it seems to me that Trump actually enjoyed himself on previous seasons, and the firings were well thought out and Trump was usually satisfied with his decisions.

I don't see any of that in the current board rooms. It seems to me that any pleasure he got from this show has vanished. He appears angry with the contestants, and ticked off that he can't fire ALL of them at once.

I dunno...maybe its just me. Maybe I'm the one who's no longer having fun....

Kep, I see Trump being angry more, too.

The show gets email supporting dramatic board room scenes so the editing is reflecting this. The board room takes a couple of hours, at the very least, to tape and we see about 7 minutes. I imagine that we only see the moments when Trump has been pushed to the limit with weak excuses, fabricated defenses and sloppy jobs.

This is all about entertainment and I think Burnet is going for conflict and drama. This happens on all reality shows; we only see the strong moments.

I enjoy this show and do not take it very seriously knowing full well that it is all about Trump entering the entertainment business.

Hadn't thought of that, but I think you're right MsBat. I miss the Trump that was serious and firm, while still having a sense of humor about it all. I miss the fun this show used to be....

For nine years I had to deal with a boss who was angry and "dramatic" most of the time (her nick name was psycho sybil, as in the lady who many personalities only nuts!), so I guess that's why the angrier more "dramatic" Trump isn't quite as enjoyable for me....

I'm not convinced that the boardrooms do take hours. I know past contesants have said that. When they had the clocks, you could see that many of the boardrooms went less than an hour. And I never saw one that took close to two hours. Now they have removed the clocks, so it is hard to tell.

Kep & Fruit, I totally agree re The Donald being more angry. My first thought was that his true colors are starting to show (i.e. honeymoon is over)

Maybe he is just having a really bad year

He seems to anger now out of embarrassment when the candidates suck instead of being amused.

He also looks pissed when some of the better candidates become tainted. Ya gotta figure, he knows he wants at least two attractive choices at the end. Not that it really matters in terms of what they will bring to his organization, but in that his hiring choice for his next 'CEO' will be on display to the world. Even though everyone knows it is entertainment, its a potential source of embarrassment. We are all watching presumably to learn what The Donald looks for.

And what will the ratings be like if the F2 absolutely suck. This show is doomed if EVERYONE turns into a loser

The winner of this show does not become a CEO. They "head" a project under close supervision.
