I found it interesting that Chris got reamed for delegating the negotiating when Kendra did the very same thing (and won). Its too bad for his sake that he probably wasnt aware of this little fact. I think DT admired his fighting instincts and he did raise a very valid point. Anyone else notice that he seems to have endless multiple personalities (brazen hardazz in the boardroom, mild-mannered suckup in 'the suite,' dumb tobacco chewing clown, highly successful real estate wheeler-dealer in real life, etc)...

I am so hoping Chris goes next week.....
He raised his voice to George, and called Carolyn by her first name at least 3 times. He needs to take his tobacoo and hit the road jack.


Carolyn Kepchner <sp? > spoke at the "Festival of Ideas" on the cmaopus of WVU this past Monday, I alas was too lazy to drag myself to the student union to hear her discuss "Ethics In Business".

I agree that Chris had an overly combative tone in the boardroom with Carolyn & George but since he is so young, I think DT was forgiving. I suspect if he was 5-10 years older, he would not have been. Also when George mentioned the raised voice he immediately said 'I'm sorry sir.'

In general I think DT has a bit of a soft spot for the younger ones who defend themselves vigorously if their defense is valid. Also according to the nbc site Chris fancies himself a young DT, and I think he takes a special interest in those mini-me's too.

I'm glad John is finally gone. But I'm not sure out of who's left will win though. I don't like Chris though.

And Chris didn't even call Carolyn by her correct name. He called her "Caroline."

Watching2 ... They show the Apprentice again during the week ... Last week it was on at 8 p.m. on CNBC. Last year the second showing was edited to show more of the boardroom, but this year I believe they just re-broadcast the show without changing anything.

Didn't it look like the next episode may be a recap? Anyone know if that is right?

Julie, it's a clip show. From Yahoo TV listings:
"What You Missed... an Apprentice Recap", Episode #308.
A showcase of scenes comprises mostly never-before-seen moments.

Regarding last night's show, I thought Chris was going through some sort of chewing tobacco withdrawal in the boardroom. He was totally over the top with his anger, to the point that I thought he was going to get himself fired and ruin my enjoyment over seeing John go! I say give Chris some meds and his tobaccy again, or anger management classes.

But Kendra went on to the first meeting and since it went so well, she left Craig and Tana to do the rest. I noticed no one pointed that out either, but maybe that is why. She started out there, noticed she wasn't needed b/c Tana was doing such a great job, then went to check on other things.

That to me showed signs of an excellent leader!

Thanks, Hootie. I'll have to check my tv book for it. I knew they showed them on there, I'm just not sure when.

Welcome Mary in Idaho aka Drifter! Of course, we'll let you in! They let me in! LOL It's good to hear from you! We'd love to hear your thoughts, too, if you feel comfortable sharing. Mmmmmmmmmm bellinis...... gotta love 'em. :-)

Welcome Mary!

I thoroughly enjoyed this week’s Apprentice (unfortunately a bit of a rarity lately). It was an entertaining show with some good performance by the competitors for a change. I was very happy with the result and I think that Trump made a good decision in firing John. The guy was incredibly sexist (which didn’t help) and he did a terrible job negotiating. I’m tired of Trump dumping everything on the team leader so this was a refreshing change that made sense. After all, he doesn't fire himself every time his staff messes up?

Mary I'm glad you've joined us, and are enjoying yourself so far! I hope you know we are welcoming to anyone who has an opinion!! By posting in here, I already consider you "one of US'. LOL. If you have time, try to check out other areas of the board, as there are so many interesting TV and non-TV threads! I spent my first few years only in the Big Brother area. Now I am all-seeing and all-knowing!! ;-)

I hope to see you and your comments around here next week! Bellinis all around!

George seemed to be making the point that a leader shouldnt delegate the negotiating regardless of the skill of his/her subordinates, because its just too critical of a task to entrust to others. Tana & Craig actually didnt negotiate well at all with 3 of the celebs from a numbers standpoint. If they didnt secure that week-long deal with two of the celebs, Kendra would have been totally hosed.

BTW I am not a fan of Chris either, just trying to understand DT's thinking here. Another point worth noting is that the losing team members all said that Chris did a good job. Thats a pretty amazing feat in this game.

Welcome Mary!

Chris does seem to run hot and cold with no middle ground. I think it was the boardroom following the hotel task that he first blew his top. I remember because at the time it seemed weird since the problems they'd had didn't really involve him. Someone mentioned his name and he just started barking like a mad dog. That's going to get him fired before this is over.

I'd love to see what they left out, because his team said he did a great job but all I saw was him turning to John and acting like John was PM.

I respected John's abilities up until this show, and I'm sure he'll continue to do well in life, but he came across as sexist and clueless. Yes, Chris should've at least known what ideas they were shooting for in the negotiations even if he didn't personally attend. Yes, the women should've opened their mouths the first time something demeaning came out of his. They've never been shy about speaking up before. However, John tried to have it both ways in that he wanted to use the women as brainless eye candy and then complained that they didn't contribute ideas.

On a side note, I'm really getting tired of Bren and his junior high nonsense. "MILF?" Please. Grow up. I can't believe they put that on television. Talk about sexist. When was the last time you saw a man on tv with the word "FILF" pointing at him? I'll think I'll do a happy dance when that guy gets eliminated.

Hey Watching2, was just looking through the TV listings for tonight and saw that CNBC is re-airing last night's Apprentice tonight at 8 & 11(eastern time). Don't know whether you'll see this in time, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

Hey Drifter83204 aka Mary!! Here's a bellini for you! This one's special... with fresh peaches! Yum!

I just have to say... I am SOOOOOOO glad John is gone. I had liked him the first coupla shows, but the last couple he's really gotten on my nerves. The snarky, misogynistic commentst that kept coming outta his mouth just appalled me. And I my jaw literally dropped when he asked the drummer (who was that? Barenaked Ladies?) to bring his drums since he was missing his and wanted to play. Uh, if you are such a know-it-all musician, you know better than to just assume that a well-known will let you pay with his very expensive equipment (although he might've had John asked first, but drums are expensive to repair... much more so than replacing a guitar string or two).

I scared the heck outta my Costa cat when John was fired. I yelled "YES" so loudly, and he gave me a dirty look! <grin> I was so afraid Chris was gonna go. I'm glad he finally got the point across that he couldn't do everything in this task. Whew!

Kendra's team did do it right, though. They let the musicians do much of the talking about what they wanted to offer. They may have lead 'em down a path, but they let the ideas flow. Heck, if all you have to do is offer to play a private gig at someone's house, that's almost a no-brainer. And really not worth a whole lot in auction!

Anyways... yippee! Happy dance! <nd> Bellinis for all!

Rotfl So we all CHEERED when John was fired? Good. I like it when we are all on the same side ha ha

You know, it strikes me that poor John was suffering from that "glorydays" problem that middle-aged guys go thru. So he USED to run a bar, so he USED to hire bands before they were famous, so that makes him THE GUY to do all the talking?? To offer a Houseparty as the big prize means that it is only going to appeal to 'kids' who wont have much money,imho.


I loved the girls rolling their eyes and keeping their mouths shut when John would start his 'pimp-talkin'. It was kinda sad...the poor guy really doesnt have a CLUE!! ROTFL

It will be a surprise for John to see the way he was edited in this last episode. I bet his recall will be a lot different than what he actually SEES on tv LOL.

Chris did a GREAT job of the production and Erin sure has a good way about her.

Anyone here think that maybe Chris is brilliant and knew this could be his last chance to get rid of John?

Me too Costa, and I forgot to count how many times DT wore a pink tie!! I love that I can catch the reruns on MSNBC here on cable!! John was on the Today show, and he was so smooth talking, he said his attitude was that Audrey was too young, it had nothing to do with her being female, and his comments about the pim*ing the girls was a joke all of them shared all day, and of course that darn editing!!

He then went on to promote his website, and his charity work. He was on with the VJ from the challenge. buhbye JOHN! But you know those smooth talkers always seem to get ahead! He was very good at manipulation, and smooth talking, and I never got the feeling he respected women.

I am liking this season way better than last season.
John really acted like a blow hard and deserved to go...I am surprised he didn't hurt his neck kissing his own ass.

The thing about John, is that he came off as nice the first few shows. But if you watched the pre-season online previews, he sounded like he would be a real jerkola. Sounds like it finally came through.
