O made fun of Nikki for being worried about someone she cared about who was dying. That sure crossed the line for me.

I didn't see the burn during the third stunt but the first one I saw was when Joe had asked Nikki to sing a song and when she did, everyone clapped or said it was good except for Omarosa and Joe asked if she liked Nikki's song. Omarosa said, "now I know why she didn't win American Idol" and "she's no Fantasia"

O thinks she is classy and 'just psyching them out' but there is nothing classy or intelligent about her, imho

I thought Joe handled O pretty well. Her reaction to him was amusing...she wasn't able to push his buttons and when she realized that she'd just stop talking.

Peeper,
Just to clarify, Toni Ferrari is not actually Nikki's biological sister. Toni calls her "little sister" as in a very good friend/someone she watches over.

To say Omarosa stay trued to her colors is putting it mildly. She sure was over the top. She made Nikki cry because she repeated on air parts of a private conversations Nikki had about someone being shot. She also made reference to her and the trash can. When Joe asked Nikki to sing something Omarosa remarked she can see why she lost. She was utterly despicable. She swims so poorly she couldn't even qualify for the challenge.

I thought Trista was a real trooper to drink those worms because she has a very sensitive stomach.

I think someone else made a good point about O needing to be eliminated when she confessed she couldn't swim and did not participate in that one round. I guess because it was not an elimination round she was able to stay in the game. Oh well.

Why do we give her so much "power"/attention! ? ! ?

Everyone loves a villian! Or haven't we all figured that out by now? This is what she's banking on.

I still enjoyed Omarosa on the apprentice. Sorry but she did make it a fun show. She knows it and those silly tv folks. I've seen her more thing than any other reality show contenstant. She's by far more recongizable. That BK commerical was hilarious!

Heck the promo for Fear Factor had her as the anchoring hook. C'mon now to tell the truth you tuned in more to see what they were going to do to her or what she was going to say. More than any of those other bland contenstants....you know you did :-)

That's why she'll be around for a while, can't say Omarosa and not think the Apprentice.

I don't love her and when I hear her name, I don't think of the Apprentice, I think of
I didn't think she made it a fun show at all, nor do I find her amusing. I thought she was her usual rude, ego centric, arrogant self. I do not believe this is an act. While I do admit pleasure at seeing her screaming with the snakes, it would have been much more enjoyable to see her petrified and spinning around in that water cage. But, no, since she couldn't even pass the swim test, they had to modify that challenge. If that was anyone else, she would have been making fun of them. I think the public is tired of seeing and hearing her. She certainly seemed to get on Joe's nerves as well.

I enjoyed this show. Much as she acts unlikeable, I think that in a way Omarosa added to the show. The other contestants were so friendly and generally relaxed with each other there would have been virtually no tension if she wasn't there. Unfortunately, she was a little too nasty and over the top. Also, what I didn't like was that Nikki let her get to her (I was one of Nikki's seemingly few fans on AI). That was kind of sad to see.

But it was a surprisingly fun show to watch and all of these reality "stars" showed that they have what it takes to compete.

I didn't see Omarosa on 'Apprentice', but it kept flashing that she came in 8th. That's not a very good showing.

I don't remember ever hearing people talk that badly about another contestant on any reality show. Every contestant had something bad to say about Omarosa. She must be insufferable.

I like Ethan and Jenna, and thought they did well and I think they're doing a lot of good with that charity.

Reichen was okay, but he was clearly the weakest male competitor.

Nikki was cute as a button, and I was hoping she would win. I hope she can wrangle some other way to be in the public eye, 'cause she's very appealing.

I don't watch those Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, so I'd never seen Ryan before, but I'd think being a tri-athlete would give him a big advantage. He was respectful, and just went about his business and won.

I was glad to see Nikki again and glad to see her win the $20,000 ... I rooted for her when she was on AI, (not because she was a great singer because I'm no judge of that), but because she was such an appealing hard-working sort of girl. I bet being in the local news again because of her Fear Factor performance gives a boost to her local kareoke business.

Toni Ferrari said over at the Fishbowl that Nikki was up for a record deal with Warner Brothers Records.

Nikki did an interview with TV Guide last week that was mostly about Omarosa, but also mentioned she was close to a recording deal but it wasn't set yet.

Quite frankly Nikki didn't get that much publicity that I saw here in the DFW area.

tivo recorded 90 min for ff 'twins' but it went over. saw the funny skinny guys do the last stunt, but not the other twins and don't know who won.

so... who won the last 25K?

<rooting for the skinny kids - anyone who crawls on a tanker after having lost his shorts gets my vote!>

The skinny guys with the mohawks won.
The buff cowboy team didn't finish the challenge. One brother made it to the top of the tanker and screwed in the pole but the other brother couldn't find the flag, it had dropped into the water. Looking for the flag wasted too much time. They lost.

Sweeeeet!!!! Thanks Willsfan!!

(And NBC suck! At least we got to see the fun team do their stunt, but I'd have like to see them happy at winning.)

They did find the flag and attached it, they just took way to long.
Nathan and Matthew (the mohawk twins)were a lot of fun to watch.

I sent a scathing email to NBC. I'm also sick of their piggy way of shifting the time slots so that if you are recording on a DVR sometimes one minute from one of their shows that you are recording blocks an entire show from another channel.. because my DVR will allow me to schedule two shows being recorded at once but not three and sometimes an NBC show at 9 that runs until 10:01 then blocks a whole slot for 10-11. grr.

Clearly they were sure we'd all be watching The Contender right after FF and wouldn't mind that we got the ending of FF at the beginning of the next show. WRONG.

That's exactly it - they think it will work in their favour, that we'll just stay and watch the next show but in fact we just miss the end of the shows we do want to watch and hate NBC for it.

Agreed! The technique of deliberately running over the time slot is incredibly annoying. ABC has a really nasty habit of doing this with Lost and then Alias. I watch both shows but I'm getting tired of missing the last two minutes of Alias and I may just give up on it.

I just set my TiVo to manually record the hour and say "be damned" to the missing minutes.

It is quite obnoxious. I wish they'd redo the software on TiVo to allow more percise recording than 5 minute increments. If the networks are going to play dirty because of DVR technology, I think the DVR people should fight back!

(I also wish TiVo had an over lap option. That is if two shows over lapped slightly, I could tell the TiVo to record what it could, instead of it being an "all or nothing" proposition.)

My DVR doesn't allow that.. I can start early or run late but not the other way.

And I wish the DVR had the overlap too.. years ago I had a VCR that was smart like that. It was a digital one that was ahead of its time, and later discontinued when they put that technology in more expensive items like TVs.
