Yep, with that anagram, I am sure they want us to believe that it is DT. But I bet it is a monkey...

The ratings for the first show were pretty bad, and it actually lost viewers as the show went on. Given Fox's record on this, we may not see the end of the show.

They did put up to the broadcast of Lord Of the Rings..I didn't expect the ratings to be that high.

I am meekly joining this conversation...I watched it and laughed through the entire thing...

I think the first guy was eliminated because he was smart and quick thinking and anticipated questions.....(he had the answers to Mr. N Paul Todd's questions before he even asked...) .. they probably figured that he'd catch on before any one else ... or question things in the near future.... that is of course if a person is choosing who to eliminate...other wise ...if it is a monkey or a parrot.....well...we will see next week! From the previews it looks to me like the men are once again in the 'board' room! ....

O.K. and I bet when the 'project leaders' go back and tell the others that you can't be eliminated as a project leader ...yada ...yada...yada...that that particular rule will flip-flop in the near future!

well, I love the airline commercial where the Chicken is randomly pecking and that is how they come up with Fare Rates LOL.

At our fair they have contests where the chicken poops in a square and it will mean a winner. This COULD be a similar decision making approach.....imagine the Contestant's faces when they realize chicken poop was the deciding factor ROTFL

Just a sick theory......hee hee

If the boss were DT then they would be publicizing it by now with the bad ratings from last week in.

My husband thought it would be a monkey in the back too. Maybe one with some Trump hair?

I forgot to mention that I heard on Fox News several days ago that in truth there is neither a prize nor a job for the winner. Anyone hear this or know anything about it?

I posted this in the wrong thread at first and changed it to the right one.

According to TVtome.com, there IS a real prize...$250,000! I wouldn't put much stock in Fox "News"....it's more often sensational than objective and/or accurate.

FOX busts down the boardroom doors and invites viewers into the outrageous unscripted comedy MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS, a new series from the producers of the hit FOX reality spoof "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé." With business-oriented reality shows ripe for the picking and overly confident young entrepreneurs believing they can conquer the world, MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS gets down to funny business Sunday, Nov. 7 (9:00–10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX (Airing on Global in Canada)

What ‘My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé' did for romance-reality, MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS will do for business-reality," said Gail Berman, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company

This comical hybrid of scripted, improvisational and reality series stars "Mr. N. Paul Todd," introduced as the founder and CEO of a multibillion-dollar company, IOCOR. The professional prank begins when 12 real contestants – young, overachieving, type-A business professionals – arrive in Chicago and begin competing in frustrating and ridiculous challenges. This dozen have the drive, self-assurance and ego that it takes to think they can jump to the top of the corporate ladder. They take their relationship with "Mr. Todd" and the competition seriously, plotting their strategies to win his approval, an enormous cash prize and a lucrative opportunity to join this powerful, yet unknown, investment organization.

The $250,000 cash prize is real, but that's about it.

Unbeknownst to these "business savvy" participants, IOCOR is a fictitious company and "Mr. Todd" is really actor William August setting out to dupe the 12 know-it-all participants. As Steven Bailey did in "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé," August uses his improvisational skills to test the limits of the unsuspecting candidates through unrealistic conversations, circumstances, and of course, questionable business challenges with humiliating consequences for the losing team.

Through a series of tasks, this phony climb to the top will feature unsuspecting teams utilizing their highly touted business backgrounds, educations and strategies to compete against each other. Each week, the losing team sends two finalists to the boardroom to plead their case with "Mr. Todd" before one of them is eliminated. What they don't know is that "Mr. Todd" isn't the one really making the decisions. It will remain a secret to the contestants until the last elimination that a mystery boss has actually been deciding their fate. In an eye-opening, jaw-dropping turn, the identity of the real boss will be the biggest surprise of all.

MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS is produced by Rocket Science Laboratories. Jean-Michel Michenaud and Chris Cowan serve as executive producers.

That blonde women was suppose to be his wife and it told you mwho she was. But who is that red headed girl contestant I've seen her in another reality show. I think anyone who watches reality shows would find this funny.

While I don't recognize the red-headed contestant, the dude that plays Todd's right-hand man looks very familiar. Does anyone recognize him from his work?

Is it just me or does it look like some of the women are about ready to bolt off this show? I'm ready for at least one of these women to start walking. The only one I don't see walking anytime soon is Damien, because N. Paul Todd is like Donald Trump to him.
