That Jim guy is nuts. How can any team win when it's saddled with him?

Was hoping Jim would get the pink slip this time.

Chuck really did not want to stay in the game.

Wow. Ms. Stewart was amazing this week. I missed seeing her during the first half hour and then when she showed up, she was a steel-belted diva of Streisandesque proportions.

"Women don't cry in business." Indeed. "I've made so many sacrifices to build this company and I have never thought about quitting. I went to jail! I can't imagine how someone would just want to quit!"

"People on teams don't complain, kvetch, or whine."

"The Dutch girls were tacky....The Dutch have Vermeer and Van Gogh! Don't tell me you don't know anything else Dutch!"

She was brilliant.

Count me as as one of the many who really dislikes Jim. I also wish they would light Ms. Stewart better in the conference room.

Agree with you, Tishala.

What do you think of Dawn? She was bullied by Jeff and Jim. How can she overcome her situation?

I'm hoping to see Dawn stay at least long enough to watch Jim take the walk of shame. The way they all jumped on Jim's bandwagon in the loft was disgusting. They're all so scared of him it's ridiculous. Nobody else is ready to stand up to him because they're afraid he'll single them out in the boardroom. I loved that Dawn heard everything and then came prepared to the boardroom with a list of all the things she did for the project. Smart girl. She had evidence to back up her work, but he had nothing specific to back up his complaints. I'm glad that Martha and her consultants saw through him.

Meanwhile I still can't name any of the members of Primarius because there's no drama there. They're good, but not enough screen time.

What is Bethany's problem with Dawn? She's had a bug up her butt about Dawn since the beginning. And why was she acting like a streetwalker? Did they really think that's how you sell tulips? I don't think that's the kind of stunt you want to pull when you're trying to impress a female boss.

I'm like Chuck -- not a leader (supervisor) kinda person. Guess he (or me) would not be right for the Apprentice job. But Jim?! He should have gone before anyone else. That team is not going any place with him on it.

This show is a little shaky. It may get better as Martha feels more confident with the format. She seems unsure in her speaking at times, out of her element.

She was better in the conference room last night but I was disappointed that neither she nor George put Jim in his place. Certainly he needed to be knocked down a peg. He interupped George several times and was not called on it. She is not using Alexis much at all. She immediately turns to George everytime she has a question. It would have been better to have two advisors equal in expericence.

The teams are not balanced well at all. By dividing themselves the way they did it created a huge lack of business sense on Matchstick.

From the little I have seen, Primarius, has some solid people. The promo's show some strife so looks like we will see more of them.

I am warming to this show. I like Martha, always have.

Fruitbat, I think you meant Charles (not George) though I keep thinking "George" when I see Charles.

Also what is with him and the cigar in his mouth. Does he need a pacifier? (And why in the world would they even show that?)

I really like this show! I think that it is better than the last two seasons of The Apprentice.

They have the one team that is full of wacky creative people who can’t get along and get anything done and then the other team that has a lot of corporate experience. It is an entertaining contrast and one that really hits home with me. Also the contestants are fun to watch (if not likeable).

I find Martha to be very entertaining and her delivery is very good. For example, when she says near the end: “Send in the three <long pause> candidates”, you can sense what she really wants to say. Pretty funny!

I agree about the cigar and Alexis, both of whom add little to the show. I do like Charles though.

I am really enjoying this show alot. It's not perfect, by any means, but it is entertaining to me. I have like the challenges so far.

I like Martha. But is she pronouning "candidates" like canadates? It sounds like it to me and I always cringe.

The cigar thing is really creepy and makes that guy look foolish. I'm sure he is not foolish, but it just looks stupid.

Alexis is in her mother's shadow; all the same, Martha does rely on her. If you look carefully she does turn to her for support.

THe guy is her ceo, isn't he? Of course she's going to want to know what he has to say.

Both Martha and Alexis have got to loosen up. Martha was given the perfect platform this week when she was questioned about how the team could get along -- her responses were awesome tv.

Alexis has a hard role, however she is an observer.

Let's not forget that Trump's Carolyn also often, especially at the first season, seems exactly like Alexis is seeming right now: kind of demure and spineless. However I don't think either of them are.

The real problem with this show is that when Mark Burnett and The Trumpster approached Martha for this show, she was still known as hard-ass, stony Martha, which would have made for a great Apprentice show, but since she's been sprung, she seems to be trying to portray a kinder, gentler, less perfect, more relaxed Martha. The new Martha may bring in better ratings for her daytime show, but we need the bi**chy, perfectionist Martha to make her Apprentice show interesting..

and how very Emily Post to send a thank-you note after you dismiss someone!

Kelli, you didn't think she seemed b**chy last night? I thought she was amazingly mean and she refused to mince words. "Tacky." "If you cry, you're out of here. Women don't cry in business, my dear." Those aren't kinder, gentler Martha things, IMHO, especially since the "women in business don't cry" line was delivered to a contestant trying to make nice with Ms. Stewart and get on her good side. Even the way she dismissed Chuck last night, with the "good-bye" was so much more....cutting than "you're fired." Heehee.

But your mileage may vary.

This morning Don Imus interviewed Martha via tele. She promised many more surprises to come and that the show is going to get better and better. Don told her that Alexis is rather dull, Martha told him to wait that she will evolve in the show and it will be amazing to see and that Alexis, herself, is a huge surprise in the show. Intriguing huh

I like the show so far but I agree with an earlier poster that Martha seems stiff. Her words don't seem to flow smoothly, but I'm sure she will get better and better.

Anything else interesting Kristy? He interviewed Mr. Koppelman yesterday morning, too, and made fun of him for the cigar. I only catch Imus when I'm sick, though, cause it airs here from 3-6 AM and...well...he's not worth waking up that early.

That was about it Tish, short interview. Martha was in a limo on her way to her other show. I watched the program yesterday as well and caught the Koppelman interview. I am a huge fan of The I'Man but I would not get up that early to see him either, heck I even buy his coffee and salsa products

I didn't think Martha was hard enough. Hoping to see her a bit "edgier" in future shows. I am glad to hear Alexis emerges...

I’m an office manage of a cpa firm and I agree with Martha about crying at the work place. That wouldn’t fly with me regardless of gender. I don’t think that makes her cold. There is enough to deal with everyday that an emotional crying employee wouldn’t “fit in” ;).

I was wondering if maybe tptb cut the reference “you just don’t fit in” because it was giggled at and not well received from the viewers?

The Jim guy would have fit in better on Survivor or BB. He doesn’t seem very stable, to me. His eye rolling is so immature.

I like my bosses to be straight forward…it’s less likely to misinterpret what they expect or need from me. I hate bosses that indulge employees neurosis that is why I would have expected her to write her adios letter to Jim this week. I heard her say on her daytime show that she’s not privy to the shenanigans that go on in the living quarters. Maybe this will change.

Although I feel bad for the Matchstick team and their losing ways, I couldnt beleive the tactics they used to sell those flowers. Those Dutch Girls were out of place--they dont represent Martha Sewart image--and the way the women were spreading the word on the flowers, going up to cars on the street, I kept thinking that all that's missing is a squeegee.
I would love to hear what Martha really thinks of some of these competitors. When you think of how things were when she started out, {not many women were doing business} how tough she would have to be, and then hear these whiners--and I'm oncluding John--she must wonder how any of them got this far in life.

I think Martha has Jim's number already... and knows he will give her ample opportunities to boot him during his time left...

But the PM needed to go last night. He didn't seem like the kind who would continue to cause problems, so an opportunity to say "You don't Fit In" may not be so readily available next time...

Made perfect sense to me...
