I am sooooo pissed off at myself. I can't believe I fell asleep on the couch last night at 8:45 p.m. and missed the boardroom and the cab ride!!!

I totally thought they were stifling back laughter.

If you watch again, when they are getting IN to the cab, as Josh is sitting down and the next two are talking, he is smiling and talking.

In another shot, I thought Josh was going to laugh, but the nest shot shows him putting his hand over his mouth. Jen kept looking over at the other guys, to see if anyone else was laughing, and she smiled.

I think they all shared a good laugh at it.

I personally think the cab sequence and "exit" is BS. If you watch, Rebecca doesn't even BRING a suitcase to the boardroom. As if she isn't getting fired? Nobody "brought" it for her either.

Another thing, as if those are the size of the suitcases that people bring for a 3 month stay in New York. And AS IF men don't use those long fold-over type suit carriers. Why do they always show them carrying these little stewardess size pull-totes.

I also thought the four "reaction" shots in the boardroom were a little unbelievable. But hey, not much of this show is believable anyways.

The show is repeated on cable on Friday nights (maybe CNBC or something) for any of you that missed it.

I think it has been reported before that the cab shots are staged. The suitcases are all empty as well. That whole scene is just for television :-) I think I read that the cab goes around the block and comes back so they can pack and leave???

ITA with Kep that these contestants are not taking this interview seriously.

The smirks in the cab were probably due to the shock they were all experiencing. They each were probably all secretly happy that they weren't the only one fired. Jen probably figured she was on thin ice anyways and was overjoyed Trump fired Josh as well!

I think they decided before they got into the cab that they were not going to say anything, and then with both the crowded conditions and the camera pointed directly at them, had a hard time saying nothing and not laughing!

Jan, I remember reading a long time ago that the walk from the building to the cab was filmed before the show began taping so that no one could observe the building and spoil the "boot" order. The actual comments in the cab are taped after the firing. This season, I'm not so sure about that - as I recall it has been less obvious that what they were wearing in the boardroom is not what they're wearing stepping into the cab.
Clearly though the shots last night of all four of them loading the cab would have been shot after the boardroom.

Wouldn't Barnett/Trump have to have planned a mass firing long in advance? They just lost three episodes. Since the show is taped over a short period of time wouldn't sponsors and corporate participants already have been lined up for the three "lost" episodes? I suspect this was all planned well in advance, either as the mass firing we just witnessed or as a series of double firings, whichever opportunity presented itself first and best.

I couldn't agree more Adven. I think the Wes/Maria firing went went with viewers, and the producers knew that the show would need some new twists this season.

I can't resolve whether it was a planned MASS firing, or if Trump just had some wiggle room throughout the season, to fire more than one a few times.

But you're right, the numbers of original contestants, and the date of the finale didn't line up, so something had to give.

Before DT's comment about (paraphrased) Montauk being the best fishing in the world, I'd never heard that before. I doubt it very much. It's comments like that that totally turn me off business professionals and the whole corporate / business world. It's all fake and phony. And I'm glad I'm almost totally out of it.

Cabo San Lucas is the Sports Fishing Capital of the World and the Marlin Fishing Capital of ...

Lake Cachita, Arkansas is the Striped Bass Fishing Capital of the World

Campbell River, BC, Canada is the Salmon Capital of the World

Drayton, North Dakota is the Catfish Capital of the World

Kona, Hawaii, the Pacific Blue Marlin Fishing Capital of the World

and the Billfish Capital of the World

Lake Erie is the Freshwater Fishing Capital of the World

Lake Eufala in southeast Alabama is the Bass Fishing Capital of the World

Mercer Wisconsin is the Loon Capital of the World

Port Clinton, Ohio is the Walleye Fishing Capital of the World

montauk is great. i was there the summer after i graduated from high school, more than a few years ago. it really has not changed very much at all. i don't know about the fishing, i stayed on dry land :-). but it is so far away from the insanity of manhattan! its worth going to, just to say you've made it to the tip of long island :-)

I have known Montauk over the past 4 decades and fishing is one of the main sports found there. I don't know "world rankings" but I definitely associate fishing with the area.

I believe the Montauk Chamber of Commerce would be biased -- not an impartial party. Their "vote" doesn't count.

I bet that the store that had the baseball thing made more money that day than usual. Maybe they lost on the baseball stuff, but they had all those people drawn in, with their family, friends, milling around while the batters were on line, buying other stuff.

I was thinking that the store prolly will make more money in the long run due to the publicity of the event and how the ppl were treated...when the parents need a sports item they will remember how well their kids were treated and go back there

When I was growing up, we had a house in Hampton Bays, LI, which is about 30 miles from Montauk. Montauk has great fishing. And great shopping!

I was so mad at my mother when she sold that house....

My son told my mother and anyone else who would listen that she made the best fried chicken in the world. True? No, but in my son's opinion it is. Donald Trump needs to be the best, he needs to have the best and he needs to give the best.

He's one of those very rare individuals who never seemed to get past the stage of personal development where you tie a big bath towel around your neck, wear your favorite set of underoos, and proclaim yourself to be Superman!

I'm not mocking him, I used to be Wonder Woman a few years back, then I had a very big ego crushing experience. Now I'm not Wonder Woman, but I'm still mistress of my own domain.

I believe that Montauk might just be the best place The Donald ever went fishing, or maybe it's a place where he and his children are able to relax and be a family. Who knows?

But The Donald knows he's on national TV. He's just promoting the prize he gave to the winning team. (It may be the best to him. If he fishes, I'm sure he's fished other waters.) "Montauk, the best fishing...." Say "great", but not "the best". Just something more that turns me off corporate anything.

The thing that irritates me with DT is how he always says 'you will have a great time'...how does he know?? I don't think Jen had a great time at the Hockey reward!!

LMAO at my mental image of The Donald fishing. HIM? Actually, putting bait on a hook and putting the hook in the water and catching a fish and reeling it in? HAHAHA! I don't think so.

But I agree with Gemma... 100% of the things out of The Donald's mouth are "the best" or "the biggest" or "the most famous". Most of the time, when referring to his properties, but also when referring to the company involved in that week's task.

FWIW, San Diego has always been known as "America's Finest City." Has America really voted on that? Hmmm... I'm thinking no. But we are still "America's Finest City" and will continue to be so in our own little minds. :-)

I've driven by many burger joints that have "world famous pastrami". I've always wondered about that.

But if the Pastrami was made by a famous place in Italy then it would be WORLD FAMOUS pastrami.

Lots of our salami and pastrami are from companies who have been making the stuff for hundreds of years in Italia.

Anyways, I think DT was just copying MS Apprentice. HE chose the boardroom contestants instead of the PM. Also, I dont see why all four were fired. Mind you, we hardly saw any 'real' debate in the boardroom.

For instance, the guy on the ballmachine...why fire him? he was TOLD to stay there and do that job. The guy who loved baseball had a good idea but it was changed by the PM. Did the guy who came up with the original idea deserve to be fired? I'm not sure

I truly feel that the win was determined by the CHOICE of the sport. Golf is an expensive sport. A set of clubs is a few bucks!! and many people are constantly buying new clothes and gear.

Baseball, on the other hand, is more a kid's sport. mom and dad will buy the basics and the kid will use it until wrecked. Most people do not buy themselves tons of baseball gear unless a beerleague team.

Donald Trump was on a golf course. Carolyn runs a golf course. A golf course was one of the final Prizes on Past apprentice. Surely the baseball team must be clueless to have chosen baseball.

just my opinion.
