what extra clips? which yahoo site? I am missing out ??? Yep, Marcella had some good ideas and the others just goofed off instead of implementing them. I couldnt believe that that guy spent time on the phone trying to get a celebrity to come INSTEAD of the celebrity chef which is what he was delegated to do. I was really surprised marcella didnt bring up how she was completely ignored and then Mocked when Big P*ssy wasnt her choice of celebrity. That really made me laugh! Marcella looked horrified. "How can we put THAT on Fliers!!? Come see Big P*ssy!!" That truly should have come up in the boardroom. Talk about undermining the PM!! As for jim, he is a smart man. I knows he can talk 'around' marcella in the boardroom if she makes it further in the show. I dont think Jim will win this show but he sure seems headed for final three in my opinion.

Ryan is one of those people who has to be the one to come up with the ideas or he's out. He did wonderfully as the superhero because it was his idea. I thought that both he and Amanda should have been dismissed last night. If I were hiring, it would be Dawna or Leslie, but I do like Marcella, Bethany and (much to my shock) Jim.

I can't believe how much I like Jim now! He was so sweet (or at least nice) to give Marcella that pep talk. I believe he was sincere. I think Amanda is a big bully/meanie. I loved Ryan until last night's episode. Now I think he should go, followed by Dawna. Ryan's little "tantrum" when they walked back into the conference room made him look terrible. He was lucky that Marcella didn't even mention bigpussy. (Who is that anyways?) I was so glad that Martha and gang saw right thru Ryan and Amanda's strategy to sit back and let Marcella fail and fry.

Sunshyne, we only see about 10 minutes of footage from a very long conference room scene. I doubt Marcella neglected to mention Big Pu$$y; they just chose to show other discussions. Jim likes Marcella and I believe his help was sincere. The simultaneous truth is that he would rather compete against her than Amanda or Ryan. Not necessarily because they are stronger players either; they just don't like him. Both he and Bethany bonded with Marcella early on. On every task, with every team, on both shows the first order of business seems to be the ear marking of who they want fired in case they lose. If that person is the PM they all kick back with the philosophy, give them enough rope to hang themselves. This backfires most everytime. It is time they realize that this attitude gets back to Martha (and Trump). Play to win and stop with the buddy system. Your best friend just may be the one who fails. This is not Survivor. Martha has repeatedly said that her company is a family. She is looking for more than just a team player. She is looking for heart too. Why don't they see this? Amanda seemed so confused at to what Martha was seeking in an employee. None of them get the TV entertainment angle either. Questioning why someone is still there is fruitless. Just do your best, you meatheads.

I found last night rather sickly. First, I agree with Fruitbat that during the pre-execute the project phase, more time is spent on criticism and gloom than actually acheiving the goal of the project. The editing foreboding who will not win ("I definitely see us winning this one") is getting old. Second, Martha and her self-serving blabber about her company. HURL. The Donald does the same thing, but it doesn't sound nearly as self-serving (maybe cause we expect it from him). Third, loud speak and whining in the boardroom. Can someone say hot potato. Let he give it to you. If Martha was so concerned about image, etc., she would fire any yeller/whiner. Can you see a person going into a meeting with K-Mart for MLSO and whining about how their boss had a bad idea and you did not think it would ever work. Fourth, WHY do I watch this? I barely do. So, my rant of the morning. Have a great day all. Dalm.

You all have covered about all my thoughts on this show. How do you do that? LOL I too, am starting to like Jim. Marcella is probably my favorite person on the show because she is very likable. I also like the red head lady on her team. I was very happy to see Amanda go.

I'm surprised, each time the camera is on Leslie, that she's on the show. Is she an "under the radar" person, or am I just not observant? And, yeah, Jim is seeming like a better person, but could never, ever represent Martha. His behavior is too unpredictable. I loved the hopeful looks, on the faces of the possible evictees, when Marcella made the dumb remark about Martha "for some reason" not wanting to tap into the Hispanic market. They thought she was gone, for sure, but she sort of managed to get her foot out of her mouth. Marcella may have passion, and may be a great worker, but she is just too damned whiny! They'd find her, cowering inside a cupboard, sobbing that someone had hurt her widdle feelings, on a daily basis. Ah, heck, I don't think there are any standouts. It will be interesting, to see Martha's choice.

I would just like to gloat that I have loved Jim from the start. I am a true believer. LOL I totally think he could be with MSLO. The telling statement about his behavior early on was that he was treating it like a game. I think his passion and heart is something I would want in an employee. I think he would be intensely loyal to Ms. Stewart. Tish - Whenever I see someone with horrible coloring in their hair, I think B.D.J. in my head. Bad Dye Job. Leslie is mot definitely a BDJ. I need her GONE. Especially after seeing her website. Did you enjoy seeing Martha's tablecloth closet for the same reason that one enjoys knowing that Aaron Spelling has a "gift wrapping room" in his mansion? I personally didn't get to see the show last night. I taped it but the audio on my digital box was messed up, so I have it with no audio. I was kind of bummed, as it was what I was going to watch this morning while eating breakfast. Oh well. I guess I'll wait for the repeats. I tried so hard to stay away from this area, so I could enjoy the show, but seeing as I have to wait until next week, I had to know who went home. Yay Jim! Dalm - I am liking the newer, more ranting, more aggro Dalm!! LOL

Do any of the contestants have a clue about what Martha (or Trump) is looking for? She keeps calling it a job interview, but when you interview for a job, you know what the job is, the requirements, etc.

Well, she has made it clear that it's for an executive position in MSLO. I'm sure there are lots of options open and Ms. Stewart would have them doing something that plays to their strengths. But I just cannot imagine how someone could say, as Amanda did last night in the conference room, that people want someone real, not someone "perfect." Hello?! This is Martha Freaking Stewart in front of you. And her repressed daughter. Don't try to demean perfection, Amanda, because it's bound to fail. I was so thankful Marcella could at least offer a reasonable thing she could do--help market MSLO to the growing Latino market. All Amanda could say was that she likes to dig in her garden.

When I think of Amanda's discussion re: what she wants out of her career, I harken back to poor Kwame, who was acused of having a great background but no focus for a future. At least that was what one of Trump's minions thought. Amanda's latino comment was a bomb that for her sake luckily did no go off. The whole show was a mess. The ever-agressive Dalm. Thanks Eeyeor

Didn't Amanda say something to the effect that Marcella didn't really fit in as the executive type? I coulda sworn she intimated to Ms Stewart in the boardroom that Marcella was out of her element because she was only a chef...I remember thinking....doesn't MS consider herself a "chef" of sorts? I think Amanda was clueless as to what Ms Stewart is looking for... Right now I think Marcella is the only one who has any inkling of what would be a good fit for MSO...

I don't recall Amanda making a Latino comment. I remember Marcella, however, saying that it would behoove Ms. Stewart to work harder to enter the Latino market, which is 40 million strong. I just watched the video on the Apprentice: Martha Stewart site and here's what Marcella says: "If you're looking for someone who's absolutely passionate about what she does--in my case it being food--then I'm the person for you. For some reason you've not wanted to tap into the Latin-Anerican market, uh, which is, there's 40 million of us in the United States... Ms. Stewart: Oh, we definitely want to tap into the Latin-American market. Marcella: That's why I think God put me in this chair right now. People have called me the Mexican Martha Stewart, which is kinda crazy, but I don't want to be the Mexican Martha Stewart. I want to help you translate all this so you are the Mexican Martha Stewart, I think my community is hungry for someone like you. And I think that's how I would be an asset to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia." Charles looks impressed at what Marcella has just said--the Latino market is an undeniable force in American marketing, so Leslie, with her coppery hair, reiterates these points about Ms. Stewart in the Latino market [but IIRC they were edited out of the show last night]. In fact, she is criticized by Ms. Stewart for her poor salesmanship after Leslie talks about how good she is at sales. The ever-accurate tisha

Um... I remember the other lady...not Amanda... who said she identified herself with Marcella...and said she wanted Marcella to do well because they were both Latina... I believe she was the first one to bring up the latino subject... Can't remember everyone's names... isn't Amanda the blonde who got booted?

Yeah, Amanda is the blonde who got booted. Leslie [the sorta red head] and Marcella talked about Latino marketing, but Marcella started it and Leslie followed. But I honestly don't remember Leslie saying it during the show! LOL. I mean, I saw it on the Yahoo clips, but I have no recollection of it on MS:A.

Leslie...that's her name... I remember when Martha was asking Marcella's team mates why they wanted to see her fail, Leslie was the one who said she didn't want to see Marcella fail because Marcella was latina, like herself. After that, Marcella started talking about marketing to the latina demographic. If Marcella said something about being latina before Leslie's comment, I missed it.

Oh OK....yeah. No, you're right. Leslie said she wanted to see Marcella succeed as a Latina, etc. Then Marcella gave her speech [above] and then Leslie gave another one that I think was edited out about developing the Latino market, too. *phew*

Hmmm, interesting angle. I am a Native American Scottish Swiss German. I would be interested in helping Martha develop the natural food alternatives to shortbread, cheese and beer. And sausages, can't forget the sausage. The all-natural Martha dog? Maybe I could stick a feather in the cheese?

Is everyone else starting to like Jim, too? Weird, because I couldn't stand him at first, but he's starting to grow on me... Bethenny too. My recaps of Martha's Apprentice are here: http://moms.vocis.com/archives/what_else_is_on/_martha_/

Yes, Jim is oddly compelling. With the emphasis on "odd". I think that Bethanny and Jim are becoming more likeable because a lot of the others are coming across as arrogant and snotty. Maybe the fact that Jim is so high energy is serving him well over the long term of this competition. Many of the others seem to be flagging.

I read that this show has been cancelled. Surely not before the winner is chosen! It is not on the schedule for this week. Is it because of Thanksgiving or is it gone?

It's not gonna be renewed for another season. It's not been doing well in the ratings. But according to all TPTB, they never planned for it to be on for more than one season. As my momma says, whatEVAH!

The Yahoo Apprentice website says it returns November 30, and the finale is on December 21.
