It was a fairly good show tonight. Aimee's team lost and of course they all ganged up on Aimee and she was fired. And the other team got to move back into the house. There was a bit on the romance but not much and no comment from Trump on it.

The task was to set up a contest in a mall for people to sign up to win free vacations with Travelocity. The team that got the most people to enter the contest won. There was a catch. Most of the shoppers in the mall were hispanic, and many did not speak English.

Surya got to sit in on the boardroom and didn't say a word. It will be interesting to see if Trump jumps him for not saying anything like he did to Aaron when he fired him last week and used that for part of his justification.

I only got to watch the last 40 minutes, which really highlighted how very little of the tasks they are showing us nowadays, because I saw only the tail end of the task, and then they moved very quickly to the boardroom.

This looks like it's going to be another one of those seasons where Trump isn't crazy about hiring any of the candidates. I think he really likes the Sean/Bill type and I don't see any this time. I'm sure he would love to find 'the right woman' too but they can't seem to cast any on the show. He seemed disappointed by Aimee not working out.

I don't think Aimee had ever watched a reality tv show before. Clueless.

Okay, I'm extremely riled up. So riled up that I am writing this post before reading all of the previous ones.

So......racism and stereotyical views WINS out in the boardroom?!

I live in a province that is approx 30% asian. It is not unusual to be the only blonde within eyesight when shopping. I would never assume that a person cant speak english based on their ancestry!! DT and his son really got my blood boiling.

His snotty little comments about how the PM "just needed to look around" and she could "SEE" that there were lots of latinos shopping there.

Excuse me but how can you tell whether they speak english BY looking at them!!??

That kind of stereotypical racism bugs me.
***

Okay, on to the show. So another lame task...we werent told a budget, we werent told much. We saw that loud guy dragging unwilling women by their arms to sign up. I would go nutz if someone came up and grabbed me like that. Seriously, it could be considered assault. That one girl was trying to hide behind her friend and that loud guy hollared out that he needed a girl on each arm. Her body language was really upset when they showed her walking a short time later.

At this point of the show, I am OUT. Seriously, I've had enough. This show is not about finding a legitimate worker. Each week we watch a team pick a scapegoat and go for it.

I was really hoping that the tent/mansion gimmick was going to stop that. Instead, it jsut seems more vicious.

Sun, we also have a large asian population, but to be honest, language wouldn't likely be a problem. In Santa Ana, at MainPlace, to be honest, there probably would be a problem. Santa Ana is something like 85% hispanic. This isn't to say that none of them speak English, far from it,

Pamy it was Weinermr who joined us and he got my take home desserts too and enjoyed them, lol. I got his, but wanted mine! Olive Garden.

Oh and Surya did make a comment or two, and really there wasn't much opportunity for him to come on real strong and frankly, IMO, that was good, because he tends to get pretty manic when he gets going.

I just Ff thru the "romance".. BORING!

<<great another 'reward' where someone gets injured...when will these producers learn?????>>

Pamy, my thoughts exactly.. wth

<<Excuse me but how can you tell whether they speak english BY looking at them!!??>>

Agreed Sunshyne. There are a fair number of Latinos in my area and most seem to speak English. Some stores (like Walmart) are more populated by Latinos and you don't even see Spanish signage. It is assumed that most speak English.

Although if HALF the population were Latino, I guess I might suspect that a considerable %age might not speak English (at least maybe like 10%). But I would never just assume that all or even most of the Latinos can't.

Donald is this big business bigwig, and yet does not even used proper grammar. (ie "You will join Don and I in the boardroom.)

And he made this big deal about how awesome the reward was going to be, surf lessons???!!! Come on, even if no one got hurt, surf lessons????!!!!

They (imo) wasted at least 10 minutes on the dumb reward and the kissing.

This show is not getting any better. If you ask me, he is favoring Angela. Did you notice how he singled her out and talked positively about her? She'll either win or will go through any boardrooms unscathed.

ITA with your assessments Sun. I was equally as upset and turned to TAR. I am so fed up with the nastiness and condescending attitudes of DT,Jr., and Ivanka towards these contestants. I'll just tivo from now on and read your comments. This has become a tv show for mean spirited, selfish and rude people and i will not condone by silence.

If you don't live in Southern California, then you won't understand what Sea meant. There are a lot of malls around here where the majority of shoppers are Hispanic. And many of them speak little or no English. Although it IS a wrong assumption to assume that the 50% Hispanic demo meant that they wouldn't speak English, it IS fair to assume that a percentage of those won't.

Surf lessons (followed by brunch) actually was a pretty cool reward. Santa Monica is real close to Surf City USA (although Huntington Beach claims that title). It's kinda part of the quintessential SoCal experience. If you've never surfed, then you have no idea how cool it really is. Especially if there are dolphins out there playing around. (Where I did have an issue, though, was that the instructors didn't pull the contestants in when the waves started to get bigger. As novice surfers, they had no business being out farther than the break line. Good waves out there, though!)

I was right when I noticed during the promos last week that Arrow would win (the promos showed Tim and Nicole at the pool and I commented "thanks for the spoiler since there'd be no way those two would be at the pool unless they won"). But I agree... bleah! I didn't need to see two minutes of those two smooching. (And I swear they replayed some of the footage, too.) Bleah.

Okay, I will admit that I found the Tim/Nicole thing a little bit cute. Not 'interesting' in a prurient sense, but it was slightly interesting from a human nature standpoint to watch Tim, a Harvard grad, grapple with losing focus on this major career opportunity.

Market research and assumptions, based on observing the environment, are not racism. It's determining how best to serve your market and making an assumption about the language spoken to prepare properly is important in business. If they were wrong about their assumptions, that's fine, but they would have been prepared.

Obviously, many of the people did not speak English so it would have been an accurate assumption.

I don't think that it is at all unreasonable or racist to guess that a number of people in a Hispanic area might have a problem speaking or understanding English or might prefer to communicate in Spanish. It is simply good business and in so doing, being helpful to your potential clients.

It would the same as me going to Quebec and not realistically understanding that a large part of the population is more comfortable communicating in French.
