Maybe I'm letting the Rosie and Donald feud cloud my feelings on this. I'm not a big Rosie fan but I thought Donald was out of line. Frank annoyed the heck out of me. Don't think it is fair either that the winning project manager gets to sit in as judge. I might watch one more to see if I change my mind but I'm not feeling it maybe if they got rid of Donald and the comb over.

I wonder if Trump is letting the PM of the winning team sit in to watch what they do with the information they hear. Eventually, the teams will merge and or reorganize. If that PM had listened in to numerous board room discussions, they would be at an unfair advantage (and that SUCKS because the PM didn't win the challenge, the TEAM did!). Maybe Trump is watching for an "insider trader" or something that would normally be considered unacceptable ~yeah, right...

Could have done without: -Donald calling Melania and Barron on the phone -Melania -Melania calling Donald honey -Frank, Frank misinterpreting loud braying as passion I don't know names yet, but the winning PM did seem very composed and succinct in her comments and questions while sitting in the boardroom, she really seemed to hold her own with Donald and Ivanka. I love Ivanka, she is very well spoken and her observations and questions always seem well thought out. I do miss George though. I'm not sure about the tents, but who cooks for them? I think they should have been given a couple of propane camp stoves and a cooler for their grub as well, lol! How 'bout that woman who compared it to the third world, my immediate thought was what a ditz, how could she possible have said that.

I'm not saying that I don't like Ivanka... but Caroline was Da Bomb in my book.

I don't like that they left a lot out of the show. Offhand, things like Heidi's team first getting started. By the time they showed them, the task was at least halfway done. Also, I would like to know how the losers ate, where their clothes were, where they got dressed (were there mirrors, electricity, etc.) and what about the toilets.

I know that I am in the minority, but I can't stand Heidi! There, I said it. That girl is just too smug in my book. I can hardly wait for her team to lose...hopefully next Sunday.

Welcome too Carajay! Personally, I think Martin was a 'goner' from the minute he stepped foot on the premises. I think Trump was trying to appear 'coy and hard to convince by Ivanka, the hard hitting business woman' to make good TV, but I would bet his mind was made up from the gitgo. Trump may appear a little rough around the edges at times, but he clearly appreciates "Class". Look at his obvious pride in his daughter Ivanka, and past/present wives - it's not just their looks that captured Trump's heart. So, when some new yahoo apprentice-wanna-bee says (in the first instance he's ever MET Trump)....SAYS...at first blush....in front of Trump, his wife&baby, his 2nd in Command/Ivanka, amongst all those total stranger co-apprentice candidates, on National TV... something to the effect of: I'll give ya hug, if I can use your potty already? Then later, Martin whimpering to Ivanka "I'm tired!" and his constant snarky/snide comments during the boardroom? Nope, Martin was a legend - only in his OWN mind - mostly he was already a 'goner'. This may be reality TV, but both Trump and Ivanka place some value on their reputations as business people. What if the foolish man actually somehow managed to last a while? Until Martin's uncouth mouth and unprofessional behavior REALLY made some embarrassing spectacle? I could just imagine thoughts ticking thru Thump's mind, envisioning how Martin might handle a professional meeting on Trump business. Perhaps a scenario like: "Puwwease, I didn't think to tinkle before shaking your hand, so now I really gotta do the dinky deed." Naaah, Frank's endless braying is annoying enough that he won't last long (clearly obvious to the Trumps) so they were sending Martin packing, back to his own personal outhouse to peruse the old sears catalogs. PRONTO!

There is nothing new about the constant opportunities for self-promotion.. just that now he's decided to move into the LA market (shudder) and so we will have to see him parade trophy wife and trophy baby even more often this season, and perhaps see trophy house even more. But I'd be willing to bet that the boardroom was a mockup just like it always has been. Seems like they are really messing with the whole concept and not in a positive way.

Its interesting that Ivanka thought Martin wasnt working hard because he was still wearing his tie. LOL It is judgements like that which lowers her credibility in my opinion. Yeah, and I thought he embarrassed DT a bit by trying to trade a hug for a bathroom break. DT hugged the Olympian and it kinda seemed to lessen (make fun of) DT's spontaneous act. I liked Martin. However, his VOICE gak! I wish they would have fired Frank. Man oh Man that guy bugged the shit out of me last night! NO kidding. I had a good laugh when I read your words. I found that guy horribly irritating but he looks just like someone I know. Weird how people can look so similar. I Second Carajay's comment! None of the contestants stand out. The men are barely watchable. I like to have a little eye candy

As much as Trump likes having his behind kissed especially by the females), as Frank did, I don't think Trump wants that type of person to go very far. I give Frank 2 more weeks. I'm not an Ivanka apologist but I think what she meant with her tie comment was that seeing the task was a car wash it might have been more appropriate to roll up your sleeves...he stood out wearing that outfit. Usually the more irritating stand out early on and for me those were Frank and Martin.

I think it was kind of tacky (Can't think of a better word) of DT to single the olympic medalist out (plus then add how tough of competition she was) and hug her. As if she was more worthy that the others. I just don't think that was the time or place to do that.

Was the show so un-watch-able that the ratings tanked? When the show ended, I was left with the desire to immediately watch the next episode. I liked it...for what it's worth.

The ratings are down slightly overall from last season, but up slightly in key target groups. The show is also up against some fairly strong competition in this time slot.

Wouldn't it have been great if Frank's team refused to live in the tent? I would have loved to see the <77> reaction and then the producers scurrying to find a new team. Living in the tent adds no interest for me. The losing team was previously punished by not winning the "dinner with Donald", or whatever the prize is. This Survivor angle just doesn't flow with the Apprentice theme at all. Didn't care for Martin or Frank. Martin was self-centered and Frank was not a good leader on the task.

Hmm I made some comment about Trump's hair, the color seemed so ODD when he was driving up to meet Melania and Barron at the mansion and then I read People Magazine's blurb..
quote:Having generated many headlines in the past few weeks, Mr. Trump debuts his revamped reality series. The show will spend its sixth season under the bright L.A. sun which gives his hair the astral glow associated with certain migraine hallucinations "The Apprentice" still works, thanks to Trump's harrumphing and an outlandish new twist: The defeated team is forced to live in tents. They grumble about their awful ordeal, sounding more like apprentice Jobs than Trumps.

Well, we'll see what happens to his ratings this Sunday when Jack Bauer hits town. Yay!!! Seamonkey, I thought Trump's hair looked a different color, too. Maybe that was just his pale East-coast scalp reflecting the sun through his combover?

I so agree with those who were annoyed by both Frank and Martin's behaviors. The only things that annoyed me more were Trump having the audacity to use profanity when addressing the apprentices and calling them back into the boardroom, calling Martin a pompous ass to his face in the boardroom,i found that to be very degrading, disrespectful,and totally unprofessional.However it also let me know what Trumps character is really like. I also did not appreciate the same rush to judgement exhibited by Ivanka towards Martin. It appeared to me as if they had both decided they did not like him and came up with non sensical explanations to justify her statements. It just seemed very biased.I think she felt he was not subservient enough. She and Trump need to learn more about people and their regional values in this case and they would have undertood Martin.Remember he was an accomplished attorney from New Orleans. I cant wait until they pick the wrong candidate to try that garbage with and they go off on them. I would have liked to see Martin recognize that he was done no matter what and check Trump on his character and slander actions before telling him what he though of his character.That would have been some good TV.lol..lol

Martin was done as soon as he told DT he'd give him a hug if he could use the bathroom. Not a great way to introduce yourself. First impressions are usually the most lasting ones.

As it was unprofessional for Trump to single out one woman of the entire group and give her a hug, especially if she already has the advantage of being a friend of Ivanka's from school. But, that said, it is Trump's show. Martin certainly should have just kept quiet and planned to pee later..
