:-( There is a basketball game tonight and on Wednesday night, too, so we don't get the Apprentice until FRIDAY at 7:00 here in Portland. :-( They're airing Deal or No Deal at 7:00 and 8:00 both Tuesday and Thursday.

Oh, thanks, homeboy (I'm in Oregon, too)! I'll tape that one instead of waiting for Friday. Darned JailBlazer games!

I thought I would give this show a try since it's so popular. All I can say is I have never felt so horrible after watching a show since I watched the Pope's funeral. I think I will stick to feel good shows.

I Did watch half of Martha's season and I must say it did not give off this horrible vibe like Trump's show does. I really hope I don't EVER get to the point that this show is comfortable and fun to view.

This was a major disappointment to me. No wonder Trump has been promoting it like crazy. He needed to. Just more of the same as has been done to death on this show. More women who look like models, and men who don't. More highly educated people who lack wisdom. More successful business owners who don't need to be anyone's apprentice. And yet another firing based on the heat of the moment rather than what was really deserved.

Where were all the international candidates that were hyped? All I saw was one Russian (who now lives in Jersey), and one Englishman (who now lives in Miami). Big deal. Oh, wait. There's also the chubby Canadian lawyer who has lived in Florida since college. Why was Trump spreading all this malarkey about having sent out a call to nations all over the world for candidates?

As for the firing, I could understand if he had fired Summer for not following through on the phone calls. Granted, this was her own idea in the first place, and when it didn't pan out they had plenty of time to readjust their plan. However, firing her for speaking up during Trump's bloviating was just stupid. He really is becoming the king of embarrassing overreactions. How is wanting to set the record straight any more foolish than Tarek foolishly bringing a good worker into the boardroom for pure spite? Boy, is there going to be tension on that team when they get back upstairs.

I agree, all the women look like models... Surely there are some successful women out there who don't look so good. What message does that send? Also, funny how these are supposed to be the cream of the crop, but they act like a bunch of school kids! Trust me, I know...I'm an elementary teacher!I think I am done with this show.

Does anyone know what Summer was trying to say at the end of the meeting in the board room? She and Trump talked over each other so much I wasn't sure if she was trying to defend herself or defend the team leader...something about setting the record straight???

Haha. I refused to watch it because he was being a such a jerk to Martha, but it worked out for me because it's against '24'. Easy choice! I see I missed nothing, lol. I hope he tanks big!

I enjoy this show and I don't care how many letters Trump sends to Martha.

The two shows should not have aired in the same season. Any blame for shaky ratings belong to NBC scheduling and Burnett for not having tweaked Martha's show to fit her personality, setting her apart from Trumps effort.

It did appear that Summer was about to defend the leader but I doubt it. Interrupting Trump showed she was not paying attention to his content but focused on one last word in her own defense.

I enjoyed the show a lot!!!

Cathie, I don't think Summer ever spit out what it was that she interrupted DT for. Stupid move on her part, so I guess she did deserve to be fired after all. I was all for her til her interruption.

I think Tarek is a pompous ass. First thing out of his mouth was about his IQ and how he's in MENSA. (DT is right in that he has ZERO common sense.) Did you notice how he threatened that one guy (Lee?) I like the Russian and the other guy (Lee?)

I was very impressed with whichever guy (big muscles) who was standing up for Summer when the lynch mob was bitchin' about her before the 2nd board meeting.

I also think Allie (winning team leader) is a b!tch. I wanted to slap her when she was making those faces when Brent was trying to come up with ideas. How bitchy and high school of her.

I think Brent (big guy) has some good ideas. Sure some of them were kookie (kareoke machine) but he got the ball rolling and it was basically his idea to do the manicure and massages.

Sorry, but I really like this show!

Well if Trump runs his company like he runs this show, he couldn't possibly be a success ... or not ... or. ... well his casino's are tanking, it's true.

Who cares what Summer had to say? It didn't seem that it would matter, but it mattered to Trump because he needed to cut her off and then can her.

I still like this show, but firings based upon a 3-membership lead over the other team just seem meaningless. You'd think they would tweak this sort of thing or find some other element to make it seem more fair.

They need to jumble the format a bit. I think it was unfair of them to criticize the free 'gift bag' because it was 'empty'. It should have just been called a free tote bag. A gift bag is filled with gifts... but they didn't hit on why it was a failure.

I think Crlyq has something spot on with these comments: "more of the same as has been done to death on this show. More women who look like models, and men who don't. More highly educated people who lack wisdom. More successful business owners who don't need to be anyone's apprentice. And yet another firing based on the heat of the moment rather than what was really deserved."

But I'll still watch it.

I like the Apprentice formula. What makes a season enjoyable are the contestants. From just the first eppie it looks (to me) like I may enjoy watching this group. I sorta liked Lenny but the previews made it look like he was freaking out and used profanity????

It never a good idea to interrupt the boss when things are going your way. Summer should have listened to Lenny’s advice and kept her mouth shut.

The Canadian Lawyer guy did get the ball rolling with brain storming but never got credit for it…bad move on the blonde PM…people don’t forget being slighted.

It always cracks me up when a team is so sure they won….never a good sign. I can see that these people will be more cut throat than other seasons.

When the guy PM took his teammate off to the side and told him that if he was negative about him in the boardroom that he’d take him in…threats? Not a good idea.

OK, it is so not hard to qualify for MENSA. I joined Mensa when I moved to a new city and didn't know anyone. All I needed was my ACT score, which was a 29. I have no idea if my IQ is at their threshold, but it didn't matter because you could join through IQ, SAT, or ACT scores. I bet every one of those candidates could qualify for Mensa. NOT a big deal.

Did anyone else think that Tarek looks like Orlando Bloom? And Lee looks like Adrian Brody?

About the Donald-Martha feud, I think it's interesting that months have passed since Martha's show ended and now suddenly they're sniping at each other in the media. And it happens just before Donald's new Apprentice season begins.

Actualy Tarek kinda looks like Jim (Martha's Apprentice) to me.

Julie, I was just thinking the same thing about Tarek & Jim!!! I think it's not just the looks, a little of the arrogance, too.

I thought Tarek reminded me of evil Dr. Will from BB2.
