I enjoyed this one - a lot! The uniforms that the women designed were hideous beyond belief. Can you imagine wearing those every day?

I can't get over how intelligent (and gorgeous) Ivanka appears. She is amazing. And, his son managed to get in a few words tonight as well.

I agree that was odd how Trump talked about how friendship shouldn't affect business and then he fires them. But, then didn't he also talk about loyalty as well and he may be separating the two concepts.

Buggles, if you look back, Trump always seems to admire Loyalty (intentionally capitalize "L"). Remember Rebecca and what's her name? The disaster? She stood by Rebecca and helped her when she hurt her foot, and Rebecca stood by her. Trump admired that. And someone this season did the same thing... Maybe misplaced, but he definitely admires that.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but the two good friends could've still turned on each other without it looking like they were being brats. And I suspect that's mostly what it was. ;)

Costacat, you are right. It was the way they...well mostly Allie. Allie shouted and talked over Roxanne. Roxanne didn't get too dirty and that was only after Trump egged her on. Still I'm glad tnhey both are gone.

You would imagine that 2 such educated people wouldn't know how to go about deflecting blame without raising voices and becoming unglued.

Wow, those costumes the women came up with were horrid! The styles were unflattering and unsuitable for varying body types. The fabric would have been disasterous to wear for a full 8+ hour shift (just think of the sweat stains alone).

And lets not even get into the color, especially on the maids! Ok, lets do get into it! What was that, some sort of peach or something? I cringe on how that would have looked like on some skin tones. I know my mom can't wear a certain shade of olive green cause it makes her look jaundiced. And the culottes......well, I know if I tried to wear that on my thick thighs, they would end up riding up on the inside of my thighs and giving myself a bit of a wedgie. I'd be forever having to pull them back down. And as members of the cleaning staff, they may have to stoop, kneel, bend over a bunch, and seems like they'd have to be wary of flashing the guests when they do that. Pants would be much more practical to work in, IMHO.

Seems to me that Trump stabbed his own "friend," Martha Stewart, in the back. If he was honest in his view of the importance of loyalty, he should fire himself.

Although I didn't love Andrea, she was probably the only candidate this year who understood business, IMO. He hasn't had a good person left to choose from in a loooong time.

I am so glad he sent both Allie and Roxanne packing tonight. Couldn't stand either of them, but especially Allie. Listening to Allie talk hurts my ears.

I think Lee may actually wind up winning this thing. Who knows, since Lee is the least experienced Trump may figure he can mold Lee into what he wants. And to be honest, Lee does consistantly come up with good ideas. But his one big flaw is that he tends to be the "politician" as Trump has said and walks the fence too much.

But of the two left I am rooting for Sean. Even though Lee was the PM tonight you would never have known it. Sean seemed to take charge of the whole thing. Plus it would get under Allie's skin if Sean won.

I am rooting for Sean, wouldn't mind if Lee won though...so glad both women are gone. Why can't they find good woman candidates?

Did people notice that in a taxi at one point Sean and Lee did the "Howie Mandell" knuckle hit with each other, sort of like a high five, but with closed hands, knuckles meet. Is this catching on?

I'm rooting for Sean too. He's very smart (even if he does have a crush on Tammy), and observant. He knows when to be silent and when to kiss up to Trump. Lee's okay, too, very bright, but maybe a little young. I think it'll be Sean.

Of the last four, I'd choose Sean.

While I don't mind that both women were booted, I thought he was getting back at them for last week. If it was just for this week, then Allie would have gone alone.

I really wished that whichever Trump kid was watching the women's team had actually been observing more. I can just imagine that George or Carolyn would have been fuming to Trump and breathing fire over how rude Allie was to the designer, but they seemingly had no input on the teams except for the results of the vote and their opinion on the final product.

So that left Roxanne hung out to dry and trying not to stab her friend so she was called wishy washy, then ended up being fired supposedly for getting negative!
Anyway, bad reasons given by Trump but he clearly didn't want either of them as his Apprentice and I would agree with that.

The Trmup kids continue to shine, IMO, especially Ivanka.

And I agree, the women's designs were hideous.

And CULOTTES?

And I thought the men designed some nice looking outfits and really listened to the employees.

Oh yeah, I agree it was the loyalty thing that bothered Trump with Allie and Roxanne. And I really appreciate that. It's just ironic to me that you can put yourself at greater risk of getting fired by developing good relationships. It seems like you create an extra burden or handicap if you need to defend yourself against that person in the BR.

In past seasons, I can recall Trump firing candidates because they didn't fight hard enough to stay - i.e. were too afraid to be critical and make a case for why someone else should be fired.

I remember Lee being pretty nasty with one of his PMs in the board room - I guess he wasn't turning on a friend - so problem, he is still there.

I think Trump essentially just didn't care for either Allie or Roxanne.

I'm surprised he didn't at least get a good laugh out of their hideous uniforms - I did

No doubt he has to be disappointed with how this batch of candidates has turned out. I think this time he hand selected them and had higher hopes.

I agree that Ivanka is strikingly gorgeous and intelligent. She has the most beautiful neck - I'm never one to really notice necks, but I find myself staring at hers.

I definitely want Sean to win, and have wanted that for some time. I think it is nice about his feelings for Tammy. I hope she feels the same.
And that Dynasty quote was hilarious

The culottes...too funny. Especially funny was how Allie seemed to think they were such a great idea...that they were modern, stylish, etc. She just kept giving herself props for having come up with the marvelous culottes idea. Were culottes ever a good idea?

The Dynasty quote was great. Also great was Lee on the term metrosexual. Can't remember it exactly, but he said something like "I don't really know what a metrosexual is. It's not homosexual and not heterosexual, I guess it is somewhere in between. Sean is a metrosexual". Wish I remembered the exact quote.

YAY! So glad to see those 2 go! I will be happy with either a Lee or a Sean win. It will be fun now to watch the final episodes.

I think that Roxanne's biggest crime in the last few shows is in not speaking up. Friendship is one thing, but you want to win and how can anywoman not understand that you have to work in these clothes, they were not cartoon clothes or movie clothes, they were work clothes. I was particualrly shocked about them snickering because the guys took a traditional practical path.

It is always about making money, you don't want expensive clothes, you want things that are cheap and practical.

For example the last loss was not about being practical either.

I laughed my butt off when I saw the girls' version of the bellhop uniform. (I don't think they used the term Bellhop though..) The one with short sleeves and the crazy 80's green trim that stuck out at an angle.

lol julie and that for the men who wanted a waterproof coat and a liner they could zip in and out, Allie gives them short sleeves with green "wings"!

I'm surprised they managed to get any votes at all.

I said to dh, look at the "suite keepers" I'm sorry they have a more matronly figure and you want to give them little bo peep sleeves, nasty fabric and culottes!

Synergy's front desk outfit was cute (they were just designing that for women, right?), so maybe they got a lot of votes for that one...because I can't imagine too many for the suite keepers and really, can't imagine they got ANY for the bellman or the breakfast cook.

I was glad to see the two women go. I kinda figured it HAD to be a double elim night because, in the words of The Donald, they were in the 13th week of their 15-week job interview. Since the finale is two weeks away and the final task/crowning spans two episodes, two HAD to go last night. The Trumpster is just lucky as heck that Sean is a metrosexual who understands charmeuse and knows how to create a functional yet stylish garment.

I'm still not feelin' Lee. He's been OK for the past couple of weeks, but I can't get past all the other stuff from before.

Since Andrea left (who, at the time, was IMHO the most apprentice-worthy) I've been in the Sean camp.

Wonder if Lee is gonna pick Lenny to be on his final task team...
