Gee, I guess I'm the only one who was horribly disappointed.

Not at the contestants, but at Trump and the 'twist'.

Caroline and George added some semblance of Legitimacy to the show. Like it really WAS about hiring a worker.

Now we have the boardroom in Trump's house and a red eyed Trump hollars out stuff like "Get your *sses in here".

I couldnt believe DT would call the final three into the BR like that. It was really unprofessional and let us all know...This is JUST a reality show.

Okay, lets disect the Losing Project manager. Loud, overexcitable....even talked over DT during BR. Yet, DT keeps him and gets rid of the other guy because Ivanka didnt like the way he talked??

I remember very clearly some pointed comments made about his mannerisms and voice. For petes sake, so a softspoken person cant win the show? Nope I think this is about keeping the 'drama king' and getting rid of 'calm cool collected'.

((If there is such a thing as drama queen, I would assume a king also is applicable??))

Anyways, on to the show. I hate the twist of the winning P.M. being part of the BR. This immediately makes it possible that the weakest link is kept. We saw it today for sure.

I really liked the tent concept as i thought it would stop a team from throwing a comp in order to get rid of the PM. Instead, we see another way that the game is being tampered with.

These people still can talk to each other thru the bushes if they wish. The Winning PM could easily poison the others on BOTH teams based on the knowledge obtained by the private BR with the three.

Not sure if that made sense, but I tried.

Final comment.

It gives the Winning PM way too much power and information.

Marin was very pretentious, but good lord Frank........ I am laying bets that he will be out by the end of week 3. He talks to loud, and way to much. He got on my last nerve.

I like the show last night and the twists. I wish they would have fired Frank. Man oh Man that guy bugged the shit out of me last night!

I liked the show, but I do agree with Sunshyne on several points. Especially how unprofessional it was to say "Get your asses in here."

Frank is a loudmouth and I thought he was going to break down in tears several times. He is too much of a buttkisser for me.

I don't like the tent thing. Maybe inferior lodgings would be ok but - how on earth can you prepare and get presentable while camping? how do the girls do their hair?

Hate Frank.

I definitely don't like the winning PM being able to sit in the boardroom.

Totally not digging the tents. Where are they hanging up their clothes so they don't get wrinkled?

Both of these twists suck.

I like Ivanka. And yes, she is very tall. And yes, some of the guys looked very small next to her.

Cricket... other cast members from past seasons have mentioned that the board sessions would take hours.

Well time will tell. I do like the idea of doing this in LA., but the whole tent thing is kinda silly. I guess he is trying to make them work that much harder for the win, but I think it just puts them at a disadvantage...trying to win these tasks while not having had a good nights sleep and a warm shower is not right. This is not survivor. I also feel that interviews should be at the office. not at trumps home, with the butler showing them the way through the house.

And while I think the winning PM needs to be careful. She is being judged while in the boardroom. Should she go for her interests and try to save the weaker of the two? or should she try to help Trump find the best apprentice? Either way, it is wrong. A CEO of a company never sits in on the rivals boardroom...just silly!

I liked Ivanka...not sure what the point of having Melania and Baron for the photo op was all about???

I gooa also agree with Trumps "get your azzes in here" ... didn't like it!

Oh and do you think he is showing a favoritism towards the olympic athlete..."come give me a hug" ... hummmm ... a little too cozy for a job interview, dontch think???

Loved that the opposing project manager is in the board room. Huge advantage and good reason to win.

Has anything on this show ever been related to how a real business is run? No.

Why didn't Frank find out what his team's strengths were? Why did he run off instead of sending someone else? He didn't even think of a sign instead of yelling at cars. Flyers? To people in cars? Very silly and amazed that they were as close as they were in $$.

I'm liking Heidi so far. Stefani appears to be tough. Nicole is fair, hope her voice comes back soon.

I too did not like the twist of the losing team in tents. Like BonBon I thought this is not Survivor. I think the losers could have been put in a cottage house with a less fancy, less fully stocked kitchen and no access to the pool but still a bed to sleep in and a shower to clean up in. I wish DT would have fired both of them last night. Now that would be a great way to start off the show! They deserved it for all the reasons mentioned above. Plus when Martin made the comment that "someone needs to supervise" when everyone but him was pitching in to put up the tent and he was just standing around on a rock, I knew he'd be gone. I just don't understand why people come on this show with that kind of attitude. Frank rubbed me the wrong way too when once Heidi took charge of putting up the tent (and was doing a good job at it), he jumped in wanting control too.

We all know that this show is really just an infomercial. Trump doesn't need to do this to get employees.

However, this is just too silly, IMO. I agree with Sunshyne and found it inane. Didn't watch the first 1/2 hr because of DH, and I'm glad I didn't.

LOL--whether it was the editing or whatever, it sure looked like Ivanka was making the firing decision.

Hi I've never posted on this forum but I think the new apprentice was a total disappointment. Didn't like the twist of the tent. None of the contestants stand out. The men are barely watchable. I like to have a little eye candy and it seems Donald and Mark Burnette picked plenty of decent looking women and the men to me seem drab and dreary. Don't think I will be watching unless nothing else is on. Didn't like Frank and the yelling one bit. Why do they think they need that extra drama it is a complete turnoff. Donald I think your show will be weak to quite weak in ratings department.

Why should the winning PM get to stay PM all of the time? There might be other wonderful candidates on that team which are not willing to sabotage the efforts, but may never have a chance to shine. IN fact the winning teams PM could be terrible, but the members may still pull it off...

Not crazy about this season. Think that the tent thing is more like 'jumping the shark' than anything else. Frank is annoying. I can't stand when people don't let others say anything. A confident person would allow the other to speak and then rebutt them effectively.

I'm also thinking that the other team is out for dinner at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, so why not go through the hedge and swim in the pool. They could have had a couple of hours swim, dried off and been back in their 'homeless camp' before the others came back from dinner.

I guess I had a different take on the show last. I like that the winning team gets to enjoy the house while the losing team has to camp out in the back yard.
It will keep the losing team motivated.

I think /{Ivanka} Is great. She could tell who was working hard, and who wasn’t (Martin).

Frank isn’t going to last long. His voice way too loud and annoying, and he never shuts up.

I not sure about the winning PM sitting on the board. It might hurt that person later in the game.
Overall I thought the show was great last night, and I think its going to be an entertaining season to watch the Apprentice.

My instant favorite is Heidi to win it all. I’m picking Kristine, Surya, and Carey to join her in the final 4.

I would be interested to see some other people’s guesses on the final 4

My problem with the winning PM sitting in the boardroom is if they win several challenges in a row, she has an unfair advantage of her other teammates that don't have the benefit of the same information.

<<Frank isn’t going to last long. His voice way too loud and annoying, and he never shuts up.>>

That description reminds me of Omarosa. Can you imagine HER having to live in a tent? Of course maybe she wouldn't have noticed after she got hit in the head by that 3 tons of plaster and all...
