Is anyone else NOT looking forward to next week's episode where it looks like 'the romance' is going to be highlighted? ~ blech ~

I was suprised that Muna - who would not take the Lord's name in vain -- was okay with the infedility subject matter of their clip ... where was her moral indignation there? playing a character in a play/commercial isnt a sin. Taken the Lord's Name in Vain is a serious sin according to the Bible....even though many people who profess to be Christians still do. Nothing wrong with Muna choosing to do one thing and refusing to break a Biblical rule. I actually was going to post taht I thought Trump had his Heidi picked right from the first week. It seemed like she got quite flustered at one point in the boardroom. Funny how DT has fired people when they get flustered in the past seasons. mind you, this season Beggars cant be choosers.

Muna is very articulate, she does however have a very distinct accent that is hard to grasp when she speaks quickly.She should not have been allowed to be so prominent in the commercial. Her dismissal was her fault as she should not have posed the question to Heidi. I am sure she is a wonderful person but she would have driven me CRAZY with her constant questions. But to say she is not articulate is dead wrong, I actually like her accent < at a normal speed > and can hear the voice of a friend from Bermuda when she speaks. She is no more inarticualte then the Brit who won last season.

playing a character in a play/commercial isnt a sin. Taken the Lord's Name in Vain is a serious sin according to the Bible But she would have been taking the Lord's name in vain, while playing the immoral character (which she was okay with playing otherwise). So her refusal to do one and not the other is inconsistent (not that I care much either way). Muna is very articulate. She is just a little hard to understand when she speaks quickly, like her character in the commercial.

Okay, just watched both commercials. The all girl team actually had the cuter commercial. You had to infer via context what Muna was saying, but I think the viewer was able to infer that. If they had hit on the brand name more in the beginning of the commercial, they would have won.

Okay, now I understand about everybody saying, "Muna shouldn't have asked the question." Pretty good episode, actually. For once.

Being articulate really doesn't matter if no one understands you. Honestly, I thought the beginning of Kinetic's Webisode was a joke, till I realized Muna was speaking and it just sounded like gibberish. So, articulate or not, she was absolutely the wrong person to have on film, talking as much as she did. I missed the beginning but if she really did push to be in front of the camera, she deserved to go. I don't care how "comfortable" you are in front versus behind... if no one can understand you, how much good does it do? And FWIW, I liked the cliff hanger on Kinetic's much better than Arrow's. But brand placement... yeah... totally lacking in Kinetic's. Although, I think Muna did mention the product a coupla times, I just couldn't understand a word of it!

The PM leaving was the truely agregious error. I'd have fired her. Save me from further torture, hire Heidi and end the show. I know, I know, I should just turn it off. Oh the bedevilment of being part of the TV generation! I really need to get a job. I've strated watching all sorts of shows I never gave a previous glance. It's not good.

After watching the ending, I rewound to the beginning just to see what Heidi had said to Muna that would make her so confident about Heidi supporting her. Anyway, it seems Muna wasn't really listening. Heidi told her that she was 'one of the people' Heidi would want on her team. Obviously, she wanted Kristine on her team more Btw, has anyone thought about the fact that this is season six and, if I'm recalling correctly, Trump has only hired one woman so far. I don't think he has any choice but to hire a woman this season (after all, he seems to want us to think that he's not a male chauvinist ). So I completely discounted all the men within a week or so. This years winner (if they can be called that since they have to work for Trump for a year) has to be a woman (In my opinion).

I'm with you, Mlt, working for/with/by DT is no prize in my book. Whatever happened with the 1st 5 winners? I thought Season 1 Bill was to be leaving the Trump Org. Saw Kelly, winner 2 along with she who will not be named and I think Sean on 1 VS 100. I believe they only spoke to her.

Well if it is to be a woman, it won't be a woman of color, since all of them are gone. One asian man left. But I would assume that the people ON the show actually DO want to work for Trump.

Muna is from the region I'm from the West Indies..this is why North Americans do not see West Indians in films, unless it is made on one of the Islands with an entire West Indian cast and crew. Both Jamaican and Trinidadian accents could be difficult to follow though matter how slow one speaks. I understood and heard her word for word, but I also felt for her; we cannot speak with an American accent.

I am sorry if it has been posted but what was "the question" that Muna should not have asked? I read thru all the posts and you guys just aren't giving that up, lol. This shoe comes on a 10pm here and my eyes go shut shortly after 10pm sometimes earlier. Thanks in advance!

Muna asked Heidi who she would keep – her or Kristine. Muna was confident that Heidi would pick her but after much angst and hemming and hawing, Heidi finally picked Kristine and Trump fired Muna. I know what you mean about the show coming on at 10:00. My wife has a real problem getting to the end of it!

That's why i didn't watch it live. I don't care to invest an hour of television time at 10 p.m.

Good episod. I, too, wasn't able to watch the whole thing in real time. Looks like there's gonna be even more drama from the "cute" couple. (Seriously, are you supposed to appoint yourselves the cute one? I had enough of the fake/forced stuff since the day they hinted it!) Hope someone will recognize what Muna has and gives her a chance. She is just not suitable for this thing. Even though we all saw how incompetent Kristine was.

According to Jen & Derek (on their interviews on Armchair Apprentice), Muna constantly questioned EVERYTHING on every task, did only exactly what she was delegated, wouldn't lift a finger to do one thing more, couldn't (or wouldn't) come up with any ideas or suggestions but would only criticize, and retreated behind her Bible as her excuse. Both thought she was a lovely & intelligent woman, but both did not see her as a team player or Apprentice material. Oh, and she led grace before every meal (without asking if it might offend anyone first). 'squeek'

Thanks Kona. I kinda got the impression Muna questioned everything, from the bits we've seen of her during tasks. I also kinda got the impression about not doing more than required, for some reason. And about that grace thing... you know, it's all well and good that someone has faith. But it's offensive to "force" that on others (at least to me) and grace at the table is one thing that does offend me if someone just does it without asking.
