I like Bill, but I think Randal acted like a snake when he wouldn't let Rebecca get a position. I liked him up til the finale.

I thought the same about Randal. I wish Rebecca was on this season...I'd love to see her take Allie and Roxanne to school in the boardroom!

I think Bill is the only REAL Apprentice. He's the only one whose behavior I have never questioned (but I haven't seen all of his judging). Randal on the other hand....he acted like a jerk, IMO (at the finale).

I don't think he acted like a jerk at all. I think the donald was a jerk for putting him in that position. And I don't blame him, Trump could have asked Rebecca the next day for a job. Why should he have to share what he'd worked so hard for? It was his nite to shine, and shine he did and continues to do. Go Randal!!!

Agreed. Also, DT said awhile back that Randall made the right decision that night

I agree with Ladytex. Rebecca had been riding Randal's coattails most of the way through. He even had to hold the doors for her, place her chairs like some nursemaid, while Rebecca did the little 'jiggley-buns' hip-hops front-center, at Trump's eyelevel. (Will someone please explain why she couldn't use her crutches coming and going inside the board room?) Usually had to do the hippity-hoppity, to elicit sympathy for the cute but 'brave' little woman with the eternal broken ankle - leaving Trump's eyes glazing over naturally! Randal wasn't stupid and I have no doubt he could see what was going on. But as a male professional he was no way able to call her on it. So, for the finale - AFTER she made such nasty & underhanded comments about his qualifications when her OWN qualifications were the ones sorely lacking - WHY should Randal allow her to ride his coattails right into the winner's box? Especially when he was usually to one reqd to do the directing and the work on the winning projects....because she was slowed down by her BROKEN ankle? Go Randal!

Sure wish I had seen Apprentice 1st season! Bill Rancic seems to be very professional and has a head on his shoulders, even while he has to put up with Trump's ego. I think Bill will go places, just being very deliberate about where and how he's going. Go Bill!

<79> I don't think Rebecca was pulling the pity card at all. First of all, it's really difficult to maneuver around a table and chairs with crutches, let alone one that's probably got cables and wires strung all over the floor. Secondly, it's entirely possible that the producers asked her to leave them. And finally, it can take a long time for an injury like that to heal. I know. And I hated crutches the entire time. I never appealed for anyone's sympathy, and I never saw Rebecca do so.

This is too funny ... Apprentice 6 candidates reportedly performed halftime infomercial at LA Galaxy game The Los Angeles-set Apprentice 6 is now taping in LA, and an early report suggests they’re not doing much to hide their presence. At the Los Angeles Galaxy major league soccer game Saturday night, fans were treated to a halftime show apparently presented by the candidates. The show was reportedly sponsored by GNC, and each of the two teams had to present a brief halftime show that was, naturally, a commercial for the sponsor. It was not well received. One poster on the BigSoccer forum wrote, “That was a new low for the franchise. Anyone else disgusted by that?” Fans in attendance report such poor audience reaction that some audience members apparently refused to vote for a “winner.” sportsfan-quakes gives the details: “GNC had two ‘Skits’ which were shown on the field, each lasted about 4-5 minutes. The first one was supposed to show ‘Joe Normal’ guy in a boxing or wrestling rink, running out of energy to fight, and then he gets some kind of help from GNC supplements and all of a sudden he wins his match. Whoever the announcer was had to try to get the fans to chant ‘Go GNC’ or something like that. We thought that was pretty bad, but then they brought out a second skit. This one had people in outfits that were like GNC supplement bottles, and they had an obstacle course that was supposed to show how the GNC supplements could help you go faster or something. Then there was a point where the people/supplements were running through a blocked artery or something. But the worst part of the second skit was that the two girls/women who were announcing had the most earsplitting, shrieky voices you can imagine. It was sheer torture just listening to them. Then, at the end the fans were supposed to hold up a colored card to indicate which team/skit was better. Everyone was so disgusted that they didn’t vote. So if this was a contest for the Apprentice, they’ll have to do some really creative editing to show any of it and not make everyone look like fools (unless that was the intent).” LINK

Oh goody. Nice find Ladytex. This smacks of a multiple firing with both teams in the board room, always entertaining.

Trump, "Apprentice" loser going Hollywood LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump said on Wednesday he is adding a Hollywood production company to his business empire, and has named a "fired" contestant from "The Apprentice" to run it. "He's a very talented guy, a very fine student from Harvard, and he's going to be terrific. I have no doubt about it," Trump said of Andy Litinsky, the young Ivy League graduate put in charge of Trump's as-yet unnamed new company. Trump said he is developing a television show based on the classic real-estate board game Monopoly that is likely to be one of the first projects to emerge from his latest business venture. Trump said he and reality TV producer R.J. Cutler, who helped make the Oscar-nominated documentary "The War Room," have been shopping the TV "Monopoly" idea to major networks and "people are very interested in it." Monopoly seems like an ideal fit for Trump, who owns several casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey -- the original setting for the board game in which players buy and develop property while trying to force each other into bankruptcy. Trump, 60, already has had a hand in producing "The Apprentice," as well as the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, but wanted an outlet for developing new programs. Litinsky, a champion debater and Harvard graduate from Florida, was 23 when he appeared on "The Apprentice 2" in 2004 as one of 18 corporate wannabes competing for a high-paying job in the Trump organization. He even took his final Harvard exams while the show was in production. Although Trump gave Litinsky his trademark board-room dismissal "You're fired!" in one of the final rounds of the show, Litinsky made enough of an impression to land a job later as a project manager on Trump's business development team. "He did very well; he just had a particularly bad night," Trump said of Litinsky's "Apprentice" performance.

Is it just me, or did others have to go back and look up who Andy was? I could only picture Lee -- and they look similar enough it's no wonder I was confused. Both young, both brunette, both "brainy" types but inexperienced.

I remember when Lee came on this past season, I had a flashback to Andy and wondered if he was returning for a 2nd try under a different name, lol.

Oh, I remember Andy! He and Lee were similar, but I really liked Andy (Lee was okay, just came off as a little too oily - as in slick and maybe a little sleazy...Andy was just a sweet kid, who got fired because he couldn't outscream the two women he was in the boardroom with.). In fact before I saw the name and just saw "fired" and "Harvard" I thought, "Maybe its Andy!". I'm glad that Trump is giving him this opportunity.

I can't post images from work, but I found his website, which has a lot of pictures: Andy Litinsky Official Website Maybe this will help refresh some memories: In the Pepsi challenge, Andy was the one who came up with the Geography Game idea, as well as designing a globe-shaped bottle. His team lost, of course, and I believe that was the challenge that got him eliminated. His high-point on the show was the NYPD video challenge.

Extreme Makeover dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman and former Apprentice contestant Jennifer Murphy were married Friday evening, their reps confirm to PEOPLE. The couple wed in a non-denominational ceremony at the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., in front of 300 guests, including Donald Trump, Esther Williams and several of Murphy's former Apprentice costars. Murphy wore a gown by Samin Haute Couture and diamond drop earrings from Beverly Hills jeweler XIV Karats, which also designed the couple's wedding bands. The pair got engaged last Christmas, when Dorfman proposed to Murphy with a 3-carat, radiant-cut diamond ring surrounded by trapezoids. Dorfman, 47, and Murphy, 27, met at the 2004 Miss USA pageant, when she was Miss Oregon and he was in the audience. But their romance didn't bloom until a year later, when Murphy was cast in an ad for teeth whitening by Dorfman's company, Discus Dental. On ABC's Extreme Makeover, Dorfman was described as a "cosmetic dentist to the stars." He has three daughters, Anna, Charlotte and Georgia. According to her personal Web site, Murphy co-founded and serves as president and CEO of a real-estate development company and works as a business and marketing consultant. The newlyweds are scheduled to leave this weekend for their honeymoon in Fiji.
