Wow, according to Donald Trump, he should get a star at Grauman's Chinese Theatre because he has the #1 show on TV.

Too bad American Idol can't get the viewers like The Apprentice.

<100> This is surely the sign of the show's popularity. So, who went home?

He said he was the #1 show before the show ever aired. You think he would have had that edited out just so he wouldn't look so foolish.
Nicole got sent to the other team and Angela was fired.

All I know as I turned off the show. Nicole went over to the other team not by her choice. Arrow still won but I have to say if I had been approached as a customer in their manner after someone was already talking to me I would of had the managers of universal there. It was rude and uncalled for.

And I would of quit after trump pretty much said it doesn't matter how you represent a company as long as you get the sales.

at this point the TV went off so no idea who was fired.

Is Trump a romantic at heart?

I must say, Angela gave one of the best 'car closers' ever, imo. Very nice.

We looked -- Apprentice isn't even in the TOP 20! That man's hair must be taking over his brain and robbing him of any last shred of rational thought!

I didn't think Tim was disloyal for not 'fighting' for Nicole to stay, given the circumstances. How funny that he was trying to be professional and Trump faults him for it.

The problem I had was that James told Nicole that it wasn't reflective of her talent - it was her duplicative skill set - but in the boardroom he indicated to Trump that he chose her because she was the weakest.

I do think that Tim should have put up more of an argument for Nicole to stay. As far as they showed, he did absolutely nothing to encourage it.

I don't think the roller-skating was that bad an idea.

Arrow won because they were much more aggressive selling and they sold the most. The task was quantitative not qualitative and that was how it was clearly spelled out from the beginning. As far as making Universal look bad, if people didn't like Arrow's aggressive selling, they would have bought from Kinetic.

Angela did nothing to defend herself in the boardroom. Trump had no choice but to fire her. Her speech in the taxi was excellent though.

As far as the show overall, I'm still enjoying it. After all, who is kidding who? Once we got past the first season, I think it has been pretty clear that it is a TV show and not truly reflective of business.

Can't stand James, can't stand Tim, can't stand Frank. It's driving me nuts that they keep winning! LOL

To me, Angela's car speech looked like a typical speech to the media thing that all elite athletes do. I'm pretty sure I've heard that talking to the media is all part of their coaching/training at the elite level. That's what I saw in the car, an athlete talking about how to "gain from the big disappointing loss" speech. So, while others saw it as one of the best car speeches, I guess I wasn't all that impressed. Cause all I saw was a well-practiced spiel.

As if my opinion of Trump could'nt go any lower......though I shouldn't be surprised he'd advocate ruthless aggression in literally taking a customer right out from under someone else right in the middle of a sale. Arrow set up their kiosk so the customers could come to them (their words during the planning). Then they also waited until Kinetic hooked a customer (ie, someone showing interest in putting out money), and then ruthlessly went over there and snatched them away too. Trump may have admired it, but I didn't.

If I had been the customer, I would have walked away from both of them, then gone to the Universal management and let them know exactly why they just lost a sale from someone who had every intention of buying up until the antics of their representatives chase me away (I've done that before with a couple of stores too).

Trump talking about Tim not fightin' for his woman or having loyality?!?! Has he forgotten his ex wives? Didn't the 1st wife become an ex-wife due to the existence of the 2nd wife?

lol Sugar, good point. Or what about letting Carolyn Keptcher go after all of those years of dedicated service?? The thing is, someone had to go in this case, and James only had 4 alternatives.

Okay, so I came in fifteen minutes late in the show and they were just announcing the task. I watched for fifteen/twenty minutes - up until the time they finished the task and the winner was announced. Then I got bored and switched channels - coming back just in time to see the car exit speech.

And looking here... the only interesting thing I missed was Trump saying he had the best show on television .

Whoami .. I agree.. and would like to add .. if I were any of the women on Kinetic .. I would have told Trump .. if he admired the tactics of Arrow .. then my ethics would not allow myself to even consider applying for a job in his company...

It seems to me that Donald makes a fool of himself every week, but in his own mind, he's impressing everyone. He must live in another dimension!

Another thing that doesn't seem fair to me is in past seasons, they always rearranged the teams in the morning before the next challenge. It really doesn't seem fair to me that someone should have to give up living in the mansion and go camp out when part of the reward for winning the previous challenge was living in the mansion.

I really hope this is the last time we ever see tents on this show.

Lexie...I thought that also...

One thing I did like though was "usually" when they mix up teams, Trump asks for a volunteer and usually gets the candidate who wants to gain Trump's favor to step up...I kinda liked putting James on the spot to decide who moves...of course if I had liked James I would feel that this was unfair making him decide as he is simply a project manager and the reprucussions from this decision will be felt longer than any project deligation decisions...

And I think another reason why James was so intent on breaking up Tim and Nicole was because if their team had lost, Tim and Nicole (and Frank) would have been a force to contend with as PM in the boardroom.

Great point Lexi... while I am no fan of James, it was good strategy to break up the voting block...when Trump asks who would you vote to leave? James is the odd man out...

Teachmichigan, I'm with you. Can't like any of them. Jimmer...<100>...he's not going to stand up for anyone.

I thought Nicole should have been fired on the spot for asking Trump to move Tim to her team. This isn't the Dating Game for gosh sakes.

James is getting by on his luck. He doesn't really do anything. He even admitted he needed the other two people because they were good workers.

I'm tired of the whole Nicole Tim thing. Thank goodness for my PVR! I managed to watch last night's show in about 35 minutes. I'm still on the fence, last week I thought it was a good ep this week bleh. Why does DT keep focusing on Tim and Nicole, it is not interesting! And why is it James and Frank seem to yell all the time, Nicole too.

I didn't think NIcole was asking for Tim to change teams, she said something like, give Tim a chance to come to Kinetic and answer that, not sure what that was though.

Boring challaenge, boring boardroom

James is getting by on his luck. He doesn't really do anything.

Lots of really good managers don't really do a lot of tangible stuff. The art of being a good manager/leader lies not in knowing how to do everything and turning out a tangible work product, but in knowing how to recognize strengths in others and utilize their skills to best advantage in achieving the business goals at hand.

James seems rather adept at that.

Not sayig I'm rooting for him to win or anything -- honestly, I don't have a favorite yet -- but just that the fact of him not physically doing a lot doesn't mean he's not a good candidate for the job. :-)

If I was James I would have broken up the Tim Nicole Dating Game as well. Way too much flirting going on and not enough work.

I loved the way that Frank jumped on Tim when he saw him talking to Nicole. I think that if Arrow loses, Tim might be the sacrificial lamb since he does not appear to be 100% loyal to his team.
