Starting the spoiler thread... hoping a right coaster can spoil for us on the left side of the continent! Wonder how Kinetic has been adapting to life in the tents? Wonder if Arrow is making as much of a mess inside the mansion as they did outside? Wonder why they are all so scared of bees when they are well protected in their beekeeping suits? Wonder why I'm even wondering, since I'm really not all that thrilled about this season, but it sure is an easy way to avoid working tonight!

Is it just me or do the rest of you feel that the editing and writing for this season really sucks the big one? I am so disappointed that we are not getting to see any of the team interactions or dynamics in development. Something as basic as being shown how or when they choose their project managers is sorely missing and does not make for good tv viewing. In fact it is a turn off . What do you guys think?

I think that the Apprentice is on it's last legs and would be surprised if NBC renews it.

You are definitely not alone Carlito. I want to see much more team interaction than we are...most boring season, I'd say. (but like Costa, it's a fantastic way to avoid work! LOL)

They seem more interested in that $10,000 giveaway. <77>

I am so disappointed in this season that i cannot even express it. To see DT in the boardroom talk about how smitten Tim is seems very inappropriate and quite a letdown. I mean, this is not the bachelor, and I don't care about romance in this show. I want to see more business type interaction. This season is a huge turnoff. What was the point of them collecting the honey? This is not Fear Factor. The Apprentice was fine the way it was. Seems like are trying t make it a mix of Survivor-the Bachelor-Fear Factor. Trump does seem to be acting <100> and I do not like the way he tries to get the contestants to rip on each other... Also not impressed with the rewards. I think showing the footage is a waste of time...

It really sucks the big one, Carlito. Really. And, apparently, big enough of a suck that no one was watching and spoiling tonight. That $10K giveaway? That's just a gimmick to get people to watch. And that's all it is is a gimmick. Turns out I don't need to avoid work tonight. Some eejit just shut down the server, and since I can't access the server remotely (and the server is in a locked room in Palo Alto and I'm in San Diego and the IT guys are not answering their pages)... well, I'm off the hook for work! So... anyone around who knows who won and who got axed?????

The tent guys lost and went back to the tent after one night (or so) in the mansion. Aaron got the boot. Amy was PM for the mansion team and was lazy and dumb in the task but she was a firecracker in the boardroom.

Hey, can we vote for Trump to spend the night in tent city? I think that would get more people interested in watching. And since we know that Trump is all about the ratings, I'm sure he'd be happy to put his name up there

I find the whole sexual titillation, Trump leering thing stupid, irritating and totally inappropriate to what the show is supposed to be about. Sure, Trump is a horndog and would like to jump across the table and get it on with all the best looking girls, but the producers should not be allowing that crap on television. Those should be the insider stories that the contestants spill after the show is over.

LOL -- we said the same thing when the commercial said "Who do YOU want to see in tent city?" DH and I both said "TRUMP!" Actually, I think the team that lost tonight was in the mansion for a week (they just said that it was LIKE spending a night in a hotel it went by so fast). I'm glad Aaron got booted over Syria (HOW do I spell that man's name???). I'm not sure it was all Aaron's fault either, but I hate to see the one guy who volunteered to go to the other team get butchered b/c they have no loyalty to him. I want to know why the two in "bulk sales" didn't have to answer very many questions! Seems like if they'd been put to work pulling customers into the store (or found a tea shop that uses honey all the time rather than gas stations), they might have been able to get more business.

Surya, I think, Teach. I haven't watched it yet (it's not on here yet), but... if this ep shows Trump leering, then yes, seriously, this show has gone to heck. It's bad enuf the haves vs have nots. Then the lack of showing the challenges and how they strategize the challenges. This season is just absolutely horrid. And yes, I've heard it's been renewed. Or at least the rumors out there. And that the next time it may be in Las Vegas. Sigh. I think they should either give it up, or go back to how it was. They've ruined it this season. And I can't blame LA!!!!

Every week I watch this show and wonder why. It's just awful this time and I keep watching hoping it will turn into its old self. If Donald's father hadn't given Donald his start, he'd be an old tired used car salesman with a bad hair cut. <with apologies to used car salesmen everywhere>

I am off in another room now when they show the tasks, because there is rarely anything interesting...... when show the whining in 'tent city' I go to the bathroom...... during the reward I am flipping channels...... I settle in to watch the long awaited boardroom which ends up embodying the very definition of anticlimactic

This has become the best "errand show." Meaning, I can have it on in the background while I do dishes, laundry, cook dinner, etc, and just have it on and pay just enough attention to it to know who gets offed and such, but not have to worry that I miss much cause I'm distracted with other tasks.

now IMHO tonights episode sucked pretty badly. Something that immediately jumped into my mind was how Marissa's(?) idea of having two guys in chicken suits was demeaning to the "Crazy Chicken" restaurant....and this week we see the same guy who was working with Marissa cram himself into a Beekeepers outfit. that suit was tight enough to be sort of creepy yucky. I'd be avoiding that guy if accosted when shopping. so this week it is suddenly NOT embarrassing to don a funny costume! I take this to be a backhanded kudo to Marissa and a hint that the heavy guy indeed DID come up with the ideas that Marissa fought so hard to be implimented. Ok, I'm moving on. So........I think that I need to keep talley of how often DT says *ss or A88es during the show. In the boardroom I think he said it at least four times alone. Blechhhh On a final note, am I the only one who is finding these comps lame? It all just seems so 'small potatoes' this season. Other seasons they are selling condos or designing ads for new vehicles....this year it is Pollo Loco and making bathingsuits/ honey. The rewards sux - why waste airtime showing a Basketball game? I truly dont care who wins. Other seasons I pick a winner and cheer someone on. Not this year.

I agree with all of you. The show has become boring. It's really tanked. Can't believe it's been renewed.

If it was renewed I'll watch, but I was really hoping that it had been cancelled.

OK, so just watched last night's ep. <sigh> I'm really getting tired of Donald's language (his comment to Surya as Surya was leaving the BR, about getting by on the skin of his a$$). I did notice that he no longer yells at the contestants to get their arses in there (the BR), and now instead has his assistant escort them in. Arrow is really getting on my nerves. The three loudest contestants are all on that team -- Frank, Nicole, James. FWIW, Sue Bee honey is terrible honey. It may taste good to someone who doesn't like honey, but it is one of the most bland honeys you can buy. Literally. Finally, geez, Trump. Thanks for the spoilers. Now we know who's gonna win next week... There's no way Nicole and Tim would be hanging out at the pool (remember, that's only for the have's) if Arrow didn't win the next competition. Or if something else didn't happen (a reshuffling of teams? a "let's move everyone inside the mansion"?). I really don't watch this show to watch people suck face. Although, I guess considering how much this season "sucks", those little scenes by the pool are part of the theme du jour. Seriously, could this show go any MORE downhill?????

Oh yeah... comments on what happened last night... 1. Again, the margin of loss was very small. Literally, only a dozen bottles of honey. 2. Aaron. Really needed to go. He wanted Trump to "counsel" him for 30 seconds prior to the last BR, to tell him (Aaron) what he (Trump) expected of him? Um, Aaron, hon? Trump is looking for a leader (or so he says). Being told what to do does not a leader make... it does a follower make. 3. Aimee was pretty useless as a PM, but she did show backbone in the BR. Should be interesting next week, since it appeared her teammates were less than impressed with her leadership. 4. Go Kinetic! Good job to maximize the "we've got a Gold Medalist on our team" aspect. They should've won on that alone!
