I was just thinking that same thing. Who is Marissa? We know nothing of the 'winning' team except the PM. It will be like a whole new show watching them for a change next week.

Geez, no surprise on this show. You knew Marisa was going right at the beginning. I didn't know she was in charge of marketing, though. Why put someone in charge and shoot down all their ideas. I think Heidi is too controlling. Wouldn't mind seeing her go soon. ETA: I think the people involved in the so-called romance are Tim and Nicole. She mentioned something about others telling her they had a 'connection.' She said she liked certain things about him.

They only made a tiny little hint about the showmance. Said something about how Tim's piano playing would be attractive to girls and then Nicole talked about how others said there was some chemistry. She said she thought Tim was cute (or something like that.) But they did not show anyone together at all. So maybe it is a slow lead into the romance??? Very very slow??? Still not liking the show nearly as much as I did before... Not enough tape on them coming up with their plans for the challenge.

So, we have to guess at the so-called showmance. Also, just what was the "huge mistake" the promos were talking about?

This show has really jumped in so many ways... Now we have the desperate 'showmance' teasers that don't materialize.

Donald must have written the promos too. All that "the best season ever" and "everyone loves the twist" stuff in the promos just have me laughing, since all I've ever heard are negative comments on both these issues! I've noticed Donald likes to make outrageous comments/observations stating "facts" the way he sees them, with the "everyone knows that...." approach. Like if HE says its so, then so it is.

Again, I am just bewildered at Turmp referring to Heide and co. as having won a lot. They won twice in a row! That is hardly a trend. The third time they did not compete. Then to be surprised they lost? He just likes having her in the boardroom with him. I am tired of him. Tired of the show, dislking the twists, especially the idea of the winiing PM remaining PM. NBC- it is time to tell Trump "You're fired".

Does anyone know why Marissa and Derek were working together separate from the rest of their team during the brainstorming part of the competition?

The show isn't holding my interest. I find myself not caring about any of them and not caring enough to remember who is who. Marissa kept shouting people down in the boardroom and talked over everyone, including Trump. At one point he point blank told her to shut up. This didn't bode well for her and she's history.

Marisa may have survived tribal council (oh, I mean the boardroom) if she had just shut up! I wanted to reach through the screen and punch her right in the mouth...

This show is walking on my last nerve. There was no showmance last night and I kept waiting to see what was so bad it had The Donald fuming. The promos made it sound like someone had broken the law. I'm also really tired of hearing how this is the best season ever and the viewers love the twists.

This show has jumped the shark, belly flopped into the ocean, and is steadily sinking into the sunset (one finger, two fingers, three fingers... you're done!). There is no showmance. Nicole saying she thinks Tim is cute. Did Tim say he thought Nicole was cute? Marissa talking over everyone in the boardroom, including Trump. Is THAT what had Trump so fuming in the promos? And because one of her ideas gets shot down, she thinks she can't think of anything else? Truly, though, the only reason Arrow won this task was cause of the 22 orders they got in bulk. That gave them the $100+ edge. Otherwise, Kinetic would've won by about $20. Although I enjoyed seeing Andrea Bocelli perform (and now that I think of it, didn't another team in NY get to see him perform?), this show spends way too much time and footage on the haves vs have nots (the food they were eating on the beach vs the food they were eating in the tent city; the packing of the folks leaving tent city vs the packing of the folks leaving the mansion). At exactly almost the halfway point in the hour, they went into the board room. Yes, definitely. Jumped the shark and belly flopped, and is slowly drowning in Trump's own excesses. I agree... Time for NBC to say "Trump, you're FIRED!".

If they changed the format so they could spend more time in the boardroom, then cut the reward footage out. Not the footage of them brainstorming.

I really didn't like it when, at the beginning of the show, Trump called them looking for someone to switch...he called the loosers very nasty things...and for what? They had only lost 2 times to the "winners". And yah, we have seen so little of them actually working on the tasks that we barely even know who the candidates are... Enough already on the living conditions. I don't watch this show to see them struggling at camp...nor did I actually think they needed to be living in gold-guilded suite but I always thought that was more a function of Trump wanting to portray Trump Tower as opulant... Theoretically these people are supposed to be moving on to the next rounds because of their savvy business minds, but we don't get to see any of that. All we see is when their is a personality conflict causing someone to be fired...it has become more like Jerry Springer than business savvy..

It seems like they're doing a little work, then we see part of the task and then they're in the board room. Where is the business? I think I'm going to skip it next Sunday. I can't believe I said that, this used to be my favorite show.

Next Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday! I think Trump thought his ratings would suck if he was up against that!

Heck no, Costa, he'd blow 'em outta the water! Don't you know that the Apprentice's ratings are through the roof? I think it's all the diabolical twists or something...where have you been???

Does anyone know why Marissa and Derek were working together separate from the rest of their team during the brainstorming part of the competition? Chiliwilli, they were in charge of Marketing, which supposedly lost the challenge. However, every idea they came up with was shot down by Heidi. Therefore, she should have been fired instead of Marisa. Why put people in charge of marketing and not let them market how they see fit? Donald needs to watch the tapes more; he blew that whole boardroom by not really knowing what went on. Having last year's winner there in the boardroom wasn't the same as having Ivanka, because she would have lambasted Heidi for shooting down Marketing's ideas. That's what I think. The other team leader tried to defend Marisa, but Trump ignored him.

Er, actually, they only came up with one idea and it was that one idea that was shot down. The chickens. Marissa didn't come up with any other ideas at all, claiming that because she was shot down once she felt stifled. And in this case, I think Marissa did need to go. She could not (or would not) move on past the chicken idea. It wasn't a coincidence that they showed us at least three different times that she called and talked about the chicken. And the name of the product. Although I don't think Paradise Pollo Bowl was the problem. Kinetic didn't do anything to bring people in, once Marissa's chicken idea was shot down. There was a lot of footage of balloons and banners and all at Arrow's facility, but nothing but a couple of goons in suits passing out samples in the order line at Kinetic's. If it had been me, I'd have been promoting the heck outta "One Day Only! Enjoy Paradise (Pollo Bowl) for One Day Only!". Hello? There was a ton they coulda done with that. Including leis and palm trees and all sorts of stuff.
