So Chuck Lorre does these vanity cards things during the credits of his shows. I first noticed 'em during the credits of Dharma & Greg. Anyways, apparently, he bumped (physically) into Trump a few years back. And never forgot it. So his vanity card at the end of Two and a Half Men this week was: quote:Fifteen years ago I bumped into Donald Trump. Literally. I wasn't looking where I was going and, I suppose, neither was he. Our collision caused his very large bodyguard to charge toward me in order to neutralize any possible threat to his boss. Now what happened next is why I've never forgotten the incident. Trump quickly looked me up and down and correctly assessed that I posed no danger. With a small, smirking frown and a dismissive little wave, he instantly communicated to his hulking assistant that I should be ignored. The entire incident couldn't have lasted more than ten seconds. No one said, "sorry," or "excuse me," and we all went our separate ways. After all these years, the memory that lingers, the image that haunts, is of his smug pout and condescending hand gesture that somehow caused me to feel utterly insignificant. I was reminded of all this when I looked at the ratings of Two and a Half Men versus the ratings of The Apprentice. Hey, Donald, I just bumped into you again!
You can see all of his vanity cards on his Web site. And, apparently, his show has trounced Trump's show on Monday nights!

I was listening to one of those show's like Inside Edition or ET, can't remember which one as I was at work and I heard Donald Trump say that the TV veiwer's will get to help with calling in to pick the final apprentice for next years person, when they move to L.A. Did anyone else hear that?

Do any of you have any idea who will be in the F2, and who will be the Apprentice? I'm having a hard time this season trying to identify the top two candidates, let alone who I think will win.

Remember to please use the Spoiler tag to create a spoiler box if posting or responding to spoilers. \spoiler{Spoiler information goes here} Of course, speculation is fine.

Good question!! I don't have much of a feel for winners, either (just losers - LOL!). For a final two, I would pick Allie, Sean and perhaps Leslie. (Don't know a THING about Leslie, so I guess she's my "dark horse").

The guy with the English accent caught my eye. I don't think anyone on Lenny's team will be in the finals.

This wasn't a spoiler question. It's an honest question... who do you think will win?

As I said, speculation is fine without a spoiler box. I think it’s pretty up in the air at the moment. I don’t think it will be anyone from Gold Rush except maybe Charmaine. Who was the winning project manager this week (I haven’t had a chance to watch the show yet)?

I think Michael and Roxanne will be the final 2 and maybe Lee rounding out the third spot. Michael and Roxanne because they seem most level headed especially the times they were in the boardroom. I think level headedness is something Trump looks for. Lee rounding out the third because Trump loves a good yes man. Sean too but I think he's about to take it easy after his win and Trump might not dig that.

Has anyone noticed that they seem to have eliminated the winning PM being protected in the next round?

Yeah, I noticed that right off the bat. No more immunity. Hehehe. I like it better this way. I think some of the folks on a team agreed to give the PM immunity just to go along with things. You know, so as he or she didn't plant a target squarely on his/her own back by disagreeing. These folks are so danged contentious this year, though.

I think it is too early to tell... with half of these people, I have zero opinion and wouildn't even recognize them if I passed them by on the street.
