I whole heartedly believe Piers and Omarosa were put in this show to do exactly what they have done....cause lots of drama. I think this is all planned out and very fake all for the purpose of good TV.

Me too, Angelfairies...I love me some Trace!

I sure didn't see Piers reactions as being fake at all tonight! Omorosa's constant in your face and calling him "son" looked planned. Who in their RIGHT mind would go on and on like she did?

I think DT was dying to fire them both, but probably Piers a bit more than Omarosa. He (piers) had no real defense. He kept on saying that she was insulting his kids, but she did not insult them, she insulted Piers. I think that really was a sore spot to him. Now she was way over the line, but if you want to get technical... Everyone says how much they do not like the way O acted, but Piers, come on, he was just as (if not more) immature than O.

Why didn't DT fire the PM of the losing team? That is pretty much how it goes if you can't figure out who to fire... it boils down to the PM. SO this season does seem rigged...

I agree the reason Omarosa was included this year was for the drama, and the viewership. But the last couple of weeks of her have me almost turning the channel, and tuning into TVCH to get the results. Piers is an <100>, but given enough rope and he can hang himself. Just to bad that Omarosa didn't get carried away on a horse!!

I don't care for either Piers or Omarosa but I thought in this instance Piers showed great restraint. I would have decked O.

I was thinking tonight that who wants to watch an unrelently negative hour of tv?

Omarosa was predictable (from the previews). Piers started in based on her spelling his name wrong but to be fair he has purposely mispronounced her name all season. And he's the older one, he was the project leader and when you manage people you have to deal with the whole team and not be sucked in by one difficult person. He should have just assigned Omarosa to work with one of the others and stopped with all the vitriol.

As for the seaons, with the people calling in their rich contacts (which Donald encouraged from day one), there is almost no point in the actual task at hand. No judging of who did the best job providing a service or whatever, just who knows people with an open checkbook in NYC (or who can fly in in a private jet. YAWN.

I don't like the way he keeps flinging people around either. Piers has been the cause of one person outright quitting, one threatening to quit and then being allowed to be on another team, so then Trump puts Omarosa with him, which is a guaranteed disaster, now he moves her away. And Piers took some cheap shots at Lennox tonight which looks to come to a head next week.

Heck if they wanted someone who could be controversial, they should have tried to get Sharon Osbourne instead of Piers. She could have handled Omarosa and she's a take no prisoners business woman too.

Just a fantasy.

Maybe next week he'll just fire two of them?

I agree with those who say Omarosa was put on the show for controversy, but so was Piers. He and the other judges fought all through America's Got Talent, and Sharon Osbourne quit over his comments to children and parents. That was probably mostly for show, as well.

But it just isn't good tv, what was on tonight.

I was disappointed in the show tonight as well. They are not playing for a "real" job, they are playing for charity, grow up people.

The Apprentice...
has dismal ratings and the efforts to mix it up by DT backfired.

Looks like I didn't miss much.
I totally forgot about the Apprentice, not even sure if I recorded the 2/14 episode.Oh how the mighty have fallen !The Donald should be so ashamed of how low this show has dropped. It used to fun to watch. Does anyone remember the night he fired 4 people ?? What great tv that was. They were all crammed in that little cab. < giggling here >

I thought Sharon quit for 5 minutes and returned. Is she gone for good?

Great points Seamonkey!! And Especially the point of "what the heck was this task anyways???!!" Really, there was no creative plotting at all (aside from Marylou getting champagne and roses). It was all about who knows the richest people and can get them there in time...

Omarosa is just too painful to watch!!!! YIKES!
I feel bad for the team that gets her next week!

Boy, Billy Baldwin is way more handsome than Stephen!
I loved Trace last night!

Hey, why did DT turn into a mushball and not fire anyone? There were plenty of "tough calls" before, when it was hard to choose one person at fault, and usually he'd default to the PM in those cases. I don't like DT being so "mushy." (for lack of a better term.)

There will be another celebrity edition starting next January. Will <Omarosa> return? Don't bet against it.

Sea - YES! ITA the rich contacts that can get here in time with CASH - it had to be CASH - I was thinking they should have done a people count vs a dollar amount - of course in Piers business he has more high rollers, and of course Omarosa has none -

ITA it was just an hour of negativity - with a few bright spots - and Marylou and Trace were definately bright spots - I thought also that Piers was confident he will not be going anywhere, he will be appeased by DT - you know there was behind the scenes talk along with "its making goood tv"

Omarosa did lay out her strategy and in her mind she did say she didnt go after the kids, but after Piers weakness - I thought Lennox was funny in his remarks!

LOL... I guess I've lost interest, too, since I completely forgot this was on and forgot to set my DVR to record it. Is it worth it to ask what the task was?

As for Omarosa and Piers, well... Omarosa has never ever been a favorite of mine, and I never ever thought she was classy (sorry, Cricket!). And I honestly thought Piers was a bit classier than it seems he's been. If the two of them were put on the show purely for drama, then what the heck is the reason for this show? Has Trump jumped the shark? The original premise -- celebrities competing to be Trump's "apprentice" but really winning $$ for their charities -- was great on it's own. Was it really necessary to bring in such distasteful people just to be able to air exaggerated conflict for an hour? So sad, because this could've been a warm/fuzzy Apprentice for a change. (And yeah, I caught the Pedigree commercial during the Westminster show, and thought it was really cute, but I still wouldn't have known who Lennox was if I hadn't seen this series.)

I must have lost interest completely because I had no idea Sharon Osbourne was even on it.

BeeKind, Sharon Osbourne was not on this show, she was on America's Got Talent as a judge with Piers.

Tonight's show was just plain boring. Why have a task at all? Just give them all an hour to call all their contacts and the one who gets the most bucks wins.

Piers and Omarosa was just as boring. Your kids don't like you, nyah, nyah, nyah. Don't talk about my family. Your kids don't like you...on and on and on.

Piers should have just ignored her.

Lennox got the only good line when he called Omarosa ghetto. LOL.

Really Puzzled, that is the total bottom line. As annoying as O was, why didn't Piers just ignore her!!!??? He really is something!

I didn't see how Piers could ignore her, she put her face right up next to his over and over again...calling him "son" repeatedly (that's what made me want to punch her face out the most)
