Watching it now. I have not noticed up until now, but Omarosa's hair looks really good in that style. And Trace turning bright red when Stephen is talking about featuring Trace in a bathtub with yogurt Dial soap being poured all over him is cuter'n snot.

I think Trump pointedly makes a big deal over the out going celeb's positive sides to offset any feelings of "failure" they might feel at being "fired". I don't think his praise has anything to do with getting more celebs on his show. Tito is a fighter, not a business presenter. I believe Trump didn't want Tito to leave feeling bad about what he wasn't able to do. Trump did similar things with all the fired celebs, but I think he went a bit overboard with the praise this time because he genuinely LIKES Tito... ...as usual, just my opinion....I could be wrong

Obviously no on but Omarosa would work for Trump, but they haven't said what the payoff is for the winner.

I thought I heard Donald kind of mention the end prize last night. He was talking about how Omarosa should have been PM because she didn't win any money for her charity yet. Then he said someething about "other than the big money at the end.'?

Thanks, FAN3. I said that a few days ago and got criticized. I feel fairly sure the show was set up from the beginning to allow Omarosa to win. Trump's pretending not to see anything she does so it seems pretty obvious to me.

Omarosa hasn't won any money for her charity because she lead her team to a loss each time she was PM.

This show confused me! I guess I can't work for a major women's magazine...even though I would be in their demographic. I thought Tito's team's ad was far better than Carol's. She is gorgeous, but I had seen all of those shots before. What was original about it? Even the biting/nibbling shot is overdone. Tito's team was at least a bit original to me. Not totally, but I didn't see majorly original as the goal to advertise that product in that magazine. I liked the wheat background and the shot with Trace. I thought the girl was pretty and wholesome and the ad was laid out well. It would have been something that I would have noticed....and thought it was beautiful (and I am not a country music fan and probably wouldn't have recognized Trace.) I even thought Tito was smart in picking the picture with the woman instead of putting the focus on Trace. Like I said, I thought they had won by a longshot and was shocked when Carol's team won. Didn't she say she had been on the cover quite a few times? Could that have influenced?

What was Omarosa thinking?!? Oh yeah, save her own skin as usual by urging Tito to be PM. Way to go, Lady O (as she calls herself now). Only Stephen put the brakes on her photo layout of the 3 bare chest cowboys (including Trace) who said he felt awkward. Yeah, maybe Stephen and I were the minority who read "Brokeback Mountain" into Omarosa's plans. I couldn't think of one Redbook reader or a Dial user who would see a link other than that, it was an insulting ad someone was wise enough to cut. Hey Donald, don't ya view footage of the show?!? The execs wanted a clean family ad appealing to women age 35-60. Omarosa acted like it was Playgirl and skipped Dial role except for 2 model cowboys carrying a tube of the body wash in their jeans.<66> The ad Carol's team ran was better, albeit the 'biting' photo after showing her nuzzling a baby. I'm no prude but a simple romantic touch and snuggle or even giving her shoulder a tender smooch conveyed it best as clean family fare.

I agree with you Riviere. I would accept the last Carol photo if the guy was kissing her shoulder and not biting it (although I didn't see the big deal anyway). I was amused that the other team (in the boardroom) kept the focus on the photos when it was my perspective that they lost mainly on the lack of content and/or the delivery of that content. Just me or isn't that what the Dial and Redbook people were telling Donald?

Omarosa was thinking that she wanted to save her skin. I am sure DT would see not trying to become PM as a smart move, particularly after he warned them that the losing PM would likely be fired. Sure she tried to save her own skin by changing her mind after she heard DT say that. But that was (obviously) a smart move. I won't argue that it might be viewed as a "scaredy cat/savin' my own ass" move, but it was smart nonetheless.

Did I hear Oma address Ivanka (D's daughter) as "Pumpkin?" How strange!

Okay, I have to say that O's photo that she wanted on the layout was a little too 'Brokeback Mountain' for me. She said it would appeal to more women, but I disagree. I wasn't sure if that demographic even reads Redbook. Just my opinion....

"Pumpkin". Yeah. It's strange and irritating to hear Rachel Ray call everyone "pumpkin" too -- no matter how old.

I once worked with a lady who called everyone 'honey'. It never seemed to be a term of endearment, it always felt like it was more of a way to take away power from me.

I'm on and off watching the show now, and noticed this... When Trump and the execs tell 'em about the challenge, before much else is said, Omarosa immediately say "I want to be PM." Twice. And then Trump immediately says his bit about PMs possibly being fired. At which point she immediately backed down and talked Tito into the PM role. I think he heard Omarosa say she wanted to be PM and he thought she'd fail miserably and was "warning" her. As in, if they fail, this would be the third time she's lost as PM and he couldn't help but fire her this time. I don't really hate anyone, but I absolutely cannot stand that woman. I really wish I could see what Trump sees in her. Cause he really does have her slated as the winner. And if that's the case, why even bother with the charade of "The Apprentice." Just call it "How to Give Omarosa the Title" and call it quits. <sigh>

I have a feeling that Ivanka is the type of woman who would recognize exactly what is going on when Omarosa calls her "pumpkin"...and giggle to herself knowing the reality! While I can't stand Omarosa either, she does have guts, listens to signals and tries to use them to her own advantage. Unfortunately she is not as good at it as she thinks she is. But her lack of awareness has made a very nice career for her!

Thanks OG. I rewound and replayed that scene a couple of times, and was pretty darned sure that was why she suddenly decided she didn't want to be PM. Is she the only one left who has not won anything for her charity?

Omarosa is still there for the same reason Piers is - they make for good tv. Tito, Trace, Lennox and Carol would be pretty boring if there alone. Really.....

I thought Piers was 'spot on' when he talked Carol into being the 'face' on the ads. She WAS the demographic of the magazine (and still looks good). Piers does know his stuff, the problem is that he cannot seem to take any other opinions about what should be done once he has made up his mind. This episode, he was quite nice. Lennox is the one who amazed me. He was having so much fun with his 'inner director', directing the Carol Alt shoot. Even Piers gave him props. I have enjoyed this Apprentice much more than the last few seasons. It's interesting to see whose competitive juices flow through the process. Of course, it would be better without "the O". I also loved when Steven called his mother to tell her about the additional 20K for her charity. He was so cute with her and she sounded adorable.
