I think Omarosa is secretly in love with Piers and wishes they were dating but cannot let it show, so she let it out in opposition and dislike. Omarosa also admitted she will deliberately push his buttons; guess her way of getting noticed. "Go away O, Go away O"

deliberately pushing someone's buttons seems like such a childish way of behaving. She acts so unprofessionally.

I find it hard to believe she wasn't told or even encouraged to 'stir it up' Otherwise that behaviour would have been penalized. Trump is losing it and by appealing to some ridiculous need to watch people melt down or fall apart that some portion of the viewing public seem to have is his last gasp... makes no sense that a nobody would be given free reign to behave this way without someone in charge saying it's ok to do it. So it's ither Burnett or Trump scraping the bottom of the barrel for a shot at ratings. Sad waste of the public airwaves if you ask me...but then a lot of it is and nobody asked technically.

As for me, Omarosa and her "antics" are not the reason I watch. I can't stand to see that type of thing on tv. I hope Trump/Burnett and everyone else who produces reality tv would realize there are plenty of viewers like me who want to see good interactions between people and not all the fighting. (I realize plenty want to see the fighting too...sigh...)(makes me grieve for society...)

I bet Trump's point is something like this: Take out every post in this thread that complains about Omarosa. (Not just mentioning her, but complaining or saying how they can't stand her...) Then how many posts are left? I would guess about three. I bet Donald compares that to ratings somehow. Also, I bet Donald does not care if it is "good" TV or not, just that it is TV that is getting talked about.

I don't like Omarosa nor do I personally think it makes good TV. But I do think that execs that are in charge of all of this, do think like Julie is saying. I think they are just trying to keep the show at the water cooler each morning and this thread is perfect example of the water cooler. We all hate it, but it is also the most talked about topic in the thread, even if it is us griping about it, it is more talked about than the stuff we do like. I think that says a ton in the execs mind unfortunately.

I've watched every episode of Apprentice since it's first day on television. I don't now/never have watched because of Omarosa. Right now it's all about Trace. I really want him to be the "last man standing". The crazy thing is - I dislike country-western music. To me this guy is one class act. I'll finish watching this season, but if there is another Apprentice, I'm just not sure. Kinda feel about this the same way I'm feeling about Big Brother.

If I had been Piers I would have said, "excuse me,,,do you even know my children?" It was so phony,,,,she said the exact same things to Janice Dickenson on Sureal Life. Someone saying things like that to me would almost make me laugh. I'd say, "Let me call my kids and let them tell you how much they don't hate me and how proud of me they are." I can't wait to see her fired.

I was so hoping DT would change his own rules (when have the "rules" ever kept him from doing what he really wanted to do? He's the boss!), and fire Omarosa for being sooooo unprofessional. She wasn't even pretending to be part of the team. Her whole mission of the day was to annoy Piers in any way possible. She was actually working AGAINST her own team, when she was trying to sell tickets when he told her not to (was trying to hold back some carriages for the high rollers). The woman's behavior <24> is just vile. I don't see how anyone would ever hire her again. Oh, yeah, wanted to add that I love Trace, but the chewing tobacco has to go. Isn't it illegal to spit in NYC?? Gross!!! Thought I was watching Dick Donato.

I do not agree that Omarosa was working against her own team in that situation. It was Piers who was working against his own team, letting those carriages sit there idle and telling his teammates to NOT sell tickets!!! (Even Marylou made a comment on how there were always Piers' team carriages sitting there empty while hers were always being used. -- Though turns out it didn't help her win!)

Well, it worked out for Piers really well, didn't it? I think he was saving the carriages for the high rollers. Pretty smart move IMO.

Guess we'll never know. Seems to me he could have kept one in reserve, but to hold several up did not seem smart to me, however, they did win and that is the bottom line.

Piers stated his strategy quite clearly: if a high roller came in, and the carriages were gone, they wouldn't get the money. The person making the donation HAD to take a carriage ride. So yes, Omarosa was working against her team when Piers specifically requested that they stop selling tix on the street and wait to see if any of their contacts showed up.

My point is while they had most (if not all) of their carriages idle, they could have "saved" one or two for the potential high $$ contacts and made some more money in the meantime. But we did not actually see if he did keep all of them idle or not. And he did win the task, so he did something right.

I like Trace's personality, and he's good looking and in all the best on the show. But I would never, ever want to be around him because of his disgusting tobacco habit. His spitting all over the place is absolutely vile.

Julie, they had three carriages. They held two back for the "contacts" and left one running for on the street sales.

I finally got around to watching this. Omarosa's actions on this episode were ridiculous and borderline desperate. Attacking Piers' relationship with his children, deliberately not following directions and deliberately sabotaging the task. Probably the worst performance by anyone to ever appear on The Apprentice.

It wasn't about carriages, just about who could call in the biggest checks. It wasn't even about charity in a way since clearly the person who took a private jet to NYC to deliver a check could have donated the price of the flight also and stayed home and more would go to charity. Omarosa did say on Reality Remix that they didn't show any of the donations she brought in but she gets it about editing.

Oh and she is clearly in her element playing the role she is playing (and reporting it on Fox Reality)..

Even though this season is fun to watch (purely for the fighting among the teams), it's getting a little bit repetitive. It's no longer about who has the best business sense. It's all about who knows the most rich people and who can get them to show up with the cash! Oh, yeah, DS was convinced that had Hydra lost, Piers would've pulled a Gene Simmons, "It's either her or me!" I can't wait to see her fired.
