That was so contrived. If they would have never had the mysterious guy standing outside at the end....I might have bought into it. But the guy standing there outside the building.....holding the newspaper under his arm and conspicuously trying to not look like a "Hit Man" just made me shake my head.

Still a fun show though. The leaving shots are obviously set-up (as they generally are).

hmmm I missed that 'mysterious guy' Nick - must have gotten cut off by my local programming (unless I totally just missed it) I think it was pretty evident though that Vinnie was in hot water before they got into the board room. He was like the weakest and most disloyal player ever. I also lol at Marilu's comment 'Vinnie thinks he's still on the Sopranos' and Piers 'I knew that Marilu wasn't going to kill him' LOL

Is it me or is Stephen Baldwin really that verbose? This is my first season watching Apprentice, so I've been keeping to myself...but tonights show was just way over the top. Omarosa is a real piece of work isn't she...dayam.

I swore I wouldn't watch until Omarosa was gone, but it appears she must be under contract or something and NOTHING was on tonight, so I taped the show. O M G! It was hysterical the way Vinnie was bouncing around back and forth. I don't think it was nice of Piers (sp?) to send him over there, though. The gals were not the brightest tools in the shed to let him work with them. If they would have lost, it would have been their own fault. Hello..it's a contest. You don't let the other side on your team. Nick, you are so right about Omarosa. Umm, is she now acting hypcritial as well as snooty, because I thought she hated Carol Alt. That was a complete about-turn. I liked how Donald's children lectured Vinnie on not giving up; telling him he probably would have stayed.

ITA, Nickovtyme. Says nothing but takes forever doing it - like me. I need to check my Bible, but I think somewhere it refers to Christians not being accessories to "sin" (cheating). Pot to kettle? Vinny killed me tonight. He kept saying Piers needed to realize he (V) was playing a role on Sopranos and not in real life, yet he kept referring to himself in the mob sense. And double-agent? Dude, you got caught, don't blame Piers for it. You agreed, thought it was a great idea, then started gettin' some love/acknowledgment from the women and flipped. I would have fired him if he hadn't quit. Sure, Piers let the women know about the spy, but I thought Vinny should've been back with the men's team long before then. Once he's been away for awhile, I'd doubt his loyalty to me and prepare for 'in case'. Don't know if it's been answered yet, but Tito had a fight this week. The Donald mentioned it at the start of the show, and that the teams were 5-4 instead of 6-4 which should help the ladies. Loved Ivanka's remark...something about corporate espionage being something O would do, and Ivanka was surprised that O wouldn't be more suspicious of V.

I thought this all seemed more than a Little scripted. Notice how in most scenes with the women, Omarosa was no where to be found?? Omarosa also was the one who told the women that they needed vinnie. It just reeks of a set up and a way for Vinnie to get off of the show with a chance to do some 'acting'. However, I thought it was insulting that the women refused to admit how much Vinnie helped them. Heck, He came up with most of the stuff IMHO. IF this whole 'rat' thing was legitimate, I could truly see why Vinnie just wanted to go. He would have been completely ostracized by both sides for two days. That would be causing me serious Acid Reflux due to stress LOL When he made the comment about having a heart attack, I had to agree. He was getting pretty angry. Piers looked like he was going to pop a blood vessel a few times as well. It was hilarious to watch the scene in which BornAgain stephen tries to recruit Piers. That is why so many people cringe at BornAgain christians. I've personally found that BornAgain Christians/ new christians often cant wrap their brain around the fact that many of us have had Christianity in our Whole lives....we didnt go thru Addiction or mental breakdown to 'discover' it.

I think Omarosa actually is capable of changing her mind or singing more than one note of a tune (unlike Piers) .. and I NEVER thought I'd be saying that.. What a great show. Still I was hoping Piers would walk, especially after two of his team chose him to leave, but this show is so different.. I can see where Lennox has the never quit attitude, but he's one of the few who has also managed not to have people undermining him and hasn't been a leader yet, so it is a bit easier for him to take the straight and narrow. On the other hand, many of the celebs came on the show for the charities and they simply aren't going to fight tooth and nail to "win".. I mean this isn't for a job. Gene and now Vince helped their charity and now they leave. Some of the softer women, better to leave and get away from all the rancor. (and Vinnie too.. couldn't take it, though he participated in it) LOVED the ending when it suddenly went black, just like the last ep of The Sopranos... lol, and I bit on it again, thinking it was my cable ROFL!! Loved the giant CROC Now if they are smart they'll rope Rosie into the campaign.. she's a HUGE fan of CROCS already, so if she urges her fans to get involved there will be lotsa crocs recycled. Donald Jr has really lost weight.. I hardly recognize him! Oh and I know there was some backpedalling about the sabotague by Vinnie, and Stephen and even Trace, but Ivanka did a bit herself, since she seemed okay with the idea but later it was well, it was different. And Piers, what a total lack of self control to go over and blab what they knew.. smacked of elementary school to me. But it was all worth it to have Piers lost the comp

I got the biggest kick out of this episode. The music at the end threw me, and I couldn't understand why they were playing that song until I remembered that Sopranos finale. Hilarious. It really was a shame that the women couldn't admit that it was Vinnie's idea to use Carol as the spokesperson and put a giant cardboard cutout next to the receptacle. Carol was talking about using Miss USA with a Croc on a leash. Marilu came up with the slogan, Omarosa came up with the giant Croc idea, and Nely was likely the one behind all the pamphlets and extra stuff. They all contributed, but they should've recognized Vinnie's contribution. They certainly did in the confessionals. I did not like the way Stephen used Lennox to cheat so he could say he didn't do it. Doesn't the Bible teach that it's even worse to tempt others to sin than to commit the sin yourself? I still consider him a fairly new Christian, but he may need more discipling before taking on a ministry of his own. Sunshyne, not all born again Christians come out of addictions or breakdowns or have trouble wrapping our heads around people having Christian upbringing. Many born again Christians were born again very early in life. It's just that we're taught that "by their fruit you shall know them," and going by Piers' fruit it's understandable that someone might think he wasn't acquainted with the gospel. Plenty of people spend their whole lives going to church but never even read a bible much less follow what it says. I know if someone who got to know me started witnessing to me, it would make me stop and check my behavior. These women seem to have really bonded now. Maybe having fewer members is an advantage rather than a hindrance sometimes. There aren't as many chances for personality conflicts. Right now my guess is that Marilu will win this. She really works hard and stays focused.

It's just that we're taught that "by their fruit you shall know them," and going by Piers' fruit it's understandable that someone might think he wasn't acquainted with the gospel. that verse is about False Prophets, not about fellow christians. but that is my point about stephen, the Born Agains that I've met thru my life have decided that they have the knowledge of the Truth and want to share it with people in a rather forceful way. unfortunately, they know the words of verses but dont have the comprehension to know what it is referring to. I want to make it clear I'm talking of NEW bornagains. An ordinary Christian who accepted Jesus into their life decades earlier is not a "born again". Maybe it is regional, but around here that is the term for someone who is a new Christian. They are often not up on ALL of the Biblical rules and are extremely judgemental about what they THINK 'real christians' should act like. Stephen Judging Piers is a great example. The Bible is very clear that a christian should present themselves a certain way so it is apparent that they are a Christian. It is not about other people, it is about how a person Carries 'themselves'. Stephen was tormenting the girls and as much as he tries to claim he wanted no part of the ruse, he LOVED it. How many times did they go up to the girls and say their Catchphrase? Stephen was mocking them. Anyways, this thread is about the show. however, I hate that people reading here may think that Stephen is a good example of what a Christian is. Everyone has warts, Christians are just people and I hated that he came off as superior when trying to work religion on Piers. I hope that further religious stuff is edited out of the show.

I'm watching Rachael Ray show right now and her guest is Mario Batelli (sp). Wouldn't it be great if Crocs used him and his orange crocs in the campaign.

Hi Everyone, I haven't been motivated to write about this show before but I LOVED last night's episode! I felt sorry for Vinnie but he did win for his charity already so it's not the worst thing that he left. I have NO idea who Piers is. I like his accent but I can't see why he's such a big celebrity. I thought that the Giant Croc was an amazing idea and that the girls deserved to win. The black guy is hot! At the end, when Vinnie turned around and gazed at the building I figured that was not in the script, but is sure was effective! At this point, I don't want anyone to be fired because I find them all likable.

Thanks for explaining that, Seamonkey. I don't get HBO, so have never seen Sopranos. I thought it was some glitch with my cable too. And I didn't "get" the wise guys standing around outside giving Vinnie looks. Very cute, in retrospect.
