Yes, thanks for the explanation about the Journey song and the black end. I thought the song was odd, (but I love Journey and that song) and I also thought that a mistake was made with the black end... No HBO here either. (NBC must assume a lot: that people know (or recognize) who country singers are, who boxers/fighters are, who softball champs are, who (soft-core) porn stars are and that everyone has seen the Sopranos.)

The playboy bunny. I forgot which one, I think Tiffany Fallon. [Are playboy models considered soft corn porn? Def of porn: noun: creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire.]

Piers was the recipient of the dunking.. Oh. Thanks, Sea. I'm sorry I missed that. lol And, oh, Tiffany Fallon. I guess when I saw "soft core porn" I thought about stuff like that guy from Survivor, not Playboy. But I get it now. Thanks.

Did anyone else think the guy standing outside as Vinnie left looked like Bill Murray?

Thanks for the explanation about Tito (and for the Journey song at the end ... I never watched the Sopranos, so I didn't get it). Whether it was scripted or not, I still thought it was a pretty entertaining two hours. I loved the large croc, but I thought the ladies' slogan stunk.

The large croc was cute... but it would be a rather expensive recycling bin. The boys slogan was great.

Trace's slogan was excellent, but their bin wouldn't really call attention on its own. I think the giant CROC would appeal to kids and adults and kids do wear lots of CROCS. Oh and kids are more likely to outgrow CROCS too. Piers is one of the judges on America's Got Talent and his schtick there is to basically fill the Simon Cowell role, but he seems to outdo Simon with meanness.. especially to child competitors. Basically he is the disagreeable judge with the British accent. Not sure what else he's done. === One think I've liked so far is that Donald isn't involving himself in the presentations of the checks, but those seem to be low key, between the person who "won" the check and the recipient/charity. Of course there is the camera so they can show it and get "credit" but it could have been SO bad and it isn't.

havent watched the show yet but to clarify something, the reason tito was not there wasn't due to him having a fight but to him be a corner man for another fighter. i believe this show was taped in oct/nov and tito last fought in july.

1. I'm really getting tired of seeing Lennox being used in all their campaigns. Unless I'm mistaken, I'd bet quite a lot of Croc wearers do not know who Lennox is. 2. I'm really getting tired of Piers and his attitude. I don't blame Vinnie for wanting to leave. I had Piers supercilous-ness looking at me all day long, I'd bail, too. Just because he's a Brit does not make him superior. 3. I was getting tired of the "rat" motif. Vinnie was an ACTOR in a TV SHOW. He was not really in the Mafia. 4. The taunting of the girls by Piers and Stephen was totally childish and completely uncalled for. Once maybe, to let them know they (the guys) knew what they were doing. But to repeatedly, over and over again, rub it in? Those two lost any bit of respect I had for them after that. (Although Stephen gained some of it back by saying that he thought Piers should go, I think the reason he thinks that is so he can be the strongest leader in the guys.) 5. Ivanka's agreeing about sabotage is basically what encouraged the guys. Had she said something about ethics, they probably would've cut back and called Vinnie back. 6. I really did think Vinnie decided he wanted to be on the girls team. 7. Finally... WTH???? Omarosa sure has an inflated sense of self! She thinks SHE is a 9-1/2? Um, nope, sorry, not even close!

Maybe the 9 1/2 referred to her shoe size?

I liked the way the woman presented their campaign. I didn't like the way Pierce presented at all, in fact, I'd like to slap the mean right out of him. He can't hold a candle to Simon, lol. The guys had the better slogan and that was it. The girls should have told Vinnie just to go catch a show or something and let his leader(pierce) get fired for not using him. Vinnie had a few suggestions but he seemed to take credit for the woman winning. I wasn't a big fan of his last night. Baldwin guy bugged me with his born again talk. Kind of reminded me of my dad asking me if I have found a church up here to go to. ??? Uh, dad, first of all you never took me to church my entire childhood(we all took the bus to church) and 2nd I have lived up here for over 20 yrs, why ask now? oops, this isn't the gripe thread

From the previews next week Stephen B gets in a snit ala Vinnie. Piers must be too abrasive to deal with, though his cut throat ambition to win is without question. Omarosa a 9 1/2, interesting. Since few people watch Apprentice they don't know her on sight, now they learn 9 1/2 is basically how many fans she has?

Ya think Stephen may be going for camera time cause Vinnie got alot with this last ep? Piers IS the leader of that man's team & all of the guys have allowed that to happen. Funny how Stephen wants to bail now because he got caught up under Piers's wing. Stephen wanted so much to be considered the guy leader & it's funny that probably Piers is the only one that really respected him for his worthiness.

Omarosa was just being cute. She knows she is a 10 to Carol's 9.5, since Carol is so doggoned old.

It's rather funny how Stephen decides to "look down on Piers' behavior". They have been working so well together so far. All the brain-storming and bantering they enjoyed with each other, I was beginning to think that, those two should probably get something going in real life since they complete each other nicely! 9 2/1 my behind! <100> DT is about the only one loving her. He should just hire her himself and get over it. (Get it over with?? Which one do I need here?) When I first learned about them stretching the show to two hours to do "Vinnie the Rat" thing, I warmed up my FF finger to prepare for the worst. But they did include many of the work both teams have to do to get the job done. Well, the guys did get big-headed and let their inner naughty boys came out to play for them. The ending was good. It took me a few seconds, but it was recognizable. But whoever said NBC is taking a lot for granted is correct. I didn't know who two thirds of them are. Even now I still don't care so much to ever see some of these people ever again.

Piers blew it!! The whole lets send a spy wasn't a bad idea.. till he decited to blow it by throwing it into the girls faces that he knew what was going on. Hello!!! Of course he set Vinnie up.. the girls would instantly know who the "spy" was.

I didn't think that Piers expected Vinny to infllitrate the girls camp... Didn't he merely send him into the hall to eavesdrop on the girls like he thought the girls were doing on them??? I thought Vinny took it farther...

Seems like of the Baldwins, Billy is the only untroubled one and he is married to Chynna Phillips, is a vegetarian and was PETA's sexiest vegetarian. The others.. Alec seems to have anger management problems (revolving around ex Kim Basinger and daughter Ireland.. he's writing a book which will explain all) and politics, Daniel has drug problems (and the matter of auto theft and auto accidents)(currently on Celebrity Rehab) and then we have Stephen of the religious conversion at the hands of a middle aged Brasilian housekeeper shortly after the 9/11 attacks, his ministry promotes laser shows, skateboarding. (currently on Celebrity Apprentice, he also wrote a book espousing worrying more about preaching than about Third-World debt.. directed at Bono, also crusading against an adult book) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_brothers
