The show just started and I'm already hating the way the team is treating Melissa. She had some great idea's especially the one concerning playing poker against Annie and sweating, would be a cute commercial, may not be a great photo shoot, but great commercial. Anyone who doubts Melissa is treated like the unpopular kid in school is sadly mistaken, they have shut her out. Annie is the bully in school, and Brande is her OH so pretty sidekick.

Jesse acts like a big baby, sulking and withdrawing. Sorry, but I still don't see for a second what Sandra Bullock sees in that guy.

first off - they should listen to what Piers said "its about money" Annie brings in the money - she will make it to F-2 Joan - at 72, I cringe at her old school thoughts - its sad, but then, she is my mil, mom's age, and I cringe at their thoughts too - when they say them out loud!! (lol mom and I were getting our nails done before ds wedding and she says OUTLOUD "I hate going where people dont speak English, I go to a nail salon where the ONLY speak English" omg - then my person started attacking my fingers with the nail file - thanks mom) and annie saying that she is a poker player and knowing how to manipulate people - right on, she knows what to say what to do to win! that's what makes her a poker player winner! Not sure what Jesse's problem is. I dont know where Clint is coming from -

Oh wow. Melissa and Joan at the end. No words! What was on the note that Donald Trump showed Jim Cramer in the boardroom? I have been watching with one eye and missed it. So, does Joan return next week?

It's not fair that we don't know what that note said! It really did seem to turn everything around. I don't blame Melissa for being mad or Mama Bear for defending her cub, but wow!

I think she got fired because she interrupted the Donald.

Was Melissa the worst leader ever on any Apprentice. My memory is questionable but I can't remember anyone a worse loser than Melissa. Joan was over the top nutty tonight but she did say she'd walk if Melissa was ever sent home. Jesse has all the same qualities that people dislike about Annie. The more this season goes on the More I like Clint, Clint is fast becoming the "normal" one - yikes.

Sasha, that thought crossed my mind, too. Funny though, how many times they used the exact same clip of that Jim person with his surprised look, lol!

Melissa really threw a hissy, huh? And Jesse is beyond flat-out rude. He's lucky Clint didn't haul off and sock him one. Calling the guy stupid not once but three times to his face! And it was the mean way he said it too. I'm glad Trump told him in the boardroom that he "really needs to be more gracious." No kidding. I think Joan's gone--she won't be back.

OK, I was a big Joan, Melissa fan, and I still adore Joan ( even with her mother bear behavior), but I thought Melissa, after being fired, was way over the top. I agree she should have been furious, but just refusing to shake hands would have been sufficient, not cussing and carrying on. I understand her anger, she knew this was coming, and maybe it was all just too much for her. Brande was manipulated by the shark, Annie, and thus Melissa's dismissal was also orchestrated by the poker player. Many will applaud Annie for her cut throat behavior, but I think it's very sad that we have come to admire people of her ilk, it started with the first Survivor, and now the prize goes to the sneakiest, sleeziest, most duplicitious person. That being said, this is a "game", and she's playing the game, and playing it well, but I would hate to be on Annie's bad side. ( I still love to watch her play poker)

Half way through the show I'd done a 180 flip on Melissa and Jessie. I'd disliked Melissa before but thought she was absolutely right during the task that she was being ignored. Jessie I've loved up until tonight. But my softening toward Melissa did a complete flip after the way she exited the show. Have some dignity girl! Talk about a spoiled brat who didn't get her way! And Joan was no better. Storming out after name calling again and saying forget about the charities. That's what Celebrity Apprentice is about....the charities! Alright, I feel better now.

"The more this season goes on the More I like Clint, Clint is fast becoming the "normal" one - yikes." LOL ~ The more this season goes on, the more I don't like any of them and think they should all fire their agents.

Sasha, I agree with you, it looked like Brande was on her way out, then Melissa cut the Donald off, and said " May I finish"!! I very, very dumb move Melissa. Did you see how quickly that guy, who Trump passed the note to, changed his tune from "Brande must go" to Melissa's out of here? I completely agree with you, cutting "The Donald" off is suicide. Actually cutting any of your superiors off and saying "May I finish", is really crazy. I think she shot herself in the foot with that one remark. Of course Annie didn't help.

Melissa orchestrated her own demise. They don't like me... wah, wah, wah. The sad thing is the girl seems to have skills. She just has such a huge chip on her shoulder. After that exit demonstration and some of Joan's venom, I really feel sorry for anyone that has to work under those two.

I couldn't help but feel that Melissa got fired tonight because she interrupted Trump when he was trying to talk to her. Last week she spoke rudely to the guest boss. The looks between Trump, Ivanka and the Jim Cramer were hysterical after Melissa told the Donald to let her finish. LOL! I couldn't help but think the note Trump then passed to him was to say Melissa should be fired, which Jim promptly did say. In watching tonight and the last few weeks, every time they cut to Melissa (and it's many times) all she does is whine how unfairly she's being treated. That's no way to win. It seems she's never had to fend for herself and isn't that great at it. I was annoyed at Annie tooting her own horn so much tonight, but the reason they were ignoring Melissa was from her past actions and accusations. In the beginning of the show it was going great for Mommy and Daughter because they were picking who would be project manager and thought they had the game won. However, bringing in a lot of money has rather thrown them for a loop. Very rude exit from Melissa and Joan also. They should not let her come back...why..just to throw more insults @ Annie? I loved Ivanka's sense of humor tonight when Brande was talking about having to be smarter if your blonde and pretty. I like Ivanka very much. She seems to read people much better than her Dad.

Yes Aurora, the storming out was uncalled for. I also did a 180, up until that moment I was feeling sorry for Melissa with the two girls ganging up on her ( which they did). When she threw her fit, I lost all compassion.

The premise of Apprentice is to do well as project manager and to work well as a team. Melissa may have some good ideas or good business sense, but she can't work on a team. If she has so ostracized her team mates I say that is her fault. There is a reason they ignored her...

tonight it was a bright spotlight - its all about bringing in the money - IF Melissa, Annie and Brandy all things equal - Brandy would've left - but because she could throw her money bringing in abilities - SAVE. Annie made the most money EVER - Save.... who's left? yeah, I would've been not happy also. Regardless of drama and whine.

I didn't watch the first Celebrity Apprentice... so this is really about who has the richest friends? Is that what it boils down to? It's not about the best leader, the best innovator, the best team player? I'm very disappointed if that's all it's about. Melissa should not have been sent home tonight. Brande delegated everything to Annie. Annie designed and presented and they lost. They barely let Melissa do anything. But she leaves because she doesn't have as many rich friends? I would be furious too. Now I agree, she could have left with a little more class. Well, a lot more class.

Shame on Melissa for the way she acted upon being fired. I certainly understand her being frustrated, but the Super Duper HISSY Fit she threw was pathetic. And Joan needs to mind her own business and let her 40 year old daughter fight her own battles and Melissa needs to stop running crying to her mama. I would never hire Melissa to work for me as I thing she has shown us a poor attitude and cannot work well on a team.
