I have absolutely no doubt kids in middle school and high school have heard far worse than talk of BJ's, but not from their OWN MOTHER saying how good she is at giving them!!!!!

I've read through all the comments about last night's show and haven't seen this addressed. I can't understand Joan and Melissa's need (very desperate need) to tattle on the others so much, esp. Annie, who has become a target for Joan. When Melissa berated Annie for talking about the others, I couldn't help but wonder if Melissa forgets the camera is there when she is bashing Annie non-stop and others as well.

I felt Joan's crying wasn't because she had a good heart, but because she was afraid she might be the one fired. She should have been fired for causing so much trouble. I don't get a feeling from Ivanka that she much likes the Rivers women; however, Donald seems confused by Joan and is trying to find her good qualities. It's as if he's never seen this side of her before.

As much as many here dislike Annie, I feel the same about Melissa..just can't stand her. When she strutted away from the board room before the first firing, ugh...just ugh.

I have a question... since when did the hours of 9pm to 11pm, on Sunday night, become "family viewing hour"? I thought family time ended at 9pm, after which time it was "prime time" and geared towards adults and not children.

I didn't watch, nor did I record. I haven't watched for weeks. Annie's comment probably wouldn't have bothered me any more than her other loud comments. I know nothing about Annie or her family or friends. If they are embarrassed, it's up to them to let her know. What she says and if she embarrassed herself doesn't matter to me.

To whomever asked about upping the "sex ante" this season... if this is "sex" then I want none of it. Especially Trump drooling over younger pretty women. (One of the reasons I quit watching weeks ago.)

One thing that I find interesting is that Trump and the show producers obviously think that this sort of stuff will interest the American viewer or they wouldn't include it in the show. It may be unappealing to some but we can't argue that it hasn't generated a lot of discussion. So are they right?

Wow...only 2 comments and the last by Cricket about Joan's antics towards Annie. I felt she went WAY over the line with her remarks and the fact she couldn't stop! I'm not that big of a fan of Annie's but felt for her after that lashing in the board room.
I'm routing for Jesse, Brande and Annie in that order.
P.S. I'm glad Piers asked Jesse why he didn't have a anyone donate for charity, regardless of celebrity or not he could have at least got 1 or 2. He said himself in a private session he was 'saving' them for last and just going to use his work to get him by.

Heh, apparently we'd rather talk about sex than Hitler?

I've given up on Joan's irrationality on this program. At one time she said she would never speak to Clint again and would burn all his CDs. Then she's crying 'cause he might be fired?

So while I found her comments about Annie to be horrendous, it's difficult for me to take her seriously.

Then again, I found it fascinating that Donald thought Annie was so "sweet", when she really threatened and tongue-lashed that fella on the phone.

I will say, however, I had no idea Joan was in her 70s! I wouldn't have guessed that.

It's this sexualizing of children at 7,9,11 etc. that is causing 14 and 15 year olds to have children, and various VD diseases by the time they are 18, single mothers who are children themselves, trying to raise children. For heavens sake, let them be children without the complication of sexual innuendos ( and labeling them as sexual beings , whatever that means to a 7 year old!), there's going to be pleny of time for them to get involved in all that when they are older. Certainly, sex can be a beautiful thing, but right time, right place, right age, and I find it hard to embrace the "right age is 7 or 9.

I don't think Annie should be tar and feathered for saying this, I merely think it was inappropriate.

Sorry Lilfair, I misread your message. I thought, at first, you were referring to her children as sexual beings. I still think children hate to be reminded their parents are sexual beings at all, don't you remember, as a young child, gagging at even the thought? It's used all the time in situation comedies and all too true.

If Trump is smart...Joan and Annie final two. But those two will rip each other up before that.

To be honest I don't really care if Annie has kids or not. The comment was uncouth in my opinion, and it doesn't matter to me if kids heard it or not. I don't want to hear that stuff. Heck, I guess I'm alone in this but I still get queezy over the idea that people actually do that. I sure as heck don't get impressed to hear someone bragging that they're good at it. To me it's like bragging about being the best at picking your nose and eating what you find.

I guess Joan's comment didn't get me riled because I got where it was coming from. Annie's phony sweet act was meaningless because even someone like Hitler could come across as nice if it was to their advantage to do so. That woman having a meltdown over the phone and threatening that poor guy was nobody's victim. She likes to brag about how her friends are willing to come through for her, but now I think the other team may have been onto something when it was suggested that her friends are really just afraid to say no to her. I really thought she'd appreciate Natalie's gameplay, or at least laugh over the attempt. It was disappointing to see her blow up and then actually seek her out to confront her about it. That was freaky.

Clint and Annie both got Joan worked up. The difference is in the way they handled it. Annie continues to gripe about Joan to this day, whereas Clint found a way to work with her. Had Annie simply pointed out that she was not after Melissa but after Brian, or that Brian wanted to go home, she could've set Joan straight that night. Joan was still over-the-top in her disdain for Annie, but in the same way Annie brags about how at least her friends come through for her the rest of the players can say at least they've never been compared to various dictators.

I didn't realize Joan was also blogging on the episodes. She hasn't updated it after this one yet. http://www.joanriversblog.com/blog

Thx Bee, I thought the comment was during auction, I havent gotten that far in the show yet, fell asleep. After seeing the quote of what she said I take it as kind of funny. I also think it's an important talent in a marriage. Ask your husbands if giving a good one is as important as cooking a good meal :-)

Annie didn't decide that we should be "treated" to her talking about **** jobs. There are hours and hours of footage to choose from and the producers/editors decided to air that. It might have just slipped out, as can happen when people are kidding around.

Joan, however, is venomous, and I think letting her and Melissa tag team those they don't like is unfair, but of course there's nothing fair about this show anyway.

Curlyq..for what it's worth, I agree with you completely. I sympathize with Joan for having to deal with Annie. I hope she doesn't get ill from the stress of having to associate with such a nasty, phony person!

What I meant to add earlier is that what I really find obscene is the way money is talked about. I know these people are rich and it's all for charity, but it's starting to get irritating the way they talk about $35,000 like it's chump change. It takes the average American a full year of work to earn that much.

Curly, I also agree with the Joan/Annie stuff. I had been liking Annie a lot for the most part. But she is really really 2 faced. Moreso than most I've seen on this show. Very sweet to someone's face, but then full of daggers in their back when they turn away.

And Annie said what she said. You can't blame that on editing. She had control of what was coming out of her mouth. Especially cuz she was talking right to the camera. (As she was bragging.) I was amused with the bit they did on Annie when they showed her again and again say "me-me-me. I-I-I." I am just so impressed with her and all the things she is so great at. How she is so great at cooking, at cutting veggies, etc, etc...

I also agree with the "chump change" sentiment. It does get irritating to see these people act like donating that amount is no big deal...

Of course I can blame editing. They decide what to show. IMO she shouldn't have said it, and they shouldn't have aired it.

I'm glad she said it and glad they aired it cuz it cracked me up.

Of course as I have said before I wasn't offended by the bleeped statement and I don't worry too much about the affect it may have on some children whose parents let them watch the apprentice especially since early on Trump spoke of sex and sexiness- so parents were forewarned....I know I know talk about being good at BJ's is so shocking and obscene.

Umm, just cuz a kid did not see the Apprentice themself, they could still hear about it. Just takes one kid who saw it to spread the word. And I am not talking about kids outside of Annie's kids' world. As a mom, how could she take the risk and cause her kids the kind of grief that could result from that one comment?
