I have always thought that Clint looked like Roy Rogers. I've always liked Clint so I'm glad I'm not watching this show!

I adore Scott Hamilton, but "EEE"??? I was embarrassed for him! Clint was a bit insufferable. Tom Green would so get on my nerves. I like Joan Rivers far more than I thought I would, but am not caring much for Melissa. Ivanka is indeed beautiful.

Tom was all about getting attention. Having a brainstorming session with the group is one thing, but continuing to brainstorm loudly by yourself while others have already settled down to their tasks is a whole other story. Then when he invaded the taping of Scott's private confessional to call more attention to himself, he really showed his...butt. There's a reason more than one of the guys suspected Tom was just interested in playing up for the cameras. He's way too old to be acting that way. Together Tom and Scott reminded me of those conversations you try to have with mothers while their children keep trying to interrupt with "Mom! Mom! Mom! MOM!" Meanwhile the mothers have heard "Mom" so many times they've learned to tune it out, and just continue chatting. Trace Adkins was a man of few words, and every time he spoke the whole group listened and usually loved whatever idea he had.

There's a reason more than one of the guys suspected Tom was just interested in playing up for the cameras. He's way too old to be acting that way. I think by that point Tom had been told to "Sit" "Shut-up" and called a "liar" ( by the three who offered him up as the scape goat in the board room ) and was frustrated and pissed off so he decided to make him self be heard. Treat someone like a child ..well.. he reacted like a child. He is a grown man who is creative and talented. They should of worked with him and instead of against him. Together Tom and Scott reminded me of those conversations you try to have with mothers while their children keep trying to interrupt with "Mom! Mom! Mom! MOM!"

But every once in awile he relizes it and test me, He will ask me.. " What did i just say mom?" And nine out of ten time I can repeat back almost word for word what he said. And if my son was saying a key word like say.. fire or theres a cop at the door something critical like that I would zone in on it. Tom souting out Z names should of caoght Scotts ear.

The Rodeo is going on here. Clint Black is one of the entertainers. Here is a portion of an interview with him in today's paper Q: Trace Adkins had reservations about doing the Celebrity Apprentice. Was it an easy sell for you? A: What I was thinking about was the challenges, the tasks and how exciting it would be to be given one of our country’s great bands and some graphic design crew to create a layout, a spot. That really interested me. I pretty well agreed to it on the spot. Q: Was it the experience you imagined it would be? A: I knew it was going to be difficult. But I didn’t realize exactly what I was getting myself into. I did manage to have some fun and enjoyed some of the challenges. I remember calling home and telling Lisa, “I don’t belong here.” They went after me on this last episode. They used some edits that made it look like I was arguing with everyone. The intense unkindness that these people displayed — even when it wasn’t directed at me — was hard to be around. But I know they’ve got to have drama. Q: Would you ever do another reality show? A: I would never do any reality show ever again. No way. I actually thought my own physical safety was about to be in question at one point. But also, by the time I was finished, the sleep debt was off the charts. I may eat those words one day if someone comes up with the right thing. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/features/6305774.html

I guess his tune would be different if he had won the Celebrity Apprentice.

Clint Black has always reminded me of Roy Rogers (I'm old too!). I always liked him . . . until this show. He seemed mean and disrespectful. I actually felt bad for Tom. They decided to write him off as useless early in the task, so he was just acting out of frustration at being marginalized for the entire day. Then Hershel called him a liar and told him repeatedly to just "shet up" (inexcusable!). I laughed when he interrupted Scott's one-on-one. By that time Scott was seeming so insufferably smug to me. Everytime Tom would open his mouth, Scott would just roll his eyes. I liked Scott a whole lot better when he was that cute skater boy (told ya I'm old). I'm glad he got the boot.

Everytime Tom would open his mouth, Scott would just roll his eyes. I finally got caught up with this show last night. This is how I saw it, too. I thought they dismissed Tom far too many times. I think his personality can be abrasive and therefore, they don't listen to him, shut him out. He did have some good thoughts and ideas but no one heard them. And, he tried to fight for a different name. I guess his approach turns many people off. I kind of like him, but can see where he would irritate someone. I was disappointed to see how Scott Hamilton handled things and also disappointed in Clint Black. I'm liking Joan Rivers more than I thought I would. She's got a lot of energy for a woman her age. Melissa--not sure what I think of her. There seems to be something between the two of them, like a big wall. Did they have a falling out?

I found it interesting how Joan called Clint a "snake". She's met and interviewed how many people in showbiz and she does not have a good reaction to him. That's saying something. I never cared for Scott on the ice or off as I always felt it was manipulated for him to win. I was hoping this show might change my mind. It hasn't, lol. Too many of them are sitting back and just going along for the ride - Rodman being one of them. To hear him criticize anyone else is annoying for that reason not to mention that you need an interpreter to understand him. Tom is an abstract thinker which is good for being a comedian but if you want to make it in business, you have to learn how to communicate with others and compromise. Right now, he's on as much of a power trip as anyone else. They already had the "Z" name with Zappos. Too bad he didn't focus more on a slogan using the letter Z instead.

There seems to be something between the two of them, like a big wall. Did they have a falling out? Smokey, I think most of it is just mother/daughter issues, but they did have a falling out several years ago. Joan's husband Edgar (Melissa's dad) committed suicide and Melissa blamed her mom for a long time. They didn't speak for months. There was a TV movie about it several years back (starring Joan and Melissa as themselves, of course). It was a very sad situation. Melissa was young and took her anger out on her mom. I am liking Joan more than I thought I would, too. She seems to have a good business head on her shoulders and isn't trying to be the "star" of the show. She seems to work pretty well with the others. I didn't blame her for being upset that they didn't include her in the script-writing, cause she is a writer after all. She's written several books, in addition to her plays.

Just what they showed on tv, tom had a zorro type pitch which obviously would have had the Z in it and he was at the cpu going over all sorts of Z related names they could use and was ignored. I watched this again last night and am solidly in toms corner over scott. Tom being a comedian, I think after a point of constant rejection of his ideas started use his humor to mock scott/situation out of total frustration. I don't see any tension between the joan and melissa, but melissa should be very grateful to her mom for her tv career!

I just finished watching this episode, and I'm not sure Tom was just flat out dismissed. It did appear like people were trying to get him to focus at the beginning, but he just was out of control. An example of that? When he was in a confessional in the hallway, and he repeated everything at least four times. Loudly. He had a good idea here and there, but so many bad ideas mixed in that I can see how they just tuned him out. He was a distraction and would've been for me, too. I'm so not liking Melissa. I absolutely hate that she was taking credit for other people's ideas. Glad that Trump was told her actually came up with the idea for Mizz Z. BTW, upthread somewhere people were commenting on Tony and how he seemed not happy. He's got a very dry sense of humor. Personally, I thought he handled things well when he met with each team. You could just see him getting frustrated though. With the girls, who kept asking him personal questions (again and again he said to focus on the customer). With the boys, you could see he totally wasn't getting some of the stuff being said, like Tom's comments about humor. I thought Scott deserved to go home because of the EEE thing. But Tom doesn't seem to understand business and I bet he's next to go.

P.S. Turns out Annie Duke is the daughter of a local mini-celeb. She apparently studied every person on the Apprentices to see who did well and who won and what they did. She apparently missed the "don't be rude and abrasive" note from all seasons except for when Piers won.
