I don't really care who won. I feel that the conversation in the board room was a bad example of behavior on TV. I am not only talking about Joan's words, but the way that she was allowed to attack and no response was allowed. Yes people call each other names all the time, but at some point there has to be a balance. I don't care who is good and who is bad, why not allow people to respond to attacks? That is the part that I don't get. Celebrities need to learn the cameras areon all the time as well. We don't know them or why they lose their tempers, but only see edited parts. If trump thought he was edited to look fair, the man needs a brain transplant. I did not watch much of this show, just tuned in here and there for a few minutes, Apprentice never seemed to have any sense of fairness ever, but also seeme3d to miss a lot of common sense, so results became too mystifying to me to follow.

that party planner was way out of his league and he knew it. He quit so he wouldn't be further embarrassed on tv. I liked Joan, didnt like some of her comments but loved her passion for her charity. I really liked her charity. Glad she won it! I also like Anne, yes, she has some faults but I like how hard she works. I thought DT was beyond rude to Jesse when he was trying to explain why he said what he did to Dennis. DT basically stood up for Dennis.

My faith in Donald's ability to see a viper, no matter how artfully it tries to disguise itself, is renewed! Yea, Joan! You weren't perfect, and you didn't disguise your comments as well as Annie, but your commitment to your charity is admirable. And, Annie? <76> You never stood, and congratulated Joan...but you still sucked up to Donald and Company, before you stalked away...nearly knocking over the 75 year old. A true sportsman would now quit whining, and move on. An excellent finish, to an interesting season.

I think that DT was conflicted and could have easily gone either way, and ultimately went with majority opinion (of the folks he asked who should win) Joan's authentic passion for her charity, and compassion for the people helped by it, was moving.

I'm so glad I stopped watching this train wreck a couple of weeks ago. Joan Rivers WON? Are you kidding me??? Joan was so nasty and personal with everyone. That would never be allowed in a real office. How many tasks did Joan miss? I read somewhere that she missed three days! And every other time anyone on this show has even hinted at quitting, they were out the door so fast it was shocking. Joan not only threatened to quit if Melissa was fired, she DID quit. She said, "I'm done. I'm not coming back." Why didn't DT fire her for that? He was either terrified of Joan or they had a deal before the show even started that she would win. No way did Joan Rivers deserve to win. I'm disgusted and will not watch this joke of a show ever again. I'm done with Donald Trump.

Annie's "passion" for her charity was totally non-existant. She couldn't have worked up a tear to save her soul, and I think she was trying to. Maybe Trump has known Joan for so long and knows that she truly is involved with her charity and wanted to be sure they got the winnings. Personally, I could care less about how or why it turned out the way that it did. I enjoyed being entertained. Yup, even with Melissa's fit, Joan's Hitler talk, and Annie's behind the back stuff. It's entertainment, no more, no less. I highly doubt Trump gives a rats ass whether anyone will watch any more or not. He's worth so much money that he doesn't need this show. I think that all along, the show was just to get his face time...and I don't care.

Well I guess I don't have to watch for I don't think Joan should win..<76> I've lost all respect for her and her bratty daughter. I guess it was clear Joan would win since she's getting her own show created by Mike Barnett as well.

I always had the feeling that Trump does not like Jesse. He called him a stud (not that that's a bad thing, just weird). Come on. LOL He always seemed like he was trying to figure out just what the heck Sandra Bullock sees in him. I was really surprised Joan won. That's who I wanted to win, but really thought Trump favored Annie for most of the season. Plus, Annie was really strategic where Joan was emotional. I do think Joan did some really great things during the season, to help her team. She seemed to always know when to jump in and do something and just how to do it. I was thinking of that auction, where Clint was really messing up big time. She got in there with her comedy and saved it. I agree with what Tom Green said about someone working for Annie. I would not last working for her. I prefer someone screaming in my face (Joan) to someone scheming behind my back or taking credit for everything. I like my conflict in my face where I can see it and deal with it, not behind my back. I do feel it was fixed to end this way. It just felt like that to me.

I disagree that the Trumpster doesn't give a rat's ass who watches. He is not an idiot, of course he cares. Trump likes exactly what we do here, he wants people to talk, to argue over it, he loves to rile the troops up. What he would really hate is if people truly stopped watching and more importantly stopped talking about it. I forgot the one thing that surprised me last night was his so so apology to Clint. And I loved Clint's dig at the editors, I think that says it all about what we really didn't see.

Loved Clint's remark re the editors, also! I think DT was extremely rude to Jesse - not only last night, but in earlier shows. He really cannot understand why Jesse would not use his wife's fame and forture for Donald's show. We didn't hear the whole story, but I got the impression that Jesse came to the show with a goal in mind which, in the end, did not mesh with Donald's intentions. He said something to the effect of wanting to show that a normal blue-collar guy could manage in the corporate world. Donald kept telling him that he is NOT a normal guy, because of who he married. I don't agree with DT's take on that. Now, I would agree that Jesse didn't put out a winning effort - not because of how much $$ he didn't coerce from his wife's fellow actors, but because he didn't step up to the place as project manager and really pursue the victory. But he was a good team player and a refreshing touch of normal in that den of craziness!

I just finished reading everyone's posts (since I refused to watch this show), and Babyjax said everything I was gonna say: quote:I'm so glad I stopped watching this train wreck a couple of weeks ago. Joan Rivers WON? Are you kidding me??? Joan was so nasty and personal with everyone. That would never be allowed in a real office. How many tasks did Joan miss? I read somewhere that she missed three days! And every other time anyone on this show has even hinted at quitting, they were out the door so fast it was shocking.

I would like to add, however, that I find it interesting that so many of you now really don't like Joan. I don't know if the final straw was watching her on The Ellen Show or what, but that is one <76> woman who is NOT as funny as she thinks. (And if the audience was encouraging her last night, these are the same peeps who laughed at her on Ellen's show and I now I have a lot less respect for the "studio audiences"). ETA: I will never again watch anything that Trump, Joan, or Melissa is on. I will boycott anything that is associated with either of the two of them. I will not condone the behaviors of any of these people, nor will I condone the public rudeness these people portray.

Also, listening to the radio this a.m., the way Trump allowed Joan to talk to Annie last night during the BR and the live show left a very bad taste in a lot of peoples' mouths (and I pretty much heard the same thing from my co-workers).

I don't watch anything with Joan and Melissa Rivers. I quit watching the Red Carpet shows years ago because I couldn't stand them. I was forced to watch them on CA (by default) because they were on this show (not that I didn't wish every week they would be eliminated). However, I will tell you that last night's episode left such a bad taste in my mouth, I may not watch CA ever again. It was absolutely horrible and brutal. And I'm really pissed that Annie raised about $750,000 for her charity and it didn't even get mentioned ($450,000 which came during final challenge).

They showed the clip of Annie meeting with her charity person (where she tried in vain to squeeze out even a single tear but couldn't), and he announced that she'd raised nearly a million dollars for them. You must have been out at the refrigerator or in the potty when he did that, 'cause he did.

Hukd, I was talking about how DT barely acknowledged how much Annie raised for her charity. Last year, DT was slobbering all over Piers Morgan about how much he raised.

Just because Annie didn't cry doesn't mean she doesn't care. Some people are very careful with their emotions.

I think the best line of the night was "his ego is so big, if he went to a bar he'd pick up himself" Not saying i agree with it, but thought that was so funny. I never paid much attention to Joan, wasnt sure i wanted her to win..until it was between her and Annie... then it was Joan all the way! Annie is a poker player, not that it is bad... but she doesnt leave the game at the table.. seems she will do and say whatever to get what she wants. Yes it is a game, yes it is for a good cause.. but really? is there not a line that has to be drawn? but in truth, i do not know her, do not know if this is how she is personally... just if i was working with her, i would have walked.. long ago. Joan, yes she was evil in what she said and to me the ONLY difference was she didnt hide it, at all. I liked her reaction to her charity, i liked her charity and it needed more money.

I think that I especially liked her charity because it was helping Americans. I'm all for helping those at home before helping other countries. Angelina Jolie is slammed all over the place for not adopting American babies!

I loved the part where they showed Annie over and over and over and over again (and again) on the phone blasting Joan Rivers. Now Annie had no idea what transpired. The name Annie should have been ripping on should have been the company who dumped her for no reason. Doesn't even matter if Joan was the biggest jerk to the guy/company. The company (or owner) was the biggest jerk in this situation. Also loved the part where they showed Annie barking "I need/I want..." over and over and over again!! So nasty!!

I thought that was a terrible point for Joan to bring up since that's definitely not in the spirit of "charity". I'm glad many Americans don't share that opinion and are still willing to help out other countries even though there are still many people suffering in America.
