Which is precisely why the entire thing is a total joke.

Yes, Donald changes the rules to suit him all the time. I think afte Peirce pointed out that Joan won 3 of the 5 criteria he would have looked a fool making Annie the winner. But that never stops Trump. I think he looked a fool when he overlooked the Miss CA contract about nude photos and let her stay on because she's "beautiful". I wonder if his chauvanism embarasses his daughter at all.

For anyone who's been in the food service industry, you know how hard that industry is. Chefs are tough and they are used to working with and for huge jack-asses. Chef Tutera is a consummate professional who has built a reputation and business on his hard work and skill. If he says that Joan Rivers was a monster, I absolutely believe him. She thinks she can bash and abuse someone into giving in and doing what she wants. Many people give in rather than deal with the aftermath of clashing with her. He's big enough in the industry that he doesn't need to worry about her hurting him. Chef Tutera isn't going to be hurt by Joan Rivers in Hollywood. Many people have been abused by her on the red carpet, and they probably enjoyed him quitting.

Trump changes the rules all the time. This season probably more than others. And I'm fairly positive he knew ahead of time what Trace and Piers were going to say ..or maybe he handed them a note and told them what to say, LOL.. wouldn't surprise me at all. He also knew exactly what "celebrities" to ask who should win... Why did Joan & Melissa get fired from the red carpet? I never watched them but thought they were "Big" in that area...

Yeah, where did you get the idea he was a chef and what show were you watching, Gemma? Like Joan said on the phone with the ladies from The View, listen to her phone call with him. He didn't like her remark, "Lounge Chairs?" No doubt he's had worse said to him from his customers in the past.

Do you really think we saw and heard everything between Joan & David Tutera on the show?

I don't think they exactly edited Joan to look good, so why not show more of the fight if there was one?

Well they can't really edit the boardrooms where she was her most vile (since everyone there is a witness), but I'd be betting there was a lot more to that event planner quitting then we were shown. At that point Trump surely would have wanted her to look a bit better since she was the winner.. JMHO..

Or they didn't want to risk a law suit by showing him to be unreasonably picky?

Jesse James was on Regis and Kelly this morning. Regis asked him about being on the Apprentice and said that Trump had a hard time reading him. Jesse replied "I think to him I am like the janitor or the guy who shines his shoes. If I wore loafers with no socks and carried a man purse, he would think hey, this guy is successful!' Regis' eyes about bugged out and said 'of course you are kidding'!! LOL

If I hire a party planner I would like them to give me my vision. That guy seemed like he did not listen and just pushed his ideas. And bailing on Annie seemed unprofessional. Party planner guy....YOURE FIRED!!!!

Jesse James is successful in his own right. He didn't have the head start that Trump had with his daddy's money. I think Trump is intimidated by a self made man who doesn't even use his wife to get ahead. Trump knows he couldn't do that so had to "look down" on Jesse.

Little people call for FCC to ban 'midget' Associated Press NEW YORK — Little people are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to ban the use of the word "midget" on broadcast TV. The group Little People of America said Sunday the word is just as offensive as racial slurs. The request was prompted by an April episode of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" that the group said was demeaning. In the episode, contestants created a detergent ad called "Jesse James and the Midgets." The contestants, including Joan Rivers, suggested bathing little people in the detergent and hanging them to dry. Calls to the FCC and "Celebrity Apprentice" host Donald Trump were not immediately answered Sunday. NBC Universal representatives didn't immediately respond to e-mail messages, and the telephone rang unanswered at their Los Angeles office.

Several offensive words are used regularly by people who don't know it's a slur of some kind like the word Eskimo which is equivalent to the "N" word to the Inuit people.

And speaking of the Apprentice, Trump said at the ACN convention I just attended that he wanted so bad to fire Melissa but had to fire Claudia instead because Joan threatened to walk if her daughter was fired during that episode. I was impressed with Trump as he came across to me as a real down to earth kinda guy.

Believe it or not we are still watching this. Yes I know when we get behind we get behind! Anyway we just finished the second to last episode. Contrary to what many people posted, I like Annie. I think she is an incredibly determined and focussed person, she has a good sense of humor and she doesn't quit. Annie and Brandi were so funny when Brande kept trying to sing that jingle in the car. Joan sure hasn't come across very well to me at all. I was looking at NBC's discussion board and something like 88% of the people voting thought that Annie won. And from what I understand, I think she won as well.

Won't start a new thread myself. Looks like there is going to be another Celebrity Apprentice. Trump has chosen impeached Illinois governor Blago as one of his minions.

Mr Trump promised us at the Charlotte ACN Convention that ACN and the Iris 3000 video phone will appear again in the next one.

I didn't think Blago was allowed to leave Illinois which is why Patti did I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
