I think it's interesting in that there seems to be Clint dislike among the celebrities, but we aren't being shown it. Clint stated in that article I posted a while back that this wasn't a good experience. I wonder what has happened that we aren't see or what's going to happen.

Just read the blogs. Thanks for posting those, Curly. It does sound like we are going to see another side of Clint soon. It also sounds like Claudia wasn't a very kind person.

Annie has a great blog. Thank you for posting the link. It's definitely worth bookmarking. I also enjoyed her comments on American Idol (as well as the poker tourneys).

Again tonight Melissa chose the Project Manager. She had Annie backing her up. I think she knows last Project Manager wins the prize, the way Donald is firing the PM's this year. I wish these gals would get a backbone and say, "Hey, why don't you do it?" She picked Tionne and says, "We'll back you up." Right ...look how well that worked last week. It's like she's picking the weaker (quieter; less agressive) ones so they'll blow it and go home. She's ruining the show for me because she and her mother are running things. It seems uneven. These ladies don't stand a chance against this mother/daughter duo. Curlyq stated: Melissa said in her blog post that she was hoping Dennis would beat up Clint. That's not very nice, is it? And yet she calls Claudia the bully. Wow! That's horrible. I also don't think people should make fun of others, but I realized Claudia was furious with Melissa because Melissa kept interrupting her and taking over everything. Women do comment on people who've had botox and if her face doesn't move, then maybe she has. Isn't she a little young for it, or do people start very young these days? Also from Melissa's blog. Thanks for posting the link Curlyq. As for Claudia, the reality is that she’s nothing more than a beauty bully. Once I realized that Claudia was on the attack for me, I figured out how to handle the situation. And that’s by not reacting to her. Which is the only way to treat a bully. Her calling anyone else a bully is a bit much. She figured out how to handle the situation all right. She said something to her mother like, "Mom, do something."

I didn't see Melissa that way at all. She was very much in the background tonight. I thought Tionne did a great job. All the girls did really (well not too sure about Chloe--bet she goes soon.) BTW, Claudia WAS a totally bully and a rotten person for making such fun of Melissa's looks and calling her "a 'b' word." I do feel for Dennis. I hope he gets the help he needs. I enjoyed the show a lot tonight. It was quite different in that they did not have much boardroom time and about 90 minutes of task time. It is good to see how they really work. I think all but Dennis (can't quite judge Chloe as she was not there long enough) worked their butts off. It was time for Dennis to go.

Yep, one of the best shows they had and will probably watch it again. I have a feeling Trump had Dennis on to show him what he was doing to himself.

I really hope Dennis will get some help to get sober. He's a much nicer guy when he's sober.

Tonight was sad. Everyone in that board room realized how sick Dennis was when it came to alochol, except Dennis. I think Dennis is trying to relive his glory days as a championship basketball player. I was particularly moved by Jesse James' words. While the men were irritated by Dennis on this task, I think every single one of them were very supportive when talking to him about it.

It was a really fun show until the boardroom. That was just plain uncomfortable. I wish they'd have edited out a lot of the stuff.

last week I agreed with Dennis, they didnt sell the product, they basically gave a concert and like Dennis said it was a vanity thing for Brian. Why not have Clint sing too? I really dont care for Brian at this point. I also thought it was crappy the way Brian treated him when he said he could get the stuff that was over 3000.00.

Haven't seen tonight's show yet, but last week they were not supposed to be trying to sell the product. Everybody in the audience was an ANP rep, and already sort of knew the product. It was a "product launch" affair. They were supposed to get the audience all hyped up and emotional. I think the audience standing, applauding and shouting ANP at the end proved the men did that very well. I think the women just did not know what a product launch was, and I would not have known either. I think maybe it was Jesse and perhaps Brian who actually knew what a product launch was supposed to be - a reallllly good, company-paid, show for the company reps. Spelll, correct me if I am wrong, and you have actually attended a product launch.

That is one of the hardest things I have ever watched. I was excited that Dennis was going to be on the show. Time and again he has been a zany public personality. But what I have been watching on the Apprentice is in my opinion a personality disorder self medicating. I would even venture to say bipolar. And he is such an overwhelming character I don't see him getting help unless he himself realizes the need. And too often that doesn't happen without really bad stuff mounting up. I don't usually care about celebrities or say I am going to pray for someone, but for some reason Dennis touches me and I am going to pray he gets help and soon. Maybe Uncle Donald will have just the right influence to push the issue.

Yes, the men did it right. ACN is all about hype and on your feet emotion and cheering... sorta evangelistic. When I go to the convention in Charlotte at the end of June it will be pumping music and party, party. It's a very emotional draining event. ACN is like one big happy family. The contestants needed to excite the crowd and they did just that.

Rats! I really wanted to see this and my DVR flashed that there wasn't room.. which didn't make sense, so I rebooted which usually fixes that and it recorded.. except it won't let me WATCH the recording. OK. so, I saw last week, but what did they do this week?? Did Dennis go home? I did see a brief flash of the show and saw that Dennis was in charge for the men.

OK, went and saw some clips of Dennis and of the women cleaning rooms, but still no idea who won/went home. Guess full ep will be up at NBC later on.

I never saw Dennis as zany. He was a really difficult person the whole time he lived here in OC, both as a homeowner and as a business owner.

Hotel challenge. 5 rooms each. Had to clean rooms get ready for guests for luxury hotel. They did all service, check in, concierge, room service, cleaning...Dennis was PM, started out sorta Ok (BTW Dennis it rarely takes 3 people to go get a box of cookies) began drinking as the day went on, lost control of self and team. Left team by joining some of the guest when they went to dinner (much to their surprise) when he finally came back had a hissy fit, walked out. Women did fairly well. Tionne PM, she did a good job and team spoke well of her as PM. Near as I could tell Melissa just complained about cleaning and then stood around. Women won as guests gave them a score of 91 vs 86 for the men. Jesse stated that he believed Dennis had a drinking problem in the boardroom. Others agreed, including the women who were nodding their heads in agreement. Jesse made some very astute comments. Dennis fired with all in the room as DT said no point in anyone leaving to go watch from suite. Hope that helps recap for you Seamonkey, best I can do at 4:30 am pretty tired and off to bed.

Did anyone notice the screencap at the end that said 'if you have a drinking problem or know someone who does' and gave the numbers for AA? When Dennis talked about his basketball years as proof on why he did a good job, I am with Joan..it broke my heart. I am wondering if Khloe's absence had to do with her 'jail' time.

What "jail" time? It did seem like she didn't want to talk about why she was away. Yes, I noticed the screencap for AA. I think that may be a first for The Apprentice. It was a very sad and painful episode.

She was convicted of DWI and sentenced to jail time, but it ended up being something like 4 hours cause of overcrowding.

Juju, thanks for clearing that up. I totally misunderstood. Ok the boys did a good launch. I hope Dennis gets any help he needs. He would have won this task if he hadn't started losing focus from the alcohol. How cool for those men to go have a dinner with Dennis. I loved how they said they never even looked at a menu, food just kept appearing.

Joan is a hard worker. Melissa is kind of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'. If she steps up, she's overbearing and taking over. If she doesn't, she is slacking.

There are ways to "step up" without being overbearing. It's called being assertive, not aggressive. Melissa hasn't learned that distinction.
