Well Annie knows her kids better than us, perhaps they're tough enough to handle it...who knows?? I certainly don't!

Maybe she even talks like that around her kids. Who knows, since she didn't have a problem saying it on national TV. She's crude enough it wouldn't surprise me.

Maybe all her kids friends now her and that she's got that kind of personality, so teasing them is a non subject. Again, who knows. I don't!

Karuuna, I think they bleeped "Hand" as well... My Daughter could handle it...she has been with me along time and she would just laugh and say... "gawd mom, tooooo much information"...and then we would laugh about it... I think they hear alot more at school then a tv show could ever show.... and as stated above...its on after 9pm....little ones should be getting their snooze on for school....

My 15 year old has heard more too; in fact, we were talking about a friend of hers who gave a hand job to a boy a couple of weeks ago. I know she would say 'oh gross mom' if we were talking about my personal experience between the two of us, but she would be mortified to hear me talk about it on tv.

I don't see how people are so offended that children may be affected by what Annie said when every time I turn on the TV they are advertising some K-Y Jelly product to make sex better and the new brand that is great for a woman's pleasure center. Annie made one comment, the commercials air constantly! As far as her children, that's on her and Celebrity Apprentice because they decided it was worth airing. When Annie was on the phone with "the poor guy", if it was Phil Hellmuth then many have obviously never seen him in action. He would never be a victim and he makes Annie look mild in comparison. To me Joan is totally out of control (and I enjoy her when she's not). When she started with Clint I was embarrassed for her and now she has found a new target. Annie can't make nice like Clint because they are not on the same team. Annie did however brag on how well Melissa did in the challenge. All in all, it's just a show that due to all of the drama I am enjoying watching. I hope Jesse wins in the end! I can't wait for the next episode when "Rivers Delivers"!

Annie might be very rich, but she is impoverished in the moral department. I totally agree with Joan when she called Annie despicable and like Hitler. She doesn't convince people of her point of view, she browbeats them into it. I think people give in to Annie just to shut her up. There is something missing in Annie's brain in that she honestly cannot see things from another's point of view and does think the world revolves around her. She might not even realize that she trashes someone one day and turns around and acts like their best friend the next. It is probably what makes her a good poker player, but a horrible excuse for a human being.

Joan does the same as Annie. The Hitler comment was over the top and made Joan look foolish as it's just a game. Is Annie classy, no way, but a horrible excuse for a human being might be a bit extreme. I feel Annie is very bossy. It could just be a case of two alpha females clashing. We don't get to see much of that.

Annie, I have that type of relationship with my son. I think it's best, he isnt afraid to come ask me about anything and I am happy for that. He also tells me things he sees and hears at school about other kids, some things shock me. I am just happy that he feels comfortable talking to me about things. I feel the reason is because I never shielding him from hearing words like BJ or handjob as he matured. Better to hear from us parents that kids in the street and trust me if your kids over 12 or 13 havent talked to you about sex, they have heard about it at school. It amazes me the things the 7th graders know. I also think I heard Annie say at start that she had prewarned her pals that she would be hitting them up during the course of the show, I believe most of that was an act, her pals and she knew how high they would go.

Dipo, my son-in-law and I were watching tv at my house alone waiting for my daughter when one of those commercials came on. We are both adults and I knew before looking at him that his face would be beet red and it was! I just laughed and then he relaxed and laughed, but you're right TMI! Chewpito I don't know if your area gets that smiling guy named Bob (I think) but I would love to smack his smiling face (the character, not the man) right off my tv. I'm so tired of his smiling face. They should show his face when the drug has worn off or lasted more than four hours!

I don't think I've posted this much regarding one show...but here I go again ;). About browbeating. Really, these folks Melissa, Jesse, Joan, Clint they are the type to give in to brow beating??? Unlikely. I think it's despicable to use Hitler's atrocities and equate them with Annie being proud of giving a good BJ, cooking fast and raising kids...or to have the gal to agree with the statement is, oh I don't know revolting. My goodness gracious, how demeaning is that to the survivors and to those who lost their lives in the ovens....truly a despicable thing to say or agree with. Seeing the Birkenau Death Camp (Poland) in 2008 I assure you the stories are true. So in the scheme of things, referencing a sexual (bleeped) act and elevating Hitler to Annie's stance in life...well really the shame is to grand. I know I know people are still adverse to sexual comments especially coming from a woman.

Curly, I agree with almost all of what you said. Joan and Melissa are Jewish, I know Joan has worked on charities and functions connected to the Holocaust, and I agree, I'm sure she was referring to the duplicity of Hitler, especially in his dealings with Chamberlain, versus his attempted liqudation of the entire Jewish race. I guess when someone displays very undesirable traits, the first name that always pops up is Hitler. I think people going crazy over it is ridiculous. Joan probably overreacted, but I don't think Joan suffers fools, or duplicity easily, especially when it comes to her daughter. Hitler was a monster, he's dead, thank God, let's get on with it and just insure that nothing like that nightmare ever happens again. I don't believe NBC,CBS and ABC should be showing R rated material between 8 and 10 or 11. My goodness, there are certainly enough cable channels, videos, movies, internet, etc. where you can get your profanity fix, we don't need to see it all of the time. People are asking " What has happened to America", I really don't think it's much of mystery.

so, the producers are worse for showing it than she is for saying it? that sounds like the rationalization my teenager would try to use! LOL So, who said the producers were worse? Is that a teenager interpretation? LOL

Pamy, your son wants to hear about your sexual prowess??? My daughter and I have a very open relationship and like I said, she felt very comfortable talking to me about her friend's sexual escapade, but we are not that open and close as to discuss her father and mine's sex life. We definitely have a different definition of open relationship! LOL

"I'm sure she was referring to the duplicity of Hitler, especially in his dealings with Chamberlain," This is just what I meant too. Also,Hitler gave orders that most others were against, but they had better do exactly what he wanted, or they were out - as in dead. Annie is a dictator who changes her entire persona depending on who she is trying to browbeat. The other contestants may not give in to her, or may give in just to shut her up, but the way she talks to others on the phone and in person, leaves no way for them to not do exactly as she wants. I have never disliked a reality contestant as much as I dislike Annie.... not even Boston Rob.

oh gawd no! is that what you took out of my post? LOL I just meant that if he heard Annie say it on tv it wouldnt be a big deal. My son knows I am wild and if he did hear me say what Annie said and in the context of joking, like I think Annie was, then he would just shake his head and smile. Kinda like Bill does when I say something like that. LOL whatev, I think this show is totally scripted this season anyway

I've been a regular Schwan's customer for several years. I ordered what they are calling the Apprentice Bundle which included the chicken dish, the meatball dish and a revised version of the dessert dish. I really liked the chicken with almond green beans and sweet potatoes. Thumbs down on the meatballs. They were extremely tough. Neutral on the apple/blueberry crisp dessert. It was tasty but contained too much liquid. Schwan's tends to be a bit pricey and I found both entrees were overpriced. Just thought I'd bump this thread up and give my product review, FWIW.

I didn't realize Hershel owned two food companies, both of which feature chicken prominently. Yet he doesn't eat chicken. How strange. This challenge should've been right up his alley. http://www.herschelsfamous34.com

wow, I can't beleive everyone is talking about the BJ comment. I am still laughing over Donald saying Jesse must be good in bed - and that is why Sandra bullock is married to him. That was hilarious
