For BB fans.......... David reminds me so much of Robert from the "X's" season. Brash, over bearing, wonder when we will see him picking his nose.

I think the arguing is what did in the women.

The two who stayed are incredibly annoying indeed and I wold say that Mahsa will never be part of Trump.. Ivanka would see to that!

I think the men were thinking ahead to when Donald starts switching team members.. scary.

About the bad ratings Happymom mentioned above....


I remember one time in the past, Apprentice was having a little span of not so great ratings. Even though it was in a slump, Trump was still on all the news shows saying how his show was #1. I was wondering how he could lie so blatantly when anybody could just go look it up and call him on it.

Then one show did call him on it, and he explained that he was #1 in the men's 18 to 32 demographic (or something close to that, I can't remember the exact age span), and he said that's the demographic they are trying to appeal to. So I guess you can be #1 if leave most of the actual tv watchers out of your count...LOL

I'm sorry the ratings are bad. I think it's a pretty entertaining show.

It is entertaining, Jimmer. I didn't used to think so, but it has grown on me because of the celebrity editions. I never watched the real version before. But as entertaining as this show is, I still find Trump, the person, to be a <insert all the words we aren't allowed to use here>.

Oh I agree that Trump is something else! Still love the show though.

Some of the early seasons were LOL funny. I think probably the fourth season there were these guys who were absolutely the epitome of what you would think businessmen look and act like - yet they kept finding different ways to lose. One time the guy they hired to deliver walls (I think it was walls) for a display didn't show up with the walls. They were finished their presentation when he arrived and asked them where they wanted him to put the walls.

Naja, it's funny that you say that. DD and I were talking about the recent bad ratings and laughing and saying that Trump will still probably say that his show is the #1 show! lol!

Re: things like walls not showing up...I always wonder when things like that go wrong if Trump et al stalls them to see how the apprentices will handle problems. (Plus it makes for more dramatic tv.)

I can't believe the ratings are low. I love this show, not as much as TAR or Survivor, but it's up there...definitely more than Antique Roadshow which I seldom miss on Monday nights.

I am disappointed that the ratings are low. I much prefer regular Apprentice over Celebrity Apprentice. But, trust me, I'll watch both!!!! Love this show.

I like the decision to use contestants that are down and out due to the current economic times. It should make them hungry and ready to compete.

Personally I like Mahsa - she's gutsy and not going to take anything off anyone. Mirror image of me I guess..........

That's why I owne my own business....

Jarreau, I too like Mahsa. I thought she was forthright and accurate in her assessment of Nicole. And glad that she's not afraid to speak up. I rather deal with people who speak up and are articulate than those who just blend in so as not to call attention to themselves.

While Mahsa may have been accurate in her assessment of Nicole, her delivery of said assessment was horrid. She was worst than a bulldog defending a bone. And she started out like that, without even knowing if they'd won or lost. I think I lost all respect for her there.

I had to agree with Trump... both offices were awful. I did like the guys' better, but only marginally.

I'm not a fan of confrontation just for the sake of confrontation. David has a major chip on his shoulder and if it doesn't slide off soon, I hope he's out of there. Ditto with Mahsa.

I'll probably only watch this show when it's rerunning during the week, if they continue to do so. That said, I like the premise of this season better. And I absolutely hate the celebrity edition (quit watching midway thru Joan Rivers' season and haven't watched since).

Love this version 100% more than the celeb version.

I do not at all get the office design challenge. Isn't that supposed to be a show on HGTV. Designing Spaces or something like that?

Beyond that, OMG. Mahsa is, well, I can't even think of words. All I know is I look forward to the day that she gets hers. I know that no way will she be the next apprentice.

Nicole was stupid to, number one, volunteer to be PM on the first task (before she could get a decent read on the group) and number two, not say that she was being ganged up on (pagonged) once one person started throwing her under the bus.

And for the most part, I could not stand David. No wonder his wife left him. Don't think it had all that much to do with $$. He is a control freak and has to have the last word. Always. Stunned me when he was fighting with Gene and told him not to walk away, etc.. (also stunned me when he was fighting with Clint).

But then, when they showed him calling unemployment. My God. Heartbreaking. When he said he felt like a loser, I really felt for him. It was like watching my husband. He calls unemployment every other week as well. He also feels like a huge loser.

Happymom, thanks so much for that link. Her second paragraph says it all to me:

This season of The Apprentice is an important one, as it truly highlights what many people are currently going through in their daily lives – the search for employment in very difficult times. I think that it will resonate with many of you. We met a large number of truly exceptional people with fantastic educations, brilliant career promise, and incomparable resolve. I have a feeling that this season will hit home like no other.

I don't know how great it is when we can watch and see why those people were the ones let go from their previous positions. While Mahsa was correct, her delivery was completely unprofessional and she didn't seem to know how to back down. It is definitely more fun to watch the non-celebrities again though.

I like this show better, too. I didn't watch it for a while, but it has grown on me.

I'm rooting for Gene. There's something sincere about him. I like how he took control the second day and pulled it all together.

Yeah, Jen. I can totally see why both Mahsa and David are unemployed. A little humility and the ability to play as a team goes a long way. Especially if you want to be employed and stay employed!

And FWIW, the bit about David calling in for his unemployment benefits was a total turn off to me. I know it's the editors that let that air, but I'm just not gonna join his pity party (woe is me, I lost my job, I lost my wife, I have ninety eleven kids to support). Maybe his crappy attitude had something to do with the first two things, ya think?

Well, despite the fact that I totally believe that David has a crappy attitude and all, the bit about the unemployment call ripped at my heart. Not for him specifically as I think he is a jerk, but for the thousands, like my husband, who have been out of work for a long time. Actually my dh works his ass off, but with a ton of freelance jobs that don't pay the bills.

What's sad about this season's show is that most of the contestants are truly desperate for the job. In other non-celebrity seasons the contestants all had jobs and prospects.

Yup Puzzled. Gotta hand it to Trump. He actually has a good hook with the "unemployed due to the recession". And I was impressed with both the prize for the winning PM (a meeting with some biz peeps) and the consolation prize for Nicole (a meeting with the pageant folks). So while I can't stand Trump, he gets props for trying to help people out.

I really don't care who gets fired when the winning team is declared, because the Donald has no real estabished criteria to do so. I think ratings has a lot to do with his decision and the more controversial the candidates, the longer he keeps them in the show. Whatever...

Last night, Trump seemed very aprubt and curt with the teams. I dont think he would personally hire any of them. It was nice to see at the end, that the fired one got a job later and lived happily ever after.....

That was nice to see the happy ending last night. What is up with all of these vicious women?!? I almost want to stop watching because they are just simply mean.
