around here anyone with an idea and $200 can start a homebased company. I'm with Seamonkey, it doesnt really mean much. i admit to fast forwarding thru the show. However as soon as the suspicious event of Models not showing up occurred, I figured that Brandy and the other guy were earmarked for the win. It was like a test by trump to see what would happen. i thot that the Sex Sells pitch would NOT have worked on the executives and Brandy's stuttering intro would have doomed them. I'm puzzled as to how the Boardroom went tho. Poppy and Annand were responsible for the models. Surely one of them could have got a fitted shirt? It seems that They just sat there and Dave took the flack for everything. Did annand even say ANYTHING?? surely he would have Noticed about the shirt? why didnt they quickly pin a dart into the back of the neck so it didnt hang? this was obvious sabatoge and I think DT just wanted Dave gone. In this situation i dont think he truly lost the task, it was because his team refused to work for him. 5pm and NO FOOD for the models? un believeable

Why was there no big deal made about the models not showing up? who was responsible for that?

The, David are you gay? Do you want to come out? and the, Brandy are you having an affair with Stuart, would you like to? moments in the board room were unprofessional and inappropriate questions and made for really uncomfortable, awkward TV viewing

I felt that way too during the discussion of David's interest in the model. I kept wondering when TRumpster was going to get back Business--what the show is supposed to about!

Yes, it was. Very inappropriate. But if DT is the one doing the talking, I guess it is okay.

I don't think Donald has passed a season without some inappropriate remarks..

I found out a little about David's new company. "Where's David Johnson today? Johnson, 34, of Portage, Mich., is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Donald Trump. He founded his own tel-com consulting company called Michigan Ideas Communication or MIdeaCom. and more about David and Poppy While he didn't win 'The Apprentice,' he may be dating her. After the show wrapped four months ago, David began dating contestant Poppy Carlig. After many late-night, long-distance phone calls, the two now live together in San Francisco and David visits his children in Michigan every other weekend. But it all started in last night's boardroom, where David brought Poppy in front of Trump to potentially be fired. "I told her, 'We're going to have to do a little arguing. Don't be nervous because it will likely be me going home,'" he said. "The fact that I did what I said I was going to do gave me credibility. Right away she trusted me. Then we had some fun in NYC. She's 24, I'm 34. But in many ways we're at the same parts of our lives. I was married at 19. We're both figuring out who we are." http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2010/11/05/the-apprentice-david-johnson/ P.S. I still don't really understand what his new company does...LOL

You're welcome, Jimmer The thing that doesn't make sense to me is why would he be living in San Francisco if he just started a new company in Michigan? There is just something about this Poppy and David situation that seems fishy (beside the fact that they seem like the mismatch of the century). Oh well, we'll find out soon enough at the finale.

Naja, maybe he can handle his company long distance and when he visits his kids every two weeks in Michigan?

considering Dave's aggressive tendencies, i can see Poppy the Puppy being a passive sidekick. i dont give it much chance of longterm success. CAUTION -- Dave's Exit interview posted in some sites GIVES away spoilers Including the final TWO. you guys Know how much i love being spoiled....NOT!! so i thot i'd caution anyone who likes to click the final interview links.

Thanks so much for the info, Naja. So he starts a company in MI and moves to SF. Unbelievable. Again, where is Poppy's head. This man has 5 children to support and an erratic personality. I don't understand where she is coming from. Nice to know the boardroom is staged.

I loved how Poppy and Stephanie were in the car talking about every decision that was made and how they were going to be sure Trump gave them credit for each one, not Liza. They were sealing their own fate right then! Karma! I was really impressed with how professional Clint's display looked.

I think it's funny that last night they kept using the words "elegant and sophisticated" to describe how a product by Kim Kardashian should be represented. I watched a couple seasons of her family's show, and those two words really aren't how I think of Kim. While I do think the display with the boas and sparkles was poorly executed and a little tacky, had it been done a little more professional looking and more polished, I thought it matched Kim's image better than the other sleek display.

Im just curious, after getting fired,are the contestants sequestered? If so I guess thats how Poppy and David got together.They were fired one right after the other.

That whole thing with Anand was just weird. There must be a rule that you cannot contact any personal friends or business contacts to help you with a task. I get that as it would give the New Yorkers a home field advantage. But how in the heck did Donald get a hold of the text? Either Anand doesn't pick his closest and bestest very carefully or Donald really does know all... Also, Anand should have fessed up right away... It was clear that Donald knew about the text. Not a great time to lie. I guess it is good that none of his "friends actually showed up because it would have gotten really messy had the men won because of the foul play. I have to mention that I really did not like Ivanka's purple dress that she wore -- or maybe it just didn't fit her right.

Bonbon, Hah! I also noticed Ivanka's dress and did a double take. She usually looks so polished, but that dress was so unflattering and made her look far larger than she is.

How did the Donald know about that text. Is his hotels wired to capture all messages? Or did one of Anand "friends" fink him out? Scary to think that the Donald is intercepting messages, of course that would give him a business advantage at times.

Poor Anand didn't even get a cab ride home. LOL. And even though he's gone now, I'm just now getting around to mentioning who David reminded me of. Folks here talked about his weird mannerisms. To me he reminded me of that guy on The Office. Can't remember the character's name at the moment, but IIRC, he came over to the Scranton branch with Jim (and the woman Jim briefly dated) when the other branch closed down. He's the one who sucks up to Michael by kind of copying him at times, and dated the new receptionist last season. yea, I watch The Office all the time, and I still can't name half the characters. I don't know if that says something about my and my attention span, or the show's ability to keep me paying attention. LOL.
