Wow. Season 10 of The Apprentice starts at 9:00 eastern tonight! As much as Trump and his cohorts annoy me, this show and contestants have (mostly unintentionally) given me some of the best laughs I've had watching reality TV.

So they are going back to "real" people and not celebrities. Although I enjoyed the celebrity shows much more than I would have thought possible, I'm looking forward to seeing non-celebrities again. It makes for a more serious competition.

I wasn't going to watch if it was 2 hours long, but I see just the premiere is 2 hours and it goes back to one hour the next week.

I read that Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) will be on the show in a couple weeks. They are doing some kind of doggie daycare challenge. I just love that guy. He has helped me so much with my dogs. (btw, I read it in the episode description in my dvr listings).

From other articles I have read, there will be lots of celebrities taking part in the show in one way or another this season, even though they aren't the contestants.

I'll be interested in seeing Cesar Millan. I've read one of his books on dog training. I wonder what the challenge will be.

The problem with these shows is 1 hour is rushed and 2 hours is too long. 1.5 hours would be perfect but then they would have to fill in the half hour.

Thanks for the twitter address for Ivanka.

The contestant named Nicole is unemployed be-
cause she is an attorney and felt miserable at
her job at a law firm. Come on, we are in a re-
cession and you take what you can get. She was
also a runner up in the Miss USA which the
Donald owns. This is for people who need a job,
not for someone that wants a better job to make
her feel happy. You take a pay check where ever
you can get it in this enviroment.

Jag I too was in disbelief when Nicole said that. There are so many people watching that would give anything to have her job or any job. Then she lands this gig, which I'm sure must give them some type of stipend. Hang on Nicole, let me play my violin for you...

I was astonished by that comment as well. It seemed very out of place.

I had to stop watching after about 45 minutes and I'll watch the rest tomorrow night but at the point I stopped it looked like the women were winning.

Well..she is the 1st. one gone and after she left
the Boardroom the Donald said "I'm going to set
her up with an interview with the people at the
Miss Universe pageant". Looks like she may get a
job that makes her happy. Maybe he is going to
give everyone a chance at a job. The PM of the
winning team is getting an interview with some
executive.

Some executive=The Donald. I liked Don Jr's tie at the task description.

Next week they're going to be selling ice cream. Where have I heard that before? The Donald can't come up with original ideas?

As I mentioned I only saw the first 45 minutes. LOL - I'm trying to figure out how the men won this because it wasn't looking good for them.

It's huge if he is going to find them all jobs.

Wow, that David is something. He had such a hairpin trigger... almost schizophrenic. Didn't he remind you of a small child the way he snatched the list of florists away from Clint and then kept holding on to it while taunting him? And his facial expressions- classic. He can twist that face is so many ways. Casting must have loved it when they found him- he'll make for some great story lines.

I loved Gene and Clint. Gene started out so ineffective, but boy, once he took charge, he was great! The men had to bring the soldier out of him. But Clint is my favorite. Just like him... don't know why exactly.

Funny, none of the women made much of an impression on me yet in a good way. I really disliked Tiana and Misha... what bullies. And Tiana acted so childish at times. I suspect I'll start liking some of the women who were more quiet this week, such as Brandy, Kelli and Stephanie.

I did not plan to watch or like it. Surprisingly, I did both! I'll keep watching as long as it holds my interest. I like it better than Celeb. App.

Those women were vicious. It seemed as though even Trump was surprised.

Even the men's team were surprised at the vitriol the women were flinging at each other. It certainly looks like they are knocking the wheels off any chance of getting too far in this game! Why cant the women just get along it reinforces so many sterotypes people still have about women and business.
That guy who was freaking out over the flowers had me wondering about his mental state too. He is way over the top emotionaly and quick to take slight at the way he is talked to. I can see problems with this guy.
But it is good to see real people on the show once again.

Nicole deserved all the wrath, imo. In her confessionals she said she took Tyana to the prop shop so that if Trump didn't like the office space she could blame it on Tyana.

I don't think Nicole tried to win this task she was more concerned with throwing Tyana under the bus.

Masha and Tyana were able to bond over Nicoles horrendous attempt at being PM.

Masha was harsh and tough, yes, but isn't that what Trump wants.

I think that the woman's team can work fine if the PM is actually competent, so I wouldn't count them out yet.

If Nicole's law office behavior was anything like her Apprentice behavior, it's no wonder she wasn't happy. Beware, Donald! You know what Dr. Phil always prattles: "The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior."
Too much judging a book, by it's cover, Donald, as usual.

It was on last night too. I heard the ratings were terrible even though it was up against reruns. I prefer this to Celeb Apprentice. I like that they are all unemployed/struggling.

I think Trump really liked Nicole and really wanted to keep her. Her comment about not settling is something that I could see might appeal to Trump. He wants the best always. If she would have begun the fight for her life early and had been stronger, I think he would have kept her.

I was surprised the guys won. I thought they'd lose because of their dangerous rug and their board room. I thought Trump's personal style matched the women's board room better.

I thought the guy PM was worse than Nicole.

Ivanka says that part of what did Nicole in was her backtalk to Donald. But I don't remember her backtalking to him at all. He seemed most impressed with her respectful demeaner and had commented on it positively.

Could be the backtalk was edited out - they knew viewers' ears had their limit. :-)
