I agree - the women had the claws out! Trump has too much make up on or spray tan, I don't know...lol He was messing around with them a lot - I laughed when some of the contestants were back pedaling.

The best part of the show definitely was the fired guy getting a new gig and he said it was his dream job, so good for him.

There might be a good reason besides the "economy" why all these people men and women lost their jobs...just saying. The more obnoxious go first when the firings begins.

Highly educated people screaming "buy ice cream". Their most original idea, get matching shirts.

If this is the cream of the American crop we are in more trouble than I thought.

I wasnt alive during the depression but i know men in the family had to travel to find work. ANY work would do, no one was 'waiting' for the perfect job to show up. Men would often be in camps/ homeless so they could send every penny back to the wife and kids.

in those days an educated lawyer would happily dig a ditch to send some money home to family.

Watching this season's apprentice kinda bothers me. How entitled are these people? Ya its a dog eat dog world out there in business but do they have to be so frantic and meanspirited?

the Little guy who was sent home seemed emotionally beat down. I'm not sure about the Psych exams done but I sure hope one of these unemployed people dont end their life over how they were portrayed on the show.

I thought one of the attornies mentioned she was selling donuts for a living currently.

Maybe you missed the end where the fella who was sent home gave an update. He got his dream job as a construction manager and was VERY happy!

I had to go take a look at the ratings for this last show....and Holy smokes. Bad isn't a strong enough word for how this show is doing this season.

Scroll down to the graph.

The premier of Private Practice was last night, that might have something to do with it.

Im enjoying this season. I was shocked no one thought of contacting a business to sell cases of the ice cream.

That is what I was thinking Pamy!! Why didn't they do that? (On Naja's chart, I am shocked to see the Office do so poorly)

Thank you Pamy, exactly! You don't have to be an MBA or genius to know that pre=sold cases will get you more profit than selling one bar at a time.

Heck, haven't any of these people watched the previous apprentices??

Maybe another hint as to why they are un/under=employed?

No. NBC has Sunday night football and also The Apprentice so the Apprentice was moved to Thursday's in the late spot.

Wow! Some of these people are demonstrating why they don't have jobs. Who'd want to work with them?

Their unemployment status is becoming clearer with each episode. I haven't figured out who I'd like to root FOR, but I've got a couple I'd like to see fired immediately!

I really cant stand David. He is like a time bomb ready to go off! Felt sorry for James getting all the blame and the boot. But it looks like he landed on his feet.

I really don't understand how those men were able to stand up for David. It was upsetting for me watch how David acts. Maybe they are afraid to lose their technical guy just yet, so they are willing to put up with him to use him for awhile. I'm not kidding, it really got to me that any of those guys would stand up for David.

I hate that David (among others) make unemployed people look like they deserve to be unemployed.

I also cannot understand why the men disliked James so much. (Tho he did totally blow it in brushing off the owner).

David is a freak. And he does make it very clear that it is more than the economy that is contributing to him being unemployed... (Just too bad that there are many very good, non-freakish unemployed people out there, that look just a little "worse" now...)

Here is someone given a great opportunity at the least to show off his people and work skills and he is just wasting it while other eager competent people are watching. I can see how that would be extremely aggravating.

I think why the other guys didn't like James goes back to the ice cream challenge. He isn't a salesman (self admitted) and that's when David started singling him out.
I don't like David either, but, has anyone else noticed every now and then he really resembles Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) on The Office?

David isn't long for this show his days are numbered but I knew that James was a goner after he blew the owner of the doggie daycare off. Plus James not being able to manage the team was glaring and Trump definitely has no use for someone that can't manage a ridiculous person like David. He, David acts like a 6 year old that has emotional issues...if your going to manage people and projects you better be able to handle someone that has the emotional IQ of a 6 year old otherwise you aint gonna make anywhere. Good riddance James.

Mahsa quits her job at the Brooklyn DA's office:

Quits_Brooklyn_DAs_Office

Reached for comment Wednesday, Saeidi-Azcuy said that her newfound celebrity had already proved an obstacle to being a prosecutor, since jurors have begun to recognize her after only two episodes.

"Obviously, how can I be in a courtroom now, at least while the show is airing?" Saeidi-Azcuy said.

Her decision to resign renders moot the question of whether District Attorney Charles J. Hynes would be compelled to borrow Trump's trademark tagline: "You're fired."

In her year in Hynes' office, Saeidi-Azcuy mostly handled misdemeanors in Criminal Court. At the beginning of this summer she asked for and received two months of unpaid leave, during which she filmed the show. She did not inform the office of the reason for her absence.

"We did not know because the district attorney does not ask," office spokesman Jerry Schmetterer said. "He trusts that it's important and has trust in people and does not ask. And that's his policy. We're not going to change that policy."

Had Hynes known the reason for the leave application, it would not have been granted, Schmetterer said.

Hynes decided to transfer Saeidi-Azcuy to a lower-profile position in the office's early case assessment bureau following the show's Sept. 16 premiere. Schmetterer declined to call the move a demotion, but rather an effort to put Saeidi-Azcuy in a position where her burgeoning celebrity would be less likely to present conflicts.
