Luvtrash, the speculation is one of the rules was you couldn't mention the show, Trump, or the fact this would be on TV to entice people to sell the lemonade....Sam might have come close when he was trying to sell the guy the $1000 glass, but didn't.

i would have bought a polaroid camera and charged 5 bucks for the lemonada and a photo, signed with a sharpie. i would have said, 'what if i ever get famous; wouldn't you love a pic of you and me together? autographed, no less!' now, we are supposed to get this at 8:32. is that what everyone else has? i think we are all being 'trumped', and whoever can find this each week wins the big bucks

I'll confirm when I get home, but I think I remember Tivo saying it starts at 8:32 and runs for only 56 minutes.

It's not in my TV program listing from the SUnday paper and if I miss it, I'm gonna be brokenhearted!

Thanks for the explanation, Wilson. He is a strange little guy, isn't he?

Loved this show! 90 mins felt like less than one hour. When Trump was reading the script at the start of the show, I thought he was not very good and over acting... trying to sound like a professional announcer, which he is not. But, when he was just asking questions and being himself he was very good. I blame the director for not giving him the right direction. I was shocked that either team even made back their money! My first idea would have been to keep the $250 seed money and follow the girls in secret... after they bought all their stuff and spent their money I would have had the guys warn the girl's potential customers about the home-made drink not being safe. I would have tried to sabotage their sales... plus had a cop give them a citation for street peddling without a license and lock them up. My team would have won hands down with that tactic. They would not have seen it coming. The bottom line is... they were breaking the law by selling that stuff on the street without a license. Not to mention the health code violations. LOL But I ALWAYS think outside the box. The girl that took an hour lunch break will be one of the first to go home. She has no work ethic. Plus she never saw the movie "Wall Street" - with the famous line... "Lunch is for pu$$ies." The board room scene with Trump putting the guys on the spot was great. The process was fascinating... taking blame... sending blame... ganging up... it was an interesting study in survival. I love the fact that Trump gets to make the final decision. I was shocked at the guy who had to go home. Never saw that coming. Plus I like the fact that the eviction rules are not clear and laid out. Felt like Trump was making them up as he went along-- which was good. All in all.... GREAT SHOW!! VERY INTELLIGENT!!!

This show - so interesting! I was facinated by all the players. The Viceroys ( ha! That's what the fired guy called Trumps two sidekicks ) are fun to watch as well. Neither the man or the woman were yes-men . . strong opinions very welcome to hear. I agree about Trump in the boardroom! He was very natural and on point. I love it that he didn't have any trouble making his decisons, either. Donald marches to the beat of his own drummer, but again, love the imput from his partners. ( Sorry, can't remember names, yet. ) Thought the lemonade stand idea was fantastic, but I knew imediately the women would rule ( sex sells ), still was floored the girls raked in 1,200 big ones. Am sure the men will be getting plenty of assignments in which to shine. Was so interesting to see both teams in action. Impressive to see the men get freebies, great ideas! Sam, trying to sell a guy on the street a 1,000$ cup of lemonade, wanted to smack him. His impassioned plea in the boardroom, and getting down on all fours ( in the waiting area had my eyes poppin out, lol. I was shocked he didn't go, but see the reasoning ( cause they showed it to me ). David ( looks like a baby Henry Kissinger ) . . I did think he might go, he was way too obnoxious for the team, chasing people down with cups of product was not cool, plus with all his degrees, he seemed clueless about people and their feelings. Tammy ! When the girls went to Trumps Delux Apartment in the Sky, she stuck her Prada shod foot in her mouth a couple of times . . . told Trumps girlfriend " You're a very lucky girl " ,lol! Intelligent conversations, type A's galore, eye candy, plus it seems like a fresh idea! I'm hooked.

Something interesting about that $1200.00 the girls made on the first day. Do that 5 days a week for a year, and you've got a cool $288,000.00 big ones. Just goes to show you that money is out their for the taking if you are willing to go get it. 288k is more than the grand prize salary.

Cross... you have to divide the 288,000 by 8 and that is only $36,000. Then you have to subtract the sale's tax you have to pay ($2,970) LOL Plus... I wonder if the cameras had been hidden in vans and not in the faces of people, how many cups of juice would they have sold at $5 each. People bought the stuff to be on TV!

Well I've been out of town and I finally saw the show. I loved reading everybody's comments. Just two things to add: David's IQ didn't translate into English class mastery because he mispronounced "forte" when he told The Donald that sales wasn't his forte. Everyone says "fortay" but the correct pronunciation is "fort." "Fortay" only applies to music. Donald or his sidekicks may have known and noticed that. I think we missed part of the scene and then the discussion when Sam was accused of crossing the line. If we didn't miss it happening, we definitely missed the discussion because they kept referring back to it but they never showed it. Make sense? I think it was what someone already said - that he told the guy he would be on tv or meet Donald or something.
