I think the last standing could be Amy, Troy, or Nick. Nick seems like a mini Donald to me. I think as of right now in the series, that Trump likes Nick best.

Interesting article about Omarosa at http://www.daytondailynews.com/ What's most interesting about it: 1. Her head injury really was serious, requiring hospitalization. 2. She learned from the show that she has an attitude. 3. After, she'll be touring college campuses with Trump "...But she did learn something about herself by watching the show, she said. "I have an attitude problem," she said with a smile and a hand on her hip. Throughout the viewing of the episode, Manigault-Stallworth would break in during commercials and give away secrets about being on the show as well as take questions from her audience. When the apprentices are fired and take the cab ride, some of the footage had been shot months ago, she said. Now, the apprentices are taken to a secret location to avoid the paparazzi, who were staking out the cabs to take photographs. Thursday night's episode featured the apprentices renovating a vacant apartment, during which Manigault-Stallworth was injured. She said the editing made it seem as though her injury was minor but she said she spent 18 hours in a New York City hospital diagnosed with severe head trauma and a concussion after being hit by a piece of sheet metal. "Trump is a beast," she said. "He is not this innocent person," she said. She said he once told her he would never be happy until he destroyed all of his competitors. One thing he taught her, she said, was to brand everything. She noticed that his name seemed to be on everything — buildings, bottled water in their suites, even toilet paper. Manigault-Stallworth, who said she's writing a book and designing a line of business suits, said she will make sure her name is on everything she does. She found out during the interviewing process for the show that there was room for only one black woman. More than 215,000 people applied to be on the show. "I brought my Central State game face in," said Manigault-Stallworth, who also played volleyball for CSU. Her advice to those who want to get into the business world: "Don't look to get a compliment from your competitors . . . you have to know your stuff . . . you really can't be moved by people who don't like you." At the same time, Manigault-Stallworth pointed out that she'll be going on a summer tour of black colleges with Trump, recruiting for the next edition of the show. ..."

18 hours may sound like a long time but it isnt all that unusual to spend that amount of time in an emergency room in NYC. I have done it on more than one occasion. I doubt that someone with a "severe" head trauma and major concussion would not have been forced to seek immediate medical attention. Sounds to me like at the end of the day she decided to go to emergency room. Omarosa has a varied career including aspirations to be an actress. She is listed as a CNN staff member in the house of representatives, she competed herself for Mrs. Washington D.C. I think she has a flair for the dramatics.

I agree w/Maris. You can wait FOREVER in an ED before you even see anyone "inside." We have long waits here and it's just Western NY. I can only imagine how long it is in NYC! I always swore I would never go back to an ED unless it was by ambulance. Well, the mistake I made when I DID go by ambulance after a car accident was, not saying my pain was higher - you know the 1-10 system? I was in a bit of shock and when they asked me I didn't hurt as bad as I did when I was first hit, but I'm telling you, laying strapped to a backboard for hours (I was moved off of the URGENT list) brings on more pain than I could have ever imagined. I was crying w/pain and I couldn't get anyone to come near me. Even when I would hit the "call button" often it would take 20 min. or more for someone, usually an aide, to see what I wanted. They ended up giving me my pain meds and nausea meds about 10 min. before the MD came to discharge me. So if you HURT.. cry like a friggin baby. The time before when I was in, the guy next to me got all kinds of treatment because he was whining like a baby and we had the same thing. Only difference? His had just started the night before. I had been sick for 4 days before I broke down to go. Anyway, a long time in the ED, doesnt mean serious. FWIW!

How come if the program shows a contestant we like in a bad light, it's editing, but if it's a contestant we don't like, even if we hear something different, we don't scream editing, but we are convinced that the person is a bad person?

I think there is a certain amount of truth in that but it works both ways. For example Rupert last season on Survivor, the producers loved this guy and he was turned into the star of the show. He was the favorite and if you were a fan, Rupert could do no wrong. This year, Rupert isn't much different than he was last year but the glow is gone. Is that editing? Regarding Omarosa, I was never a fan of hers starting with her first fight with Tammy and the way she presented herself in terms of her dress and demeanor. It got on my nerves the way she called the other women "ladies" and her disdain for her fellow competitors. How much if it is editing? I guess you could say it is editing because she gets so much airplay and it is all negative. You cant get away from the fact though that the words are coming out of her mouth and the attitude is coming from her.

I agree with you, Ladytex. It seems TPTB have decided to make Omarosa the "evil" one. They really did her a disservice by not showing us that she had gone to the emergency room and been diagnosed with a concussion. If she was injured, she should have been resting. But why was she feeling well enough to play Bball with those kids? I'm glad to hear her admit she has an "attitude" problem. I think she is a really smart, strong woman who obviously has a lot on the ball or she wouldn't have gone as far as she has in the business world. It's just too bad that the producers only show us her less attractive side. We might like her more if we saw the whole Omarosa.

Wow! What an insightful article! Maris, I understand where Ladytex is going with her comments. Lots of people get where she's coming from, without saying, "yes, but...." What's unfortunate is that, even after folks found out that Omarosa did not "fake" her disposition, they still couldn't accept it and move on; There still had to be something negative said about the woman. Many statements from the opinions of CEO's, COO's, and other professionals who have contributed their input on the show, discussed leadership traits. The list can be long and cumbersome, but the results are the same. A person should not be considered based on personality, but their ability to perform. In this case (and on these boards), that seems to be the only trait considered. It isn't whether or not we like the individual, but whether they have what it takes to be an apprentice. Sure, it's easy to sit in front of our computers, and feel absolutely comfortable and free to post judgements on others. But why should we do that? Isn't there something to be said for those participating in these reality-based shows, bearing humility from US? At least they had the confidence and ability to try. IMHO, an acceptable personality does create a more complete leader. However, it's not high on the priority list. How many times have any of us witnessed a so-called leader who is "soft" get run over or taken advantage of, because they're too nice? If Omarosa performed like this, the boards would have her head on a plate! If Omarosa was on the oposite end of the spectrum, her head would be on a plate! And by the way, if Omarosa performed on a balanced-scale, the boards would still serve her head on a plate. There are characteristics of each of the candidates which can be viewed as both positive and negative. Omarosa falls on a double-edged sword, however, in her attempt to become the apprentice; She's black and she's a woman. Here's an article discussing it in more detail: http://www.voternewsnetwork.com/VNN/newsletters/october302.html

It's a t.v. show and these people put themselves in front of the camera to be discussed. Further, the producers pick people that they believe will stir things up. Further, if Ladytex didn't want anyone to discuss her opinion and possibly offer a different view she would have stated so. I dont get the problem with offering negative opinions about people on these shows. Everyone is entitled to an opinion which includes liking or disliking people participating in the game. So, I am probably going to continue saying YES BUT................

Well, well, well. This isn't exactly a shock or anything, but I thought you guys want to see this: From pagesix.com: "February 23, 2004 -- HOW real is the reality in "The Apprentice"? Kinda phony, according to Deborah Young, a reporter for the Staten Island Advance who was seen this week renting an apartment in Carroll Gardens. The reporter had previously arranged to rent the pad at a lower price, but played along when the show's producers asked her to sign a lease at a 27 percent mark-up, the apartment having been spruced up by one of the apprentice teams as that week's assignment. It was also made to look like Young saw the apartment moments before the 5 p.m. deadline, when she was really at the apartment mid-afternoon. The dishonest charade has left her feeling dirty. "I'm not very comfortable in the role of participant in the newest entertainment craze," Young wrote."

Thanks for posting Scorpiomoon. I saw the same thing and you beat me to it. Very interesting. I was really skepticle (sp?) when a renter came in right before the deadline and they were able to make a deal. Seemed suspicious to me. I am also surprised that there are no classified ads in the their local newspapers with the title, "Wanted to rent". When I worked in advertising we had such a category and that would certainly have been a resource for finding a renter. The way they did things sure left it up to "providence or coincidence...or...." Wonder how much of this is manipulated. Oh, and I have a question: Where is the old man who sits next to DT? Has he been replaced with someone new?

I am shocked about this development!!!! I was talking with a friend last night about this show and the whole apartment thing. I thought those one bedrooms went pretty cheap in brooklyn, especially the one with a fireplace. The other thing is all any of them had to do was go to the local laundromat, put up a sign saying one bedroom apartment, newly renovated open house today and they would have had plenty of people stopping by to see the apartment.

Thanks Zules. Now I wish I hadn't been so anxious to read the spoiler. It bums me if it is true. I will continue to wish "it ain't so" and go on believing that it will work in someone else's favor. AAARRRGGGHHH! Phew, just had to vent for a moment. Thanks for "listening".

I don't believe the rumor. For one thing, it names the winner, and I have heard the finale was going to be live, like on Survivor. Also, I'm with Maris. Of course we dissect these people's personalities! That's the point of watching reality TV--seeing "real people" in semi-real situations and seeing how they react. If we weren't allowed to do that, it would be no fun to post, because the game is all about their personalities (like Survivor is).
