Herckle, there are REASONS why I come here before the show is on. To be spoiled!!!! <BIG grin> If I didn't wanna know, I'd stay out of the discussions called "tonight's show" until after I saw the show. So please don't stop!

Actually, I think Omarosa is a bit of a loose cannon. I haven't watched the last half of the show, so it's possible my opinion may change. But I think she's got a chip on her shoulder the size of California...

Did you see the look on Sam's face when he was fired??? WOW! It truly scared me. And then what was that delussional rambling in the cab that "Trump was really saying, you are the winner Sam"???

DId anyone see Sam interviewed by Katie Couric this am? They brought his girlfriend of 5 years to speak about how he really is and low and behold....he proposes to her on tv. To be honest, he was not as "over the top" as he appeared on the show...

Did anyone notice the scene when the men and Carolyn (assistant) were getting into the taxi van? The men just jumped right in without even allowing Carolyn to go in. It was like she wasn't there. My father would kill me if I treated a woman like that. Heck, Mrs. Hobbs wouldn't be too thrilled either. Hold open the door for her. It could even earn you brownie points.

Has anyone else noticed how Donald Trump holds his hand when he's firing someone? He has his hand on his chest, and then he pulls it out and it's like he's throwing something at the person he's firing. He's throwing fire-balls! LOL! Say "You're fired" and throw the fire-ball!

How many times did Sam get told he was fired last night? He had to be told at least 5 times. I'll count when I watch the show again.

I bet that Sam is very successful in his own right. He just didn't fit in with the other guys. It will be interesting to see how it works out now that they don't have a scapegoat to blame things on!

Poor Sam! I kind of liked him, though I agree he deserved to be fired. I think Donald called it when he said he's either a genius or a crazy man. Maybe he just needs the right situation in which to shine. Loved how the guys kept having to remind him to stop talking and focus!

The girls need to get their act together and try to get along. I admire Omarosa for being a strong woman and not afraid to stand up for herself, but I wish she would also see that to be a team you have to get along (she keeps saying, "I didn't come here to make friends"). The behavior of the other girl who was grabbing her arm was over the top. She seemed to be upset that she couldn't make Omarosa like her. While it's a good idea to try to get along with your teammates, you don't necessarily have to be best friends either. Hope the women can put aside their differences and keep working together without the cat fights. It's embarassing!

well Sam needed to be fired, as he's made mistake after mistake...There was a bit of a trap in that task I think...Some items really couldn't be negotiated that much (the gold for example), while others could be way down (the leg wax would be one, the golf club might be another)....The ladies did the right thing by splitting up and trying not to cause tension (Omeresa is going to get in trouble if she at least doesn't TRY to be friendly)....

As for the preview for next week, if I heard it right, the guys are going to try to pass Kwame off as Kwame BROWN, a basketball player....but it also looks like the girls are going to be called on the carpet for their antics as well...This next ep could be very brutal....

Where is everyone? I thought there would be a million posts this morning. Has everyone lost interest?

no Scorpio...the ratings came in, and Apprentice was swamped by AI last night (AI got about double the rating Apprentice did)....once the auditions are over on AI and they go to a normal schedule (only the results show on Wednesdays), the ratings and interest should pick back up...

I just taped one and watched the other. Sam was amazing me with his lack of urgency. Like when Bill was telling him to get another item and Sam was trying to slowly talk to him on the phone, meanwhile there is about 15 minutes left. I couldn't believe it.
Gemma, I noticed that hand thing too. What about when Donald shook Sam's hand and nearly pulled the poor guy across the room.

I am really starting to like this show. I thought I'd start losing interest by now, but watching these over-achievers is kind of like watching a bunch of Alex P. Keatons duke it out(that's the Michael J. Fox character from Family Ties for you youngins).

Sam needed to be fired. Entertainment value or not, he was the weakest link. His craziness was driving the men down. I hope the guys pull it together now. Not just because I'm a guy, but because I would love to see how the women handle the board room.

Omarosa breeds tension, but the other girls need to stop letting her push their buttons. She remains calm while they go ballistic! It shows me that they are not great when it comes to handling pressure.

It has been mentioned that this game is rigged. Is there any way we can see it's not?

I guess it would depend on what part was being rigged. I'm sure MB and crew took many liberties. But rigged? I don't know.

The game is not rigged. It's just that the producers have the final say on who stays and who goes of the 3 left sitting in the board room. Because of that fact, I thought they would leave Sam around because he provided good TV, but it looks like they might be actually using fair business judgement in their decisions.

Omarosa strikes me as such a terrible communicator. I'm shocked she's acheived the level of success she has outside the game. She would probably get on my nerves too but these women really let it get the best of them. With all the fighting going on between them, I'm surprised they've been able to win anything at all.

I missed the whole arm-grabbing session. What happened?

I, for one, am glad to see Sam gone. I thought he should have been tossed after falling asleep on the job. It'll be interesting to see how the guys do without him there. And what the heck was that stupid thing about someone greeting him properly at the door all about? What a loon!

I watched his interview this morning with Katie and he seemed a bit more "normal". I didn't think his proposing on TV was "over the top", we've seen it a million times already. Not a very original idea for someone who touts thinking outside the box. That said, his fiance seems nice and very adoring of him and that counts much more than what I think of him. The best to them both!

A LMAO moment was at the end, when Sam was FINALLY fired....anyone notice Bowie pulling out Sam's chair so he could leave? Cracked me up!

When I began watching this show, I was pro-women....now I'm disgusted by them. While sex does sell, it doesn't in EVERY SITUATION, damn! I'm surprised the T&A literally hasn't been shown, some of these women are so tacky. Glad to see that Christine finally brings this to their attention next week.

Omarosa - This time, I was on her side. If she had put her hand on Katrina, the rest of the ladies would have been screaming bloody murder. I thought she handled herself very well by just walking away from her when she did that. I really don't see her as such the witch, IMO she is very strong-willed and not afraid to speak her mind. And as for her not being there to make friends, Tammy said the very same thing at the beginning of the show, and I think she is more of a looser cannon than Omarosa.

Hobbs, I thought DT had final say. When did we find out the producers had final say? If they do, I'm really surprised they got rid of Sam so early on.

Oh, yeah, and I really like Troy so far. The way he would handle Sam gave me the impression he would be good with kids.

Actually Omarosa did put her hands on another woman to stop her when she was talking to her. I will check my tape and let you know when it was. I thought Omarosa better chill out or she is going to be the first one to go amongst the women. She seems to be the center of every argument and I dont think everyone can be wrong...

There will come a point where the teams no longer exist and it will be every person for her/himself. I hope Omarosa stays around long enough to get to that point. She will shine a whole lot more when she is on her own. I hope she wins this thing.

The producers don't have the final say. DT does. The credits at the end of the show state that he may consult with producers on who to go if he chooses, but it's ultimately his decision.

Does anyone think Nick is a suck up? I liked him at first, but now I'm not so sure. I guess I still like him.

I also like how Kwame just came right out and told Sam, "I'm telling you to your face, Sam. I don't respect you. You don't have to worry about me saying behind your back." That was just so cool!

I respectfully disagree with you Maris. I think everyone can be wrong. But it is totally possible for one person to get the "hate" ball rolling and the rest of the women follow suit.

Ereka started it. Then Katrina had to get in on the drama. Did anyone notice Omarosa did well with her team--minus Ereka and Katrina--and they had no problem with her?

SBG, I did notice that and thought he might have done it in case Sam tried to sit back down, he'd find himself sprawled on the floor.

Anyway, what happened with the arm-grabbing? I totally missed it! (Darn the friendly neighbors who drop by!)

So Katrina grabbed Omarosa's arm. Well, that's totally unacceptable! What brought it on in the first place?

Omarosa had the first argument with Tammy on the first show.
