Guess what, did you see the previews for next week. I put a hex on the show.

I just can't bring myself to care who wins now. I can't stand watching the Amy/Nick thing and Kwame just doesn't interest me. I guess Trump was afraid of sending a bad message by admitting a degree might not be as essential as people think.

Holy cow! I guess that's not an April Fool's joke. Omarosa's making another appearance on a future show?

He was mine, also, Maris....until last week, when he strong-armed the "models." His under-lying viciousness was pretty apparent.

I'll miss Troy. He really had a good attitude.
(Why did he got picked anyway if they were going to use the lack of a college education against him.) :-(

Wha....O...??? Please no.

Can't say I'm happy with the reasoning tonight, but I understand it. My favorite contestant is gone.

I couldn't possibly be any less interested in any romantic junk in this show, it's not like you can't get that in every other program on the tube these days. Please, give me a safe zone.

I think the guy that replaced the old guy made a good statement about Troy. He can be a loose cannon. I think that's why he was fired.

Look at how that last negotiation went when he was trying to rent out that place. Look at how he duped Katrina out of the rental property she wanted.

I don't think Troy's firing had anything to do with him not having a degree. Kwame is a safer bet than Troy.

I think it's going to be an Amy/Bill final. DT was strongly considering letting Kwame go so that's a big hint... I think he was also prepared to do this a couple of weeks ago when Troy sent Kwame up to the suite after the day riding around in an empty rickshaw (sp?) Everyone is telling Trump that Bill is the better man. Trump was clearly impressed with his last performance where he decided to focus on the VIPs. Kwame has been so blah week after week, I just don't see how he could be chosen as the apprentice out of a quarter million people. Bill is a very successful business owner - i.e., CEO material. I think this is what it will come down to...

all I can say is

I was shocked that Troy brought Kwame into the boardroom.

I had been saying for weeks [to my friends] that I thought Kwame would win. Just a feeling I had.
Tonight at the boardroom - when they finally called Kwame on "flying under the radar" (paraphrasing) I thought that I was wrong. Guess I'm not wrong yet...

i too am sick of all the hype they're placing on the "romance". Give me a break. they made a big deal in the promos of "a romance gone bad". Did I miss something? I caught what Nick's father said on the plane and the look on Amy's face - but I didn't see any interaction between Nick and Amy that showed that the "romance" went bad.

Omorosa is baaack <Psycho theme music playing>
Would I be assuming correctly that next week's show was taped already? Only the final episode is live - right?

Well, I am not surprised. I didn't get to see the show tonite, but from the previews, I knew it was Troy. We had last week, the wunderkid telling Troy to quit talking after you made the sale, and then on the previews we see Trump say "you should've just kept your mouth closed"...knew it was my boy Troy!

Didn't Trump end up saying, "you should've just kept your mouth closed", to Kwame?

Could someone please explain what kind of mind games Bill was playing with Nick and Amy? Wasn't he out right lying to both of them or is it all editing?

I thought Kwame winning was just a rumor started by a woman at a club that Katrina went to or some such nonsense... I saw a clip of her saying it was a false rumor.

Well, oops..there goes my theory, but I didn't see the show tonite, so my theory still held true! LOL
What did Kwame do?

I'll probably continue watching to the end, but I don't have my heart in it anymore. It wasn't bad enough that my favorite Troy was fired, but then they have to bring Omarosa back? I was literally yelling at the TV. LOL

Kwame has done nothing to shine. Troy might have been a lose canon at times, but at least he did something to save a heck of a lot of deals where Kwame has just been tagging along. Even Bill said that.

I don't really care who wins now. Thanks a lot Donald! NOT!

ps - Maris, you're lucky I didn't see your comment until a couple of hours after the show ended or I would have thought for sure it was all your fault. ROFL :-)

Not happy about who's left. Can't stand this Nick/Amy thing they are trying to exploit as a romance. And now they're bringing back Omarosa! Bleh! I spit on the ground when I say her name.
And the last minute lease agreement that Nick and Amy got - well the guy had been there before and almost laughed in their face about $40,000 for the place. Then he comes back with 2 minutes to spare and says OK whatever. Very suspcious.

Omarosa was suppose to be on the radio here in Atlanta this morning as part of an April Fool's joke. The station came on the air and said they had fired the regular DJs. The new DJs were Sam and Ereka and then Omarosa was suppose to show up. But when she found out that Ereka was on the show too, she refused to come to the station. Ereka said Omarosa will not talk to her face-to-face.

Well there is no way I am watching next week. I cannot stomach that woman. Maybe it is just an April fools joke the Donald is playing on us.

Boooooo, Billlllll, hissssssssssss Bill is the !

I was sad to see Troy go. I truly hope Bill does not make it to the final two. If being that kind of person is what it takes to be a CEO, keep me far far away!

Maris -- I feel the exact same way. When the previews aired and showed Omarosa being back I thought that's it for me. I won't watch either.

With just a few minutes to spare, MB knew how much money to give the shill to rent the space. Likewise, the shill at the last minute at the renovated apt. Too obvious. In real life things have basic value- so the bids would have been much closer. Troy was my favorite.

Well the guy that Amy & Nick got to sign the lease (Ian) - his issue was originally that he wanted a New Year's Eve party to be held there, but the conditions of the lease were to be out before 12 midnight, so it didn't work. It didn't show what Ian's reaction was to the original quoted price when they were upstairs (I watched it again to see) so we don't know what he was originally quoted and how he felt about the price.
So I was suspicious that:
a)15 minutes before the contest ended, Ian was ready to sign;
b)all of the sudden the lease condition isn't an issue;
c)in the lobby when Amy & Nick saw Ian, they whispered to each other: "$20,000 more? $30,000?" Oh, so being approached with $20K or $30K more than told a couple of hours ago is fine???

Buggles - yes, the Kwame winning was a rumor. First by someone on another board stating they knew the final contestants and winners. Then later by Katrina supposedly being overheard in a club. Both are bogus since the winner isn't announced until April 15th anyway.

I am leaning towards Kwame because I think it's what Trump would like for the President of one of his companies. (I mean for this contest - not in "real life") Someone who isn't too aggressive and "knows how it is" (like Nick) and comes in and starts messing with the company too much. Troy is GREAT at sales and closing, but as a President? I don't know. And Trump thinks of him as a loose cannon so forget about that.

Kwame is perfect because he's not too strong of a leader - he takes direction from others well. He won't do much to make waves in the company. He will allow the company to continue running as is for the most part.
Also, besides having an MBA, he worked at Goldman Sachs - a large corporation. Most of the other contestants seemed more independent in their business endeavors, and may not be as familiar with working in a large corporation.
This is just my perception. I could be WAY off.
