Oma showed what she really is. A liar. Flat out. She also showed us that she is lazy and has no work ethic. I also saw her on Op's show and it was such a sham. I'm shocked Op didn't ask her to leave the stage at one point. I just can't believe that Oma has ANY offers at all after the past 2 days. Who could believe anything she says? Quam is not going to win because of her.

OK.. I'm watching the Oprah show repeat and grrrr.. frustrating, but anyway, Omarosa mugged for the camera and said yes she would be on the show again in an exciting twist.. so I'd say since she is so gleeful about it, probably it WAS a plan to saboutage.. so it will be interesting to see if there is the same twist on the other team as well..

I don't think it was a setup. I think Omarosa was blissfully ignorant of the fact that Diane was also being filmed during that phone conversation, and didn't know that her blatant lie would be so obvious to everyone. I can't think of any other non-contestant/contestant phone call where we have seen both sides of the conversation. IMHO, if there was any setup at all, it was DT setting it up so Omarosa's true personality would be revealed (what better way to discredit her complaints re: plaster, racism, etc.)

I am struck at how very odd I felt at the way the teams picked out. I came here to see what everyone else thought, but I guess maybe it was just me . I cannot understand whyBill would have picked Amy, Nick and Katrina after how miserably they failed together at the casino task. I guess now that I'm typing this out it makes sense that he did not see the inside veiw that we were privy to. I guess maybe I'm realizing that at this point Bill, as the player, wouldn't necassarily know what a train wreck these three are together! Anyone else see this as a bad sign for Bill?

I ended up watching part of the show after all. In a Fix was a repeat I didn't care for the first time I saw it, and even James the carpenter wasn't enough to make me watch the homeowner whine about his kitchen cabinets again... I doubt that the Donald would set up either Bill or Kwame to fail; after all, the golf tournament and the concert are big ticket events, and the Donald could lose money if they don't work out. However, I wouldn't put it past Omarosa to set Kwame up on her own. If he wins, then her racism card isn't valid, but if he loses... I think I agree with Cathie, though, about the Donald setting up O as the liar she is. I wonder about the timing of all this -- did they have time to re-edit this episode to play up O's lies after all the press she's had, to make her look even less credible? They could have even gone back and taped Diane's reactions to play up her disgust with O. Sort of a "Want to file a lawsuit? Remember, we have weeks worth of tape we can pull out about you" ploy.

Oh, yea, loved that -- how she was invited back for a twist, failing to mention that five other players were invited back as well. I don't think she was invited back as a saboteur. I think her ego just failed to mention the other five people involved in the twist of bringing back fired players.

I agree with Luv...at first I rolled my eyes thinking Omarosa was just being the liar she was with Erika IMHO. But this is TOO bold and blatent. I fully expect to see the same thing happen when we see more of Bill's task. They are gonna want to see how well both Bill and Kwame perform when they are the boss and screwups happen. Though I did enjoy the footage of Kwame saying in the real world he would fire Omarosa or never hire her if he had the choice. I don't think that Trump (or Burnett lol) is setting them up "to fail." I think they are setting them up in what happens in the real world every day when you are the boss. Mistakes and screw ups happen and if you are the leader you have to fix them. If this alleged apprentice is really going to work for him for no less than a year he needs someone competant to do that...and it's about time we see the contentants doing something REAL unlike lemonade stands etc. Let's see how they really function at a real job with real challenges. And I am certain they are being closely watched so any mistakes they make won't be a big deal with the actual Trump event. BTW, there is one thing I couldn't understand with Kwame's problem with a missing Jessica Simpson. He's there with her Dad (who was saying don't worry about her lol). Why didn't they just call Jessica on her cell and say "where are you?" DUH

I thought everyne acted like bumblng amateurs...except Omarosa, who seemed to be following a script. Whether on her own or as directed by DT, it was a set up. The Trump said on Imus this morning that Omar "had generated more mail, press, and attention than any of the others". He doesn't care who wins...he cares about numbers only. Viewers. Also, we were left with a cliffhanger...both scenerios about to fall apart. Is this show business or is this show business? Aside from that, there is something very unreal about Osar. She looks good, speaks well, great manners and poise, and dresses with casual good taste. And this description belies the "lazy, disruptive schemer" we've been shown. My guess is: she's an actress, or, she is already employed by DT, and, there's an awful lot we don't know about her.

To change the subject a bit....did anyone else notice the comments that were made about Amy from the people that interviewed her? One woman said she didn't like her type, big white teeth and blonde hair. Another man called her a stepford wife. I don't understand why Amy's appearance even had to come up when the others were judged on their merit/interview. It just disturbed me because I am watching this show with my 17 yr. old daughter and after the show my daughter turned to me and said, "this is what I learned about women in business": "Most of them don't support each other, you can't be to aggressive or you'll be a b!tch, to nice and you're considered passive." I had to agree with her. I don't know how women can learn to work better as a team and support each other. It seemed like Caroline and that woman last night with the glasses didn't even want another woman to succeed. Just some thoughts that bothered me about this show.

Good points, Broxie. I wonder if we'll ever really know the truth? DH and I tend to think that Omarosa, while a lovely, articulate, intelligent woman, is delusional. I think she truly believes she's right and everyone else is out of step. As for Bill and Kwame, my estimation of Kwame went way up this week, while my opinion of Bill went down. As DT said, a good manager needs to inspire his people, not belittle and intimidate them. Bill's "I'm the boss, so do what I say" attitude stinks. He was so disrespectful of the employees at the golf course, who have much more experience and know their jobs far better than he, the newcomer. Kwame kept his cool and, rather than losing it with Omarosa, set about trying to straighten things out. I would have much more respect and admiration for a boss who stays cool and addresses the situation calmly rather than blowing his stack. Employees will follow a boss like this anywhere! (I know, I had one of these once.) I liked Kwame's explanation that he just channels his energy differently. He didn't get through Harvard by being "laid back." I'm rooting for him to win--and then he can fire Omarosa!

Just a little bit of inside info here - I worked for a law firm years ago that represented Donald Trump (one of his many lawyers) and Norma Foedorer has worked for Trump for about 25 or 30 years. Around 15 years ago, she was his private secretary. Seems she proved invaluable to him and he made her his Vice President. If you read his book, the Art of the Deal, I believe he refers to Norma as his right hand.

Bronxie: <My guess is: she's an actress, or, she is already employed by DT, and, there's an awful lot we don't know about her.> I totally agree. There's just something that doesn't add up going on with her and Trump. I still say they have some kind of connection outside the show. He said on Oprah yesterday that that was the first time he'd seen her since firing her. Yet, wasn't there a public appearance with her and Trump together at some talk they gave posted about 5 weeks ago. (This appearance happened after the filming had ended.)

I think DT's statement about not seeing Omarosa since she was fired was a slip up. I don't remember any public appearances together - but he obviously saw her after she was fired because they had to tape last night's episode! (which would have been after Omarosa was fired. There has to be something going on with Trump and Omarosa. Too many "weird" things. I said this in an earlier post, but: DT said on Oprah how he heard Omarosa is doing fantastically well. What is she doing? (besides the talk show circuit) She has possibly potential endeavors such as the book and clothing line, but according to her, that's not happening at the moment.

I guarantee that Omarosa will be involved with the Apprentice 2! Maybe that has something to do with their (DT & O) relationship? And Omarosa's current "gainful employment" (as she stated on Oprah) DT even said that his high ratings were due to Omarosa...

This was on my Yahoo news today:
quote:Apprentice' Star Omarosa Fired 4 Times 26 minutes ago Add Entertainment - AP to My Yahoo! LOS ANGELES - Her stint on "The Apprentice" wasn't the first time Omarosa Manigault Stallworth heard the words "You're fired." People magazine says she was bounced from four jobs in two years with the Clinton administration. A worker at her last job with the Commerce Department (news - web sites) says Omarosa was asked to leave as quickly as possible because she was so disruptive. She says, "One woman wanted to slug her." Meanwhile, "Apprentice" co-star Ereka Vetrini says she's exploring a slander action against Omarosa, according to the New York Daily News. The two have been feuding since Omarosa accused Vetrini of using a racial epithet to describer her. Vetrini denies the accusation. According to Vetrini, Omarosa is "making it up because she wants to write a book on the subject."

Wow. Sounds like taht Ereka woman is working hard to try to keep her name in the newspapers. Thankfully, next year everyone will be saying "Ereka who?" while we continue to celebrate Oma-ticity!
