Now that you guys mention all the stuff about the women's dress making them seem unprofessional, I can't help but wonder what Carolyn--DT's business partner (or whatever her title is) and the women who oversaw the guys team--thought of these women and their choice of clothing. Carolyn didn't look like the kind of woman who would have dressed in a miniskirt to help her get where she is.

I could be wrong.

carolyn has been with DT for 25 years or something, didn't he say? perhaps she dressed like that 25 years back, but i don't really think so, either. she was totally 'buttoned-up' looking. i think the mini-skirts make women look more 'frivolous' and probably not as 'business savvy', because to me professional images come from demeanor not dress. and the first thing you see is how someone is dressed. first impressions do count, IMO.
and i'm sorry, but the undies in the pic remind of the old sanitary pad and belt days. :)
has melania already had her eyes done? they look like cat-eyes, which so many women get from having their face-lifts or eyelifts done too tight!

roflmao, well I have to say the women really let themselves down. They lost sight of what their goal is which is a 250k/year job which jumpstart their careers. Instead they saw an overthehill, single billionaire complete with zero taste.

Omarosa, from what I read, is consulting with women in the beauty pageant industry which might explain her short dresses, legs get the prize. Unfortunatley she does not have the legs for the dress and this isnt how corporate America works either. I can see from her background in the Clinton whitehouse how she may have been mistaken as to what gets you ahead in life. Tammy Lee, her name cracks me up, I keep thinking of Jim Baaker actually probably has the kind of personality that the Don likes and I think he will keep her around for a while. She may end up being put up by every project manager each week but the Don wont vote her out. She is very like Ivana, tough tough tough.

I wonder whether they will merge the tribes at some point and that is when things will get very interesting. Sammy versus Tammy, OUCH cant wait for that one. She will be putting those stilettos in his eyes.

JUst found this thread and I am really glad we have included this show. My dh and I watched it premiere....like pulling teeth to get him to watch anything reality..., but he LOVED it. He can't wait till next week. Now, he claims that the intrigue of the business side of things that he enjoyed the most. I'm gonna trust him on that one, however, I do think the male versus female had something to do with it too. I honestly was impressed with how well the men initally approached the challenge. Getting those freebies was very creative. (hubby is laughing as I am typing this!)

Anyway, I am glad that FINALLY we will be able to enjoy a reality show together. I am a little worried that he might invade my home here. Watch for him.

RESCHEDULING ALERT!!!

NBC has announced that ep 2 is now going to be shown THURSDAY from 8:30-9:30, instead of Wednesday (Wednesday will be an edited episode 1)....This is so to not go up against a new ep of CSI CBS had placed on Wednesday....but there's a rumor that episode will now air Thursday as well...so stay tuned....

Whoah. I wonder if any of these scheduling changes have something to do with this tidbit from the NY Post's Page Six:

"January 9, 2004 -- DONALD Trump is still seething at CBS boss Les Moonves for dropping Trump's Miss Universe pageant, which was picked up by NBC. In an interview airing tonight on NBC's "Access Hollywood," Trump blasts Moonves for putting CBS powerhouse "C.S.I." against his NBC reality show, "The Apprentice," saying Moonves "made a fool of himself over the Miss Universe contest . . . I must tell you that if I were Sumner Redstone and I saw the bad deal he made on the Miss Universe contest, he wouldn't be running CBS. So that's really what happened and we're honored because they put their best show against us." Trump also claims Moonves initially didn't want the CBS smash "Survivor" and gives all credit to its creator, Mark Burnett, who happens to be executive producer of "The Apprentice." A CBS spokesman shot back: "Les Moonves is running the No. 1 network in television and we're somehow managing to limp along without the Miss Universe pageant." Sniped a steamed CBS insider: "Donald Trump's reputation as one of the world's greatest horses' asses remains unchallenged.""

Wappy, so glad you and hubby liked the show too.

Now, how are we going to know if your hubby takes over your identification here to post his comments?

I'm thinking that the gals were probably told by the producers to wear the skimpy/sexy clothing.

Well I wonder if their little war was the reason they didn't show the rerun tonight, as scheduled, as it showed on my DVR, but instead showed a repeat of Average Joe and then started in on other shows.. grrr. So, I still haven't seen the first episode.

I missed it, too! Had the VCR set to another channel last week and then all set to finally watch the encore it was 2 episodes of Law & Order instead..

ok....the scheduling issue is settled. CBS has pulled the new CSI ep scheduled for Wednesday, and now has put it back in the normal Thursday timeslot (9-10). The premiere Apprentice ep is still supposed to repeat Wednesday at 8 (in an edited form, fititng a 60 minute slot instead of a 90 minute one), and ep 2 will air Thursday at 8:30-9:30.

So, let me get this straight.

NBC pulled The Apprentice off of Wednesday night and put it on Thursday so as not to go against the new episode of CSI. Then, CBS pulled CSI off of Wednesday night and put it back on Thursday night to go against The Apprentice again...????

My DVR/Cable has new CSI ep at 8 on Wed and also new Apprentice ep same time.. no repeat.. hopefully they'll get that straightened out.

I hate that 8:30 stuff.. let's pig out and clash with TWO shows on every other channel, not just one.

ok so which one of us are going to show them that playing with the viewers will not stand. Let's boycott the Apprentice. Show of hands?

Sorry, Maris - I like The Apprentice and hate CSI, so there isn't a conflict for me. LOL

I love both. Thank goodness I have DVR.
