I saw her (Omarosa) with my own eyes name Ereka. It was a quick, on-the-street type interview from a show that I don't know. Probably a local ET/Access Hollywood type program.

I was watching Condoleeza Rice being interviewed this evening and I was struck by how similar in mannerism and speech she and Omarosa are. I have always thought Ms. Rice was a very intelligent and accomplished woman but I've never cared for her politics. Now I'll never be able to look at her or hear her again without thinking of Omarosa so all you democrats out there need to work harder to get the republicans out of office or I'll never have any peace.

Tonight's show was very interesting because it was the first time I'd seen the episode in the airplane. Does anyone know who said the "pot calling the kettle black" comment? Omarosa really got defensive at that and that is when she pulled out the race card. I'm wondering if, in her mind, she recalls it as having been much worse than it was. I think it's a real shame that Omarosa had to blow that whole thing up into a racial incident when that wasn't what was intended at all. But I think it *is* indicative of the huge chip she bears on her shoulder that she went off on that comment. She may have truly felt victimized in that moment, and that may be why she blames Ereka, if it was Ereka who had said that. If so, hopefully-as part of the therapy she desperately needs-she will acknowledge that she blew it out of proportion and deal with it.

I was also surprised at how much *less* I liked Omarosa after the "Review" show today. She just came across as even meaner than in the individual shows. Did anyone else think that? Toying with Amy and laughing about it-was she telling the truth or making up a hurtful lie just for the fun of it? Not that either was very nice. Wow.

Thanks for the link on the concussion. She didn't look too concussed. Headache maybe, but she seemed in good spirits and laughing about just taking some aspirin and resting instead of fixing the apartment up (like haha, that's a better deal, not haha what I really need is to go to the hospital).

Enjoyed tonight's recap show. I want to throw things at the TV when I see and hear Omarosa. What's that old saying? How can you tell if she's lying? Her lips are moving!! She should stick to politics since she is so good at evading the truth. God, I can't stand that woman!

I can see Amy in the finals and winning it all. I hope Troy gets his act together because I really like him. He's come up with some really good ideas. I like Kwame too and hope he does better in the next episode.

I was a bit disappointed with the recap show. I guess they can only show so much in an hour.

I have a friend that I got to start watching the Apprentice about 4 episodes in. I told him to watch tonight so he could get a background on some of the people - like Tammy - who made inappropriate comments in every episode. They didn't show ANY of her comments! I was surprised.

I was surprised that they didn't show a lot of other things - like Omarosa BARGING into the board room.

But I was very happy to see that a doctor went to the suite. I never heard about that. I only read about her spending 18 hours in a hospital. I guess she didn't want to admit that the first doctor said it was nothing and to just take some Advil.

I also found it interesting that when they were all introducing themselves at the beginning, O stated that she has a Phd. In her bio it says "working towards a Phd."

What I remember is the day they rehabbed the apartments and Omarosa was overcome with headache and not working and went outside and then they showed her suddenly perking up and playing games with some kids.. like she didn't "need" to have a headache anymore.

Love The Donald in the Verizon ad :-) "You ARE fired, you minute-hoarding clock-watcher".

The Verizon commercial was great! I'm surprised they didn't run the Miss USA and Apprentice finale commercial with Sam.

Re: Omarosa playing ball with the kids - she claims that was 4 days later. (although she complained how she suffered through 2 weeks )

She seems to think we are stupid!
First of all, she was wearing the same clothes. And Heidi or Ereka or someone who gave an interview recently said there was no way that that was 4 days later. They were already onto the next challenge at that point!

Here are a couple of articles regarding her claims of the "N" word being used:

March 12th
NEW YORK — Ex-"Apprentice" contestant Ereka Vetrini says her nemesis, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, lied when she claimed to have been called the "N" word on Donald Trump's reality show.

"I'm here to tell you that Omarosa is lying and I can prove that she's lying," a visibly upset Vetrini said on yesterday's "The View."

Vetrini was hurriedly booked on "The View" after Omarosa told Star Jones on Wednesday's show that one of her female competitors leveled the "N" bomb at her - but that it was edited out.

Omarosa didn't name Vetrini, but it was implied, based on their verbal sparring on the show.

"That word doesn't exist in my vocabulary," Vetrini said. "You have to walk through this logic. It's reality TV, and we're on camera and audio 24/7 . . . If me or any other contestant said something that vulgar or disgusting . . . it would be on TV. It's damn good TV.

"And you all know Omarosa is outspoken. She would've gone to town on me, are you kidding? And why did she wait eight weeks to talk about it? I'm absolutely sick to my stomach about the whole thing."

"View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who's friends with "The Apprentice" creator Mark Burnett, said she called him to ask about Omarosa's charges.

"He was horrified at the very suggestion . . . and told me he could not confirm that anywhere on the footage, on any tape, is Ereka using the 'N' word," Hasselbeck said.

The Post caught up with Omarosa yesterday after she appeared on Fox News Channel - and asked if she lied about the "N" word charge.

"I never mentioned on 'The View' what contestant I was referring to, so if it wasn't [Ereka], why was she offered to go on that show and talk about something where her name was never mentioned?" Omarosa said.

"I'm just going to move on," she said. "Ereka has no press, and I see this as a way she's trying to get back out in the press and exploit it. Ereka doesn't have a job or any job prospects on the horizon - she lives in her mother's basement, for crying out loud."

"She's at home clipping articles about me. Her obsession with me is going to continue, and I don't want to feed into it," she said.


Omarosa was asked about Burnett's comment that the "N-word incident" never happened.
"How can you fight against denials?" she said.

Oh she annoys the heck out of me with her "alternate-reality" (to quote someone else on this board)!!!

Puleezzz don't mention Condoleeza Rice and what's-her-face together. What's-her-face can only dream of measuring up to Rice's accomplishments.

First time I saw the wireless commercial with DT, I thought he said "You ARE fired, you minute-wh0re clock-watcher".

I was stunned until a friend told me what he really said.

first time I actually heard the commercial I was in another room from the tv and I heard Donald say a name which sounded like Amy you are fired, well I went running to the t.v. set thinking they were showing a spoiler for the next show. So I look at the screen and I am thinking, I dont know any of those people. Didnt realize it was a commercial till the end. lol.

An interesting thing I noticed about the Omarosa Cement Incident was Omarosa, in her accounts of it, never mentioned seeing a doctor before going to the emergency room, and having the doctor tell her it's a bump with no bleeding and to take Advil. It was also dark when she went to the ER, so it seems like it was several hours after the incident itself. She makes it sound like she was hit on the head and then whisked off to the emergency room.

I will say, though, that O's squeal of pain was louder than I remembered, and she was hunched over afterwards (crouched down) with one of the guys offering some comfort. so I'm sure she was in some pain afterwards.

Pamy, I taped it too and I'm sure it was in the second half. Sorry, that's as close as I can narrow it down.

i squeal when something unexpected happens. if something fell on me, i would squeal from surprise, not necessarily pain.
i think omarosa has been backpedaling on the 'n' thing. she won't get specific, now says she just wants to get past 'it'...to me the 'it' is her making a fool of herself.
i don't know anyone her age who is well-educated or even alive, who hasn't heard the term 'pot calling the kettle black' and i don't know anyone who would take it as anything other than 'same thing back at you', unless they have always looked at the downside of each and every thing that happens and look for a negative connotation.....i think perhaps omarosa has gotten jobs and only stayed in them because people are afraid to get rid of her no matter what. i'd be terrified of a lawsuit or lies being spread about me for things i didn't ever say-- or mean the way she took them!
i now know why gore conceded to bush. it was the only way to end o's job!

LOL, Tabby! Maybe that is the reason he conceded. God knows, if I had to put up with someone like her each day, I'd quit the job.

Tabby, don't get me wrong -- I think she is milking her "injury" for all she can get out of it. I'm just saying what I heard last night was not what I remembered, and in light of that, I think she was in some pain immediately after the incident. However, I highly doubt, based on what the doctor said who looked at her bump and based on what we saw of her behavior in the following days, that it was as bad as O is now saying, two months later.

Was it worse than what I remembered seeing the first time? Probably. Was it as bad as O has said? Probably not.

I just figured it was MB and DT covering their asse(t)s. It's not worth the risk of liabilty not to have someone checked out who is claiming to have an injury.

She wasn't seeing stars when that thing hit her on the head, she was seeing dollar signs.

after watching the recap show i noticed in the beginning when it was men vs. women the men were held accountable(because they lost and couldn't blame any of the women.)....has anyone noticed that since the mixing of the teams not one male has been fired?! every single time a woman has been held accountable and fired. 4 men were left when they had to change it up. and 4 men are left now.

Pris, ITA about the immediate pain/reaction. When you get hit by an unknown object, no matter the size, you are taken by surprise and are kinda freaking until you realize what you have been hit by.

At that moment I would be thinking that I had an iron pole or something sticking out of my head like that show on ER and those out gross out medical shows LOL!

Omarosa is her own worst enemy. All she has to do is open her mouth. Nobody has to attack her, she does an expert job of impeaching her own credibility.

My 10-year-old daughter made me howl after the pot calling the kettle black incident. She said "Well, if that isn't the broccoli calling the spinach green! Well, I guess it's obvious now, I hate vegetables!"

i would guess since your cutie's statement also involved 'color', omarosa would find hidden greening, er, i mean meaning, there, too!
