I think Omarosa hurt Kwame to the extent that he picked her so quickly. It was apparent from the beginning she couldn't get along with anyone on her teams and should have been the last one picked. I also think that Kwame was trying to play it too safe in the boardroom, he didnt want to say Omarosa is a nut and I made a mistake. It was a lapse in judgement but I believe I minimized the damage she could cause. He came across as a poor judge in selecting her and also someone who while he was managing her didn't seem to get that she was sabotaging the operation. The last thing Donald needs is someone who cant judge the employees under him and be on top of their activities.

I think Bill did a great job. There is a lot of talk about how easy it is to run a golf tournament but that is because he made it look easy. How many of you have had large weddings and then think about the headaches in pulling it all together. We only saw glimpses of the activities, but I am sure he was in charge of the tee times, who tees off first, making sure everything was in place, the subcontractors did their jobs, etc. The fact that it looked easy is a testament to his team. Meanwhile down in Jersey you had a team with the Diva kidnapping and losing the star every step of the way.

Well, I don't care...

I just emailed Clairol and expressed my dislike of them maybe using Omarosa for their products as well. And I specified online advertising, print ads, and TV commercials! LOL

Thank you Tabbyking for the link! :-)

Here's the link again in case anybody wants it again: http://www.herbalessence.com

It's sad to me that a character in a television game would create such rancor.




The problem I have with the attention Omarosa is getting is it's yet another example of somewhat public figure exhibiting bad behavior and getting rewarded for it. I'm not a parent, but I imagine it makes it a tad bit more difficult for parents to teach their children that lying is a bad thing when someone "famous" not only gets away with it but benefits from it -- whether it be Omarosa, a president (present or past), or the CEO of a corporation.

Call me moralistic or unreasonable or unrealistic or whatever, but it bugs be when someone benefits from bad behavior -- whether that person be someone from a TV show or not.

I had written something but then I saw Prisonero6's post and she summed it up much better.

I don't want to see Omarosa profit from all this. (Nor, do I care to see her on TV at all anymore.)

Oma in shower washing her hair...pan up to the shower head...it starts pelting her with little plaster beads......then we hear....OH OOOHHHH OUCH...Ouch...OH OUUUUCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Pamy - now that I may like to see. But only if she's also hooked up to a machine that every time she says "she called me the 'n' word" she gets zapped.

now that could be Omalicious

Prisoner- you underestimate kids. Mine thought Omarosa was a riot and also thought she was a nut. We can be entertained by the Omarosas of TV land but we wouldnt be stupid enough to hire her. I actually see the plus side to Omarosa being on TV. At least nobody can say they didnt know what they were getting when they hired her. She shot herself in terms of the corporate world. If she wants to go hawk hair color, she can knock herself out. Keep her contained doing commercials.

I actually think Omarosa would be great for herbal essence. I bunch of pretty girls that I don't know hinting at an orgasmic experience while in the shower by themselves...Then there's the whole O thing Organic - Omarosa. I don't use it. So I don't care. I hope she gets rich. Then maybe she'll be worth suing. She does have nice hair.

In my opinion this is no more objectionable than Ozzy Osborne hawking Pepsi, and being invited to the White House Correspondence dinner(i hope that's the event). But I don't care 'cause I don't drink that. But they better leave Twizzlers alone. I don't play when it comes to Twizzlers.

I think Omarosa is now on the Bachelor going by the name Trish.

It was interesting that no one mentioned the long line of people who were still waiting for their Meeting with Jessica. It had to have been a disaster when TROY miscalculated the amount of people that were booked to come thru.

If I had a special VIP pass for an autograph signing I'd be furious lined up standing in the waiting room only to find out the "Star" had already left. Surely this negligence should have been talked about when DT had the over the table meeting with the Guys.

I didn't realize that Bill and Kwame had a "rivalry" and "bad blood". (it was Bill and Troy that was mentioned in that one episode)

An article in the NY Post said this:
http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/18959.htm

The intense on-screen rivalry to work for The Donald spilled over to the postshow press conference, where the bad blood between Jackson and Rancic stayed true to form.

"Bill is a square peg in a round hole," said Jackson, who has already lined up a one-week, $25,000 stint promoting a new product for KFC. "He might not fit into corporate culture."

Rancic begged to differ.

"I think I can fit in and adapt to any environment," he said. "I completely disagree with that statement."


Tonight - Bill is going to be on Jay Leno, and Kwame is going to be on Conan O'Brian.

it doesn't sound so much like rivalry and bad blood to me. just 'big talking', as there has been at every board meeting!
sometimes (a lot of times?!) the media will make a big deal out of a not-so-big deal. if they don't have a story, they make one out of scraps!
i really never saw bill and kwame as 'evil' rivals, just rivals. any last 2 people standing would have been 'rivals'.
can't wait to catch leno and o'brian to see what's up today!
thanks for the article!

can anyone explain when the transition from taped Board Room went to live Board Room?

I watched it several times and George, Carolyn, DT, Kwame and Bill all looked exactly the same from the first time they entered the board room.

Was the entire board room live in the NBC Studio? And the "employees" were giving their input 6 months after they finished taping?
And then they ran back to change into new outfits to come back out in front of the audience?

And why wasn't poor Robin at least introduced?

Luvmykitties, the transition happened when Bill and Kwame "entered" the boardroom the last time. The taping ended with them walking thru the door (as shot from the lobby) and the live show began (as shot from inside the boardroom) when they walked thru the door. It was done so smoothly that it was hard to tell. However, when it was announced, "Bill, you're hired" then the walls came down around the "boardroom" where the live audience were. Of course, DT, George, Carolyn, Bill and Kwame all had to wear the same clothes in the live finale as they had in the last taped scene in the boardroom.

thank you Starshine. I thought that it was the last entry into the board room that was in the studio.

I kept replaying to check out everyone's hair - especially Carolyn's to see if I could see any change. Carolyn's hair has looked different in her various appearances lately (looked like she had it cut), so I was surprised that they could get it to match so perfectly!
I looked for jewelry changes, any shifts in the ties, etc.

They did an amazing job getting them to look exactly as they did 6 months ago.

did anyone catch Access Hollywood yesterday?
When O compared herself to Donald Trump? (at the after party)

Billy Bush asked her: "are you delusional? Are you nuts?"
She replied that everyone said that about DT when he decided to go into Real Estate in the 80's. They called him nuts, crazy, evil (yes, she said evil) and that's what everyone is saying about her now.

check out this article:

O will open VH1 DIVAS.
But Clairol sounds like they are pulling out.

But Omarosa isn't everybody's idea of a corporate role model. “Apprentice” sites were abuzz yesterday with angry fans who don't want Hollywood to reward Omarosa. “I can't wait for her to actually start being a spokesperson for [Clairol], so I can boycott it!,” Neptune42 wrote on www.televisionwithoutpity.com. And Clairol itself seems already to be distancing itself from the fray. “I want to emphasize that the reports that Omarosa is our new spokesperson are wrong,” says company spokeswoman Francine Gingras. “All we're doing is taking some film of Omarosa to see if we can leverage that love-to-hate-her personality into something useful. “We may never even use it.”
