Those short skirts brought back flashbacks of Melrose Place. Very unprofessional!! I also think Katrina is acting very unprofessional by talking about Amy's sex life on the tabloid shows. That is just childish in my opinion.

SBW, the answer is "themselves short" (pun intended).

Katrina was on Greta Van Susteren last night. She looked very pretty. Lots of highlights in her hair gave her a more blond look. I was surprised though, at how she acted. She really is enthralled with herself. She said it was she, not Amy, that thought of the advertising on the carts, she said she also sold more paintings than anyone else, she sold more water than anyone and that the car dealership had agreed to give them a car before Amy spoke up and changed it to a weekend lease. Then she went on to list all of the offers that she had received-------way to numerous to go into here. She seemed to be exhibiting Omarosa charactaristics, and I was sorry to see that. Anyone else catch the show?

I saw Katrina on Greta last night too, and what bothered me was the fake smile she plastered on her face after every answer. Her answers were planned and she knew exactly what she would say and how she would repond, then after the thrust of info, she would paste the smile back on her face.

She did remind me of Omarosa, especially when she talked about make-up, her hair, and her legs getting a lot of publicity and the options she has to exploit them.

I really like Amy and thought she was pretty bad in the boardroom, but it was her first time there. She had no idea what to expect and wasn't used to The Donald criticizing her. All she had heard from him were compliments. Hopefully this will force her to refocus and not have such an ego about herself in this game so far.

I also think she has definitely hurt her standing with Nick due to her comment that Bill is her strongest competition.

I won't be surprised if Kwame ends up winning. I say that because I have noticed some parallelism between ANTM and The Apprentice. The way Shandi was portrayed vs. the portrayal of Yoanna. Kwame's been under the radar all this while. Troy wasn't punished for not bringing his best friend and buddy into the boardroom; nor was he criticized. We don't see Kwame being whole-heartedly involved in their tasks. He doesn't exert strong leadership. Maybe they're purposely editing it that way, so that it would seem like it's impossible for Kwame to win the title.

Also, Nick is seen as the best favored, yet we're expecting him to be fired next week.

I expect Nick is fired next week. Amy won't last long after that. Bill acts too nervous, wimpy sometimes, and not very cooperative to assume that title.

I would choose Troy over Kwame, but who knows? Well, the shock may even be the nervous wreck Bill wins the show. Hehe.... Nonetheless, I'm hoping Troy wins.

I missed the show. I hope I can catch it on Wed! I did read the whole thread about the episode and the nbc recap. For those of you who asked about the kid, the nbc website talks about him a little.

"Protégé wanted to have a novel and exciting attraction to draw a crowd so they met with the executive producer of the Ferco Brothers Tiger and Illusion show, who just happened to be a 10-year-old wunderkind. The kid agreed to let Protégé use a one of their tigers and some dancers in a cross-promotion. After they had agreed, Troy continued with a little sweet-talk about how this arrangement would be mutually beneficial, but the kid cut Troy off and said, "Let me give you some advice in life: Don't sell when it's already sold." And Troy stopped talking."

A 10 year old executive producer! Pretty cool!

Someone mentioned that Troy hates Bill. I never noticed anything like this in previous episodes, did something happen in this episode? I'm curious.

I didn't get any strong feelings about Troy not liking Bill. It was very clear though that Bill does not like Troy! But then, he's way to uptight to enjoy someone so loosey-goosey.

Didn't Nick get all bent out of shape about the autograph thing too and then ignored everyone and stopped really trying to get people to come into the restaurant?

Needmylife, ITA about Troy's patronizing way of getting rid of the other team's models. It make my skin crawl to hear all the "sugar, darling, honeys" coming from his mouth. My opinion of him dropped considerably. It gave me bad flashbacks of when I used to work with men like that when I first started out in banking way back in the dark ages. No man should ever talk to a women in that way in a business environment. Is that the way Troy talks to female workers at his business? It could have been handled in a much more professional way, hopefully DT saw this footage.

OK, I'm a sceptic. I thought that Amy was kept because of her pretty face and her quasi-relationship with Nick - makes for 'good' TV.

Gee, what other Trump-products will be advertised?

Just saw George and Carolyn on Jay L. They were both very personable. George is a lawyer, I don't think that had come out before. Carolyn had on a short black dress and high spikey heels and seemed very outgoing and fun. I think she liked showing another side of her personality.

Shoot, I wish I had seen that. Fell asleep early tonight.

I read in the news that some of Trumps businesses including the casino's are not doing so hot and need a cash infusion to continue operations. Can this show survive with a beleaguered zillionaire? Can Bill Gates fill his shoes? Bwahahaha. :-) Just kidding.

Carolyn also said that Omorosa is "not very credible." Take it for what it's worth.

There was an article in People about the Apprentice. Carolyn was interviewed. She said that people are always shocked that she is a young as she is (36) cause she looks older on tv. She said she felt it was important to have a "standard of dress"....gee...wonder what she meant ;)

I just love that Carolyn. My husband and I were just discussing last night how it would be to have her for a boss. He would hate it, but I would LOVE it because she's so direct. Oh how I hate wishy-washy people dressed up in business suits. Give me cut-and-dried, like-it-or-lump-it ANYDAY! I'm still not clear on what exactly she has done in her capacity though.

I was standing on line in the supermarket today and there was Star magazine and on the cover an article about Omarosa. Well I would never buy this rag. I am not however, above searching it down on the web:

THE APPRENTICE VILLAINESS OMAROSA EXPOSED!

Is she a liar? A cheat? Or the next media superstar? The hit series' most controversial contestant hits back at her critics


Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth
She may be the most hated woman on television -- and she's not even on television anymore! Love her or hate her, you can't ignore Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, the most talked-about personality from the smash NBC series The Apprentice.

Omarosa's had nasty interactions with her fellow Apprentice contestants, and former co-workers in Washington, D.C., have claimed she's lied on her resume. But now, in an exclusive Star interview, Omarosa has come out swinging. "I'm a diva, and I'm proud of it," Omarosa, 30, tells Star. "More than anything, I'm a tough businesswoman. Ambition is my middle name. Discouragement motivates me even more."

1. Her Gritty Past

Omarosa's drive was fueled by her upbringing in the crime-filled housing projects of Youngstown, Ohio. "I come from the toughest streets," she says. "I clawed my way out of the 'hood, where you try to survive in order to accomplish your goals. I have a certain urgency; failure is not an option for me." After earning a communications degree from Ohio's Central State University, where she was a star volleyball player, Omarosa then got a master's degree from Howard University in Washington, D.C., and worked in the D.C. office of then-Vice-President Al Gore.

2. Lightning Rod For Controversy

Omarosa seems to have her share of detractors from her time spent on Capitol Hill. "She was not well-liked at all," says one ex-co-worker. Another has even accused Omarosa of embellishing her resume when she applied for a job with the federal government's Commerce Department. "She billed herself as a senior adviser [to the Vice-President]," says the co-worker. "That's a lie; she was a scheduling correspondent."

But Omarosa stands by her claim. "I am not a liar," she insists. "It's ridiculous that I could accomplish half of what I have and be called that. And no one in their right mind would say, 'She's a terrible person -- let's hire her and promote her!' "

Outspoken Omarosa seems to be a lightning rod for controversy. After she heard the dreaded catchphrase -- "You're fired!" -- from Donald Trump, she went on the morning show The View and accused an unnamed fellow Apprentice contestant of using a racist slur against her. Co-contestant Ereka Vetrini came forward the next day on The View to refute Omarosa's claim. Could Ereka now take legal action against Omarosa for defamation of character? Famed New York attorney Raoul Felder tells Star: "If I were Ereka, I wouldn't count on any money. Defamation has to be spread publicly -- and Ereka seems to be the one who spread it by coming forward and identifying herself."

3. Her Secret Soft Side

Despite her take-no-prisoners mentality, Omarosa does have a soft side, especially concerning her husband of nearly four years, Aaron H. Stallworth, 27, president of a scholarship foundation for inner-city youths. She tells Star: "He proposed to me on Christmas Eve. Aaron got on his knee and read a poem that ended with, 'the rest of my life, I want you to be my wife. 'When I was going to do The Apprentice, he told me, 'Sweetie, be careful!' His first response was to be protective." The couple, who live in Washington, D.C., with their cats Prince Charming and Beauty Queen, had a health scare recently when Omarosa found a lump in her breast, which fortunately turned out to be benign. "My family's been plagued with cancer," said Omarosa, who lost four relatives in the last decade to the disease. "I've always lent my support to cancer events like the [National] Race For the Cure."

4. Unstoppable Ambition

Since being fired from The Apprentice, Omarosa claims to have numerous high-profile deals on the table. "I'm in negotiations for a featured role on a new TV sitcom," Omarosa tells Star. She also claims to have a book deal and a fashion line in the works. "People like Donald Trump are great because they have that internal drive," she says. "I have an internal drive to be the best I can be. In fact, I could be the next Martha Stewart!"

Hey Omarosa, "Go to jail, go directly to jail. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200." Sure, she can be another Martha Stewart. Would relieve us of her company for a while.
