Oh Omarosa, you poor delusional girl. Why does she think people will buy her clothes or watch her on TV? Don't people buy products from people they respect and want to emulate not people they have "loved to hate"? And why does she think she can sustain the attention of the public more than any of the zillion reality TV "stars" before her?

Scorpiomoon, you're absolutely correct. She has delusions of adequacy!

Pamy, That's what I meant. I agree with you about that being very offensive, no question. But, I think she was playing it up and I do not believe no one ever called her that before (not even once?). I am by no means condoning using that word, just saying I could imagine O annoying someone so much that they would use it just to aggravate her. Particularly, since she likes to play the race card. By the way, the person I think she was talking about might have been Heidi. There was no mention of a name but only that she was drunk and it was 3 am. If it is true, I disagree that they would play it over and over again. They would get way too much flack if they did.

i don't believe O. if someone had called her such a derogatory remark i think it would of been mentioned by the others and the one who said it would of been called on the carpet by someone. as i recall everyone was kind of rolling their eyes at O for making a big thing out of the pot calling the kettle black remark. her story just does not fit. hope she is with another apprentice contestant sometime and is called out on it.

I haven't at all posted within this thread, until tonight of course. Here's my take: Last week's dismissal of Omarosa was weak. How funny it is that Camile(?) in ANTM and Omarosa are dismissed in the absence of a climax and during their greatest appraisals. There were many instances that Omarosa could and should have been let go, but it didn't happen. Suddenly it happens with so little climax to work with. Last week's task was one of Omarosa's strongest plays. Her teammates chose not to listen to her advice (which was well founded), but we all make mistakes. I'm just so disappointed in the lack thereof strength in Donald's choice this week. There was a case against Heidi: Her immaturity, lack thereof professionalism, and uncooperativeness. Let's be honest, there is just no way Heidi could assume the position Mr. Trump wishes to entrust in the final winner. I had no objection to Omarosa leaving. My only issue was with the timing. It seemed clear to me that Donald just gave in to the expectation of his associates, for they seemed tired of her. He had no other way to justify his decision, which was primarily that of his associates, except focus on Omarosa's teamwork. I honestly would pick Omarosa rather than keep Kwame. He is nothing to write home about. Surely, someone else must have expected a melodramatic ending with the feisty and nasty woman. *Sarcasm!* Watching the women, even those who people purport are too strong have all had a breakdown. I'm just waiting for Amy's turn. I do not see a woman winning--not even Amy. This show is so predictable. I imagine, from the preview, that either Heidi or Kwame is leaving next week. And I'm afraid Nick is there to stay.

One more comment and of foremost importance: No single person has seemed to observe that Omarosa's background is completely different from the others'. Every other contestant had experience in the business field, especially as entrepreneurs and brokers; in contrast, Omarosa is a politician ... or at least has only experienced such. What do you really expect from a politician? Does a politician attempt anything without emphasis upon his/her own self-interest? Does he/she really value teamwork as much as he/she appreciates it as a means to reach his/her end? Does a politician really do much of the work; or does he attempt to use others as tools, whilst claiming glory for the success? Omarosa was simply a practicing politician. I don't consider Omarosa a problem and will not criticize her on the same level of expectation as her counterparts. She is not a business woman. If it quacks like a duck .... uhmmm.... Perhaps Donald is to blame for allowing the two intermingle. You can count on the politician to be bought by the businessmen.... Hehe. Omarosa is a good woman in the context of politics. Much of the attitude she put on was simply a reflection of her experience in the world of politics and class. Did she overdo it? Yes, but it is what has carried her through. I think Omarosa is not half as demonic as some of you would like to portray her. She is the type that can and does get it, even though her perky nature will stay. She'll do well in life if she stays within bounds and exploits her natural talent.

lovedana i agree with what you have said about O's being fired....she should/could of been fired in different weeks....but not for her performance the week of the art dealing project. she did crack me up with her meeting about what needed to be done. of course interupting the work that "needed to be done". lol for many of the firings i think dt has been way off. be a team worker....be above the fray.....go after team mates....he isn't very consistant in his advice to what the participants should do to have favor with him.

The week Tammy got fired, I thought she should have stayed. I thought she was right to say that the team got duped. I thought Tammy should be fired, but just not that at that time. Same w/O. I thought Kwame (or any one who would have been Proj. Mgr. that week) shoulda got the axe. O was on conan last night. Same old stuff. Same attitude. She talked about her new line of clothing that would have suits with mini skirts and very low cut tops. How professional!

I watched the rerun last night. IMO Carolyn had just had all of O she could take. I think O's ability to present herself kept her alive all these weeks as far as Donald was concerned. But I think that this week he was finally able to realize that the constant "infighting" which would be a detriment to any company had the involvement of O almost every time. Carolyn, I think had tried to tell him more than once from comments I heard her make.

I heard Omarosa this morning on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and she had me cracking up. She said the same thing Lovedana said about the timing of her firing. She was very relaxed and warm and said a lot of things that made sense. She did talk a little about the editing and said that aren't most African American women on reality shows painted as B****es, and the one that was not won, but was not invited back for All Stars, lol.

If one really wants to be successful, you have to believe in your product. For that reason, I think O's new business venture should have a line in something she can really put her head into, I nominate hardhats.

WOW, Ereka was just on The View and said that she came on to tell everyone that O is a liar. Ereka says she never called O the N word and she furious that O implied that she did. She also said the O lied about the concussion and about having a phd. The host that was on Survivor (sorry can't remember her name) said that she is good friends with Mark Burnett so she called him and asked about it. MB told her that in all of the hours of film that he has, there is not one instance of Ereka using the N word. He also talked to the other producers and none of them ever heard it used.

Ereka had Star Jones on her side too (Star being the extremely intelligent, outspoken, lawyer, black host of the View). If O couldn't convince Star, then O may have been the author of her own downfall here. I doubt she can get away with such an inflammatory lie. When asked what other lies O had told, Erica also said that the basketball playing incident was NOT 4 days later as O stated. By 4 days later they were finished with the Apt and on the water selling assignment..and, as Ark stated above, E said O does NOT have a PhD although she claims to have one.

Ark, It was Elizabeth. Ereka also said that if anyone called O that she would never wait 8 weeks to mention it. She said that word does not exist in her vocabulary and the show is not a conspiracy against O.

Wow. Very interesting. O seems to be very passive aggressive, and frankly I'd rather have someone like Heidi call me a beeyotch to my face, than have somone like O insinuate I did something I didn't and try to smear my name. I'm glad the others are speaking up about her.

Trump will be on the view tomorrow, so there will be yet another viewpoint on this uproar.

The View just aired here in LA. Elisabeth said that MB "Could not confirm" [that is a quote] that anyone had called O "the N word." That's not exactly a denial; it's a non-confirmation.

Just reading this thread now. Wow, that's a pretty serious accusation O is throwing around. It's hard to believe that someone would say this on national TV if it isn't true. She's really going to make a pariah out of herself if that's the case.

Anyway you look at it, O does not come out looking very nice. I think she is her own worst enemy and she is digging her own grave, so to speak. If just one person had a problem with her it might be considered a "personality conflict" but if they all have a problem with her then it might just be her that is the problem! We always want to see people learn and grow from their experiences. Unfortunately, she shows no growth nor assumes any responsibility. Sad, sad, sad.

Is she talking about Vecepia? If so, a) we don't know she wasn't invited back, and 2) if she was, she might have declined because she has a new baby -- at least according to the baby show I kept seeing commericals for on TLC...
