Thanks, Lance -- very sweet of you say so!

I've been insanely busy at work as well as buying/moving into my first-ever house over the past couple of months. There hasn't been a whole lot of "fun time" to visit TVCH, unfortunately. But one can always make time for delicious shows like The Apprentice as we wait for the return of the greatest reality TV show of all time (Big Brother!).

I just got caught up on the recent ep of Apprentice. DT ended that show saying, "Omarosa has a huge chip on her shoulder. She feels she is superior to the others..."

That in a nutshell is exactly why I didn't care for her from day one. I tried to give her props, especially early on when she would disagree with her team's approach, but still put forth the effort during the task. I don't know if I was seeing incorrectly, or if she changed later; seeing as Heidi pointed out that Omarosa always felt fine until she had to actually carry out the task, then she suddenly had a headache, etc.

I didn't care for her solo interviews (where she was standing by the window, dressed in a white top and pink scarf). Her posture and manner of speaking was such an act of "I have so much more poise and intelligence than the others." She even mispronounced the first artist's name...he even introduced himself as Giles (hard G), and she then spoke about him (in her solo interview) as Giles (with a soft G). Maybe I already had an impression of her superiority complex, but I read into it that she pronounced it that way because of her percieved superior intelligence; never mind the fact that the person whose name it was pronounced it differently!

Is there anyone other than Amy who hasn't ever been on a losing team?

Whoami - she had real trouble with the clothes designer's name. I don't remember it myself, but I do remember she never pronounced his name correctly one time during the task. Caroline pointed that out to her in the boardroom.

Omarosa must have had eyes in the back of her head, because she was always back pedaling.

Regarding the Amy thing: If she had only been chosen the one time it would've just looked like she was the strongest of the Versacorp group, but when Nick chose her to come back it sent the message that she's the MVP of both groups. However, I can't help but think Trump and the rest of Versacorp knew Nick really chose her because he has a crush on her, and I don't think Trump respected that.

I also think Kwame made a similar mistake in the way he spoke so glowingly about Troy at the end, as if he uses Troy as his measuring stick when evaluating how the others perform. Since Kwame needs to worry about making himself look good, he would've been smarter to point out Troy's weak performance in this assignment. It may be the only time Troy doesn't perform well and Kwame passed up the opportunity to point it out in order to bring Omarosa in, even though Omarosa got the only sale. I wish we could've heard the discussion between Trump and his associates before Omarosa barged in.

Don't get me wrong. Omarosa should've been taken out a while back, but I just think Kwame isn't making decisions in his own best interest. As someone else stated he's been just skating by and the most foolish thing he could do was point out how exceptional Troy is.

I remember that Pirate. IIRC, at least that man's name was difficult to pronounce. But how hard is it to pronounce Giles, especially when the man looked you in the face, shook your hand and pronounced it for you! She either has a mental block when it comes to correctly pronouncing a person's name, or she just doesn't deem it important. And you would think with her unique name, she would be used to the frustrations of having your name pronounced wrong.

why is it that DT "killed" Erica for bringing Bill into the Board room instead of her friend Katrina, although Bill had done a better job...and yet DT made no mention of the fact that Kwame brought Omarosa in instead of his best friend Troy..even though Troy did a lousy job and O made the only sale. It must speak to DT's general dislike of O????

Yeah Whoami, I caught that Giles mispronounciation, too. The other was Isaac Mizrahi. Another thing maybe no one else noticed or cared about, but when she was leaving the Tower one day she touched the doorman. It seemed so condescending. Don't touch the doormen!

Too bad Oma had to cry and beg Donald Trump... that spoiled my image I had of her, as a very proud lady whose political skills would certainly play in her favour. I now wonder how the heck did she go ahead in her career...

Note to Omarosa - educate yourself about what you claimed you were hit with. Cement is a powdered mixture that when combined with water, sand, and stone creates concrete. So if you were hit with cement you would have been much better off and just probably have sneezed yourself into a concussion.

Love the videoclip of Troy and Kwame celebrating - that picture just says it all about how the others felt about her.

As far as next week when DT says something like "You haven't shown me anything" to the person he fires, who could that be?

Lauram,
I guess I'm a person of few words.
I was posting to see if anyone saw Omarosa on Leno and then saw it in an earlier post. How do you delete your name after you delete a message?

I saw Omarosa being interveiewed on Inside Edition. She said she was fired because "people are threatened by the strongest player." Uh... Omarosa, this isn't Survivor. Trump fired you himself!

When asked about Trump's comment about the chip on her shoulder, she said, "He doesn't know what it's like to enter a room and be the only African-American there." Clearly, she DOES have a chip on her shoulder, as she just demonstrated by her answer! She also implied she was fired because she was the only black person, and sadly, the interviewer didn't challenge that by pointing Kwame was the PM.

I'm SO glad she's gone. I bet she's learned nothing from this. Clearly she's the mostest specialist person ever, and everyone else is a fool for not seeing it.

blah blah blah blah blah. I am sure that all these wonderful quotes of hers will take her far in her quest for a career.

It truly saddens me that Omarosa was selected. There are so many other African Americans who could have helped improve the image of their community rather than worsen it. It's not fair that Omarosa was in a small way shouldered with this responsibility, but given the reality that some people will be generalizing based on what they see from her, I wish they would have selected more carefully.

It is also sad that Oma has NO flippin clue how advantaged she is because of her color. For her parents it was different, and for her children it probably will be too. This is HER time, and she doesn't even realize it.
