funny thing is i could care less why dt fires one over the other....just doing my part in changing the subject from O.

i saw posted someplace that the winner's job as president of one of dt's companies will make $250,000. i thought they would get more then that. does anyone know what perks/extras there are?

I think they get to live in a Trump apartment of some sort.

the donald said on a talk show the other day that the person really has to work at the job they get and can be fired if the donald doesn't feel they are doing a good job. talk about being on the bubble for a full year...you never quite know what the donald wants!
when i think of how many starving kids in the nyc area some of his baubles and gold items would feed, it makes me sick. not just his being ostentatious, but what a waste of money. he could have very nice trappings and still feed many poor people.

Every time they show his apartment, I remember that all the money in the world can't buy taste. Tacky, tacky, tacky!!!!

wait...how the hell can carolyn be only 35 when donald said she had worked for him for 25 years?
she looks a lot older, plus what would he have a 10-year-old child do? :-) (skip the michael jackson jokes!!)
there has to be an error somewhere.
i still say she looks like she could be george's daughter. they have the same mouth. no top lip and a fuller center of their lower lip.

All I can say is I'll be shocked if Amy doesn't win this whole thing. How can she not?? There is something 'wrong' with everyone else while she never messes up. She's professional, creative, respected, and whatever team she's on always wins.

I think DT already has her pegged as the winner, hence his comment when Nick, Bill & Katrina chose her the other week.

Does anybody remember who came up with the idea of selling advertising on the pedicabs? My DH is convinced that DT was blown away with whoever came up with that idea, and thinks he/she will win. I'm thinking it was Nick, but don't remember for sure. Anyone?

nick really lost it, IMO, when he gave all the money back to that one man. they had advertised for the morning, so they should have only refunded half of the money--and why wouldn't they have extra signs in case one fell off or got damaged...i am at a loss as to why they seem so unprepared all the time. the man even said to him when he showed up, "are you here to discuss...?" and nick told him he was getting all the money back.
it's like O. if she knew she would get lightheaded and needed to eat, she should have been one of the less active members of her team (not that she ever did much!) and she should have had an orange juice and maybe a sandwich or granola bar in her purse for a pick me up.
i know i never get on an elevator if i'm really hungry or have to go potty, cause sure as shoot, it will break down for 2 or 3 hours :-)

I couldn't believe that Katrina was upset with Bill for using her "sex appeal" for the task when all the women were doing that during the first few shows.




I was flabbergasted with that too. I guess its okay for the women to use the sex appeal angle, but not for the men to suggest the sex appeal angle be used?

whoami i think that is true. if the women made the choice to use sex appeal to BEAT the men that is ok. in katrina's eyes that is much different then bill or any man suggesting it.

Thanks, Pamy! Could Amy be the winner of this whole thing? She hasn't been on a losing team yet. DT's got to be impressed with that. We'll have to wait and see!

Has Amy led a team yet? I know she is the only one never to be on a losing team..and she does come up with great creative ideas..but has she shown leadership yet? I can't remember.

I was watching CNN and they had an interview with Heidi. They had a call in for people to vote who they thought should win and it is interesting that Amongst the women and men callers Amy seemed to get the most votes. Men also called in for Nick and Women called in for Bill. Nobody called in for Troy which I was surprised about.

WOW, I am surprised that no one called for Troy!

Entertainment weekly has a story about the final contestants, with a few words about each from MB and DT....sounds like they favor Amy.

I see Katrina being the next to go with Bill following her out the door the next show. I don't think we've seen alot from Kwami - either neg. or pos. - the DT may just like his playing style. However; my 3 picks for winner are: Nick, Troy, & Amy (not listed in any picking order).

I have a question. This is the first episode I have watched. Why did the Team which were just selling prepaid Rickshaw tickets, NOT immediately start selling advertising like the OTHER teams rickshaw?? They all saw the Rickshaw go by with the advertisement clearly displayed.
**
Are they not allowed to change directions during a competition?? I would have immediately changed my tactics BASED ON what I saw the competition was doing. That is what they do in REAL BUSINESS! Match the competition.
**************
Just a quick observation from this ONE show that Ive seen. How did Kwame get to this stage?! He just didnt seem to be 'with it' in my opinion. The others all seemed to have 'get up and go' and he seemed to be waiting to be TOLD what to do. (This might be a false impression because Ive only seen this one show)

SUNSHYNE - I think it was only an 8 hour competition and they didn't see the ad on the rickshaw til late in the competition - probably too late to formulate, sell, produce & implement an ad campaign.

Kwame has the best resume of the group but unfortunately hasn't done a dang thing as far as we can see from the editing I do think he's the finest looking man there, and he seems like a really nice guy. I think he's getting by by being liked & not annoying anyone. Plus being so smart & having worked on Wall Street, he has more slack before people feel he 'shouldn't be there.' DT seemed to want to fire him last week though I think & Troy saved him. I think Troy hung himself with the way he handled himself in the boardroom in more than one way.

Talk about chips on shoulders... Katrina has a MAJOR one imho. She is just not cut out for a group atmosphere... needs to do her own thing (like she does - being a realtor). What an incredibly catty woman!

I agree, Buggles (about Katrina). What a whiny baby! The tamtrum she threw when she felt she was not being heard was along the lines of "I'm taking my toys and going home." No wonder they don't take her seriously! She needs to grow up!

Just my opinion - When you are applying for a position like this one you should adopt the appropriate demeanour (sp?). Heidi's use of the English language was severely lacking in certain circumstances. Like it or not, women are judged by a harsher criteria and her lack of professionalism didn't wear very well...and probably especially not with another woman who has had to make her way in this very harsh climate.

Heidi should have toned it down and realized that she was being interviewed 24/7.

I have to agree, Roxip. As I said above, as much as I liked Heidi (and think DT did, too), her demeanor was not at all professional. The potty mouth isn't attractive on either male or female.

I have to disagree with Tabbyking, though Tabby is one person I most often agree with. I think Nick returning the full refund was entirely appropriate, though not the "fair" thing to do. His approach is so important in the small business world (where I live, not Trump world). It's a gesture of goodwill, that eventually will come back to the business owner for subsequent deals based on honesty and trust. What Nick was saying is, "We had a contract, we messed up, and therefore we are returning all of your money." Nit-picking about how long the ad stayed on the cab will appear to be trite and possibly dishonest. I was disappointed that Trump did not recognize that.

I'm one person who does not do business in the Trump fashion of winning and results only. I was so happy to hear Herckleperckle say earlier that the woman (sorry--I can't remember her name) who shouldered the responsibility for her team's failure would be the person to KEEP. That would be my choice also.
