If Trump doesn't see women as strong executives, why does he have Caroline sitting next to him offering insightful critiques of the players?

I watched her on the today show to and every time she stressed the word Concrete I cringed I have seen NO ceilings made with concrete in all the years my husband built houses nor have I found any in our ceilings when we remodeled! she over dramatises Just like the clip they showed of her playing ball with the kids when she was suppose to have a headache can you play ball with a headache! and she seemed to stress the race issue I agree Ladybug. It seems to me she was more concerened with race than the players?

O did NOT get a clue. Saw her on Today and she was unreal. SHe brought up the race card saying in 10 years if reality TV black women are ALWAYS portrayed as having attitude, etc. NEVER shown as loving... She was so "ugly" about it all. Not willing to take any fault. and still complaining about the "see-ment" that hit her in the head. And how she was so seriously injured. Blech. You'd think maybe she'd be like, "wow. I can't believe I acted like that. I've learned from the experience", etc.. She said everyone who comes up to her is like "Omarosa, i think you're great."

She stressed "see"-ment, not concrete.

Her attitude of superiority in the interview was the same as that portrayed on the show -- leading me to believe it wasn't all in the editing.

TABBY: (a little OT) but you mentioned in an above post that you don't like to be spoiled even when you post your picks in deadpool (or where ever) Why not post your picks right away, before 30 people can pick Sue. Know what I mean? That's what I try to do. Back OT: Did Lester Holt interview all the firees or did he just get Omarosa?

What I don't get is if she has this attitude why on earth was she touring with the Donald, or was that just a rumor.

Everything to her is a race issue. She needs to get over that or she'll never make it any where. Remember when someone said to her, "That's the pot calling the kettle black"? She accused the person of being racist. If you ask me, she is the racist because she keeps bringing it up. Funny how the others aren't against Kwame. If they were racist, they'd hate him too. JMO.

Self absorbed men/woman usually don't take blame -she sees herself as the ultimate exec and everyone else is beneath her - UGH! I'm soooo glad I don't have to watch her anymore! And I bet after that little interview DT is now happy with his decision

I'm black and I will say that she needs to put that race card back in her deck. I do not like for people to think that they can act totally disrespectful to others, be mean-spirited, selfish, and rude and then scream RACE when somebody calls them on the carpet for it. If she was working for me, she would have been fired a long time ago because she is not a team player.

Yes, I agree. I notice she was quick to use "America's next top model's", Camille, as another example of how TV makes all AA women out to be DIVA's and b#tches ..while it is true that Camille was the ultimate DIVA while on that show, they have had other AA women who were not..including one who is still on the show, Mercedes (who is the nicest, sweetest and best liked on the show). AS well, the show is run by Tyra Banks. I think O did herself no good with the example she used. It just points out how she is reaching using that excuse. Racism is, unfortunately, still alive and well in many areas. People like O make it difficult for true victims to get their say. IMHO

Self absorbed says it all, she was always so condescending in her manner. Last night was the topper, every speech from her was in this soft modulated voice that just seemed to reek of a sense of superiority to everyone else in the competition, really annoyed me. And the crocodile tears, did she honestly think they would help her out? As for the task I don't think anyone on her team did a good job, herself included, she seemed to spend a lot time professing she was knowledgable and looking down her nose at Heidi and Troy for their efforst. And where was Kwame. The other teams artist was not the guy with the hair etc in his art, it was a different guy (I actually like his work) the DNA guy seemed to have a lot of splatter painting (correct me if I am wrong but I am certain they were two different artists). And the girl Leah they all liked, I don't think her paintings would have sold all that well either, they were kitschy.

I would also add it is no coincidence that she went bawling to Kwame. She tried to use race in her favor with Kwame to save her, a total failure. Then used race as an excuse for why she was booted, never mind the fact that it was an african american project manager that put her name on the list. I am surprised that whoever interviewed her didnt raise that question. The other teams artist was the nature artist. I loved his stuff. His use of colors was great. I thought that Heidi worked her butt off to sell the art even the "toilet" art.

you are right - the artist they used was the nature genre oil painter (name blocking out) not the DNA one (Giles?)

If I were Lester, I would have asked one more question in that interview....Donald said he didn't like complainers/excuse makers...and did she think she was complaining or making excuses? . . . I know she would have replied no but that no one else got hit in the head with cement...but, her answer would have been an excuse!

i will say that i always liked alot about O, but her problems overshadowed her potential and she did deserve to be in the board room - they took a risk as a team with the artist and i hate how she said well i was assigned to be the artist perspective etc etc etc - as if that is the only task when working as a team- and once they decide on an artist, its the TEAM, all 4, who are responsible for the selling0 and she backtracked so much0 she said she did her job by suggesting the other artist because it would be better artwork but she also had said at the meeting in that restaurant something along the lines of "i would suggest leah as the artist prespective BUT meghan would be financially better" - if it paid off - so its not like she was in total disagreement with having Meghan- she plays up what she sees as her role, saying she did what she was assigned but put all the rest on the others when its time to take blame for any failure- and as many have said, that is not being a team player- so they failed- they took a risk that didnt work out but that doesnt mean that you try to hide from that- take responsiblity and acknowledge it- and learn from it, dont run away like it wasnt your fault. amy and the other one she was with (katrina or bill??) wanted leah, and said so, but as soon as nick decided on the other one, they all supported that decision and worked as a team to make it successful- it turned out to be a good decision but even the best artwork wont sell if you dont have the right attitude, as DT said- you have to believe in what you sell- and that was the biggest difference between teh two teams- no one believed in Meghans work, and even with O's "knowledge" of the art community, she was just as doubtful with the work as the others and i dont think it was a big deal that she sold the only one- after all it was the most normal one in the bunch, so why couldnt she sell any others with her savvy... and i wont even get into the lunch thing, which i totally agree with heidi about- if you have work to do, do the work - get food if you want but dont go to some restaurant if you know you are on a time crunch,,,, ay ay ay

How ridiculous Omarosa sounded trying to sell art. Her whole "snob appeal" approach was so heavyhanded and obvious. "This piece is very esoteric. It's meant for only a small number of people" or some such rot she was spewing. It really played up what I think is her main character flaw: her self-conscious and persisent attempt to project "classiness". If she has to try that hard to be classy and also make a point of bringing up someone elses lack of class then she probably isn't really all that classy to begin with--and on some level she knows it.

...Also, I love how after Omarosa tried to push the artist's work as esoteric and exclusive to the woman who bought the cat painting, the artist herself comes along and says that the main thing about the painting was deciding if the cat was "undead" or not. LOL. Oh, so esoteric.

I was wondering if it was just me that felt that! I found it SO annoying. I thought maybe I was just getting annoyed with her in general and that's why her speeches were grating on me. But I'm glad to see it wasn't just me. And her speech in the cab? WTF?
