Good points, Buggles. Though I'm not really a big Nick fan, I do like the way he encourages his team members and has something positive to say to each of them. That's the best way to lead! Glad to see some of the guys (if only two of them) finally have some success--and they didn't have to use sex to do it!

On the subject of what to sell = I agree with Tobor7 for drinks. Also, any kind of food = Kettle Corn, would have been a great choice. It is illegal to sell designer knock-offs. That would have been real interesting!

Not sure if this has been mentioned but, when asked on the View and elsewhere, Kristi said her very fav person is Amy and her fav male is Bill.

Ok, this is horrible...

Which one is Amy and which one is Bill?

Why don't any of these people (with the exception of Omarosa and Sam) leave a lasting impression?

If I had to choose, I'd pick Amy and Omarosa for the women and Bill for the men....I can't stand Nick, he rubbed me the wrong way with his pouting over the Planet Hollywood task, and he got in touch with his inner snake when Sam was fired.

Bottom line....I'd rather have four extra weeks of Sam than this jerk.

Am I the only one missing Donald's signature hand movement when he says "You're fired!" ???? Every time they show a preview for the following week I get all excited because they show him doing it and when it comes time..he doesn't do it..grrr That is my favorite part of the show!

originally posted by Maris:
Even better did you notice at the end of the meeting with George Steinbrenner that Tammy approached him almost as if to hug him but thought better of it

LOL I noticed that too! It look a little awkward. Maybe she thought he was going to hug her, but I mean come on, he didn't include her in the pretty girls comment.


What exactly did Omarosa and Heidi contribute to this project. Alot of whining from Heidi and a lot of nothing from Oma.

A final question: Who was it that kept on referring to their butt, "I asked her to watch my butt... or I didn't want the money to fall out of my butt" What on earth was that? I mean come on,if you are so concerned keep it somewhere else!!!!

I laughed out loud when Oma. mentioned someone asking her to "watch their butt" so they wouldn't lose money.

Thanks Babyjaxmom :-) I agree that's that's the best way to lead, and Nick seems to be most respected team leader so far. DT has obviously taken notice of this.

Nick clearly seems to value women, the mark of a true man, whereas Bill says on his vid clip 'it's a boy's world' :-( What is he trying to imply? He should win because he's a 'boy?' That women should get out or won't be able to compete?

DT made a point in the first episode of saying how many men his female sidekick has left in her dust. He plans on having his DAUGHTER (& sons) take over the business someday. He's clearly impressed by what women can bring to the table, and nodded to Nick 'Aren't things better now that you're working with women' or something to this effect :-) My feeling is he really wouldn't want to hire a 'boy' with Bill's attitude.

Also interestingly, Bill made his personal fortune in tobacco & DT is 110% against smoking. He's NEVER had a cig in his life & forbids his adult children to smoke (LoL).

Unless Bill dazzles us all later on, or everyone else screws up royally, I find it hard to see DT choosing the sexist tobacco pushing boy in the end.

so far, i haven't seen the WOMEN value women. up to this week, they did every challenge with sex. they set us back 30 years :-)...so the 'boy's world' comment didn't bug me too much, considering the group of women we have over-all on this show.

i just don't care for nick. he knows what to say to DT, but i don't see him out there with any great ideas. however, right now, i don't care for a lot of them!
as of this week, i really only like amy and bill. we'll see how it looks week to week, though!

some people appreciate a good cigar with their cognac after dinner. me, i can't afford the cognac to start with! i can't believe how many cigars ahmad smokes on the MOLE! they aren't great for you, either, but most people don't inhale a cigar or smoke 20 to 40 cigars a day! my husband doesn't smoke, but i wouldn't have a problem if he had a cigar friday nights after dinner at the elks lodge or something. an occasional pleasure rather than a nasty habit.
after all, i have dessert once a month or so :-)

I see your points Tabby :-)

Amy is the only woman who seems to be consistently professional & cooperative with her teammates. Believe me the rest of them I can't stand & I agree that Bill is looking preferable by comparison. He has been so quiet though, it is hard to judge.

As for Nick lacking great ideas, I see what you mean. But I think he gets major points as a leader for choosing to implement the women's ideas. It seems he knows a good idea when he sees one, and a bad idea when he sees one. I would rather hire someone like that to run my company than the person with the occasional flash of creativity but lack of judgment. That person can be an underling! Let Nick lead and pick & choose among his subordinates' & clients' & subcontractors' etc ideas, and be secure enough to give them credit :-)

I wasn't judging cigars or smoking btw... I was simply relying DT's beliefs. He got quite upset on 20/20 last nite at the idea that his children may have tried cigarettes. He has never been a social smoker & does not want his children to be either. I just think it seems a bit of a stretch for him to choose the tobacco peddler, but maybe he wouldn't mind... I don't know :-)

I really haven't seen anything from Bill that has impressed me, including what little vibe I get from him. If others want to open my eyes to his greatness, I'm all ears!! ... erm, eyes :-)

I love this show!! And I am a huge Omarosa fan! WOOHOO She is my favorite to go far on the women's side and Troy (country boy) is my favorite on the men's side I hope she does well with the next episode.

It's been a while since I've been excited about a reality show (i'm done with survivor) so this is my new thing now. Glad to hear it's being renewed...as if there was any doubt.

Nathalia! Thanks for putting the spotlight on his "signature hand motion" when he says, "You're fired." We've perfected that hand movement around the house in the past few weeks and it is a big joke around here. (Even though you have to really struggle to keep it from looking like an effeminate affectation.)

Did you ever notice how DT over-emphasizes the letter "L" (good ELLLLuck) or "R" (neverRRR) LOL

I find the challenges a bit lame... selling at flea market?? Where are the big corporation gambles I was expecting to see?? I hope they'll come soon otherwise the game is getting boring for me.

The men lack zest... but the women are using cheap tactics and that's a turn off for me.

I liked the way Trump ..."traps" them in the boardroom, he really makes them look naive and inexperienced, like Om... replying she was disappointed in his choice when in fact Trump didn't make a decision yet and told her so... she may have said to herself... .ooops!!
If Trump wasn't set on that girl going, Om could have blown it right there... jumping to conclusions is a no no.
Heidi was too agressive... but that's okay for now, when there are weaker people to get rid of first, but she has to become a bit more diplomatic...

one thing that bothers me about the show is how dark (foreboding/foreshadowing? LOL) the boardroom is. i keep waiting for them to turn a light on.
it's not like we can't see the donald's hair even with the lights dimmed. :-)

I always crack up when DT comes out of that door, it is pitch black in there and it seems like he is comming out of a closet

I was looking at the tape again and it almost looks like Heidi's face has been burned and she has had reconstructive surgery.

I never could put my finger on what made her look odd but last nite I notice she has no eyebrows, she paints them on, and she paints them way too high.

She comes across as rude and abrasive, I think she will go soon

I'm looking forward to Heidi getting fired myself. Katrina seems out of league too. I mean, when she was team leader (& her team won) she totally let Kristi run the show. If Kristi would have been team leader in "her element" she would prob. still be around.

I'm with TXdeb. Can't wait for Heidi to get the boot. You gotta ask yourself... "Who would ever really want to hire her for anything other than a hit man?"

So, how do they do the team leader choosing? If you've already been "leader" are you up again, or does everyone "lead" b/4 others "lead" a 2nd time? At this point I would think the teams only want the strongest as leaders. Can they even risk going to the board rm just to see if someone sinks or swims? I say NO! I see Heidi, Tammy, & Katrina coat tailing it as far as possible. I wander if they'll re-group every wk until they make it each man/woman's own ballgame. I am so liking this show!

Since MB created it I would think eventually they will merge into 1 team and compete individually

Pamy, I see that too.

I like this show and am confused that I see Trump as being compelling. The hair is distracting. I am sure this has been discussed but cant take the time to read. He must have at least 12 people in his life saying give up the comb over. (including his hairdresser) Ah well. I like the guy. Who knew.
