Buggles, WELL SAID! Fortunately, I am not the only one who views the womens' situations as "catch 22!"

I do disagree what most people have said about Omaraosa. She is a bit abrasive, but is a directly reflection of Donald, himself! It could very well mean that he is pressing her buttons to see if she'll cave in. I don't think she will, since she's shown DT now that she can dish it as well as take it. You never really know what he's looking for in a leader, but my guess is that he will press harder on those who have what it takes, just to be sure they are true leaders versus being fake. Hopefully, she will learn from his statements, and "modify" her responses.

I believe, too, that DT will continue to be harder on the women than on the men. We all know how much harder women HAVE to work in the business community to be seen as mens' equals. It's entirely possible that he's trying to prepare them for this, since a strong presence, keen insight, business knowledge, etc., are what works..... Not being soft-spoken, friendly, cute, etc.

Troy is doing really well. He seems to deliver, regardless of the situation. I like the way he sits back and listens to the others' proposals, conversations, and trip-ups, before stepping in to "save the day." In one way, this works, when you're in a team, so you'll be seen as the hero. In another way, it's a cop-out to let others fail so you can stand out. I'd like to see him do more one-on-one, without all the "cheesy" sucking up. He's one of my favorites, but I REALLY want to see what the man behind the smile is truly made of!

I suspect, soon, they'll finish with the team approach and begin having individual challenges. Then we'll really see what each is made of!!!

If we are to believe that all these people have made their own million (and I do) then you can't take offense at their individual methods, characteristics, or game playing...since they've all succeeded in their respective areas.
DT was originally disliked for his "in your face", pushy, cocky attitude, but the world (especially NYC) loves a success story and DT proved to all he was a winner.

He absolutely loves this show. It's a new game for him, and again he's a proven winner. His priority never was to find an individual to add to his consortium, but to once again find a winning undertaking. He couldn't care less who the final winner is...they're all capable, and it's only a one-year assignment, and if the winner proves to be of his liking, all the better. BTW his own, personal popularity has zoomed.

Just think about it, this BIG Business Billionaire, who immerses himself in high finance, deals and upscale construction, has now beaten all competitive TV shows (even the Wed. repeat).

He's the star of the show..the apprectices merely a business educated cast. I love it!

LOL... he claims it's not a combover, and wonders what all the fuss is about. His girlfriend/model says loudly that it's not a combover. Does anyone think they doth protest too much? <wink>

I read an article recently where someone was wondering if the next generation of women will backlash against the obvious sexuality of this generation (i.e. the kids of these "women").

I, too, will use my sexuality to get things. WHEN APPROPRIATE. And I don't consider a business environment -- especially a multi-million dollar business -- to be an appropriate environment.

I know some of you have dissed DT's female VP for her boring dress. However, if I were those girls, I'd take a cue from her. You can wear suits and still look fashionable and not dowdy. But off the shoulder, lowcut tight sweaters and skirts up to there are great for nightclubbing.

I'm too much of a feminist to play that game. If I were looking for a job, I'd want to get it on my merits and not on my physical assets. No matter how successful these people were before applying, it still bothers me.

From the "Public Eye" column of the San Diego Union Tribune (Tuesday's issue):

quote:

Trump to comb-over Rumors: You're fired!

New York developer Donald Trump, who has surprisingly become television's newest reality star as the demanding boss in "The Apprentice," grabbed the spotlight at last week's Oscar de la Renta show.

Trump appeared pleased with having all the cameras trained on him but befuddled by all the attention to the way he combs his hair.

"Does it look like a comb-over?" asked Trump. "I get kidded about that a lot."

His model/girlfriend, Melania Knauss, put her two cents in. "It is not a comb-over," she said loudly.

We're guessing she should know.

I think I need educatin' I always thought a combover was when a man who had no hair in the middle, let the thinning side hair grow long and then combed it over the bald middle part. Usually though, you can still see bald spots and it just looks ridiculous. So...I just don't get the talk of combovers and Trump. Where's the obvious bald spot in the middle of his head? What fascinates me is how his hair "wings" out at the back sides. Could someone explain why so many people think his side hair is covering a bald middle?

I saw him being interviewed last night on CNBC and the guy asked him- why, with all your money and fame, why don't you do something with your hair?

Trump just laughed and said with so many people talking about his hair these days, he'd be afraid to change it. Its become so much of who he is.

Then the interviewer told him that alot of people think that its a rug, but the interviewer knows its not. "Will you show them?"

To which, Trump lifed up the front part, and sure enough, you could see his hairline and it is his own hair!

I knew that was his hair but he's losing it and trying to hold on to what he has left, he should try Rogaine or something.

Did you see the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" show where they convinced a man to burn his hairpiece & trim the rest short. His family had never seen him natural before. Everyone liked it except for his mother. She wanted to appear to have a younger son. My mom doesn't like that I'm letting the grey show.

Has anyone caught the new David letterman game? He gets people to answer is it Trump or is it a monkey. He has three photos which are covered up except the top part of the head and the contestant has to uncover the one she thinks is trump. So far nobody has picked trump, they all pick the orangutan.
