Come on! Did that woman want to get kicked off? Who admits that they can't get along with half of the population?

I enjoyed it-she was a non stop talking machine from day one. I give the PM credit for havingsome cajones and brains-doesnt tick anyone else off by bringing them into the boardroom-Melissa sealed her own fate. I also like ethe twist of the winning PM not automatically getting exemption the next week.

Although the Donald took care of the smirk on her face-remember Erin blowing him a kiss and a wink?

Yeah...I couldn't believe she sat there with that stupid smirk. What was she thinking. I couldn't believe her. If I were Donald I would have retracted my firing and given it to her for that smile. Man that made me mad.

Actually...I thought that woman would be on a lot longer. For publicity if nothing else. The first thing I thought was "uh oh...here's another Omarosa." But then I thought...hmm...good move Donald...keepin' the ratings alive. Then he fired her and I thought...wow...maybe this isn't all scripted.

I, too, was afraid that they'd keep her on just for the sake of the ongoing drama. But even Mr. Trump has to maintain some credibility, and if one of your candidates says "all women hate me and the feeling's mutual", you pretty much have to show them the door. Although as noted, the Smirk of Triumph would've made me have second thoughts if I were in his expensive shoes--I'd probably go for an arbitrary "You know what? You're both fired."
The thing is, if I recollect rightly, the margin of victory was, what, $19 or something? Had the women made twenty dollars more, would Mr. Trump still be saying their marketing plan was stupid? I guess victory makes a lot of things look better.
Finally, Ms. Thang, you're not THAT cute (I'd rate her mildly attractive), so I doubt other women are intimidated by your beauty. What a frickin' narcissist.

If the women had won, the marketing probably wouldn't have come up, since the dirty laundry was aired when only the women were in the boardroom. Too funny -"Triple XXX Threat"....what were they thinking???
The feeling about her was so overwhelming, Trump didn't have a choice. If there was someone else that took some heat, he may have kept her to spice it up. She didn't have one redeeming quality that Trump could hang his hat on.
I dont see Marcus making the cut either-asking the team how he was doing? These types of people never make it. His personality reminds me of Danny from last year. Kind of out there-does his own thing.

I liked the beginning as well, when Donald told them that there was a helicopter on the golf course. It is too early in the season to tell what might happen. I don't think Kristi is gonna make it, as well as Marcus.

When the guy asked the candidates to meet MR. Trump on the 10th green, I thought he would have them putt to split up the teams. That would have been cool.

Actually, Triple XXX Threat, a workout class they were trying to market to guys (by a team of girls) wasn't that bad. Lets face it, a lot of guys would go just to see what the XXX was all about.
LOL! When I saw how the flyer turned out, I thought "Gee, they should have gotten way more people than they did."

Yeah, it's a bad sign for Marcus that his every on-camera appearance is now accompanied by clown music.

Good riddance Melissa, what a loud-mouth, pain-in-the-@#%$^. I love those people who think other people don't like them because they are 'intimidated' by them. It's kind of like the woman who says she can't meet a good man because all men are intimidated by her. Um, you don't think it has anything to due with the fact that you have no personality, or you are extremely annoying, or whatever. You can tell that Trump had a bigger hand in picking the cast this year. They seem a lot more professional (they didn't have to bleep-out the language once) and oh yeah, the women are kind of attractive.

Man that would have been awesome to see them put for teams. And the last person to make the shot would get fired but as a consolation prize/humiliation would be Mr. Trumps caddie the entire show. "Get me a Shasta punk!!"

Although the dividing of the teams by gender annoys me still. But I think it's going to be a good season anyway!

I heard that the next "Apprentce" he was thinking of dividing by race. Can you belive that. I read that on MSNBC.com

Did any of you watch Martha's Apprentice? What did you think (the critics didn't like it).

It was Martha Stewart what more can you say. She is not Donald and I think that is what the critics were expecting. She was polite, but I am sure when she twists off at someone they will like her better.

I heart Martha, but the show needs work. She's being too overly nice - doesn't she realize we want to see QUEEN MARTHA at work? Rip somebody a new one! We know you're capable of it!!
She also needs to get a new haircut because the current one is driving me insane (those long bangs.)
The concept is good though, I definitely thought the guy who got fired - oh, excuse me, who "didn't fit in" - was a complete JERK and should have gone home. Too bad his team didn't fully explain that to everyone.
However, her "George & Carolyn" are no George & Carolyn, if you see what I mean.

I fully agree, but apparently her daughter wanted to be on TV

Of course she did.
Did y'all see Trump is PG? Expect a whole new wave of tasks. "Build the best baby changing station. Market this new, super-duper stroller. Which formula can you sell the most of?"

Well, either Chris is really not very bright or he was just tired of the game already. I can't beleive he didn't bring someone else into the boardroom, especially after Trump told him very clearly that he didn't think Chris ought to bring Markus in. Then that's the only guy he brings? He had to know he was signing his own pink slip at that point.
