The Apprentice

[kafka]

There used to be a thread but I guess TomKat ate it. Anyway, the show is one of my embarrassing, guilty pleasures and I watch it every season, no matter how bad it's become.

I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm the only person on the board who watches this show but, in the event that I'm not, anyone see tonight's episode? Aren't you glad both wenches were fired?

I couldn't stand Allie towards the end. She was the prissiest, narcissistic, diva around. I'm convinced she only liked Roxanne because she kowtowed to her and let Alli know that the sun, the moon and the stars all revolved around her. Seeing the two of them together was like a flashback to high school.

As for Lee, I hate how he gets wins as PM by skirting on other people doing all the work. Happens every time. Usually it was Tarek but tonight it was Sean. Yet he's going to claim credit for all the wins as though it was all his own work.

Donald Jr. needs a haircut pronto. And Ivanka, was that a white bra shining through your scarlet knit sweater?

So, who else will admit to watching this show and help to lessen my embarassed chagrin? ;D

Even the dog is too bored with this season?

Topher, my son is not to be called a D-O-G. It offends his royal sensibilities. <sniff> ;D

But yes, alas, Kafka doesn't seem interested in The Apprentice in the slightest. Not even blonde, big-breasted Ivanka made him sit up. Which is really unusual for him.

I know this is a bad show but if people can admit to Flavour of Love, I can admit to this. I just wish it had stayed the way it used to be in the first season, when they tried to have quasi-B-School-type projects. Now, it's all about product placement. I recognise that, but I'm still fascinated to see how I would try, plan or execute a particular task. Plus, there is the trainwreck aspect of reality television. (It's one of the few I watch and I don't think Top Chef is anywhere close, as disasters go.)

I'm guessing you don't watch it? India, you do though, don't you? You'd mentioned reading Apprentice recaps on TWoP, didn't you? Surely I'm not the only person out of 2,000 posters on this board who watches this? [/embarassed pleading voice]

I watch
Did you notice Donald Jr drink wine with a straw?
Donald Trump wears a Pink Bathrob.

I haven't really been paying attention to whats been going on for a few weeks, because I lost interest after that god-awful Pe-Eatza debacle. And I've had enough of Trump's arrogance and bad shouty voiceovers. I did like Tarek and Lee making fun of Charmaine during the lame Hair Cuttery episode.

I miss the first two seasons, before each episode was an extended commercial for the Corporation du Jour.

I watch it! I have missed a few episode (caught parts of them later on MSNBC), but I saw tonight's episode. Sean has grown on me. He was kinda creepy at the beginning of the season, but I find him very amusing now. I was thrilled that both women were voted off. The way they turned on each other was painful to watch. I think back to Troy and Kwame; so much genuine friendship and sportsmanship between them.

And I cannot stand Lee. His oldman mouth annoys me.

[ladymadonna]

I watched it all the time when it was on Thursday nights. Now that it's moved to Monday, not so much. I did watch last week at a request from my friend, and I thought all of the women were pork-stupid, and the men didn't really grab me either.

Allie's facials expressions cracked me up tonight, though. I only got to see the Boardroom, and I was highly amused at the way she would wrinkle up her face and gasp every time Roxanne? said something bad about her, lol.

Those two are SO hooking up.

I think I am in love with both Trump children. Ivanka more than Jr. but seriously Trump (or the nannies and Ivana) managed to raise 2 decent human beings. They both come off really well on the show although it could as always be a bit of editing or Donald put them in the mix to make himself to look better. Thats for me honestly been the best and surprising thing this season.

The actual contestants? eh, really nobody seems to learn anything from this show within their own season or by looking at past seasons and I am sick of all the bitches I can honestly count that out of about 30 or 40 women on this show about 5 have been professional and didn't get caught up in the bitchiness. The men are just as bad in some ways but it never seems to affect the whole group as it does with the women.

[Deleted]

I watch it! We love it.

Lee defo was not the reason they won last night and I think that is why Ivanka said something about Sean's performance.

Speaking of Ivanka, I am tranfixed by her hair. Everytime she comes onscreen I stare at her hair and the perfect highlights and lowlights.

Alli and Roxanne remind me of two bitchy sorority girls. Your so right about them Kafka.

I'm convinced Trump watches the film and fires and hires based on what he sees. Sean better win.

[kafka]

I'm SO relieved that several of you watch this. Thank you for coming out of the shadows. ;D

Damn, I totally missed the straw. But I did catch the pink bathrobe comment, JoJo. And how Trump has a glass of milk and a cheeseburger almost every night as he watches TV. Presumably while wearing the aforementioned pink bathrobe.... The image amuses me to no end.

December, I don't think it's editing. I've seen Ivanka in other things and she always comes off well. There was a documentary done by some rich kid about other kids all worth a bundle. She was the only one who came off as sane, grounded, serious and nice. Same in some Dateline show on Trump & his kids.

I have a love/irritation thing with Trump. I recognise all his flaws, from narcissism to grotesque self-exaggeration to a love of ass-kissing, etc. But I really admire him for how he brought up his children. There are a lot of poorer celebs or Hollywood stars who could take a lesson or two from him. I just wish he'd been as involved in Tiffani's life (his daughter from Marla), because it doesn't sound like he is.

I hope so, White Falcon. I dislike the weasly little politician-wannabe. I think Trump has made enough references to that "politician" character, that he himself may be a bit wary. Especially given his stance on loyalty, etc.

Speaking of Ivanka, I am tranfixed by her hair. Everytime she comes onscreen I stare at her hair and the perfect highlights and lowlights.

Me too. I also find myself staring at her nose a lot. I've heard she had a small nose job before she started Wharton but I don't see it. I wish I could remember from the photos if they said it was the tip or if she supposedly got the bridge thinned down. I think it was the latter because the tip looks just like Trump's nose to me.

I'm convinced Trump watches the film and fires and hires based on what he sees. Sean better win.

If he watches the film, it's only this year. In past seasons, contestants have said things which were flat-out lies or took credit for things that other people did, yet they continued on without any repercussions.

Like you, I hope Sean wins. And I'm eternally grateful Tarek got fired because the boy grated on my nerves. He's now on TWoP where he posts long things in his own thread about the show and his performance.
