The Apprentice 9/29/04

The women's team is really bad. I told y'all that Stacy is a snarky one. Jenn C was out of her league. Jenn M has a good head on her shoulders.

The leader for the women (Jen C) was crazy! She kept interrupting Trump's assistant and she thought she was playing Survivor with her alliances. Glad to see her go.

The men looked like they were having a good time, and it showed with their performance.

Jen C has a problem with just adding extraneous verbal crap to conversations. She's just wired that way, and it was a habitual thing that she could not get rid of during her stay on the show.

Are they making the show so predictable on purpose at this point so they can change it up towards the end? I thought Carolyn was going to come across the table and beat Jen C down, now that would be must see TV...

I love watching the conniving and backstabbing with these women. It's freakin great TV.

It amazes me how inept and just plain weak the women are this season compared to last. The "gay table" was a hilarious twist on the use of sex appeal by the guys. The guys are working so well together. I really like Kevin and the fact that he called the girls out on the Stacie situation, how they knew she didn't have a psychological problem but were only playing that card to save their own incompetent asses.

Oh, and (in regard to the previews for next ep)
Spoiler:
adding Pamela to the women is not going to help. It will be a disaster.

This was definitely the best episode of the season so far. The challenge was kind of eh though. The food is totally out of their hands (at least they both tied on that).

Loved the catiness.

Yeah, I liked the twist use of male sex appeal I loved that the women were called out for using Stacie J. as a scapegoat.

I still think "Little" Stacy is a toad but she did not deserve to be called into the boardroom.

Jen C. was a bitch for stereotyping Jewish people. Those old gals were picky but it doesn't mean a hill of beans what religion they are.

I thought it was a pretty good strategic move (maybe unintentional) by Sandy. The decor got terrible ratings but she had convinced Jen C she had her back. As a result, Jen C doesn't bring her into the boardroom (which was a major strategic flaw) and gets very obviously called out on it. Jen C would have done better to bring her in, letting her know she would in advance if the decor ratings were low, but that they could then work together to oust whoever else she brought in. Jen C was trying to get rid of "both" people she didn't like instead of just focusing on one.

However, I am satisfied with the result because Jen C came off as extremely immature. The faces she was making while trying to chat people up were unbelieveable. The ol' bird behind the back was pretty stupid too. I don't think she "gets" a lot of things. She blamed the customers instead of focusing on possible leadership and team flaws. Most importantly she should have been cognizant enough to realize that everything is being filmed and this is going to be on national television. As most of last years contestants showed, if you do well the opportunities will come. Maybe not from Trump but from elsewhere. Acting like she did in this episode would kill any chances of offers if you ask me.

The blonde chick that was in the boardroom looks like she is shell-shocked from last week still. She constantly looks like she is on the verge of tears. I can see her having some kind of breakdown.

Glad to see who went go. She was all over the place.

I liked seeing Bill replace George. Too bad we didn't get a reason why George was not there (at least last year they told us that he was on business - they barely acknowledged him last night).

Did Tall Pam get any camera time last night at all?

The Donald told the group that George was off handling something (I just don't recall exactly what he said). His absence was explained though.

I was waiting for someone on the women's team to realize they had just kicked off the only person on their team, Stacie J, that actually had any restaurant experience. They are teh suck.

Stacie J "the restauranteur" OWNS A 'SUBWAY' IN HARLEM -- i dont think her experience making sub sandwiches wouldve helped

They said he would fill in for four eps.

I think Carolyn has been spending some time with a beautician or a plastic surgeon or something...

...and boy has she gone on the attack!

At the beginning of the show, they switched around. 1 girl to the mens team, 1 man to the womens team.

The guy got booted.

They both volunteered. The funny thing is, the girls' team won the first task so the guy, being the PM for that task had immunity the following week in case they lost--which they did--and he gave up said immunity. The Donald found it stupid and fired him.
