No more Carolyn on "The Apprentice..."

Looks like Carolyn will not be on "The Apprentice" anymore, since she got her ass fired from the Trump Organization. Bummer. I really enjoyed her snarky remarks. Could be the beginning of the end of "The Apprentice."

There's a weird bit of karma in how her notoriety came from a show that featured weekly firings, and then she gets fired 5 "seasons" later.

She was such a "yes man" to Trump, I wonder if she started telling him no.

She'd have a huge SH suit if that were the case (unless she's been bought off for her silence on such a situation).

She's been replaced by his daughter, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. will be replacing George when he cant be there. It's filmed in LA this year, making it harder for George participate.

I didn't mean sexually, just that on the Apprentice I noticed she would have one opinion about who should be fired and then when Trump fire someone else she was always like "You absolutely made the right decision, rah rah rah."

I would think her little taste of fame might make her sick of always agreeing with him so maybe she started butting heads with him more in their business dealings.

I think that Donald firing her and replacing her with his relatives actually undermines one of the basic points of the show. If anything, the Donald is saying, hey, you're pretty much a placeholder until i can promote one of my relatives...

The biggest surprise from the story is that she's 36...I would have guessed late 40s.

Pursuing other business pusuits while neglecting the one you're being paid to do will get just about anyone fired. That's assuming that those circumstances are accurate.

Time to write a tell all book about Trump and appear in Playboy.

I'm surprised there is still this much demand for her as a "celebrity from the Apprentice", so to speak. I could understand her having all these bookings in the first few seasons when the show had a lot of buzz. But I would've thought it might have calmed down a bit lately.

I would still be more likely to get up early for her as a keynote speaker than some I've seen at conferences.

Having never seen the show and having no idea who she is, I looked at a few pictures of her and the verdict is: Not even remotely hot.

Dude, Ivanka is way hot without even taking into context her billionaire lineage.

She probably did not neglect her responsibilities.

Trump probably didn't like her getting attention.

She probably realized that she had value and didn't need to be a Trump sychophant.

If Trump's filling this show with his kids, then it'll be an even bigger joke than it is.

(Fonzie's putting on the water skies...)

His kids were already in about half the episodes last year. I don't mind Ivanka because she's sexy and actually seems to be well-adjusted and have a head on her shoulders unlike the Paris Hilton types. But Donald Jr. just comes off as sort of a tool. I'd rather they had Bill Ransik be George's full-time fill in.

I thought Carolyn was one of the best parts of the series. There's nothing better on the show than the moments where the candidates were screwing up and the show would cut to Carolyn chuckling to herself.
