But Mr. Trump you are wrong. I am not going home.

Will tonight's ep. be re-aired anytime?

Good show I am glad that Sam is gone now hopefully they guys will win some challenges for a moment there I thought Sam would have jumped the table and attacked Donald T. Unfortunately NBC didn't show next weeks preview since I live on the west coast they did advertise that the show will be moving to wednesday's 8 pm local time.

They're going to start airing the episodes on CNBC tomorrow.
So it looks like ep. 3 will be on next Thursday.

That Sam looks like he could be another Son Of Sam.
That look he gives at the end made me uncomfortable.

Her looks at may have helped her get to an executive position at most. But I dont think she rose to be COO by showing her stomach during negotiations or shaking her breasts during sales meetings.

The women are acting like their on a Road Rules challenge and not a job interview. Say what you want about Trump, but I don't think he's about to hand over one of his companies to someone who may pull her top off for a client to try and get a better deal.(Thats' what junior execs are for.)

Thank god! It would have been way too produced if they kept that jackass around. I would have stopped watching too.
Started rambling about that respect nonsense...what an idiot. And the way he kept on about being in a football game. Geez....if I were one of those guys I would have hung up on him.

I also liked how Kwame and Bowie ripped him a new one with all the ****-ups he made. The Don didn't seem to like that he chosed them based on that. I'm rooting for Nick.

Getting them to leave Chinatown was the stupidest thing he did. And paying $76 for a legwax! They went to a Spa in midtown. Everyone knows you hit up Chinatown for bargains....and there's a nail shop every 2 stores down there! They saved $1 on the gold.

I liked the women's team that had Amarosa and that curly haired blonde. They weren't doing that stupid show-your-stomach garbage. And Amarosa behaved herself.

Anyone notice that the one that tries to be all sexy the most is that beast that looks like she's 45 and crawled out of a trailer?

You gotta think of it like this. If you were gonna do business with this company that one of the contestants would be in charge of, who would you want it to be? If you were doing business with them, and researched them by watching the show, would you take the women that were dancing to save 5 dollars off the gold seriously?

So far all you have seen the girls do is use sex to sell, and while that may work on certain things, it wont always work. I think Troy is gonna be the man to beat when it gets down to the end.

Thank God Sam is gone. Man, did that little guy look creepy at the end when he was finally canned!

I have to agree that the women really have been doing some things that I would not agree to in order to win. Being able to use sex appeal to save some money does not transfer well into being in control in a board room setting. The fact taht so many of them have done this would not impress me if I were Trump...

I felt the same way.

Next week's looks pretty good.

I'm liking Troy more & more each week. Even though the guys lost the Lemonade Selling contest when he was Project Manager, he's shown himself to have a pretty good head on his shoulders, a focussed yet easy-going attitude, a relaxed sense of humor, and some good people skills. He also seemed to be the only guy who could effectively deal with Sam.

As for Sam: Not only will he NOT be The Apprentice, but I think he might find it hard to get a corporate job after his wacked-out behavior on the show. The look he gave Trump when he was fired would be reason enough to never hire the guy.

The look on Sam's face when he got fired, not once, but twice by Trump should be the hallmark of the show. Trump bolstered his spirits during the competitions and then laid the whammy on him in the boardroom and crushed him like the gnat he was.

I want to see/hear more of Trump right hand lady.

This set of women were grating on my nerves. Far too much drama.

From the promo I saw, I thought that the COO lecturing the women might have been about the shots it looked like they were taking earlier that evening. I'm wondering if maybe they partied a little too hard and she is saying that you don't rise up in the ranks representing Trump like that.

What I did not understand is, why did all four of them have to leave Chinatown to go buy gold? Couldn't two of them have left to go buy the gold? Leaving the other two in Chinatown to get the other things? Then the two could have quickly bought the gold and then came back and joined them in Chinatown.

I also thought it was dumb where they went for the leg wax-- it looked like a real swanky spa place. Whereas the women went to some hole in the wall "My Nails" place.

Yeah. I had problems with this too. Why did they need 3 people back at the ranch. 2 would have been fine. Then have 3 teams of 2 people each.

Because that's the way Sam the sham wanted it.

I think the other guy's did exactly what Sam told them to do, knowing that would be enough rope to hang himself with.

I'm just speculating here, but I think the rules of the contest/task may have included a requirement to split into 2 teams of equal numbers, in order to minimize the advantage the women would have had. Otherwise, the women could've divided up into 4 groups of 2, or even just sent out everyone individually.

Even so, it was a stupid call on Sam's part to keep half his team in the Tower, leaving all the running around to Bill, Kwame, and Bowie. They only headed out when it became apparent that the other 3 wouldn't complete the task without more help.

They put the rules up for each contest at the official website:

Kind of interesting. Last night's contest isn't up yet.

Don't ya mean "Tom Landry"

Wow, the women jumping around yelling "Go Tony, Go Tony" while trying to talk him down on the price of the gold was the most pathetic thing I had ever seen on t.v. . . .

. . . then I saw the men try to negotiate.

It looks like the men are stooping lower than the women next week by trying to pass Kwame off as a famous athlete and selling his autograph.

But I don't think the COO likes him that much. Troy if I remember correctly is the copier salesman? He has that sort of free and easy going attitude of a lot of outside sales guys, but if I remember correctly the COO thought the guy was kind of fake. I do think though with the guys its going to come down to Kwame and Troy.

FYI - looks like Apprentice is moving back to Thursdays. Apparently it got crushed by American Idol (why on earth I have no idea) on Wednesday. Therefore, the NBC Thursday night lineup will now be:

8 - Friends
8:30 - W&G
9 - Apprentice

Note that these times are rounded to the nearest half-hour. I'm sure NBC will continue their hokey +/- 1 minute scheduling. I wonder what makes NBC think it will do better vs CSI?

Scrubs will be moving to Tuesdays at 9:30.
