So who is watching it. I think it is awsome so far. The guys are doing good but the women are just argueing with eachother. yap yap yap. Pretty good so far.

Bottom line. You can never....and I mean NEVER... outsell a hot girl with a cold beverage in her hand.
It got to the point where one of the women pimped herself out for a 5 dollar cup of lemonade.

Well if that guy would have wrote him a check for $1000 he would have been the savior of the group. It was a good risk to take.

On a side note: She's a little old for me (26), but did anybody else think the COO was attractive?

I agree. I liked the $1000 attempt too. Was he the same guy that tried to recruit hot women to sell for them?
The guy who got that store to donate all the free supplies probably scored big points.
Good show. Better than I thought it would be.

These shows always seem to start really good then turn mediocre and petty and then finally end pretty awful (average joe, anyone?)
This one seems like it might sustain more interest until the end.
I like that the donald is in charge and he makes the decisions.
The only thing... They mention that the job is only good for one year. That doesn't sound very stable. Although the pay for that one year is pretty sweet.

During the whole show, only one thing was going through my mind -
Tammy and Katrina in bikini splashing around in a water fountain while the other girls collect the cash. Bling bling.
Good show, but it felt like expensive Real World to me.

definately gonna keep watching this show
gotta love Trump's no BS attitude and his advisors are sharp as nail especially the old guy
was LMAO when Trump interrupted this dude with a question and was told that he's not finished, then Trump pretty much threw it right back at his face and said he's being a dumbass because you never say that to your potential employer
is it just me or is that Sam guy a little too dramatic, almost seems like an actor Fox hired to add spice
then there was Trump's "apt"
it's more like a gold/diamond plated mansion on a tall building
then there's the trophy girlfriend, she's a model right?

It was much better than the previews made it seem like it would be. I'm interested to see what sorts of challenges they will continue to get. Hopefully the women will get something that isn't quite so easy to win.

good show ... I like the guy who went for broke with the $1000 lemonade.
I missed the first part of the show but how did they decide on who the "leader" was and how are they going to determine which of I guess three people are going up for the chopping blocks or is it at the whim of Trump, the leader for that day, etc?
This is a burnett show so I am expecting that he pull something dirty towards the end like in survivor.

I really liked the show also. I thaught the lemonade concept was a great idea. Start from the bottom and work your way up sorta speak
You can tell the the tension between some of the ladies is going to explode very soon. Those strong and agressive personality types CAN NOT co exist
This will make for great "tv drama" in the coming weeks
PS The opening credits with the O Jay's "For The Love Of Money" was really slick too.
I like that one shot of the Don walking in slow-mo towards the camera and he's got that "yeah I'm a rich bad ass m-f look and I know it" is priceless

I really liked the show when Trump was on...I thought the Q&A between Trumps group and the contestants were really interesting
I picked the one to get kicked off, he was very smart but belongs in a lab... definitely not with people since his social skills seemed that of an 8 year old.

So it's not as if the show is under-representing those groups.

yup there's always the token minority ppl
at least they picked a havard grad not a
self made gangsta that started his own company by selling crack
...well maybe that would be even more interesting...

I watched some of this. Pretty good.
I was certainly hoping they were smart enough to realize that attractive women + few clothes = high sales.
I agree on the salary. $250K to run a Trump business (in presumably NYC) doesn't seem like a lot.
