I might think Omarosa was a plant who is deliberately screwing up if it wasn't for the fact that she's been this way throughout the entire game... she is a liar, plain and simple. She had a tiny piece of drywall hit her on the hair and she immediately reacts like "what was that?" and instead of moving on, she pretended to be injured. She milked her fake injury for a few episodes. She would take naps instead of working and she would excuse herself from work claiming a headache from her injury and then she'd go outside and play basketball in the street with some kids.

Those interviews sure went fast, we saw a snippet from each, maybe a minute total of everything. I wish they would show more actual substance sometimes and less build up/edited style. Just show me some actual interview footage.

Bill seemed to perform excellent just as the interviewers said. He is sharp and definitely handled the questions in a very logical and reasonable manner.

Nick had his usual cocky smile going on and I think they saw right through his pitch. I don't even think he is a good salesman, which is what they claim is his strong point.

Amy just didn't seem prepared for the tough questions, and some of them were tougher because she was a woman. They may have asked the men how they would handle a contractor, just like they asked her but they didn't show it so I don't know. But most of those guys probably have no more clue than she does, how they would handle a contractor saying they don't know anything. I think she has more to her, she just didn't show it in the interview.

Kwame came accross well, but not as strong as Bill, but certainly more professional than Nick and more prepared (probably because of his experience) than Amy.

Omarosa and all the drama she brings is pure entertainment. Trump is pimping her for all she's worth.

That being said, yes she deserves to die and I hope she burns in hell.
Yep I agree, people love to hate her, makes for great TV.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the teams members are given specific "problems" to see how the two leaders handle the obstacles. As much as I hate Omarosa she is the only one who could pull that off and nobody would question it. But I am going to assume she didn't do it on purpose because it gives me more reason to hate, and placing everything thats wrong with the world on someone is just nice sometimes. And no I don't mean that sarcastically, I really enjoy hating her and she makes it so easy.

That said I don't think Kwame handled the situation well. He should have confronted her immediately after the call at dinner. Then he should have said this to her after hearing the story from the other lady in the room.

I think Bill handled his "problem" better, but his wasn't as difficult.

According to the Boston Herald gossip section, Nick and Bill banged Amy. They had an interview with Erika.

I have to agree with this completely. After tonight (and last week's Nick & Amy honeymoon) I think 100% that Omarosa is a plant. The whole "problem" tonight was pure staged.

Yet another horrible week for the sound on this show:
[Trump's autonomous robot / Steve Hawking / Dubb-over voice] "Wow. I did not see that coming."

Jessica Simpson I was beggining to wonder if her overexposure was done. No such luck.

My dad was telling me that he had heard Omarosa had worked 4 jobs with the white house, and had been fired from all four. How she kept getting rehired, I have no idea. Anyone heard anything about this?

"Why is a manhole cover round? How many public phones are there in Manhattan?"

Manhole covers are round because they cannot fall in that way. Whats the other answer?

I read this as well. I can't remember where though. Maybe the recent People with The Apprentice on the cover?

When I was watching the episode, it seemed to me that there was no doubt that each person was having roadblocks getting thrown in front of them to see how they reacted. I suspect that each team probably has a "Mole" on it.

Anyone got those pics from FHM? I must have missed them when it came out.

BTW, Nick and Amy were on the Today Show this morning, and said that they dated briefly after the show was filmed, but are not dating now. They called it a "show-mance".

Certainly has that appearance. Plus you would have thought that there would be an incentive given to the team members whose leader was chosen The Apprentice - say $5,000 or $10,000 or something.

All I can say is, if Kwame wins I'll never watch the show again. EVER. He's done absolutely nothing the entire show.

Well, they don't necessarily want an "answer" per se, but they are looking at how you would go about figuring out an answer to such a problem given a limited amount of time. It's the same with questions like "How would you move Mount Fuji?" and "How much does all the ice in a hockey rink weigh?" Companies like Microsoft and Intel are known for asking questions like that to job applicants, to get a sense of their problem-solving skills.

Trump isn't trying to find the person who played the game the best, he's looking for someone who can run a business the best. Kwame's obviously good if he lasted this long.

His lack of people management skills will be his downfall after last night's episode. Assaroma's failings should have been dealt with swiftly & painfully!

Yeah, she should be dealt with, but what's Kwame to do when she blatently lies to his face about what happened. His lack of management skills was shown more when he chose her to be on his team. She's still bitter that she was fired.

He said he can't fire her.

Well...I'd have made her Vice President of Pencil Sharpening.

I'd win with the other two.

Unfortunately, I doubt the show gave him the option to do that.

There was a Trump clip at some point in the show that was titled something like, "It's not always a Dog eat dog world"

Anyway, Trump talked about how important loyalty is and if someone is not loyal to you even once, that person should be fired. He stressed loyalty.

I'm wondering, is Disgustarosa a plant to test how Kwame reacts to people who are not loyal? Or is this going to be a key point in why Bill wins (because Kwame didn't get rid of her the second he discovered she was saying one thing but doing another)?

By the way, that Disgustarosa website is disturbing. The photo galleries made my cringe. Bill Clinton, Al Gore, then a 'Celebrity' section. Plus, the cheesy pictures of her in the upper right hand corner of the pages - whoa.

More importantly why did he (Kwame) not speak up when Troy asked who was on the phone at dinner and was rebuffed? He should have gone head to head and said "I want to know if it had anything to do with this project and what was it about."

Then he speaks to the lady about the messed up plans on the phone and she tells him that she spoke to Omrossa the night before. Omrossa then says different. Who should he believe? The hotel (Trump) employee or her. He is just ignoring the problem because I think he is afraid to confront Omrossa, that will be his downfall.

He should have went down to the ladys office with HIS employee and with both of them in the same room gotten to the bottom of the story, that is what Trump would have done.

It has absolutely nothing to do with diversity. I've watched the show--there were a lot better people than Kwame on the show. Let me ask you this--if the contestants came straight in with their backgrounds and education hidden, would kwame be here? Absolutely not. He should have been fired the first episode, lol, for picking the worst location ever. He's basically been the invisible man--don't do anything so you can't be blamed for anything, and just slip by. That's why I would not watch the apprentice again if he was picked--if where you come from (like the fact that troy was from Idaho seemed to factor against him) and your education makes more of a difference than what you actually do on the show, then what the hell is the point of the show?

Oh, sorry. You could see how I could misinterpret that though.

The kindler, gentler Groucho strikes again. An apology, what's next, das Monkey coming along and making up with April?
