I think the Donaold needs to just mix up the teams again because the girls' team is just too catty right now. It's amazing how opposite this season's is to last season's in terms of how well the guys and gals' teams work together.

There are so many weak players, this show is gonna stink until we weed out the dead wood. It may take a good month+

Although even The Donald said, this one was easy, they all should be easy for awhile...

Who screened these applicants, they are awful.

The "Bird Behind the Back" looked incredibly staged to me.

Anybody know if Saturday's "Encore" includes an extended boardroom?

Well Elizabeth is my girl... There is something about her that I love!

The girls are crashing and burning, and at the same time its sad and funny. Everytime they lose, the infighting just gets worse. The guys look like they are just having a good time in general, and like they've come together more as a group.

I do like Elizabeth (the only hot one, IMO), but I couldn't believe her crying. I wonder how some of these people ever made the cut.

I like how the girl who did the decor stabbed the team leader right in front of her face. Even then, the team leader didn't have the smarts to take the decor girl into the boardroom.

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

I can't recall Carolyn attacking anyone but a woman - even last year. She seems to like to tear into other women but I don't see her being as aggressive with the men. Anyway, my two cents is this show is boring and random. Yes, the PM desired to be fired but the Donald just got rid of all the "villians" so far.

I can't see any of the women winning it in the end, last season's women were a lot more stronger. It was funny seeing Bill, looked like a little boy following his parents around.

Dabaomb 09-30-04 08:36 PM

ahhhh, I forgot that they moved this from Thursday to Wednesday. Stupid presidential elections. :mad:

Oh well, I'll just watch the encore on Saturday.

Jadzia 09-30-04 09:01 PM

I cracked up when they showed Stacy packing her suitcase and she had a pack of birth control pills in her hand. :lol:

I agree she was unfairly targeted but I still think she is a little troll from last week.

Glad Jen C is gone. All those women are so catty. I'm not sure why she protected Sandy even after Sandy stabbed her in the back. That was a dumb move.

Although I thought the decor of the girl's restaurant was nice. I didn't get what the old ladies said about how they were surprised an Asian restaurant used red. Huh?

I am not sure how they were able to pul together a menu in that short time. Did they just leave it to the chefs? How did the girls know their assigned chef could cook Asian?

I think you mis-heard. They said they were surprised that an Asian restaurant had -bread-. Jen C. explained it as fusion.

My guess is that they were able to select from 3 or 4 different restaurant types (Italian, Asian, etc.) and the menus were preset in terms of what could/would be served. They basically just had to clean, decorate and then "work" the place.

The show should have given more background info. on the task. Budget, presets, etc.

Oh, ok, that makes a lot more sense. I guess I was confused since they were just talking about the decor and the decor used the color red.

I thought it was funny how Jen C. was pressing those ladies to critique the place: "What do you think of the decor?" but then she didn't like what they had to say.

Reminded me of my mom who is always fishing for compliments on the crap she buys at garage sales. "Don't you like my new necklace?" Um, no, I don't. Then she gets all miffed.

Meh. That takes time, and it's not really necessary. Last season they put the details up at the website for anybody interested. I'm not sure if they're doing it again this time, though.

mariakitty 10-01-04 01:25 PM

Stacey is irritating and I was hoping she should go, even though she really didn't do anything too terrible on this project.

I am finding the editing is giving away the losing team way too early in the episodes. When Trump gives his little pearl of wisdom each week fairly early in the episodes, it seems to target one of the teams. This week was about leadership and Trump tells us in 15 seconds what it takes to be a good leader. Cut to the ladies and their lack of leadership. Was it not obvious they were going to lose? It was the same last week. I also thought it was obvious the women would lose when very little of the men's team was even shown until they were serving up the "gay" table. We saw very little of the men setting up the restaurant as the show focused on the catty women.

I still love this show, but it's definitely weaker than last season. Trump will have no choice but to mix up the teams soon because the women's team is starting to really lack in numbers.

taa455 10-01-04 02:05 PM

Very true, maria. Last week Trump talked about staying under budget in his little lecture minute.

slax 10-01-04 02:08 PM

Glad Jen C. is gone and I hope that other schemer who sent Elizabeth in to tears for the whole show is the next to go.

She acted like she was one of the guys when they were criticizing the girls in the start even though she said the same thing they did in the boardroom.

I hope the guy's lose next week,I could watch these girls backstab for an eternity but it's starting to make the show predictable.

They did this last season also. I think I can only remember one time where they misled the audience as to which team would lose based on Trump's little "business lesson."

Count me in too :up:

I just wish she would smile a bit more. She's got that angry sexy look it reminds me a bit of that actress who was on "24" & Homicide LOS Michelle Forbes

shanester 10-01-04 03:51 PM

I could totally relate to what Chris was saying about how he hates dealing with the public but can turn on the bullshit when he has too.

100% accurate

Groucho 10-01-04 03:55 PM

I don't get all the Maria lust. She acts like she's constantly on a caffeine kick, and she blinks like 5000 times a minute.

DJ_Spyder 10-01-04 08:48 PM

Unbelieveable that Jenn C. would allow Sandy to walk away from the boardroom unscathed when she stabbed Jenn C. in the back it was obvious that Sandy's decor is what brought down the team. As for the guys it was real funny how they handled those customers who were at the gay table and were able to turn that particular situation around using sex appeal a tactic that the Apex team has yet to utilize. Does anyone know when the Donald will mix-up both teams again?

:lol: Exactly...Everytime I watch the show, I want to glue those damn things open. Also, today I met little Stacy. She works at the same law firm as my wife, and we saw her and said hi. I guess Bradford was at the firm last week visiting her, but didnt get to meet him and ask how he feels like now...
