Well if it was a lie then my original opinion of the Donald was right. :(

I really and truly don't believe the story. Let's hear from the couple whose house he paid off, with proof that he did it, dated a few years ago like the story says.

Boy, if Trump lied about that story on the show, then he is real scum. I mean, we all know in the best of circumstances that he's scum, no mystery there. But for some reason that REALLY strikes me as low. What the hell is he, Johnny Fairplay?

If it's a lie then I'd LOVE to see it blow up in his face and ruin the show Memogate-style.

:lol: :thumbsup:

Actually, with all the times he had them scream it, I can't believe you forgot that what they were saying was "UNBELIEVABLE!!" -ohbfrank-
;)

Geez, that guy was annoying, so much so that I'm afraid he's going to become the Jennifer of this season, skating by because no one will let him lead. Is he going to work his guitar into EVERY task??? :yack:

I think Todd deserved to go: he was leading a small team at a short-time-frame task. A lead-from-a-distance approach NEVER works on this show, you have to be willing to get your hands dirty... or covered in grease, in this case. :) What was he thinking, not training in any behind-the-counter job?

(You know, Trump looked kind of irritated when the contestant asked him about it, but the guy who asked the question was also making an ass out of himself during the dinner.)

Thanks for the Snopes link, I didn't believe it when I saw it on the show, but I have to wonder if Trump didn't feel put on the spot and didn't want to admit it was a lie on national TV. The Snopes link says it was some low-level lackey in the Trump organization who first started the rumor, and Trump probably finds himself not wanting to deny it, but he didn't start the rumor.

Also, interesting story at the end of the Snopes page about Trump actually doing something almost that nice for someone who helped his mom. :)

There didn't seem to be any likable person on the show. Interestingly enough, there's no one from Harvard on the show this year. In fact, it looks like none of the book smarts people went to any prestigious colleges.

And that Danny guy was very annoying. This makes me wonder if he was brought on the show just to stir things up...

And I would guess the Trump story is a lie, but he probably said it was true since he was put on the spot. On the other hand, he could have told them it was a lie and then had the bit editted out.

Trump is now fired.

Brain Stew 01-23-05 05:51 PM

I think the problem is that the show is stacked in favor of the "Street Smarts" team. Most Americans don't have a college degree and enjoy "rooting for the underdog."

Furthermore, it seems like they purposefully choose the best of the best in regards in to "Street Smarts" and the average in regards to "Book Smarts." These "Streets Smarts" people are really just the exception ot the rule, most people who don't go to college don't make 1 Million a year. Whereas most people who go to college easily clear the high-end of 5 figures.

Oh well, Trump gets ratings, in the end he is the only winner.

Got this forwarded to me by a cow-orker:

“SL Girl (Audrey) on apprentice is a fraud...

They're dubbing her as one of the most successfull RE Agents in Utah. Get this (we have access to the stats) she did 5, count them 5, transactions... ever. They've also said she specializes in high end deals, how is $100,000 for high end real estate?? Anyway, I know this girl well, I personally fired her from her last job. I think her unemployment ran out maybe 6-8 months ago. We've got a pool going on in our office on how long she'll last. She is so far out of her league. Anyway, I'm just bugged she's getting all this pub based on lies. I can't believe even the news is reporting her as this huge success. Nothing could be farther from the truth.”

?????

That's an insane statement.

ETA: Whoops, I misread that as 6 figures.

Still, :(

I wish! :(

dvd_talker 01-26-05 02:00 PM

i caught most of this on msnbc last night...
i missed the beginning tho - what was the deal with screaming unbelievable?
i kinda wished guitar tarantino would've played a song after losing the challenge - you know some boardroom theme music. lol.
the black haired chick is kinda hot and the girl that got urinated on by the dog has quite a rack. or if you are a steve martin fan ... iraq.
what's this weeks challenge?

nickdawgy 01-26-05 09:09 PM

I thought the Danny guy was annoying, but it was great to see everyone gang up on him, and then he's sticking around for at least another week. He should provide plenty of laughs.

This week, I think I saw something about them managing a motel or something. At least that is what Tivo said.

This show is definitely stacked against the College grads:

1) This year's contestants that are from College didn't even major in Business, and not one has a MBA (There are archeology, communications, and music majors)

2) There are NO Ivy league grads this year (A far cry from Kwamie, Jenn, Bill (West Point is not Ivy but still produces leaders), etc.) I think there are 3 grads from University of Miami (big party school)- and some other schools that I have never heard of.


Therefore, when you pick the cream of the crop of the High School grads who are successful in business - and put them against archeology students with no business experience ..... Hmmmmmm I wonder who will win?
