The Apprentice 3 - Series Premiere
 

OK, let's get the party started.

"Whopper 101"

- It's book smarts vs. street smarts in the third go-around of the popular reality show. 18 candidates are divided into different teams based on level of education.

The first task: work at Burger King.

Too soon. I needed time to forget how bad last season was.

To watch or to cut the cord? :hscratch:

it is on at 8:30 tonight

thinking the same thing.... not sure i watch to watch a one hour commerical for burger king

I hate this format change. Go with what has worked in the past!

I have a feeling this season is going to suck because of it.

What's the format change?

"Street smarts vs. Book smarts" (ie, no college education vs. college education), as opposed to the previous format of men vs. women. -ohbfrank- I agree, dumb idea.

I am trying to decide whether or not to watch as well. There was no doubt in my mind that I would not be watching AI this time, but Apprentice is a different story. I am going to PVR this episode and see how it plays out.

OK, Kristen was DEFINITELY on Murder in Small Town X back in 2001 on FOX. She has died her hair black. I remember she was a real beyatch! It will be interesting to see of she has changed any. Doubt it.

I hate all these people.

:up:... I dont know if Im going to make it to the season finale. These people pretty much suck ass.

After last season's seven-hour finale episode.... yeah, don't think I'll bother this time around. Every show just seems to become more and more a showcase of Trump's ego.

Ehhh, definitely some annoying people. But I'll watch a little longer. Next week looks interesting.

Tana is definitely on my nerves already. I don't see her lasting long. I was surprised to see Todd go so quick. My initial impressions were that he was the Kelly of this season and that he'd go far. Ohh well...

I missed the complete first season of Apprentice so I can't compare to that one. So far it seems similar to season 2. I thought they should've waited longer to come back with it though.

I actually think this season's cast already seems more interesting than last season's bitchfest.

My husband said Danny looked like a skinny Michael Moore. :lol:

My boyfriend kept saying that Stim or whatever the fuck his name is (the guy with the awful greasy hair, southern accent and bow tie) looked like a country doctor circa 1883: "Now see here widow Jones, this here oil of sasparilla will get rid of your... consumption."

Street Smarts is going to win it. That's pretty much a given.

Anyone else get the urge to reach into the tv and bash Danny over the head with that guitar? In the boardroom, he came off (to me) as a 2nd-rate Tarantino - very manic.

I think the Burger King task was one geared toward the non-college team.

I had trouble sleeping last night - I was being chased by a red, polyester, leisure suit. ;)

That promo that Danny devised in front of the Burger King was hysterically awful! I loved how Carolyn called it "horrific." It did look like he was a street performer/hippie loser who just happened to plop his gear down in front of a BK.

How many lawyers are on the show?


Dam


They have one Guido guy that reminds me of Chris from last season but this guy is smarter.

Danny looks like the teacher from Beavis and Butthead.


I am still trying to get to know these people and see if I feel comfortable with them.

It is almost like the first day of school when you have new classmates and it takes you a while to get aquainted.

If I were on that college team and Danny was trying to get to to scream INCREDIBLE and sing his BS songs about sticking together I would have popped him one.

Wow, I didn't even know it was on tonight.

The attorney with the long black hair looks like Ashlee Simpson. I wonder what's up with that pink wrap thing she was wearing? :)

You guys better stop dissing the show or else you might be cut by the juggler!

I cut the cord.

Is Carolyn wearing less eye makeup this season?

I missed the first part so I have a question
So the street smart team bought airline tixs, costumes and put up signs with I guess money they received to run this task. WTF did the book smart team do with their money??? buy a guitar and reams and reams of paper.
Todd is a tool. I think all he did on the task was read reams of paper. During the penthouse segment, he must have taken a million pages of notes. What a moran.

I also will probably cut the cord since this show is really starting to annoy me with the comerical tie-in promos and the stroking of Trump's ego.

Same here. After the disgrace that was Season 2, I just couldn't invest the time. I thought the intent of the show was to hire the best possible candidate...not hire the best candidate who fits into this gimmick. I'll return when the quality of the show returns.

It was an alright start to the episode. It already seems like the booksmart team is going to have a lot more infighting and backstabbing than the other team.

I watched S2 to see what the hubub was about...I left convinced that everyone else in the world is just a hubub addict

I liked season 2 til the finale that lasted way to long, will keep watching this season

exactly what I was thinking, she even had a little skirt on when she was crying on the bed about not wanting to lose a team member like she was friends with them after 1 day, just seemed very much like something Ashlee would do/say, I wouldn't hire her as a lawyer after seeing her on the show

Couldn't stand when that Ashley Simpson girl started crying about sending some one home as well.

Glad how it turned out last night. Where's the hot chicks this season?

Are the taxi rides real? ;)

He'd make a good kindergarten teacher.

Anyone notice the ad for Hotjobs.com on the taxi at the end of the episode? I never noticed it in the previous seasons. Thought it was a hilarious little touch or jab at the fired contestant.

I have to say hearing the story about Trump paying off the guys mortgage changed my opinion on the guy. That was awesome that he did that.

I've heard that story attributed to many many celebrities over the years. I still don't know if I believe Trump.

It was an okay episode. I pretty much hate everyone. The Book Smarts had the most laughably bad promotion outside Wendy's that I have ever seen.

Snopes says the story isn't true, and it's even been updated with references to this week's episode.

(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.)

Maybe this is one of those things Trump let people believe was true long enough that to deny it now makes him look bad. But the guy put him on the spot and he had to lie or look like a liar. Tough choice for the Donald.

Wow, I missed almost the entire episode cuz I was at the movies (Coach Carter...better than I expected it to be). Neways, I've never missed an episode of the apprentice until tonight. No biggie I guess.
