I would have brought in the one guy who did interviews on the day that he says he can't work. He'll do self promotion but won't help his team win? Should have brought him in and the woman who hired the comedian.

LiquidSky 03-16-06 07:34 AM

The gal who locked herself in the bathroom and cried because Brent was not fired is an immature asshole. If I was Trump and witnessed that type of behavior, I would fire her on the spot.

When Brent finally gets the boot, I wonder who they will use a punching bag? So far, no one has impressed me.

That "comedian" was horrible!!! :lol:

She was one of the contestants in Last Comic Standing. She was better on that show, but still not great.

3-20-06 Show:

That red-headed gal who looks like a walking corpse/wax figure is a real a-hole. In my opinion, she is why they lost....NOT the person who got fired (although he dug his own grave in the board room).

Now that the whipping-post has been fired, it will be interesting to see who they all gang up on/blame.

al_bundy 03-21-06 08:30 AM

i kind of liked brent before, but totally agree that he fired himself

He is living proof that to succeed in business you need brains and social skills. Personally I disagree with Trump that it will be a better team without him, unless the good footage has been edited out. the team didn't seem to let him do anything, so i don't see why they would suddenly improve without him. It will be more interesting now when they lose, they won't have a scapegoat to lay all the blame on.

^^^ I agree. The redhead was responsible for the graphic design (correct?). It's funny that she and the PM were talking about how great the design was and loving each other and all that. Turns out they lose because of the design. :lol:

In the BR, Trump said the slogan was not clearly represented or somthing like that. What was your slogan? And she proceeds to rattle of the slogan for five minutes. -ohbfrank-

The winning team's PM did a good job.

magiccmom 03-21-06 08:37 AM

It would have been pretty funny if instead of firing Brent he sent him over to the other team to prove that Brent can't work with anyone! I would have love to have seen the other teams faces if that happened~

Not seeing to many stand outs yet...

Jadzia 03-21-06 09:05 AM

Yeah, that redhead was a bitch. "That's why I'm worth millions and you make 50 grand a year." I never knew making 50 grand a year makes one a loser.

Wasn't she the stupid bitch that ran to the bathroom crying after finding out Brent was not fired last week?

Timber 03-21-06 10:14 AM

Yeah, I guess being a Millionare doesn't really make you an adult.

magiccmom 03-21-06 10:20 AM

My question is this....what qualities in Brent got him to the final Apprentice applicants? Was it for entertainment only or is this guy a legitimate success somewhere. Didn't read the bio's so not really sure.

zuffy 03-21-06 10:29 AM

Nothing special in his bio:


Brent, 30, was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. After graduating from York University in Toronto with a B.A in Political Science, Brent moved to Florida, where he attended law school at Nova Southeastern University. A Florida bar member, Brent currently juggles two jobs, working as an attorney for an insurance defense firm and handling real estate closings. Two years ago, Brent married his law school sweetheart, Stephanie, and recently obtained his green card. He believes he struck gold when he married Stephanie, as she is the best wife a guy could ask for. Brent maintains a high energy level in his professional and personal life. He believes it is important to be yourself at all times. He believes one should never forget where they came from, and even though he no longer lives in Canada, he is still a proud Canadian residing in the United States! Brent is a family man and maintains a close relationship with his wife, parents, in-laws, sister, brother-in laws, aunts, uncles, cousins and nephew. Brent's friends adore him as they say he is not only a great friend but he is a "great listener." Brent went through an enriched theater program during high school where he studied improvisation, mime, mask, and clown.

DRG 03-21-06 10:33 AM

I cannot stand Synergy. Brent was a doofus and overbearing, but I thought his teammates' behavior is much worse. They all decided to not like him from his first mistake and never gave him a second chance. It was really pretty childish the way they'd instantly disregard everything he said. I seriously can't imagine anyone from that team being a worthy Apprentice.

I really wish Trump would've said "Okay, since you all say Brent is the reason you keep losing I'll fire Brent. But if you still don't win the next challenge without Brent, I'm firing the whole team."

Yes. That's the one. I cannot stand her! As Jadzia mentioned: what a bitchy thing to say about making more money. At least Brent doesn't lock himself in a room and cry.

Agreed. Will be interesting to see what happens the next time they loose...only this time without Brent to blame. :)

magiccmom 03-21-06 11:00 AM

Now what in Brent's bio made him stand out to be an Apprentice contender????? :shrug:

Jadzia 03-21-06 11:14 AM

Don't they usually cast at least one "difficult" person a year for the drama aspect?

At least they are freshening up who they stereotype. Instead of the usual difficult black person they like to cast, this time they decided to make it an overweight man. When I first saw Brent I thought it was nice they actually had a non-skinny, pretty person in the cast, but it is sad that he seems to have only been added to be this season's buffoon.

Fok 03-21-06 01:38 PM

That red head Bree desperate house wife look a like is a total bitch. Brent shouldn't of gotten fired last night, he wasn't the reason why they lost. I was looking foward to seeing as a team leader (then he would of got fired).

It would be very, very hard for me not to clock someone and spit on them if they said that to me. Seriously, what a massive bitch.

Decker 03-21-06 07:40 PM

I dunno. I find the redhead totally hot in a "dream-on-I'm-way-outta-your-league" kinda way

TOLEN 03-22-06 08:15 AM

I told my wife. That as soon as Brent sat at the dinner table before the boardroom and said he would not be fired...he would be. Also, I told her. If he wants to avoid being fired. He should go to the meeting and shut up. What did he do?..He opened mouth before being attacked and was fired. Idiot. :rolleyes:

You could also tell they worked together to get him fired. They were constantly bitching about each others work before the boardroom. Then they get to the boardroom and everyone has praise for everyone...except for Brent.

al_bundy 03-22-06 08:18 AM

i'm glad they fired him early since it would make for a more interesting show in future weeks. He wouldn't have made it anyway.

Aphex Twin 03-22-06 05:25 PM

What was up with that English dude in bed with the 2 chicks holding him? Did they just have a threesome or something and were cuddling?

Patman 03-23-06 05:01 PM

Those 2 chicks were obviously attracted to his stuttering ability under pressure.

magiccmom 03-27-06 09:03 PM

Does anybody else think that Tammy (the Wealth Manager) looks like Sandra Bullock with black hair?
