What's up with Donald hating Lenny?

magiccmom 03-27-06 11:34 PM

Does anybody see a winner in this group? I am still not impressed with anyone and usually by this stage of the game there is a standout.

Jadzia 03-27-06 11:55 PM

I had to laugh at that Excedrin "Pain of the Week" contest. :lol:

Matthew Chmiel 03-27-06 11:59 PM

Despite being the wrong person to get fired, Dan was a good sport about it. :thumbsup: Too bad he's fired...

And yes, there are no winners in this group. Every person this season so far has been completely unlikeable. I can't wait for the moment everyone on Gold Rush gets fired.

Man, if I were Tarek, I would just quit at this point.

What's the use?

It is enjoyable seeing the Donald humiliate and insult him and MENSA. I think Donald Trump feels jaded for not being a MENSA member, so he just leaves him in there and makes him his MENSA whipping boy.

Lenny didn't deserve to be fired, IMO. He did come up with the idea, but it was unanimously agreed upon by the team. The project manager could have easily rejected it, but did not. I'm glad Dan was realistic and honest about it and mentioned that fact to Trump. I don't know why Trump didn't catch on to that fact. As for the idea itself, I thought it was OK (they just let anyone on the ship for free, even though the passengers probably paid thousands of bucks?), but the execution was horrible.

I was surprised Tarek didn't get fired. Also that dude Dan was an idiot for not bring Lenny into the board room.

I agreed with Dan by not bringing in Lenny. Of course hindsight is 20/20 and it looks like Lenny would have been fired. But all he did was throw out an idea and the whole team liked it. Not one person stood up and said it wasnt a good idea. How do you fire someone for having an idea? Also, I think Dan was right, Lenny and that other kid would have ganged up on Dan anyway. How did Tarik not get fired? That was strange to me. He has been in the boardroom practically every losing week they had and Donald has a huge problem with him being Mensa, it seems wierd that Dan went before Tarik?

Does anybody think that Tammy looks like Sandra Bullock with black hair?

LiquidSky 03-28-06 12:04 PM

That red-headed wax figure was a b*tch again this week. Glad the PM called her on it. I cannot wait to see her get the axe. :)

Yeah, Tammy does look like Sandra Bullock.

maingon 03-28-06 12:12 PM

Lenny was the only one that said that the font was a bad idea, hes usually right he always brings up stuff that makes them end up loosing. Charmaine is my favorite very hot and seems like a good leader.

dre123 03-28-06 12:56 PM

I know one thing I am sick of seening people crying on this thing ( although it would be funny to see one of the guys cry). In the previews it looks like someone else is going to be in tears at some point next week.

4/3/06 Episode:

One of the dullest episodes I've seen. Let's write a jingle for Arbys natural chicken!

taa455 04-04-06 07:50 AM

This task was one of those much more geared to pure advertising for the sponsor rather than showcasing abilities of the candidates. The idea that the one jingle was inferior because it didn't mention "only at Arby's" was pure BS, imo. It's frickin common sense that the crap is at Arby's when they say Arby's like 20 times in 30 seconds. Do they think consumers are that dumb that you have to say "only at" or the jingle is worthless? Who is going to hear an Arby's jungle and think "hmm, I wonder if I can get this at Burger King?" Stupid.

The PM let his personal feelings interfere with his decision on who to take to the boardroom. It was one of those "save my friends and people I like" decisions. It was quite funny to see Bryce and Donald bickering at each other.

All the fawning over Sean and his accent has got to stop. :yack:

Agreed. I thought that blonde Barbie type was going to have a go at him right at the table.

Tarek stating that he has been brought into the board room because people are afraid of him. :lol:

Hey more power to him - I think 2 weeks ago he was in bed with 2 chicks.

zuffy 04-04-06 09:32 AM

I guess Caroline and Bill has been sucking Donald's d*** at every board room. Geez, firing Lee is the easy choice, not Bryce. The dude haven't done shit since the season started. If you're religious, don't apply for The Apprentice if there is schedule conflict with your Holidays. It's just BS to leave your team hanging.

Fok 04-04-06 12:04 PM

As long as they keep Charmaine around then I'll be happy :drool:

magiccmom 04-04-06 12:57 PM

Thought the whole theme was pointless. Didnt give anybody a whole lot to do but rhyme words. I actually thought Donald missed the boat on this one...Donald saying Lenny is on thin ice and but he fires Bryce. I guess no idea is better than any idea at all??? I admired Bryce for sticking to his guns about not having anyone to really blame, and for a moment I thought no one would be fired. But I think Bryce was a bad idea to fire and it should have been Lenny. 14 years in America and you cant come up with anything? What a copout!

Has anyone else notice was an a**hole Bill has become. Does he not remember what it is like to be in that position? What a jerk!

Aphex Twin 04-04-06 01:42 PM

Bryce had to be fired because Trump knew he wasn't there to win. It'll be a horrible show if you have one contestant just trying to be friends with everybody and not have the balls to call people out who need to be called out.

zuffy 04-04-06 01:45 PM

Why is everyone giving Lee a free pass twice? Screw the life is not fair copout.

Trump can't fire Lee on that particular episode. If he fires Lee, there will be all these civil rights groups and individuals after his ass. He can't take the PR hit firing someone who took the day off to observe a religious holiday would have. They'd call him a antisemite or Hitler. Wouldn't that be a fucking bitch?

Patman 04-04-06 03:14 PM

This season seems to be lamer in terms of turning into these tasks that are just more marketing/advertising for whichever corporation is willing to pony up to be on the show.

magiccmom 04-04-06 04:12 PM

Cant see how he can fire Lee when George has been gone both times for the same reason.

That makes sense but friggin Bill and Caroline should ass kissing by saying yes, it was an easy decision.

George is an employee, it's part of the benefit. Playing in a game trying to earn a job in Donald's organization shouldn't come with those benefits, just to be fair with everyone.

Patman 04-04-06 05:00 PM

Yeah, to make it fair, the Donald needs to have "The Jewish Apprentice" edition so no tasks are done on the sabbath, and all the candidates are on an even playing field.
