So you're saying that his 100% is more then the regular person's 100% thus making it appear that he was giving 110%?

I don't know... in the real busines world, I don't think it's a good idea to tell your (potential) boss you like a competitor's product better without spinning it in a way to improve your own company. Loyalty means a lot.

Lisa L really is a piece of work and an amazingly condescending and pretentious person. I still can't forget her mocking someone for spelling medieval wrong and then seconds later saying: "If we lost on creativity I will literally fall on my own sword?" (you think someone mocking someone else for spelling might understand what "literally" means).

It's also a bit hyproctritical for everyone to talk about being loyal and a team player and maybe not speaking your mind for the sake of the team when Lou gave his opinion on which video he liked, while Lisa L just lays into Lou for 30 minutes and instead of being "a team player" and perhaps diplomatically saying he did the least amount of work she just starts personally attacking him to the point of claiming he's using a disability as a strategic ploy and crutch (even if that is true she has no way of knowing that it is). Yet apparently Lou should have been more diplomatic about his opinion of the video for the sake of the team?

That said it was clear after the Lou baiting that he was going (and rightfully so). But the opinion on the video being such a critical part (or at least a big part of the TV edit) was absurd.

I think it means people who are 'only' giving 100% are really just giving ~90% as they should be able to go to the 110% level.

I think we'll see a Lisa Lampanelli vs. Arsenio finale........or possibly Clay.

Whatever will be the craziest shit is what sells.

Caught up with the last two episodes after being on vacation. Man, can Arsenio be more doucheworthy? I don't care how much your charity means to you. To fall over yourself to rag on some twenty something who has actually brought more to the table than you is pathetic. The girl is 28 and seems to be learning from her past mistakes. And she's right - the show is about business. Paul Sr. and the Housewives lady do not deserve to be in the finals. Nor does Arsenio. All he seems to do well is lead a crowd obviously. I would think he'd have been better on the business end.

And O'Day is hilarious. Comes back for her charity to help stop bullying yet slams and makes fun of most of the players in her confessionals. Well, at least she isn't bullying them to their faces... Although she kind of is now that they can see the episodes. :lol:

I was waiting for someone to pipe in and tell Lou that Lisa said he was fucking useless. Not a fucking loser.

Hold on, I'm digesting what you just said.



Ok, I've digested it. It was Lou who started the whole thing by saying the throw through a wall comment to Lisa. If that comment upset Lou so much why didn't he bring it up until the next boardroom?

Is this the best season of the Celebrity Apprentice?

I thought season 3 with Brett Michaels and Sharon Osbourne was good but that was nothing compared to season 5 the current edition.

Lisa is a mega bitch or this is her strategy to get more airtime and get her name out. Why can't she just shut up and be a team player instead of always being so divisive with the name calling? No wonder her team always loses.

Sucks Lou is gone even though he added nothing but he was a hero from my childhood and he is a decent person though not celebrity apprentice material.

Well seeing as how they were at Medieval Times she literally could fall upon a sword. I think she was just being clever/funny.

Sorry that was a bit of a rambling comment.

I guess my point is why isn't the same standard that is applied to Lou's comments also applied to Lisa L's comments. She's "just telling like it is", but Lou giving an honest opinion about who had the better video is being disloyal and being a bad teammate. Isn't berating one of your teammates in front of everyone, making hand gestures at him in the boardroom qualify as not being diplomatic and being a bad teammate?

I don't think it really matters who started it.... both were wrong and I think both should be held to the same standard. Lisa L seems to get a pass for speaking her mind and some of her comments have gotten pretty personal and nasty.

I wasn't trying to defend Lou, he should have been fired. But why doesn't Lisa get criticized in a similar fashion, it seems like she gets a pass.

I get a big kick out of the people defending a bitch like Aubrey O'Day.

LMFAO. Yes, she comes up with ideas, but she trashes every single person.

Fuck that bitch. Can't wait to see her gone.

Is she learning? I'm not seeing it. And Paul Sr.? Didn't he start Orange County Choppers? Does that not count as business?

Wow, Arsenio just went even lower in my book with his continued rant.

He went up in my book. He's the first person in 6 weeks to man up to Aubrey. She's a total bitch. Whore might be too far, but I'll let that slide because he's the first person to call her out on her shit. Her strategy is simply to cover her own ass, and does so by being the most vocal about everything. That way when it comes time to face Trump she can claim pretty much anything she wants.

Once again, the "women" or Forte, had a solid idea that was just too ambitious for the time allotted and now limited group they have. It was too low budget, and believe it or not, Lou was right this time about multiple angles and showing the actual app on screen. At this point with Lisa claiming all creative responsibility on every task and the fact Forte has lost 5 out of 7 tasks, isn't about time she got the boot? She may be doing everything creatively but they're still losing. Time to own up.

Trump should be marketing green Celebrity Apprentice shirts with simply "110%" on them.

:up:

IMO it's not a problem to call a woman a bitch if in fact she routinely acts like a bitch. Aubrey routinely acts like a bitch, and worse. I probably wouldn't have stopped there. :lol:

+1. After Celebrity Apprentice Aubrey can climb back into that hole of obscurity she was in before this show. I had actually heard of her before the show but couldn't pick her out of a crowd of 1 and couldn't tell you one song she sung. I suspect that she'll be in Playboy or some other last ditch effort to stay relevant in the next two years.

I actually like Aubrey on the show. I had never even heard of her before she was on this. She seems like one of the more competent people on the show. Honestly, her, Lisa, and Penn are the only ones that really have half a clue most of the time. She's a bit mouthy, but some people just like to talk a lot.

The whole boardroom thing with Arsenio, I saw really nothing wrong with what she said in there. She was fairly accurate with her description of her contribution to the team. Everyone is always asked what they specifically did for the task, but he has a big hissy fit because she takes credit for the part of the task which she actually did do all the work on.

Spoiler regarding the return of a previously fired apprentice:

Spoiler:
According to Adam Carolla's wife's podcast Adam will return before the end of the season.

I don't think the fact that the ladies lost 5 out of 7 means their ideas were crap. A lot of those losses were very close.

I absolutely hate Lou and was so happy he got the boot. He did bring up a valid point about the angles on the commercial, however, I do not think he communicated it properly to the team. I don't think Diana or Lisa understood that he meant showing what was on the screen (if he even meant that). His other comments (star power) he never relayed to the team at all. And, if Lou was the male lead and Diana was the female lead in the commercial, that would have looked downright stupid.

If I was on there, I'd want to cover my ass just like Aubrey does. That helps in the boardroom. Even though you are on teams, an individual is going to get fired. You want to stay on the show as long as possible. Aubrey may be loud but I find her to be consistently an excellent player in terms of her contributions to every single task. I still disagree with most of what Arsenio said about her. And, if he had to "man up" to her, he should have done do during the task, not wait for the boardroom, IMO. It would have taken about 10 seconds to say: "Aubrey, we aren't using that picture of me. Please step-away for a bit so I can work with the graphic designer myself." Of course that would have shown Arsenio focusing even more on something that didn't matter.

Well then, next stop: porn. Or if she catches a few breaks, maybe Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Most likely both. I'll leave it to the reader to predict in what order.

I wasn't implying that. 5 of 7 tasks their charities received $0. Close doesn't mean squat.

Who was the improv actress who performed in the commercial for Dayana's team? She was kinda cute.
