I totally agree with that.

RainMan, you broke those stats down!! Ummm, you must be chillin' at the job today! :D

I think Troy should have been gone because as much as I like him, he was a big fat liar. He has "fudged" the truth in several challenges to get ahead and that is not cool. That's why they lost that second deal last night.

Speaking of Omarosa, an Atlanta radio station did an April Fool's joke yesterday where the very popular morning show hosts (steve and Vicki) were fired and replaced with Sam and Katrina from Aprentice. The kicker was Omarosa was scheduled to be a guest, but she refused to go on until Katrina left the building. :rolleyes: She is too much!

What Apprentice Are You?
 
I posted a link that allows you to test what Apprentice you are over in the Chit Chat forum. Under what thread? Why, The Apprentice, of course.

Check it out!

I too, think Kwame is a little too laid back. But, as much as I hate to bring up the race factor, I believe it's a smart strategy. Look how Omarosa has been villianized for acting very similar to Heidi. Many people consider Black men threatening. If he came in their guns blazing, his butt would have been gone by now!

Also, the education thing. TROY MADE IT AN ISSUE! He kept brining it up. He should have just shut up. As Trump said, there's nothing wrong with education. Yes, you can lead without one. But, formal education is still very important to serve in the capacity he was aspiring to. Troy could stand to take an ethics class or two.

OMAROSA IS BACK NEXT WEEK :eek: :eek: :eek:

I watched the rerun on CNBC and they didn't show what was coming up in the next episode... So Omarosa is coming back? Is it just to stir up trouble, is she helping a team out? I think that is strictly for ratings. I agree with whoever said let's focus on the remaining four competitors. I like Kwame, but next week he needs to step it up. I did not see him doing anything for this challenge, except stand by Troy and point out which number to call.

stardusttwin 04-05-2004 12:01 AM

While I agree that it appeared that Nick & Amy's "win" was rigged I have to disagree with this...

Quote:

Compared to Troy, his track record was pitiful, 3X as PM, only won once, whereas Troy was PM several times, and won at least twice. Add that to the fact that his quick thinking on his feet has garnered numerous victories for his team, and WITHOUT a college education.
Troy can think on his feet but he would not survive in a corporate setting. No one wants to be shmoozed or sweet talked all the time. He played his one-note "sweet country boy" song, got very far with it, and has managed to get a lot of offers so I'm sure he'll do well in the future. I agree he would do well to take an ethics class (after being on the show I doubt he'll be able to keep pulling fast one's on people). With this last challenge he almost lost the deal because of his lying (yes he flat out lied)-Trump can't afford to have someone who plays fast and loose negotiating like that on his behalf because if Troy pulled that mess on a real deal its Trumps name and reputation thats on the line.

Frankly the statistics show just how worthless some statistics are. This decision should not be based purely on wins - Tammy, Ereka, Katrina, Jesse and Heidi all have high stats but I wouldn't hire any of them to wash my dishes- when put to the test they proved just how weak they all were (respectively)

If you look at my previous post's I was never a Kwame fan to begin with-but unless something drastic happens in this next episode I think he's shown the best strategy to win- you dont' have to prove how good you are-just stay in the cut and let the others who run their mouths show how incompetent they are.

But Trump kept Kwame, who played along with Troy on the dubious ethical practices of autographing footballs at Planet Hollywood. Pretty inconsistent, if you ask me.

IMHO that was not the purpose of the stats. The purpose of the stats were to present an objective look at the performance data of the candidates based on "track record task performance" only. It was never intended to be a be-all, end-all means of determining whether to keep or fire anyone.

We'll see (it has worked so far; I initally thought he would make top three; he definately made top 5).

If this was Kwame & Troy vs someone who wasn't involved with that task (like Bill who was against it) I could see your point. The consistency in this decision is it was Troy's idea to have Kwame sign those balls (remember George is always watching and reporting back to Trump).

My point is the stats are not objective - if you looked at the stats you would believe in the early stages of the show that the women were extremely savvy business wise when all they did was flash their T & A to make deals and get the "win". No matter how Trump is with his personal life he was not going to have an unpolished chain smoking Heidi meeting with clients or an insecure Jesse pouting when things didn't go her way.

next week 2 people get cut-I'm predicting Amy then Bill with the finalists being Kwame and Nick.

Ok so I got it half right...kind of like getting 5 numbers but missing the yellow mega number :p .

So who's playing whom? Amy just cut Nick down and followed him right out the door. It was funny how NONE of the people liked Amy-Trumps assistant was a trip when she cut her down. They didn't show much of them working together so it'll be interesting to see how they work with Bill after she just finished dissing Nick to Mr. Trump.

Can I tell you I now have zero respect for Omarossa!! She has mental issues - delusions of grandeur-something is not equating in that big head of hers. She lies without hesitation and then doesn't even lie well. Logistics is VERY important-everyone assumes its easy but its not and she just blew it off. The previews don't show her in the best light either. I hope her husband has a lot of money because I don't see anyone hiring her after this. That girl has MAD issues :mad: :mad: and I'm sick at her for her behavior tonight.

I still will project Kwame as the winner but that's based on how poorly Bill seems to be handling his project - Kwame (if you're reading this) you can't allow your employees to run all over you. O needed a huge pimp slap for this mess-you're her boss not her friend. (I'm still reeling from ER so I can't formulate my thoughts right now - I was so ready to throw something at the tv over how Carrie was being treated).

I know, I know....relax relate release...its only a television show

WCUgirl 04-09-2004 12:13 AM

I think Bill's going to win.

Kwame, the poor boy, got stuck with Omarosa! Of course his team is going to fail. But he doesn't have the luxury of firing her...however, he could step up and at least speak to her sternly if not give her a good tongue lashing for the crap she's pulling.

Eclipse 04-09-2004 12:21 AM

My cousin, his fiance and a friend of their's are on their way to my house as I type....about 3 or 4 hours away. I will be up until then getting my place together, but I had to come in and say this:

I wanted to punch Omarosa in her DANG-ON throat!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

That heffah got on my last good nerve. How is she going to do that to the brother? Kwame is crazy, cause I was have pulled a Donald and said "you're fired!" She is certifiable!! I don't think Kwame is going to win though. Heidi was right. He should have been a bit more forceful with Crazy. Every thing is riding on this.

I like Bill, so I don't mind him winning.

Back to my cleaning...

delph998 04-09-2004 01:00 AM

Boo to Omorosa!!!
 
I can NOT believe that Omorosa lied like she did!!! And then she had the nerve to say that Kwame was too passive about his job?! This girl has SERIOUS ISSUES!!! I can't believe her. This was BY FAR the best Apprentice ever!!!

KWAME is going to win I believe!

Yeah, Amy did diss Nick and it kind of backfired in her face. I thought Amy was a good competitor though and had a chance of winning until Trump's employees shot her down (she really got on that one guy's last nerve).

Kwame needs to shove his foot up Omarosa's you-know-what...I couldn't deal w/ her. She is the epitome of unecessary drama, and has the nerve to not even perform well on projects. Stardustwin, I agree w/ you--I don't forsee anyone knocking on her door offering her a j-o-b afte the show is over.

I think based on current progress, Bill should win (and I think Trump likes Bill for the job more than Kwame), but it's up in the air regarding who will win b/c it's all based on this last project...

Awww guys com'n on. I didn't wanna punch Omarosa.


I wanted to pimp slap her with a hand full of talcum powder.

TWICE.


My prediction is that Kwame will win. His off the radar style is just like Donald's style. You have never EVER seen Trump all frazzled and stuff like Bill was on the preview. Now have you?

Kwame knows what he is doing and he is playing his game well. He just got stuck with Omarosa. Yes stuck even though he picked her as his second choice. Bill would never pick her. So he made her his second choice to appease her incredible combustible ego.

But Kwame will win. Anyone wanna place some cyber wagers on that?

Conskeeted7 04-09-2004 10:46 AM

Did anyone see Ereka, Heidi, Omarosa and DTrump on Oprah yesterday? I felt like Omarosa was lying and was not doing a good job at all. She was avoiding questions from Oprah:rolleyes: Come on now, you might think you are a good liar, but you can't keep it from Oprah. I also got the vibe that Oprah did not like her and could feel a bad vibe from her. :o

lostnfound117 04-09-2004 01:19 PM

i love kwame and definitely want him to win!!

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO OMAROSA for trying to gank my boy kwame:

WHAT DID THE FIVE FINGERS SAY TO THE FACE??!!


SLAP!!!

*in best church voice* Welllll!

I'd also like to request more shots of him doing pushups. And maybe some about to go into the shower shots.......And maybe one where we can check him for any Kappa brands or tatoos. NBC could set up an interactive website, where you click on K's clothes, and they come off. i just trying to "think outside the box"

More Omarossa news
 
Now I've heard proof positive that Omarossa is a few eggs short of a dozen...

You know how Omarossa likes to shout out that she worked for the Clinton Admininstration? Well I heard on the news last night that what she left out is she was fired from FOUR jobs in TWO years. Her last position at the Commerce Dept they got rid of her as quickly as the process would allow. There were no specifics, just that she was viewed as uncooperative and unruley.

Now my question is, how trifling did you have to be for members of the Clinton Administration to fire you???? That was OUR time in DC-when we all sang "kum by ya" and were ready to take on the world. (for the people in the yellow bus that was sarcasm) :rolleyes: .

I'm amazed, I'm also more madderer (yes I went there-its two degress hotter that mad) :mad: . She has earned a date with Mike Tyson,Ike Turner,Wayne Brady (if you didn't see Dave Chappelle get the tape) and Bobby Brown-PIMP slaps all around

If I can find this reported on line I'll edit later with a link.

But now I'm sure that the producers of these shows PURPOSELY look for the worst black people they can find to ensure they have the mad black person on the set...there is no way a background check would not have brought this up sooner.

I also peeped how Oprah was with Omarossa-that's the last person you want to try to pull one over with on tv.

Neosoulchild 04-12-2004 06:55 PM

I want Omarosa to go back on Oprah now, and see what she says about lying to Kwame. I know she will probably blame it on editing, but I want Oprah to grill her on it. Or she could just let viewers call in and I'll grill her myself. That woman has some serious issues, and I'm with y'all... she will never get another job after this.

I don't think Kwame will win because he has too much compassion. He should have let Omarosa have it, and I think he was just too nice to do it. It may have been because he was on TV, but I don't know. I think Bill will win. He has no compassion, and that's my view of most Corporate America executives.

But I still like Kwame the best. :D

Neosoulchild 04-15-2004 02:26 AM

Did anyone see the special they had on the Apprentice? I think it was on dateline or something. I missed it, but I did hear that Kwame is married. :o

mzbuttons 04-15-2004 08:26 AM

I saw the the end of the special. Kwame is apparently separated from his wife. He said something about still wanting to chase skirts. I was unimpressed. Oh, and apparently Omarosa is married also. Happily married.

StrangeFruit 04-15-2004 10:19 AM

"Dateline's" narrator said Kwame was single and dating and seperated from his wife. ? If he's still married he's not single and shouldn't be dating until he's divorced. Trifling? I hope he wins, but he needs to get that part of his life in order. Seperation is not the same as divorced.

the story was reported in last week's people. here it is:

Omarosa's Long History of Being Fired

Donald Trump wasn't the first person to fire Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, the combative "Apprentice" contestant who makes a heralded return to the NBC reality show on Thursday, the next-to-last episode of the ratings hit.
According to the new issue of PEOPLE, the former political appointee -- who spoke glowingly of her White House days -- was banished from four jobs in two years with the Clinton administration.

At her last one, "she was asked to leave as quickly as possible, she was so disruptive," says Cheryl Shavers, the former Under Secretary for Technology at the Commerce Department, where Omarosa worked several weeks in 2000. "One woman wanted to slug her."

Manigault-Stallworth, 30, was also bounced from a previous position at Commerce, says another former administration official, "because she couldn't get along with people."

At her first White House gig, answering invitations received by Vice President Al Gore, "she didn't do her job, and it got everybody in trouble," says a former Gore staffer.

Neosoulchild 04-15-2004 09:59 PM

Is it just me or does it look like they are setting up these road blocks on purpose (i.e. the signs, the breakfast, etc)? Is it to make the show interesting, or is it to see how they can handle adversity?

Yeah, it's gotta be on purpose. Just for the record Omarosa needs a big ole pimp slap right about now.

ETA: @ 1SD... it's not over yet

Nubian 04-15-2004 10:37 PM

Couple of random thoughts as I'm watching the show:

Donald Trump: Worst Hair EVER
Omarosa would catch a ghetto-style beat down
Ok, Kwame, if you could please not climb into the limo like its a racecar bed.
When Kwame was praying, did he have pants on?
A man who owns lots of ties is so sexy (Kwame).
What's with the Gladiator style music?
Why are the losers going into the boardroom?
Amy: That girl has some big teeth.
Carolyn wants to kick George's arse!
Again: Omarosa...ghetto-style beat down.

I HOPE KWAME WINS
