He basically said that they were just using this incident for their own good. That if they'd had a problem with Crazy Stacie they should have said so last week. And if they were so afraid they should have gone to the producers back then instead of wait until the next week to do it in the boardroom.

Apprentice Article Alert
 

I don't watch the show, but there's a good piece in the new Entertainment Weekly (with Sarah Michelle Gellar on the cover) that talks about the Apprentice and how black women are portrayed on this and other reality shows.

I read that Sistermadly. It was a good article. Did you all see Jen C on The View today? She pratically cried on the show saying that she wasn't trying to be derogatory on the show. She also said she was disappointed that they even aired that piece. It was pretty good.

I saw her on The View this morning. I kinda have to agree with what the pregnant girl had to say. You can't say that isn't really me and it was taken out of context in that kind of situation. You say things that are natural for you to say. Just admit it and apologize for offending anyone. But don't try to act like you wouldn't normally say something like that, or that's so 'not you.'

I know Conskeeted, I liked what Elisabeth had to say too. Jen C is a fiery person and meant what she said on national television, but the floor has fallen underneath her and she needs a job. It's going to be hard for her to find a job now.

Contestant Wes works for some type of financial firm in Atlanta and there was a recent article in the paper about this type of thing. They interviewed PR types at some of the major companies here (Delta, Coke, Home Depot, UPS, etc) to see if they thought an employee going on this type of show was a good or bad thing. The consensus was it was a bad thing, since people could say something that would reflect poorly on the company. Jen C was a great example of that.

BTW, thanks for that TV without pity link, CT4! I was howling reading it!

It is going to be very difficult for her to get a job now. She should have considered that when she went on the show though. I'm sure she didn't think that her real job would fire her, but when you are on TV and everyone knows who you work for, you are representing them as well. I'm sure her company didn't want to be known as "the place where the girl that talked about Jews on the Apprentice works."

She needs to find an agent/manager and try to find some PR angle she can manipulate to get some cash in the meantime...in other words...she needs to pull an Omarosa...lol

DANG!! Pam was my favorite lady (actually I can't any of the rest of them). I think she did a great job and shoudn't have gotten fired. Now that Lil Stacy, I can't STAND her!!

If all the women are gone though, its gonna get boring with just all the guys. None of them are really interesting!!

Naw, Imma hafta disagree with you. Though I understood what she was trying to do with the women on the team, she went about it the wrong way. I agree with what Donald Trump said to her, she didn't do a good assessment. How can she charge that ridiculous price for some sponges?? Errybody knows that $19.99 is the magic price, lol.

That's assuming they would have sold more..as it stands at the volume they sold with the price they would have lost by even more.

Trump is being assinine with his choices...Pam made assignments & assessments based on what the team members told her - she hasn't worked with them so when exactly was she to figure out their true strengths and weaknesses.

Those girls needed their tails whipped into shape and they hated the fact that Pamela came from the other team and made them effective. They didn't want to be talked to like children but they consistenly act like children & constantly try to one up each other. Was it really nexxesary for Jen to give feedback OVER AN OPEN MIKE when Pam was on her way downstairs?? Maria can whimper all she wants - for someone who allegedly does public speaking she was a TOTAL MESS on camera and if they had the items priced at $5 and left her in lead they would not have sold anything and probably would have lost by even more.

That they lost by $10 was really too bad given the way they worked...that they returned to form and again paced ALL the blame on one person to maintain their positions (& Trump playing into it) is terribly offensive to me as a business woman. That scrimp Jen the lawyer needs her behind kicked in the worst way - I hope she is PM next week so they can finally see she is all talk and no substance. How these airheads even made it on this show speaks volume about Trumps true intentions...they can't be that good on paper.

Don't forget - the guys get to sell the grill on QVC this coming Monday, 10/11. :)

I aree with just about everything you stated. Except, I think that Pam should have went with the so-called "magic" $19.99 price, and put the spin on there like "and you get such-and-such for free (extra sponges, or something already inlcuded in the package, I don't know). People love to think they are getting a deal.

Other than that, she did the best job I felt she could do. Trump knew he was throwing her to the wolves. None of those girls is going to end up winning anyway.

I love this show! I was kinda disappointed that Pamela got voted off. I thought she actually got the the group together. They are so disorderly! Ultimately, Pamela was the reason why the team lost so, she is the reason why she got fired. Did you all see her on The View on Friday? She seemed pretty cool about the situation. Jen C., however, is SOL right about now! Too bad for her.

I think Stacie R. is going to be the last of the women left. It seems as if she throws little comments during the boardroom and starts people going against each other, stands back to look at the chaos.

She REALLLLYYY irkes me man!!! I didn't want the women to win this week b/c I still hate what they did to Stacie J. They are so cut-throat.

Both the women and men's team had ugly clothes!!!!

I was glad Kevin was saved man....And was cut to def when he answered the phone from Trump's secretary (LOL!)...sorry I was lusting there for just a brief second.
