Totally agree. Ms. MysticCat and I both groaned at the thought of all that truffle.

I'd also like to see more tasks that aren't marketing/advertising.

What?! Don't you know that Trump relies on Carolyn and George to create ad campaigns and write jingles for Trump Ice and Trump neckties? It's a major part of what all Trump executives do.

I know it's not PC of me to say this, but it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to be chosen to be one of 16 people who could get a job with the Trumpster? Why would you want to blow it/be construed as a slacker by skipping out on 2 tasks for "religious reasons"?

In any case, I highly doubt that Lee will be the last one standing.
He is just too young. He is like Andy from Season 2:

My bets on some of the finalists are Ally, Andrea, Roxanne, & Sean.

and Bryce's "suicide" in the boardroom made me think of that quote from that great literary piece (LOL), "The Thorn Birds"....something about a bird impaling itself on a thorn and then it sings its sweetest song....or something like that.

I wonder.... if this hadn't been on tv, would Trump be so completely understanding of Lee's religious beliefs and obligations? Or is he only being so because he's on TV and it would be a HUGE HUGE HUGE scandel if he did or said anything negative about it.

While I respect his religion, part of me does find it unfair that he has not participated in two of the tasks.

Another question- if there was a religious conflict, couldn't the days be changed so that he could be a part of the challenges as well?

I'm guessing that Bryce's tactic was that he really wanted Lenny to go, and knew that Trump would not fire Lee yet, so that significantly increased the odds against Lenny. But he should've shut his mouth a little bit more in the boardroom.

It's one thing to say your piece and to stick up for yourself, but it's another thing to talk over the people making the decisions and interrupt them.

Exactly. Although I thought he did a good job managing, I was annoyed that Bryce clearly was out to get Lenny fired. Also, his little touchy-feely speech to the team was so calculated -- LOVE ME YOU GUYS because I'm such a neato guy and I just love you all so much so totally don't say anything bad about me in the boardroom! I about died when he went into his "I was raised a certain way" speech in the boardroom, after saying the exact same thing to the team. That wasn't heartfelt -- it was rehearsed.

Same here! I always ffwd through it on my DVR. It's so boring to me.

I told my assistant this morning that it shocks me that these people ARGUE with Donald Trump?!?!? Seriously, would you argue with a person that you are trying to vye for a job with?!?

'nough said




I personally think Allie will be one of the final contestants. I totally want Allie to win, but I really wanted Rebecca to win last time and he picked Randall, so you never know.

For an interesting take on this:

RNO -- The Apprentice 5: Why Bryce Lost

If Allie wins, she'll be the 2nd alumna from the Univ. of Florida to win The Apprentice! :)

That's awesome.


Plus, hey supporting a Greek! :D


I just think that it will be really hard for the team to try to boot her. You know. You can tell that she works her but off. I bet even if she was a PM and her team lost, she still wouldn't be fired because she works so hard.

I don't know which was more horrifying in last night's two episodes:

-- Lenny's abysmal performance (was he drunk when Lee was trying to give him boardroom pointers?);

-- Synergy winning the Boys & Girls' Club despite Michael's horrible leadership;

-- Synergy winning the 7-11 task so that Andrea and her yellow eye shadow are still around; or

-- the thought of eating one of the Pi'Eazza "sandwiches." That just had nasty written all over it.

So the Lenster is gone....I liked him, but in the end, he doesn't have that "finesse" that one would need to be part of the Trump corporation. Oh well...shrug.

Lenny and Michael were both walking disasters. Michael was lucky they won (as the girls so nicely pointed out to him). Lenny was just stupid. I mean seriously, everyone, BUT LEE is saying you were a shitty PM and you still think you're right and everyone else is wrong and that you rocked. WTF?!?




I bought S1 of the Apprentice and I have to say, even though I know Bill won, it is soooooo obvious why he won. I'm watching and I'm like "good god that person so needs to be fired".

I think Michael was used as a scapegoat last night... I don't think he should have been fired at all last night. He wasn't in charge of selling he was incharge of running the events which he seemed to do pretty well. I think Lee or either the the Sean needed the boot.. preferrably Sean..

Oh well on to the Top 5.. 3 women and 2 men left.

I figured it would be Michael though to go, just because you know Lee and Sean were going to "team up". Although, I have to admit he sucked last night. He actually thought about "sharing" the cheerleaders and then he spent more time on the microphone pulling the people in but not attempting to sell to them. Once you've pulled the people in you HAVE to sell to them. But when it comes to Michael, he has been such a wallflower. You really had no idea who he was until he became a PM and then you're like "oh who is he". They really never showed him.

Allie is seriously getting on my nerves. I used to like her but I really hate how childish she is becoming. I mean seriously who demands an apology? WTF? All because Sean said what he thought in the board room? Are you frickin' kidding me? I mean, come on, she's acting like she's five years old.

I have a feeling the final three will be Sean, Tami and Roxanne. I think eventually the girls will turn on Allie's "holier than thou" attitude and her childishness.

Yeah she went overboard last night.. I died laughing when Sean put the earplugs in...lol

These girls are bound to turn on each other as they are too close to be competitors. It would have been sooo interesting had they lost and had to go in the boardroom. I think Roxanne would have been fired...
