The Apprentice 2

[PsychTau]

...and I must say that I LOVE the extra boardroom footage. However, I have one thing to say......

WHAT FIRES???????

People, please....give me some specifics!!!! Someone alluded to the fact that Stacie J didn't complete her task of getting the product to the site, but I saw tons of toothpaste there, so it got done somehow!!!

What I thought was weird too was the way they showed Stacey on the phone hiring temps -- and no mention had EVER been made of hiring temps, so Stacey looked like a complete psycho for doing that. But then at the boardroom, it became clear that someone had the idea of hiring temps and Stacey was just following up on that -- WTF? It was clear that the other women were ganging up on her.

[PsychTau]

Well, OK....they gave a few more specifics....paranoid behavior is weird and can get dangerous if someone thinks everyone is out to get them and they try to retaliate....but a lot of that stuff they said I didn't see. Probably good editing....probably trying to avoid some sort of legal action. Who knows.

In any case, she did get on my nerves saying that she was the strongest woman there "just because I am". That was annoying. Plus, I think it's funny that she is called a "restauranteur" when she actually owns ONE Subway franchise. Not putting any franchise owners down, but you really don't have to create a menu, create a marketing buzz, etc. with a franchise. You do what the company tells you to.

And has anyone noticed that she has used the phrase "they formed a sorority" a lot since the beginning? Wonder what that was about?

I loved watching the extra boardroom footage because it made more sense as to how much more finger pointing was going on than what was shown and how it turned to Stacie J. It would have made much more sense to have Ivana in the boardroom than Stacie J. The minute the overage was discovered Ivana should have contacted the project manager immediately. WTH is the project manager doing sleeping while everyone else is up at 2am? Marie showed her true colors by not stepping up to the plate and admitting her mistake.

When all of the women were brought back to the boardroom, Jennifer actually defended Stacie J. saying that Stacie did as she was told and wasn't ultimately responsible for the teams loss. She did say the other women are using her as a scapegoat. I agree Pscyh Tau.The politically incorrect crazy word was thrown around quite a bit without any real time footage examples. The fires must on have been hot enough for tv and fell on the cutting room floor.

Bascially the other women didn't want her and made a mountain out of a molehill. It was a good idea for Trump to bring the women back into the boardroom. It made his job of who to fire easier.

So what did you all think of tonight's episode?

[ZTABullwinkle]

Personally, the decision on firing Jen C. was like Caroline said..."A no-brainer." The girls are so catty and don't get along. But how is it that "two fat, Jewish ladies" ruined the WHOLE survey results?

Jen C. definitely had something personal with the two she brought into the boardroom. Next week should be interesting, the ladies look like they are self-imploding again.

Personally, I am cheering for Maria. She is from my hometown. But she definitely needed to say that she made a mistake during the toothpaste challenge.

Also, it was nice that Bill got to participate in this season's show. He knows better than anyone what it is like to be on the other side of the table from Donald Trump. If the ladies were smart, they would take his advice from last night!

Dudes, don't you think Carolyn would be really hot if she had less frumpy hair?

Anyway, Jen sucked last night. She was angry and I didn't see her do anything constructive, plus her boardroom selections were purely personal. It's one thing to make "friends" on the show, but you just can't let it get in the way of business.

[polarpi]

And what I thought was great was her taxi confessional (or whatever you want to call it), where she's talking about how Sandy was supposed to be her "best friend" and then Sandy threw Jen's name out to be fired....okay, that happened before you made a decision as to who you'd bring into the boardroom with you, so it's your own d*** fault for not bringing her into the boardroom with you!

I guess I like rooting for the underdogs....I love Stacy and Elizabeth, and I can't get a read on which of the guys I'd be pulling for!

I had a great time seeing Jen C. try to pull shit outta her ass last night. She was right on one thing though--Stacy needs to shut up once in a while...she talks too much and I'd probably go insane if I had to work with her.

The girls seem to be dropping like flies. Don't know who I want to win just yet, but if they keep John the Marketing Director then I'll keep on watching.

Glad Jen C.'s gone...don't know what disturbed me more. The way she ran her mouth or her HAIR!

Carolyn's hair is much better this season than last. I think she's looking pretty good now. Did anyone else notice how much she was glowing when she was standing next to Bill at the beginning of the episode? She luuuurves him (and I don't blame her).

Thank you, Trump, for firing someone based on their performance this week. Last week should have never happened.

Jen M. is the only decent woman. The rest need to get the boot ASAP.

i noticed that too!!! i'm sure i would be glowing too though, he's so hott! anyways... i'm glad Jen is gone, she was so annoying! she didn't know when to shut up! i haven't posted in this thread since Bradford was fired so i'm going to bring it back to Stacy J really quick. Did you guys notice when she mentioned sororities? She said something along the lines of all the girls being catty and acting like they're in a sorority. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing that she's gone though. She was definately an obstacle but she brought the team together at the same time b/c they all had one thing in common: they didn't like Stacy J. Now that Stacy J's gone they don't have anything bonding them together, so they're all fighting which causes them to lose.

Didja know that Jen may be in jeopardy of losing her job as a real estate agent in NYC for the insensitive anti-Semitic comment on Thursday's show?

[WhirlwindTNX]

good, karma is a b$tch.

I havent really sat down to watch much this season....... i was mad when bradford was fired.....he was sooo cute in my opinion.....but last night i saw the rerun of the show that Bill sat in on and the girl got fired because she made it purely personal.

Carolyn i think has a crush on Bill..... to cute event hough
she is married w ith a family. I saw it clearly toward t he end of last season and now.

What the EFF?

IMO Pamela did NOT deserve to be fired tonight. These chicks can't get along with each other AT ALL, and despite only losing by $10, it was clear that Pamela got the boot because she was actually doing what she was supposed to. How the fuck do you go from having the Don impressed with your performance and your background to getting fired? Obviously I'm no businesswoman, but come on. It seems as if these chicks are losing credibility more and more each week...wait till the guys find out!

I hope none of these women win it all (well, except Elizabeth), and Stacy just gets more annoying with each episode!

And the Anna Kournikova bit... overrated. Uh, why is she sooooo beloved again?
