Stardusttwin, you are in Brooklyn as well. Did you already see the 2nd episode? How could I have missed that. I hope they are showing it again tomorrow @ 8pm.

The second episode came on last week Thursday after Friends. The third episode is coming on tonight (against American Idol )

I'm not hating on those ladies, but lets be real...either this is a contest reflecting the best and brightest of America or this is an upgrade from Trumps usual beauty pagaent activities...there are plenty of beautiful women who are intelligent who are always questioned whether they acheived their position based on brain or bedroom antics...So far, the majority of these women so far support that...inappropriate work clothes, catty behavior, inability to meet and discuss topics without emotions running wild (and feelings getting hurt)...all the bs that men use to say why women can't be in big business. You can't tell me the best and brightest women are all 5"7" or taller and don't know the difference between business wear, weekend wear and club wear .

OMG, that was one of THE funniest eps of Apprentice I have seen thus far.

HOT OFF THE PRESSES: THE HIGHLIGHTS

Tonight's task involved the art of negotiation: To purchase a predetermined list of items/services at a price lower than what the merchant is asking for.

Well, needless to say, the women won with a 22% savings, the men only 9%

Notable moments: more catty drama b/t Omarosa and ?? (I wasn't paying attention), but during the task the women split up in sub-groups of two to get more done. Omarosa claims that the women she was with got some new-found respect for her, but since I really didn't see a significant amount of emphasis on that area, that truly remains to be seen.

Now the big question: How did Sam go as project manager? Well, I give him an A for enthusiam, an A for effort, but a HUGE F for execution and technique

*Whoopi Goldburg bursts out, "NOT F!! F MINUS!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"*

My bad, Whoopi. F minus indeed. Sam's problem was that he was too busy being a megalomaniac (power hungry), he actually prevented the group from negotiating the purchase of more items in order to buy some gold by 11:30, thereby wasting a LOT of precious time in the process.

Funny moment #1: Donald Trump stopping by to visit Sam during the project and gave him a handshake and a brief chat. Well, Sam had his head so far up in the clouds that the teammates had to take 5-10? minutes to bring him back to earth (RM's note: I think that visit was only to allow Mr. Trump to give Sam enough rope to hang himself with). Premonition perhaps? Indeed it was!!

Funny moment #2: Sam blaming Kwame in part for the team's failure. Now I must say that Kwame has been slowly blossoming into a very assertive, observant, and astute businessman. I knew that Kwame had nothing to worry about and when I heard Sam say Kwame's name, I shouted, "BULLJIVE!!" Furthermore, IMHO if Kwame doesn't win the apprenticeship, he will probably be among the last to go, that's for sure.

Funny moment #3: Sam's look on his face when Mr. Trump said those famous words, three times to be exact. It was SOOOOO FUNNY (HOW FUNNY WAS IT???!!!), that I am going to try my darndest to get a screengrab of that expression off the Internet somewhere.

If no one gets anything else out of this episode, the moral to tonight's show is this:

The only thing that Sam knows how to run is HIS MOUTH!!! That fact has been made perfectly clear as of 8:54 pm EST.

And on that note: LET THE RANTINGS, LAUGHING, AND REJOICING BEGIN!!!!!

Ah man, I missed the first 45 minutes. What happened with Omarosa? I will say that with the last 15 minutes that I did see, I just grew to love Kwame even more. I wonder if he has a younger brother . But when I saw the previews for next week's episode I was a little upset. If you are willing to lie to win this competition, then what is to be said about how you will run your own business. I know with the whole Enron scandal people are putting a lot more emphasis on ethics, so I wonder what the boss will have to say about that. I can't wait for the women to get told something about their, "sex sells strategy."

FINALLY!!!!! Sam is gone. There was a collective "YES!" heard throughout the LaSalle apartments. I am so happy they sent him home. What was up with what's her name putting her hands on Omarosa? She really grabbed her arm...what about that says "professional businesswoman"?

I too was happy that Sam got the boot! He annoyed the heck outta me as project manager and I wasn't even on the show.

Catrina was the girl that grabbed Omarosa. Yes, she was crazy to do that - and did it more than once!

Omarosa was right. This is a competition. Things may seem "cool" NOW that the women are winning, but let them lose one assignment and have to send someone home. All the "sisterhood and bonding" will fly out the window.

She must have forgotten that Omarosa came from the Projects to the White House. I thought for sure that Omarosa was going to take it back to the hood on Catrina's behind. I like Omarosa and I hope she can hang in there.

I missed the first 30 mins of the show, so I didn't see the women battle. But Sam won an Oscar yesterday!! That dude is dramatic--off the chain!

I want the women to lose so they can eliminate somebody. They may be getting a little relaxed winning everything.

Good episode.

This was too funny!!! I was CTFU!! Sam looked like he was going to hop across the table and smack the Donald. Another funny moment was when Donald said to Sam, "I didn't realize that you were that short".

[rho4life]

Mr. R4L and I were sitting there and both said that Sammy looked like he was about to go postal. I hope there were some metal detectors in the Trump towers!

The biggest downside to this show is that b/c it's not on MTV it doesnt get replayed a million times during the week, so I end up missing some of the drama while we're talking sh*t about people

[prayerfull]

I ain't mad at Omarosa...not one bit.

My thang has her own website.......http://www.omarosa.com

Check out the site. It's is exceptionally well done. I don't know if the other contestants have moved on to this "level", but she has represented herself VERY well. Be sure to check out her Photo Album gallery.

BTW Sam looked POSESSED when we got fired. I thought he was about to blow the place up!

[SkeeWee14]

I really do hope she make through on the Apprentice. Girlfriend seem to have her stuff together and that really makes me proud!!

No, I'm saying that the public is so concerned about ethics now. Since this show is on television, I wonder what the boss will have to say about it.

Well, I can tell you that she is from Youngstown, Ohio, which is NO JOKE as far as growing up in the projects goes. Living in Youngstown requires true SURVIVAL skills, and anyone from around that neck o' the woods can vouch for me on that one.

I also read that she is a Central State University grad (which was a truely 'hood-like school). I wonder is she was there when I was there ('94). Being that she is 29 and I'm 30, that was possible. CSU IN THE HOUSE!

But I'm starting to have new found respect for her as far as the competition goes. I hope she doesn't let me down.

R4L, does the postal look go something like this:


Inside the mind of a man who just got his NASDAQ cut off and handed to him by one of the richest, most powerful men in the world. Coming up next, on "Greekchat Live, with Rain Man"


Told ya'll I was gonna post the infamous look once I got my hands on it!
