The Apprentice 2- Sept. 9

[IvySpice]

Word on Maria (I think) with the short short hair. I was watching with my boyfriend and he was practically drooling! He likes sophisticated, sharp-dressing women (so what's he doing with me? )

Can any of you fanatics confirm that Stacy J's behavior was really that bad that the Asian girl had to hide in a corner???... there was an all out assault on her in the boardroom ... I felt sorry for her...this is my first time watching so if someone can fill me in I would appreciate it

no, it wasn't bad at all. in fact, when i first saw it, i thought she was trying to be silly to break tension in the room and create a lighter atmosphere. she was just a scapegoat, and it was completely blown out of proportion. i am really not liking the women team this time b/c of how they treated stacie j. i'm rooting for the guys (especially kevin).

I missed the show this week. Who got the boot this week?

I didn't see the episode that Stacie J supposedly "flipped out" but I can't believe that it was that bad. Personally, those women were trying to save their butts. I don't want any of the women on the women's team to win.

I think Donald had an Omarosa flashback. If every black woman is going to be judged by her behavior, then they should not cast another black woman.... cause that's straight Bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stacie J, the only black woman

I think it was totally absurd for Stacie J to get voted off this week. They have been conspiring to get her off the show since she "flipped out." Now, I thought she was off the chain for switching out on a them like that, but HELL NAW it wasn't bad enough for Ms. Evana (is that even her friggin' name?) to "hide in a corner"! I thought they were so extreme with their personal thoughts. "They were frightened, they were scared, they were nervous." The main point is that they didn't like Stacie J, the ONLY African American woman, and they stuck together and voted her out! Now let's see how those tricks do in the future because they're nothing but two-faced funky punks! I just can't believe that Ms. Team Leader chose Stacie J to go in the board room with them because she didn't do anything to contribute to the team losing. It should have been Evana (the accountant), Maria (with her put together self! She's tight...gotta give it to her), and and her. I'm sorry y'all but that pissed me off and made me think of other things to snap off about. Dang, am I having a Stacie J moment?! NO because African Americans are dramatic people. We like to get loud, use body language, etc.

But on another note, I'm glad Kevin held it down for the other team. Tight stuff. I hope he goes far in the game.

I'm out!

That's what I thought too re: Stacie trying to break the tension. I was so when one of them even went so far as to describe Stacie as being "schizophrenic". That heffa is not a psychiatrist. How the hayle does she know what a schizophrenic looks like??

The whole women's team just pissed me off to no end. I hope they lose. Scared bustas!!

That was foul.

I knew she was a goner from last week. Trump was looking for something to get her off the show. No one on the Apex team gave a legimate reason for calling her crazy. Eccentric. yes. Schizo .No

The other minority will be gone next week, Ivana.

I'm going to have to slightly disagree with the majority. While I don't think that Stacey J is "crazy", she is a bit weird. I was so tired of the "Side Show Bob" look. This is a game show more than anything. She should always have her game face on, and never let her guard down. She gave them the tools to bring her down.

She really didn't defend herself in the boardroom. If people are ganging up on you, you have to defend yourself. Talk about the other women, most of them are nuerotic in their own ways. But she said nothing. She just looked like she was backed in to a corner, which she was. But like the old line says, you have to come out swinging. I also didn't like how she said in the car that because she owns a business and pays her taxes she's not crazy. I worked with someone who was a self-mutilator, and she still works at that very same job. Now if that ain't crazy I don't know what is.

Now on the other hand, if they think that she's crazy she should have given them crazy. I would have. Before I left the boardroom they would've had to call security on me! Truthfully Maria should have been gone, but when you let yourself be used as a scapegoat you're fired! Stacey also made a mistake when she told Trump that the PM should've went when she should've continued to stack the cards against Maria. When she did that she lost any support she could've gotten from the PM.

I agree with you. Stacie J. is not crazy, maybe just a little bit "out there." I do however think her overall look was less than professional for what the Trump may be looking for. I mean, this is the Apprentice! This is a great opportunity. If it were me, I'd study everything there is to know about D. Trump and how he runs his businesses. You have to bring your A-game and make no mistakes...especially if you're a minority. Unfortunately, the brief glimpse of Stacie J.'s erratic side was enough to get her kicked off.

I wasn't happy with the fact that Staci J was fired off the show. In fact, she had no business being in the boardroom with the other two ladies. She is NOT the fault of why the team went OVER the budget and lost. Her mental stage, whether good or bad, had nothing to do with why the team ended up in the boardroom.

Those women who said those things about Staci J blew it waaay out of porportion. Ivana saying she had to "hide in a corner" is really ridiculous!! If I were Trump I would looked at all those other young ladies and tell them that they are the WEAKEST LINKS!!! This is business and you have to deal with all kinds of people. Staci J's "episode" was not a big thing. It is not like she threatened anybody with their life or anything. I feel Staci J did what she had to do to complete the project (which in my opinion was pretty WACK!!). Mr. Trump still did not get to the bottom of the budget mishap like he should have. Going over the budget by $7,000 will get you fired.

White people are scared of black people anyway. As soon as Stacie J walked in with her natural hair, they were shaking in their boots.

I just saw this week's episode of the Apprentice. Donald Trump really pissed me off. I recorded the first episode of the Apprentice, and I had to go back and look at it again to see what I missed with this Stacie J episode. I'm sorry I still don't see it. They were just looking for a reason to get rid of her. I think Stacie handled the situation well. If she would have came out fighting they would have just said that she was crazy. I don't think that Donald is ready for a sista to run his company, and especially not a natural sista. I like her look though, and I don't see how it is not professional, but that just my opinion.
