I too am HIGHLY disappointed in the stance Omarossa is taking lately...its not cute. So I'll cut Kwame a tenny tiny bit of slack-maybe he saw other things behind the scenes that made him chose her for the boardroom last week. But I agree with Gyrl7, Kwame has done nothing to set himself apart yet.
That said, I'm not surprised that Heidi was booted but I thought she would be around to milk her mom sickness a little bit longer. I nursed a family member through chemo, w/the exception of 9/11 a cigarette has not touched my lips since (9 years now minus that long walk home), watching her chain smoke while being so concerned about her mom grated a nerve.
I was hoping they would win because I REALLY want Katrina to go home. She does nothing but whine and complain about what others are doing and has been riding on coattails this whole time. Amy on the other hand is really setting herself apart-I didn't like her before but I'm starting to respect her.
Is anyone ready to make predictions on who will win or do you want to wait??

I will go with Amy. I don't remember whose idea it was to do the advertising, but she did take it upon herself to go get advertisements from companies they had already formed relationships with (smart move).

What kind of person lies about something like that??? There are soooooooooooooooooo many instances of REAL racism. I go to work everyday as the one of the only black women (in a field dominated by men), and I DEAL with it all the time...so it ticks me off when somebody cries wolf over something so serious.

Well if I was Donald Trump and the network I would cover it up also if it wasn't addressed earlier. Lets keep in mind Omarosa is smart as heck and I don't think she would out her career in jeopardy. We know what type of world we live in and I've worked with one of the biggest Commercial Real Estate firms in the country (Donald Trump level) and the atmosphere was very racist. I'm in marketing and we will cover up a lot to make the company look good.

I feel you STardusttwin, Omarosa seemed a little out of control on the talk show circuit, but as Reds6 said I am sure Donald Trump has a good marketing and PR team and that is good at cover ups and I have to believe that she is smarter than that and knows full well what the implications of slanger are.

Television - AP
Ex-'Apprentice' Star Stands by Race Claim
Fri Mar 19, 8:08 AM ET
By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY, Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK - Fired "Apprentice" Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth — hated by some of her fellow cast members — got plenty of love Thursday at Ebony magazine's awards luncheon.
Manigault-Stallworth, a guest, received hugs, kisses and requests for photos at the fifth annual event, which honors outstanding women in marketing and communications.
Among the honorees were CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien, Fox Sports reporter Pam Oliver, BET Nightly News anchor Jacque Reid and television producer Suzanne de Passe.
Manigault-Stallworth, who was "fired" on March 4, was the most polarizing of the 16-member cast, frequently arguing with some of the other women on the NBC reality show, in which contestants vie for real estate mogul Donald Trump's favor and "the dream job of a lifetime" as his yearlong protege.
After her "firing," the 30-year-old claimed former contestant Ereka Vetrini had called her the "n-word." Vetrini has vigorously denied the allegation, as have executive producers Mark Burnett and Trump.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Manigault-Stallworth, a former political consultant, said her experience showed the problems of racism in corporate America.
"Both of those gentlemen weren't there, so I find it ironic that they would be so emphatic that something did not happen."
Vetrini has noted that contestants are taped constantly, and had such an incident occurred, it would have been caught on tape.
"Believe me, I know what I experienced," Manigault-Stallworth said. "Those women called me every name in the book on-camera. Imagine what they did off-camera. Imagine what they would say in the corridors."
Still, Manigault-Stallworth said she watches the show, which will end with a live two-hour finale on April 15. "I may be the black sheep of that family, but I'm certainly a part of that family."
Manigault-Stallworth is negotiating a book deal and a talk show, and is interested in doing political commentary for the upcoming presidential election.

I missed the show last night and only caught the end credits to see Katrina riding off in the cab whining as usual.
YAYYYYYY!
The preview for next weeks looks very interesting. I'll look for the yesterdays to rerun on MSNBC so I can catch up. Any comments on last nite's episode?

I am glad to see Katrina go. Like Heidi, I never saw her do anything either. I'm glad Amy said something about Katrina using her sexuality too much. I'm glad Kwame's team has finally won something. I admire Amy for keeping it real about her strategy and her intentions. She's in it to win it.

I was on the edge of my seat!! I was so upset that Kwame's team lost the challenge. I think they worked really well together and the planning was on point. But, yay Kwame.
Editing is very interesting. My initial reaction after realizing that Amy and Nick won was that it was unfair. However, I then felt manipulated. We saw the other team calling, working hard, and making deals. The other team was on the couch. Since they had clients, I realize that they were working hard. But, since Amy didn't know the average rental cost for the room, I still don't think they worked hard enough. So, I return to..NOT FAIR!! Why am I stuck on this fairness thing?? lol

I know!!! I'm really suprised about that!  Well, at least we kno it's ogoing to be good.
As for Troy, I KNEW he was going home today the minute they began discussing his education level (he never even attended college or earned a BA, and has made mistakes) vs. Kwame (who has an MBA and has also made mistakes)...
Kwame is definately next, b/c all he does is ride off of everyone else's coattails...
