BTW, how pathetic for Stacy to play the oh so offended Jewish victimology card. Though one wonders if Jen C. will have still have her Manhattan real estate job after that comment on national TV...

Glad you like it. We are on the Left Coast and won't get to see it for a couple of hours yet!

The chicks are going to keep losing until they figure out that hating each other isn't an effective strategy.

I missed the first half of it. I have new respect for people who run restaurants though.

Personally I don't think that would be enough. Ivana, Elizabeth, and Stacy just aren't competent at that level within the games paramenters, and probably Sandy, too. They probably excel in their current jobs, but just don't seem to have what it takes for this show. Painful to watch.

Love how Stacy went off on what a finger-pointer Jen C was, talk about projection. She'd make a great Democrat(which she probably already is...)

It repeats on Saturday, though they may cut short the segments dealing with the challenge and add extra time in the boardroom(which they've done the last few weeks.)

Actually we saw the repeat last Saturday and it was interesting because they recapped the episode in 15 minutes and extended the time in the boardroom. Got to see a lot more of the in-fighting and decision-making.

Maybe you can catch the Friday CNBC repeat or the NBC repeat on Sat.

I'll play catch up yeah. Hey I noticed they're selling the boxset to the first run Apprentice.

I saw it in Best Buy today. I'm sure they've included a bunch of extra material. Wonder how much it is, I didn't look. Oops, husband just got home. Better feed him!

The girl they fired tonight was a triple A bitch

Ain't that the truth! I call her Jennifer "B".

Can't believe how back biting the women are, what a poor choice of candidates. They are just going to keep losing. And when the leader of the men joins them they will be out to get her next.
They were so stupid to clean the restaurant themselves. Trump didn't say anything about a budget.

Probably just a casualty of editing, I am certain that each team was given a budget. After being burned in the last task by overruns, Team PMS was extra sensitive to not going over, and did you notice how they all showed a look of surprise when someone mentioned that Team Mosaic had cleaned their place? Apparently no one on that first day had thought about the need to clean it! Thus they probably didn't have any room in the budget, were afraid to dip into the contingency funds and lose their safety net for cost surprises of the next day, and decided to clean it themselves(though not necessarily a unanimous decision.)

This really should be a two-hour show, so much pertinent info seems to get edited out.

I think tonight has something to do with a restaurant. Too bad for Stacie J, she might have done well with this one.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're so right. Those conniving women did themselves out of a real pro and took a much-deserved loss. Could it be that Donald, knowing the restaurant contest was coming up, fired Stacie J to set up the nasty women to take still another much-deserved fall? I loved Carolyn's comments on their inappropriate black dresses in a jeans neighborhood. Where did they get these female contestants? I can't see a single one with real executive talent.

I'm curious if next week Pam is simply added to team PMS, or also appointed as their leader(which would really be unfair to her in a way, but that's how business works sometimes.)

Interesting thought. Pam isn't a strong candidate to win but probably better than the other clucking hens.

You were right, as well, about munchkin Stacy, who looked as bad at the restaurant as the rest of them. But I was really happy to see all-talk, no-walk Jennifer fired. I think the women are hopeless!

"Personally I don't like Trump, but these episodes are like biz school case studies with a little drama thrown in."

Agree with you about Trump, having met him once. It has nothing to do with that terrible hair of his! But the show The Apprentice can show people how to be successful in business. That's a plus.

I fear for Pam, the claws will be out for her!

I wish we had heard about the budget, the guys were sensible to have someone else clean and get the rest. The girls seemed surprised that cleaning was a good idea.

Carloyn hates all of the girls but I think the lawyer Jennifer might have something going for her. Don't know yet.

Team PMS looked stupid in their black dress uniforms standing around talking to themselves.

Their decor was minimalist but hardly a disaster, I sure wouldn't blame losing on that alone.

Little Stacy will be interesting to watch when it is her turn to be PM.
