With Donald Trump in charge, 'Apprentice' isn't business as usual (NBC reality show debuts today)

One lesson is abundantly clear in "The Apprentice," the new reality show that positions Donald Trump as a demigod. Money -- even The Donald's billions of dollars -- can't buy good hair. With his seedy combover, which perches on his forehead like a mohair racoon, the world-famous real estate baron is living proof that conspicuous consumption does not necessarily include a personal Fab Five.

Thanks for the ping! Definitely going to watch The Apprentice tonight.

You are correct, none of them is that stupid (except Omarosa). She is the perfect victim and so in love with herself that everyone else finds her detestable.

I have to wonder if she saved the piece of 'ceee-ment' which struck her on the head. She'll need it as evidence when she goes to court and sues The Donald.

Apprentice’ star stands by claims of racist treatment
(Now Omarosa is a "star", not just a "contestant!!!!)

Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth says she was racially insulted by other "Apprentice" contestants.

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.

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.

Manigault-Stallworth is negotiating a book deal and a talk show, and is interested in doing political commentary for the upcoming presidential election.

What?!

She's going to run for office?

How fun! We'd still have Omarosa to kick around!

LOL

[cyncooper]

Omarosa, who was neither committed nor hard-working, and certainly not marvelous."

For once I believe a Gore staffer.

No surprise. We all had her number early on.

And you can just bet there's a whole slew of people that will eat it right up and always and forever believe she was called that word.

[Unknown Freeper]

I heard that tonight's episode will be a recap episode where we get to see behind the scenes activities and explanations for certain decisions. Does this mean we will get to see the Omorosa-cam as the paint chip repeatedly falls on her head in slow motion?

[MindBender26]

In a Gerrymandered A/A district, she would easilly win a Congressional election.

She is Black
She has been on TV
She says she is a "victim."
She was possible called a name.

Winner in a landslide! ....and I am not kidding.

[MindBender26]

possible = possibly

[cyncooper]

She's a looker and very articulate. I agree, with the right constituency she'd breeze in and the cables would love her as a guest.

By the time she's done she'll claim every Republican called her the "n" word.

[FairOpinion]

In my TV schedule it said that today Trump will explain his decisions for the past 10 weeks -- so there won't be a new episode.

The final episode will air live on Apr. 15th 8-10 pm.

[cyncooper]

Yes, I saw that, too.

It's JUST starting here.

[FairOpinion]

Here on the West coast I'll have to wait a couple of hours -- it will start two hours from now.

PS. when Trump was on Larry King, a caller asked him about his hair, he said, it was genuine, and even pulled it back from his forehead and revealed a perfectly normal hairline.

[PJ-Comix]

Is Trump actually saying "horny" in his new commercial take-off of The Appentice? In this Verizon Wireless commercial Trump sounds like he is saying, "You ARE fired you minute-horny clock-watcher."

Is this correct. Anyway it sure got my attention plus a bellylaugh!

[cyncooper]

LOL!

He's saying "minute-hoarding".

[SugarRay]

Now that Assaroma has played the race card, can Jesse Jackson be far behind? I am anxiously awaiting his entry into the fray...

[PJ-Comix]

Oh. Thanx.

[cyncooper]

Saw an ad last night for Thursday's show and Trump is shown saying somthing about "Who came up with that stupid concept?" We can't wait to find out!

[1L]

She's going to run for office?

Great. All we need is another Sheila Jackson Lee or the Watts area rep. type idiot that wonders where the American flag is on Mars and why the CIA pushed drugs in the LA ghetto.
