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

Boston Globe ^ | Jan. 8, 2004 | Matthew Gilbert

[FairOpinion]

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.

Have it revealed that she's a Trump employee already?

[bonfire]

Good possibility. Something is up, that is for sure. Maybe she was put in there to see who could survive her tactics?

[PJ-Comix]

My imagination is working overtime tonight, but I'm wondering if Omarosa wasn't a plant from the beginning.

I doubt it. I don't think NBC would risk charges of racism by making her look so bad. Also former Commerce Dept. employees have already affirmed that Omarosa was actually WORSE than she appeared on the Apprentice.

Last night's episode was one of the best. From Amy looking like an "empty suit" to the candid opinions from the four Trump associates, it was great TV. Even Captain PBear liked it.

Dramarosa is delusional and Kwame will have to do something about her or he will not win.

[MomwithHope]

I was so hoping no one would want to pick Omarosa. Since Trump said they were now employees of Kwame's and Bill's I don't know why he just didn't fire her on the spot after it was obvious how she lied. Saw the commercial for the "You're Fired" merchandise and had a thought. When Trump says he will hire someone to run one of his companies for one year, it might just be the brand new You're Fired Merchandising Company. Whoever wind will surely not get trusted with a bigger company than that.

The Girls of Apprentice Show Their Soft Side

Hope no one on the ping list is offended by this.  I suspect if you could handle Omarosa each week, this certainly wouldn't be offensive.  P.S.  Don't forget to set the TIVO for DATELINE on Wednesday.  Behind the scenes look at Apprentice, including original audition tapes. 

[EllaMinnow]

Well, now, that's just tacky. Not of you, of them.

[pbear8]

I think this is a stupid thing for people who really want to be taken seriously to do. They've sunk to the Barbie doll level.

Thanks for the Dateline info!

>Hope no one on the ping list is offended by this:

I AM TOTALLY, COMPLETELY OFFENDED! In fact, it took me about 5 to 10 minutes looking at the picture to understand just how offended I am...

In fact, every time I look at it, I am even more offended. When I zoom in on certain portions of the photo, I am even more TOTALLY offended!

Any chance you could offend me again tomorrow, say, about 3:30, when the afternoon doldrums set in.....

:~)

PS, remember, Conservative doesn't mean dull.........

[MindBender26]

Youda Man!

[ClintonBeGone]

LOL :)

[ClintonBeGone]

Lucky you caught it. It looks like the picture has disappeared.

[ClintonBeGone]

They're baaaaack!

[1L]

Terrible picture. Idiot photographer doesn't know to not straight line the flash into the wall? That is so amatuerish, it doesn't even look good as an intentional effect.

[Unknown Freeper]

Okay, it's Thursday. What are the predictions? And what is going to go wrong on live tv?

[PJ-Comix]

I'm not giving my prediction but I know who SHOULD win. As far as I'm concerned Kwame showed a greivous error in judgement by chosing Omarosa to work for him last week. Anyway, it will be fun to watch but, really, Bill really DESERVES to win.

[spectre]

I vote for "Bill".

Is anyone going to start a new "live" thread????

sw

[Unknown Freeper]

You're right, PJ. I also wonder who might be a plant as people were theorizing last week. And will there be an uglier side of Omarosa to see tonight.

[cincinnati65]

Can there be an uglier side of Omarosa?

[cyborg]

last episode Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! :)
