SPOILER, SEASON 2!

He's pretty mean coz the girls were horrible. I'd say, bring more of that in the succeeding boardrooms!

This second season, the atmosphere has changed from "Survivor for Contestants with Brains" to "Big Brother in the Corporate World". It's just so nasty. Bickering "professionals" in business suits acting like students from an exclusive all-girls high school.

I don't think Trump will win the Emmy's next year. I so hope not!

And what's with the emperor music thing in the background...when he enters the scene and meets with the group? Wala ata nung first season yun? Is that his signature song, ala Darth Vader? Everytime he comes into the scene, may emperor-type music. It's not grand, which I think they'd want to project.....in fact, it's too funny in a really, really pathetic way.

Survivor Vanuatu's become the least interesting of the Survivor installments and now this.....Mark Burnett's ideas are now.....well, broken.

You know, I very quickly lost interest in this show, considering I just saw and loved Season One a few weeks ago.

You're right. This has turned into a b**ch-fest. And I think the main problem is, last year, most of the contestants actually wanted and needed the job. It seems this year, they're mostly in it for their 15 minutes of fame.

Case in point: The second person evicted. In an interview she/he said that winning The Apprentice 2 and getting the $250,000 a year salary would have been a HUGE pay cut, compared to his/her current earnings.

So why join in the first place, di ba?

read spoilers and outcomes of the first season but I still found it engaging when it debuted last night on Star World. I got hooked so much. I saw the repeats with Justine when she arrived from school. Sam and Omarosa are entertaining.

The season two is much more ruthless and yeah I have to agree a bitch-fest as well.

Regardless, I love watching it and i love business stuff! Its as if your attending Business 101 every Monday night with Trump.

Yeah. Got tired of watching it after the episode with the apartment (yet again) in Season 2. I must be starting to get tired of the Reality TV formula, 'xcept for TAR. Or maybe I just didn't like the b*tchfest much. Hmmm.

pardon my ignorance but when someone is fired, and walks out the Trump Tower to board a cab, where do they go?

I was channel surfing just now, and saw that the host of this year's Miss World Contest is The Apprentice 1 contestant Troy McClain.

Funny!

Hmm... I don't know, but isn't the appeal of The Apprentice mainly because of the ridiculously enormous ego of The Donald? So how can all these other franchises work?

Edited to add: OMG! Look at that really OLD Carolyn!

Anyone watching the third season?

Visible spoiler ahead:

I like the twist of last week's episode - when it came down to the final two, instead of bringing in the closest runners up to help them with the final task, as they have in the past...

They brought in the most dysfunctional/psychotic contestants from the season!

You gotta hand it to Mark Burnett - that's a brilliant twist to make for good TV!

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #49 on:** May 15, 2005 at 11:52 PM »

I just watched the penultimate episode, where the final two faced off in their last task.

Wow, I've never seen such a clear winner between two finalists. It's very similar to Brian versus Clay the Cockroach on Survivor: Thailand. It'll be the shock of the year if Trump chooses the other way on live TV next week.

I'm surprised at the behavior of one of the finalists, though. Unprofessional and petty are the only words for it. Okay, maybe "pathetic," too.

Bring on the next installment! This show is back.

The new season starts tonight.

The Apprentice 5

Compared to the Tana vs. Kendra season, last season's Randal vs. Rebecca final showdown was tense.

I know this show is getting tiresome but I still end up watching, just like Survivor.

Just found out. One contestant is a Filipina, Charmaine

I've heard of a gracious loser, but I think that was the first non-gracious winner I've seen. Definitely the closest two contestants ever came in a final task from my point of view.

On to Season 5... although I doubt I'll be able to catch up in time for tonight's finale.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #52 on:** Jun 05, 2006 at 10:29 PM »

This was the worst final four ever. We could not root for anyone in the final two. Perhaps the best thing to happen this season was Ivanka Trump! She's hot!

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #53 on:** Jun 06, 2006 at 09:17 PM »

I don't know, I was rooting for the British guy since Day One, so I'm not completely disappointed in the final four. Not too fond of the other three, especially the conniving girls, but my other choices were fired much earlier in the season.

Random thoughts:

1. Based on Seasons 4 and 5, it seems George is spending as little time possible with the show. Bill Rancic is in far more episodes than George in these last two seasons. Is George retiring from the Trump Organization soon?

2. I was laughing at the first Board Room firing in Season 5, since it looked like it was Orlando Bloom vs. Grace Adler.

3. While Ivanka is hot, it's not quite right to have her and Don as The Donald's aides. He tends to listen more to them and not follow his gut, which was more entertaining and surprising in the past.

4. Didn't the Russian and the fat lawyer seem like moles planted in order to spice things up? I can't see how you can choose people as bizarre and incompetent as them otherwise.

On with the show...

Come to think of it, he's the best choice among the poor roster but he didn't impress me with his leadership and especially his presentation skills.

I love how she's always calling out the conniving girls especially Allie.

Oh come on, how can you not love the guy who came up with the funniest line of the season:

"You know what, Synergy? The cast of Dynasty just called, they want their shoulder pads back! My god, it was horrendous!"

I'm still laughing now at BOTH the finalists choices for their three team mates. One chose the tall redhead with the superiority complex, Orlando Bloom with ADD, and the hot girl with no taste who he just happens to have a crush on, while the other chose the stubborn Russian, the two-faced black girl, and Pepi!

Caroline's reaction: Priceless.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #56 on:** Jun 07, 2006 at 05:26 AM »

That's right. The fashion show a la Project Runway.

Lee may have been the PM there but it was Sean's so-called metrosexuality that won them the task.

Caroline was hilarious there. Trump doesn't even remember firing poor Pepi.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #57 on:** Jun 13, 2006 at 10:36 PM »

After watching the execution of the final tasks, no one deserved to win. The celebrities were treated quite poorly in the hockey match, mostly because of the Russian guy and the PM's lack of organizational skills, while British guy neglected vital parts of his task in order to flirt.

I think the break until January will do the show good. But the move to L.A. concerns me: Considering their jobs are NY-based, will George and Caroline move to the West Coast for the duration of the season? It seems unlikely, as George is old and Caroline has young children. I like what they bring to the show, and I wouldn't want to watch "The Trump Family & Bill Rancic Board Room" on a permanent basis.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #58 on:** Sep 01, 2006 at 06:05 AM »

Carolyn is fired!

I love Ivanka but she can never replace the best thing left in this show.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #59 on:** Sep 01, 2006 at 10:20 AM »

Despite her "excessive self promotion," The Donald should have known that Carolyn was an integral part of his dying TV show, and should've kept her if only for the sake of that venture.

I suppose his ego couldn't accept her popularity. He's the guy audiences watch and mock for being himself, while she's the one people watch and actually admire on the show.

"Who's Pepi???"
