Do you believe what just happened on the apprentice???

[SalandJeff]

Did you just watch this. I can't believe he fired him. But the thing that I found really disappointing was the way Donald Trump behaved. I am no huge Trump fan. But I really enjoy this show. He was downright rude and obnoxious to the people in the boardroom (more than his usual self). I felt like he set Ivana up to bring Brad back in so he could fire him...she said she was bringing 2 people and he urged her to rethink...bring three...then called her indecisive. I almost felt like he was doing the whole thing for more ratings...but it just made me really disappointed in the whole show.

Didn't see it because all we're getting is hurricane coverage on all channels. Will it come on again?

This episode of The Apprentice is scheduled to be repeated on Saturday.

I can not believe the outcome, either.

I agree! Trump was a pompous, rude, overbearing stuffed shirt tonight.
He really turned me off of this show.

I was shocked! I guess I can understand why he think's Brads mistake is bigger than what happened on the assignment, but wow I would never do that. Guess that is why Trump has much more money than I do Its all for ratings. I don't think Brad will end up without a job from someone.

I thought Trump made a terrible decision. I thought both Ivana and Stacey were annoying and whiny and both of them need to go home soon. Brad I thought did a good job, and was just showing confidence in himself. Seems like Trump used to appreciate things like that. He seemed really rude in this episode to me too.

What was the mistake? I MISSED THAT ONE PART!!!!

Well, personally I think it was pretty stupid of Brad to give up his immunity (or whatever you call it! ). I certainly wouldn't have, I don't care how well I did on a task. It is a freebee and I would have ran with it! LOL

I was shocked too! I think Brad was too cocky, but he didn't deserve it.

It was definitely done for ratings. Bradford wanting to waive his exemption had nothing to do with them losing, and therefore should not have been fired. I also noticed Carolyn was a little aggressive tonight. Usually she's not so vocal with her opinion. I think they're definitely all aware of the cameras this year, which I think might make for a disappointing season.

I'm still in shock. Now I want to watch the show again on Saturday to see the extra 12 minutes in the boardroom. Maybe that will explain some of the attitude The Donald had.

Brad was exempt from being fired this week because he was the project manager of the winning team last week. When in the boardroom with the team, when Trump questioned him, Brad said he thought he did such a good job that he was willing to waive his exemption. Trump kind of lead Ivana to take 3 people with her including Brad. He then fired Brad for being stupid enough to waive his exemption.

The mistake was Brad waiving his exemption to be fired.

I missed most of what the Donald had to say. Repeats Saturday.

It was done for ratings, I'm sure.

But regardless, I was pretty shocked.

I'm sure Brad won't have a problem finding success now =)

C'mon...you KNOW he's not going to fire "IVANA" yet...he's having WAY too much fun watching her sweat and getting to use his Ex's name in the process. The look on Bradfords face was just like a little boy who had been sent to a corner...and can you believe the Donalds new board game? hmmmm, is he thinking it's the "hot" Christmas item?

he's gotta bring those casino's back somehow.

As soon as he gave up his immunity, I had a bad feeling he was the one who was going to get fired. Even though Bradford performed well on the challenge, I think Trump saw the move as arrogant. I thought he was going to be around longer than the second episode.

I was hoping that Ivana would go ... my friends were shocked that they would let the cart separation thing stop them from selling ice cream. They thought that it would be better to sell the stuff from two different locations.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I think the only reason Bradford was fired is because he said "Caroline" instead of "Carolyn". She looked like fire was going to come out of her ears. And then D.T. made the comment: "Always make sure you know the judge's name."

Plus, he tried to change the rules. Obviously D.T. and the powers-that-be decided they wanted someone to have an exemption every week. It's like Bradford didn't like the present he was given.

I knew Stacie wasn't going to get the boot as she's definitely this season's Omarosa. Kind of does her own thing and everybody else hates her for it.

I'll tell you who really bugs me -- Bow Tie Guy!

My wife called the firing as soon as Ivana picked Brad for the boardroom and during the commercial break she gave almost the exact reason that Trump said himself why he was sending Brad home.

He absolutely made the right call. Trump seems to look at the bigger picture and tonight it wasn't about selling ice cream it was about putting yourself (and a company you could possibly be running) at risk for no reason at all.

This show confirmed my belief that it is a set up........regardless of what Bradford did, he did do a good job. Everyone else on the team complained about Stacie J and it was obvious she was the weak link and would continue to cause havoc with the team, she should have been booted...............but as one poster said she is the Omarosa of this season and was kept for ratings, but I for one feel this is reality tv and it should be kept as close to being real as possible, and in real life she would have been gone!
