The Apprentice? Anyone watch?

[Skywalker]

What did you think about last night's two shows?

I was surprised at Lee's sudden friendship with Lenny, but its nice he was so loyal anyway. But I did get annoyed with him comparing himself to Donald Trump all the time.

I think both firings were justified last night.

And I'm glad to see Tarek is still safe...I really think he got unjustifiably picked on a few times.

Are any of you starting to pick favourites to win yet?

Anyone else notice in the opening shots, with everyone's pictures and names, that Lee has TWO compared to everyone else's one?

Just saw that last night.

He certainly seems to be enough of a politician and rump-kisser to do well with the Donald - I wonder if he'll go all the way?

No, I hadn't noticed that before. Hmmmm. Yep, he's a rump-kisser all right. LOL.

I thought last night was pretty good, and I agree, the two that got fired deserved it. Lenny is such a smart-alec!! My dh and i were laughing at his comments in the boardroom! Also, did anyone notice how tired Leslie looked? Her eyes were puffy and it looked like her face was kinda swollen. She just didn't look good. I think she was relieved to be done. Oh, and what about Charmaine? What a suck up!! I hope she's gone next! First trying to ask Lenny if they were friends after the boardroom, then on the second show her comments to Donald about Leslie and Lee....get out of here already!!

ok...just my 2 cents.

Who got fired on the second show? I fell asleep at the end.

 

[Jennifer S]

Leslie got fired.

The rich girl w/ the red hair (forget her name) gets on my nerves. She thinks she is so smart - which she seems to be but I just don't like her. I could see her winning though.

I like Tarek too. Lee is a kiss-up.

I agree with you on this. I hope the red head doesn't win. She has a superiority complex-big time. If you recall a few episodes ago, she blasted another contestant by ridiculing their 50K salary compared to hers.

I used to watch, but 24 Trumps The Apprentice for me every time, so I don't watch it anymore....

Hi all - I watch the Apprentice too and have to agree with a previous poster, that Leslie looked very tired and old, but I bet she is pretty young, probably late 20's, but she looked about 40 something by the end of the show.

I don't see anyone who sticks out as the "winner" this year. Charmaine is actually starting to grow on me. That redhead chick is for lack of better words a b*tch. I wouldn't want to work for her and I can see her and Carolyn butting heads before the series is through.

The thing about Andrea, what a [word that starts with B and rhymes with witch]. I don't think i could work for someone like her. Or WITH someone like her. She is like a dictator. I would like to see her get hired, and then have her try to go against any ideas Trump has for her. She has already admitted she likes to be in total control. Does that me even above her BOSS? I can see it.

Who teared up at the Make A Wish reward? What a sweet girl. The mom sad she has Gioblastoma, and sadly, that is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. My brother died from it. Best case scenerio, he had 18 months to live, he died in 10 months, so I was sobbing during the reward part of the show, seeing that girl so happy, and her mom saying they need a new word to decribe it because happy was not enough, what her little girl was feeling was bigger than happy. sob,sob, sob, because that little girl does not have long to be happy again.

I was glad Leslie got fired. They did not even want to listen to Lee when he tried to tell them the price was way to high. I wouldn't be caught dead buying a pre-package sandwich from any convenience store for $2.00, nevermind $8.00!!!!!!! The cooler was a great promo item, but you can't expect people to pay for it in the price of the item.

 

[SeeDisney]

only watched the first one with DH and oldest DS. We were cracking up with Lenny-? the one who got fired first at the boardroom. He's funny to watch. Love his accent.


Videotaped the second one and will watch it later.


I enjoy watching the Apprentice.

I think the last 3 or 4 firings were no-brainers. It's sad to see Lenny go, because he added a lot of comedic value every week.

After watching every season, I have come to the conclusion that a couple things really bother me about the process.

1) Almost all tasks are marketing related, and deal with musics, art, etc. What in the world does that have to do with real estate? Or even business in general? Heck, look at Donald himself. You're telling me HE can come up with a jingle?

2) Those that step up and offer iseas are penalized for it. Tarek is a good example. Whether his ideas were terrible or not, they were adopted by the PM and the team in general. Yet people get fired for coming up with a bad idea. If you're the PM, that's fine. But if not, why should you be fired when your idea was used? So the 3 or 4 people sitting on their butts providing nothing useful get to slide?? That's exactly what happens.

The smart strategy seems to be keep a low profile for the first 6-8 weeks and work real hard but don't do anything to get fired.

Leslie said she did "1 hour of on-line research" for the price? 1 hour on-line? All she had to do was to actually walk into a 7-11 for 5 minutes and she would have been able to come up with a realistic price. My 11 year-old DD said "do they even have anything in 7-11 for that much money?"

And, I agree, that reward just brought tears to my eyes.

I agree Andrea has to go...... the whole "Okay, I'm just telling you it's going to be hats" thing just bugged me. She's controlling and - well you guys used a good word for it.

And Lee - I just don't like him. He's a politician and while his ideas may be good, he just doesn't do anything. He just bugs me.

I like Ally - I think she's sweet and thoughtful of the people around her. I haven't seen her leadership skills in a while, but her people skills are definitely top notch. I like Sean - I thought he was a good leader, and I've liked Tarek from the beginning. I agree that he's been the scapegoat for a lot of things - and Trump doesn't really seem to like him all that much, so we'll see.

 

[Minnesota!]

I like Lee, and Sean (he's the Brit, right?). I think Andrea is a Bee-otch, but she has a great name, LOL!

I think it will come down to Lee and the Brit...can't wait for next week!

 

[TXTink]

Loved your play on words!!

As far as last nights shows.... I'm going to miss Lenny just because he made me laugh so much!

 

[Robinrs]

I like Tarek and Sean, they're not bad on the eyes, either!

Couldn't STAND Lenny, glad to see him GONE!! He and Lee are the barracuda brown nosers I grew up with and worked with in New York... YUK!!! (not to mention the Donald, who was born in the same borough... ugh...)

I think Allie has a crush on Sean.. she is always all up on him and told him the other week how EVERYTHING he says sounds so "sexy"... I agree.

I cried twice last night...

The little Make a Wish girl... I put myself in the place of that Mom..how painful that must be. After burying my son I wish that pain on NO ONE.

And when Sean was SO HAPPY to be an American... it just brought back how important being one is! God bless America!

I hope Lee is next, he's good but he makes me sick!

 

[RUDisney]

Seeing Sean at the White House makes me want to take my kids to Washington to see America's government. Sean seemed so much like my kids... living the American Dream... knowing the importance and significance of being An American. Man, I can't wait for my kids to see that. They still remember seeing the Kremlin, but after 4.5 years, their allegiance is definitely to the US.

I hated seeing Lenny leave. Did he deserve to be fired? Sure. But, he reminded me of so many Russian men that I know.

I really wish the other team lost. I wanted to see them in the board room telling Trump about the laughing fit they had over Michael's inability to pick paint colors, or anything else for that matter. When Trump said that Lenny's team only met with the executives for 10 minutes while the other team met for 45, I yelled at the TV, "it's because Michael asked the same question over and over again in different ways!"

Then, when Lenny told Carolyn that it would "only" cost $99 to get a new keyboard if one breaks... I thought that Lenny should tell that to his relatives that are still in Russia... "only $99." That's close to a month's salary for many Moscovites. Lenny really played that "I'm sorry, I don't understand your culture" card too many times. Sean hasn't played it at all, that I've seen.

Leslie had to go, too. I half expected her to say, "but, please don't fire me. It's my birthday."

I like Lee and Sean (swoon over that accent!). And God help me I liked Lenny. Probably just the accent (I LOVE Russian accents). Tarek is growing on me. I didn't like him at all at first, but I'm starting to.

Andrea and Charmaine can GO HOME. And I'm glad Leslie is gone. I really wanted Trump to duct tape her mouth in the boardroom last night.
