The Celebrity Apprentice 2

[robinb]

She may have made assignments based on strengths - but she didn't suppor thier strengths. Melissa obviously did a good job with the clothes and jewerly. She didn't appreciate her contribution - instead she just wanted money. I don't appreciate a leader who can't use the strengths of their team in a way where everyone feels like they've contributed.

Huh? I heard her say to Melissa that she appreciated her contribution more than once. Right there in the boardroom the first thing out of her mouth was how much Melissa did for the project. It seems to me that no matter what Annie did, Melissa would have kvetched about it. IMO, she needed too much stroking and ego boosting.

Did anyone else catch how unfair the money raising system is? Annie's charity walked away with $200,000, while Jessie's only got $20,000. And Jessie said last week he had people in Hollywood, who could have given $1M if he called them up, and then for his task, he didn't need to raise money.

That's one of the reasons why Annie waited so long to be a project manager. She wanted a fund raising project that was going to bring her charity more than a corporate challenge. Jesse was just busy trying to fly under the radar until he couldn't do it any longer.

Natalie~ I thought she really had a great stratedgy calling Annie's rivals. Where Natalie went really wrong was not having a back up stratedgy. Yes she picked poor pieces but if she had come up with enough $$ and won the task it wouldn't have mattered. I also think Joan should have told Natalie to keep in mind its a runway show and the pieces need to be seen , so pick larger pieces.

Annie~ I really can't stomach her. She is so two faced. I hope Brande sees the tapes of Annie trashing her. And she lies through her teeth. I really enjoyed her flipping out over Natalie. I wish it worked it would have been sweet. I think she is totalling playing Trump. She presents one face to the team and flips into another in the boardroom. She is also a control freak. I hope she leaves soon but she is a very good manipulator so I can she her in the top 2. But hope to God she doesn't win.

Brande~ I think she has lasted this long by flying under the radar and because Trump is in lust with her. She should be the next to go if Clint doesn't go. She has contributed very little to the teams.

Clint~ I think he is an ego maniac. Every thing revolves around him (the ALL campaign ~ I know I'll be in bed masturbating using ALL, Schwan I know people will buy it if I'm at my tour bus and you say I'd buy it ) I was really surprized when he didn't say good bye to Hershel, he slipped a few more notches for that.

Hershal~ I think Joan was right his Mom should be proud he played the game with a lot of class.

Joan & Melissa ~ Can't separate these two I wonder how many of us could listen to our Mother/Child be trashed. I know its a game blah blah blah but you are not talking about a role in a play these are real people with real feelings. There are people trying to stab you in the back and walk over you and honestly I don't know if I wouldn't jump to their defense. I also don't think that either of them will win.

Jesse~ I understand Jesse hanging back. I don't believe he cares for Annie at all. I think he is saving his $people for himself. He said as much. He gambled that his team would win and he'd be around for another day. He is very driven and quietly will do what it takes to win. He isn't the loud mouth bully that Annie is and ultimately I think you get more flies with honey. It may come down to Jesse vs Annie. I hope Jesse wins because I can't stand Annie.

Melissa's acting like a 2 year old .........A 2 year old with a potty-mouth

 

[Anne34]

Did you see the way she ordered everyone to bring her bags to her?! Come on -- she can't even go get them herself? Will the other contaminate her? She's one scary chick & I'm glad I never have to cross her (or her mother!)

I think the note Trump passed to Kramer told him who he wants fired and for Kramer to back him up.

Kramer totally looked shocked, then he changed his tune really quick, but he still had a deer in the headlights look. -->

I think next week it is down to the final four as the live finale is in TWO weeks.

 

[stacy347]

Wow...

Honestly, I don't think Melissa should have been fired but she is making herself look trashier than Annie (which I didn't think was possible).

 

[Robinrs]

omG, that was nasty....

No way I'd make a fool out of myself in front of those two .... she most've had a ROUGH time in high school.... and she's reliving it on nationwide television.

It was pitiful, really pitiful.

Kramer will change his tune for a dime, he does it regularly... he's the brown noser of broadcasting!

Brande came across like an airhead and should have been fired. The people who are leaving are only gone to keep the ratings up, it's disgusting. As for Clint and Annie... only people with English accents act like creeps and get away with it on TV!!

 

[Imzadi]

She probably didn't know where they were. The production assitants probably took them so she wouldn't have to go back up to the room like she did. They probably usually take them when they know who is fired, so that person can just do their interview (that she said she wouldn't do) and then hop into that car for the final ride to be shot.

 

[corvair]

No way should Melissa been fired...but for ratings, I am sure Trump is keeping Annie for that reason. She really is playing everyone. I know that is part of the game...but she is down right nasty.

The show won't be as good without Joan.

 

[Imzadi]

Joan was right about one thing. Even Trump brought it up. He asked how Brandi thinks it will be if she's the one left with Annie next week.

Brandi is an idiot if she thinks Annie won't turn and slit her throat first chance she gets.

He asked Annie who would be harder competiton in the following week & she said Brandi. That was an absolute lie. She knows Brandi doesn't have the brain to compete with her. She's been playing Brandi for the past few weeks and the blonde airhead doesn't know it.


Since Trump made it clear it's all down to money, I think Jesse can still win it all. He makes one phone call (maybe two) to Hollywood and he brings in a couple million, and game over.

I agree, I think that they do the interview first, and then their stuff is brought to them. She just wasn't doing the interview and wanted to leave then. I think she was behaving badly though.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Histrionics aside, Annie should have been fired (every week, even the weeks Athena won, but that's another story ).

Annie did everything. Annie took on everything. Annie made every decision. Athena lost. Fire Annie.

 

[Imzadi]

I agree. But, she kind of knew Annie & Brandi would gang up on her. That was no surprise. I wonder if what set her off was how Trump passed that note to Kramer. That was kind of high schoolish, too. Kramer was all over Brandi up to that point. Then suddenly, he's ganging up on Melissa, too, with Trump as the clique leader.

I wonder if Trump wrote, "I'm sleeping with Brandi," on the note.

I hate Donald Trump...I think he is an absolute ***. I do love Celebrity Apprentice, though, and I was very disappointed with how things turned out last night. I don't like Melissa Rivers, but I did come to respect her professionalism and work ethic. Up until this program I had no idea that she even had a talent, or a profession, other than being Joan's daughter. I think that she worked hard on every task. To find out that none of it makes any difference, and that it all comes down to who has friends with deeper pockets, was really almost insulting to the viewers.

Annie took complete ownership of the project when they met with Cramer prior to the presentation. Everything was "I did this, and I came up with..., and I was tasked with..." until they got to the boardroom. Then it was "I did what my project manager told me to do..." If you own it, then own it in the boardroom too. Cramer himself said that she set herself up to take all of the credit, and none of the blame. I can't stand her. I love Jesse James and I hope that he pulls in the big guns next week. He and Annie will be the project managers (since Brande and Clint were this week) so they will go head to head (unless they switch them to individual tasks).

[Tikitoi]

So Melissa Rivers, showed her true colors of being a spoiled celebrity.

 

[momrek06]

O...M...G, Melissa Rivers is NASTY. Foul mouthed, out of control, spoiled brat PERIOD. When she watches C.A. she will be shocked at how CHILDISH she has acted through the last few episodes.

That being said, I agree that the PM should GO, when they lose the task BUT in this case, it is about the $$$$ for the charities they have selected to play for AND Brandi and Annie bring in MORE $$$$ than Melissa PERIOD. (So much for all the RIVERS close CELEBRITY friends helping them out.)

And Joan quitting the show when Melissa got fired....STUPID.

I mean last week when Melissa was defending Joan against Annie WHO WAS ON MELISSA's TEAM...sheesh.

Joan and Melissa need to get themselves back to Kindergarten and learn how to play a game, any game; as it appeared to me that they have never learned properly how to play a game and GET ALONG with your team mates and/or your opponents.

I was also mad at Jesse's meltdown. I agree maybe Clint was not listening to Jesse's ideas but for Jesse to get all angry is also not professional at all AND in the end they WON.

And I think TRUMP has a huge CRUSH on Brandi and Brandi KNOWS IT!

Next week ought to be interesting...will she show up OR not??? If it is to BERATE Annie & Brandi then "STAY THE HE** HOME, JOAN".

 

[PatsMom]

They did edit for maximum drama by having us all waiting to see if Joan is back next week or not! If you go to the official web site, Joan is still showing as an active participant. The ones who were fired have their picture "grayed out". Hers is still in color. So I suspect she will be back.

Jesse was a disappointment last night. He did not behave well at all. But Clint wasn't much better.
