The weekly Apprentice thread...

[Cindy B]

What did everyone think of the episode?

I thought Troy was not underhanded, just very very shrewd. (And too bad that he is married... he's a cutie!)

Personally I think Katrina had a huge attitude. Omorosa, although I understand where she got hurt, could have done more work.

Hiedi.. Hiedi.. what a trooper. I personally didn't like Heidi at first, but I have grown respect for her.

Did everyone notice that the men got haircuts? Troy's hair looked better, same with Bills. I couldn't tell if Kwame got a cut, but his looked shorter also

Ok, I knew that Tami was going into the boardroom. I sort of hoped that it would have been Katrina. If she was the real estate professional that she is, (I read that she is one of the top 3% sales professional in the country).. she should have negiotiated as well.

I think Bill did as well as he could with the info he had.

I'm glad the other team got Amy.

Amy is really proving to be a force in this game, but a quiet one. I really hope she's the one who goes all the way.

I thought Troy did great! While I didn't care for his stunt at Planet Hollywood I thought this was just great. He knew which one he wanted and he knew she wanted the same one. So he played a game and brought it down to chance and he was lucky to win it!

I too thought that if Katrina is that much of a Real Estate wiz that she should have been the one to negotiate. Maybe having 5 people in the room would be too much - but 2 wouldn't have been. It could have been both her and Bill.

I still don't care for Heidi, but I think she did great last night considering the news she had gotten. She's a tropper and I think that will help her in Trumps eyes.

Omorosa should be glad her team won - because she would have been put up for sure! She better watch her step because she's got some great people on her team that have really proven themselves.

I was hoping Omorosa's team would lose just so she could go to the board room and be fired! I really hope they get rid of her soon. If her head hurt too much to help with the renovations, she shouldn't have gone out and played basketball. Her teams win had NOTHING to do with her.

I agree, I was hoping they would lose so Omorosa would get fired. Oh well, maybe next week. I was glad to see Tammi go, she irked me. For some reason when she was in the taxi after she was fired, she reminded me of Sam after he got fired, totally clueless.....

 

[KristiKelly]

We too were hoping Omorosa's team would lose. If her head hurt that bad, maybe she should have gone to see a Dr. Oh, better not, he would've told her that she was fine and she would have to work. I can't wait for her to be outta there! I am glad to see Tammi go though.

 

[Robinrs]

Last night's show was incredible! I was SOO glad the other team finally lost, that Katrina is so cocky. She came off like a witch last night, and I always admired her before tonight!

Troy is my hero!! I've always liked him but last night I LOVED him!! What a guy! I didn't think he did anything wrong, I think Katrina's reaction to him showed her lack of maturity. And the fact that she told Donald that she'd never been duped... KEEP LIVING WOMAN!

Tammy, well, good riddance. She was such a nuisance. The fact that you have to cringe everytime a grown person opens her mouth is inexcusable. Unfortunately she never learned a thing, she was like meeshi said, CLUELESS.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

<font color=navy>I'm glad that Katrina's team (was that Protoge?) won just because they keep losing. I'm rooting for Troy, and don't think he played underhanded. They're all going for that big job, and I don't think anyone should really trust anyone else. His good boy attitude hides a pretty tough guy.

That part where Omarossa played ball ... I don't know ... I wonder if she was put up to that to add more controversy to the show. I can't believe that she would go play while on camera after bailing out of the work - it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm glad Tami went - she's been hampering her team for awhile now -- although I'll miss opportunities to watch her comments

That excuse Katrina gave about having to babysit Tami ... I know she had been concerned about what Tami might have said to prospective buyers, but she could have told the other team to watch her. Since real estate is her forte, she should have been there to close the deal instead of Bill.

Trump faces the ones who have left the show so far on Oprah today. I want to watch that.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Tami always said the wrong things. She must be smart, but she's like socially unskilled. I kind of thought that she would be gone pretty soon. I'm suprised that Omarosa is still on, the group seems to not like her, and I have a feeling that her time is getting shorter.

I have no idea how Trump decides what makes a successful business person. I'm just glad I'm not on the show!

 

[legs22]

I don't think Troy did anything wrong either. I think he's smart. And I really like him
I wish it was Katrina that got fired. She kept complaining about Troy being dishonest but she couldn't face the fact that she was indeed duped. I just loved it when Tammy agreed with the other team that yes, their team was duped. And why didn't Katrina do the negotiating if she is this big deal realtor?
I was disappointed that Omarosa was on the winning team because I think she needs to be fired.

 

[cheeringmom]

What did you all think of Heidi's comments about talking to Mr Trump like he was a friend? I hope she remembers who he is -her boss. I think she has a lot of potential but when I heard that last night I was thinking oh no don't treat him like a friend!!! Hes your boss!!!ugh

 

[CBRorBust]

Ditto to pretty much everything you guys said.

Troy's a keeper
Would have liked to see Katrina go
Bill did what he could with what he was given
Tami....

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I found it odd too that Katrina didn't do the negotiating when she claims to be in the top 3% in sales as a real estate agent. Either she's lying about how good she is or maybe she felt she wouldn't be able to negotiate a good deal based on the property and it would have made her look even worse.

I am glad though that Tammi is gone. She really was lacking social skills. Isn't she the one who asked Trump's girlfriend how does she clean the apartment

 

[preshi]

I'm so glad Tami is gone...she made me cringe everytime she opened her big mouth...now if we could just get Omarosa out of there

 

[luvstiggertoo]

I too am glad that Tami is gone, although I really didin't think she deserved to be fired last night. She really didn't do anything wrong.
I really thought that Katrina should have gone. First off, for acting so immaturely regarding Troy's "duping". She just needed to accept the fact that he outsmarted her and move on, but she continued to hold a grudge about that the whole time. Also, I think she failed her team by delegating the negotiation task to Bill. As others have said, if she is the real estate professional that she says she is, she should have taken on that responsibility. I think she delegated the task because she knew that the negotiation would make or break the team and quite possibly be the reason for being fired.

Nonetheless, I'm glad to see Tami go. She was a detriment to her team.

Now, hopefully Omarosa goes next week. I cannot stand her!

I gained alot of respect for Heidi last night. I love the comment that Amy made comparing Omarosa's "headache" to Heidi's devastating news. Omarosa made such a drama scene over it, yet Heidi just pulled it together and move forward. That is the sign of a true professional in my opinion.

I love Troy and I hope he wins it all!!!

Just like the business world in real life, she made a great decision on not being the 'negotiator'. It's CYA, the less responsibility you take for important tasks, the less chance you have of being 'fired'. If she had been the Project Manager AND the negotiator on rent, she certainly would have been gone when they lost.

 

[luvstiggertoo]

Bob NC...I don't think that's being a good manager though. A good manager delegates those tasks to the folks that can successfully handle them. However, a good manager also must take responsibility for his/her actions. Either, take on the responsibility yourself, knowing you'll do the best job or stand up and say, I made a bad decision in delegating this task.

All she was doing was saving her A**.

 

[disneyfan551]

Heidi looked like she wanted to go around and hug ole' friend Don when she was leaving!

 

[niks81]

Hmmm, some of my opinions differ slightly

I'm surprised that there are a nice handful of you guys rooting for Troy!! I liked Troy up until last night...he was a weasel!! It wasn't just the stunt he pulled with Katrina...but it was his whole attitude...yuck--not for me

I was sooooo glad Tami was booted! UGH! She made me cringe...everything she said was so...idiotic? I mean she would say things at the wrong time, and what she said was usually enough to make her team cringe. She had to go.

I think last night I noticed a few things about others that I hadn't before. I think that Ereka and Katrina can both be rather snotty (I could refer to another word but I'll hold out )

I think the two with the most potential are Amy and Bill....and I'm rooting for either of them.

Oh, and how could I forget....Omarosa has to go!! She has major issues with accepting responsibility, working as a team and having a bad attitude!

 

[goodstarr]

I'm keeping my eye on Nick. He has this irritating smirk when someone gets booted (sort of sinister). He seems a little smug to me. Katrina is a little snotty, I agree. She was a big baby about being duped. But I do believe that Troy was dishonest in his handling of the apartment situation. Didn't they say at the beginning that they were supposed to come to an agreement of who would take what apartment? So deceiving her into finding out which one she wanted was not playing by the rules. If anyone else would have done what Omarosa did, she'd have been ALL OVER THEM.

 

[disneyjunkie]

I still like Omarosa.

When they were showing the previews for next week, she said something about kicking the person back that kicked her. If someone kicked her, I think that person will get booted off the the show.

I hope Ereka or Katrina are the next ones to go.
