At first, I wanted to think nothing of it...but all you do is play the race card. Can't you just shut the fuck up already? If the show was that racist Kwame wouldn't have made it that far in the 1st season. Seriously.

Shut.
The fuck.
Up.

IAWTP. ShadowRed, I will suggest you buy or download the Original Cast Recording of Avenue Q, and listen to track 5, "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist".

Then I want you to realize that serious racist actions are not people supposedly, in your mind, not liking people because they're of a different race; it also isn't about the producers not liking a certain person. Racism is not a term that should be used to describe circumstantial and generally baseless accusations about REALITY TELEVISION. When you started, after Chip and Kim got behind on the Amazing Race, to start claiming they were all racists...you were simply blaming their losing on racism. It's not a fucking insurance policy, it's a serious offense. Don't throw it around at everyone you don't like.

On the episode...the other eight girls served two purposes. I don't think it was the actions of Stacie that convinced Trump. It was more that Maria and Elizabeth, who had spent the entire board room blaming the other for the loss, suddenly were on the same page. All of a sudden, these two people who had been at each other's throats, agree completely.

The actions of the first week, essentially, were that everyone was eating lunch/dinner, and Stacie suddenly attempted to get everyone's attention and use the magic 8-Ball. When not everyone was paying attention, she started loudly asking "Why is everyone ignoring me?" and then began to start trying to give everyone a big pep talk, claiming they should just go and claim their prize because they already won.

I think the term "nervous" would be the best way to look at it. Not scared, although we didn't see the whole story. But it was a different person. She hasn't really exhibited such behavior otherwise, but it wasn't exactly making any of them more comfortable, and I can't say it was normal. In my view, the entire group seperated itself from her because they felt uncomfortable with her actions on that day. If that was keeping the group from uniting completely, then it was a better choice.
 
What's been annoying about the recent firings is that they have nothing whatsoever to do with the tasks.

Ivana was a horrible project manager last week, she should have been fired. Instead Trump went for the drama and fired Bradford. Mara or Elizabeth(?) should have got fired this week, yet again Trump went for the drama. Why are they even bothering with the tasks if they have no relevance in the boardroom? Just draw straws instead.

In every interview I read/hear of Trump lately he continually brags about the Apprentice show and its ratings. I get the impression that season 2 is more about making the boardroom very dramatic rather than finding the best contestant to run one of his organizations.

I also find it odd, but you do have to keep in mind that winning a task wins your team immunity, and two show's worth of immunity for the team leader.

Although Trump should be picking off the people who made the big mistakes, I guess he knows he doesn't intend to hire any of the "problem people" and is just picking them off in a dramatic order and fashion? I dunno. Ultimately he has complete control over who he wants to win.

I just saw episode 3 and I feel sick to my stomach after watching that. Yes Stacie deserves to get fired but a group of people calling someone crazy on tv is just sickening... Still, I would do that bitch Jennifer in the ass.

The TV guide info on Comcast said that "flamethrowers" were involeved. This was my first episode and I missed what the guys team did. Could someone clarify the flamethowers.

LOL. This episode is AWESOME. I have a feeling the girl I want out tonight (Stacy) will be gone! WHOOOOOOHOOO!O!O!OO!!

LOL oh shit you have to be shitting me. I don't believe Jen had to nerve to bitch about spreading discord in the group after the Stacy J crap that went down.

DAMN IT. IF Jen C get fired instead of Stacy then I'll be fucking pissed.

And I don't think it was anti-semitism. Maybe a bit of prejudice against 'rich' women but it's just as worse as that guy (can't remember name) from Mosaic, talking about the Gay guys giving them a 'bad' review.

And this is coming from a Jew, too.

Meh... I don't think she hated the women not because they're jewish but because they're rich and jaded like just she said.

And that Jap comment COULD be racist 2 years ago yes, but considering the word Jap is as prevalent in the the geek-centric boards like say Suki... I don't think it's that big of a deal anymore.

Yeah like the word nigger COULD be racist 2 years ago, but considering the word nigger is prevalent in rap music and white supremists boards like say KKK.com...I don't think it's that big of a deal anymore.

Now walk down the street and call a black guy a nigger and test how much water that line of thinking holds.

It's not the same.

Black people cares... Japanese people don't.

edit: And if they actually do care, Japanese people in the boards should correct this because really, I think the only ones that care are overly-PC people.

LOL yeah people who don't like being called derogatory names are overly PC. Like the guy who I called an asshole, overly PC, or the dude whose mother I said was a ho-bag, overly PC. They didn't have to get offended they should have just walked off, the fucking pussies.

Damn, was hoping for a Stacy firing. Maybe next week.

Also, it looks like it's strictly men vs. women with the transfer of that mean looking chick from Mosaic to Apex.

LOL at the fact that they had to break the rules because the Apex bitches lost so many times in a row :lol

I'm just saying that Jap might not be as deragotory word as some people (in the internet mainly), as it is being potrayed. If it really is... there should be a huge uproar about this... just like say the N word.

And yeah, I just hate Stacy and I want her out. She's not Omarosa type villian but she's the kind you wouldn't really root for. She's just a bitch inside and out.

Stacy's description of Stacie in the boardroom last week is EXACTLY what Stacy is today. She's that "fire" that the leader should always put out and ultimately, what caused them to lose.

This episode is preety good considering it didn't feel "short" like last week's episode. So yes, one more reason not to watch the Saturday encore. I'm gonna watch Lost anyways. :$
 
Was I the only one who didn't really care about the end result of this week's boardroom considering all three women are definitely going to get fired anyway?

All of them women will be fired. The outcome of the next 8-10 shows are meaningless because the women will continue to lose as we all know they will. That one little woman really annoys me too.

/\ You beat me to it.

Honestly, I will be in shock and awe if any of the women end up winning this game.



P.S. I think I've gone from hating Carrolyn's guts to finding her hilarious :eek:

LOL the women are so playing into the sterotype of women being "catty" and not being able to run a business, it's sad. And I have to agree with Caroline even though I'm not a chick, I feel embarassed FOR her.

Why didn't Jennifer pick three and bring in the girl in charge of styling (Sandy)? That chick had the dumbest look on her face the entire time.

The only girl that isn't annoying and repulsive is the other Jennifer. She sounds like the most fair and least catty of the group.

Yeah. She's smart. She keeps her mouth shut and just lets the other skanks fight. She knows exactly how to play this game. They'd show close ups of her doing her own thing, while everyone else is arguing. She's gonna' get far...that is of course, unless she screws up as a leader.
 
Also Bill is awesome. I missed the first 10 minutes, what was the reaction to Stacey being gone and why was Bill there and not the old guy?

It was actually pretty cool. The guys immediately started questioning the girls, asking why they would vote Stacey out when she had nothing to do with their losing. Kevin and Raj pretty much started lecturing them... Kevin mentioned that none of them had the medical position or knowledge to be able to make a statement about her being crazy. The girls kind of just went "but but..."

I can't remember the reason George wasn't there to be honest... I think a vacation? Not sure.

For real. Wes impressed me with the way he handled himself in the boardroom. He explained himself perfectly when it was down to him and the other two. He almost gave it away when he cut in and tried to pile on, though.

Yeah, he did a good job. I feel a little bad for Andy. He's a bit of clutz, but he's very smart. And once again, Jenn C. prevails. Not only is she fine, but she's a damn good leader. The chances of her getting fired anytime soon are slim at this point. She passed the hardest part of the show -- being a PM. I hope she takes it.

I was kind of disappointed that both teams had such shitty ideas. Lets wash dogs. Lets groom dogs in the park. Gimme a break. I was expecting something bigger. I wasn't expecting a job that teens do to get a little extra money. It's the equivalent of washing cars in the gas station parking lot.

I also thought that what the teams came up with for the challenge was super lame and uncreative. Oh well.

What's with everyone picking on Andy? These last two weeks Wes in particular kept saying he has had to babysit Andy... but I haven't seen any evidence of this at all. And then Trump says Andy has been a disaster? What did he do besides lose the cell phone? Maybe a lot of this stuff is being edited out? =/ At least Kevin stuck up for Andy last week.

Anyway as it sits now, Kevin and Andy are my favorites, and Kelly and Jenn are okay. I still like Raj but he hasn't been doing as well these last few episodes.

Andy is sooo the fuckin' man. If he had listened to his moronic teammates, they would've lost. And Elizabeth is a fuckin' tard. WoO!

Elizabeth was a bad leader, but at least she was right with what she wanted in for the project. I think she still goes though.
