I still watch the Apprentice every week, but I was disappointed to find out how fake it is after watching a VH1 special on reality shows.
After I watched that special I found out reality TV is just a collection of staged events with raw human reactions mixed in (and even that's debatable sometimes).
Some people already mentioned in this thread how the walk to the cab is all pre-taped. But also when they carry the suitcases down to the boardroom, all the suitcases are empty! In the first season, the boardroom was on the same floor as the living quarters. Going in the elevator is all for show as it doesn't go anywhere. It's all just staged theatrics. It makes me think if they're deceptive with those things, they could be with other things as well that involve the competitions
I'll still watch the show, but I just look at it different now.

Holy shit that was the greatest domination I have ever seen on Reality TV 
LOL yeah it was total domination. Not even close...
And I agreed with Donald's choice to fire
I've said it before but I'll say it again, I'm really hating

Chris, he bitched and complained about the group dynamics last week and he got what was coming to him. It sorta seems like they (meaning the show producers) did that to watch him fall big time.

Ivana and LOL'd when everyone was dissing her in the boardroom. I liked Carolyn's comment about seeing her every week in the boardoom. :lol

Uhh...why did they hate on Jenn? She has YET to do anything underhanded.

I don't understand how Chris could just give up so easily. Oh boo-hoo, it wasn't fair and it was a hard task. When you are faced with something like that you buckle up your damn bootstraps and rise to meet the challenge. That is what Trump is looking for.
And she flat-out lied about it. That or she is just really oblivious.
Didn't she mess up something to do with keeping track of their budget a few episodes ago, but refused to take the blame?

Maria messed up the budget in the Crest task, when they went waaaay overbudget because she didn't get a solid deal in writing.

I really don't like this show anymore, lord knows why I keep watching it...
-Those fake phone calls Trump keeps taking are annoying as hell.
-All the firings, even when justified, seem to have a gimmicky angle.
-None of the cast is likeable, save for Andy.

Absolutely agree about noone except Andy being likeable out of the crew that is left. Sandy and Wes are ok too though.
Kelly is competant, but seems like a massive egomaniacal ass. Jen is cold and smart, but hasn't really done that much overall and she totally took the credit for her team's work this week. Kevin seems like he has potential, but doesn't really stand out most of the time. Maria blinks so much when confronted by her own incompetance. Ivana does ok when not leading, but is a terrible leader and comes across as a bitch.
For the record though, when she made that comment about Jen saying Stacie J did a terrible job a few weeks ago, she was trying to show that Jen was a twoface that says nice things to a person's face, then talks smack behind their back. She was not going after Stacie J. But she comes across as such a snarky bitch that her point was lost.
I loved Wes saying he wished he had his own cab! :lol

The girl won a yelling contest, big whoop. Though she is right and I thought Andy deserved to be fired to begin with, I just didn't like how Trump got rid of him (again). Trump never fails to piss me off every show. If he doesn't fire the wrong people, he fires the right people for the wrong reasons. My goodness, "THE SHOW IS FUCKING BROKEN". But I can't stop watching it *sigh*
Seriously. What did Trump want him to do? Scream over Sandy and Jenn? Andy was trying to handle it maturely while the two girls were being immature. What happened had nothing to do with debating. Trump said he wouldnt want someone in his company who would get "beat up like that" but how many times in real business are people having a little baby screaming argument? Bah
they should make possible contestants take iq tests. It gets old seeing so many foolish people reach even the top 8. the design they came up with for that pepsi bottle??? WHAT THE SMOKING HECK WAS THAT. It was like aimed at 4 year olds almost! still great show though. just some really questionable contestants.

I still think this was a bad task all around. I mean why am I going to pay $5 for a candy bar when I could walk into a store and get it fro like $1, or even less. I think Ivana fucked herself for droppin trough, but she was getting old with the whole I am better than Jen thing. Oh well, I would like to see Kelly or Kevin in the finals. I mean if this interview is like last season, those 2 girls dont stand a chance.
Its getting interesting though.
The sad thing is, he has to send home 2 next week. and I have a feeling that it wont be the 2 girls. Maybe one of them.
My prediction for the final 2:
Kevin & Sandy

Has Jen even been a project manager yet?
And is it just me, or does Kevin always seem to have dry lips? Someone get him some chapstick...

Awesome, nail-biting episode.
Early on, I really felt Kevin was out of hand. He's been a very vocal and aggressive player this time around. What they did was not factor in team Apex's yield (They should have always done a defensive strategy, and "overestimate" the other team, THAT's what you do in competition). Low prices were a STUPID solution. So were selling at different prices in the same area. They did not ask for promotional equipment (Van, banner, signs) and according to my estimate, they DID NOT sell out of their yield. Apex (the two girls) sold out of their yield except 4 unaccounted for bars, which I assume they ate themselves.
Ivana was a bad leader, and Kelly and Kevin were horrible underlings. Ivana had a BOLD plan of selling the bars 20 a pop by dropping trou. I am willing to bet that if she sold more than ONE bar by doing so that it would have actually been seen as a positive. If she sold 25 or 26 bars by doing so, they would have beaten Apex!
She was an ineffective team leader and salesperson. They deserved to do bad. Their yields was superior by over 100! How could they give up that lead?
