Here's a review of the golf course Bill knocked back for the Chicago Trump Tower :p
Review (http://www.golfobserver.com/features/geoff/geoff_trumptrails.html)
new series... watching it now... didnt hear much about this one...
Just flicking through the foxtel on tv guide and noticed this was on next.
Caught me by surprise, I'm assuming it's not a repeat?
What channel on Foxtel is showing this super show?
It's on Channel 9 @ 10:30 Tuesday nights. It's a new season, they are up to episode 2.

Every series they have had a "very odd" male contestant. Can't remember the name of the guy in series 1, but in the last episode he offered Trump $1M to get a job with him. Series 2 was Raj, Series 3 was Danny (who wanted to turn everything into a jingle), and then this series it appears to be "talkaholic" Markus.
I was also going to add that every series has a bitch in the female contestants, but most of them seem to be like this anyway.
Appretice is a good show but it makes me really dislike corporate type w@nkers.

Who got fired last night, i fell asleep during the last ad break
Jennifer W (I think that's her name), the one who organised the catering and so forth.
The woman with the broken ankle just survived because Trump thought she had great potential.

I thought that was crap, they lost because the girls knew nothing about the tachnology and couldnt sell it properly, not because the food was crap. The idiot with the broken ankle should have gone because she showed no flexibility, granted she had loyalty but when the whole team wants someone gone and trump thinks she isnt good enough she should have brought her.

That was Sam.
Everyone seems to have an Apprentice show. Trump, Richard Branson, Tommy Hilfinger....

It was sort of like the previous week, except Trump did the opposite and decided to give the 'loyal' project manager a second chance. These guys really should listen to all the hints Trump gives them in the boardroom.
Oh and Cleavy, I think you can throw Martha Stewart in there too now.

We're actually only 1-2 epidsodes behind the US. That's pretty great considering what normally happens.

Randall better win this week otherwise Trump will think he's lost it. Watch out for Alla. Hurry up and get rid of Adam, he's just being carried.
By the way, for anyone who watched series 3, don't you think that Tana was pretty much a shoe-in but blew it all on the last task? And when will channel 9 bring it back to 9:30???

Nah tana was just a hick from the country who was at selling avon and using her bedazzler to make t-shirts. It was painfully obvious she was out of her league.
Still think Randall will win this year, they had a women win last time and it would be a nice touch if a black guy one it this year.

Yeah agree, I thought Kendra was clearly the outstanding applicant last season.
Randall from Alla this season.

I really dont think doanal trump would hire a token black guy? why would he? He doesnt need to do it for money etc so not much point.
I think Randall will win it anyway because he has been great, or the other blonde chick, not alla but the other one.

Sorry I have to disagree.
Kendra was always the last one to 'step up to the plate' and be project manager. I'll admit that when she did she always performed well, however she should've had more confidence in her own ability.
Tana on the other hand got on with everyone (apart from the last task when she blew it bigtime) and was always ready to project manager when everyone else didn't want to.
And why didn't Tana mention the fact that Kendra had trouble in dealing with Craig (the black guy who got carried into the final 3), surely she'll have to deal with people like him when working for Trump. I reckon Kendra won it when Trump criticised for crying at the end of the last task and then she said something to the effect of: "I've seen 300 pound football players cry after winning the Super Bowl".
Still, Bill has been the best of the 3 hired so far, and I hope Randall wins. Alla to come 2nd.

I wouldve been surprised if he kicked off Felicia as she was the only one in the team with the right idea of getting PEOPLE to sell, not silly posters.

Um, remember the car brochure where Kendra did ALL the work while Tana and Craig went to sleep?
And then tried to claim credit for something they never contributed anything worthwhile to.
Justice and sanity prevailed.

Definitly the right decision, he was carried throughout the whole series really and he was a little w@nker
Haven't really watched this series but i think it's a great show, hopefully watch it when it's next on. What are some of the tasks they have done?
Lets see: Promoting Shania Twains perfume last ep. People had to ring a no. to get a free sample.
Designing and constructing a float to promote a sci-fi movie. (one of the teams presenters kepts mis-pronouncing the movie title in the presentation.. hysterical)
Writing and producing a song for an alternative rock station.
Desiging a sports retail stand, focusing on a particular sport. (they did golf and baseball). The team that did baseball actually decreased sales for that day. Again hysterical!!
Doing educational talks for a group of adults.
The ol' car brochure/ photo shoot, which the girls won (again)...
Cant think of anymore.
This year had been pretty good. The Donald is particularly ********ed off for some reason. One time he fired 4 people at once, another 2!! :D
Don't mess with the Don. He'll eat you alive. What he's done with firing groups of people has been justified.
A group of 4
and 2 groups of 2
Classic!

Very entertaining tv but this bunch are the dumbest lot ever IMO.
Thats been part of the fun since they screw up so often.
For the perfume challenge, they should've just hired 3 or 4 people, given them each a mobile phone and got them to go through the phone book and call the perfume number repeatedly, each time with a different person's name and address, legal and it would've used up the $10,000 they had with them getting about 3000 or more calls. They only got 900 odd calls with more than 60 workers. I think it will come down to Allah and Randall who are smart and can stick up for themselves in the board room.
Thank god that nerd Adam got booted out.

apart from the blatant product bias from 'The Donald' ..... this company makes eight squillion dollars a minute, they have a fantastic product etc .......
I think Trump has been bloody great this series; speakig his mind, calling people out, etc. As for kickin out multiples I think they all deserved it; the group of four was a cluster .... and I agree with choc_a_holic that Alla was a nasty piece of work. Very happy to see her go.
I think Rebecca has done remarkably well considering she has also had the added handicap of being on crutches.
Randall looks like the real deal - he always appears sharp, is well spoken and has nalied every challenge.
Either would be a deserving winner.

Truer words have not been said although it is sad for them, they should have given about 5, 10mins max and we sure as hell dont need another hour at 10.30 when there is a quality show thats already treated like ******** when they show crap like Joey at 6.30 every night, so ive cracked it and downloaded it instead
just finished... randall the winner, he picked it up when the rain came and pulled the event together well... but how much did he burn rebecca? i had a feeling from the start of the board rooms that trump would offer them both to be the apprentice... trump asks randall if he would hire rebecca, and says no, there should only be one apprentice... trump goes okay and ends the show...

and good on him i reckon,
their slowly starting to bend the rules of these reality series like having more then one voted off at a time and so on, and having 2 people win is not really a reality when going for the one position in the real world.

I think Randall was clearly the outstanding candidate. His experience, education, collegue level of respect and record in the game were far superior to Rebeccas. It was a bit of no-brainer to hire him. They both did lousy jobs of the final task, Rebecca not raising a cent would have had her whole team fired I think if it wasn't the final.
Man, did he burn her though! What a w@nker! I actually agree with him that Rebecca would do a crap job, but I wouldn't say it on TV like he did. Not giving her the job because it will steal his limelight is very petty and lame IMO. Ruthless - probably will go well working for Trump though....

Very true, and watching last night I thought Randall, in the circumstances that happened, did the better event. The fact that he had to scramble and still did a good job putting it on, and he obviously has the experience and so on which will help him in the new job.

Absolute rubbish to suggest Randal did not deserve the win.
Randal was the clear performer all series and certainly deserved to win. If anything I think he won against the odds. I still think back to series 1 when I thought Kwame was the best person for the job and unfortunately lost due to sabotage.
