The Apprentice

[Pedro]

Can't believe that some of these people are considered to be highly righted job canditates. How hard was some of the stuff they buggered up?

FFS, if you can't even organise a bloody breakfast, when all you have to do is tell someone else what, where, when etc, how are they going to be hen it comes to something beyond the range of someone with an IQ of 50.

God help them getting another job after some of their incompetent displays.

I tend to agree with the part about some of the tasks looking easier, but i just don't think it's that simple. We are seeing it from the lounge room, but i think that if we are to try this in the real life it would be much harder with many more variables to consider. Are you saying that you can do a better job?

Regardless, i can't wait for The Apprentice 2, or even the Aussie version.

I understand that it is edited and we are only shown the bits worth watching. However the mistakes that were highlighted were the result of basic incompetence and I would suggest that in these cases that many average people would do a better job.

Eg: The stuff up with the breakfast - It was suggested that Troy did not confirm the details with the catering staff. He didn't have to cook it. Just had to tell them what, where, when and how many. Surely it couldn't have been that hard.

Amorosa - My god, how hard could it be to arrange to have someone collected from the airport. Again, she didn't have to pick her up herself, just organise it.

These people also had the staff of a 5 star establishment at their disposal, who must do this sort of thing everyday.

Having said all that, I suspect that some of it may have been spanners deliberately thrown into the works to guage how Kwame and Bill would deal with a bit of pressure.

Was a good series and looking forward to the next one.

It was a good series and I think the best candidate won in the end. Apart from Bill, I liked Kwame and Troy, but I think that Bill overall proved to be the best candidate and was quite adaptable in different circumstances. Nick always got good raps but I always felt he was a bit too cocky and sure of himself, Amy was the best of the female candidates.

The next series should be good.

aussie version? oh god... no...

 

[choc_a_holic]

Woah...what a surprise..the winner was Bill! My oh my....Can't wait till next season

 

[red+black]

I just want to reiterate if given the opportunity, I would ram my fist multiple times into Omarosa's fat head.

And for those that didn't know, as it wasn't discussed, Omarosa has been very public in saying that Katrina is a racist and called her a ******. Katrina denies this, and Mark Burnett and the show's producers confirm that they have
trawled through every minute of footage and cannot find said comment. That's why Trump offered Katrina support and commented on how she had had the hardest time of all applicants.

Omarosa is so stupid she thought that "pot calling the kettle black" was a racist slur. Get over it bitch, you give a bad name to black people, women and the human race in general.

 

[kristin5]

Bill was easily the best candidate and deserved to win. Though I did think both the final tasks were pretty easy - not much of a challenge at all.

As for Omorosa - what an absolute cow (a mentally deranged one at that!) The preview for the next series implied that we may see her again - please NO!

I think it was Ereka who was accused of being racist. They had Donald Trump, Ereka, Omarosa and Heidi on Oprah yesterday (I'm not working at the moment so I have the pleasure of watching daytime TV ). The show was filmed when there were still 4 candidates left in the running. Omarosa made those accusations about Ereka, after Oprah asked Omarosa whether these allegations of racist name calling were true. Oprah and Donald Trump were very shocked and concerned about the accusations, and the crowd was shocked too. It was getting a bit heated for an Oprah show for a while there as sections of the crowd were voicing their disapproval of both Ereka and Omarosa. But, the more Omarosa spoke the more she came across as a lying, vindicative bitch and the more crowd sided with Ereka.

Also, when Oprah questioned Omarosa about her actions during the show. She claimed it was due to creative editing and due to the directors of reality shows consistently portraying African-American women as rude and arrogant (she may have a small case there as creative editing is bound to occur during reality shows though she gave little credence to the fact that she's responsible for her actions).

Felt sorry for Ereka, nasty accusation to be dumped on you in front of millions of people, though she handled herself well and in the end, it's been proved that Omarosa's a lying, vengeful bitch. Who on Earth would hire Omarosa after her actions and proved dishonesty!

 

[TheBloods]

I reckon it should have been Bill v Amy. Some of the comments about Amy seemed harsh. She would have had an easier time as a guy.

I agree. She was clearly the second-best, even if she did seem to mess up on one of the interviews.

Still, it was good Bill won in the end - he was clearly the best of them.

I saw Omarosa on Oprah yesterday - she is a shocker. Kept lying about Erika calling her a ****** and also kept talking over everyone like she is the star of whatever show she is on.

Will be interesting to see if NewlyWeds has the Apprentice episode - love to see what they thought of her!

 

[red+black]

yeah it was Katrina's twin Ereka. looks like she has got a job with Tony Danza.

Yup! I was wondering that...make a thread if u know when it's coming on

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

aussie version? oh god... no...

After "Aussie Survivor", I don't think Burnet would be keen on selling Ch9 the rights...

Found the contrasting styles of the final-2 quite interesting - particularly where their respective teams criticised them both saying that they should he more like the other. I guess some people will never be happy with management.

At the end of the day, Bill selected a better team & they made less stuff-ups. He had more success during the season than Kwame & deserved the win IMO.

BTW, if that is the best 16 apprentices that the USA have to offer, then they should be very worried ... though going by the standards of their President, perhaps not.

 

[tomatoes]

On the Panel tonight, they were saying that the Trump Hotels business has gone bankrupt. Is this linked with Bill's success?

 

[TheBloods]

Trump Hotels will probably seek Ch 11 Bankruptcy protection in September.
Note though, his stake in the company is just 3% of his total empire.

From USA Today earlier this year:

Q: Name a company that was:

• Home to a number of lucrative relationships with affiliated entities.

• Accused of using aggressive accounting.

• Audited by disgraced accounting firm Arthur Andersen — and hasn't made a nickel in a decade.

A: Not Enron. (It made money.)

It's Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts (DJT), the ailing arm of Donald Trump's complicated tangle of businesses that contains the magnate's gambling operations.

And what's Bill been up to?

And will he ever build the tower in Chicago?
