so help me, I like The Apprentice on NBC!!

[terryg11]

I hate 99.9% of all the "reality based tv" shows out there. They suck and are in my opinion stupid. So why do I enjoy the apprentice?
Now mind you, I've only seen the last four or five episodes so maybe I misssed the dumb stuff. What you have are a group of people offered a legitimate chance to work with and learn from Donald Trump. The shows I've seen gave them realistic challenges (with the exception of the short time frames) and ways to apply what they think are their business world strengths. It gets personal at times and a little snippy but thats to be expected considering the prize.

This week they are down to eight people I think and from wht I've seen they are all strong candidates although my odds on favorite to win is the guy from Idaho.

anyone else have an opinion on this?

1. Omarosa is HOT!

But I'm afraid her days are numbered. Kwame may be the first African-American to win one of these 'reality' shows.

(calling these a 'reality show' is that a new oxy-moron?)

2. yeah, she's cool

but she's also got the wrong attitude to win, methinks.

That redhead, Nick? He could have gotten the axe yesterday with his near breakdown in the boardroom and he did sound horrible on the sales pitches they showed (dont forget he IS a salesman by trade).

3. Country boy is getting by on his charm...

...but would Trump hire someone without a college education?

[terryg11]

6. see, what I saw him do was great instincts

yes, charm did play a part in it but the few shows I've seen he's been a positive player in all the projects. He's actually contributed and gotten results.
yeah, I bet Trump would hire someone without a college education if they proved they could do it. Did Trump ever finish college?

4. Well, Vecepia won Survivor and she was black.

But she really didn't deserve the win. She and the other person in the final two pretty much got their by flying under the radar while most people agreed that the third place person deserved the win.

5. Idaho dude's my choice too

he's smart but hides it under an "Aw-shucks I'm just a country boy" demeanor, which seems to be charming the NYC-ers he's having to deal with during the challenges.

WTF does Trump do with his hair, BTW. Is it a swirlie?

[terryg11]

7. swirlie?

maybe, but I suppose when your Mr. Trump yu can have any hairdo you want.
