I also didn't like the girls campaign. I think thay won because it was more 'edgy' and the client felt that even if they didn't like that specific proposal, the girls would be more likely to come up with something that would be acceptable. Since the guys proposal was so ho-hum, I think the client felt they did not have the thought process that would get them to an acceptable proposal.
But, c'mon girls, can you only get ahead in your career by wearing short, tight clothes and then leaning over tables? I would like to see them represent women in a more professional manner. And even if I lived with my co-workers, I would not wear half-tops Sometimes I think they are acting very inappropriately for what they are trying to accomplish. I am sure that Ms. Blond Hair to the left of Trump did not get there by battering her eyelashes at him and wearing skimpy outfits.

I love Trump, he is a riot. The old guy was totally into ditching Sam, and blondie seemed to agree, and Trump was all, its my decision, I made it. I mean, why even have 2 other people in the room when you are going to ignore them to do what you want anyway??
I also agree that the women using sex appeal to do every challenge is getting old. I work in advertising, and I have never worn a push up bra, lowcut shirt and leaned over a table during a presentation. Maybe thats what my day is missing I do have to say I liked their campaign, it was really edgy and memorable.

Re: Apprentice is on!
the intern in my office just told me he went to highschool with Nick and college with Sam! He said Sam is really annoying -- no shock there!

Re: Apprentice is on!
Love this show -- great concept and the GIRLS ROCK!
I think the guys made a huge mistake by not meeting with the clients, even during the show Trump said that one of his rules was he always negotiates with the boss when he can. So, right there Jason blew it. You always meet with the client to show a) you care and b) to get a feel of what they want....
Sam is pretty annoying but Jason was kind of mean to him by giving him menial projects and shushing him all the time. He even talked down to him many times....that is poor managing IMO. In business, you are always going to run across people you dont like, but you have to deal with them - an effective manager treats each of his employees differently not the same. Anyway, they keep Sam on to stir up the pot too, this is a reality show.
Omorosa -she has to lighten up, she has way too many racial hangups I think, plus she was tired and cranky but cmon that kettle comment was not intended that way I dont think. Ereka is a hothead but I kind of like her. I guess also the same can be applied to the women - I think Omorosa feels left out because her ideas are constantly being discarded....same as Sam so she is on the attack maybe?
Troy is cool and definitely smart (the one with only a HS education) and I also like the cigar guy ---forgot his name but he is cute....

Re: Apprentice is on!
I don't think Omarosa is very smart. She is supoosed to be a politcal consultant from DC, but shae has no clue what a raciasl comment is. She assumes (and prob. has assumed all her life) that people don't like her b/c she is powerful black woman. people don't like hetr b/c she never listens to anyone else when they speak and she is very argumentative.
Sam should be gone, but the producersd will keep him as long as they can b/c he's good for the ratings.

I agree and that girl with the flight hat on bending over the table looked pathetic
That girl looks like she went walking through Hungry Town with a piece of bologna stapled to her face
I can see why Jason got fired but Sam hello wake up!!!!!
Can't stand Omarosa either.

Re: Apprentice is on!
I agree that Jason screwed up (I mean HOW can you consider doing a job when you don't know your boss/client wants? That is just stupidity) and should have been fired but it would be nice to get rid of sam.
Honestly with Sam I don't think he will go anywhere for a while b/c I think Trump gets a kick out of him - I think he thinks of him as entertainment - He will put his 'toy' away when he gets tired of him. He already thinks he is a lose cannon. (No offense but WHO the He!! lays down on the floor to take a nap in the middle of a job?)
As far as 'calling the kettle black' I don't believe that she hasn't heard of that comment I think she is so wired up to argue and be defensive that I think all she heard was the word 'black' and went off.

Re: Apprentice is on!
Sam and Omorosa both annoy me to no end.
Sam acts like such an idiot, its tough to believe he is for real. He's fun to watch but I just want to kick him sometimes.
Omorosa is acting like a real b_tch! The comment she made about Erica making a racial comment to her was silly. That is a common saying true! She is just being negative and complaining all the time. No wonder why none of the girls like her!

I didn't like Jason either. He was so unpolished and unprofessional. There is no way he could be a president for one of Trump's companies.

The women are overdoing it on the promotion of sex. I know its working for them but its sad that this show is showing that women can only succeed in the business world through sex.

If they continue this way, it will just present the woman as a one trick corporation and not very innovative.

wow .. i admired donald trump a bit before this episode .. but now i think he's a complete jacka$$!!! every single person has said that sam is horrible TWICE. every opportunity they had, they said sam is the worst. but the IDIOT trump kept him on. why? for drama of course. the show wouldn't be as entertaining without his drama. i feel so bad for jason (i think that was his name) .. i don't think he deserved to go while sam got to stay. i think i took this too seriously .. cuz i was swearing at trump last nite
While I do agree w/some of your feelings re: keeping Sam around for 'drama' and ratings, I think Trump's main lesson in the task was to always deal directly w/the boss - and Jason screwed up BIG time by not meeting w/the client before moving forward w/the project. Anyone who has worked in client relations knows that you cannot possible know what the client wants unless you speak w/them directly. That is why Jason got canned and Sam did not!
ETA: And, I *totally* agree that Omarosa needs to go! I was STUNNED that she tried to turn the 'pot/kettle' comment into a racial slur! LOSER!
