Can we talk Apprentice for a sec?

Can we talk Apprentice for a sec?

A couple of observations...

Is it just me or is Trump getting a little predictable? Now granted, Michael put himself at the top of the doo-doo list back when he had exemption and did a terrible job, so I knew he done for the next time he entered the boardroom. But I've noticed something that goes on in the boardroom when someone is going to get fired.

It's like Trump has made up his mind long before the boardroom even began. He'll prod the contestant to defend himself and if he's NOT going to fire that, he more or less lets him answer. But... if he's going to fire that person, he doesn't let them get an word in edge wise and just keeps badgering them mid-sentence. And the music builds... and then 'YOU'RE FIRED!'

When the other two were arguing, he just let them go at each other. But as soon as Michael opened his mouth, he was all over him.

And... I think Michael may have made a good point on his exit last night (not that I like him). He said that he was in a group made up of mostly lawyers (of the 5 left in Magna Corp, 3 are attorneys!) who are taught and specialize in twisting words so of course they'll be great in the boardroom. But that doesn't mean they were good in the tasks. That's no excuse for HIM but it may make a huge difference later on...

Also... proof last night that Trump watches the tapes of the show before the boardroom. He told Michael that he was nothing like him... something that was not brought up in the boardroom! This makes me think that Trump really does have his mind made up (at least most of the time) well before boardroom time...

I haven't really been watching this season, but I did see the oen where Michael had the exemption.

However, last season I said the same thing to DH about Trump watcign the show. I think it was the episode with the girl who flashed the crowd to sell m & m's. I was trying to tell if he was jsut breifed or if he watches tapes.
How can he really judge them if he doesn't see what they are doing?

This season is definitly not the same as the others and DH has kind of given up on it, but I always think in the beginning you barely know who is who b/c there are so many people, but when there are less, its soo much easier to see who is really doing what.

I know what you mean about Trump, I think he knows who he is going to fire, unless its really close, before he brings the final 3 back in the room.

Aside from watching the tapes, I would think that he talks to George and (normally) Carolyn before they go into the boardroom.

But who knows.

I still love it!

Well ...yes i have seen a bit of a difference but lately i think the ones to be fired are kinda obvious...and if he would have fired anyone else people would think that he is keeping someone there for 'ratings'

In all honesty...even though Michael was right about the lawyer thing...it really had nothing to do with him being an azz and performing like one....
He was just STUPID and needed to go...
Michael was trying to slip underneath the radar and try to put the spot light on the PM, when he started saying something at the end...
HE should have shut the hell up because the PM wanted Stephanie out and was goign to give VALID points why she should...Michael F*ucked that up COMPLETELY by interrupting and at that point...I agree 100% with Donald.

And he may go into it knowing who to fire but when they are in the boardroom...imo...the target usually has made an azz of him/herself all on their own to be fired

i have two points . . .

1. I know the boardroom really goes on for WAY longer than what we see, it's highly edited, so Michael could've made the comment about being like Trump IN the boardroom. Who knows?

2. As for the lawyers, it's crazy. Ok, I'm a lawyer so nothing against them, but I mean, they really do twist things around. Personally, I think Erin is one of the dumbest people (and most annoying) on the show . . . and yet Trump compliments her for her ridiculous remarks.... Is he blinded by her fake boobs?
Personally, I think the entire Magna team is worthless.

I can't wait for a Net Worth person to win it all.

It is a shame that they picked these people in Magna to represented college educated people.

Yes this season is certainly not up to par with the others. Maybe it will be more interesting when they get rid of more of the rif raff.
