"The Apprentice"
apskip:
I want to add a postscript to my recap, as some more items have come to my memory:
0. In reviewing the tape, Trump definitely said fight between two men in the Preview and I am almost certain he is referring to the Finale.
1. At the beginning of the show, Piers was pretty obnoxious in gloating over the departure of Omarosa. He even gave a mocking toast to her when all 5 were sent to the Boardroom to meet with Trump about the next task. He had better watch out, because that kind of behavior does not play well with Trump, who has a long memory.
2. Why did Trump call them all back immediately? Of course it could just be editing tricks, but I don't think so. We have valuable celebrities who have been around for theoretically 12 weeks (actually 24 days as they do shows in about 2 days each) and keeping them any longer than necessary has a large opportunity cost for them. It is better to finish up and release them ASAP.
3. To that end it appears that the Final 2 are named practically at the beginning of the next show and then they get to select from an abbreviated list of eliminated contestants starting with Carol and Lennox and Stephen, who will still be around. The preview showed Marilu and Stephen definitely in that role and of course the losers who don't make the Final 2 can't be shown yet.
4. Most of the next show I expect to be devoted to planning and executing a huge charity event. The Back Street Boys and Sarah Ferguson will be part of that event.
5. There was a figurative cloud shown hanging over Piers just like the Sword of Damocles. I believe that just might be the appearance of Omarosa. If he is forced to take her as a support person, that would be interesting to watch. Donald Trump might just maneuver that to give Piers one final challenge. Trace probably wouldn't want Omarosa either, so if Trace got first pick then Piers would be forced to either take her operate one team member short.
marigold:
Thanks apskip I had no idea as I haven't kept up that so I am surprised that Donald will eliminate 2 celeb's.
Oh Piers you gotta love him he is cocky isn't he but can be focused and do great work.
He certainly brought some great laughs to this season as well as impressed me
for taking The Apprentice seriously as much as he could.
It is interesting how the final 2 shows will play out
and I must say this celebrity edition has continued to keep me eagerly waiting for every episode.
marigold:
:lol: You know the site of Omarosa will either push Piers to do his best and win this or kill his drive and cause him to lose.
If Piers is forced to take Omarosa as his support person his best chance of winning is fire her.
He would be better off taking on the challenge by himself instead of losing focus and wasting it on her.
It all depends just how much he can't take the site of her.
apskip:
The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that the only way Trump can reasonably even the edge that Piers has earned through his years of celebrity contacts is by Trace getting first pick of the other celebrities. I assume Trace will take Marilu because of her contacts. I have no idea if Gene Simmons will be one of the invitees but if so I think Trace will steer clear of him even though he does have great contacts because Gene is not a team player; he only can lead a team to victory and not be a supporting player on someone else's team. Usually you get 3 eliminees to choose from. I predict it will go something like this:
#1 Trace pciks Marilu Piers picks Carol
#2 Trace picks Lennox Piers picks Stephen
#3 Trace picks ?Tito? Piers is forced to pick Omarosa
Let's see how close I come to the real scenario next Thursday night.
marigold:
Piers will be lucky if he gets Carol on his team.
Steven and Omarosa will side track him because they require so much energy to keep them forcused
and to have Piers best interest I don’t know if they will pull through on that one.
I think Piers can do it. He has to be swift make a decision use 3 or 4 resources and
execute it. Pure determination to succeed will work for him.
