"The Apprentice"
apskip:
Separate from the above recap, I want to review my thoughts on the contestants:
Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth - lucky to have a young and naive player to focus on and get eliminated; she won herself no fans among the other women, who will be sure to vent their displeasure in some appropriate way later in the competition
Carol Alt - very classy in not getting blown away by a torrent of verbiage from Omarosa
Marilu Henner - able to delvier the goods in a way that no other woman did
Nely Galan - clearly an opinion leader who will be listened to and do very well in Celebrity Apprentice even though she has the least celebrity of anyone; has the most business savvy of the women
Jennie Finch - able to get David Wright to step up and make a large contribution(although it couldn't have been more than $5000)
Nadia Comaneci - totally invisible on this challenge; this is OK since Trump will protect her through a certain number of rounds
Stephen Baldwin - he had a well-organized event
Gene Simmons - the star of Team Hydra; he is highly intelligent and business savvy
Tito Ortiz - didn't do much except pose for pictures, but I wouldn't want to meet him on a dark alley late at night; did bring his porn star wife to the tean Hydra location
Lennox Lewis - didn't do much except pose for pictures
Piers Morgan and Vincent Pastore - able to really tweak Omarosa; otherwise they didn't do much
Trace Adkins - Mr. Invisible this week for the men, but I understand he will be playing a big role as we move on
The funniest review of last night's show that I have read basically states that Celeebrity Apprentice casting was deficient except that they did not allow Rob and Amber to be contestants(a very good thing).

I taped the show and watched it this morning. It's okay. It's just not the same. They are playing for charity and it seems like they are having fun! I prefer the non-celebrity people because the drama is much more intense....lots of fights, stress, better boardroom drama and they are trying to get a job with Trump!
I'll give it another week or two to see how it plays out, and if I'm not impressed, I may just stop tuning in as I have plenty of other shows that are about to start and they will be time-consuming.

I just got done watching the show. Omarosa made me want to :pull. She should have gotten the :boot:. She did not want the woman using their celebritiness (don't even know if that's a word) to sell the hot dogs. So no wonder the ladies were calling contacts. I give credit to Mary Lou for calling her contacts and making the most money for their team. Tiff got fired simply because she did not call Mr. Hefner. Plain and simple.
I was impressed with Gene Simons. I thought the guy would be over the top and loud. He was pretty quiet and humble.
Jenna Jameson....I thought she was out of the adult industry?
I really did not see much attention paid to the other ladies other than Omarosa, Mary Lou, Tiff and Carol. Maybe in the coming shows we will see more of the other ladies. They did come up with a creative name.
The men....Pierc is a not bs kinda guy and will fight for the men to stick together even when they don't agree. He is right keep it out of the board room and not in front of the women. The Saprano guy..he is hilarious!!!! Trace Atkins....gotta love that deep voice!!!! I thought the men stood out more than the woman on this show and not just because they raised more money. They were just themselves and not petty like the ladies.
Claws will be coming out more in the boardroom with the the ladies...so Ihope Donald has bandaids.
I am actually looking forward to next week to see what Simons said to The Donald's precious pampered princess.

DONALD TRUMP AND NBC’S ‘THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE’ BEATS THE ORANGE BOWL 11 MILLION VIEWERS WATCH ‘CELEBRITY APPRENTICE’ PREMIERE
Article from: Reality Wanted
The premiere of ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ saw teams divided among gender lines and America watched as former Playboy Playmate Tiffany Fallon was chewed up by Omarosa in the boardroom and ultimately fired by Donald Trump. The show was the #1 program for the night - in the key 18-49 demo - beating out The Orange Bowl on FOX and all other primetime programs. ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ is up 36% in total viewers and improved the time period by 67% versus the same night last year (11.005 million vs… 6.572 million).
Donald Trump said, “I am extremely pleased with the ratings and congratulate the current executives at NBC for not only picking the right time slot, Thursday nights at 9 p.m., but for also allowing the show to have a proper interval before putting it back on. I believe that the ratings for the show will get even higher from here on and that is absolutely terrific. ”
January 10 (9:00 PM ET/PT). In next week’s episode, the celebrities are given a TV production crew and a cast of actors and dogs to create an advertisement promoting Pedigree’s Pet Adoption program. One team struggles with their actors and crew, while the other team alienates the Pedigree executive by not meeting with him in person. Ivanka is insulted by Gene Simmons, and in the boardroom she attacks his lack of respect for women. In the end, the Pedigree executive chooses the best advertisement and a celebrity from the losing team is fired.
Trump’s eyes and ears on the task are his daughter Ivanka and Terry Lundgren (CEO, Federated Dept. Stores).
