Trump often looks like he's having brain-trump.

Trump's two hench-people are not a patch on Nick and Margaret.

Felt for Rebecca, she covered that woman's ass then she just carried on as before. A classic example of how loyalty to your friends should be earned by them.

Wow, what a bunch we've got this year.

Call for Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis. Get them kitted out and unleashed on this show and its participants.

Aaaaaggghhhhhhh.....call the Cliche Busters and let them fire their goo all over these wannabee-corporate-clone- cliche- infested ghastly yuppie monsters.

I love them all really (25 years ago I was one of them) and can't wait for next Monday night!!!

PS For god's sake get someone to fix Trump an appointment with Bobby Charlton to discuss how to go bald gracefully without the combover.

So this week we saw the demise of Jennifer W and Toral - No suprise

That leaves 8 men and 5 women! The women always seem to do well in the early days on our Apprentice...

I think Rebecca (woman with broken ankle) will go very very far. I am so tempted to look at wiki but I wont.

I have a good feeling about Marshawn (black woman) and Alla (blonde woman with harsh makeup ).

The only guy i can see making the final few is Randall (black guy whos grandmother died). The others all look the same to me!

ps

The Dairy Queen character matched our Breakfast Cereal character task we had last year (and genius though a transvestite mascot might be, it hardly beats Pantsman). The teaching old folks was different, and actually the sort of more imaginative task I wish the UK would do.


Toral did earn some friendship/loyalty when she was the one who went with Rebecca to the hospital when she broke her foot. None of the others seemed to care. I saw it more as a classic example of how someone who is good as a friend, isn't necessarily good at their job.

Then again, teaching TVs to old folk was hardy Toral's profession, so I wouldn't come down on her too hard for not being good at it. Had it been Sugar, I'd have brought her into the boardroom anyway, and trusted him to make the right choice (especially with Carolyn gunning for Jennifer). Given it was Trump, and he does see things as a popularity contest, and given Toral didn't deserve to be fired, I'd have kept her out too. I think.

I felt a bit sorry for Toral in the next episode. I agree with her about leading: the person who leads should be whoever is best for the job and most likely to produce a win, not whoever has most to prove. However, it was bad politics. Refusing to go into the mascot costume was less excusable. Someone had to do it and it might as well be her: her dignity wasn't worth more than anyone else's. Playing the religion card was low; she was obviously fighting to stay in the game by that stage.

It's a shame that the politics were so significant. It seemed to matter more than talent. I was especially disappointed in Kristi, who I'd rather liked in early episodes. It seemed she was the only to vote against Marshawn winning immunity in task 2, not because of her consistency and honesty and openness, but because she's a bit spiteful and vindictive.

Somebody mentioned that it was yes.Why so few?

The women are all horrendous apart from Rebecca.

I agree that there are too many boring tasks. The problem is the endless amount of product placements, meaning way too many tasks have to center around marketing.

The tasks in the UK version are much more varied, and also have a lot more to do with business than most of the crap tasks in the US.

The tasks seem pretty similar to me and generally i prefer the US version though this may partly be because i saw it first.

One thing i prefer is that they don't tend to switch the teams about so much meaning more tension builds up within them. Will be interesting to see if the blondes turn on each when they have got rid of the outsiders.

He tries to make life simple for himself by only going to places called Trump. From the Trump ice cream parlor to the helicopter with his name on it so he knows which one to get in.

Caroline is pretty sharp . George is very much a US version of Nick - sounds more like a Godfather reject. Watch them while you can because at some point in one seriies it all goes to pot after he replaces them .........if I recall, with someone called Trump

Staying back and watching others volunteer and die while there are still enough poor people to ensure failure is a good strategy. Why on earth though would Toral announce it as being her strategy and how did she miss part 2 which is don't do anything that gets you noticed for anything negative. So much brain, such little control.

I was thinking that, are all his businesses called trump ........ there was the trump golf club wasn't there at the start also?

I'm surprised that no one questioned this. Surely when they were handing out tasks, it was the project managers job to make sure that the people demonstrating the different items could actually use them? So was Toral really to blame for not being able to carry out the demonstration or should the blame have been put on the PM for poor deligation?

Trump Towers, Trump golf course, Trump Hotel....the taxis are probably from Trump taxis too........

All the sackings have been just so far. Whether or not Toral was the reason for the failure, she was abysmal and quite clearly wanted the team to fail for daring to ask her to don a costume.

I don't doubt she was/is bright academically, but she ain't smart at all.

And what is her religion/culture, btw?

Silly woman!

I'm prettysure it's because she pulled that culture/religion card out of the bag that he sacked her. Especially because she lied to him. She was a misery but most of the rest of them are a total pain.

I was very uncomfortable when they all started to bully her to wear that costume. If she'd backed down then she would have become a victim. They really started to get very nasty and 'gangish'; not nice viewing.

So it's on again tonight
I don't know who goes but...

Haha fantastic.

I actually think there are four potentially very good women in the apprentice.

Marshawn (black woman), Rebecca (hot one with broken ankle ), and then Felisha (the blonde woman who looks a bit like Carolyn Tump's female helper) and Alla.

That leaves Jennifer and Kristi - the two good looking blondes, who i think will probs both go tonight.

Still think the only guy with a shot of winning is Randal.

What i've noticed about the difference between the apprentice usa/uk is that there are a lot better looking women in the US version

Jennifer is a moron. Big hair, small brain.

Talking to myself here but.......WOW!


Hilarious - Nothing to say in the cab!

wow four fired?! Trump definitely trumped "Sralan"

Awkward!

I'm wondering how long it took the others to figure out that none of them were actually coming back and they were all fired.

Looks like another dramatic reshuffle to rebalance the teams again next week.
