Indeed he has sacked people before for not fighting or protecting friends........

And he's ended up with two people for the last 3 weeks - and neither of them is much use for anything.

Another duff decision from Trump. Not sure I will bother with the final. I dislike both remaining creeps and it will probably be a dull task anyway.

Episode 7: Michael
Episode 9: Andrea

A nasty team from beginning to end.

It was totally contrived to sack them both, whether they slewed or smooched one another, they were always going to go together. Completely ridiculous, the other week this so called business genius Donald Trump was slaughtering a guy for being too kind and not greedy enough for suggesting it would be okay to give the other team a cheerleader.

The father and daughter make me cringe; its only natural to talk positive and big your father up as some down to earth guy, he's your father, but that was just unbelievably insincere.

In the UK version, the potential apprentices were often given a moment to justify why they should be his apprentice, in this one its all about who's to blame. Mr pathetic Trump numerously questioned each of them (especially the black girl) who was to blame, yet he crucifies them for the attacking their loyal friendship? Pathetic Americanised nonsense.

Yep that smile he has screams "CREEPY" to me.
Another note.... Some of those outfits... Never laughed so much in my life!
I can just see him in a pair of beige chino's with a salmon shirt and cashmere sweater draped over the shoulders - not forgetting, of course, the trademark brown leather deck shoes. Such a tw@

I don't think that Tammy was that great. She did focus too much on herself ('I want this to be about me!').

But she was also right that the other two were 'high school'.

In fact, they were downright juvenile and unprofessional.

Roxanne seemed to want the friendship with Ally more than the job.

I know that the editing can be everthing, but we did not see Roxanne say that the reception staff wanted pants, did we? Yet she said that she did say so.

Ally showed her true colours in how she dealt with the designer. And not very nice ones.

If he made the mistakes, who did the briefing? And then she gets the guys name wrong.

Someone send her Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. I think its chapter 1 that emphasisies how important people's names are to them.

Creepy Sean, always thinking about making Apprentice babies with Tammy.

Most people above don't like Ivanka. I think she is great. Much more precise than Carolyn who almost beats Ally in the face contortion stakes and seems to take every opportunity to wear an 80's Melanie Griffiths' 'Working Girl' short skirt to show off her legs (I'm developing Sean tendencies here, sorry, y'all).

Donald Jr, please take that cotton wool out of your cheeks. Who do you think you are, Marlon Brando in the Godfather?
(I'll make him anoffer he can't refuse.)

And sorry, but Bill wins my Barney Rubble Award for stating a blinding case of the obvious, Fred. Derrrrr. But the girls all fancy him, so he has his place ('Bill's soooo hot').

To me the whole two programmes were about what great taste Trump has! Cover everything in gold - watches, perfume bottles, tower blocks etc and flog them ! and he thinks it look cool, sorry 'good design'

His double chinned son says nothing, and his daughter is just told she is wrong by her father constantly.

Out of all the "eyes and ears" Bill Rancic seems the most astute.

Of course the UK version is better produced, though I would say that Trump has more empathy with the apprentices than 'Sir' Alan does.

Seemed that in both episodes tonight the hint of the winner of each programme was in both of Trump's sound bight sequences.

As for the contestants, the black woman seemed very passive towards the other... "Are we still friends" x 6

Whilst on the other side the US contestant was very passive to 'Metrosexual' UK guy. - He needs to change his Hugh Grant hair, so 90s....

DT made the right decision getting rid of both girls, but for the wrong reasons. The reason I'd have got rid of both of them is that basically they both admitted the task was pretty much 50/50. They both made joint decisions on the fashion and designs and you couldn't really choose between them as to who was the most responsible.

Firing them because they turned on each other - When thats what the show sets them up to do - was pretty lame.

Oh and as far as which series of the Apprentice I prefer, I actually have to say I like the US series more, mainly because Donald Trump is a FAR more presentable personality that bigoted old class warrior Lord Sir Alan Sugar.

And lets face it, DT has earned his fortune through hard work and being a great buisness man. Sugar has earned his money by selling cr*p to the world for decades - I helped AS amass his fortune by buying an Amstrad VCR in the 80's and what a stinking pile of sh*t it was too.

That's not 100 % correct. Trump inherited an enourmous amount of money from his father. He didn't start from scratch like Sugar did.

i did have to laugh at the outfits the girls came up with what were they thinking!?!the puffball sleeves,the colour a tea colour with green and the mans outfit a jacket with a zip up and short sleeves was utterly dire!
as for sean has anyone else noticed he seems to be doing alot of pieces to camera compared to the others?!these last two episodes have to be the best so far they were hilarious!
as for allie and roxanne it was obvious that when it came to the crunch and they lost their task that they would have to critic each other!
i do like ivanka she certainly put allie in her place regarding the whole eye rolling episode and isnt afraid to give her opinion as for don jnr he doesnt seem so at ease.
bill and his bling bling super white teeth could give sean a run for his money!
it also seems that trump is flogging his products at any given moment water,perfume (eau de trump?!) watches shirts suits ties hes the rich mans delboy!

Those outfits shown by Synergy were horrendous. But far more horrendous was listening to those girls shrieking at each other in the Boardroom. Dignity girls!! I think the right thing happened. At least I dont have to listen to Ally's annoying squeak.

Donald Jr is an unctious little creep isn't he? As are both finalists.

brilliant
Although I can't see him in a reliant robin any time soon.

I have to say it seemed to me he had decided beforehand he wasn't going to hire a woman he was going to hire one of the 2 guys, although in my opinion which ever he hires they will be the worst apprentice ever and I can't see either of them lasting long.
Going off the actual task though one of the women definitely needed to be fired, their designs were not practical.

So glad those two nasty harridans got fired! Allie in particular has shown herself to be an appalling human being.

Mind you the guys aren't much cop either. Must be the worst final two in any Apprentice series, US or UK.

I was very disappointed in the girls, they were dreadful, particularly Allie.
I quite like Sean and Lee, especially Lee.
It's all panto, though, isn't it? Not an especially good series, no candidate head and shoulders above the others like Randall was in previous series and the girl who broke her ankle who came second. They were class.

i loved Allie, but the last couple of episodes weren't great for her

EDIT: saying that i still thought she was probably the 'best' person there...
