Anyone watching?
Yes seems an odd task if your costs and profits don't matter but happy customers does. 85$ per Laker girl per hour is half a tour bus load of customers. I could make people very happy too if I threw money at them.

Oh the last winning team have appeared in Bikinis again......its Trump produces Baywatch again.

So basically Apprentice UK ripped off this task for the London tour task in the last series??

Me thinks Trump is peeved he wasn't allowed to fire her.

Winning still doesn't get the winning subteam into the house , one has walked and the garden team seem now at a big disadvantage as they start each task worn out. Not a great idea this twist.

I think Michelle despite a lot more class than Trump (but that's not hard).

All this poor house rich house stuff - presumably just an excuse to see the contestants in their underwear! Couldn't have worked in New York though (they would have died of hypothermia)

Meh these people need to get their act together if they really cannot hack staying in a tent in Los Angeles for a few days or weeks. They DO have toilet and shower facilities, albeit cold showers, but it's L.A., cold is probably a Good Thing.

Mmmm, bowl-shaped junk food

Oh no it's Sean the cringetastic tosser!

Trump: “Go ahead and quit. Doesn’t bother me.”

Rilly? So why spend the last ten minutes trying desperately to talk her out of it? I’m sure a car must have come at some point but it was incredibly childish to have her walking down the hill in the final shot. She was a ****ing terrible PM but at least she had enough dignity to know being exploited in this farce wasn’t anything to do with getting a good job at the end of it, so good for her.

Can’t believe we have to endure the repellant Sean again. What’s up with his face?

Is it wrong to want to punch the smugness out of Heidi?

Why do people put fruit and meat together? Nobodoy wants that. I agree with the Hair on at least that point.

In a way, it was the first time we've seen someone take control away from The Hair (like this term).

It made me ponder on how everyone in the Corporate process has to be a 'yes man' or woman. The mini Trumps are prime examples of this.

Yes dad, no dad, 3 bags full dad. I agree dad.

And they all have the family pursed lips look (doing it as I type). But then again, I can't do i properly as remember, I didn't go to the Wharton Business School.

Hate it when the The Hair fires people 'cos everyone in their team says they should be fired; often, its the pack mentality against individuality, although Melissa's habit of interrupting everyone was infuriating.

The Hair should find out who the ringleader for this playground ganging up/bullying is and fire them (Heidi - flash smile and teeth, Mr Trump)

I'm wondering how Michelle got in there in the first place? She was incapable of making a decision, completely insecure and obsessed with and depenedent on others' opinion of her.

Sean's analysis was good. But he does have that sneer on his face which you just have to keep looking at. What happened to his love affair from his series?

I think as has previously been mentioned it's not so much the sleeping outdoors more the lack of sleep / sleep deprivation, presumably a place like LA there will still be a lot going on 24 hrs. a day and it will be noisy at night, eventually you would get used to it but initially you won't be able to sleep.

Have to agree, why if he wasn't bothered about her quitting did he spend so long trying to talk her out of it, was it just so he could fire her in the boardroom.
As for Sean, couldn't stand him when he won still can't stand him now.

What a load of rubbish Apprentice USA has become. I used to enjoy this show but not haven't seen it for a while I tuned in last night. I knew it was a bad omen when 15 min were wasted before Trump told them the task. Then they spent about 10 min showing the task before back to the boardroom. Idiocy, rubbish. Then I know his marvellous right hand man has retired, plus the woman who was also excellent. Had to switch it off.

Why does every show, series get ruined they longer they go on.
I don't know why the BBC even bother when they have it on at 12.20.

Agree with a lot of this - enjoy your posts on here.

Megalomaniac Donald 'The Ego' Trump makes Sugar look like a seasoned philanthropist! Loved Michelle robbing Trump of his power to fire her. Whilst her timing diminishes her credilbility, I agree wholeheartedly with her reasons for quitting. Serious dent to the over-inflated ego.

For all Sugar's faults, he recognises when there's a witchhunt against someone and will tackle the ringleaders head-on. No way should Melissa have been fired...and especially not for the pathetic justification he gave. Still, it gives a good insight into what you may be letting yourself in for should you get the job: the potential for bare-faced favouritism, nepotism and bullying is very real and apparent from the outset.

Chicken with fruit? Really? Yuck!!!! (That was never going to fly!)

I'm only watching so I can see smug Heidi get her comeuppance. i.e get fired. What am I talking about, she'll probably get the job.

And yet we have FMs still maintaining the US version is superior to the UK one. It isn't and furthermore never has been.:yawn:

No, this is an old series, first aired a few years ago.

Trump: “Go ahead and quit. Doesn’t bother me.”

Rilly? So why spend the last ten minutes trying desperately to talk her out of it? I’m sure a car must have come at some point but it was incredibly childish to have her walking down the hill in the final shot. She was a ****ing terrible PM but at least she had enough dignity to know being exploited in this farce wasn’t anything to do with getting a good job at the end of it, so good for her.
I thought he was convincing her to stay for her own good. It didnt really bother him one way or the other. His reasoning was, she would look back in it one day, and would wish she didnt quit. He does have a point.

And yet we have FMs still maintaining the US version is superior to the UK one. It isn't and furthermore never has been.:yawn:
It is - its far better. This was a poor series. On the whole the US version is better than the UK version.

This is an awful series and the reappearance of the git Sean did not help. It's certainly not worth waiting up for, but at most spending a few minutes flicking through the episodes on the i-player.

People put cranberry sauce on turkey, chicken isn't that different.

I can't believe they fired Marisa, the chicken suit was a good idea and they shot her down.

LOL, not from what I've seen of them.

I suppose the flashiness might appeal to the impressionable.

I suppose having a go at other posters, for airing an opinion would make some posters feel superior.

I have to admit I have been fast forwarding parts especially the bits where they are slagging one another off in the garden or moaning yet again. I am still debating whether to delete it from my planner as I am not liking this very much this year unfortunately.

If she could have controlled herself in the boardroom, she wouldnt have got fired. She got herself fired.

Even The Hair and his family can't be bothered to stick around this episode. It would be sweet if Sean got stung by a swarm of bees.

^^^Yep - it's that tedious, they can't be @rsed to stick around and we can't be @rsed to post either, it seems.

Wonder what the US ratings were. Not that I care....

It should be renamed "love Island" at the moment, 2nd year on the trot where 2 of them have got it on. They are supposed to be fighting each other to get a job with "The Hair", it seems even the contestants aren't that bothered any more, although the girl who lost in the 2nd episode was well p***** off.

The second of tonight's show should be rather amusing as it involves promoting something during half-time at a MLS football game. Cue lots of misunderstandings from the Americans about football

Watching the sweepstakes task - it seems the producers seem to want to show anything in the show apart from the task and boardroom which are the things that really matter.
