I realize my sharing takes up valuable space that could be used for your perfect and unassailably correct opinions, twickster, so I apologize for daring to express an opinion. :rolleyes:
I won’t be the first person to comment on how annoying it is when someone comes into a thread – any thread – for the sole purpose of telling the people who are enjoying a pleasant conversation about some mindless entertainment that they’re all assholes for enjoying said mindless entertainment.
I’m guessing I also won’t be the last, since it seems to be human nature to want to tell people who enjoy things that you don’t that they’re jerks because they lack your elevated perspective.
Amen! Frank couldn’t shut up to save his life, much less his job! I was sure Trump was going to fire him in frustration just because he kept yammering…although they really didn’t give him two seconds to answer, either.
I have to go back and watch the beginning of my tape…I was watching Desperate Housewives…but I was ready to scream by the third time I heard Martin mention “an Old Nigerian Saying” that was exactly like and old American saying…just like the Russians, claiming credit for everything! And his leaning back in the chair, templing his fingers while trying to rile Frank in their roundtable in the darkened tent area…so pretentious! I’m glad he’s gone, though I wish Trump had made it a twofer and canned them both…Frank for being an inarticulate blabbermouth just this close to flopsweat, and Martin for being an ass. And his incredulity at being fired! Has he never watched the show? Does he not remember other contestants who met their fate with protests, and looked like psycho idiots? Not a one of those people convinced Trump to change his mind!
One thing I’m confused by…why do all the people who get to live in the house all have to sleep in the same room? I could swear that the one shot of them sleeping showed all the beds arranged in a circle in one room…that seems just bizarre! Maybe it’ll be explained in the part I haven’t watched yet.
To clarify…my Amen! was in response to carlb’s comment about Frank. I guess writing that post took too long, and a whole 'nother discussion started!
Martin is a pompous ass, but Frank is a blithering idiot. I thought for sure that when Donald told Tim to leave, he was going to fire both of those losers.
I actually have a lot of respect for Ivanka. I saw her in an interview once on a show about kids of parents with that kind of wealth. She came across to me as far and away the best adjusted of the whole bunch. I can see why she didn’t think Martin would fit in. But if that means she thinks Frank would (and it doesn’t necessarily) then I’d hate to work there. He’s like a human bagpipe.
I nearly forgot to mention- when Trump fired Martin, Frank got a giddy look of joy on his face, looked at Martin & back at Trump with a goofy little grin like “yay!!! I win!!! Neener-neener-neener!” I think he even said something like “no- you said it- Martin’s fired!!” I was sure Trump was going to boot both of them.
That windbag’s not long for this world.
Remember how Frank acted all loud and brassy during the tent-pitching task? It’s pretty obvious that he was trying to make a name for himself as a leader during that time.
Not an auspicious way to start, I’d say.
Add me to the list of folks who think that the LA version has a low-rent aspect to it. No secretary, only one nice apartment/mansion in which the hamsters can reside… it’s like when a sitcom switches from film to video. It just looks cheaper.
Frank and Martin got the loser edit early on, so not a surprise to see them in the BR together. Frank is a lot of hot air and not much else. Why are these fools so hesitant to spend 15-20 minutes planning the task instead of jumping into Chaos City?
I’m also tired of Apprentice wannabes working in businesswear. Somehow, some of them managed to change into t-shirts and shorts… what possible advantage does one have wearing a wool suit at a car wash? You think people will take you seriously? Especially the woman who was squatting down in a skirt and heels to clean someone’s rims.
Frank is a brain-dead cretin. Flyers? What the fuck for? Big assed signs, yes. Posters, maybe. But flyers? And then he’s gone - away from the team on a task even someone, say, like Martin could have easily handled, and he comes back with white letter-sized copies in Times font? Car washes are all about getting eye contact of the driver and begging/flirting/shaming them into pulling over. That guy James had it figured out. I hate that the sex role stuff is coming out already, but the West Hollywood = boys with no shirts dancing in the streets was a pretty good marketing approach.
Having said that, it was hardly a landslide. Heidi’s team only won by a few bucks, despite how badly the other team performed. At least Trump acknowledged this.
Martin… or should I say Deval Patrick? Dude was way too smug and got noticed for the wrong reasons. Don’t these tools know that you don’t really want to be noticed early in the game? That means no smart comments, no attempts to kiss Trump’s ass… just be solid and don’t make waves in the first few weeks. Pimp dressing doesn’t help either. Having said that, I was a little disappointed to hear Ivanka say that he wouldn’t fit in the company. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. She’s saying that Frank would? He’s not long for the Apprentice world. Dude was mealy-mouthed and shouted the entire time, and didn’t look close to being as mature as a middle-schooler.
Speaking of cheap – does anyone else think that the only reason for the scene of DT kissing wife and baby was so he could pay them each $50k or so for their ‘roles’?
That whole opening had me like this: :rolleyes:
I wouldn’t put it past him. More likely he’s trying to show how much of a family man he is, and rub it in fat, unattractive Rosie’s face.
That Frank guy is a total sycophant. What kills me is that the producers will keep him for a long time just to have someone to hate (I won’t say villain). Say hello to the new Johnatan.
Oh my god, that was cringeworthy. I kept thinking “I can see why Heidi’s smiling - no matter who of those two blithering idiots Trump keeps, it’ll be to the detriment of the other team”. Actually, I think Frank would be worse to have on your team, because Martin will only hang around doing nothing, while Frank will actively mess things up while YELLING IN THE LOUDEST VOICE POSSIBLE. Ouch.
On the other hand, I enjoyed Tim shutting the f*** up and hightailing it out of the boardroom the nanosecond Trump said “Get out”. You could almost see the little cartoon clouds of dust popping up behind him. That’s the way to do it, Tim, my boy!
I miss seeing Robin each week. Sigh.
I caught the last ten minutes last night on Bravo. I’m surprised Frank made it through the application process. I might have to start watching, just to see the fireworks when Trump fires him. He seems unstable.
Did Martin/Marden really not do anything on the task? He defended himself poorly, but I think Frank scared him.

That impressed the hell of my wife and myself, too. I’ve always been amazed by how many peope, presented with a chance to escape unscathed, blow it with a “Can I say just one thing, Mr Trump”.
I hate, hate, HATE Ivanka Trump. She’s as arrogant and annoying as her egotistical father. Enough with the nepotism. Bring back Carolyn.
Amen and amen. He’s one to watch. He reminds me of the temp guy in The Office for some reason.
Heh, that’s what I thought, too. Probably because he’s also called Tim and because he seemed to remain calm in the face of insanity.
I’m guessing, given the low level of interest, there’s no need to start a new thread.
So – when’s the last time anyone other than his wife or doctor saw the Donald’s bare feet?
I’m thinking that the losing PM (Nicole?) got off easy. It’s nice to be a motivator, but controlling your team and killing awful ideas (like a really tight short pink swimsuit for guys!) is a more important leadership skill. DT must have been really convinced the gay guy had NO CHANCE of going on.
Two other things – as I thought, the winning team members are going to start to chafe under the new PM rules. How soon until they deliberately start goofing off?
The other thing…do you understand what is going on next week? Kinetic is going to sit out the whole challenge while, what? The seven members of Arrow get split into two teams? Every man for themselves?
Either way, that means another Arrow goes home, leaving the teams at 9-6 – which means a simple ‘steal a member’ wouldn’t balance it again. So, maybe TWO Arrows go home? Is that what the puffery about next week’s boardroom means?
