I like Penn and Dee, but Adam would have been great instead of…well, one of the people I’ve never heard of(that Brande girl or something). Oh, and Omarosa did mention Pier’s family when they played. She attacked him and went on about how his wife won’t let him see his kids and so forth. True or not, it was way past the line of a Celeb. reality show kind of behavior. ---

> [@Sateryn76](#): > > Brandi really should have been fired. In the business world, you have money people, but they are rarely in charge. There is no way a project manager should have gotten away with being so totally out of touch with what was going on. I don’t know why Trump was so hot to fire Bret, but he really turned his back on a project manager that did such an obviously poor job. Not to mention that she kept on about how she had a billionaire donor in the wings with a huge check, which of course never materialized. ---

Marilu Henner is holding up very well. Trace Adkins did much better in the school yard pick except for Gary. What was he thinking? ---

> [@Sateryn76](#): > > And, one moment had me yelling at the TV in joy - when Ivanka called that black model out on saying that Piers was whining “like a woman”. I rarely get offended by supposed sexism, but that was over the top, and I was so glad Ivanka took her to task. I respect her more and more everytime I see the show. Good on her! And yet Ivanka was totally fine with her daddy spewing sexist garbage like an overflowing fountain. I was cringing at some of the things he was saying. ---

Wow, that was one \*terrible \*idea by Dee. It was so obvious which team was going to win as soon as they showed their constructed sets. I was really rooting for him too, since the charity he was playing for (Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS) is one that I do a lot of work for as well (plus I \*really \*wanted Omarosa to lose) but, damn that wasn’t even close. ---

I think Dee was right that the severed head mirror trick probably wouldn’t work at the Universal Studios theme park. It’s a bit too disturbing for their target audience. Also, Dee’s point about branding was valid. I don’t think the park wants their name or any of their characters associated with a picture like that. I thought for sure Dee would come up with a great idea because he knew the theme park so well. It seems so strange seeing such strong players get eliminated early. But it’s All Stars. ---

As soon as I heard that idea I thought they should have somehow integrated it into a Harry Potter themed exhibit. Make it look like one of the floating heads in the fireplace, or like someone was wearing an invisibility cloak over their body. ---

Make it look like one of the floating heads in the fireplace, or like someone was wearing an invisibility cloak over their body. Or nearly headless Nick. Or instead of just a floating head, they could have the person’s head on top of Harry or Hermione or one of those Despicable Meeples. Lots of better options than a cardboard cutout printed on shiny paper in the sun of Marilu Henner. I have to say that Penn did an AMAZING job biting his tongue when Trump was equating Baldwin’s Christianity with honesty. ---

My favorite challenges are the ones where the teams create commercials or do short skits. Tonight was one of the better challenges that I’ve seen. Trace did a great job. I can’t recall who commented that even Stephen couldn’t screw up the team’s play. I briefly thought that Stephen would screw it up with his pathetic attempts at direction. I can see why Alec is the one that is the most successful in tv & films. Stephen doesn’t have a clue how to direct actors. I laughed all the way through their skit. It was really good. Omarosa ruined another challenge. No surprise there. She pretty much wrecked any attempts for the team to kick creative ideas around and create something interesting. That wasn’t by accident either. She knows exactly who goes home when a team fails and she made damn sure they wouldn’t win. What a bizarre ending. I’d swear that decision\* absolutely had to be\* scripted. How could any human being be so clueless and stupid? Says a lot about that person. It isn’t possible to make a more asinine decision. It was funny watching Trump stall and kill time. Because he knew instantly who was going home. No other choice was even possible. ---

You know, I think I’ve watched \*every \*episode of all 13 seasons of **The Apprentice** & **Celebrity Apprentice** , but after tonight I am not going to watch again until Trump finally gets rid of his pet. Sure, he can blather all he wants about how he would have fired Omarosa tonight, but he wouldn’t have. He thinks she bring in ratings. Does she though? Because her being on the show this long is just making me \*not \*want to watch it. I am just going to check this thread after each episode and when she finally goes, I’ll tune back in. ---

I agree that Trump not have fired Omarosa. If it was a real management dispute, then she would have been out of there a long time ago. But for TV, she’s considered a draw for whatever reason. I would have brought Omarosa. And probably no one else. It may have been the only way to demonstrate to Trump that LaToya had the balls to confront such an obvious bully, and since she was the project manager and there were no other big mistakes, her odds of being fired were already pretty high. Loved that everyone in the board room basically said that the crying was fake and stupid.
