Sorry for starting the thread a day early – but I wanted to remind folks that it starts a half hour early tomorrow (for those of you fellow Luddites who actually have to _program a VCR_ :eek: if you want to record the show). Also, it has just come to my attention that there is now an _Apprentice_ [board game](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00067AE3K/realitynewson-20/102-4183601-3256114). Who’s gonna cough up the $30 to test-play this for us? As far as the actual show is concerned – the promos are claiming that someone “sasses” the Donald, who’s shown saying “You’re a wise guy.” Oh. My. Goodness. Any guesses? Although Chris has those moments where he emerges from his parallel universe to assert some fundamental truth for the edification of us all, he doesn’t strike me as one to get “sassy” with Mr. Trump. And the Donald, gentleman that he is, wouldn’t call a woman a “wise guy,” I don’t think. Craig and Bren wouldn’t get uppity with him … so, Alex? ---

What? No speculation as to who has the temerity to act talk back to the Donald in the Boardroom? ---

I’d put my money on Bren or Chris. Cause of the tobaccky (not the kind that’s wacky, but still…). ---

I think Angie’ll flip out. Thank you for telling me it’s on at 8:30. I would have missed it! ---

Tonight, Stephanie gets the ax. Too much time has been spent on her negatives. Don’t hold your breath for the Raj Ratings. When the NCAA tournament and Trump collide, basketball wins every time. ---

Thanks for the reminder. I already missed Survivor because I wasn’t watching the boards carefully enough. :smack: ---

Arrgh! I’ll be out tonight, and I forgot to set the VCR. **Twickster** , would you please tape the show for me? ---

No prob – esp. since I’ll be taping anyway. (I found out this morning that the last night [this movie](http://www.ritzfilmbill.com/editorial/synopses/brideandprejudice.shtml) is playing is tonight, and I really, really want to see it.) I may not have a chance to watch the tape till Sunday, but you’re welcome to borrow it after that – email me, we can work something out. ---

Chris was also my gut response, **friend Twick,** but upon reflection, you’re right, mebbe not. Y’know, I could kinda see Erin’s mouth getting her in trouble. He’s already had to advise her to stop talking, so if a sarcastic remark happened to get sucked into the jet stream that is her speech pattern. . . nah, she’s smarter than that. Isn’t she? I believe I’ll go with **Rysler** and cast my vote for Angie. (Not necessarily for the boot, but for the sass.) ---

Bump. It looks like Erin vs Craig tonight. Erin’s getting way too much screen time. ☹ ---

(Okay, I’m here. Like it was a serious possibility that I wouldn’t be.) Erin – shut the f\*\*k up. Please. ---

It’s a box vs. a dessert cart. My money’s on the box. ---

Craig’s toy box idea turned out to be brilliant. Who’d a thunk it? ---

But they didn’t go with his name and call it the Trunk. Some really good analysis about Craig. Had trouble selling the idea, but it worked. ---

Most people in zero gravity puke. I’m calling it now. I bet at least three of them “meet Ralph.” ---

Between the off-the-shoulder sweater and the fact that she doesn’t know what “poignant” means – Erin, shut the f==k up. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-apprentice-3-24-05-8-30-eastern-time/295884.md?page=2)
