Tonight they’re racing against time! (Um, isn’t there always a deadline?)
The task is to design high-tech fashions, and apparently one team effs up mightily.
“MR TRUMP, I AM NOT AN ORALLY FIXATED IDIOT” doesn’t appear in the promos, but I’m sure some variation of it will occur.
See y’all back here at 9.
It seems to me that Angie screws up her team’s schedule. If she’s the PM, I think she’s going to get the DT axe.
Which is a worse offence for an Apprentice – giving up on a task, or being late to the presentation to Trump (or the lackey of the week)?
Trump picks on the small stuff, and I believe he’s got it in his mind to fire Angie. After she barely survived Eringate, and he quipped that he didn’t like that she was sent to the suite last week, she’ll get creamed if her team loses. Alex is superior (I guess), and Trump likes Chris.
If the other team loses, I’d say Craig’s toast.
from TV Guide:
I hope it happens on Chris’ team. I love seeing him go insane.
Oh dear god – there’s an Apprentice cruise, featuring Raj, Brian, Stacie J., Maria – where’s Omarosa, fercryinoutloud?
Not to be pedantic, but the Thread title sez 4/15. . . shouldn’t it be 4/7?
Yeah – wasn’t quite awake this morning – I emailed the mods, but guess this isn’t a pressing matter.
Considering that when The Apprentice airs tonight, I will be in the beginning stages of 4 days on a mountain without electricity, cable, etc, I thought now would be the time to unveil my newest invention. The Trumpbobulation Time Warper! Yes, with this tool, I am able to see into the future. Unfortunately, I am unable to view stock prices, winning sports teams, or anything of actual value. However, I can view the results of reality TV shows before they happen which gives me a leg up when it comes to pop culture references, spoiler websites, and the ability to pre-determine just how I might mock someone. With that said, let’s all hop into spinning teacup and take a trip forward into the NBC that exists approximately 11 hours from now.

Hello boys and girls, the Raj Ratings are back to provide you with your weekly dose of yummy, cheese filled goodness. My, what an episode. These people get crazier and crazier. I know a fair amount of us work in office environments and others deal with “the best and the brightest” types, but do you know anyone that acts like half of these people. Apparently television not only adds 10 pounds of weight, it also ups ones jerkass factor by 200%. I’ll be honest, The Apprentice is losing me. Maybe I’m being too egalitarian, utopion, or optimistic, but I like a reality show that gives me rootable heroes that give me hope for humanity. Tom from Survivor fits this description. Maybe one person on Apprentice 3 (and maybe 2 on Apprentice 2) fit this description. Donald, much like Yoda, the 2 party political system, and transfat laden food you are dying a slow death. On to the rankings, such as they are.
Nursery School - Full of crying, childish people that could use either a potty break or a nap. These folks deserve to be watched by the crooked daycares profiled on “60 Minutes”.
Todd, Brian, Danny, Kristen, Michael, Tara, Audrey, John, Erin, Stephanie - How quickly would a company employing these 10 people fail?
Angie (SS) (Elem. School) - Well, that’s over. I can’t really say it was a good run. You certainly outlasted a lot of people. Really, you’re sort of Dennis Kucinich. Sure, a lot of people that initially seemed more capable fell by the wayside while you soldiered on, but at no point did you ever have a chance of being more than a forgettable footnote in an ultimately unsuccessful campaign. You did bring the crazy eyes and overly emotive responses to a crisis. But seriously, in the boardroom? Chill out. You wrote your own ticket in there.
Elementary School - Some growth, but in the end it’s a place rife with playground fights, name calling, and a trip to the Principal’s office.
Chris (SS) (Elem. School) - Way to keep track of the money. That’s never doomed anyone before. Of course, you had no hope before, during, or after this task anyway. You are essentially a death row prisoner just playing out the string of appeals at this point. You have become example one of the suckitude of this show. The casting people knew you were a nutjob that would fly off the handle. They would then know you had no chance to win, but still cast you. Whee, forced drama! How fun for all of us to watch. Give me good candidates that clash due to their awesomeness as opposed to the angriest of all the hobbits.
Middle School - A group that might be growing up but still prone to wild swings based on playground fights, name calling, and puberty.
High School - Not quite a child, not quite an adult. Frankly, I still don’t know what to make of these folks.
Bren (BS) (High School) - It’s always nice to have the exemption. Still, you are shown as too goofy and you don’t really have skills that seem to transfer well to Trump life. You can’t win, but at least I don’t hate you.
Craig (SS) (High School) - You clash with most people, but in an odd way. Minimal outbursts, I just think you get a train of thought and ride it out whether it ends up crashing or coasting in.
Alex (BS) (High School) - I think this clearly shows the wheels coming off. You are fine, but just not good enough. I think the taint of Chris will hang on you much like the odor from the valet clung to Jerry Seinfeld’s car. Plus, for all of this supposed brilliance and ability, we haven’t seen a ton of results. Ladies and gentlemen, the New York Mets of the show.
College - Older and wiser, things are looking up. Maybe not ready to enter the real world yet, but getting close.
Kendra (BS) (College) - You are up here, less because I think you are awesome, but more because the competition is offing itself for you. This is really the Apprentice won through a series of fortunate happenstance and Phyrric victories.
Tana (SS) (Grad School) - Yup, my favorite and I still can’t put my finger on why. Enjoy your future second place finish because there is really no way Trump can hire you.
Grad School - These people have a clue, have some seasoning, and have a chance to make an impact.
With these people? Hardly.
PhD - Ready for tweed jackets, big paydays, and a future of coddling Trump
Again, there is no person that remotely fits this bill.
The Rancic/Perdew corollary update. Tana and Kendra are the final 2. It has to be. The others are too pockmarked at this point. How sad.
[bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzt]
And we are back. Now that you have this knowledge, use it wisely when watching tonight. Make side bets with other watchers. And think of me as I try to figure out a way to ascend the flat face of a mountain without dying.
I’ve changed the title, as requested. Hey, four hour turn-around ain’t bad. I ain’t gonna spend my life sittin’ at the keyboard, y’know.
Thanks, Dex – as I said in my email, sorry to be such a space cadet!
When I was at the mall Tuesday, I noticed American Eagle Outfitters is advertising that it is featured in this week’s Apprentice. I’m kind of suprised they’re allowed to advertise that in advance of the air date.
Cross-promotion, baby. All publicity is good, but free publicity is the absolute best kind.
Omarosa is scheduled to appear in the next Surreal Life.
Oh, I just hope Pepa bitch slaps Omorosa!
He lost the freakin’ credit card?
:eek:
Hee!
Try to not hire pot heads if you are working on a deadline, dude…
I think having Tana on your team to do presentations is an unfair advantage. 
And always trust the models to remember to bring the clothes. When I think of responsible, models are the first thing that come to mind.
Tana f-in’ rocks.
Can y’all feel the Tana love?
You think every one of the Magna people worries that they’re going to be the one sacrificed to the cult of loserhood next week?
