"The Apprentice," Season Five

For the rotation platform under the car I guess

Lost in the Mine
Summer, Pepi, Stacy, Theresa

Panning for Gold - Hoping to get a break
Brent - Eat young man, eat. For next week promises to have a great deal of drama orbiting you like the Hubble.
Charmaine - Your comedian was horrible and you paid her for it. You’re on a slippery slope and your southern twang better get vicious to make up your ground.

Got your pick axe - You’re at least working
Tammy - Uh huh, still here
Dan - Shalom…
Leslie - Great smile but you didn’t stick out in my mind for this episode.
Sean - You unfortunately jumped on the Brent railroad and so that loses you some merit points. You’re just one of the sheep.
Tarek - You’re making up ground after your rocky start. Sure your golf course sucked but that wasn’t your fault. You tried to get an astroturf field and so you did the best with what you had.
Michael - “Nature Refined” was a winning idea. You’re making up ground.
Bryce - You lost your temper with Lenny, though you got the generator for your team your fiery temper is going to get you in trouble.

Found some gold dust - It’s a start
Allie - Uh sure, I saw you this episode.
Lee - In absentia you do not move
Roxanne - You tried to be a friend as Andrea handled the loss of Pepe and what’shernose.
Andrea - You led the other team to victory and finally distanced yourself from the pack.

Cashing in the Nugget - On the gravy train
Lenny - A multi survivor of the board room you keep getting pulled in but walking out, and the biggest reason is that you are quite adept at shutting up. You do your job and do it well, Trump recognizes this. Sure you hiccuped on the generator, we don’t know all of that story - but you’re still flying high. You’re dragged through the mud but you come out clean.

Ah. Okay. Not critical, assuming the dealers can walk around the platform.

Sometimes I wish the show was longer. Would we get bored, seeing more brainstorming and preparation? More board room? More suite time?

How about a bit of the losers, in their hotel?

My opinion of Lenny dropped this week… First for dropping the ball on the generator, then for refusing to admit that this was a mistake on his part. Dissing the observant Jews was also a low blow, especially since George Ross himself choose to observe Rosh Hashanah as well.

Yeah, but he keeps coming out clean. So far he seems to be riding the money train.

ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

WORST. IDEA. EVER.

I fucking HATE digging through this thread every week. Somebody PLEASE have the balls to start a new one next week.

With you 100%.

Inconsequential.

With you 100%

With you 100%

With you 100%, but the thing to me was the constantly cutting off… Taraq? (sp) while he was supposed to be the creative guy.

You’re in charge of creativity. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

You were supposed to be in charge of creativity.

Meh. Lenny went WAY up IMO this week. The generator thing was petty… they had like what? Five hours to go?

And I’d work on Christmas if I was on The Apprentice.

To elaborate, he’s totally:

NO BS, you bullshitters!

JUST FUCKING WORK, you lazy fuckers!

DON’T BE STUPID, you dummys!

GET TO THE POINT, you roundabout shit-talkers!

FORMULATE A PLAN, you walking around in circle thumb-up-your-assers!

In other words, I think The Donald loves him already, and is probably drooling over his Russian contacts.
Plus, I don’t know if anybody here heard this quote, but, he was a “big SHOT” in Russia.

Me either. I personally didn’t think she was dressed to accomodate her figure for most of the show, but then again, I’m a hetero female so what do I know.

I kept yelling at him to bring that up when they were in the Board room. Guess he didn’t hear me.

I effin’ HATE Sean.

Me neither.

I found myself thinking: “Hmmm I wonder if Trump will consider fake titties a weakness… and what about Carolyn?”

Again, assuming he didn’t just get a favorable TV edit, the whole “We don’t have time for a theme” thing, was pure shittiness too.

Sean was the guy went off on Lenny freaking out and screaming about “I saved your ass!!!”?

If so, I agree. Thank you.

I think that’s a really important consideration. Donald knows that nobody wins every time (including himself). What separates people is that some know how to conduct a proper post-mortem analysis and make corrections. In a sense, that’s what the board room’s all about. We lost. Now, why? And which is the right fat to trim? I think it means a lot to him when you demonstrate that you will do the right thing for the company when things go wrong.

Yeah. I kept yelling at the screen. When the hell are you gonna let Donald know that you tried to buy turf but wasn’t allowed?

Excellent analysis.

My ovaries and I will be happy to step up to the plate – but what’s the big deal? You can just go to “view first unread” and it will take you to the current day’s discussion. Or you can just hit the last page and cursor up.

If only it were that easy.

I read the dope maybe twice a week, and even then I usually just hit GQ and leave.

The first unread doesn’t work for that reason, and scrolling backwards spoils everything.
What’s the upside again?

Could somebody give me an example of Lenny being funny.

SHUT UP!

I NON’T LISTEN TO YOU!

The original impetus was self-consciousness about the truly ridiculous proportion of the threads I start being the Apprentice threads. (Oh, sure, I could let someone else start one. Not.) Plus, our multi-page threads on each episode are a thing of the past. As I said in the OP, one thread for the season worked fine for Dancing with the Stars – if it’s not working here, fine.

I’ll start a new thread next Monday.

Thank you.

If you’re female I’ll send you kisses through the internet, otherwise, a simple high five and a beer.

Life’s rough, sometimes you have to dig through long threads. And then you die.

Maybe I’m alone in this, but I kind of felt bad for Brent last night. It seemed like everyone from his teammates to Trump took jabs at him, both in front of him and behind his back, for being fat. In their talking head interviews, they were hoping the shark would eat him so they’d be rid of him. “That shark is bigger than Brent!”

I’m OK if you want to dis him for being an obnoxious ass, but comments about his weight are akin to saying “you’re ugly, so we don’t like you”. I just thought it was over the line.
