Stacie J. Lands on Her Feet. Mediapost Nothing much new here, but the item is of note because they couldn't manage to spell the woman's name right consistently throughout. Eejits. Sixth item down.

Great, now I've got this image of Carolyn shaking her head vigorously right after saying, "No, no, definitely not," adding to the whole rannygazoo(oops...save words like that for Raj discussion.)

Many thanks once again, goobaletta for the links! The pictures for the upcoming epi tonight were great! I was kinda scanning back thru the other pictures and noticed a couple of things:

1. Wow! Did Stacey not look like a little kid on "Take your little sis to work day" in that pic with the ladies sitting around a table?

2. (Maybe this is her way to say "I'm an Adult!") I just noticed in one of the still pics that Stacey was wearing a VERY low cut top during the Crest "Buzz" Campaign....how "professional" but maybe the wrong profession, Stacey!

3. In the "handing out toothpaste from the truck" pic, Stacie certainly shows off her toned arms! Way to go, Stacie!

4. I just realized from the still pics that Jennifer M reminds me of the fun & goofy Lauren (Leslie Grossman) on "What I Like About You".

5. Did anyone else get a "chill" from the bitchface on Pamela in that pic of her alone!?! Brrrrr!

You know, it is important to read the thread, but it's also important not to get territorial about being the first to post things, okay? There's no official Media Link Source, and there's definitely no need to get snippy with people if they repeat something you already posted.

Sorry Miss Alli. Offending comment removed at once.

Tackhead, you beat me to it; I DVRed this and just watched it this afternoon. My howls of glee were probably heard all the way across the city at the Trump Towers. That? Was awesome.

Wow. This was quick!

And so, how do you think Stacie feels?

Excuses, excuses, excuses. The word for today kids: Delusional

This chick just doesn't get it. Carolyn, scoot over, I'm exhausted by this lot too.

Yeah, don't worry, Jen. I think we think about you in exactly the right way.

From Bradford's article:

Heh...neither is "grammarty", Brad.
Go Miss Alli!

TRUMP'S FIRED 'APPRENTICE' BACK TO REALITY. Miami Herald. Free registration. "Fort Lauderdale attorney Bradford Cohen, the gutsy ex-Apprentice who risked his neck and lost on the reality TV show, said he's adjusting to life after The Donald." Good piece. And better yet? It quotes Miss Alli. Yay!

Yikes! That would be enough to send me screaming from the room.

Why yes, I am up at almost 2am catching up on The Apprentice forum....and I do have to get up in 5 hours for work. Why do you ask? Sigh, it's a sickness.

MAJOR POSSIBLE SPOILER! Do not click if you don't want to know. Rush & Molloy, NY Daily News. Third item down.

See ya, Jen! The Edmonton Sun. Snarky goodness.

'Apprentice' star stresses diversity. Daily Orange PHOTO. About Kwame's speech up at Syracuse.

Dammit, that's what I get for drinking Diet Coke at 5AM. Mental note: buy new keyboard and new mouse.

Furthermore, it's not EDITING's fault just because you didn't MEAN it that way. God. I hate that.

Frankly, I believe her that she didn't mean that to sound like it did, and I feel for her that she's being labeled anti-Semitic, which I don't believe she is. However, that's the fault of her own clunky use of language, and it has dick to do with editing. Idiot.

Whaaa, Miss Alli, you mean the editors didn't dub in "old Jews" like fifty times? Heh.
I can't wait to see what she has to say on the Today show this morning. I hope Katie interviews her and gets all smackdown.

They've apparently forgotten how the last task worked last season.

By the way, that Miami Herald article is very much worth reading, not because I'm in it, but just because it is. I really enjoyed talking to Nikki Waller (and she has presumably forgiven me for getting her name wrong when I called, for which I haaate myself), and it's a good, snarky-but-not-smug article. And also? My quote involves "big-shot" as an adjective and "big shot" as a noun, and they are hyphenated and not hyphenated appropriately. Which is the kind of thing about which I care deeply.

Regarding Doonsbury, didn't Uncle Duke serve on Donald Trump's Yacht at one point?

What I wouldn't give to see Uncle Duke as one of the Viceroys!

I'm really missing out. I didn't know that image-builder was a legitimate profession these days. DT should hand them out as consolation prizes.

Not an article, per say, but Amy from Apprentice 1 was on the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning show this morning. Just a few excerpts from memory.

Amy's theory on why she was fired was that she won too often. She didn't have a chance to interact with Trump.

She agreed with the opinion of many TWoPers (maybe all of them) that the women on season 2 were acting very catty.

She also said that Carolyn is intimidated by Pamela.

She's currently on a book signing tour to promote her new book about women in the workplace.

Also the Showbiz Top 5 on the Kidd Kraddick show, which you can read on their homepage at http://www.kiddlive.com/, but wasn't updated at the time of this posting, had an entry about the Apprentice. Apparently, according to rumors, Trump may have regretted the decision about firing Stacie J., and Stacie J. might be unfired later in the season. Rumors, all, and one of them did mention that if this is true Stacie is a hell of an actress in her recent interviews.

Edited to clear up confusion. Unfortunately no word on a time machine, iMissEthan.

ha ha ha ha!!! Now *that's* funny!

Geez, Amy just doesn't get any less delusional about Carolyn, does she?

'The Apprentice 2' Recap: 09/29/04 This one is posted at most, if not all, websites for the local NBC affiliates. No clue as to origin.

I love this quote from the Food Fight article:

Isn't the filming complete except for the final live awarding of the winner from the final two? How is this even possible? Does Donald Trump have a time machine - that would be really cool!

He does. It's gold-plated and it's yooger on the inside than it is on the outside (just like Dr. Who's) :-P

Check it out. Stacie J. says that TD's speech to her about "loose cannons" never happened and was edited in later. I've heard the same about last season's speeches. Also, that she's starting to get flack and may lose modeling contracts. I smell litigation.

Q100 morning show in Atlanta

Technically not an article, but it's online. Requires RealPlayer. Scroll down to her picture.

Heh. From the MSNBC link.

That Entertainment Weekly article is pretty hilarious. She calls the women's team "Faster Pussycat" and makes some good points about the sheer incompetence of the Apex team. I especially liked this

That MSNBC article was fun, too. To wit:



Clearly, snarking about Apex is becoming a favorite national pastime.

Sam's recap. We gotta get him over here. He's such a snarky playa-hater like us. And he even nudges The Donald a few times! When the guy who would love to kiss your ass the most starts taking shots at you, then something's fucked up.

Sammy brings the snark. Love it! Oh, and here's Nick's recap. He seems to hate the Apexiennes as much as we do.

Thanks for posting the links to Sam's & Nick's recaps, y'all! Omarosa's isn't up yet. No surprise there.

Nonni posted the link to Zap2it's review in the Stacy Rotten thread. It really does seem the reviewers are about as disgusted as many of us are with Apex.

Motley Fool's review of Episode 4.

From TV Guide Online's Watercooler:

More on Trump and His Female Troubles. Another entry in Fast Company's blog. Different writer than before.

The German version of the popular U.S. television “reality“ show, “The Apprentice,“ called “Hire or Fire,“ was cancelled after only one airing. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Second item in column.

That line amuses me far, far more than it rightfully should.

Flames of discord? Hmmmm...interesting word choice by that Zap2It writer.


Oh Yeah...is Danza only interviewing the NYC native candidates? JenC was on his show today. Christ...the thought of JenC and Ereka clacking away gives me hives.

Any word on how Danza's show is doing? I know he's getting strong ratings, but he's getting horrible guests. He's been seen out harrassing NYC celebrities and begging them to do his show. He's just seems to be running out of guests. And Ereka just sits in her little audience seat and makes her attempt at banter with Tony Danza but says absolutely nothing of interest. She's just too green for that spot. All of her announcements are very "big."

"NEXT..ON..TONY...DANZA!!!!!" Too cheerleader-y.

You know, I didn't like Jenn, but I think her employer is chickenshit. I don't think she's anti-Semitic, I just think she's a giant clod. I couldn't stand her, but I think they suck. If they've had no other reasons besides the fleeting stuff that was shown on TV to believe that she holds those kinds of beliefs, then I think that blows that they fired her.

And, as stated, I couldn't stand her.

And in order to avoid having two full-on discussions of this at the same time, please take this to Jennifer C.'s thread. Thanks.

Heh, indeed! Awesome.

From the ClickOnDetroit article:



There are no words.

To her credit, she wasn't cited as starring in said film.

Just to point out one thing, that others have said consistently, these people have to realize they are being watched by not only the Trump organization but other potential employers and interested parties. They have to behave accordingly.

Has anyone heard that Stacie J has filed a lawsuit? I thought there may have been a short blurb on the radio this morning--

Whoops! Didn't see your post, Miss Alli.

You'll find this original post in Jen C. thread.

Thanks.

Jennifer C. gets served by Trump Richmond Times-Dispatch. Review.

Trump's pearls of wisdom run gamut of topics from marriage to revenge. Buffalo News. Very similar to the one he did at NYU.

boilergal:


No reality show is complete without a contestent linked to porn.
But I have to say, I didn't think it would be Elizabeth, formerly employed by the squeaky-clean P&G.

I agree, Miss Alli, and I hope like hell that the firing reflects a "last straw" situation. Who knows what other crap she may have pulled there? I can only imagine an employee file crammed with co-workers' complaints. Heh.

Ah yes, I saw this bit on our local NBC station yesterday. They ran promos for it incessently during the show: "Detroit's own Apprentice! Her friends defend her against nasty rumors!" Which basically turned out to be her mom saying how proud she is of her daughter, a high school teacher saying she's smart and motivated, blah blah blah, and high school friends saying that she's a sweetheart. Shocking!

She did, however, write and direct a short erotic film for, apparently, a "class project." Gotta wonder what kind of class that was. And if it can be factually proven? I don't think it can be classified so much as a "rumor", you know?

Based on last year's women and this year's men? Probably Intro to Marketing.

Delusional much, Amy? He obviously noticed you when each team kept picking you every time there was a switch.



Yes, they are very catty, but the only way that wouldn't be noticeable is if you didn't have a TV.

BWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Amy, you might not have be Carolyn's choice (bitter much?) but the likely hood that Carolyn is intimidated by Pamela is slim to none, and slim just left town.
