There's a small discalimer on the NBC site that saiys that they commentary maybe edited. I'm betting Heidi was far more acerbic and f-bombable and they re-wrote what she submitted.

'Apprentice' castoff to build a reseller network ITBusiness.ca. About Nick's Canadian gig.

How to sound like the boss even if you're the apprentice Palm Beach Post. All about business speak akin to that which makes most of us scream when watching TA2.

I always liked Nick. He may not be a member of the intelligentsia, but he knows enough and is confident and personable.

I wonder when he was intereviewed for this article - before Raj's babe-hounding or after?

Jennifer C and John attend Alfie Premiere

Jen C

Okay, first two pics were uneventful. Then by the third I was like...What the hell is Jenn C doing?? She looks trashy. Cheap trying to pretend like she's a star. And why is she always trying to strike those sexy poses? John looks like he's trying to pull away from her. Ugh. I just hate this woman. Guess she's trying to trash it up so Playboy can give her some money.

Billionaire thumped by Trump NY Daily News. Eejits.

The next two are for the Carolyn fans:

The pics of John and Jen C.? Confirm my suspicions that she was the one that someone (I think it was Pamela) was referring to when they said that one of the Apprentices made her way through most of the male candidates.

And...that black fur jacket with that dress? Tack-y. Two different color blacks. That side view is not attractive. Saggy breasts and a puffed out tummy. Sorry, that girl is nothing but a fame starved attention whore. Gooch Pooch is right. How sad that, at 32 or 33, she still has nothing but her alleged sexuality to use to try to get ahead. Even worse, she shows no shame in that.

This just need to be repeated. That pic is horrible. Horrible, I say.

That Daily News article shows just how childish both Donald Trump and Mark Cuban are. I saw Cuban's show for about 30 minutes, and it was indeed awful, so he has nothing to crow about. However, DT should be above making immature and petty jabs at a show that is an obvious knock-off of TA. Oh wait, I forgot, it's Trump.

Considering TA's slipping ratings, and some of the boneheaded things Trump is doing on the show this season, he might not be gloating for long.

The pitiful little pissing contest between these two grown men is tiresome.

And I have to add my horror to those already expressed about Jennifer C. in that black dress. Get a mirror, Jen, and use it. And not a magic mirror that tells you what you want to see.

What is the front of the dress like? I mean, 'trashy' is too small a word. Whatever else you might say about Jenn C--and I've said plenty--she is a very attractive young woman. Why in hell is she turning up looking like that? Given her past performance I would have expected the full Breakfast at Tiffany's Monty. She would have looked great.

Instead she looks like she's on an open casting call for a low-rent escort service.

She must still be trying to get Trump to hire her. Now she's after Melania's job.

You know, I always thought Jen C looked very bottom heavy. That pic of her in the black dress where she's turned to the side confirms it. She's very oddly shaped. She's not proportionate at all. Someone should tell her that.

I went to high school outside of Atlantic City. I didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the press at the time but my parents did. My mother spews venom when talking about the unethical ways DT conducted business out there.

She said DT even takes the little guys (e.g. small, local contractors,etc.) to the cleaners. In other words, she would concur with Cuban.
--------------------------------
Jen C is more of a media hound than Raj. She always puts on this model-wanna-be face for her photos. Pathetic. Bleh.

I jsut read that they have started filing season #3 - anyone know when NBC is planning to air the third installment?

I think the third season is going to roll out soon after 2 ends.

Rita, I agree so much this needs to be repeated a third time....



Very few ppl can get away with "side cleavage" except well-toned 19 yr old models. That picture proves that JennC certainly didn't pull it off AT ALL! Doesn't she have ANY friends who would have told her, "Oh, honey, please...you cannot wear that out in public!" Yuck!

And blocked writer, I also caught some of The Benefactor this week....Won't be watchin' that show! Started off okay (altho Mark Cuban has NO TV charisma at all!), liked the task of helping ppl in Dallas (shout out to my hometown), but then he completely lost me when he made the team members turn on each other!! What an ass!

If I'd been on either team, I'd have just given up & said, "I'm sorry, but I will not try to make myself look good to you by trashing my partner. We worked well together today and did a good job. Period." I wish one of them had done that to see if he would have sent them home.

Here's a better view of the front of Jen's dress.

Front of Jen's dress

The link doesn't work, BlueSkies.

Yikes - that's just bad posture. I don't know that Jen C is "bottom heavy" as someone upthread said. I just think she doesn't know how to stand up straight - or is too busy trying to "pose" like a movie stah... Either way she looks like an idiot.

The ice cream episode is being shown in Oz tonight. Sydney Morning Herald. I keep waiting for Aussies to show up in the forums. I bet a few do after tonight and next week!

Now you can waste your cell minutes playing Trumpy's game! BUSINESS WIRE

They were talking about it on the local NBC news here, and said "at the beginning of next year." I'm guessing in time for Feb. Sweeps.

They also mentioned Omarosa and Kato Catlin are going to be in a reality series on court TV. That was just disturbing.

I saw that somewhere, too, clevername. Gag!!

Can anything be more pathetic as the washed up, famewhore usedtobe combo of Assorama & Kato?? Gee, what happened to their book deals, movies in the works, designer fashion lines, talk shows, cure for cancer, yadda, yadda, yadda?

Jenn C.'s figure may not be perfect, but I think her figure is O.K. It's just that the dress is so awful....looks like a big black scarf that somebody tied into a dress...it's like a big black sack!

Girlfriend just loves her some halter tops, doesn't she? Wonder if anyone's told her that some tops come with backs and shoulders? And you can wear a bra with them! And for the tops that don't have shoulders, there are strapless bras!

I think Jenn C's worst offense with that outfit is her shoes. Open toed shoes in late October? It was FREEZING here last night. Like 45 degrees. That dress is just ill fitting...and her bottom half is not being complimented in it.

Maybe she wore open-toed shoes to go with her "waaaay-open" dress!

Ugh! What's with the constipated pose?! She looks like she's about to take a dump on the red carpet.

Awful pics. Awful dress. Snake looking Joan Rivers would have had a field day with this girl.

And the shoes. Did Walmart have a sale?

I predict more trashy junk for her as she tries to milk her 15 minutes.

Anyone want to start a pool as to when Jenn C poses for Playboy?

OK, so apparently I was wrong in dissing O's comments about being able to overhear the (muffled) boardroom. But what I don't understand is this: I thought the first season I read, ad nauseum, that the BR was a fake set but that it was *in the basement* of Trump Tower because the loser each week actually doesn't take the elevator down, but up, to the street. What happened to that? Is the suite also in the basement? I'm thinking not since I'm pretty sure there is a balcony.

Aw, you wrote the TV Guide interview, Miss A? I liked it before but I *love* it now! I'll have to go reread it.

Does Playboy have folks in there with sagging breasts?

Blondie, I didn't see that episode you described, but it doesn't surprise me. The episode I caught part of was when Cuban had two contestants play a game of Jenga to decide who went home. JENGA!

That was it for me. The show clearly sucked, and as you said, Mark Cuban was pretty charisma-fee. However, it was kind of low-rent of Trump to gloat so openly at the show's demise. Trump has had enough of his own failures, and TA is inching too perilously close to the suck zone for him to be so high and mighty.

If ratings for TA3 go down another 20%, I wonder how The Hair will spin that?

Oh! That reminds me...whatever happened to Omarosa and the alleged Playboy offer, does anyone know?

Jen C. would do it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, what did happen with that! Gotta say, even tho I still hate Assy "with the fire of a thousand nuns", she certainly looks like she'd have a Firm killer bod under those fugly clothes she's been wearing as she "crashes" all the awards shows.

I'd have thought she would be a good choice for Playboy before her 15 minutes wears off...they could book it as "She may be a Liar, but she looks Good!"

Maybe Playboy wasn't willing to pay the 10 bazillion dollars Assy thought she was worth to pose.

Which is interesting that she even threw that out there because when she was on Larry King Live with Amy and stuff she said that she was running for political office one day and couldn't ever entertain a Playboy or Maxim spread.

Here is an even better shot of her side cleavage and a fat roll as a bonus.

You know, if I actually liked Jenn C. I probably would overlook how awful this dress is and how awful it looks on her. I don't particularly consider her "fat" and the way she insists on posing would probably cause a roll to show in many women. However, since she's such an unlikeable person, I don't feel all that compelled to overlook anything. She's trying to portray a sex kitten in her poses and especially her facial expressions....and all I have to say is: Just. Don't.

Good Grief! JennC, JennC, JennC.

Strike One: Two very different shades of black.
Strike Two: Payless Shoes on any red carpet; any carpet.
Strike Three: Inability to keep mouth shut even while posing.

I'll stop.

I read that as "being seen in Oz" the prison show. Mind warp, too much TWoP.


After the shrimp cocktail episode, I'd believe it.

In one of the early pictures, it looks like she bought one of the capelets--from the men's line!

I love how Miss Alli asks some of the questions we've been asking...Bradford & Stacie J, tasks, Don't.Cross.Carolyn promotion.

Carolyn & Mark B's answers about Stacie J were so formulaic, but they contradict
each other. Carolyn tries to save her boss' ass by saying that Trump investigated Stacie's behavior, then Mark B. says that Trump can only take "their" (the women) opinion about Stacie's behavior. Well, which is it?

TV Guide:

Then she says that people are more concerned about pointing fingers than tackling the task. Well, they've learned through very good training from Trump that that's what gets other people fired. They don't have to take responsibility and why should they when Trump hardly seems to notice except in particular cases (Pamela-pricing & John-pricing).

Speaking of TV Guide... I just found out that in a recent TV Guide poll Elizabeth was in the lead to win. I think it's based on her experience as a brand manager at Procter & Gamble. Can somebody post this TV Guide article?

I also heard that Elizabeth was in the lead to win (for betting) a few weeks ago before the "leak". Isn't that true?

Aww man! I cant find a listing for the Oz Network in my TV Guide? Is there another name for it, or is it a premium/pay channel?

I soo wanted to catch the Ice Cream Eppy

THANKS!

Oz = Australia. Sorry. I won't do that again. And TA2 shows there on Tuesday or Wednesday nights which is about 16 hours ahead of the USA's Tuesday/Wednesday.

They can try to clean up the mess from Stacie J.'s firing all they want, but Trump can't scrape all the crap off his pink ties. It's sticking, no matter what anyone from the show says.

Trump investigated Stacie's behavior all right - by holding that ridiculous kangaroo court when he called Team Apex back into the boardroom. If there was a real investigation, when did it happen?

If there is footage to show that Stacie was truly a threat, where the hell is it? If it really exists, and they are holding it for DVD sale, as someone suggested on one of these threads, fuck them. They won't see a penny of my money. I'm not going to be played that way.

I think they are trying to play it from all angles. They showed enough footage to show that Stacie acted strangely. Her teammates looked bemused, surprised, and maybe annoyed. But no one looked scared. I don't really believe that anyone was truly scared, or that Stacie freaked out to the extent that the Apex bitches said she did. Do they really expect me to believe that Jennifer M. was really the only one who was willing to live with a deranged 8-ball pyscho? All of Apex's credibility went out the door with the timing of their accusations, IMO.

I think that once TPTB saw how things played out in the boardroom when Stacie was fired, they edited the 8-ball incident to make Stacie look as bad as possible. This way, it would lend credence to those lies and exaggerations, and it wouldn't make Trump look like he got played by Apex. Everything but the final two episodes were filmed before the season started, so they could edit the shows anyway the wanted.

Mark Burnett and Donald Trump are low-life, rat-bastards, IMO. I don't care at this point if there really is more damning footage of the 8-ball incident. Even if there is, Stacie didn't deserve to have accusations of mental instability thrown at her by those prevaricating bitches in the boardroom. No one does. They can take people to task as much as they want for messing up on the challenges. But that attack on Stacie's sanity took the boardroom politics somewhere it should never have gone.

Even assuming that Apex was right about Stacie and she was seriously disturbed, (which I don't believe), she would be a sick person in need of a doctor's care. Would Trump have treated someone he discovered had a serious physical ailment the same way he treated Stacie? Would he say to that person, in the boardoom, in front of several people, "You have cancer, and I can't have someone with cancer working for me?" Of course not. If he really thought there was something mentally wrong with Stacie, he could have handled the matter privately, and in a way that would preserve her dignity.

I don't give a rat's ass what kind of bullshit stories Mark Burnett, Trump, Carolyn, or anyone else from the show tell now. They used the Stacie's situation as a ratings ploy, and it blew up in their faces. They don't like the negative feeback they received, and now they're playing spin doctors. Well, that shit is not working on me.

Damn, I didn't know I was still this angry about this until I read those quotes from the TV Guide article.

After reading the first two questions I wasn't surprised to read Miss A's name on the by line but the answers were so unsatisfying I was quite meh about the whole thing. It was like the Prez debates each candidate (souless television reality show weasle) had their little script that they trotted out no matter what the question.

The questions were good at least.

Actually it shows on Thursday nights at 9:30pm which is in about 6 1/2 hours time. TA1 was on Tuesdays before moving to Mondays.


There are Australians here (I'm one and there were a few others around the end of TA1, some poped up in the Carolyn thread), its just I think most a spoiler-free and therefore are pretty much recap only.


heh isiscloud OZ is only in season 3 here and has definetly meant that I no longer shorten my nations name anymore to that, and that I immediadtely think of naked Keller when others do.

Oh and big thanks to goobaletta, Blueskies and everyone else for all the articles and pics. Very much appreciated.

Sorry, sinclair. I haven't been able to get my Aussie days right since y'all had the Olympics. Thanks for setting me straight. *waves to all the lurking Aussies*

To anyone who's been looking for the Black Enterprise commentary for Week 6 - there isn't one so far that I've found. Week 5's is still up at the site. I have no idea if they'll put one up for last week, but I'm surprised they haven't because of Kevin ending up in the boardroom.

Slow day. Only a couple of things. As ever, if things appear, I'll post 'em. *curtsy*

Elizabeth at top of to-go list. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Donald Trump's Apprentice gives Bryant audiences tips to get hired Providence Journal. Free registration. If you're a Bill fan, worth the effort.

Please don't put me in a position that requires me to defend Jen C. There are many, many things I dislike about her, but let's be honest. She may not win any most toned body contests, but she does not have fat rolls in that photo. When you turn at that angle, your skin has to stretch, and when you're that naked and get photographed, that's what you'll see. It was a most unfortunate choice of dress on her part.

In a lifetime of unfortunate choices...

Indeed, I'm not telling you not to say it, but I find it sad that with a woman that wee, "I hate her" turns, inevitably, into "she's fat." I think that's a real bummer.

I was just checking out today's TV Guide poll and the question was who will be fired tonight. Leading the pack...

Wes! With 27%! Huh?

Ivana was next with 22%. But more disturbingly, Maria had 2% and Stacey had 9%. When I vote in these polls, I typically vote for the person I can't stand and pray is going home. Does this suggest that TV Guide Online Readers actually LIKE these women?
