There wasn't a topic to post about real-life sightings of "Apprentice" people, so I thought I'd start the topic. This is where we can talk about any sightings/encounters we've had of these people in real life when there may or may not be TV cameras around.

Many of these "Apprentice" people hang out together in a group so that's why it may be easier to discuss sightings in this thread instead of their individual threads.

Here's my story:

A friend of mine was backstage at The Apprentice 3 season finale and she invited me to the after-party at Planet Hollywood. So I'm dishing the dirt. Feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

I heard that backstage, after the show, Tana was a very sore loser and was bitching to anyone who'd listen. Tana was using vulgar language, saying things like "I kicked ass" and "I'm glad I showed that Kendra was bullshitting about the Pontiac task." While Tana was going on her rant, Donald Trump and Kendra walked in the room, and some NBC handlers basically steered Tana out of the room, and all the attention went to Trump and Kendra. Hilarious.

Also backstage, Tana talked about getting another job offer that paid a lot more than the Apprentice job. Tana claimed that she got the job offer the day before the finale and she said she didn't accept the other offer right away because she didn't want to hurt Donald Trump's feelings by quitting the show during the finale. She said that since she didn't get the Apprentice job that meant she was "destined" for the other job. She also said she was going to take the other job and that she and her family would be moving. She refused to give any details about the job, and that made her story very suspicious.

The after-party was crowded but not too packed. I'm trying to remember every "Apprentice" person I saw. Here goes: Donald Trump, George, Carolyn, Kendra and the rest of the Season 3 cast; Jennifer C., Kelly, Maria, Andy, Ivana, Kevin, and Stacie J. from Season 2; Bill and Omarosa from Season 1.

Some observations of the after-party:

Erin and Kendra seem to be very good friends now. They were hanging out together a lot.

Tana was avoiding Kendra and didn't stay that long at the party.

Danny brought his guitar and tried to act like a rock star but no one cared. He just looked like a total dork carrying his guitar. Thankfully, he didn't sing. (If he did sing, thankfully, I missed it.)

Audrey had bitch-face the whole night. I don't know what her husband looks like but it didn't look like she was with anyone there who looked like he could be her husband. She looked like she was "dateless." She also isn't as pretty as she appears on TV. Her pouting made her look like she had Jay Leno's chin.

Michael from Season 3 (the Boston blowhard) was with his girlfriend.

Tara (not to be confused with Tana) was very quiet and subdued.

Verna was babbling about a book she's writing called "I Quit!"
I'm not kidding.

Alex was being very chatty and sociable. Yes, he's still a flirt.

Omarosa wasn't with her husband and she spent most of the time dancing at the party with random people.

Jennifer C. has lots of wrinkles--way too many for someone her age. She looks horrible in person. Her breast implants look bad too. She was trying to hang out with Kendra and was sucking up to Kendra. It was pathetic.

Ivana has longer hair now. It's shoulder-length. She was wearing lots of makeup. She was hanging out with Maria and Kevin.

Bill wasn't with a date. He looked great and was getting some attention from random women who were obviously fans of his.

Trump walked into the party, posed for some pictures and then left right after that.

Carolyn and George were with their spouses. Carolyn looks much nicer in person than she does on TV.

Thanks for the scoop, Cherry Delight. What is George's wife like? I've seen pictures of Carolyn's husband, but never one of George's wife. George strikes me as a very nice, down-to-earth person, so I would imagine he has a nice wife.

I didn't talk to George's wife but she looked like she was around his age. She had grayish hair. She looked like a typical nice grandmother. George isn't very tall. He's about 5'7" or 5'8" and she's a couple of inches shorter than he is. They stayed at the party longer than Trump did. George and his wife were gracious to everyone who went up and talked to them. Trump was just there for his photo op. It was obvious that Trump didn't want to mingle with anyone in the cast except Kendra. Melania wasn't with Trump at the party but I heard she was backstage with him at the finale.

Did the season 2 people bring their spouses or girlfriends?

I don't know if this counts as a sighting but I figured I'd share anyway. My friend was at a party and Ivana was there. He knows how much I hate Ivana, so he called from the party to tell me she was there and I begged him to spill something on her and he said he would. So he kept his promise and did, in fact, spill beer on Ivana (pretending to do it accidentally, of course) and she responded with a really bitchy "could you please watch what you're doing."

Well luckily for him, Ivana was just bitchy and didn't go so far as to drop her pants.

Good scoops, Cherry Delight! My only question was whether Michael's girlfriend was a model and/or European. And that's my only question because you described everything as I would have imagined the after-party to be (and at Planet Hollywood to boot...yowza!).

I didn't see any of the Season 2 people with their significant others. I saw Kelly briefly and didn't see his wife with him. Ivana is engaged but her fiance wasn't there.



Michael's girlfriend is very average-looking. She's a brunette,about 5'5" or 5'6." Definitely not a model. I didn't hear her talk so I don't know if she's European or not.



That's hilarious. I have to admit that Ivana looked gorgeous at the party. But anyone who watched Season 2 knows that Ivana has a horrible, bitchy personality. She's a perfect example of how beauty on the outside doesn't equal beauty on the inside. But for some reason Kelly, Kevin and Maria have really bonded with Ivana because they were all hanging out together at the party. Maybe because they all share a hatred of Jennifer Massey, especially since that Levi's jeans task when Jennifer tried to take more credit than she deserved.

It makes sense to me that the four of them would like each other because they all suck. Also, they all have a very inflated and not-based-in-reality sense of their own intelligence and importance. In fact, just thinking about those four idiots and how they treated their fellow contestants (Kelly with Andy and Jen M., Kevin with Elizabeth and Jen M., Maria with Andy and Stacie J. and Ivana with Stacie J. and Jen M.) continues to piss me off.

Kevin wasn't so bad but he's no Kwame Jackson. Most of the Season 2 people sucked.

Too bad Pamela wasn't at the party. She had a big makeover since she was on the show and I'd be curious to see what she looks like these days. I also would've been curious to see if there would be any interaction between her and Andy since they couldn't stand each other on the show.

Some other gossip from the party: Danny was pathetically ogling women. I ran into someone I know at the party and she said Danny, who's a total stranger to her, tried to hit on her at another party earlier that week and he was very crass about it. Like he literally said, "Do you want to spend the night with me?" This doesn't surprise me because I've heard other creepy stories about him. He's so socially retarded.

Heh. That's funny...my only question was whether Michael's girlfriend was a guy.

That's kind of hard to believe (that she refused), maybe it was the other way round? Maybe Danny is just very friendly and talks to everybody and sometimes this gets misinterpreted.

Whether you want to believe it or not, it's true. The person who told me this story has a serious boyfriend and she has NO interest in someone like Danny. She said Danny was the one who approached her, not the other way around. I also saw first-hand at the party that he was desperate for female attention, and he wasn't really getting it. How dorky/desperate it was for him to bring a guitar to a party like that. Maybe you should go to the thread about Danny for some further insight about Danny's character because some people who know him had some revealing things to say about him.

I never bought Danny's "nice guy" act on TV. He's creepy. He's been badmouthing the people at TWoP so he obviously reads this site and he can't take anyone criticizing him.

It's hard to believe that a woman would refuse to sleep with Danny? Why would that be, (especially on first meeting and with a line like that)?



I've seen that, too. And, Danny being Danny, it wouldn't surprise me if he even posts here from time to time, as well.

Hey guys, I didn't know this thread existed. Anyway here's my story about the dude, Raj, from an earliar season. So me and some friends were outside Marquee [or was it PM, I forget] at like 4am.. totally hammered. We normally take a limo to a friends pad.. anyway Raj was outside too and I think I started heading towards his limo- not realising it was the wrong one! I dont really see the show much so I didn't know who he was... but a girlfriend came running after me saying.. "yooo that one, not this" .. Anyway safe to say Raj was pretty surpised about this sudden rush of girls at his limo door-- I don't actually remember seeing this but then he tried to pick up one of my friends and put her in his limo... I think then someone told him we weren't trying to get into his limo, just all very confused! He he! It was pretty hilarious !! Anyway, he's me sharing the story!! :)

I don't know, maybe it was just my personal point of view (I would do it, just give me his phone number!). But my point was also that it is really hard to believe that celebrities like the Apprentice contestants can't find women to date or go out with if they want!! I really can't believe that, sorry!!

I believe it. Danny creeps me out. Alot of the season 3 men gave me the creeps!

Most of the season 1 guys and all but 2 of the season 2 guys were pretty hot. I've seen a few from season 4 and they were gorgeous.

So you think that every woman in the world, regardless of her relationship status, sexual orientation and/or interest in irritating reality tv famewhores, would respond in the affirmative when propositioned by Danny? That's what I really can't believe.

No, I just meant that they all would probably find somebody with whom to attend a party if they wanted to! But I don't think that going deeply into this discussion and speculating about their personal lives would add much to anything. However, I think this thread is a good idea, and I am always interested in reading more about Apprentice sightings!

And Cherry Delight, it is so cool that you leaked all these tapes (Home Depot, etc), and then went to the after party!

I actually find it hard to believe that reality show famewhores (I refuse to call them "celebrities") can find that many if any women willing to go out with them. And Danny's lucky if all he got was a polite rejection to his indecent proposal. I'm not sure I could have even been gracious.

Yes, it's totally pointless and wrong to assume things about an Apprentice person's love life if he or she didn't bring a date to this party. I saw lots of Apprentice people at the party who didn't bring their significant others.

The point is that when a total stranger sexually propositions you in a crude manner, it's NOT flattering. It's rude. It doesn't matter if that person has a pathetic shred of reality show "fame" like Danny does. (15 minutes and fading fast.) That doesn't make his behavior okay.



Yes, she politely turned him down. She didn't think he was worth the effort to get angry about it.

And by the way, sll, apparently Danny does have problems getting dates because he's a member of Match.com, and he activated a new account long after he was already on TV for "The Apprentice." So apparently his "fame" isn't helping him meet women if he's signing up for an Internet dating service. It's all detailed in the Danny thread.

I was just evaluating that statement based on his show behavior, and that allegation just didn't seem plausible to me. On the show, Danny seemed to be very nice, attractive, and not "crude" at all.

This wasn't crude. It sounded more like a geeky come-on line to me. And, having seen many geeks (oh, yeah, and being one), I find it very plausible.

If Danny presented himself at the party the way he did on tv, unshowered, unshaven and wearing the same dirty pink suit, Im not surprised he couldnt get laid.

Let's assume that is true: just because a guy is nice, attractive, and not crude, does not necessarily mean that any woman he meets will jump in bed with him. It's very easy to believe that Danny would get turned down, even if all that is true.

However, that being said, while I would agree that Danny certainly seemed "nice", I wouldn't consider him attractive, and although he didn't seem crude, he is a bit odd, and that might definitely turn OFF plenty of females.

Danny? Attractive? Huh? Wha? How?

Cherry Delight, great topic. I completely agree w/ you on not buying Danny's nice guy routine. Didn't he throw a fit and some chairs around when he didn't get his way? And whenever Trump (or Donny on his show) put him down, he always looked downright menacing--much more creepy than Sam's death glare, which I always took as just his being his usual melodramatic self when it came to Trump. He also was rude and interrupted a lot in the BR, much more than any of the women would have been able to get away with.

He definitely looked very unkempt and greasy at the party. He was trying really hard to look like a rock star. He failed miserably.

I guess people have different opinions on what "crude" is. I think it's crude if someone makes unwanted sexual advances on another person by pestering that person to spend the night, even though the aggressor has only known that person for a couple of minutes and that person did nothing to invite the sexual advance. I don't think it's dorky and harmless, just because it's coming from someone like Danny. It's obnoxious. But I understand that not everyone agrees with that so we can agree to disagree.



Thanks. But just to clarify, Danny never threw chairs on "The Apprentice." A former employee of Danny's said in the Danny thread that Danny sometimes threw chairs at work when he'd have one of his temper tantrums. Because Danny's the boss at his job, he can get away with it there. That kind of behavior would probably get him kicked off "The Apprentice." Chair-throwing or not, he showed a lot of unprofessionalism on "The Apprentice," which is why he didn't last long.

Oh, I was actually thinking of something that definitely happened on the show. I think it was during the first episode when he found out that Todd went behind his back (during the unaired footage, maybe?). Or maybe he just got a little miffed then and I'm blurring it in with someone else's tantrum.

I am not sure if this is the appropriate thread to ask. If not, I appologize in advance.
Does any of you know any details about the Apprentice cruise? Does any of you plan to be there?

Hello. I know/knew/worked for Danny.

I have never seen him be sexually aggressive towards women, he is pretty shy that way from what I have seen. He does like to gather people together (in a good way) and sometimes he might focus in on a woman but it's pretty passive socially awkward. I seriously doubt that he would ever just blurt out "sleep with me" nor "stay the night". I do beleive that he'd say "I was on the apprentice" as a way to pick up "chicks" as someone had posted in one of these threads.

Danny IS a nice guy, you'd just have to stand the creep factor. (And not work for him.)

Up until the summer before shooting he had a long distance relationship, so if he's at the wrap party alone it doesn't mean anything about his social life - just like Bill, Audrey and the others.

It would be funny to see him throwing furniture/having a snit on the extended footage if that is true, but as people pointed out above, I too doubt that he would have gotten out of control (or even have had time to get out of control.)

I think some clever matchmaker should try and fix up Danny with Jen C. That way both of them would be taken out of circulation.

Well, at least Danny's press photos show that he goes out with exceptional looking women (who look like models and actresses)--he seems like the very last man to have difficulty with finding a date.

Why would you want to punish poor Danny by doing something like that? He was a bit whacko on the show but fixing him up with JenC? Cruel and unusual punishment, I say. She'd chew him up, spit him out and use pieces of his guitar to pick her teeth!

Where are Danny's press photo's? I've seen the NBC photos and he (like the other apprentii) was alone. Can you link a URL sll?

Oh, I meant various photos in media (newspapers, online news sites), from different events and gatherings. On NBC official site, all Apprenti are photographed alone.

I saw Kelly yesterday! He was right next to me!

I was just walking out of Central Park onto Central Park South & 6th Avenue....when all of a sudden I noticed this guy in a gray pinstriped suit right beside me. He looked so familiar that I kept staring at him, trying to figure out how I knew him....had I gone to school with him? Ever worked with him? Had a friend dated him? How did I know this guy? I was staring so much that he noticed and turned to me.

I smiled and he smiled back, and then it finally dawned on me that this was robotic Kelly, season 2 winner of the Apprentice. So of course without even thinking, i made the connection and blurted out "Kelly!" and he smiled again. He was wearing a gray pin striped suit and white pressed shirt that couldn't have looked any stiffer and was talking on a cell phone, walking in a hurry.

My guess is he was walking toward the Trump Tower on Coumbus Circle, since that was right there and that's the direction he was walking toward. I couldn't help but think, "oh, Kelly, you poor sap. Have fun selling Trump Ice in your windowless office." He was in this heavy suit on the hottest day in New York City in two years, with a phone pressed to his ear, probably as some Rhona or Melania's assistant barked commands for him to scamper to yet another Trump location to help launch "Trump Baby Food" or something.

And because I am such a geek, I could not help but give Kelly one last parting look at him on his cell phone and chime in the lamest way possible, "Tell Donald I said hi!" and then I ran away.

So anyways, that's my Kelly sighting story on Central Park South & 6th Ave yesterday. He looked better in person than on tv I think....nice smile, nice features, not as spooky and creepy and vacant as he looked on tv. But he looked frenzied and hot and scampering to get over to a Trump sight and I couldn't help but think, what a sucky job....you won this?

I'm so curious to know who he was on the cell phone with.....Donald? George? I doubt it....who knows....it was probably his mom...."yeah, mom, I've got to get over to Trump Tower now. I've got to stick labels of the Donald's face on each water bottle..."

In a grey pinstriped suit ? Maybe he took some fashion pointers from Kwame because that sounds much improved over that awful satiny solid color off the rack looking double-breasted one he wore for the S2 finale.

RE: Danny



Thanks for your comments, ThunderbirdV, but the woman Danny hit on is attractive and I know her well enough to believe that she's telling the truth. She said that Danny was trying to be cute and clever when he asked her to spend the night with him, but he just came across as a dorky creep. It's not like he came on to her like a psycho. He was trying to be humorous but it didn't work. Also, being "sexually aggressive" is subjective. Once Danny realized he'd been turned down (after she said no twice), he backed off. Would some people consider what Danny did as sexually aggressive? It depends on an individual's opinion.

I'm also curious to know if you've spoken to Danny since he was on "The Apprentice." Being on a reality TV show can cause people to get huge egos and I wouldn't be surprised if this happened to Danny, considering he hired two publicists (not one, but two!) to hype him as an in-demand musician, when everyone knows he's just a wannabe rock star.



Actually, I totally disagree because Audrey, Ivana, and other Apprentice people who didn't bring their significant others to the party weren't acting like they were single and on the prowl for a hookup, i.e., blatantly ogling in a sexual manner and trying to pick someone up at a party a few days before, like Danny was doing. So if Danny has a girlfriend (I doubt it) that would make him even more of a creep because he was acting like he was totally available.

And even though Omarosa (who's married) was dancing at the party, she was dancing in a random group of people. It wasn't sexual dancing and she wasn't flirting with anyone. Just because you're married doesn't mean you can't have fun dancing with other people. (Hear that, Trista Sutter?)



Ever hear of paid escorts? Or famewhores who just posed for pictures with Danny so they could get their faces in the media?

Danny signed up for Match.com after he was on national TV for "The Apprentice." If he doesn't have trouble finding dates after his "Apprentice" fame he wouldn't need to sign up for Match.com.

But maybe he understands that those "dates" are indeed famewhores...and timing-wise, he happened to like what he saw on Match.com and was looking for someone substantial. I not a Danny fan by any means, but I wouldn't want to slam him and the others who use a website to meet someone nice who might be "the one" if they simply aren't finding through bars, nightclubs and Reality TV appearances. Also, did he sign up before or after the actual airing of the show? The time difference between the filming, airing and media blitz tends to warp our perception...what happened for us last week happened many months ago for him.

I am in no way attacking observations of Danny in person or based on a friend's account. Each person's reaction is different, which is why I may think someone is a sleazebag and someone else may think he's People's Most Eligible Batchelor. If she thought he was skeezy, then he certainly was to her. Based on what I've seen quoted from the other Apprenti, however, he appears to be "harmless," dorky and the quintesential geek (not computer/science geek...geeky for the sake of geekiness geek). I also don't see what Paulina Poriskova sees in Rick O'Casek from The Cars....but I digress....

Oy. That's a really bizarre allegation! But I also heard he's actually an alien, from the continent Atlantis in the middle of Bermuda triangle! And a good looking alien, I might add.

I agree, Good Things, if people were condemned for ever using online dating services for whatever purpose, then most of us would be doomed.

Why is it so hard to believe that Danny would hire a paid escort? I was half-joking about that (saying it as speculation) but if Danny has ever really hired an escort it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I have a hard time believing that any aspiring actress/model (i.e., probably a famewhore) would want to date Danny unless they were looking for some kind of "fame" or media attention from it. It's just like any ugly man who's "famous" who can score a hot chick. Would that woman be with him if he weren't famous? Probably not. Look at Howard Stern and his girlfriend.



I am not slamming online dating services, and this isn't about everyone on TwoP who may use online dating services. This is about Danny and how he approaches women he wants to date. I mentioned Danny's post-Apprentice Match.com account in response to sll insisting that Danny is a babe-magnet who doesn't have problems finding dates. And sll says that it's hard to believe that women would turn Danny down if he hit on them. (So we're supposed to believe that Danny is a babe magnet who almost never get rejected? Is that description of Danny based on wishful thinking or fact?) Well I know one attractive woman who did turn him down, and she's not lying about it.


Danny signed up for Match.com after his Apprentice episodes aired. He may have changed his user name, but at the time, his user name was neonerd which happens to be the name of his band that he advertised on a T-shirt when he was on the show. From what I hear, Danny likes to introduce himself to women as "Danny from The Apprentice" (he used that line on my friend too), so what does that say about him? Why can't he just introduce himself as Danny?

No one is expecting Danny to be perfect. But realistically, he's not one of the world's hottest bachelors. He's just a dork who had his 15 minutes of fame on a reality show. Most women who know about him from "The Apprentice" can see that he's not as hot as he thinks he might be. I think most non-famewhore women he hits on in real life probably turn him down, just like the woman I know turned him down at that party. So that's why I'm not surprised he has to resort to finding dates on Match.com.

No one is saying that he's incapable of getting a date. Of course there may be a small minority of women who may find him attractive. But based on what I know about him and what I've personally observed about him, he's not perceived as sexy by most women. And he certainly wasn't attracting any babes at this Apprentice party. Danny probably gets rejected more often than not.

I don't know why it's hard to believe, I have to agree with you--I do whole-heartedly believe that he "would never hire a paid escort", heh. On a more serious note on that important issue, I don't see much consistency in the above arguments that Danny aggressively and rudely propositioned a woman, and that he actually "was cute, clever, and humorous, and when seeing it didn't work, backed off." My argument, as many other posters in this thread agree, is that rude behavior with women seems kinda out of character for him.

And yes, the guy is hot, there is no helping it. If he wasn't, would one need these long tirades trying to convince the readers otherwise?

I personally enjoyed seeing a nice and smart human person like Danny on the show, who seemed to be motivated to care about his fellow teammates and encourage them when they were down--something that was very different from many other contestants on that show.

Please go back and read what I wrote. I said that based on my friend's description of what happened, Danny was trying to be cute and clever when he hit on her, but he wasn't being cute and clever. He just came across as a creepy dork.



This topic is to talk about real-life Apprentice sightings...the good, the bad and the ugly. Let's keep this on topic. This isn't the thread to rehash what Danny did on TV, his TV persona, or what kind of photos we've seen of him in the media. There are other topics for that. This is the thread to talk about real-life sightings of Apprentice people. Danny was a creepy-looking, greasy dork at the party I saw him at. He was acting like an attention-starved geek at the party I saw him at. A friend of mine had a not-so-pleasant encounter with Danny at another party when he hit on her. She, I, and I'm sure many other women who've seen him in real life DON'T think he's hot and DON'T find him attractive. This isn't the topic to insist that Danny is hot based on what was seen on TV. Remember: Real-life sightings.

I agree, this is not a place to speculate and draw conclusions about someone's love life or alleged online dating activities. And people have the right to voice their opinions if they feel that some allegations and speculations are not plausible, and suggest their views and interpretations of these.

Both of you, knock it off.

I never thought Danny was cute. He wasn't that bad looking either but his personality was a big turn-off for me. Yet it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that he got a lot of action after he was on TA. For some people, fame is an aphrodisiac -- yes, even low-rent reality-show contestant fame.

I'm not saying that there are scores of babalicious women out there who'd open their legs for anyone who ever appeared on Love Cruise, but I could imagine that if you were a hot girl and you were a fan of TA and you ran into Danny at a party, you might be excited if he wanted to talk to you...if only to hear some dirt about DT and the other contestants. And then if he was dishing the dirt, you might flirt with him a little just to keep his attention. After a few drinks (that he paid for) you might even make out with him. And then the other people at the party -- who might not even know who he is -- see him getting some action and then he becomes hotter in their eyes and soon everyone is riding the Danny train. "Who is that guy?" "He's Danny from The Apprentice!" "I want him!" And so on.

Thanks for the "sighting" info. I totally believe that Danny was "trying" to seem cute & cool but came off as a "creepy dork". That was the impression I got of him from watching TA.

IMHO, he's just one of those not-that-attractive guys who gets himself a "thing" (the ugly polyester 'neonerd' look), tries too hard to always be the center of attention, gets some attention (being on TA) which goes to his head & inflates his ego, and then begins to think he's much cooler & more attractive than he really is.

sll are you Danny??? Or maybe his Mom?

On topic, I saw Michael on Newbury Street (fancy-shmancy boutiques and restaurants) in Boston last week. He was alone, but yelling on a cell phone. I'm guessing he was on his way to work at his very large parking lot.

To me, Danny is one of the least hot guys I have ever seen. I couldn't stand looking at that guy. Ewww. But his constant guitar playing did add some comic relief to the show.

IMO Danny is a very gifted person musically, but social skills he seems to lack. I do think he is a nice guy.
