In lukewarm defense of Toral, I can imagine her eager and excited about being on The Apprentice (as a networking opportunity if nothing else) only to find as her very first official action having to run on a golf course to get to a helicopter first, and then saying to herself, What the hell am I doing here?

Possibly her body stayed on the show, but her mind quit at that very moment.

I channel flip during commercials and thus I didn't see any of Randall's grandmother's funeral, but people commented on the inappropriateness of it, blaming The Apprenctice. Randall (and his family) allowed those cameras there (assuming they were), and thus Randall allowed the show to control his family life.

Maybe Toral wasn't willing to make that trade. Maybe she simply misread the nature of The Apprentice when she first signed on for it, and then found it to be a series of deliberately embarassing incidents that she wanted no part of. [/quote]

But she portrays herself as being brilliant and calls herself a "business genius" on her web site. If she is that bright and gifted, surely she would have done extensive research on what The Apprentice WAS before trying out for it. Extensive research like...watching a couple of episodes. Or reading a couple of articles.

The tasks are always embarassing. This is a show where a woman removed her skirt on the streets of New York in order to sell a box of candy. They scrub toilets, they hand out flyers on the street, they hawk food on the street, they wear stupid outfits, that's the show.

I can only guess that Toral thought she would get on the show and everyone would be so in awe of her massive talent that she would either be immediately hired by Trump and join The Viceroys or the other people of her team would be content to scurry about and do the actual work while Toral strategerized.

I approve of the way her team forced the issue of her superior attitude. The only point of asking her to wear the costume was to test her and she failed the test. I hate the Blondies too, but the fact is, the next task will likely involve something Toral would have found demeaning too and aside from her being just a raging bitch, she actually would have been a liability to any team she was on, because she was only willing to do certain kinds of tasks.

She didn't like demonstrating technology to seniors. She refused to wear a costume. When asked about being PM, she said she knew nothing about advertising, marketing or branding. She made herself pretty damn useless with all her can'ts and won'ts.
