Apprentice Live Blogging
Got a late start. Missed the project assignments.
9:10 - Hey Net Worth, if the cell phone don't work, pick up a land line. That's a no brainer.
9:15 - Net Worth is making a tabouret. Magna a lazy susan.
9:25 - i'm waiting for Craig to throw a tape dispenser at Kendra. That would be funny.
9:28 - On second thought, that's not a tabouret, it's a credenza.
9:29 - Craig's doin' a verbal smackdown on Kendra. If they lose, Tana is golden in the boardroom. But Kendra has immunity, interesting. Craig has totally missed that key dynamic, which could be his undoing.
9:31 - No, i changed my mind again. Since it has wheels, it's a tabouret. It looks expensive too.
9:33 - Net Worth lost. Back to the ivory tower, boys.
9:35 - Haha, the Staples "Desk Apprentice" is actually for sale. i think it's stupid. Too big for most desks, plus you need to keep the area around it clear so it will spin, thus it takes up even more space.
9:39 - The rainbow room looks suweet. i just heard the male half of the tv audience let out an audible sigh of disappointment when Carolyn revealed she was married.
9:42 - It's traditional at my place to say "Trump" in unison when the boss walks into the boardroom.
9:43 - Can lawyers be creative? Sad to say, in my experience, mostly no.
9:45 - Alex, you're a loser, face it.
9:48 - i love that Jetta commercial where the dude's on a job interview and his car radio comes on accidentally and it's way too loud.
9:50 - Alex is the "hungriest person here." Should have had lunch before he went in. Brin has trouble "taking risks." Might have wanted to keep that to himself. Trump just smelled blood.
9:52 - "Branson went after me, I killed 'im. Cuban went after me, I killed 'im." Whoaaa. Nice trash talkin' Don. What about Martha, i wonder?
9:53 - It's Bren. He didn't want it. i just watched him commit boardroom hari-kari. Talkin' about how he'd rather be home with his kids. i can respect that. Oh well. Another bow-tie bites the dust.
9:59 - In the cab, did i hear Brin clicking his heels together three times?

I didn't see last night's show, but it has been obvious since very early on that Alex is an empty suit. Trump, inexplicably, is blind to this and the guy keeps hanging in there week after week. Brin may have not been the best guy in the world, but he would add more value than Alex.

I can't say I was disappointed with Carolyn being married. I don't consider her to be attractive. I was a little surprised after watching her fawn all over Bill in the 1st season though.

I'm hopelessly addicted to this show. LOVE IT.
I'm not so sure I like Craig. I didn't like that he didn't participate in the focus group research. You can never have too much market research. And who the hell files their folders vertically anyway?!
And I sure as hell am not impressed with Alex. Brin seemed like a really nice guy, but he did seem to be much more exhausted for the past couple of weeks.
I think the one that will come out on top (ultimately) will be Tana. That's my prediction anyway.

I hate the show, mostly because Trump is one of the biggest cheats in America. His biz model is basically trailor park chic; buy on credit, hide assets, go bankrupt.
Anyways, the rolling credenze was a BRILLIANT idea. That fucking lazy susan was ultra-lame, and says more about the "judges" than the judged.

It may not strictly be a rolling credenza, but it is most certainly NOT a tabouret. For one thing, it is not low.

By far the best
Apprentice episode of this season. It had everything: drama, tears, comedy, sex. Well maybe not sex, but Tana and Craig did sleep in the same room together, while Kendra was having orgasms over her brochure design.
Oh and by the way, i was blogging about the Solstice over a year ago. And i think the picture i took would have looked great on Net Worth's brochure. At least mine was in focus.

I'm glad that guy got fired. I was waiting for him to stab someone...since he's obviously crazy.
He was arrested last week too, I saw it on smoking gun.

Well they other guy on net worth, with the glasses, he's no good either. Kinda rooting for Tana, just cuz she's a character, but don't really like any of the ones that are left.

Since you're on to one-liners, I awoke wide-eyed at 0400 today and watched "Tea House of the August Moon" on TCM. Fabulous farce full of delight; Glenn Ford, Brando, Eddie Albert, and an all-star cast.
The closing line delivered by Brando, “Little story now concluded. But history of world unfinished. Lovely ladies, kind gentlemen, go home to ponder. What was true at beginning remains true. Pain make man think, thought make man wise, and wisdom make life endurable. So, may August moon bring gentle sleep. Sayonara.”

Contestant 2: Yup, time for Etiquette class.
The both pronounced it phonetically: Etiqwet

You could use almost every other thing out of Trump's mouth this season. My favorite though so far is from the Domino's Pizza episode and the follow up. He
suggests a meatball pizza, then repeats that it's a good idea when he hears the teams are using it, then says how Domino's is actually planning to use it.
Then, Whoops!, Domino's
isn't using it, they're doing Cheeseburger instead, so in the next episode, he berates the team for not doing market research, saying: "If you'd actually done some market research, you'd have found out that people don't want meatball pizza. They want cheeseburger pizza." And of course, he's appearing in a commercial where he appears to come up with the idea for the cheeseburger pizza.

I was tired of the cocksucker that is the donald BEFORE he cheated everyone out of hundreds of millions in New Jersey. He is what Mike Milken called a "monster", i.e. he is too big to say no to, and he has no scruples. So, if you get in a business deal with him, you're fucked.

Is it just me or does that Trump quote remind you of the scene in A Clockwork Orange (the film, not the novel) when the Nazi-looking fellow asks Alex whether he "is or has ever been a homosexual?"

it reminds me of that scene in stripes, too. Where the recuiter asks bill murray and harold ramis the same question and bill says: "you mean like flaming?" then ramis says "no we aren't, but we ARE willing to learn."
