Pink Slip Thursday!

HR was so busy yesterday! Howard Stern was fired from Clear Channel radio stations and then it was the boardroom massacre on The Apprentice. There was nothing better than seeing callow Nick and annoying Amy get canned (at least Nick said thank you - Amy just freaked out and left) - except for feeling validated in thinking Omarosa is an idiot. If anyone could lose a rock star (and, honey, Jessica Simpson ain't a rock star), of course Omarosa would be the one to figure out how. Poor Kwame, but you choose, you lose, man.

well, osamara apparently was fired 4 times during her two years with the Clinton adminstration and was not well liked at all, almost punched in the face by a colleague. yeah, people really do like her don't they? crazy how incompetent stupid people still make it in this world.

DAZED & CONFUSED

I AM TRULY STUNNED AT OMAROSA'S BEHAVIOR. I HAD HOPED THAT BRINGING HER BACK WOULD GIVE HER A CHANCE TO VINDICATE HERSELF, BUT SHE ACCOMPLISHES THE OPPOSITE. IT IS WOMEN LIKE HER, THAT GIVE THE SMART BUSINESS WOMAN A BAD NAME. HELL, I COULD HAVE GONE ON THAT SHOW AND DID A BETTER JOB THAN SHE DID. I DON'T HAVE ANY CLASSY DEGREE AND NEVER WORKED FOR THE CLINTONS, BUT I DO KNOW WORK TAKES SACRIFICES, AND THAT IS ONE THING OMAROSA IS NOT WILLING TO DO. I THINK SHE SHOULD BE BLACKLISTED (NO PUNN INTENDED).

shake your trump-ah

If you were a willing competitor on this annoying show and someone from Trump's co. called you while you were in labor -- much less eating a lazy dinner at a floundering Jersey casino -- wouldn't you figure out how to take care of business?

The Omarosa sitch stank of a set up. When you're on a reality show you're effectively working around the clock, right? This notion of dinner being a work-free zone is implausible. I really don't think any competitor in their right mind would blow off an ugent call from a Trumpie no matter what they happened to be doing.

Dining at Alain Ducasse or La Caravelle w/ Trump himself might have been different.

I thought her name was Ass-orama?

Go Bill! We love Bill, bad haircut and all...

based on cuteness kwame would win. bill is not bad, but i cant get over that flat top

tien

sure...keep the brother down. i mean, the man's grandfather signed with an x! down with the man! go kwame!

Thank you Rachelle, as much as I like Kwame I want Bill to win as well. I think Omarosa was brought back in a sort of 'mole' role to see if Kwame would fire her. I would love to see the scene where he takes Heidi and Troy aside and asks if they can handle the additional work, they of course grin like banshees and agree, and Kwame fire's her. Wishful thinking, unfortunately.

Omarosa is a liar, but how hard is it to say to her manager/father "Your daughter wasn't on the flight she was supposed to come in on. Can you give her a call?"

It isn't like Kwame was running the airline also.

rappy

Not to detract from my hatred for Omarassa (which burns with the red hot passion of a thousand burning suns), we ARE talking about Jessica Simpson. I could totally see her roaming the ATLANTA airport and wondering why no one is there to meet her.

Then again, I saw the episode of this trip on the Newlyweds. It would have been even funnier if half of it was spent ripping on Omarassa.

sue

I cannot believe how clueless these teams are with these events. I still think Kwame is going to win...since they always set it up so you think the team that wins is doomed.
