The Apprentice Finale

Post by Dregor Thule »

So, who watched it? I did, it was quite entertaining. I haven't followed the entire series, just seeing an episode now and then, but I think it works. Why? I'm not sure. Watching The Donald be an asshole is fun, if laughable. A pretty good cast of people were in it. That Omarissa or however the fuck you spell it... damn. What a dumb bitch. I don't doubt that there was some editing liberties taken throughout the series to help cast her in the idiotic light, but not that much. She's a lying, deceitful witch, and what's worse is she's bad at it. I mean hell, she made Jessica Simpson look smart!

Anyways, it was a pretty good show. That final boardroom and when they "opened" up the office, I was fooled!

Still like Survivor: All-Stars more tho ;)

I began watching this show towards the end of February and loooved it! Omarosa was definitely a piece of work. I saw an interview with her where she said that she purposely was deceitful during Kwame's job because "Kwame was part of the reason that I'm gone, so why should I help him?" I don't think it was much of a challenge to portray her in a bitchy light. I also think that she is suing that one girl who she claims made a comment about blacks. Trump alluded to it and has publicly stated that it never happened. She's a real gem I tell ya.

Anywho, I always wanted Kwame to win though. I've had micromanagers and an extremely laid back manager and the laid back manager was by far the best and most knowledgable I ever had. It seemed like the ones that micro-managed had little confidence in themselves and they reflected that by constantly checking on you every 5 minutes.

I'm looking forward to the next Apprentice though. Should be good times and more challenging jobs.

As for Survivor...watched that too! I think that Big Tom and the rest of the crew really need to wise up and either vote off Boston Rob or his girlfriend. They're going to end up screwing themselves if they think that Rob would let anyone else but his gf be in the final two. I hope things spice up a bit next week.

Omarosa is a bitch. Plain and simple. If you've seen her interviews on other shows, she's the same way. As for the lawsuit, it's Ereka who's planning on suing Omarosa for slander - since Omarosa has pointed the finger at Ereka for calling her the "n word," yet, Ereka claims she never said that, and the other candidates back her up. Donald even said on Oprah that nothing of the sort was ever seen or heard on tape. I wonder if seeing all of Omarosa's antics on tv will lessen her chance to get a decent job. I mean, people can't be stupid enough to hire her after seeing all that.

I wanted Kwame to win... but he should have fired Omarosa, or at least moved her to the side. That's what hurt him.

As for Survivor.... I really dislike boston Rob and "Ambah." I want Rupert to win.... but everyone has to get rid of Rob and Amber first.

People Magazine had an article stating that Omarosa was fired from her last 4 jobs. The whole while I was watching this I though that she was a plant by the company. I couldn't believe she lied blatantly like that. She had to know she was being taped.

The Apprentice II looks like it will have at least 3 of the previous people in it, Omarosa, Troy and Sam. I think that is strictly for the ratings. People love to see a bitch in action and will tune in to see what she does next. Personally I like Troy the best out of all of them but at my home we all wanted Kwame to win over Bill. However, because Kwame didn't fire Omarosa he didn't deserve to win.

I honestly thought it was going to come down to Bill and Amy, which imo would have been a much more competitve show down

Kwame is a great guy, but throughout the show he was too laid back and too casual about things, whereas both Bill and Amy are go getters...but once Amy was gone, I was all for Bill

All in all - one of the most entertaining shows on TV in the last few months...I really can't wait until the next one

Omarosa continues to lose friends and alienate people.

The much-loathed reject from “The Apprentice” was scheduled to appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last week, but refused to go on air when she saw a lie detector test backstage.

“The lie-detector test wasn’t even for her,” a spokeswoman for the show told the Scoop. “It was intended for Jimmy’s Uncle Frank [a regular character on the show], but when Omarosa saw it, she just freaked.” Some fellow contestants have accused Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth of lying when she said one of them used the N-word. “We tried and tried to calm her down, but she just kept saying ‘I’m not going on stage with that lie detector test’ then she just walked out. It could have been a problem because we’re a live show. Luckily, Camryn Manheim [of ‘The Practice’] was also a guest, and so she just stayed on a while longer and cracked jokes.”
This lady is such a piece of work, lol.

Proving there is such a thing as bad publicity, Apprentice villain Omarosa has discovered there are drawbacks to being reality TV's most reviled character.

The single-monikered saboteur (whose full name is Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth) has been cut from an upcoming Clairol commercial for Herbal Essences hair color.

a d v e r t i s e m e n t

According to a statement from Clairol, Omarosa shot a cameo for the company's "Streaking Party" commercial series. But "after reviewing the film of all the possible endings," the decision was made to give Omarosa the brush off.

The hair-product purveyor reportedly began having doubts about using the 29-year-old to pitch its wares after news of her hiring drew angry emails and phone calls from customers.

Then Omarosa's Apprentice nemesis Ereka Vetrini told the New York Post that she would stop using Clairol products if they were pushed by the former political consultant.

(Omarosa, who was at odds with Ereka throughout taping of the reality series, has accused the marketing manager of using the N-word, something Vetrini vehemently denied and producers could find no evidence of; Vetrini suggested Omarosa seek "professional help.")

Omarosa's abrasive personality also led to a scuttled appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show Thursday night.

The late show's audience booed when Kimmel announced Omarosa would be a guest, and, after she spotted a lie detector on the stage, she "freaked" backstage and left--despite producers' assurances that the polygraph was meant for someone else, according to a source close to production.

Quipped Kimmel in reference to Omarosa's disappearance during his live broadcast, "Apparently her 15 minutes ended the second before I introduced her. I felt like Jessica Simpson standing alone at the airport."

Other reported clashes involving Omarosa include:


NBC's she-devil ticked off Donald Trump when she pestered him for a job judging his Miss USA pageant, according to Us Weekly.

Omarosa threw a fit at an American Airlines ticket agent who refused to upgrade her from coach to first class on a Sunday morning flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, reports the New York Post.

Meanwhile, People magazine claims she was canned from four jobs during her time at the White House working for the Clinton administration. "She was asked to leave as quickly as possible, she was so disruptive," said Cheryl Shavers, the former undersecretary for technology at the Commerce Department, where Omarosa worked for several weeks in 2000.


In all fairness, Omarosa (who was quick to point out her White House experience when criticized) isn't the only Apprentice contestant to stretch the truth. According to an SEC filing published on The Smoking Gun Website, winner Bill Rancic isn't quite the multimillion-dollar Internet entrepreneur he's made out to be.

Rancic's cigar business actually sold for a more modest $425,000 last June. And while the Chicagoan could stand to make an additional $425,000 in stock and/or cash depending on the company's performance through 2006, he may or may not have to share the loot with the partner who founded the Ranley Group with him in 1995.

Winning a spot as the Donald's newest protégé may not be Bill's ticket to easy street either. The Chicago skyscraper project that the 32-year-old cigar salesman was chosen to oversee may be on shaky ground, according to the New York Times, which reported last week that financing for the fancy high-rise has yet to come through.
Glad to see Omarosa showing her true colors. :lol:

What comes around, goes around and I don't think karma is done with her yet. She made some hefty withdrawals while on the show. No wonder she freaked.
