just saw the torrent... wow this show makes me shift in my seat uncomfortably. Very very very good show

 

[glugglug]

Maria = not hot. Elizabeth & Jennifer C = hot.
Jenn C will be one of the final 2 girls left.

Stacie J is the best member on the girls team, and I'm not talking about ratings. She is more like the new Sam than the new Omarosa.
It's obvious that the girls are going to pick her for next week to try to get her eliminated (and they will fail).

The sequel is lacking a character like Troy. I forsee Troy, Amy, and maybe Nick or Kwamee making a return to compete against the final participants remaining this season.
Raj is a bit like Sam as well. I'm sure getting one of that type of character on both teams is intentional.

Most of the girls team this year SUCKS, and they will lose 4-5 in a row like the guys did last season, until Trump makes them mix the teams up again. Stacie will be going to the boardroom every time, so she may or may not make it through long enough to get a team transfer (before Trump fires her just for being in the boardroom 4 times in a row).

Stacy R. is also dumb. After they copied the guys idea of going to Time Square, she goes on about how the TKTS booth would be the best spot because of the crowd. It's not. While it may be the most crowded intersection, the crowd is relatively static and stationary, built up because it is a 45-minute line waving back and forth to buy tickets. And people are not going to get out of that line to buy ice cream. It's also at 47th street not 42nd. Where the guys were is a lot better because it is a big constantly changing, moving crowd where people are going in and out of the subway.

You heard it here first.

I watched the episode last night and I was all excited to watch it again with the extra footage until the very last part of the show where Trump says something to the effect:

"That's as good as it gets...it doesn't get any better than this"

I know it's a show and all, but that just made is seem that less genuine

 

[NFS4]

Bump for tonight's episode

 

[microAmp]

Think the million dollar idea will go through to the end? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Doesn't look like it

 

[PlatinumGold]

stacy pissed off the other two girls in the board room tonite. whether she stays or goes, she is out.

stacy shouldn't have gone off on elizabeth.

 

[microAmp]

Got to like Mr. Trump's firmness

"Maria, you said enough. Go get them!"

 

[poopaskoopa]

Man, I think Maria or Elizabeth should get canned, but Maria's kinda hot and Elizabeth has the perfect nose.

 

[Mike2002]

So it looks like Stacy J. got canned from what she acted like in the first episode. Did anyone see the first show where she acted "crazy" according to the other players or was it not part of the show???

 

[mugs]

Maria is not hot.

 

[isasir]

Only caught the last few min. of this episode (the boardroom). Did the girls lose the task, or did this Stacy ordeal override the task?

Also, what was the opening segment reaction to Bradford's firing?

 

[brunswickite]

"feared for my life"
"ducked in a corner"

i agree staci acted strange but cmon... these are grown professionals acting like children. Also, Maria should have been canned for her obvious fvck up. Plain and simple, they lost the task because Maria failed 5th grade math.

The girls lost the task because they were $5000 over budget. The P&G people claimed they liked theirs better than the guys', but I think the guys won it regardless of the budget issues. The $5000 overage came from a deal Maria did.

Yeah, I think the girls went way overboard with the way they described Stacie J. The only one who didn't was that one blonde, not sure her name [edit: Jennifer]. If I was Trump I'd fire them one by one for being pussies. I mean really, if he fired Stacie J for the way she was unable to cope with the pressure, then they all deserve to be fired for the way they handled Stacie J, especially the one who "hid in the corner."

 

[NFS4]

That was...uh...lame. Sucky episode

And it looked like Piazza would rather be having a root canal than to be there.

 

[brigden]

Yeah, they totally exaggerated, but she was loopy. There was no way she would be able to run one of his companies.

You need to instill confidence in your troops - she wouldn't have been able to accomplish that.

staci was a moron, but out of all her actions on the 3 tasks, none were as critical as Marie's mistake. Trump fired Bradford for a really stupid mistake but not Marie?

 

[PlatinumGold]

as i said earlier, staci had to go because it was obvious she would never have the trust of any of the other contestants. she was a total liability. she should have blamed marie and not elizabeth.

 

[Yossarian]

that was a bad episode. dull task, exaggerated antics in the boardroom. btw how sweet would it be to get paid $20k to show up somewhere and brush your teeth.

exactly

 

[z0mb13]

oh man staci couldve put up a much better defense than saying "i am not crazy"

she couldve said that the women are conspiring against her, simply because they dont like her


but alas I knew that she had to go sometime soon

 

[z0mb13]

oh and a side question,

is it just me, or is the sound effects/soundtrack too loud in that show??

I can hardly hear the dialouge, if I increase the volume, the sound effects will overwhelm the dialouge

I thought for sure the guys were going to lose this week when the million dollar thing went down the drain. Its a good thing that they had a contigency plan to fall back on.

The girls idea was a good one, but if it hadn't been for over-budget, they wouldn't be in the boardroom.

 

[imported_Strang]

That episode started off well, but it petered out at the end. I wonder wtf the guys' team did while waiting for the legal department to decide on their stupid sweepstakes idea. Gee, let's just sit around and wait and not bother to come up with Plan B. They lucked out.

As for the womens' team, I thought that the end was very anti-climatic. With all the build-up, I thought that The Donald was going to fire two people or move Crazy Stacy to the other team or something.

And really, couldn't Mike Piazza put on a decent T-shirt for $12k? Or at least pretend to be interesting since he had to know that it would later be broadcast on national television?
