apprentice: does Omarosa think the entire US doesn't know she's a yatch and a liar?

[cheapie]

what a bitch. and a completely useless person. she totally lied on the show tonight. did she think the camera was not on her? how is she going to get a job after this? you see the time when she had to go to the hospital with a "head injury"?

Kwame - he's the boss 7%
Omarosa - she's in charge of logistics 83%
Diane - she's the Entertainment Coordinator of the Taj Mahal 2%
Jessica's Management - they deal with her travel 8%



loser.

"I'm going to crush my competition and I'm going to enjoy doing it."
--Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth

Omarosa is a former political appointee in the Clinton and Gore White House. She currently works as a political consultant in Washington, DC.

lol. i don't know what to say.

[bachviet]

Now we know it's all Clinton's fault.

[eSDee]

Tonight? Did you Tivo it or something?

I have heard some people say that she might have been put up to it to challenge Kwame's leadership ability. But yeah, she's scandalous.

[ray]

Who cares what Omarosa thinks. She was fired/moved about 4 times while she worked for the Clinton administration. One co-worker apparently wanted to punch her in the face because Ossabuco was such a b****.

I've been saying all along that Kwame has been sailing in under the radar. I personally think he's a textbook kind of guy and lacks the proactiveness that others have showed, but since he's been pretty consistent with his performance that's why he's in the final.

I still say Kwame will take it.

[hapoo]

I just think its a real shame he let troy go. I think he was the best one there. But between bill and kwame, i'd rather kwame take it. For some reason i don't like bill.

[baggio248]

Not to be mean, but everytime I hear her name, I always think of:

[Pinkgirl36]

she is a freakin bitch!!! kroq had a whole thing yesterday am about her and what is her problem. it was quite funny!

[mcs328]

I wonder if she was put up to screw him over for ratings sake or if she really is that spiteful. If the first, then Kwame is just doomed to fail. If the latter then I question anyone willing to hire her as part of their company. She's not a team player and I would fear for my job if I worked for her because she might make me the scapegoat for embezzlement or something.

[Showtime]

Lazy and pretentious are bad qualities. I couldnt believe Kwame didnt press her about the phone call at dinner. The nerve of that "woman" to lie about it and try to act like she couldnt be bothered at dinner. In fact I felt Kwame did a very smart thing by picking her with his 2nd pick. He knew she would be last and would resent it so he picked her early cuz he would end up with her anyways. I would have liked to see the team being picked some other way.

Its funny how it came down to the 2 most educated candidates IMO. Kwamee - Harvard. Other Dude - Loyola with some Cum Laude....

I still think the show is completly rigged.
-If the teams were left alone than it would only have been women left after a few weeks. None of whom were qualified to run one of trumps companies.
-Trump fires a leader who makes a bad decision in the 1st week even though Gilbert Gottfried looking dude was sleeping on the job. Can you say Ratings? He kept Gottfried for ratings and fired him the next week when he had no choice.
-Amorosa should have been fired after her 2nd time up for dismissal. She caused the most controversy and that = ratings.
-Trumps reasoning for some of the firings was so subjective that it could of gone either way.

In the end he has the 2 most qualified men to run some dummy corp for his amusement.

Anyways,

I vote for Kwame to come out on top. Since he did go to Harvard and all.

Uh, no. They had some guy early on who had an MBA AND a doctorate, and he was under 30, if I remember.

[LegendKiller]

I hope that Bill wins. Nothing like smacking down a Harvard snob.

Not to be mean, but everytime I hear her name, I always think of:

I agree that Omarosa's a queen b****, but isn't Kwame the stupid one for choosing her to be on his team and then appointing her to do an important task?

[cheapie]

wow. kwame's team is falling apart. try dropped the ball on the breakfast. then omarosa had the balls to get in kwame's face and tell him to get on troy for screwing up. what a bitch.

[cheapie]

man. cept for the breakfast thing, i think i would hire troy to run my company before anyone else. he's awesome.

[cheapie]

wow. omarosa totally fvucked kwame by disappearing with jessica simpson and not answering the radio. trump looks pissed.

[Pinkgirl36]

i wish i had a working tv tonight....grrrrr

[cheapie]

amazing. trump just totally called omarosa out. asked her why she lied. and then asked the other girl if she was doing ok after the yatch said she dropped the n bomb. i'm suprised kwame didn't punch her in the mouth. she cost him the job.

[DarkFury]

CHEAPIE!!! Geez man... some of us haven't seen the ending yet! Don't spill all the beans yet... OK?

[hapoo]

Yeah man, don't tell them bill wins yet!!!! Let them see it for themselves!







j/k, havent seen the episode myself yet

[Showtime]

I cant believe that b cost Kwame the job! It is beyond messed up. Freakin trump needs to clarify that you can fire someone.... That was the main question we had while watching it unfold. Oh well poor Kwame will have to settle for a quarter million job with some other fortune 500 co.

Even though Kwame got screwed, he'll have plenty of job offers lined up...

KFC Woos 'Apprentice' Loser with Finger Lickin' Offer

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Fried chicken giant KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken to people who recall the chain before its rebranding) thinks that the runner-up on NBC's "The Apprentice" will make a perfect fast food employee. But rather than just giving the loser a chance to ask, "Do you want mashed potatoes and gravy with that," the company is offering a limited time high profile gig.

The final firee between Bill, Kwame, Amy and Nick will get the chance to spend a week as the Chief Sales Office for KFC, with the opportunity to help the chain roll out its new over roasted chicken line, a potentially difficult task indeed.

While the winner on "The Apprentice" will get a year-long gig heading one of Donald Trump's myriad companies, the runner-up will have the opportunity to spend one week as KFC's CSO. That week will include a $25,000 salary and a year's supply of KFC products. That person won't get to see The Colonel's blend of secret herbs and spices, but if they just so happen to do a national advertising spot while they're there, so much the better.

[eSDee]

I thought it was awesome that Omarosa got exposed like that at the end. A lot of times in life you gotta suck it up when injustice is thrown your way since a lot of times things are out of your hands. It's just reassuring to see that one girl who allegedly called Omarosa the N bomb vindicated. There's still a chance she said it, but because Omarosa was shown to be such a lying manipulator, it becomes highly unlikely.

[CornMonkey]

i hate that drag queen.

[LegendKiller]

I don't understand why you people are flipping out about Omarasa costing him the job.

He was a manager that hired an obviously lacking employee. Furthermore, he KNEW she was doing this stuff and he didn't do jack about it. He was an ineffective manager and needed to be fired, its plain and simple.

If I pulled half that crap with my boss I'd fully expect to be fired, and if he didn't do it, I'd expect his boss to fire both of us.

LK

[cheapchinese]

i really wonder how can she get hired after the show is done

[DarkFury]

Ah... the limitations of "TV" with right out of college kids...

Sure you could SAY that you'd be the hard @ss in front of the cameras... however when the moment really hits you with the pressure building, actions can be much different than hindsight.

Honestly, I woulda fired her too... or at least I woulda put "Troy" on Omarosa or moved her to a "less critical" position (and definitely not next to the star of the event)

everyone is blasting kwame for hiring Omarosa. but guess what -- he didn't have a choice.

bill picked first. so when kwame made his second pick, he had the choice of nick, omarosa, and heidi.

1.) kwame knew nick would be useless, which of course he was. did you see nick do anything for bill, other than "check on the frost update"? nick had his pissy attitude from the start about "i guess i'm an employee, so i suppose i'll deal with it." in addition, i think nick has disliked kwame long-term, at least since the planet hollywood episode. so nick wasn't an option for kwame.

2.) heidi hasn't ever really accomplished anything on most of the episodes. she's not necessarily a drag, she's just not productive.

3.) it was a risk-reward tradeoff. omarosa does have skills and abilities, and i think Kwame thought that if he could channel her, he could get her to do some useful work for him (whereas with nick and heidi, you knew you were getting nothing).

4.) Kwame knew bill wouldn't pick Omarosa, so if he didn't pick her with his second pick, she would default to him as a last pick. he also knew she was potentially a problem employee. if you're going to channel a problem employee to do something positive, the way to start out ISN'T picking them last, showing that don't even like them. to try to insure as much success as possible, kwame had to pick her with his second pick.

basically, the fact that bill got to pick first gave him a huge advantage. had kwame picked first, i think the picks would have gone K - Troy, B - Amy, K - Katrina, B - Nick, K - Heidi, B - Omarosa. a Kwame, Troy, Katrina, Heidi team would have given a drastically different result, i think.

i agree with jel that it was unclear whether they could fire people. it never occurred to me that Kwame could have fired her. i don't think it occurred to him either.

i think the one mistake Kwame made was that he should have put his foot down sooner and said "listen guys, we need to run a tighter ship, this level of sloppiness is not acceptable." other than that, i thought he handled everything excellently.

bill....i thought his performance was weak, and his task wasn't all that difficult. plus, i thought he was far to disrespectful of leslie and the other golf course employees.

but overall, he's a good guy and i'm not sad he won, i would have just preferred to see Kwame take it.

[DarkFury]

Heh... too bad they didn't have a second round where they would have to switch teams and then do it again with 2 new assignments and see how Bill would've handled Omarosa...

[whitak24]

yeah, good point. i'd like to see bill keep omarosa under control and productive

Kwame may be a text book kind of manager, but he is also placing a lot of responsibility and trust into his employees (Ossabuco, Heidi, Troy). He may not have been right in avoiding micromanagement, but I probably would have done the same thing given the magnitude of the event and the situation.

I also agree that Kwame's event was much much more difficult beginning with the fact that they had to ensure the safe pickup and arrival of Jessica Simpson and her band to the Taj Mahal. Did Bill have to make any travel arrangements? None at all. He just had to make sure Trump's golf clubs and caddy were waiting for him the second he arrived.

While Bill had to find a sign that his team misplaced, Kwame had to organize a breakfast (which hit a roadblock) involving Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, the president of the charity they were sponsoring, the president of the hotel, etc. While Bill was busy working on gift bags, Kwame's team was preparing a Meet and Greet event for over a hundred screaming teenage girls. I believe Kwame had about 6 Taj Mahal employees to communicate with while Bill and his team were busy making their gift bags.

I'm not sure what it's like to host a celebrity for a charity concert, but I have been to enough concerts to know that scheduling is everything and if there are any hitches that prevents the musician from hitting the stage at a specific time not only will you upset the musician, but you'll have tens of thousands of pissed off fans to deal with as well. Bill's golf situation? There were probably 30 of Trump's friends waiting around in the clubhouse mingling peacefully while they waited for the course to defrost.

If I had to choose between running a golf tournament for 1 day or organizing a charity concert and publicity appearance, and the only factor in my decision was based on the overall ease of the project, I would definitely choose the golf tournament. However, since I enjoy music and concerts I would look at the other factors and take the gamble and responsibility of taking care of the Jessica Simpson concert because I know I would truly enjoy working on it.

Like they said last night, everybody has received some great job offers so I'm glad that they're all doing well for themselves. As Kwame put it in the board room, he gave up a job on Wall Street to spend 13 weeks on the show. Though he didn't win the contract from Trump, I'm sure he's got some employers lined up waiting to hire him.

I hope that the 2nd season of Apprentice incorporates more regular work-life tasks instead of these special one-time "projects" It would be interesting to see how the candidates perform under a typical situation in an office environment.
