Celebrity Apprentice

[Assuredcw]

I've lost all respect for Clay. He actually had an opportunity to get Lisa fired, and let her escape while he, Penn and Dayana sat in front of Trump in the boardroom. Trump said that Dayana has been in front of him 6 times and that he WANTS to fire her but he CAN'T -- she did practically everything that went right with the task (duh!).

Why on earth would he bring Dayana back? Because Lisa wants her fired?

Clay said that he had to "look back" and say that he brought Dayana back BECAUSE she was brought back all of those other times, and he was pretty much going to err on the side of caution. Which is pretty sad, because if he really was "looking back," he would've been afraid of all the unpleasantness and drama perpetrated by Lisa (and we will get more of the same judging from next week's preview).

Lisa and Aubrey (who won this week's task) are going to be hanging on until the bitter end...

Does anyone else fail to see what is so pompous about "earned it?"

And I'm really surprised that Clay wasn't fired. He approved to slogan, which they hated. He decided against Dayana's idea, which they wanted. Finally, he saved Lisa!

Ohhhhh boy...I read Clay's blog and he is such a coward! I can't believe him! He was my "dark horse" in this race lol! Now he's just a mule!

Dayana deserves so much better. I would love for her to win it all. If anybody should be given a paint ball gun to take her opponents out it would be her! Community meets the Apprentice lol.

Aubrey is nooooo good! She threw her team under the bus with a quickness and then tried to back peddle in the BR. Ohhhhhh Aubrey...

I'm glad Penn is gone. I am kinda seeing the pecking order....

Next week looks like a doozy

I deleted my dvd timer to record it after watching it Sunday-done with it-

I know...

It was hard seeing Dayana get fired, but I wasn't surprised because the task was writing and performing an English-language advertising jingle. I couldn't imagine anyone who would have been at more of a disadvantage doing that, than Dayana, because Spanish is her first language. She volunteered to be Project Manager on this task, which may not have been a bad strategy because she would have been out even if she hadn't been the leader - she wouldn't have been able / allowed to contribute - at least if she led-delegated she gave herself a shot. But the "difficulties" were the cummulative result of the effect of Lisa's rudeness on Dayana's morale - she no longer cared about avoiding an argument with Lisa, and an argument she did in fact receive. I'm disappointed with Clay, however - he criticized Lisa for being mean, but he joined in on that from time to time.

Now let's see if Lisa can remain civil, now that her excuse for all of that unpleasantness is gone...

Well here it is Thursday and I'm still thinking about Dayana. It wasn't that she was fired, I expected that. Being a fan of competitive reality shows I expect there to be some conflict but something happened here for me. I just can't shake how Lisa treated Dayana. I just can't. I want justice. I want something bad to happen to Lisa to where her whole world falls apart. I want her to suffer and when she does I want her to think about how she treated that woman. No one should ever be treated that way, especially for entertainment sake. That was not entertainment. That was verbal abuse and bullying and it's not okay with me. It was never okay with me. My heart hurts for Dayana. I don't have anything for Lisa. As a Believer, I just can't get there right now. It's the way I feel. It's gonna take a while and probably some distance. All I know is that I needed to say something because I don't want my silence co-signing Lisa's stuff.

It wasn't just Dayana - she was cruel to Teresa, too. Teresa called it - someone like Lisa always has to have a target.

I hope you were paying attention so that if someone you meet is like that, you will see it coming before it affects you. You can stay out of their way.

 

[Assuredcw]

Oh, and Lisa and Teresa are gone. (I think Aubrey is still there, but I don't expect for long.)

 

[AirPo]

I got the feeling Trump had been itching to fire Lisa.

 

[SparkyMaddie]

Oh, and Lisa and Teresa are gone. (I think Aubrey is still there, but I don't expect for long.)

I may.....watch it tomorrow. I may. I heard what happened and was sooo happy.lol
I too lost respect for Clay. I dislike the way this all turned out this season.

 

[Assuredcw]

We can hope for the pleasure of seeing Aubrey fired. That's because I don't think she has chosen a winning strategy. Women most particularly don't get away with being that aggressive, and she is competing with two men who have excellent interpersonal skills.

(Yes, Aubrey caught Arsenio off-guard earlier, but he is now acting on what he has learned about her, and that speaks to his maturity and skill.)

 

[SparkyMaddie]

So,is it Clay or Arsenio? I think Clay will win.

 

[Assuredcw]

Well, Aubrey DID get fired, and it IS now down to either Clay or Arsenio, and darn it - we have to wait until next week to find out which one!

I have to say, that if Arsenio figures out a solution to his "Magic Johnson in profile" problem, then he might actually win. That's because he is older and more mature than Clay, who might end up ticking off his teammates too much to get that much out of them, and he isn't going to be able to do this by himself. I don't think Arsenio is going to do that, if he was able to figure out how to remain calm and polite around Aubrey - LOL!

But Clay is getting testy and at times downright uncivil, and that may come back to haunt him. Even Penn Gilette (and he wasn't the only one) said that he himself has often been able to get "just as much done" when he doesn't have an intense, uptight attitude. That hit me as an understatement.

 

[Assuredcw]

So Arsenio Hall won The Apprentice!

I am pleasantly surprised, because I knew that I was beginning to favor him over Clay Aikin, but there was no telling whom Trump would select - LOL!

But they were both wonderful and it was close.
