No one I know in RL watches this show, but I think it's hilarious! Watching the celebrities - and I use that term loosely - getting on each other's nerves (to put it nicely) is really funny and some of the things they say are just outrageous! NeNe from Housewives of Atlanta is a hoot! And you never know what Gary Busey might do. Richard Hatch was laying low last night. So what did you think of last night's episode?

    Heartnsoul76 ..  It's your friend .. Vicki Sam from Southern CA .. and American Idol site ..LOL .. I think I am turning into a 'Reality Show' junkie.... Stilling LMOF .. Yes,  I started watching this season because of the celebrities .. or lack of them .. 

    Meatloaf .. has a temper,  Dionne Warwick - an older bitter witchy -- and Star Jones will be there to the bitter end.  Poor Lisa Rinna -- shark bait!! .. Star and Dionne - Oh my lord ..  feisty sharks.  I adore Marlee Matlin -- love her!  What about Nene .. speaking to the camera crew .. moving her hands quickly, in an attempting to show us audience folks -- with her interpretation of Marlee signing quickly .. precious.. I laughed out loudly at home, hubby looked at me ...

    Gary Busey .. a loose cannon, indeed.

    Hey Vicki Sam! I'm afraid I've become a Reality Show junkie, too! These are my only two, though, but I'm kind of interested in the best idea for a restaurant contest on NBC.....I went to the dentist today, and the first thing he asked me was, "So, did you watch The Bachelor last night?". I started laughing, because no, I don't watch that show and because he's a REAL Reality Show junkie! So, I said, No, but do you watch Celebrity Apprentice?

    He said, of course he watches Celebrity Apprentice! Then he went on to talk about Dionne Warwick - whoa! She's got quite a temper! I guess she's the epitome of a true diva! My goodness! The way she ripped into Marlee! Then did you see her turn around and start arguing with Marlee's translator? And then she sneered while she was walking out of the boardroom - Yikes!

    That NeNe cracks me up - she just says it like it is. Yes, her hands were flying when she was imitating Marlee being mad! Poor Lisa was perceived as a pushover by the sharks, and they were right. So far the other girls (Playboy model, the REAL model *snark*, and LaToya) have remained quiet, but they'll get dragged into it pretty quickly.

    I would say the men were going to win most of these because the women are so difficult to work with, but I'm kind of waiting for the HUGE baseball player, Jose, to lose his temper. He seems so close, and it will probably be with Richard Hatch (who is ridiculously arrogant!). And Gary, Gary, Gary....he's soooo far out there, and a handful for the men's team. 

    If Lisa didn't get herself fired, the money she won would have gone to Women's Cancer Research Fund!

    I agree 100% with everything that you've stated!  LOL .. Jose has those 'crazy eyes', I think he may be on something!  Gary, well he is not high on life, if you get my meaning -- perhaps, it's drug burn out ..but he no sense of reality.

    Those girls will keep me and you entertained for weeks.! LOL

    Vicki Sam - Gary Busey is supposed to be the Project Manager next week - unless the guys win by some miracle, he will probably be sent home. That would be a shame because I like the "surprise" element he adds. His charity is a place for head traumas -  you know he had that bad motorcycle accident while not wearing a helmet! That mixed with all the drugs, poor guy. I have a soft spot for him - at least he's still a good actor; he can play a scary role as good as anyone. Meatloaf went ballistic on him! LOL - and then Meatloaf couldn't stop crying when they won, that was sweet. Sometimes those men can surprise you! And Jose - phew! I bet we'll see his temper when he's PM, if not sooner. That guy's ready to blow!

    John Rich wrote a brilliant kid's story - he was funny when the advisor said, "unless you're really good at rhyming, I wouldn't try that", and he said he took that as a challenge. I guess if you've written 1500 songs, you would be pretty good at rhyming by now. Notice the men didn't clamor around saying they wanted THEIR names on the book cover - THAT was absurd of Star Jones and Dionne Warwick. I'd like to see Star and Dionne get into it - those two deserve each other!

    I don't see those women helping out Marlee much, either, when it's her turn. I have a feeling only Star and NeNe will be left standing for the women, and if NeNe outsmarts Star that would be hilarious. Probably not likely unless Star trips herself up, which she could certainly do. I didn't think her "executive decision" to shut the pizza place down last week was a very good one. Plus, they lost $35,000 from the fire station - I would have had somebody hoof it down there since time was already short.

    I think one of my favorite things about the show is watching the stars handle the pressure of a huge assignment and 24 hours to pull it off flawlessly - plus, your teammates aren't necessarily going to help you look good. Ah, drama drama!

    Gary Busey .. As the Project Manager -- say it isn't so...LOL   I must admit that I did catch a quick glance at a commercial advertistment - showing a clip of Gary!  All I can say... is that I can hardly wait . . . .

    okay, HeartnSoul,  I too, admit I have a soft spot - now that I know about Gary'shead trauma and all. Poor thing!

    I know 'nothing' about John Rich, his songs or music or books.  He appears very intelligent, and well spoken.

    I am still waiting for 'crazy eyes' = Jose to throw a few punches? LOL

    Looking forward to watching the  Diva's turn on each other..  Poor LaToya, and Marlee .. LOL

    Okay, I admit, I love Celebrity Apprentice.  I read the spoilers sites, so I know who wins, but I won't tell.  Dionne was not only not too bright, but also truly ignorant about deaf culture.  I enjoy watching the dynamics and it is sometimes sickening to watch them all cow tow to Trump.  Can't wait for next week!

    LOL, it's kind of hard to admit, isn't it lovemyfamily? But you're right, the whole dynamic of this particular reality show is super-interesting! Watching the way these big egos interact with other is funny, and no one's going to back down.

    Dionne was SO insulting to Marlee, it really was just ignorant. I would have smacked her! But, maybe not with the whole world watching....

    I don't know anything about John Rich, either, but he must be a pretty sharp tack! I'll bet he does well when he's the PM, but WAIT! Then again, you never know, because so much depends on if your teams helps you or not. It's like, who do they want to get rid of? If I was on the women's team, I would want to get rid of Star because she would be hard to beat one on one. If I was on the men's team, I would probably want to get rid of Richard Hatch because he plays dirty. Such a sneaky b*stard!

    Warriors ..  so sorry,  but I am still laughing out LOUD -- Regarding Ne ne reenacting the tiff between Dionne and Marlee .. with her hands flying here, there, and everywhere!  I have lost all respect for Dionne and here ignorance!  Some Diva, right?  No class, all sass.  Boring, mean and entitled.  Why ? she will not last long ..Why are the girls so afraid of calling her out ??  Because she is a legend ... hahah .. the claws will be coming out, and Miss Dionne will be elimated - soon.

    Richard Hatch, Jose and Garey -- will definitely keep us glued to our TVs .. not to mention, Star Jones and Ne Ne.

    I don't watch the "Real Housewives" shows - so there's PROOF I'm not that addicted to reality shows. LOL - no, I'd never watch those even if I was, but I think NeNe was the breakout star of the Atlanta version, and probably because of the things that come out of her mouth - she says the funniest things! I bet she's going to be the one that tells Dionne off - I surely hope so, because that woman needs a little humbling and I think NeNe is the one that could do it. She's too young to be intimidated by her legendary status.

    HeartnSoul .. I've missed you friend!    Same with me, I don't watch 'The Real Housewives' of downtown Detroit, or Whatever .. but, I did see Nene on 1 of the a.m. talk shows -- She is part of the original - Housewives of Atlanta, and sister to Toni Braxon, the singer.  She stands about 6 foot, no kidding!  She is  beautiful!  New We TV reality show ab out the Braxon sisters -- NeNe is part of this new reality series with her sisters - I think there are 5 sisters?

    My Guilty Pleasures:   Celebrity Apprentice, American Idol, Survivor and now my daughter has me watching, The Biggest Loser!  LOL ...  I guess it's better than watching hours of murders, drive by shootings, drug raids, and insane Politicians.  Every major channel has 4 or 5 CSI, or Law and Order venues .. Yikes ...

    Vicki Sam - hey my reality pal! Looks like we're posting everywhere at the same time! I'm getting ready to watch AI now - LOL! These are the only 2 reality shows I watch, but you're absolutely right about how limited our choices are anyway. I've had enough of cop shows - all networks, all the time. The news is depressing and the doctor shows are amateur compared to what we as BC survivors know now. (not including House - thankfully, we don't get THOSE ailments!)

    As silly as the Biggest Loser looks, I can see getting into that one, too, but I just refuse. My son wants us to rent "Lost" and start watching it, but I'm just so resistant. I don't know why - some of these are very tempting and I guess I just think I don't have the time to care. As a realtor, I know I would be interested in some of those reality shows with real estate agents, so I may bend my rules a little and check them out, but I'm trying to resist the evil Reality Show temptations!

    Have you ever watched those shows like Hoarders? Sometimes if I'm flipping around, I'll stop there - it's pretty amazing and yet sad, too. I try to avoid the sad things! I need to see what's on WE TV - I have never stopped to look at it. Gosh, there are so many to choose from - travel shows, cooking shows, travel and cooking shows combined!

    I had no idea NeNe was Tony Braxton's sister, and that there were 5 girls! Whoo - that must have been quite a handful! I might have to take a peek at that show, too - it's on WE, you say? Haha, my resolve is weakening, I can tell!

    AND hoping we see a certain someone get their comeuppance on the women's team - now THAT I'm looking forward to!

    HeartnSoul .. 

    Hoarders .. tried watching, but I get so depressed with the the mountains of garbage, rats, and soiled clothing.  It's difficult for me to watch the entire hour, even when I zip thru all the commercials via my dvr remote.

    Gary will provide us with hours of gab time, here on our site!  LOL   Did you all know that he is 66 years of age ??? 

    Dionne .. born in 1940 .. so she is 71 .. she seems so much older than that ?

    Geez - Gary looks much younger, doesn't he? Usually the woman looks better. I guess ol' Gary had some work done, but maybe necessary after his motorcycle accident. Still, he looks like he's in his early 50's, bless his heart!

    Dionne - wow, I thought she was close to 80! Boy, she and my mother would get along - both mean as hell and loving it!

    Oh, I've only watched one Hoarders and it was very upsetting. It kind of makes you sick to your stomach, but at the same time I feel glad I'm not THAT disorganized. No, I won't watch it again - it was the episode about the poor guy with all the rats in his house, and he loved them. Ugh!

    Jose looks like he is on something--kind of scary like he is going to blow.  Did you notice the twitches?  Still can't figure Gary out--I do think he has some mimimal brain damage.  I liked John Rich--he worked hard.  I still think Dionne Warwick is not very nice--Star is smart as a snake--she knows how to put the words together , Anyway it was fun!

    I think Star and Dionne are being difficult on purpose.  They want all the other women out of there.  I cant stand either of them.  Jose is lazy, he needs to go also.  Gary makes the show interesting, although he doesnt seem to be playing with a full deck.

    Dionne and Star .. LOL .. doing what they do best ..  Dionne - Diva daring another to take her on .. Star - control freak.  Poor Nikki, wanted to go home .. no doubt about it!  ASAP, needs help .. and now.  Marlee is the only other women, standing up to Dionne and Star..

    Poor Gary,  he really thought he was a good Project Manager - focused, calm and contributing to the cause.  Jose .. hello, why does he nap all day ?  He 'crazy' eye stare .. frightens me a little...

    Dionne and Star are hard to take, and yes, I think Nikki WANTED to leave. To hell with her charity, she just wanted to get out of there. They are AMAZINGLY antagonistic!

    I think what Gary thought he was doing was keeping peace within the team, and he did do that. But those guys really came to his rescue - he couldn't have done it on his own. Oh well, at least HE thinks he did a good job because they won. I'm glad he'll be around to keep things interesting. Jose - oh, I hope they make him the next project manager and then sit around like he did. I think he was happy to play ball with Gary the night before because he wanted to distract him - almost like something the women would do. However, it worked out well for Gary the next day as far as appealing to the public and the executive with the camping company.

    I bet the women are going to try to make Marlee the PM next week, but there's no way I would accept it. It would be GREAT to see Dionne be the PM - how I would love to just sit there and wait to be told exactly what to do and do absolutely nothing if she didn't tell me. That's just absurdly and obviously not helpful. Reminds me of poor Lisa Rinna.

    NeNe is still a kick to me! She's definitely my favorite on the women's team, and I think Jon Rich is really, really helpful to the men's team. Mark McGrath was surprisingly whiny - I loved what Jon Rich said about Mark - "you're panicking and it's freaking me out!".

    My picks for a juicy .. laugh out loud episode next week .. would be the following two contestants as Project Managers:

    ASAP -- Dionne

    Backbone -- Jose Canseco

    Can hardly wait to see Gary, next week.!

    I don't know if anyone here has a Twitter account, but Don, Jr. tweets during the show and makes funny comments and asks questions of the viewer. If I didn't DVR it, I would answer him! Maybe next week I'll try to watch it live so I can see if he responds to my answers!

    His Twitter name is @DonaldJTrumpJr

    Heartnsoul .. where is that you found out last week - that Gary Busey would be Project Manager?  You had that piece of information, long before Sunday night's episode ..  I'm going to blog the show right now...LOL

    Gary Busey - 66 years old, right ..  he has a 1 year old child.  Yes!

    I'd like to see Dionne as a project manager while there is still enough women to cause confusion. Not that she needs much to get confused! What a bitch!!! I LOVE that Marlee didn't know of her fame due to being deaf! hehehehehehehheheehe

    Opposite Dionne should be a real whipper snapper to blow her out of the water!! Conseco does contribute, but when his idea isn't taken he shuts down. What a baby!!

    I would have so much fun causing mass confusion if Dionne was the project manager! But I can actually see Star using that as her modus operandi on Dionne - Star likes to hit 'em where they're weak. THAT would be funny!

    Vicki - I think I saw that Gary would be PM in a commercial advertising the upcoming Celebrity Apprentice and maybe in a tweet by Don, Jr, but looks like they're being real quiet about the upcoming PM's. Wouldn't it be great if they were Jose and Dionne? Maybe everyone across the country wants to see those two take it on, although like barbe says I want to see Dionne LOSE and not sure Jose is the best guy to win.

    Looking over Don's tweets, he said "Who do you think would win a debate between Gary Busey and Charlie Sheen?" Well, that would be an interesting conversation....

    cat - I hoped David Cassidy would have been around longer, too. I would have loved to have heard him sing an old Partridge Family song!

    Can't believe Trump kept Richard Hatch, the PM who lost! I told my son that I guess Richard Hatch makes for better TV ratings because he's so very difficult, but he's laid low for the last 2 weeks. I'm still waiting to see Jose and Richard come to blows. Actually, Jose seems crazier than Richard - he just might be the first one to throw a punch.

    Richard has been smart enough to stay below the radar. He is acting like the perfect employee after being a dominant PM. David became too whiney for me and I didn't need to know he only weighed 145 lbs! This was a guy I once drooled over!!!

    I think Star wants to be left with Dionne at the end and then she'll just crush Dionne, saying she carried her to the end and all.

    Wow, that would be interesting! Star would manipulate every move Dionne made until she manipulated her into a corner. Yeah, I can see that...play her like a chess game. Right now, they're sort of allies. I hope NeNe throws a wrench into the works. I don't think even Star can manipulate someone as unpredictable as NeNe.

    And I'm sure Richard Hatch can't control his obnoxious self much longer - probably see the real Richard tonight!
