    LOL, well I missed it due to the GREAT NEWS about Osama bin Laden. I will try to catch it later on Hulu or something.

      I watched it up until the time when Trump (the moron) decided to attack our President............he is not worth watching.............he is a disgrace to this country, and to his sons and daughter..............Imagine him as President............Not to mention what he did at the Las Vegas forum where he dropped the F bomb, and used the words Mother Fu--er on more then one occassion with no regard to the "women" in the audience........He is not worth watching anymore.............I'm done with him and apprentice................and to think I liked the guy

    Trump is definitely NOT presidential material! LOL

    Interesting twist with Latoya.  I wonder what the girls will make of that!

    Can't wait to see what happened, pip! My son has 2 finals to study for tonight, so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow night to watch it! Sounds interesting...

    Like many American's .. I missed Sunday's episode.  I have not gone on line to see a recap or replay.  Bin Laden living in a million dollar complex - 3 stories high, not in a cave (for the past 6 years) .. and we Americans are perceived as materialistic? 

    Thank Haven .... is all I can say!!!!!

    I was glad they brought Latoya back.  I like Nene, but she needs to learn not to yell at people in front of the execs.  Someone on here said they wanted to see John Rich and Marlee in the finals.....I totally agree.  They both seem like nice hard working people.

    I hate that Marlee pretended to like Laytoya when it was HER that got her fired!! SHE was the one that brought Latoya's name up last week when Star was the PM and should have been fired!! Two-faced...now I don't like her! And then NeNe saying "I like you, why did you think I didn't?" all that bullshit. Don't they KNOW it's all on tape for us to see what bitches they are?????

    barbe1958- Yeah....I completely forgot about Marlee throwing Latoya under the bus.  Maybe, I am not as big a fan as I thought.  I cannot stand Star.  It does seem like all she does is computer realted things every challenge and bosses everyone around.

    NeNe was interesting and fun to watch early on .. now I get frustrated .. as I can't believe she is still there .. flashing her 'attitude'.

    Star is another self serving 'DIVA' .... 

    My humble opinion . . . .

    In Marlee's defence, I think she pointed the finger at LaToya because she preferred to have Star on future projects.  While I agree that Star was the reason their team failed, she does perform more consistently and productively than LaToya.

     However, I am glad to see LaToya return.  That took a lot of nerve to go to Trump and ask for a second chance.  Loved how he said it would never happen again.  Is that because he won't be doing the show while he runs for president?  Or he just doesn't want every contestant hereafter to come to him after being fired.

    I would say it's because he doesn't want everyone doing it. I was surprised at his office. Not nearly as oppulent as I expected!! Marlee should have gotten rid of Star as she is the only one that matches Marlee in Donald's eyes. No point having 2 strong ones at the end.

    Finally saw Celebrity Apprentice last night! Barbe, my son and I also commented on how normal his office is for an executive. Not ostentatious at all.

    I still think Nene should have gotten rid of Star when she had the chance - last week when Star lost as PM. Well, it's sort of like a poker game, I guess. You don't know which cards to keep or throw out and which combination will make the best hand based on all the variables.

    I don't know how thrilled the guys were to have LaToya on their team, or how threatened the women feel about it. As nice as she is, she's kind of in LaLa Land - Donald may be intentionally handicapping the men's team. That's pretty funny, actually.

    I really don't think it took courage for LaToya to walk into Donald Trump's office to ask him to break the rules for her. I think it took an AMAZING amount of entitlement. People with a sense of entitlement don't get the "Life's not fair" rule that the rest of us understand.

    Nene's behavior in front of the executive - and the one who judges her team's performance - was so out of line and extremely foolish. But all in all, I'm glad Hope went home - how she got this far is beyond me.

    Hmmm... entitlement, maybe... But I went to my cousin's "30th" (she was older than that) birthday party on the west side of Manhattan back in the early 90's when I lived there, Donald Trump and Latoya Jackson were both guests at her party (ummm.. let's just say we don't really run in the same circles... LOL - since I am a "nobody" and my cousin used to model for Ford) - So... I think some of it may be that they are friends outside of the Apprentice as well???

    I think he's friends with a lot of them - he always talks about how far back he and Star go. But he may have given in to her because of their friendship. Still, all she kept talking about was how unfair it was that she got fired.

    hmmmm....tonight's episode is apparently 3 hours long - it starts at 8:00 pm. It says they have to do 2 tasks tonight, with help from Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan and Jim Cramer. Shoud be interesting!

    haha - neat to be circling that circle, Nordy!

    Did I just waste three hours watching this?  I enjoyed it though.  I think Meat loaf is a little crazy.

    I enjoyed last night's show, too! Meat Loaf is a little off his rocker (pun intended), but most musicians and artists are extremely sensitive souls. Jim Cramer's expressions were priceless when Meat Loaf was sobbing - I'm sure he's never seen anything like that before in a business meeting! Women don't even cry in a business meeting!

    The Jonz (John Rich and Lil Jon) are hard to beat, and LaToya bowed out graciously. BUT, I can't believe she only hit up Kathy Hilton for a measly $1000! You gotta be kidding me! That would be like me donating a penny. When their team lost the fundraiser, I thought LaToya should be fired not only because she was PM, but because she let Kathy Hilton off with that measly donation.

    So, so happy to see Star Jones gone! Meat Loaf handled her very well - that killed me when she said, "When you have my credentials, then you can argue with me." PUH-LEEZE! And I loved it when she said, "Case closed." Riiiight - Meat Loaf was not putting up with any of that! I think her attitude about not arguing (she pretends she's using it like a good quality, but she's really just not willing to have ANY dialogue) and because she couldn't wiggle out of her branding responsibilities, was why she was finally shown the door. In the car, it was typical Star - 'I was kicked off because for once I let others take care of the details and they screwed up - just goes to show, I should have done it myself.'  She is, of course, the one who said they didn't need to shoot a close-up of the box, argued about it even, then blames everyone else for not closing with it.

    To me, it's always an interesting show and there's always a lesson to be learned about the world of business. And they are really good life lessons, like taking responsibility for your actions.

    Drinking my morning coffee -- I decided to watch Celebrity Apprentice -- 

    Did Meatloaf -- cry again and again?  Oh my,  he may need some anti depressants --

    NeNe .. Up and Quit -- bad sportsmanship, professional suicide -- her true charcater show us - loud and clear -- what she is all about ..

    Star .. Out ..  she sure has a BIG ego! Bye bye,   Sweetie ..

    I see John Rich, and Lil John as the final 2 ..

    That's who I see as the final two, too! And they are both so good, I expect it will be a great finale!

    I forgot to comment about NeNe - wow, how unprofessional AND aggressive! Like Trump said, people who have done that in the past are forever seen as losers. And the first thing she said to Trump on the phone was something about him giving in to Star, like it was his fault somehow. All he was trying to do was give the teams some peace, but apparently NeNe wanted some personal revenge - wanted to set Star up or something.

    I also thought it was funny where Meatloaf just shook his head, and said, "Is Star trying to frame me?" haha - he got to see some of that for himself. Men like to act like it's just women over-reacting, but it's great when a guy gets a dose of someone like Star! 

    Vicki Sam - LOL on the bye bye sweetie to Star!

    Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Bye-bye Star Jones!!! Man. She is so far from reality and I think she actually believes her own lies...

    Nene. Quitter. Quitter. Quitter. She was upset that Star wouldn't talk to her. Hey Nene, maybe you might want to come to the realization that you cannot let every nasty word come out of your mouth whenever you feel like and expect everyone to just forget about it and forgive you. Latoya did, but she is a much different person than Miss Star Jones. And yes, Nene tried to put the blame on Mr. Trump, but you know she blamed someone for something else in a previous episode. Hmmm, part of being an adult is taking accountibility for your actions. Something that way too many people don't have a clue about these days. 

    Meatloaf. Yes, he cried a LOT... but I agree with whoever said that creative people also tend to be more emotional. I have been friends with many many creative people (artists and musicians) over the years and they are definitely more in touch with their feelings that someone who is more inclined to business and things like... Math.

    Can't wait until next week...

    Still don't like Marlee!! See how STUNNED she was when she found out that it was Star that was fired?? I thought her jaw was going to hit the table. I think she pictured herself and Star at the end and she figured she'd get the "pity" vote,.....

    I am still rooting for John Rich.  But I have always been a fan of his. Nice to see that he has a lot of good qualities that many big entertainers tend to lose along the way.

    Vicki - It is sad, but I can relate to Nene, because I have lost my temper as an adult before... with my sister. I said a LOT of mean things and it took a LOT to repair our relationship... all because I was angry and felt justified in letting whatever I felt come out of my mouth. Words hurt and Nene needs to realize that. However, if she never takes any accountibility for her actions, she will never apologize and will never learn.

    I like John Rich too!!!

    Nene is of the mind that if she talks the loudest and hovers over people she will win. Then she is surprised when people don't like her! Are you kidding me???

    Oh, that's like my brother! Tall and shouts over you. You can never make your point with him. Ugh! Lately, my son and I have been kidding around with each other and saying things like, "Case closed.", or "you can argue with me when you have MY credentials!" haha, at least we got a few good lines from Star.

    Did anybody notice the "Grand Diva" Dionne Warwick wasn't there last night? She must have told Trump "no", because she can do whatever she wants. I mean, doesn't he realize who she is? She DESERVED 6 weeks of coddling and first-class treatment, for nothing in return whatsoever. This show certainly didn't enhance her reputation, but it made me a fan of Lil Jon, John Rich, and Mark McGrath. I was already a fan of Marlee Matlin, but even more so now.

    The WONDERFUL scenes where Marlee went to Africa and John Rich went to St. Jude's just warmed my heart. The amount raised for charity was phenomenal! That is one reason why I prefer Celebrity Apprentice, because it actually creates a lot of good things for a lot of people.

    I thought Marlee's presentation was flawless, and she clearly enjoyed herself. I was worried when John Rich didn't greet the execs and especially when the band didn't show up. But, he handled that just fine - it was like a blip on the radar when it comes to how perfectly he handled himself all season. I definitely liked the 80's 7-Up zebra can better. It seems like Marlee could have done a lot more with the 70's design - something like Peter Max colors, or flowers. Disco was such a short period of the 70's, but it IS exclusive to the 70's. But the can needed to stand out more. "Feel the Love" would have looked great on a splashy colorful background - that would have given the zebra print some competition. But, the execs are using both so that's good.

    I loved, loved, loved that Marlee was able to get the original 7-Up guy for the commercial. The rest of the commercial was not that great, but that wonderful old man put it over the top. It was so nice of him to do it again! I think it's amazing how when someone from Celebrity Apprentice calls one of their celebrity friends, or even another celebrity they don't personally know, the celebrity they called to ask a favor always says yes. John Rich's commercial was terrific! I think it was actually Mark McGrath's idea and it was a good one.

    I'm definitely going to buy the song John and Marlee sang towards the end of the show. John Rich's talent just blows me away, and I barely knew who he was. He's part of that country music duo, Big and Rich, right? 

    I really didn't expect NeNe to show up, but it was so funny watching Star try to talk while NeNe never, never stopped talking to let Star get a word in. I'm glad she showed up just to see that! And Gary Busey cracked me up about that stupid kite thing! He kept bringing it up and bringing it up, and then he finally just got up and showed the world that the steak company DID use his idea about a freakin' kite! So funny! Both he and David Cassidy got the last word! 

    Anyway, I really loved the show last night. I thought John Rich would win, simply because of the way he conducted himself during the whole season. Sometimes, Marlee didn't pipe in when she should have (which was probably a smart tactical move on her part) and sometimes I think she had a better idea which she should have vocalized when someone else was PM to help the project win. That's one thing I didn't like about Richard Hatch - he would complain behind the PM's back that something wasn't a good idea, but never actually volunteer his idea - maybe he did off-camera, but I don't think so. But, anyway, she still outsmarted the other women and was the last woman standing, and that ain't no small feat, especially with someone like Star on your team. All in all, I thought it was an excellent seson!
