And Ivanka continues to be awesome.; २०/३/०६, ९:३१ PM
esk म्हणाले...: At least he didn't play the, "they are threatened by me" card, during his exit speech. Have to give him credit for knowing he couldn't pull that one off.; २०/३/०६, १०:०४ PM

And did Lenny decide to lay low this task, or did it just look that way from the editing?

I find the female who keeps boasting about her net worth in comparison to the net worth of the others pretty annoying. But of course that won't hurt her in The Donald's eyes.

Brent got fired because Trump obviously views all the footage before the boardroom. I'm not sure that's the way it should be done.

Anyway, the show makes Brent out to be a fool before the country, which will haunt him for years to come. Trump calls him a loser right to his face. Yet Brent STILL kisses Trump's ass when he's saying goodbye.; २१/३/०६, ४:१० AM

He didn't act like he did the week that Stacy said Brent threatened him. Remember how Bill Rancic was all "no one will ever know what really happened...." But I guess he could be just posing for the sake of the drama. I actually think Trump uses only the Boardroom questions to figure out what happened, because that's what keeps it fresh and dramatic. Plus, why should he take more time than needed to do something?

I'm sure he can talk his way out of it. And he's got that celebrity thing going for him now.; २१/३/०६, ६:०१ AM
hygate म्हणाले...: I actually had some sympathy for him before the boardroom. He seemed calm and reasonable during the task and I got the impression that they were discounting his suggestions simply because of his appearance. If he had simply laid low he might have slipped by since there was no way that the loss could be blamed on him.; २१/३/०६, ६:४६ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: Hygate: Some of the best episodes are the ones where the loser is someone who only loses because he talks too much in the boardroom.; २१/३/०६, ७:१९ AM

Agreed; and, it has already happened once before this season. Apparently some of these high powered, intensely successful candidates aren't bothering to study the previous seasons for guidance on how to win over the Donald.; २१/३/०६, ७:५८ AM

I think Brent could study the old shows and still completely misinterpret them. His self-perception was so off. I'm sure he thought his talking too much was different from everyone else's.; २१/३/०६, ८:०३ AM
Laura Reynolds म्हणाले...: I have to assume the screening process looks for these oddball characters to add some flavor to the show but really these types have no chance. I would prefer the challenge to be the difficulty of the task not dealing with some malcontent.

Ivanka is good.

I guess I agree with tiggeril this week.; २१/३/०६, १०:२० AM
Ricardo म्हणाले...: ब्लॉग प्रशासकाने ही टिप्पण्णी हटविली आहे.; २१/३/०६, १:२७ PM
Ricardo म्हणाले...: One word: Omarosa. Brent can now follow her path, and make a career out of wackiness. Omarosa now bills herself as "Omarosa Entertainment Unlimited, LLC" with its own website (omarosa.com). Who says there's not a place for everyone, in America?

My only question is: Who in their right mind ever hired Brent as their attorney?; २१/३/०६, १:२९ PM
Glenn Howes म्हणाले...: My TiVo recorded an episode of Family Guy last night, the featured character of which, "Big Fat Paulie," could not look more like Brent and still be a cartoon.

Here's an image

And not just the appearance, the mannerisms too.; २१/३/०६, ४:४८ PM
