The Apprentice my all time fav because i love elimination shows like this. Piers in my mind should not have become the celebrity apprentice and ill tell u right now that if donald was hiring someone to work for him like the previous 6 seasons then no doubt about it Trace would have won Piers is too arrogant and thinks too highly of himself but ill say he is smart and knows how to use contacts well but hes too arrogant and i cant stand that. Carol and Trace should have been the final 2 and im very surprised that Trump for like the first time ever didnt listen to what the so called execs said when he has clearly stated in previous seasons he always listens to what people tell him especially smart business people like Jim Cramer and Erin Burnett. TRUMP WHAT DONT U GET NOBODY LIKED PIERS THE GUY IS A FRICKEN LOSER WHO IS ARROGANT CAROL AND TRACE WELL LIKED MORE THAN HIM. I liked Season 6 but i could not stand Frank. Frank in my mind should have been fired if not in week 1 but def in week 12 along with my fav Heidi who disappointed me with how she did in Week 12. A wrong phone number is not as big of a deal as a crappy brochure made like a book and a bad video if i was Trump Frank and Heidi would have been the 2 i would fire. Frank because he acts as if Trump is like close blood with him and wants Trump to keep him. HE SUCKED IN WEEK 1 BUT I WOULD HAVE KEPT HIM OVER MARTIN BUT DEF SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED IN WEEK 12 u could even hear Heidi say during the episode that Frank was getting distracted ad was off topic the whole time and from my view Heidi seemed to be doin the entire thing while Frank did nothing i do give Heidi credit for focusing on what she was supposed to do and i would fire Heidi because even she was my fav she blew in the boardroom in week 12 Kristine was 100 times better than Frank and should have gone back to the mansion with Nicole James and Stefani

Jumped the second I realized they weren't going to get rid of Amarosa...they left her on the show for shock value and to hear whatever incredibly antisocial, insulting crap she was bound to spout...when I realized this, I stopped watching. Life's too short to watch THAT poisonous a personality. It made me feel sorry for the other players who had to put up with that offensive noise...

I think the complaints about money instead of thinking big, kicking ass, having talent and doing what you love are best seen through the Donalds last book. The "Donald" was asked to speak for an hour and offered $10,000. Donald's secretary goes "you must be joking" and hangs up. Then the offer is 25,000. And so the guy goes in order to do well you much take risk and do what you never thought you would doi which is code in the book for it's not about doing what you love, working harder and longer than everyone else (studies show that one is false we work best over time at 4 hours a day and that makes the most money for the companies). So after he pays his highest sum ever which is 25,000 for an hour and they hang up on him, he finally offers a million for an hour when his company grossed 3 million total and the Donald shows up. Donald man didn't you get enough off getting your name up on buildings and assuming no risk while putting up no money? I think Donald says it best in the book in his and the other biggest guys in America's world it's about taking this risk you thought you'd never take and luck. And he means not being one of the 3000 from 9/11 or 300,000 from the Tsunami but the one with the father who gets you the most stuff- he talks about how his friend who says there is no luck and he says don't you feel lucky about your father. What amazes me is that after Donald's father got him to put his name on buildings with no cash down or risk assumed to make his billions he makes his kids fight it out to get any of his money and he marries women younger than his daughter. And the kind he picks man it's like after the sex and the poor girl is done finishing her memorized speech for the camera what is she going to do just praise him over drinks at the 21 club before they go home and until he picks a younger girl to replace her from the Ms. Universe thing. I like the rest of the Donald and otherwise so far his latest book seems great and easy to read but man I guess it really is about the haves and have nots in America or either knowing math and/or Science to get the best grade on the bell curve and get past the progressive Liberals blocking you from opportunity or just having an engineerinig degree in general or utilizing affirmative action. But then again instead of just basing everything on power, money, rolodexes, the ability to pay 1 million dollars an hour and using PR people to help you with the answers, the cameras to spy on everyone to get to the answers by repeating what the best contestant says- like how Donald stole what was said about Mary Lou's performance for Home Shopping, I think Stephen Baldwin has it best. Instead of all of that hard work and making the other's comments your own like Oprah does all the time or sleeping with the right guys like Mary Lou or say Barbara Walters- there is a short-cut. Just ask what Jesus would do.

I can't stand Donald Trump. He's an arrogant, self-important, patronizing, belittling, sadistic misogynist who truly enjoys making and watching people suffer.

He would have been a big hit at Auschwitz.

I agree with what many have breren saying. I know Donald Trump has more money than I'll ever dream about, but he definately missed the mark when he declared Piers the winner this year. It was very essy for him to call on influential people and gain an unfir advantage over the other players. I think this show gets a little less
watchable each year.

Donald is probably getting his name on RIchard Branson's latest major project not taking any risk and making billions on the deal as I write this. Is it any wonder that Piers won?

Carol Alt should have been fired several times and wasn't brought up. She coasted and used smiling and touching and her looks. Her whinning when she got fired was too much for me. If she was such a great businesswoman then in 5 years on HSN she would have learnt about the importance of Paypal and not lost the one round where she was bold enough to be the team manager. But then again she is the face and she smiles and touches well so what can I say. I was dissapointed with Donald that he based who won on the birthright size of their roledex instead of how well they played the game and united the team. Watch Piers getting rejected and cursed as he tries to sell the sandwiches to get a true understanding of how he plays the game. Bur then again listen to the theme of the show- it's all about money.

Let's face the facts, here.  In the last episode Piers brought in a helluva lot of money & "The Donald" loves money.  It was obvious that Piers was going to be the Celebrity Apprentice since last week.  I, however, really liked Trace.  He played fair, was extremely likeable, and was an all-around nice guy.  I wanted him to win hands down, but I knew it wasn't going to happen.  "The Donald" is ALL ABOUT MONEY.  When Piers brought in all that money, it was confirmed.  I really wasn't too happy with the way Donald pushed aside Carol Alt just to have these two guys go at it.  As much as I liked Trace, Carol is a businesswoman & would have been a force to reckon with, especially against Piers. I also thought this last episode was way too long. I've got to admit that I will keep watching the next time (as long as they don't move it to LA & set up tents again. Ridiculous).

If Pierce was really the smart business man and not just the Rolodex king from the birthright of old school boy ties then a) he would have learnt how to get people to like him more b) he would have not been so defensive and fearful and c) he would have sold the fast food instead of just getting the connection Billionaires to donate 10k- and how much is 10k of BIllions? But Donald only seems to care that people can kick your ass regardless of how they do it or then again maybe the posters are right and unlike his son who seemed to be fair and objective about it the Don is total ghetto. Hey Don since Pierce is so intelligent why don't you let him put his name on your building with no money down and no risk assumed and take all the profit. Wow I believed you when you talked about luck in Think Big and Kick Ass but now I realize the truth- when you get that much advantage over others it becomes Ghetto and about creating a bigger gap between the rich and poor and every you touch turns to gold even if everything you touch is your handler's coaching and words from behind the scenes. But I could be wrong- Donald can you do like the earlier poster said and compete in the next CA with a lie detector test so we know you got zero help and have the viewers call in on whether you should win or not.

I guess the American vs. The English offers some excitement. The show kind of fizzled for me and I almost feel like suing for the hours I lost watching it.
I don't know about the length of the last post and it needed to be edited first but Pierce probably did coast off of the schoolboy ties buying him the win/ I'm sorry about his kids but he does not seem to have learned from that behavior. He can be funny but I'd like him more if he came with a pause button.
As for Trace he did use the street smarts element the best, He didn't argue- he seemed to have the least to prove of anyone- stayed under the radar and above when needed and didn't take on anything that could get him fired. He played the game right in terms of winning if not in terms of doing the best for his team. It is kind of Ironic though how the ones who play the game right on a number of levels other than calling up the birthright connections and acting like kids or by getting lucky get fired first. But then they are egotistical and Gene's claim to chicks seems to be they are quick to give it up to rock stars and think that his being in Kiss and having so much money makes him superhuman- there is no legit book that teaches guys to act that way for the ladies. I guess once you have the money anything you say is gold and the white women stop leading you like a dog- because in almost all ways it's the women controlling white america- and if you don't believe that just see if the husband sending back the new couch will get him invited in the bedroom that night. There will probably be an armed guard at the door. Anyway for me tHe whole experience of CA was like Survivor with the same kind of manipulations to stay in the game. . I almost want to say that I want The Donald to pay me compensation for pain and suffering!

I'm very disappointed in Donald's logic for the final two. Yes Pierce raised the most but thats only because he has the school boy ties to get the big donor and that;s a birthright thing. In a game sense he did what it took to lose and his ideas mostly sucked plus he hurt the team almost every time and then made it by getting Branson to give more money than anyone else good get. Lame. Thats like fixing the fight and taking a fall.. I thought that the game was going to be about not using networks and about having to rely on yourself. Boy was I conned by Donald. Then he got rid of Carol without saying how she didn't pull her weight in early rounds, botched the Home Shopping with the Pay Pal after working in that job for 5 years and Mary Lou failed to bring her up so she got fired. Look I agree she looks good, smiles good and she knows all the right touching and sex moves- she has been super tought those things of course by huge numbers of PR people but we don't know that right (wink-wink). She does her rehearsed speeches really well and I imagine she is fantastic in bed and the rest of it but this is not supposed to be about sex and what I look at is what is underneath the school boy ties Other than that was Pierce effective- I say no. Trace showed intelligence and street smarts and so on that was not about school boy ties- because he is right Pierce is the Chiwawa.
I wanted to see Pierce in challenges where he could not use his contacts- the footage I saw of him selling the fast food showed him being a jerk and getting passed by in the process much more than Baldwin who isn't that recognizable either. So I am dissapointed at how this shows that even in Trump's world it is still totally based on unfair connections and female sex. No wonder I can't gain momentum. Oh well I have dropped the unfairness of the human world for a divine intervention after the progressive liberals told me I was best and ruined me because I am a white male. And I will have to live life to the fullest in other ways. Donald is the human mode of successful not God's way that's for sure. I liked Baldwin much more than I thought and I guess his rolling over to kill Omarosa= which is just how Jesus would do it-
was his downfall. You are supposed to do your best and walk away from your enemies. Oh well...
P.S. Pierce can you ever make a slam dunk on your own without relying on celebrities- I thought you'd have more confidence than that. I admit though I could never beat you- you'd always have more school boy ties than me. Always- I can't top that I have to DIY.

Bye-bye Omorosa bye-bye! You know I love the Trump but a) I'd like to see a real behind the scenes of all the prep work he does and a lie detector test to make sure all of it is shown. b) I understand the Trump made his billions by getting his name on buildings without accepting any risk which means he skipped all the steps you are supposed to take to prove yourself. And now while he has leant how to do the Your Fired round so well I want him to do the following for the next Apprentice. I want him to compete with a neutral judge doing the your fired with the biggest business men in the world without anyone having access to bugs and security cameras, prep people, PR people, and whoever else guides them step by step through their work without getting credit. And want to see the Trump show that he is the best. Donald I know for you can do it and I'd put my money on you as the winner. In fact if I can bet on it I:m putting my money on you. Please get busy to making this The Apprentice Season 8.

Like I said before, Marilu is a smart woman, but it was a mistake to make her
the pitch person. She seemed really nervous. She was babbling so much the
helper guy couldn't get a word in edgewise, while Trace was soothing and relaxed. Stephen was right about one thing, it's precious to see a big man like Trace doing housework. Then when it came time for elimination ,she exonerated Carol which was unfair. Carol lied like a rug when she said she never heard of PayPal. Both Marilu and Piers tried to make Lennox the fall guy when he had nothing to do with them loosing the challenge. She and Carol should have been axed. The last episode with Omarosa was exciting.
She shocked me with her lack of judgement. Piers had the advantage of knowing a lot of rich powerful people.
Her ego did her in; Steven should have been product manager this time. Steven sabotaged her in my opinion. He didn't want her to win over Piers even if it meant his team would loose. Steven is a star and he knows people, but he didn't make an effort. You can bet if he was product manager he would have been hustling. Her last desperate attempt at getting at Piers
by calling him gay fell flat because he was so satisfied from beating her that nothing could spoil his happiness.
In the end she fell on the sword, but Steven should have gone too. He is a hypocrite. Then again,he's an actor, so "devout christian" might be another role he's playing.

Hey, we're Omorosa free now! Carol Alt may make it under the radar by modeling and then agreeing with everyone and immediately going up and offering support when it suits her needs. She's got the chick games down cold. Man I'd hate to be the guy with a girlfriend you want to marry and then Carol is coaching her on the phone or in the bathroom on what to do. And if you question them using the bathroom to ruin you for being too poor or whatever else they signal you out as the rude one and rip you to all their friends. Because they know that since they aren't men you can't hit them and if you try anything else they can 1) lock the door on you and 2) divorce you and clean you out with the court favoring the woman. But you know guys allowed this to happen because they are so whipped and so lead like a dog. White urban women have all the power in America.

-No Man can teach Omoroa because she knows the answer is always 1+1=3.

As much as I think the celebrity version of The Apprentice is more interesting than the previous seasons, it has too often made Trump look indecisive. He has spent way too much time fawning over the celebrities and trying to find reasons not to fire his favorites. I thought Trump really looked weak in the QVC project episode in which he couldn't bring himself to fire anyone on the losing team.
