Donald Trump's The Apprentice Season 2

[silentio]

Toys 'R Us seriously needs a new vp of marketing. The product placement on that episode was pathetic.

It's no wonder they're on the brink of selling off the whole company. I hope they didnt pay more than $50 dollars for that appearing in that episode.

no hotties this season.

you know one thing that I don't understand is why they even have candidates that only have a high school diploma, because last season when Troy was fired he was told by Trump himself that he couldn't hire him because of that very reason. I mean Troy was a remarkable candidate too (Trump said it himself), but because he was lacking the education he wasn't able to proceed in the game, so the question is why bother even selecting people with 'just' high school diplomas if he will not end up selecting them?

Crazy people. I can't believe a team of men could not come up with a single idea about what would appeal to 10 year old boys. "Crustacean Nation"? Morphing lobsters? Is that the best they could come up with? God, somebody shoot these guys. Trump should have fired them all for being idiots.

Yes, Rob probably should have gone, but it was close between him and Andy. Andy's got no experience but he's a smooth talker, so he probably saved himself. I would have kept Rob just to see what he is capable of. If he had stayed, Rob probably would have done something impressive next week to show up all his detractors. There is going to be a lot of animosity between the men since all of them were finger pointing in the board room.

The women at Apex had some good ideas for the toy project, but that Bradford guy shot all their ideas down and went with his little football guys. What's with the guys in this season's crop? They are all morons. Little football guys with a face! When Mattel shoots his idea down, Bradford tries the women's idea of the interchangeable morrphing remote control car. Then he says it's his job to listen to everyone's idea and not be a dictator, which was exactly what he was when he tells the ladies to screw off and he's going with his little football guys.

Should be an interesting season. The next project should be whether either team can fix Trump's hair. If they manage to make it move, I say we'd have a winner.

I wonder who the Omarosa of this bunch will be? I don't quite remember all the job applicants's names yet but I expect to in due time. I watch this show for one man alone, and that man is... DONALD J. TRUMP!!!

Raj is really stylish. I know, what's with that cane? but it got him noticed, and that could work towards his advantage. Still Week One, so it's hard to say what will happen to, say, Psycho 8-Ball Girl. She was flippin', but of course, might have just been the editing. Ya think?

There was a shy-seeming woman who was like 4' tall. No kidding! There was this one scene where it showed some of the tall guys walking past, and I assume they're 6'. And then, some of the women, about a foot shorter. And then, her! Who was she? She's like a blonde... I'm gonna look her up. Ah, STACY R. She's got to be gutsy, although I've seen a face like hers before and it wasn't exactly in family-friendly entertainment. (I don't know why that came up!)

Hey, last season, didn't they do full intros for all of the contestants? Seems like this time, they just dove into the meat of the action because it might have been too boring or something. They'll likely unfold it later, but it's interesting how some things are kept the same (the amazing music) and how other things vary.

Who bets Ivana gets a few jokes from The Donald about her name?

They will, of course, be doing heavy product placement in each and every episode. Including for The Donald's own products.

what was up with that scary spice girl that started going crazy with the 8 ball??? she's nuts. I would've thrown her out the window.

My mom said the exact same thing. Why bring them in at all?

Same with Andy (young Harvard grad). Trump said he liked everything about him except he didn't have enough experience. Somehow he's going to gain these years of necessary experience in a few weeks? What's the point of bringing him on the show at all if you think he's too young?

I agree with the firing of Rob tonight. He may be good (well he got so far), but this is his big chance and he just sat back and did not showcase his talents.
He needed to step up to the plate.
Is Maria hot or what?

IMO the only reason Rob got fired is because he made such a big deal about not contributing to the task, during AND after the task. The rest of the "team" smelled blood and ganged up on him in the boardroom. If he had just kept his mouth shut, the blame probably would have been scattered throughout the room and he wouldn't have been chosen as one of the final three.

From what we were shown I don't think he contributed much more or less than the rest of the guys. I think what he didn't understand was that there were 8 other people on the team and he was only going to have roughly 1/9th of the responsibility. I'm sure he felt if he wasn't making a MAJOR contribution, he stood a good chance of getting fired, so he figures before anyone else points out how little he did, he better defer the blame to the team leader. Problem was, I doubt anyone would have made an issue out of his participation level in the first place so he ended up creating the problem.

Like the "easy bake oven for 8 year old boys" ? Bradford's idea was crap also but in the end, it was a great product!

I agree completely, from what they showed he seemed to have been contributing just fine, his need to be heard is what set him up as an easy target. And just because one person wanted him out they all did because he was just an easy marker at that point, that way the rest of the candidates were safe for yet another week.

Did the dossier say that this product was supposed to be aimed at 6-year old BOYS? I can't seem to find the dossier online, I was just curious because I remember the when the girls were projecting they mentioned an easy bake oven, but that would have not made sense for a BOY. But, if the dossier did leave out that aspect then that's pretty stupid, they had no specific target market!

I was a little confused about that while I was watching. I don't remember them ever mentioning they were making a toy specifically targeted at boys (might have missed it) even though clearly that was the case. Seems like something they should have mentioned up front.

Anybody watching the rerun going on now ? They are showing 30 mins extra footage from the first episode.

The Boardroom lasted 45 mins ! Trump discussed & argued in detail with everybody, nobody was spared. Sad they dont show all this, just edited parts.

Geez, that's a lot of extra footage! They do SO much editing to keep things paced and "entertaining". I think maybe I'm going to have to watch these "extended cuts" from now on.
