Ex-'Apprentice' Contestants Ereka, Omarosa Face Off

I love this woman's snarky comment about the other woman's job prospects. With the exception of the Amerian Idol singers (who actually have a talent to market other than being on TV), almost none of these reality show stars ever stay famous, or get big jobs out of it. Elisabeth from Survivor is on The View, but it also didn't hurt that her husband is an NFL quarterback. Colby from Survivor's got a razor commercial -- big deal. Any of these "stars" who really think that they're going to have lasting big bucks, and megastardom, out of their fifteen minutes of fame is delusional.

Omarosa is a future lawsuit waiting to happen to any firm that hires her.

"It also says that the final episode will be a 2-hr show on April 15th. "

I hope it comes on at 8, so I'll have from 10 to midnight to get my taxes done!

Andy,

I usually do not revel in others plight, but I rather enjoyed those two words thrust upon that itch with a "B". All her machinations before she got canned, it was so Clintonian !

But the cu-de gras was her statements in the car, that she was for Diversity and NO MAN was her adversary or something to that affect, get a life Wench, tell that to the 82nd ID and the Special Forces hunting for Osama that no man is there Adversary in the words of Bugs Bunny, What a Maroon....

Please tell me people aren't really watching this tripe? Please?
Get the History Channel or The Travel Channel or any number of other things to watch. Read a book for Goodness sake! Sheesch!

First I have to wonder if she even knows what a concussion is

YOu could tell Donald was seething at that and wanted to fire her the week before he actually did, bringing up that incident.

However the other girl didn't stand up for herself. At least the fiesty one that was canned last week did take offense at Omarosa's "I didn't think she had class" comment.

Like a previous poster said, the only job she has waiting for her is with Jesse Jackson. However I fear someone's going to hire her for fear that she's going to drop the N-bomb on them.

At least I gained something from her character, the use of the "X"-bomb phrase. I'm dropping *fill in the blank*-bombs all over the place now.

[Wright is right!]

"Get the History Channel or The Travel Channel."

The Travel Channel has jumped the shark. It used to be all about travel. Then, it morphed into the Tourist Channel (there's a big difference between being a traveler and a tourist). Now, it's hard to say what it is. Many nights, it's POKER. What does THAT have to do with traveling? Other nights, it's a wholly-owned case of Vegas Spam. They're running a big series on Weird Travel, which is way off the mainstream. We still check to see what they're running, but very rarely find something interesting, and we're both big travel nuts.

"Apprentice," on the other hand, is quite enjoyable fare. Omorosa could do more to single-handedly set back race relations in this country that a gaggle of Sharptons.

You are right about the Travel Chanel it is not as good as it was. Poker, LV etc. are not my idea of fun either. You are going to have to watch the reality junk (redoing each others houses etc.) I can't think of many things that intrest me less.

[Wright is right!]

"You are right about the Travel Chanel it is not as good as it was."

The Travel Channel is a Discovery-run channel, and the powers that be are really misguided as to what type of viewer it attracts. A travel-oriented channel will attract people who enjoy traveling. Unfortunately, what travel-related programing the Travel Channel offers is geared for people who HAVE NEVER traveled, i.e., the Travel Newbie. People who don't travel much or at all are not going to be interested in a travel TV channel. So they're aiming at the wrong demographic target.

They used to have a program some years back called Travel Daily with Peter Greenberg and Tracy Gallagher. It dealt with hot travel topics of the day, fare deals, unadvertised specials, places you might not think to visit. It was a fun show. But it went buh-bye after only being on one year as programming was shifted to the mass-market formulaic approach they use now. Both Greenberg and Gallagher are still TTC contributers, Gallagher moreso than Greenberg. But they don't do a show together and Greenberg shows up on various other networks as a travel analyst.

I'm especially galled at Travel Channel's various Travel Secrets programs, which reveal no secrets at all except things that the very uncurious would find surprising. All of its shows in cruising assume that the viewer has never cruised before. There's virtually no content at all for the active traveler.

Hey, if there is an Apprentice ping list, please add me on. That being said, I am not too sure it will be ineresting anymore now that Omarosa is gone. I used to just root for her to be booted off. Now I don't really care.

[Marbie]

dude, lighten up on the self-righteous scorn. Believe it or not, it is very possible to watch intelligent channels, read classics and philosophy, AND watch shows like the Apprentice. It's called being well-rounded. It's okay for people to play and be entertained, especially after working at difficult jobs all day, and some of these reality shows are totally hilarious.

The Apprentice is very educational, which surprised me. I watched it sort of by accident, peripherally when it first came out--just background noise, I was too lazy to turn the TV off while I was working at home. Show turned out to have a surprising amount of wisdom and the human dynamic is fascinating.

[Ditter]

>>>> surprizing amount of wisdom & human dynamics>>>>>> Kinda like watching Anna Nicole Smith?

[PJ-Comix]

I am praying that Omarosa becomes a featured speaker this summer at the Democrat National Convention. In fact, if she isn't asked to be a speaker she should scream racism. Since Omarosa is so hated, her speech to the Democrats would be the kiss of death for them. Someone should get to Omarosa and convince her to try to be the speaker at the Democrat convention. In Omarosa's delusional mind she is a major political player (when actually she was nothing more that a secretary for Algore).

[PJ-Comix]

She kept on injecting herself when it wasn't needed, and in one case (trying to sell Trump's water) she kept on stepping on the toes of her fellow saleswoman. Couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Even worse, even after promising NOT to try to sell the Trump Ice, she then went on to mention numbers. Then she laughed about pissing Amy off. How the hell can ANYBODY work with Omarosa? It would be IMPOSSIBLE!

[PJ-Comix]

I have a concussion where is my lawyers business card?

The wheels started turning in Omarosa's mind the instant that paint flake floated onto her head. First she see's an NBC doctor who told her she was fine. Then she goes to a hospital emergency room. All in preparation for a lawsuit. Problem is that while Omarosa begged out of working on the apartment in order to recuperate from her "concussion," she walked outside to play basketball with some kids. It will be hard to convince after they see Omarosa playing basketball on tape.

Omarosa

I suspect in 10 years you'll have an Apprentice reunion. Omarosa will be an overweight single mother with 5 children and working part time in a DC diner. Mark my words!

[PJ-Comix]

No idea where he got this "I'm just a cowboy" accent from.

Troy's parents might have been Okies. A lot of them settled on the Left Coast.

[ClintonBeGone]

You're on!
