I think the orchestra adds to the performance too. These guys are professionals, so the band is gonna sound good. They can make a half way decent singer sound good, and a bad singer sound ok. It's supposed to be about the individual. I'd rather have it just them and maybe a guitarist and pianist, nothing else.

I think Ryan looked cute too. A far better cry then what he wore Tuesday.

One of our local newscasters interviewed Da Donald for the Mis USA Pageant and they asked him about Chris' arrest. He kept saying over and over that he has anger management issues. Does he seem to like him on the show? Going by that interview I would think Donald wants him to go soon.

Except that The Donald does have a son.

I do think he's been extremely generous with Chris, possibly because he does like him & see potential (a self made millionaire before age 30) despite the obvious personality flaws. He might've been privately been waiting to see how far he could let Chris go before finally having no choice but to fire him.

Also as with many who slide week after week...there's always been somebody whom Trump decides is more worthy of those two little words.

Until tonight...!!

Like Buffy - I'm not that surprised to see Nadia go, but still kind of disappointing. Simon's right - if she sang a catchy song like the one she sang last night, she would still be in the competition.

Here is my prediction for how the remaining contestants will shake out:

- Scott
- Anthony
- Anwar
- Bo
- Vonzell

Finale between Constantine and Carrie, with Constantine winning.

Too many teeny boppers, Carrie too bland.

Except that The Donald does have a son.

[/b][/quote]Really???? Woops, my bad!

To answer Bethie's question about Chris - remember the finale hasn't been aired yet so the Donald could be choosing his words very carefully in regards to how he really feels about the contestants.

The Donald has 2 sons and a daughter. Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric. Junior was his best man at his latest wedding.

Don't ask me why I know all this crap.

My understanding is that all the shows have been taped - with the exception of the finale which will be live. So the final two contestants although they know who they are there is no winner yet.

I think you are pretty close in your assessment, but on this day in history, I would trade Anthony with Anwar, and Vonzell with Carrie. Mine would look like this:

Scott (his 'angry young man' is showing!)

Anwar (limited fan base)

Anthony (rabid young girls)

Bo (unless he ups it to a 2+ trick pony)

Carrie (does anyone else but me think she is an ungrateful twit? Never see her say thank you, or blow kisses to her fans like the other girls - in fact she comes off VERY smug)

Vonzell and Constantine in Final 2. They will rock out a duet of Endless Love complete with Stinky's eye fucking the camera
and Vonzell's rump shaker.

That would actually be a blast.

Connie will win this whole thing and go on national tour and there will be endless reruns of his Elimidate episode in which he won the girl. Vonzell will sell more CD's than Connie (in the vein of Clay selling more than Ruuuuuuben) and she will launch her very own Baby V clothing line.

Next season Paula will go into rehab. She will be replaced by Jane Wiedlen - the former Go Go....

I don't know why this reminded me of the verse in the song, "Celebrity"..... "Can't wait to wreck a ferrari..on my way to rehab".

Ok, she's already wrecked a mercedes. She's halfway there.

My understanding is that all the shows have been taped - with the exception of the finale which will be live. So the final two contestants although they know who they are there is no winner yet. [/b][/quote]Yes. What Big Daddy said.

Guess my point was the Donald would be careful not to give anyone the idea he hated Chris therefore making the audience think Chris was not the winner, OR to the other extreme stick up for him and give him accolades in case people would take his comments to mean Chris is the winner.

Man, that made no sense.

Well, Paula DID offer me a drink from her cup this morning....

Bethie probably understood - heck she even knows the Trump family tree!!

You know I understand. It usually works that people don't understand me.

Aint' that right Bad Daddy?

I know too much gossip for my own good. I should go work for The National Enquirer or something.

Ryan Seacrest is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his radio work.

Huh?

Are they giving these stars away in cracker jacks boxes now or something?

Well, literally all you need is a fan club or some kind of following... you just need a sponsor, $15,000 and a few signatures.

For those watching The Apprentice - I really enjoyed tonight's show. I don't agree with the firing though. I think Trumpp was led into that by George and Carolyn - I don't believe that is who he would have choose on his own.

I don't want to say more since some may not have watched it yet - and others have a difficult time with TIVO and usually run 12-24 hours behind the rest of us. :p

But I enjoyed tonight's show - my feelings on a few people changed tonight - some for the good and others for the bad. The next few weeks should be interesting.

Agreed. We can discuss tomorrow. Give DB time to do TIVO and Freddie time to go to Economics class.

But Chris....whoa. "Exteriorly"? "Interiorly"?


But the best quote of the night - AGAIN Tana: "He's a virgin and we're all sluts!"

Survivor:

Stephanie continues to rock! I will forgive her for trading immunity for pizza only because Tom loses major brownie points for being a lightweight. The most manliest man on the island and he is a staggering drunk. He needs to eat more shark!

Talk about the Apprentice all you want - I don't watch it!

Here is the list of shows that I got on regular record for TIVO:

- American Idol
- Survivor
- Amazing Race
- Numbers - Friday evening CBS show about an FBI agent who can't seem to solve a case without his genius mathematician brother - Once again, this just proves that I'm a

Survivor Talk Coming...

The Greatest Survivor Ever (previously known as Stephenie) joined with the other tribe. They were right to kick out Coby last night - that guy was becoming a powerhouse.

I don't watch Survivor, but I saw news clips of how this Stephenie chick was all alone in her tribe. I watched maybe 5 minutes of it last night. All I know is that woman has more balls then I'll ever have in my life. I would have slept with anybody I had to to join the other tribe.

I agree with the first statement and disagree with the second.

I would like to have seen Alex (is that his name?) go this time and had Chris get just ONE more shot. Alex completely screwed up on the photos ... although no one seemed to mention it, including the female model was unnecessary one of the many mistakes. How on earth could he use '...there wasn't enough time...' as an excuse for not including even one shot of that cool interior emblem...!!!!!

However, I don't think it was Carolyn & George who 'persuaded' Trump to finally fire Chris. As everyone (even Chris) knew...this was his 7th straight trip to the Boardroom. And as Project Manager for this task...the one in which he KNEW he had to prove himself...he failed.

And as Trump finally said, it was time.

I was actually sad to see it happen...and as with many times before, I believe Trump was especially kind and respectful to Chris on the way out. Anyone notice the lump in Carolyn's throat? I was tearing up at about the same time!

Ah, well....

Apple

Agreed. Steph is the greatest EVER. I hope she goes all the way. (Bet DB set his TIVO on slo-mo when she gave up her buff! That was hot! )

In retrospect, everyone must have known they were on the same page regarding Coby and that is why they all jumped for food. Noone with half a brain would give up a chance at a million bucks for donuts and cookies.

Coby has his rightful place on the Jury. He can let his "gossipy girl" self go to town from now on at Tribal Council.

Sidenote: Never trust a guy with fairy wings tattooed on his back shoulders...

And in HD!

Just kidding Buffy... I don't have HD!

Yeah, by all accounts, they should ALL know the order of who is getting kicked out in terms of the outsiders.

I have a feeling the skinny Vegas girl or the skinny lawyer lady will go next.

After 22 days with hardly any food I think we'd all be a skinny something.

That skinny Vegas girl though - she was skinny at the beginning of the show... Now she makes Nadia look like Scott!

Very good point! I went on a "I hate Alex" tirade with a friend last night. First off, I didn't understand the concept of the pictures. When I saw the only slightly attractive blonde model on the car - I told myself "Noooo!" - they are going for the white trash Poison/Warrant/Whitesnake video look and that is NOT what this car is all about. Alex ignoring Bren's direct request to get a shot of the logo - well, Alex is ADD or something. Or is Alex just stupid and lazy when there are WOMEN around him.

On the other hand, Tana has been involved in some very good projects lately. I like the way she deals with people but I was just a bit peeved at her comment about being exempt so she knows it is not her head on the line. Whether or not you agree with Kendra's insistence that they pull an all-nighter, Tana should not have made that comment. Kendra acted like a baby at the presentation. But of course "SHE WAS THE
PROJECT MANAGER!!!!!! WAH!"

I really would have preferred to see lazy Alex go. Chris was entertaining, I looked forward to seeing what he would do each week.

Maybe he will migrate to ABC and be next seasons The Bachelor. I can see it now This season on the Bachelor - our first ever struggling to overcome his anger management issues and the only Bachelor so far wearing the nicotine patch!

That's Janu. She admitted she hasn't pulled her weight (no pun intended ) and by the look on her face when the votes were read, she was disapointed she didnt get voted off.

Next week on Survivor: Gender questionables Coby and Janu arm wrestle for title of Jury Foreman....

Oh totally!! Me too, I love that show. I watch it Saturday mornings around 8 or 9, like a cartoon. :p

But at least we Tivo it, which means we've got better things to do on Friday nights. The REAL nerds watch it ON Friday nights...

First - TIVO Rocks.

Besides AI and The Apprentice - I also TIVO Numbers. It is not as good as I had thought though. I am kind of losing interest in that.

The other show I TIVO is 24 - now that show is Da Bomb ....

Oh totally!! Me too, I love that show. I watch it Saturday mornings around 8 or 9, like a cartoon. :p [/b][/quote] - That's exactly what I do.

You really shouldn't be making fun of BDD with your application to the Wuss League still up in the air! :p

Oh I know she wasn't talkin 'bout me there ...

Besides she is not looking to get in the Wuss league. She is 'too good' for us - she is staying in the real league. Or so she thinks, once PL goes on one of his rants about her missing days and such - she will be back, looking to get in the 'Fun' league.

I think she sees PL as a Sugar Daddy - if you know what I mean.

Like hang out on the Gangster BB [/b][/quote]Or go coffee shop hopping. :p

BDD, I thought I was still a wuss... I joined basketball, not baseball. Why are you always trying to confuse me?
