Im embarresed to say, I never watched Survivor or any of that other nonsense, maybe its the fact that Donald Trump is on it, but this show is good and funny at the same time. I've only seen on episode, but I think it has potential. At least its a little different than the other reality shows.

This is the reality show that I am most suited for.

The only fault of it is that Sam would have been gone in the first show, no doubt, if they didn't think he was good for ratings. TV producers must feel that you have to hate someone to watch the show. You can't tell me that Trump wouldn't have fired his ass on the spot when falling asleep on a deadline.

I am liking this show myself. I have only seen two so far but it's pretty good. I am getting an education in how the other half thinks!

I agree because he's one dumb chit. And the ladies are now 2 & 0 and have showen both weeks. Sex still sells. But you can see some trouble comeing for them. They have two maybe three that seem to just hate each other. That can be there down fall.
One thing that did just occur to me. As far as reality. Well Donald and what were seeing. That is the 2% of the world. Then theres the rest of us.

I have to disagree....sure keeping Sam is good for ratings...but Donald is one of the producers and there is no way he'd make himself look bad........his ego way too big to allow that to happen.....yes, all of us would have get rid of Sam.....but then again maybe that's why Donald is so loaded, he makes decisions we'd never think of :shrug:

Bottom line is this.......if Jason would have met with the bosses, Sam would have been gone :cool:

I mean.......NOT MEETING WITH THE BOSS was moronic, I mean that's a HUGE ERROR :shrug:




and how about Omarosa turning it into a "race issue".....gimmie a break :nono: :nono: Can't stand when people do that :nono:




oh and by the way........there was no way in hell any team of guys could have won the Lemonade Challenge, girls would win that challenge every single time :)

I thought the exact same thing. Man this is Donald Trump we're talking about, just cant picture him in a production meeting getting told who to fire and who not to fire because one would look better on TV. No way.

If you guys think that Donald has complete control over this show, you're out of your mind. It's obvious that neither of the guys that have been booted was going to win, so if it is inevitible (sp?) that they're going to be gone, then why not keep the guy around that could help ratings.

Noone is going to tell Donald who to keep in the end, but he may be "influenced" in the order that they are eliminated.

If I walked into a job interview and Sam was on the other side of the table, I am pretty sure that I would politely excuse myself from consideration. There is no way I would work for that guy.

henderson,nv.
Missed the 2nd one but your right about the first one the girls who are very good looking and smart had it made selling the drink for the kiss, what was # 2 about? And for sam he might be a snake but he is a self made go getter who seems to have a very good heart cutting business mind, he almost had the guy pay the grand for the frozen lemonade. and that house was just unreal or say that apartment which is twice the size of our house out here i would say, but i like the way sam thinks he is the kind of guy that could make it from what little i have seen in the real big business world no fear and no heart and seems to think 3 steps ahead. The chick that owns the diner or what ever is hot and seems to have a good business mind the black hair one from wash state i really dislike, the black chicj has a great set of legs on her, and the realastate babe 24 and the #1 sales person in Ca. she has to be pulling in big bucks her looks don't hurt but she has to have other things going for her to be as high up as she is where can you go from there?

Over all it is not a bad show for the type of show it is, the guy that got me was the geek dr/mba guy who got kicked or canned first, that is a guy who is so smart he does not or seemed he did not know how to socialize in public, think he is suited for a top knotch resherch person where there is him a stack of data/lab and pc with no other people around, all brains and lost in life:shrug:

I liked when that chick said, "Calling the kettle black." and the black chick sez it's a racist remark. A little defensive????????????? What an idiot. Then when everybody is celebrating their victory, she wants them all to shut up so she can sleep. Get her "kettle" ass outta there.

This show like all other "reality" shows truly suck. This one worse than others since it brings out all the bad things in people.

Talk about putting down the common man.....

By the HATE THAT RACE CARD CHIT!:cool:

ace, if you have never watched survivor, how can you State this program is much better. Actually I like the show, and think it has the potential to last a few more seasons. Seems entertaining, maybe that's because Mark Burnett produces the show, same guy that has made millions on SURVIVOR. Trump himself says Burnett is brilliant.

Survivor believed it or not can be entertaining television, of course somewhat Corny at times, but generally entertaining. Survival on some of these locations for 40 days is physically strenuous and at times mentally taxing due to the company your forced to be with. I watched the first season faithfully, after that missed several & have caught most of the last 2. I'd have to agree most of the reality shows really are terrible, and most continue to get worse as they digress further and further. Burnett produces a decent interesting show however, I'm sure his talent will show in the apprentice.

1 side note, villains always drive a bigger audience than heroes for some reasoning. In other words twice as many people probably will watch because they can't stand Sam & want to see him fired eventually. Meaning as dawg said they probably keeping him around for ratings.

well I guess we agree to disagree......but nobody will convince me that Donald isn't doing what he wants.....he wants so and so gone....he's gone......screw the order....screw that......I don't believe it for a second............he will get rid of who he wants, he could care less about "the order".......and by the way...not calling the boss was a HUGE ERROR!!!!


and by the way..........it's not like it is a "live show" it was taped in the summer.....so before the actual "firing" takes place, they don't know for sure if Sam is good for ratings or not....it's a guess.

Bottom line..........Trump will kick off whoever the hell he wants.....nobody will tell that dude what to do......it's his dam show....there would be no show if it were not for him......

Not the first time I've been accused of that...today!;)

I have no doubt that Trump holds the keys to this car, but he is also making money on this. If he thinks ratings are going to be better because he has a snaky guy like Sam, then he is going to want to keep him. NOT because he is better for the job.

Yes, calling the boss was a mistake, but the show convinced the audience that it was the mistake of a lifetime. People make mistakes, and I think the kid learned from it. There is just absolutely NO WAY that Trump would ever have a guy like Sam run his company.

The guy that got booted the first round will probably never be the president of a company, but I can see him as the man running the show behind the scenes. He just didn't have the face to face skills, IMO.

I guess this means that I have fallen for the reality trap. Up to this point, I have stayed out of this genre.

By the way, we went out with Jen from the Bachelor (Firestone) last night. Nothing special at all. She was a lot shorter than I expected!

well......dam 4 shows....and the men lose everytime :eek:

I mean are the chicks ever going to lose.........:shrug: Although I must admit, kind of unfair some of the challenges, I mean the females have a huge advantage with that whole sex thing. Be interesting to see what next challenge is.........but with only 4 men left, the guys might get totally shut out :eek:


tough call with the elimination of Booie.......I myself would have picked NIck...the guy just gave up. I do think Nick is the smartest guy on the show..........but giving up like that........bad....very bad.

With that being said.......I think Nick will be one of the last two men left...as for the girls....who knows :shrug:
